Here is another installment from the 2010 Science and Nonduality Conference - this is the Keynote Address from Adyashanti. I've not spent much time with his work, but what I have read or seen I quite like.
Adyashanti: The Inner Revolution of Spiritual Awakening
Adyashanti dares all seekers of peace and freedom to take the possibility of liberation in this life seriously. He began teaching in 1996, at the request of his Zen teacher with whom he had been studying for 14 years. Since then many spiritual seekers have awakened to their true nature while spending time with Adyashanti.
The author of The End of Your World, Emptiness Dancing, and True Meditation, Adyashanti offers spontaneous and direct nondual teachings that have been compared to those of the early Zen masters and Advaita Vedanta sages. However, Adya says, "If you filter my words through any tradition or-ism, you will miss altogether what I am saying. The liberating truth is not static; it is alive. It cannot be put into concepts and be understood by the mind. The truth lies beyond all forms of conceptual fundamentalism. What you are is the beyond -- awake and present, here and now already. I am simply helping you to realize that."

Hey William, yeah Adyashanti is pretty brilliant. I can't say a whole lot about his teachings, but his presence is strong. I definitely recommend seeing him live if you ever get a chance.
