David:It’s all I’m talking about is myself, hopefully yourself. Hopefully, you don’t see me as any kind of an authority with power. Power in what I say or power in what I claim. Hopefully, you don’t go there. I stay out of that arena. It’s aversive to me to think of That as being related to some form of power or domination. I can’t imagine it. In fact, we become powerless here. We move into a sphere where there is no other. That’s a state of Absolute Weakness. People don’t like words like this because they’re generated from an area where there is no sense of separation and therefore no ability to control. So, people get frightened when they can’t control. So, if I’m saying you become Absolutely Weak, they may think I’m talking about some devastatingly negative condition. I am not. I’m talking about something that upholds the innocence of your Being, which has no power over anything else, no power over anyone else. Does that make sense?
I get intoxicated when I speak this way because I’m talking about an essential nature of Being itself. I’m talking about Consciousness itself. I’m not talking about an object. It’s the most beautiful thing you could ever do, is to come into this feeling where your mind has been severed from its tendency to exteriorize, it’s tendency to create a sense of other or otherness, and to actually feel its own inner workings, and beyond those workings or underneath those workings, to the primal consciousness of Being itself.
For one who knows the Self, Being has presenced. It has come into presencing or self-presencing and engages in self-revelation. Not revelation to another. Not to the experience of a someone but from within its own nature It begins to shine. That ...
Participant: But as, over the last few months as my apprehension of Consciousness has deepened, I’m beginning to see what’s really going on, which is something quite different from what people tell us. What’s going on is that there is a place ...
I rely on the native power within Being, and not any kind of yoga that I’ve mastered, any kind of spiritual approach, any kind of teaching. It’s not because I don’t value approaches or I look down upon them. They’re just not appropriate for what ...
David: The most important thing is that you experience something, that something in you begins to enlarge and you begin to sense your own global self, not your little limited body-mind that does things around the house ; it shops vegetables and ...
Participant: David, what I noticed when I very first met you a number of years ago, is that I saw you as a certain person or a certain being, and then I would go away and I’d come back and you’d be totally different. And then gradually I saw ...
You’re all equal to me. Everyone’s equal. It’s just your approach. Whatever your approach is.... I don’t favor anyone, but I’m just as much on you completely, individually, as I am on her. I’m "on you." Even if I’m looking here a lot and I don’t ...
Moderator: A viewer in Australia comments, "I thought I knew what the body-mind is; now I realize it's as much of an unknown as the Absolute." David: Correct. It is the Absolute. It is the Absolute. It can be nothing else. All the understandings ...
See how nice, everybody is nice good boys and girls now. You know how little kids become fascinated with a toy. That’s how I feel all of you are. The toy is you, your own being and you are all like this [looking at an invisible object his hand.] ...
Participant: I have this experience over last few days, every time I feel like I’m going deeper and deeper, there is a resistance that rises and blocks it. It deviates completely. So it just doesn’t allow me to experience. David: Find out what ...
That knot of separation is a core of fear. It’s a kind of revulsion toward everything. A sense of not being at peace, of not feeling relaxed beyond your knowing process, relaxed beyond action. Right? Weird things start to happen when you get ...
You’ll find that the enlightened form does become beautiful, not through exclusory separation though, not through some kind of agenda that it thinks it’s great. It’s at this point when you begin to detect that the energy of the universe is in ...
David: There is a beautiful Shakti in the room. Does everybody know what the Shakti is? It's for people who are not satisfied to realize the Divine. The Shakti is for those who want to feel the Divine. Do you see that distinction? You can know ...
