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: 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 ...
You see, once your path to Consciousness has opened sufficiently, then Consciousness will conclude your process. You don't need to worry. There’s only so much opening you need to do. Once you cross that threshold, then it's just a question of a ...
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, ...
You know, it's all about just being able to bear this Bliss of Being and Consciousness. To live in that unbearable-ness of Being - to just live in It, to just allow yourself to get to the point where you'll be able to live in It and allow It to ...
If you dig deep enough into the mind, you will strike on its Source, just as when you dig into the ground you get beyond the superficial soil, you get beyond the rocks, you get beyond the various layers of earth. At some point you hit water. ...
