The right understanding is that you are in this unborn reality all the time, and I’m inviting you to recognize it with both precision and depth to such an extent that you can declare, “I am that.” But, there must be grace and gracefulness in your recognition, appreciation and detachment so you don’t get caught in the machinations of the mind as you’re realizing and therefore let that disturb your natural process of awakening.
Stay intent on what’s happening or unfolding in you now, and begin to notice that innocently, not because I’m telling you to. I’m nobody. I have nothing. I’m just this mouthpiece up here. I’m a hologram, but a hologram that can be very useful to you even though I’m appearing here along with your body-mind. Our body-minds are all together in this room, all holograms. We’re getting to that core which is non-holographic, simple Being, simple Consciousness.
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 ...
David: In a sense my teaching is always flawed. Why do I keep teaching? Why do I keep coming out? Because I never can hit the target completely. Because we are all the same arrow and until there is this universalized perception among all of us, ...
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: How is everyone, ok? Good? Participant: Good. David: Everyone had a good supper? Did you all eat? No, some people didn’t eat? Do you feel Compassion here? That actually Compassion is functioning? Not my compassion, just Compassion. I’m ...
David: I can’t speak for anyone else who is in the spiritual field but I can speak for myself in this context. I can’t imagine sharing That outside of love. It just doesn’t have any meaning outside of love and devotion. I can never teach ...
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, ...
