Im really enjoying reading Adyashantis Resurrecting Jesus in preparation for my upcoming retreat with him. Heres an excerpt: When transfiguration occurs, we begin to move with what I call “spiritual autonomy .” By spiritual autonomy, I mean a kind of certainty— not an egoic certainty, but one that comes from your essential nature , from the level of divine being. We find this spiritual autonomy very clearly mirrored in the figure of Jesus. Jesus walks through his life knowing who he is and what he’s doing, even though his disciples don’t understand him, the authorities don’t understand him, and the Pharisees don’t understand him. At times it seems like the whole world is against him, but he knows what his mission is, and nothing and nobody is going to get in the way of that. He lives that mission out unto his death. The price he pays for that autonomy is his own life. This is a mythic portrayal of what spiritual autonomy looks like and how it moves in the world of time and space. It’s not even trying to make the egoic perspective understand it or agree with it; it is its own dominion, its own sovereignty. It’s going to do what it’s going to do, and the egoic state of consciousness literally has no capacity whatsoever to understand it, because this autonomy is functioning from a different dimension of being.
