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.

Now the energy’s getting very high. Are you aware of this? Good. You feel this happening? It’s just happening. That quietness is a cauldron of energy highly active. People think of quietness as the opposite of active, right? There's activity and ...
David: We need to prep your understanding, so that it carries the knowledge I am That, not I am not That, not I am not worthy of That, but I am That already; not to be taken casually or flippantly into your consciousness, not to take that I am That...

Participant: So, it's relatively easy to be in this space and feel the Energy -- but how to be in the world and still feel like you're in the Energy? David: We take steps very slowly here, just one step at a time. By the time this Energy...
I always try to remember that if a discourse or monologue is to be really ecstatic, it must be projected from a place of no-message, no-concept, no-theme. The very urge to speak is eradicated; it's not present. That way, the mind can float in ...
