Enter the “Ordinary State” of Enlightenment
Many of us share the belief that enlightenment is rare—that true spiritual awakening only happens for extraordinary people. According to Adyashanti, this idea may actually be the most powerful impediment to our awakening. On Spontaneous Awakening, he invites you to inquire into the “ordinary nature” of enlightenment—and the profound truth of who you really are.
“Do not think that enlightenment is going to make you special—it’s not. If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred,” teaches Adyashanti. So where do we start? With the desire to look fearlessly at and inquire passionately into truth, explains Adyashanti. “When you stop resisting experience, what remains is the bliss of sheer nothingness. And everything that is possible lives in that nothingness.”
With more than seven hours of teachings, two guided meditations, and an exclusive Sounds True interview, Spontaneous Awakening is an eye-opening program that explores topics including:
- The self-authenticating nature of spiritual discovery
- The link between personal awareness and awareness itself
- How attachment can lead to complete freedom and unattachment
- Why genuine spiritual knowing requires mental subtraction—not addition.

One of Adya's best classes! The audio volume is very low, making it difficult to listen to in my car (Posted on April 17, 2014)
Review for Spontaneous Awakening Review by Edward G
Adyashanti makes everything so clear. His playful, open presence comes through on this program. He doesn't weigh you down with methods or things to remember. He opens you up to the presence you already are. (Posted on April 14, 2014)

Review for Spontaneous Awakening Review by Tim G
I have listened to this CD set right through twice whilst travelling in the car and have used the guided meditations on a number of occasions at home. I have found Adya's teaching to be life-changing for me. Adya's unpretentious, intimate, down-to-earth and, at times, humorous presentation allows me to enter in and experience these simple realities in my own life, here, now. (Posted on February 4, 2013)
Review for Spontaneous Awakening Review by Jo Ann E
Outstanding recording. Don't miss the last session when Tami thoughtfully interviews Adya asking all the questions that arose from the previous sessions. I've listened to this recording many times. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in following the "non-path" path. (Posted on October 16, 2012)

Review for Spontaneous Awakening Review by Susan King
As usual Adyashanti says it just how the soul can understand it. It feels as though there are little light bubbles busting in my body as it relates to the truths of his words. (Posted on August 11, 2011)
