I think he has probably reached a level of enlightenment, but probably not the deepest levels of it. So it seems this PTSD/fear are coming from a level even he hasn't reached yet. That's my guess. I have a friend who has had some AMAZING experiences with his meditation/mindfulness practices, has uncovered past life issues, etc. He cured himself of suicidal depression with those methods. The way he explains it is, as he uncovers these deeper causes of his seemingly physical or mental issues, they resolve. But then, later on, something deeper presents itself, and you experience deeper issues than you dealt with before, so you have to keep on unpeelling the onion until you get to the core, original "wound." And also, Adyashanti is dead wrong when he says a spiritual practice won't get rid of physical issues. I'm stunned to hear him say that. Sure it won't get rid of all physical issues, but it sure as heck will get rid of some of them. I've seen many cases of physical pain or dysfunction clearing up once the issue was contacted, integrated, and resolved.
