But a good book. Read it and drop your illusions about the beautiful spiritual journey!
Hi emc:
I may have recommended this book to you some time back. It should be pointed out that Adyashanti is speaking to an audience he is familiar with: his students and others who come to enlightenment being strong on self-inquiry and weak on meditation. Throw in a few strong doses of guru shaktipat for good measure. The result can be quite a lot of chaos, often with little abiding inner silence to absorb it with.
So I would not say that "The End of Your World" is representative of what people will experience with the AYP approach. Rather, it is the kind of unfoldment one might experience if the cart gets in front of the horse. It is an excellent book for that, and I highly recommend it to anyone who feels that they are getting ahead of themselves, for any reason whatsoever. It can serve as a reminder of the importance of daily deep meditation, and a more self-paced approach in general.
Keep in mind that real enlightenment is unending ecstatic bliss and unifying outpouring divine love. All the rest is scenery, as is the enlightenment itself. Nothing going on here at all, but love.
