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.

For one who knows the Self, Being has presenced. It has come into presencing or self-presencing and engages in self-revelation. Not revelation to another. Not to the experience of a someone but from within its own nature It begins to shine. That ...
Participant: But as, over the last few months as my apprehension of Consciousness has deepened, I’m beginning to see what’s really going on, which is something quite different from what people tell us. What’s going on is that there is a place ...
I rely on the native power within Being, and not any kind of yoga that I’ve mastered, any kind of spiritual approach, any kind of teaching. It’s not because I don’t value approaches or I look down upon them. They’re just not appropriate for what ...
David: The most important thing is that you experience something, that something in you begins to enlarge and you begin to sense your own global self, not your little limited body-mind that does things around the house ; it shops vegetables and ...
Participant: David, what I noticed when I very first met you a number of years ago, is that I saw you as a certain person or a certain being, and then I would go away and I’d come back and you’d be totally different. And then gradually I saw ...
You’re all equal to me. Everyone’s equal. It’s just your approach. Whatever your approach is.... I don’t favor anyone, but I’m just as much on you completely, individually, as I am on her. I’m "on you." Even if I’m looking here a lot and I don’t ...
Moderator: A viewer in Australia comments, "I thought I knew what the body-mind is; now I realize it's as much of an unknown as the Absolute." David: Correct. It is the Absolute. It is the Absolute. It can be nothing else. All the understandings ...
Participant: I have this experience over last few days, every time I feel like I’m going deeper and deeper, there is a resistance that rises and blocks it. It deviates completely. So it just doesn’t allow me to experience. David: Find out what ...
That knot of separation is a core of fear. It’s a kind of revulsion toward everything. A sense of not being at peace, of not feeling relaxed beyond your knowing process, relaxed beyond action. Right? Weird things start to happen when you get ...
