"[Spiritual awakening] It's literally a remembering of what we are...if this remembering is authentic, it's not viewed as a personal thing...

One of the greatest misunderstandings about awakening or enlightenment is that it is some sort of mystical experience...

One can have deep Kundalini experiences, deep energetic experiences, pleasurable or unpleasurable, and these aren't really ultimately the same as awakening...

When one is truly awakened, when they've really gone beyond the veil of the illusion of duality and separation, what's perceived is everything that looks different and distinct actually in its essence is the same...

Spiritual awakening really reveals that that which is unspeakable and unexplainable is actually what we are. It is the unspeakable, it is spirit itself that wakes up..."

About the book: 
More and more people are “waking up” spiritually. And for most of them, the question becomes: now what? “Information about life after awakening is usually not made public,” explains Adyashanti. “It's most often shared only between teachers and their students.” The End of Your World is his response to a growing need for direction on the spiritual path. Consider this book Adyashanti’s personal welcome to “a new world, a state of oneness.”

Chapter Titles Include:
Exploring Life After Awakening
“I Got It, I Lost It”
Coming Completely Out of Hiding
Common Delusions, Traps, and Points of Fixation
The Energetic Component of Awakening
Effort or Grace?
An Interview with Adyashanti
~~~
Adyashanti begins by describing the “I got it/I lost it” phenomenon that perplexes so many of his students—the fluctuation between what he calls “non-abiding” awakening and the ultimate state of “abiding” enlightenment. With straight talk and penetrating insight, Adyashanti then points out the pitfalls and cul-de-sacs that “un-enlighten” us along the journey, including: the trap of meaninglessness; how the ego can “co-opt” realization for its own purposes; the illusion of superiority that may accompany intense spiritual breakthroughs; and the danger of becoming "drunk on emptiness.”

“Full awakening comes when you sincerely look at yourself, deeper than you've imagined, and question everything,” teaches Adyashanti. The End of Your World is your invitation to join Adyashanti for an honest investigation of what you really are—and how to live once you discover it.

The End of Your World book is adapted from Adyashanti’s CD album of the same title, with additional material added.
