Divine Relationship is the Catalyst, October 28, 2015
Morning Webcast
Participant: Since the intensive in Larkspur, I’ve gained some sense of the value of the presence of my Being, that for the best of my efforts in surrender I had not yet known. It’s shifting everything in my life. Gone is the sense or perception that the disposability of my being is necessary for transformation. Thank you.
David: You could say that my active agency in this divine spiritual relationship that we share allows you to abandon the classical effort-based understanding behind spirituality and make this a living reality. It’s easy to just substitute one point of view for another and just believe in that new point of view. But I believe your comment reveals that you have not just altered your point of view. In fact, it shows that your point of view has been stabilized in a new experience, that consciousness itself, our relationship itself has afforded you a new domain of understanding and experience. And so, the catalyzing agent is this renewed and endlessly renewing connection that we share. This constitutes realization, either realization or the dawning of realization. We won’t put a tag quickly upon whether full realization has happened or some partial because I would like you to forget about that distinction. The reason being, if it’s partial you’re going to know about it. We don’t have to label it beforehand. We don’t have to know anything about how long a spiritual experience lasts or whether there has been a total revolution in consciousness. As far as I’m concerned the full state is in the initial taste. And we will just observe how this beautiful momentum that has been created continues. Watch for the developments that come out of this initial opening into the Self, into the heart, into reality.
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 ...
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 ...
Wow, the energy’s very beautiful. We’re really through the storm and we’re in the Sunshine. Now see, what I just said was not lifted from any scripture obviously. But it was something that came out of my sense of ongoing Satisfaction in ...
Moderator: A viewer says “was there something that you wanted to say about the energetic dimension a few moments ago?” David: Yes, I said it, that there is an energetic frequency that accompanies high Realization, deep spiritual Realization. ...
Participant: But as, over the last few months as my apprehension of Consciousness has deepened, I’m beginning to see what’s really going on, which is something quite different from what people tell us. What’s going on is that there is a place ...
I rely on the native power within Being, and not any kind of yoga that I’ve mastered, any kind of spiritual approach, any kind of teaching. It’s not because I don’t value approaches or I look down upon them. They’re just not appropriate for what ...
David: The most important thing is that you experience something, that something in you begins to enlarge and you begin to sense your own global self, not your little limited body-mind that does things around the house ; it shops vegetables and ...
You’re all equal to me. Everyone’s equal. It’s just your approach. Whatever your approach is.... I don’t favor anyone, but I’m just as much on you completely, individually, as I am on her. I’m "on you." Even if I’m looking here a lot and I don’t ...
See how nice, everybody is nice good boys and girls now. You know how little kids become fascinated with a toy. That’s how I feel all of you are. The toy is you, your own being and you are all like this [looking at an invisible object his hand.] ...
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: 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 ...
