"...we're constantly so involved and often trying to change whatever is occurring that we never actually wonder: 'I wonder what the natural state of consciousness is; I wonder what the natural state of thinking is; I wonder what the completely natural non-interfered state of emotion is'...Is the point actually to never have a thought again?...Is the idea to completely eliminate certain emotions that you don't want to have? And can we see that the effort to do that creates conflict?

So what is the natural state not only of consciousness but also of all of its content? And of course the only way we can discover the natural state of these things, which really means the natural state of our being, is we have to at some point stop trying to manipulate it all, stop trying to change it all the time..."

------------------------------
Almost all of spirituality is simply a means of returning to innocence. That’s really all it is. Part of this return to innocence involves seeing in every instance of human experience that there is a vast, indefinable context in which all experience happens -- good, bad, or indifferent. In this 2017 Seattle Intensive, Adyashanti explores closing the gap between reality and our conceptual beliefs about reality, and awakening to the pure, innocent nature of all existence.
