Story
As we open up to life and love and each other, as we awaken from our dream of separation, we encounter not just the bliss of existence, but its pain, too; not only life's ecstasy, but also its agony. Healing doesn't always feel good or comfortable or even "spiritual", for we are inevitably forced to confront our shadows, fears, and deepest longings - those secret parts of ourselves that we have denied, repressed, or deemed "negative" and unworthy of our love.

In this book of key spiritual teachings from unpublished discourses, the great Advaita Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we are not limited to the body. Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to search beyond ourselves for that which we believe we lack.

After 15 years as a spiritual teacher, Adyashanti has found that the simpler the teaching, the greater its power to initiate this awakening. On Falling into Grace, he shares what he considers fundamental insights to "open ourselves to that mysterious element that enters in the hidden and quiet moments and sparks a revolution in the way that we perceive life."

Story
We all long to be free of our discomfort and experience inner peace. However, the attempt to get rid of our discomfort is misguided. We're not broken and don't need to be "healed". Our difficulty is that our deeply suppressed emotional imprints from childhood distract us from an awareness of the present moment. Until this emotional charge from our past is integrated, our attempts to quiet our thoughts and access the peace, joy, and love that are bedrock to our being are of only limited success.

Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.

Your awareness is like the clear glass of a windshield - and through it, you experience every bit of your life. Awareness is inherently pure and clear.

Summary
Out of Suffering and into What Has Already Been Allowed
How can we bring an effortless yes to this moment? How do we stop running from “the mess of life”—our predicaments, our frustrations, even our search for liberation—and start flowing with all of it?
In small venues throughout the UK and Europe, a young teacher named Jeff Foster is quietly awakening a new generation of spiritual inquirers to the experience of abiding presence and peace in our ever-shifting world. His informal gatherings, blogs, and “kitchen-table video posts” have created a rising tide of interest in his teachings.
With The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff Foster invites us to discover the ocean of who we are: An awareness that has already allowed every wave of emotion and experience to arrive.
While Jeff delightfully admits the irony of an audio program to convey something that is beyond words to teach, here he confirms his ability to guide us in unexpected new ways to a space of absolute acceptance and joy, no matter what’s happening in our lives.
Those who enjoy spoken-word teachings will find this original audio edition of Jeff Foster’s book especially engaging. Here, he guides us in the spirit of his spontaneous talks and dialogs, into the direct experience of deepest acceptance.
Candid, thoughtful, humorous—and deeply compassionate toward those searching for a way out of suffering—this refreshing new luminary inspires us to stop trying to “do” acceptance … and start falling in love with “what has already been allowed.”

I love listening to Jeff because I start to feel what he describes. A deep acceptance of all the waves that appear in the vast ocean. This is a wonderful feeling of safety-when the argument against what is arising is dropped.

So sorry to be negative....
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The book was so expensive. He seems like a kind and gentle soul, but he repeats the same stuff over and over again and his voice starts to really push down, rather than lift up. I am so determined to overcome some issues that have been plaguing me and I believe mindfulness and meditation are the best paths forward. For that reason I was determined to hang in there. But I could only get about halfway through and had to stop. I couldn't listen to it for another minute. I really did not find this audio book to be helpful.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I'm open to many new ideas. I love Pema Chodron, and will probably listen to all of her stuff.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Please see first comment above.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Again, see above.
Any additional comments?
I wish him only the best, but this audio book was expensive, and I felt the review of it was necessary for future potential consumers.

Probably reflects on me
I know most of his listeners loved this book, based on the stars, but I found it to be repetitive and not very engaging. I got the whole idea of being the ocean and not the waves, but it didn’t resonate that much for me, so the repetition of this idea (I hung in there for six chapters) was tiresome. I wouldn’t recommend listening to this while driving, either, as the author’s voice was a bit hypnotic.

Audio book does not match the written book
I bought the Kindle edition of the book 1-2 years ago but never got around to finishing it (just read small sections). When I saw this audio version [has the exact title of the Kindle version], I thought of getting it and listen to the sections I skipped from the book but so far - I got the audio version yesterday - I found that the audio and the Kindle versions do not match.
Not sure why :(
It usually is not the case.

Fresh and uncomplicated
Everything about this book breaks the mold of traditional teachings about awakening.
The author is the narrator. His enthusiasm and vitality shine all the way through. Easy as pie to understand right off the bat,as there are none of the traditional terms to learn nor traditional terms used in a new way. One can pick it up and use it after just one chapter. I've studied and practiced a lot of different teachings on this subject and was often at a loss as to how to apply there understanding to my everyday life. Not so with Jeff Fosters's approach. I could start using it right away, and by the end of the book, he had covered every area and circumstance that i have ever found myself in or find myself in, today. I don't need any of the hundreds of books and recordings I have waded through for the last 33 years!

Profound Truth. Freeing.
What did you love best about The Deepest Acceptance?
Foster really addresses the core of the free life, acceptance, in a way that is accessible to the layman and practitioner a like. Spoken with a peaceful British accent, it's an inviting audio that reminded me to be gentle with myself and lured me into self-acceptance in a refreshing way.
What did you like best about this story?
He busts the common myth of good vs. bad emotion, and really drives home that acceptance in the here and now is the ideal orientation...rather than trying to be happy all the time.
Have you listened to any of Jeff Foster’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. This is my first time to hear Jeff Foster.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
That every situation, every emotion that comes up during the day, is just a wave in the ocean that is life. Resisting a situation or an emotion, is as futile as resisting a wave in the open water. Recognize every wave is a part of who I am, and accept what I'm feeling and going through, in the here and now.
Any additional comments?
The audiobook seems repetitive to me. Seems like he's saying essentially the same thing many times over. It's a good message to hear though.

Repetitive, but very good
Are you interested of listening to hours of your true nature talking to you through a different body mind than yours? If you are, then this is the right audiobook for you. If you have never heard of Jeff Foster then I think this would be a great introduction to his work. I am a deep and committed follower of Adyashanti, if you like his or Eckhart Tolle's work you should like this. Jeff does get very, very repetitive about the wave and ocean analogy, but you can't really blame him because the apology is as good as any other that describes what's it's like to experience from our true nature.

Very Repetitive
What did you like best about The Deepest Acceptance? What did you like least?
I appreciated the basic message that every 'wave' has already been deeply allowed.
I felt though that the message was communicated in the first half hour and then repeated over and over the next six hours. Try it for yourself: skip to any random point in the audio and see if 'wave' or 'deeply allowed' is mentioned within ten seconds.
If you’ve listened to books by Jeff Foster before, how does this one compare?
I haven't listened to any other books by Jeff Foster.
What does Jeff Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He brings expressiveness, warmth, and feeling to his message.
Do you think The Deepest Acceptance needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No I do not.
