Falling into Grace: Insights on the End of Suffering

Falling into Grace: Insights on the End of Suffering by Adyashanti

There's something about insights that are definitely appealing to me. Even though I understand that insights are conceptual and can only “point” to the real thing, they are vitally important for people including myself who need clarity and resonance. Adyashanti's expertise within the Advaita/non-duality circuit of teachers (or people who have “awakened” not necessarily in a particular lineage) is his uncanny ability to deconstruct the “thinking” that the mind does in its day-to-day existence that keeps us suffering. There are layers and layers of peeling away to get to various truths. His subject is the end of suffering and the chapters basically originate from a series of talks given during the Fall of 2009 in Los Gatos, California.

Everyday Enlightenment: Seven Stories of Awakening

Everyday Enlightenment
Sally Bongers, the distinguished Australian cinematographer, compiled these interviews whilst researching subjects for a documentary film on Enlightenment. Initially she sought out established spiritual teachers, but her emphasis changed to interviewing ordinary people who had experienced a shift of perception which, in the Eastern tradition, would be called Enlightenment or Liberation. She found men and women who still live their lives much as they had done before the realisation, working and living in the everyday world. Seven of their stories were chosen for this book. Hearing these people talk about living with this understanding in the real world (not in an ice-cave somewhere!) confirmed the closeness of it all. These stories make it clear that Enlightenment can 'happen' to anyone, regardless of so-called spiritual qualifications or various practices of seeking.
