Healing the Wound of Separation, September 9, 2011
Is everybody comfortable? Pretty comfortable, bodily relaxed? No distraction, no strong thoughts, just nice clear relaxation? Your mind is not gripping you anymore. Where’s your mind? Where’s that knot that haunts you all day? That thing that keeps on telling you you’re you? Where is that?
It’s like putting ice on a fever; the transmission of Bliss here is like putting ice on the fever of your individuality, on the laceration of your separation. It’s disinfecting that wound. Notice how incredible this balm of healing is on this thing we call the separatized self, the separate mental self. How there’s just Samadhi here, just Samadhi.
Everybody’s ok? Everybody’s fine? I know I disturb your meditation when I ask you that. Very good. Where are you? You’re going away on us. Very good. That’s what I’m talking about. You see how that will dissolve your entire sense of solidity; it will just drink you up. It will be just pure Being.
David: Samadhi is reality itself. It's not merely a personal state of Consciousness. It cannot be reduced to a trance state or some kind of fixed absorption in Consciousness. Certainly, that describes one aspect of samadhi having to do with ...

Moderator: Ohio viewer, “I walked by a group of Christians worshipping on campus and praising God, and I was moved to tears and my heart opened. It’s like my pain dissolved into love, but after leaving I went back to my previous state. David: ...
Self Realization is an empty state. It contains nothing within It. That state, actually, comes about as the mind dissolves into the Absolute. When that dissolution is final, then Self Realization is permanent. The mind, however, does continue to ...
Enlightenment is not a subjective experience. It's not a particular subjective experience and it is not an experience that is ongoing in your subjectivity. Enlightenment is the waking up of Consciousness Itself, the disintegration of the ...
Enlightenment must be to your satisfaction. No Guru, no Master, no Enlightened Being can tell you when your process has consummated. It's simply a question of quenching all of your spiritual thirsts and only you can truly know when that happens. ...
Attendee: That seems to be a difficult one for most people that I know. It's like a very difficult one, especially “certain teachers,” who shall remain “nameless” — you know, who have committed actual criminal acts and still seem to have ...
And so each person has a great journey to travel. A journey which will not be replicated in anyone else. So when you become enlightened, it's not he Buddha becoming enlightened again, it's not Krishna remembering his divinity again, it's a whole ...
David: Really, these frequencies of Transmission belong to nobody. They don't live in any individual being. So to take ownership of them and say that they are “mine” is incorrect. If you’ve heard me say something that's sounds like that, then ...
Even when we sit here, in this intimate, small group, we can become aware of two things: one is the deep, witness-based Silence of Total Meditation; the other is the profound Current or Energy that runs through that Silence. In the ancient ...
