Abstract

The paper presents Adyashanti's rendering of the lived experience of no-self. To fully understand what this state entails, it is necessary to view the trajectory of forms and qualities that consciousness can take during the spiritual unfolding, and how the experience of no-self fits into the overall arch of awakening from ego to self, and Based on his Study Course, 'The Experience of No-Self ', the paper introduces Adyashanti 's view on ego, self, and no-self, defined as particular acts and types of consciousness, and what it entails to let go of both ego and self. Finally the paper elaborates on the human expression of life beyond self and thus of becoming who and what we eternally are.
