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.
Participant: David, even if my life might not seem spiritual, is it okay to approach this compassion in my own way? David: Of course, that's the only way to approach it; in your own way. Instead of defining spiritual as some lofty ideal, you ...
Moderator: From Israel, "This gathering is magical. I'm floating in the Unknown." David: Wonderful. These types of experiences reflect the highest form of human enjoyment. This is an enjoyment which supersedes the subject-object relation-based ...
Enlightenment, really, is to be lived. It’s not a philosophy. It’s not something that you can adopt theoretically in your life. It’s something that is discovered through deep meditation, the cultivation of a profound aloneness, over many years, ...
So when people talk about a personal God, they are actually talking about a human body-mind. This might be hard to follow, but I'll try to explain it. In an absence of real understanding, real wisdom, real intuition and real Transcendent ...
When you come here, no matter where you are on your spiritual path, I will begin to work with you. Whether you are at the beginning, in the middle, near the end -- even at the end. There are many things to be shown, even after full awakening -- ...
The reason why we meditate is just to hear the noise and to observe how it dissipates, without any internal motion. We don't have a pure self in back of it all that wipes things away and fixes our mind and makes us clean. Every mind within is a ...
For someone who is immersed unconditionally in the Paramatman-Consciousness, that is dissolved in It completely and forever, this Being might manifest or generate various Transmissions, that might even seem to be incompatible, such as Energy and ...
Sahaja samadhi is a Self-Sustaining Condition. It does not need to be tended. It does not need to be even realized -- or re-realized. It’s eternally Self-Realizing -- and it has no locale. It’s not about the “Inner Self.” It has nothing to do ...
All the faith that you harness will be through your own experience. The deep faith and trust and perseverance you show in continuing to come here, entering into this Relationship -- all that is based on your own Self-recognition. It’s the ...
Participant: I have a question. David: Okay. Participant: … Something that changes: I'm noticing the light in my eyes seems different. I don't think I have cataracts and it’s, um, just my vision changed about a year and a half ago, in terms of ...
Participant: Even though the personality persists, would you say that there's a space of recognition between Essence and personality? So you can just see it, you know, and it keeps popping up at you, the more familiar you get with its ...
