An Enlarged Perspective, March 5, 2010

Participant: David, what I noticed when I very first met you a number of years ago, is that I saw you as a certain person or a certain being, and then I would go away and I’d come back and you’d be totally different. And then gradually I saw that I was changing too. But the only thing I really had a concept of was that you were a completely different being every time I saw you. So I kept trying to tune into that new being and then I found that I changed. And that’s kind of all I understood about the whole thing but it, it seemed to help things grow.

David: Another way of saying that is that you can’t approach me.

Participant: Right.

David: And that’s what you learned, is that what is functioning up here is not static. Actually you said you saw me and saw me as a certain being but really you didn’t see me at all.

Participant: Right, right.

David: All you saw was what you were looking out of at that moment.

Participant: So my perspective kept changing and enlarging, right? Something like that.

Enlightenment must be to your satisfaction. No Guru, no Master, no Enlightened Being can tell you when your process has consummated. It's simply a question of quenching all of your spiritual thirsts and only you can truly know when that happens. ...
