In this video spiritual teachers / nonduality teachers from different traditions share their awakening experiences and enlightenment experiences in their own words.
******************************
Eckhart Tolleβs enlightenment in his own words: βAnd one night the thought came into my head – I describe it very briefly in ‘The Power of Now’ – In the middle of the night. ‘I can’t live with myself any longer!’ There was such an intense unhappiness. The depression was just too much to take. At that moment an inner separation happened. I couldn’t have explained exactly at that time, but retrospectively I can explain now what happened, because I understand it. I didn’t then. An inner separation happened between the unhappy self and a deeper sense of ‘I’ or Beingness, which I now call consciousness itself.β
Adyashantiβs enlightenment in his own words: βI had spiritual or mystical experiences from the time I can remember.β β¦ βI would walk around not knowing who I am, the identity had dropped away and I felt like emptiness looking through my own eye balls and feeling this incredible intimacy or oneness with everything around me.β β¦ βI had this intuition, that I am going to day at age 25 and I thought it was going to be physical death.β β¦ βI was sitting and meditating and trying intentionally having this breakthrough.β β¦ βI knew I couldnβt sustain this intensity indefinitely.β β¦ βOne day I sat down β¦ I focused all my will β¦ right at this moment I had this insight βI canβt do this.β β¦ It was complete defeat.β
Moojiβs enlightenment in his own words: βWhen I sat in front of Papaji and words from him really came through, because my mind didnβt want to hear what he way saying.β β¦ βIt wasnβt funny, Iβm laughing now.β βBut something seeped through and he said: If you wish to find the truth, you must vanish.β β¦ βI donβt know what that did.β βThis is a big trip, all the people are wasting their time, this guy doesnβt know what he is talking about.β βI decided on that day that I was long enough in this place.β β¦ βBut the serum was in.β β¦ βEverything that my mind made up vanished in an instant. And the one I thought I was was not there.β β¦ βThe person could not be found, even though I was looking at my hand. But it was seen that there was nobody in them.β
Rupert Spiraβs enlightenment in his own words: βAll that was present was the experience of sensing and sensing takes place in me β¦, in this open, empty, aware presence. β¦ It was so obvious to me that this experience was made out of myself.
Sadhguruβs enlightenment in his own words: βOne afternoon I just went and sat on a small hill.β β¦ βFor the first time I didnβt know which is me and which is not me. What was me was spread all over the place. I thought this madness lasted for 5,10 minutes. But when I came back to my normal ways of being 4,5 hours had passed.’ ‘I’m bursting with another kind of ecstasy which is indescribable.’
