You can feel how beautiful it is now in here. It’s such a beautiful, exquisite feeling. It’s absolutely astounding. It’s like a sweet thing, so sweet you can’t even taste it. But I don’t say that that’s in me. I won’t even say “I am that”. I would say, “Everything is That”. The room is that. I’m not tempted to say “I am that” or that “I’ve realized that.” Realization to me becomes a cheap word at this point. I don’t know, I say it’s just the heart, the heart of everything. Not here, not there, not even realized, not even understood. So I don’t have a problem with it when it so calls “disappears.” I let my static bhavas come over me. I share them lovingly with my friends. I love to touch people in this way, bring them in, and hold them. Share this delicious wonderful understanding, experience, exhilaration, whatever this is. And just enjoy it for the sake of enjoyment, knowing that we don’t ultimately even know what that is.
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 ...
David: Yeah. Participant: David, I have a question. David: Oh good, I'm so happy. Participant: Um, I have read about "I Am That" from Vedas and J. Krishamurti and UG and Nisargadatta Maharaj. David: No not UG, UG would never say that. ...
You know, you can't think your way into the Divine. You can't get there through strategy. Strategy is inherently dishonest. You can't make a deal with the Divine to become it. The whole idea is: all deals are off. All deals are off and what you ...
David: I'd like to see you have something. I'd like to see something really go off in you whereby, you know, you are really taken by your own divine self, that has no dilemma in it and that is very clearly understood and realized, in just a ...
David: You may go through many amazing experiences in the meantime. You may go through repeated openings of a most magnificent kind - you know, the things you read about in the lives of saints and sages; oneness opening up and timelessness, ...
If you are lucky you’ll begin to realize you are always living in That. Always, not sometimes. You’ll get rid of this idea of always and sometimes and then what’s left over is always. Always does not mean sometimes extended in time; lots of ...
Ok, so now we are in a different phase of the teaching. I hope you're with me. We've passed over the place where lions and tigers could eat us. They're gone. We're home free now. Rattlesnakes and cobras, they're history now. Now we're in the ...
Is everybody comfortable? Pretty comfortable, bodily relaxed? No distraction, no strong thoughts, just nice clear relaxation? Your mind is not gripping you anymore. Where's your mind? Where's that knot that haunts you all day? That thing that ...
But more like a mobius strip made of flesh, you know, we want to feel good inside that area. Its not enough just to be in the shape of a mobius strip, but we are feelingly involved in existence. We feelingly and consciously want to know what ...
Its just easy to offer who you are in the moment. It's very easy to begin that way, no matter what is offered. No matter what the offering is it can be made beautiful because you are consciously cooperating with who you are and no matter what ...
David: Good, very good. It's easy. Participant: I don't even have to talk. David: It's easy. Participant: This is funny, I mean, the value of this is not even placed on talking. David: So intimate. Are you in this intimacy? So intimate, ...
