Moderator: From a participant in Seattle, Washington, “There is a powerful expression of love today. My heart is wide open and receiving. I love this time together!”
David: Everyone should be happy now. The nature of the universe is expressing itself, it is radiating itself. That radiation is bliss. It’s ‘sat,’ which is being, it’s ‘chit,’ which is awareness or consciousness, and it’s ‘ananda’— it’s bliss. Those three words are used in the Vedic tradition because they actually literally describe what the universe is made of in every aspect, in every particle — not just somewhere in the transcendental realm but right on the surface. Yet to experience it on the surface you must Self-realize, you must realize who you are. Otherwise you’ll just have small pleasures, small happinesses, tiny enjoyments. If you get to the source of your identity then you go supernova, you explode in the intensity of creation itself and there you become that, you become sat-chit-ananda. Namaste.
If you are lucky you’ll begin to realize you are always living in That. Always, not sometimes. You’ll get rid of this idea of always and sometimes and then what’s left over is always. Always does not mean sometimes extended in time; lots of ...
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 ...
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 ...
David: Yes Participant: How can you talk about non-dual and light? David: [Laughs] Why? It was for someone else, not for you. Participant: Why is there light? David: Why is there light? Participant: Yeah. David: What light are you referring to? ...
But more like a mobius strip made of flesh, you know, we want to feel good inside that area. Its not enough just to be in the shape of a mobius strip, but we are feelingly involved in existence. We feelingly and consciously want to know what ...
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 ...
David: Good, very good. It's easy. Participant: I don't even have to talk. David: It's easy. Participant: This is funny, I mean, the value of this is not even placed on talking. David: So intimate. Are you in this intimacy? So intimate, ...
You can feel how beautiful it is now in here. It’s such a beautiful, exquisite feeling. It’s absolutely astounding. It’s like a sweet thing, so sweet you can’t even taste it. But I don’t say that that’s in me. I won’t even say “I am that”. I ...
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 ...
David: The silence therefore is like a womb from which the bliss arises. It’s not supposed to begin and end in itself. Otherwise there’s just a sense of having ended everything. There’s nothing affirmative about that. In other words, that might ...
Moderator: From a viewer in Arcata, California, “David you are beyond amazing. ‘Thank you’ seems so hollow, but THANK YOU (in large letters). David: If you are filled with this and you say “thank you” but that hollowness is there then that ...
David: Devotion, like the power of Shakti, like the poignancy of Silence - of Silent Being - has a raw and powerful quality about it. When the restrictions around the Heart melt and the Feeling-Nature is resurrected inside of that Transcendental ...
