"LET EVERYONE BE AS THEY ARE." Adyashanti

Adya said this to me almost 4 years ago at the end of a conversation with him.  I am continually learning what this means.  After he said this, he brought his hands together in a pranam and said "bless you heart'.  What a gift to have teachers that guide us to the Truth within. 

My deepest gratitude to all  that give us the space to Be That Which  WE ARE in all of our Human-ness if there is such a word.   Or I could say.... my deepest gratitude to my teachers, friends, and family that give us the space to acknowledge whatever arises and hold us in Love when things present themselves that we've hidden from for so  many years.

My deepest gratitude for 'something here' that gives acknowledgement for all the pain I have hidden and run from the last 35 years...

wow.... i've talked about hellish experiences and stories of childhood for all these years, but never was connected to the feeling sense of it all.... Just up in my head... which is ok as well.  It is how i survived.  The body is releasing, opening....... so much held in, no blame... just  a letting go... ahh yes! as i say in my yoga classes...... 

perhaps when all is met within,  the stories loose their force to consume our attention?
Let myself be as I am!  Let myself be a human and stop trying to be some supper spiritual blah blah blah concept of something other than what I am...!!!!!  What am I without all the conditioning?

received this wonderfully timely quote today in an email.

“Stop being who you think you are, and be who you Are. Let yourself know what you already know.” — Adyashanti
