David: Ultimately these realizations come to you on your own terms; they have to make sense to you. You can’t lift the definition out of a book, even it’s a good book, even if comes out of an illumined tradition. If you lift a piece of knowledge from Ramana Maharshi or Nisargadatta, or one of the many other great teachers there are, many of whom are not even in that lineage, you can still be superimposing something on your experience and therefore not using it correctly.

So when you get a deep sense of humor about this process, in this great depth of dissolution and death and dying into it, and you also retain humor and relaxation and ease and you don’t get involved with this or that, you are home free. You are ...

Moderator: David, a participant in Augusta, Georgia, “Do tantric principles like the union or integration of Shiva and Shakti principles, dimensions play any role in your transmission and teaching?” David: Shiva and Shakti — those words, what ...
David: To me, sahaja samadhi and Transmission are the same thing. One of the pristine moments of realization in spiritual life is the dawning of sahaja samadhi when the body begins to emit a Current, a Current that is born of being both ...
Moderator: From a participant in Slovenia, “David, what is the quickest way to Self-realization or experiencing Shakti? Almost everybody experiences something, as I read your website.” David: What experience do you have? I suggest that you are ...
As you may have heard me say on other occasions, that both knowledge and experience of Consciousness are necessary for enlightenment. It’s also wise to add that the underlying assumption about reality is one of non-necessity. Here, non-necessity ...
Moderator: A participant in Quebec asks, “How can I deepen my identification with consciousness?” David: Just watch it happen. Just let yourself stay idle and free, and be receptive to the spiritual current and the radiant atmosphere that will ...
