Self-Realization is that stage of life in which you realize that your Consciousness is beyond the world of form, it is immersed in Formless Being, the Absolute. This is the first phase of Realization.
There is a more mature swing within that initial tendency toward the Unmanifest that pushes toward the outer reality, what we call the external world. The immature phase of Self Realization insists that “I Am That” and that’s the end of the story. It does not contain the knowledge that “Thou Are That” and “Everything Is That,” those two latter movements belong to a more mature phase of Self-Realization.
So the initial phase is exclusive, it’s exclusively subjective. It’s merely a statement about the subjective terrain or depth of my own Consciousness whereas this latter movement is more on a horizontal plane which begins to embrace the outer forms and states of being that exist within the world. Included within those states of being is also your dream state, your sleep state and your waking state. Those too become embraced in this more advanced form of Self-Realization.

The reason why we meditate is just to hear the noise and to observe how it dissipates, without any internal motion. We don't have a pure self in back of it all that wipes things away and fixes our mind and makes us clean. Every mind within is a ...
For someone who is immersed unconditionally in the Paramatman-Consciousness, that is dissolved in It completely and forever, this Being might manifest or generate various Transmissions, that might even seem to be incompatible, such as Energy and ...
Sahaja samadhi is a Self-Sustaining Condition. It does not need to be tended. It does not need to be even realized -- or re-realized. It’s eternally Self-Realizing -- and it has no locale. It’s not about the “Inner Self.” It has nothing to do ...
All the faith that you harness will be through your own experience. The deep faith and trust and perseverance you show in continuing to come here, entering into this Relationship -- all that is based on your own Self-recognition. It’s the ...
Participant: I have a question. David: Okay. Participant: … Something that changes: I'm noticing the light in my eyes seems different. I don't think I have cataracts and it’s, um, just my vision changed about a year and a half ago, in terms of ...
Participant: Even though the personality persists, would you say that there's a space of recognition between Essence and personality? So you can just see it, you know, and it keeps popping up at you, the more familiar you get with its ...
Enlightenment is a State of Being not a state of the mind and yet it’s only through the mind that that State of Being can dawn. It’s a transcendental state of perception that is revealed to the mind as long as is necessary for the mind to be ...
When you hear the words of the Realized speak about Self-Realization, it sounds easy, as though it's the most obvious and undeniable of all Realities. It's more obvious even than the perception of the world. But on its own level the mind ...
Guest: I have a comment. David: Speak up so that people can hear you. Guest: I don’t find that there are words to it, it just seems easier. David: Just easier… Guest: Easier to be… David: Easier to be… that’s important than just easier, that ...
