Its just easy to offer who you are in the moment. It’s very easy to begin that way, no matter what is offered. No matter what the offering is it can be made beautiful because you are consciously cooperating with who you are and no matter what that beginning place is; it could even be a discussion of ignorance and obfuscation, conflict, pain, attachment. It doesn’t matter.
But that you come forward from within that and begin a loving movement of reaching out, right? Or just offering, or just self-revealing. That is enough to begin to stimulate these higher capacities of the spiritual process to teach you; to give you what you need, to really blow you away in massive recognition, not just some small thing. Just get bigger. Let it get bigger and bigger.
I’m so high with you now. I’m so happy. I’m really glad to be here with you. You make it all worth while. Because of you. Because of how you approach. Because I know you really care about this. I’m feeling that tremendously.
David:It's all I'm talking about is myself, hopefully yourself. Hopefully, you don't see me as any kind of an authority with power. Power in what I say or power in what I claim. Hopefully, you don't go there. I stay out of that arena. It's ...
And it's very important to understand the word spontaneous, to understand, to know, to feel what goes on here, when we're together. It's all about consciousness. It's about awakening into, feeling into, breathing into, consciousness and ...
Because of the subtle nature of darshan and spiritual transmission you might not always recognize that it’s happening. It may just fall on you silently. Yet later on, at a time perhaps, when you are not suspecting, the presence of that ...
Moderator: A viewer in Bangkok has a couple of questions. “The more we find this place, the more unfolding, the faster we evolve into the one.” David: I’m hesitant to say faster. Faster is an idea projected by the relative mind that is feeling a ...
It’s from the view point of deep meditative expansion that you can say, I am everything or everything is consciousness. It’s something that supersedes the ability of the waking state. The mind can never create that experience. But just by ...
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, ...
