Moderator: The viewer from Hawaii says, “In regard to my earlier question, you emphasized the importance of awareness. That is exactly what seemed to define those moments of contraction, sort of hard to describe.”
David: So the lesson is that you can’t become aware of Awareness. That’s the subtlety of this topic. That’s where you go is toward the realization that, “How can awareness possibly be aware of itself?” So there can be no duality in this. That’s what’s meant by no duality. Not that nothing appears or that you don’t see the world or that you are in a state where the world hasn’t arisen. If your eyes are open and you are talking to someone and you are perceiving things around you, you are in the world whether you admit it or not. You are subject to the effects of this world. Now Awareness, that’s something that’s very subtle and can only be known from meditation.

David: Yes. Participant: When Brahman shows up, as you put it, is it self-authenticating? Is it obvious? David: Oh my god. It's beyond that. It's too big to know. Brahman is too big to know. You should know that you know. There can be no way ...

Moderator: From Seattle, "If ones entire nervous system is alive with the movement of divine energy and this radiates to others, is that sahaja samadhi or can this happen prior to sahaja samadhi?" David: Yes it can happen prior, most definitely. ...
Participant: I'll try to say something, I don't know if I can though. I guess, uh...I just, um...I just feel such a profound love in the room. That's all I can really say. David: We don't need words. So beautifully said and yet we don't need ...
You keep your heart open in love. Don't go away from love. Don't figure this out with your head. Just open your heart in it. It’s so much easier. I know people who just want to go through the mind all the time. Oh god. It’s like applying sand ...
David: Yes, please. Participant: It’s about positive affirmation. What's the limit to how powerful positive affirmation is? David: It’s as unlimited as your consciousness is. If you consciousness is small then what you affirm will be small. If ...
