You need three kinds of faith to progress on this Path. You need faith in your Self; if you you’re going to be with me as a Teacher, you need faith in the Teacher; that the Teacher is real; and the third thing you need faith in is Life, Life Itself; the very nature of Life that gives birth to the Wisdom-Mind. That this thing that we are searching for — Wisdom, Knowledge, Truth — is something that’s going to be revealed from within the very power of Life, not from somewhere else. So if you have that triadic unity: faith in your Self, faith in the Teacher, faith in Life — then you have everything. Then it’s easy to just melt into Consciousness.
The Universe has Its own pace: It's very slow and lightning fast at the same time. So in the end it doesn't matter whether you do a little or you do a lot. Running fast, you won't be able to overtake It. The hottest fire won't burn It -- It's ...
Moderator: As soon as you spoke about bhakti and Krishna, it was like a tidal wave of Shakti hit the Shore of Being. David: Lovely. Beautiful. Krishna means the "all-charming one." None of us can resist Him, even if we try. Even if we think ...
Built within the very fabric of Being, is Compassion. Compassion is not an emotion or a feeling, but an actual quality of Being Itself. The precondition for tasting that level of Compassion is to dive into Being -- to open up into the silence of ...
David: We've entered a very high level of ascension, of Spiritual Magnification. We're in a very different frequency now than when we began; only because, through our mutual attentions, we've summoned It, we've asked It to appear. And so there ...
Moderator: Can you explain how do I open up to the fullness of my Being? David: Just take this “step by step” with me. Your attention is, what I consider to be, a doorway into this Beauty, into this Immensity. So the way you travel is through ...
Moderator: I have felt an Energetic Fullness when watching your videos. I feel radiant. What do I do now? How do I use this in my everyday life? David: It does not need to be put to use. Let this become fully absorbed into your Being, this ...
Participant: David, even if my life might not seem spiritual, is it okay to approach this compassion in my own way? David: Of course, that's the only way to approach it; in your own way. Instead of defining spiritual as some lofty ideal, you ...
Moderator: From Israel, "This gathering is magical. I'm floating in the Unknown." David: Wonderful. These types of experiences reflect the highest form of human enjoyment. This is an enjoyment which supersedes the subject-object relation-based ...
Enlightenment, really, is to be lived. It’s not a philosophy. It’s not something that you can adopt theoretically in your life. It’s something that is discovered through deep meditation, the cultivation of a profound aloneness, over many years, ...
So when people talk about a personal God, they are actually talking about a human body-mind. This might be hard to follow, but I'll try to explain it. In an absence of real understanding, real wisdom, real intuition and real Transcendent ...
When you come here, no matter where you are on your spiritual path, I will begin to work with you. Whether you are at the beginning, in the middle, near the end -- even at the end. There are many things to be shown, even after full awakening -- ...
