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.
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 ...
August, 28, 2008 Devotion can't be practiced! You cannot rehearse, and then perfect it, because the very nature of devotion is the pure immediacy of instantaneous feeling. It's the Bliss of Total Feeling: saturating and then radiating, ...
The mood of meditation is the mood of sublimity itself. This sublime feeling can be described as the inner being falling into itself, the inner being bowing down to Itself, surrendering into Itself, so that for a short moment there is no other, ...
