Moderator: A viewer in Bangkok has a couple of questions. “The more we find this place, the more unfolding, the faster we evolve into the one.”
David: I’m hesitant to say faster. Faster is an idea projected by the relative mind that is feeling a bit impatient with things. I would rather say to simply enjoy each moment of your evolutionary process. Each moment affords you awakening. It’s deceptive to assume that one can accumulate repeated exposures to Being and then somehow magnify or quicken the process. That’s really the language of a time bound, space bound mind. The language of liberation is that it doesn’t matter how long it takes. I’m too busy soaking in Being to care when this ever culminates. Your enlightenment is now, it’s never in the future.
Moderator: The viewer comments, “Thank you, great.”
It’s bliss. Once you become deeply vulnerable to this feeling of Being, you can begin to awaken into it immediately. Even if you are a spiritual novice and even if you don’t have any sadhana behind you. That is even if you haven’t really done ...
What is the purpose of a teacher? What is the purpose of an awakened teacher? The teacher is simply magnifying what is already occurring in your life. The teacher does not add any outer element into your existence that isn't already latently ...
David:It's all I'm talking about is myself, hopefully yourself. Hopefully, you don't see me as any kind of an authority with power. Power in what I say or power in what I claim. Hopefully, you don't go there. I stay out of that arena. It's ...
And it's very important to understand the word spontaneous, to understand, to know, to feel what goes on here, when we're together. It's all about consciousness. It's about awakening into, feeling into, breathing into, consciousness and ...
Because of the subtle nature of darshan and spiritual transmission you might not always recognize that it’s happening. It may just fall on you silently. Yet later on, at a time perhaps, when you are not suspecting, the presence of that ...
It’s from the view point of deep meditative expansion that you can say, I am everything or everything is consciousness. It’s something that supersedes the ability of the waking state. The mind can never create that experience. But just by ...
Real meditation always happens effortlessly. You just slide into it. You can try to manipulate the conditions prior to that experience, that spontaneous meditation, but the preparation does not actually create it. It happens when the mind ...
So what does it mean to inhabit the measureless? What is that? It's to become that. How do you become that? Through grace. Through the grace of a living master. Through the grace of a living teacher who has spontaneously and through grace, come ...
And you know awakening is never universal. Awakening is always individualized. There is this myth that every awakened being will have the same world views, will perform action in the same way, will have the same political views, etc., as though ...
I would like to even call into question, as radical as this might sound, the notion that you can even be certain that you are realized. Which is not to say that your non-certainty becomes the basis for suspecting that you are realized. You can’t ...
Participant: So, what’s the difference between realization and temporary state of going beyond mind? David: Knowing that you are realized, knowing it, not just realizing it but knowing that you know. Knowing that you know. In other words, the ...
