David: Samadhi is reality itself. It's not merely a personal state of Consciousness. It cannot be reduced to a trance state or some kind of fixed absorption in Consciousness. Certainly, that describes one aspect of samadhi having to do with ...
David: Every person who’s going to evolve into realization of the Self will have to go through the oscillations of waking up and falling asleep. I’m telling you what it’s caused by, an ongoing, persistent measurement performed by that individual ...
David: Do you understand that it’s the I-sense that disappears in these great experiences? Participant 1: Yes, gets out of the way. David: So, that’s the balancing act, is to accept that. To be without the I, and then come back to the I, because ...
