Adyashanti: Q&A—practical advice on working with "I got it, I lost it" situation

**part of a Q&A excerpted from Lake Tahoe Retreat May 2019 Q&A (Day 4), which is available (currently 63 videos) with "basic membership" ($5/month, unbelievable!) at:    • Lake Tahoe Retreat May 2019 Q&A (Day 4)   "Let me just kind of give you a little reflection back to make sure you don't miss it.  'I need to acknowledge—acknowledge,' and you heard me talk about the practice of acknowledgement during this retreat, I imagine. I've mentioned it several times of how powerful the practice of acknowledgement is. That which you saw, knew yourself to be during that awakening, is still present. You are still that emptiness.  Acknowledge it, which means give it your attention. Don't try to grasp it. Don't try to understand it. Don't try to do anything with it. Just intuitively acknowledge it, but only over and over and over and over and over. Acknowledge it: 'oh, okay, that's what I have experienced myself to be. Okay, let me take a moment to be that knowingly. Let me just let that sink in for a moment. ... and by doing that, true nature just starts to become more stable. it just starts to deepen and the confusions start to clarify themselves..." ~ Adyashanti Recorded at Granlibakken Tahoe in Tahoe City, California on May 17-24, 2019. adyashanti.opengatesangha.org/store/media/audio-do… -------------------------- Adyashanti, author of The Direct Way, Sacred Inquiry, Emptiness Dancing, The Way of Liberation, Falling into Grace, True Meditation, and The End of Your World, is an American-born spiritual teacher devoted to serving the awakening of all beings.
