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.

But the Bliss of yourself is so full of the nectar that you’re seeking. All it needs to do is rise in sufficient intensity so that it begins to drown the part of you that goes on functioning in separation. That separate part will begin to sip ...
When I come here, and I come here again and again, this location and others, I’ve noticed an indefatigable energy that’s present. It’s not me. It’s not my energy. It comes with me. I find it awakening into me, through me, into everything. It’s ...
By simply feeling this current of eternal Bliss that is manifesting right now, it will enlighten you. It has that potentiality. I’m not promising it. I’m just saying that it has that full potentiality within it that’s safe. And what it will do ...
Meditation is a great mystery. It's a profound and unfathomable topic. The subject of meditation is the nature of the Self. The object of meditation is also the nature of the Self – and -- it is also that which unites the subject and the object. ...
