The Impact of Awakening: Excerpts from the Teachings of Adyashanti (3rd Edition)

The Impact of Awakening presents a collection of dynamic excerpts from Adyashanti's satsang dialogues and lectures. The reader is guided from the initial impulse to be free, to its culmination in liberation. Adyashanti also speaks about the role of grace, the student-teacher relationship and how to move beyond beliefs that distort our perception of the truth. This third edition includes a new introduction by Adyashanti. From the New Introduction by Adyashanti: The material for this book came from two consecutive evenings of discussions with a small group of about ten students who met at my wife Mukti's and my small cottage that we were living in at the time. We all barely fit into the tiny cottage and sat shoulder to shoulder in what turned out to be two very intimate and powerful evenings of inquiry and discussions. . . . I hope that you can enter into the inspired atmosphere that we all shared during those two evenings and join in the timeless present where everything happens for the very first time.
