Will "The Unborn" Please Stand Up?

I've been studying the writings of a teacher named Adyashanti who is probably one of the most powerful individuals it has been my pleasure to meet. His writings are powerful too. I'm reading a book called "Emptiness Dancing" by him which is very easy to read but harder to delve.

One of the subjects he broaches is the question of whether life ends here or if we live after we die. Or whether there is life after life and life as we run through many lives trying to get it right.

I won't spoil the plot for you but I will state that Adyashanti brings up the concept of "the unborn" which is our very essence. This part of who we are cannot be killed because in reality it is never born. It lives always at a place which exists and existed long before the gleam entered our daddy's eyes.

We are saved already, there is no action to save us except our willingness to lay down our lives and cling instead to the eternal.

It is a powerful concept and it is one I find I'm going to have to look into over and over again.
