Ok, so now we are in a different phase of the teaching. I hope you’re with me. We’ve passed over the place where lions and tigers could eat us. They’re gone. We’re home free now. Rattlesnakes and cobras, they’re history now. Now we’re in the open, now nothing can touch us. Now everything I said previously, it’s defunct. It’s deleted. Just hit the delete button – gone.
Now it’s ok to say it. That is. That alone is; no viewer of it, no one seeing it. If you think there is a seer you have to persist with that illusion until it disappears. You may say, “Oh yeah, I can feel it”. No not yet. Let that die too, so that there’s just That. Even “I am That” is an obfuscation. That is That. That’s it. I mean what is this I that is That? You know that’s a lie. “I am That,” but what about everything else? Who cares about you? Who cares what you’re seeing? So, That is That, cuts though everything forever. It’s just That.
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 ...
We don't know how to approach something without motive. We don't know how to do that because we’re trained to always be seeking for result, always be seeking for something that’s quantifiable, something discernible, something you can put your ...
David: Feels good just to cut doesn’t it? Does that feel good? When you realize that I don’t have to go on? My discourse isn’t built upon saying things in a causative sequence. I just talk. I could either be a lazy thinker, or who knows what. ...
We can only go downhill from here. There’s nothing that can clarify or elucidate or give more meaning… to existence, than meditation. So we’re about to take a descent into language. Descent doesn’t mean “bad;” it just means that we’re flowing ...
Even though attention appears to be bound, it can and does still carry the total force of Liberated Consciousness - because its root is in There. It's rooted completely in that Unmanifest Being. The nature of that transformation from bound ...
And each time we come here, it's just like this. We start off anew. We start off with innocence, a kind of freshness in spirit that allows us to wander freely in our own awareness, in our own consciousness. The key word is wander. You don't have ...
