Whenever you take something strain is involved; as in reaching for something and taking it and pulling toward you. That same principal applies to meditation. If your individuality meditates, their will be a resistance, a strain, or a friction within it — then it’s distasteful. But when meditation is a happening, when it is received as a gift, or as a spontaneous flowering, then no distaste can attach to that.
So meditation, in the sense of reception, or receptivity is a gift. When you have this full appreciation that you flower in meditation, spontaneously, as opposed to produce meditation, effort-fully, then you are beginning to relax in to the sahaja or the naturalness of 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 ...
David: One of the things I thought I’d mention today, which occurred to me as I was driving here, that the only real strength in the mind, when we talk about the mind’s strength, having a strong mind, is in its absorption in Being. That’s its ...

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 ...
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 ...
