The Thread of your own Longing, September 10, 2010
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.] You’re all transfixed, you don’t even know it.
Don’t worry about Enlightenment. The final thing when it happens… you’re not going to be around anyway. It’s like wanting to experience your own death. You’re not going to be there, so just let it go. You won’t know when it happened or how it happened but you’ll be so happy, so relieved. You’ll just know this relief has taken over you. Something has taken over your mind that lives there now. It’s unbelievable. When you talk about It, it starts to sound really incredible. It’s pretty normal. But to someone who is not realized in It, it sounds like you hit the multimillion dollar lottery. It’s not what it is, but it sounds that way because the mind has no way to frame this in its value terms. The mind has no way to wrap around this infinite consciousness, so it gets confused. Either too elated over wondering what it thinks it is or too despondent over meditating on what has to be given up in order to get there. So just follow the thread of your own longing and you’ll just be mysteriously taken into that condition.
David: Namaste. Nature is organized and run by a single activating power. Not just a circuitry of power and channels through which power conducts and transmits, but a central agency of power that is self-implicit. In other words, the Energy does ...
Participant 1: At the start of the meditation, my heart area and my solar plexus got very warm. It was very Blissful. David: You are feeling the self-activating, naturally transmissive Bliss of the Self, the way it affects the body, in terms of ...
David: My desire is to resituate your life current into the cosmic Bliss current, to take your separate energy and reconnect it back into indistinguishable Bliss. For your sadhana will not find completion until that connection with the cosmic, ...
David: Energy or Shakti is the wave undulation that is set up at the core of nothingness as nothingness’s other nature. Action and silence never meet, yet we have to posit the reality of relativity, so we introduce the notion of energy. At the ...
David: There's great energy present, really ripping. That Shakti is here, that very potent communication of fire, energy, intensity, fullness. May you be activated by that. May you be activated in that. Where that is, the absolute is also. It ...
Moderator: The viewer further comments, “I am melting into you, into us.” David: Right, and what more can you say beyond that? And what more clarification do you need? That’s everything that dissolution into Unity. And when you refer to me ...
Self Realization is an empty state. It contains nothing within It. That state, actually, comes about as the mind dissolves into the Absolute. When that dissolution is final, then Self Realization is permanent. The mind, however, does continue to ...
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 ...
