My ego has selfishly been chasing enlightenment for years now, after experiencing moments of serenity. I’ve been chasing my tail, not realizing that all I have to do is surrender.
I am also in this path, i think that all we have to do its meditation, remove the thoughts, and we will realize the true self, if we meditate for hours and hours we will get there. I am doing vipassana 10 days retreat, every 2 months.
the idea that it’s something you have to strive for is the only obstacle. Surrender is a good word for it. I let the tension out of my body, and spread my awareness as far as I can. It’s like fuel for being huma
I hit rock bottom and bounced into a state of authenticity basically by accident that lead to this peak experience that lasted months, my life changed a bit, I got healthy, clean living n thinking, no games or media, lots of nature on the weekends, mediation and eventually things I wanted, things I'd visualised and wrote down, started appearing in my life, new job, car, friends, money, synchronisitys and the craziest thing was when a very specific visualisation I had while meditating in the forest, manifested monts later with me in my new car, with my new friend, feeling exactly what I felt that day in the forest, it was like the single most intense and confusing dejavu I've ever had... then it all came crashing down, I stumbled off the path and landed in some bushes, I can see it, I just need to start climbing.
This is one of your best talks yet, maybe the best. Very clear and metaphors helpful. You are a real artist. Wonderful to watch your growth. Thank you.
I read his first book which featured practices from Douglas Harding and it definitely shifted something in this experience. This talk finished the job. Thank you David.
You sound pretty certain about that and although I understand what you mean, there are a lot of absolute horrors in this dream that I personally have not been grateful for and no one is immune from horror. War, genocides, rapists, murders, pedophile, sexually trafficked children and adults, starvation, disease. It’s a big list.
@@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496 You're right, human minds call those horrors, you'd have to be out of your mind to enjoy all that is life and receive all things with thankfulness.
Why did he say that personality and awareness is the same thing? It is not as awareness is real and personality is unreal as it is a form appearing in awareness … 🧐

Enlightenment is achieved automatically by copious amounts, I mean mountains of merit.
Or so I've read.

No process. Just receive all things with thankfulness. THAT'S ALL.

So what your saying is at all times I am totally free .
Yes. Precisely. But not being free looks a lot like being free but not being aware of it.
Do I need a teacher to practice Dzogchen/Bon?

The form appearing in awareness is awareness in form. Emptiness is form and form is emptiness. (Heart Sutra).
@@ZenPsych Thank you so much David for your response 🙏🏼 How can we realize/experience/understand that form is emptiness or awareness? Thank you
@@InesAzaiez Practice paying attention to awareness as "I am", and noticing what arises in this clearing that you are.
