When we are talking about enlightenment we are talking about a fundamental shift within attention. It’s a form of non-attention within attention that is causing all the problems with regards to whether you know consciousness or not. The easiest way to snap out of that problem is to first of all feel the wave of consciousness strike you. Enjoy the wave of Bliss that happens in and around the Self, the Absolute Being. In that first wave the possibility for flooding enters, that is being flooded or overcome with that same Bliss.
When that saturation of deep flooding occurs there’s then a development within attention that restructures the point of view of the perceiver, whereby the perceiver is not resting any longer in a state of duality. The foundation of perception becomes restructured. That’s what awakening is. That’s what happens in awakening so that you come to see from a different place, not see a different thing but see from a different place. So, just the mere abiding in Bliss will itself structure that permanent and ongoing realization of the Self.
You’ll be shocked to see what it is. It can be quite dramatic to in the initial stages live in that newfound perspective, which is not a perspective it’s the truth. That’s what makes it so shocking is that it’s not the development out of some other sequence of understanding. It is a penetration right into the root of understanding itself. It’s very powerful, and because it’s so powerful you can’t really miss it. It’s not an event that can possibly be missed.
Moderator: From Seattle, "If ones entire nervous system is alive with the movement of divine energy and this radiates to others, is that sahaja samadhi or can this happen prior to sahaja samadhi?" David: Yes it can happen prior, most definitely. ...
When I say that sahaja samadhi encapsulates all the lower samadhis, and dissolves them into a new state, I don't mean that those samadhis go away. They are still all fully functionally present. Self-realization is present in sahaja samadhi. ...
Participant: I'll try to say something, I don't know if I can though. I guess, uh...I just, um...I just feel such a profound love in the room. That's all I can really say. David: We don't need words. So beautifully said and yet we don't need ...
You keep your heart open in love. Don't go away from love. Don't figure this out with your head. Just open your heart in it. It’s so much easier. I know people who just want to go through the mind all the time. Oh god. It’s like applying sand ...
David: Yes, please. Participant: It’s about positive affirmation. What's the limit to how powerful positive affirmation is? David: It’s as unlimited as your consciousness is. If you consciousness is small then what you affirm will be small. If ...
A group of enlightened beings is very precious, a gathering of human beings who are awakened. The reason is that, solitarily one enlightened person will just exist in that ocean of quietness. But when you put a group together, it starts to stir ...
What is referred to as the ego, or the ego consciousness, or the small self, is simply a momentum that builds up within the subjective consciousness and begins to have a feeling of solidity about it. The dissolution of that stream of ongoing ...
Participant: You ready for another question? David: I'm ready. Participant: Uh, all right. Ah, some people experience Kundalini and are awakening, and are thrown into infinite Bliss. And other people experience Kundalini awakening and they are ...
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 ...
We no longer have any need, any fixation for an external deity, an external god. We realize that these are just props created by the mind to once again hold itself into a field of subservience and domination. We have no interest in any of that. ...
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 ...
