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.

That knot of separation is a core of fear. It’s a kind of revulsion toward everything. A sense of not being at peace, of not feeling relaxed beyond your knowing process, relaxed beyond action. Right? Weird things start to happen when you get ...
You’ll find that the enlightened form does become beautiful, not through exclusory separation though, not through some kind of agenda that it thinks it’s great. It’s at this point when you begin to detect that the energy of the universe is in ...
David: There is a beautiful Shakti in the room. Does everybody know what the Shakti is? It's for people who are not satisfied to realize the Divine. The Shakti is for those who want to feel the Divine. Do you see that distinction? You can know ...
Meditation happens spontaneously as Being opens up to the mind. You can say that meditation is the response of the mind to the presence of Being, something that causes the mind to surrender, to actually revert back toward its non-cognitive or ...
David: The reason why we were designed in embodiment was so that we could taste the ecstasy of living. You can call it compulsory joy. The Buddhists, of course, have a hard time with this. For them relativity is a bad trip. It's a bum trip ...
Participant: So, if I experience beingness as just bliss and joy, what is everything else? David: It’s all that. It’s all that. Except it’s not so much that, when you begin to suffer, either through physical ailments or through the aging process ...
David: Yes. Participant: How can you, how can one stay connected with that type of relationship? David: Participant: How can what? Participant: …one stay connected with that type of relationship? Because, you know, living day-to-day, or being ...
The thought just occurred to me, where does the energy come from to live through this process of self-awakening? It does not come from discrete acts of human effort. It does not come from self-willed consciousness. You’ve got to begin to feel ...
Even though I speak, my teaching is one hundred percent internal. It’s a deepening, an immersion and also an outpouring from the depths. It’s bliss. It’s the language of bliss, which is the language of the heart. Real spirituality is nothing but ...
