Beyond the Place of Laughter and Tears in the Land of Devotion Book

$15.00

Beyond the Place of Laughter and Tears in the Land of Devotion is a compilation of David's poetry, essays, aphorisms and discourses. It is also a confession of his ecstatic spiritual realization and a potent vehicle of his living transmission.

In the Introduction to David's book, the Reverend Thomas Ahlburn writes: ". . . I think David's views are as brilliantly insightful as any that one is likely to encounter among living spiritual writers, including those of Ram Dass, Andrew Harvey, Ken Wilber, Bernadette Roberts, and the great spiritual genius Adi Da Samraj."

David's book will be sent to you in sincere appreciation for your donation in support of his teaching.

Quotes

"To study the Teacher is to study your own Self. There's no greater truth than one's own Self. There's nothing higher than one's own Self. There's nothing other than one's Self."

Receiving Darshan By jasalerno 4 days 18 hours ago Receiving darshan from an enlightened master is an entrainment with his life rhythm. If you are not in sync with him, then being in his presence will cause you gradually to fall into synchronism with his energy. This is the beauty of a living master, and as David says, your attention on him, listening to his words, observing his countenance, feeling his energy, surrendering into innocence in... Read More	its refreshing By ryan 6 days 14 hours ago I've been reading thru some of Davids writing. If only I had found this information earlier. But oh well as I cant complain about my journey. I believe there is nothing, or anything that cant be learned from. I feel as though a rocket took off and I had no idea where it was headed. As a passenger looking out the window nothing looked like what I heard it was like. The ship sailed thru an... Read More
Heartlight By mildmercy 1 week 5 days ago We are HEART, Shining the Light, so why do we go out in the world looking for "heart"? 'Appearance' is an outpouring of Hell not "divine love" or "bliss", how can human limitation reflect the immensity of Source? Only a separate ego-self would be so arrogant! The Absolute needs no miniscule reflection , It just Is, not needing a Second, (two's-a-crowd), otherwise we are 'walking... Read More	Transcendent Glory By jasalerno 2 weeks 6 days ago Imploding in your transcendent glory, in your love joy, oh Devine Mother. Dying, melting, dying melting, consumed, transfigured, lost in your very essence. Take all of me. Take my life and live it! I've been noticing that when the Devine Mother consumes with her love light, the mind naturally bows in peace and surrender. Fully surrender and open your heart. The mind will follow and sink into...

Just looking! By Trish Kenrose 3 weeks 5 days ago I've had my experiences with teachers. The last one was such an intense experience of deconstruction and so uncomfortable it turned me off "gurus" altogether. One time I was chatting with my friend, Nick, who told me about David. I went onto Youtube (just for a little look-see) and a video entitled "Forgiving the Teacher" caught my eye. David has helped me to understand my experience with my... Read More	The Sun of the Self By jasalerno 4 weeks 5 days ago I'm just sharing a stream of consciousness moment here. I feel like I'm back in New Hampshire lying in the sand at Hampton Beach, the son baking my body after an exhilarating dip in the frosty cold of the Atlantic Ocean, toes numb, but you stay in anyway. Only in this moment, a different kind of baking, the baking in the Son of the Self, in the love joy, hugging the little bush outside my... Read More
SELF-LOVE By mildmercy 5 weeks 1 day ago Inspired by video clip:"Love Is Beautiful" Love is Awareness not distancing Itself from form, but Uniting and Accepting, Celebrating 'otherness' as Itself; not censoring the 'separate self' as some kind of nuisance or unseemly virus with 'unholy' characteristics, resulting in a 'raw feeling' of impersonal rejection which is actually 'Self-Rejection'. Though if this is what Source wants to... Read More	GALLANTLY STREAMING! By mildmercy 6 weeks 2 days ago INCREDIBLE TO BE AN OBJECT OF CONSCIOUSNESS WAVING IN THE BREEZE OF FORM, LIKE THE AMERICAN FLAG ON AN EVER SO GENTLE WINDY DAY, ALL FORM IS EQUALLY MAJESTIC IN IT'S EXPRESSION OF SOMETHING DIVINE. THAT SUBTLE SHIFTING OF CONSCIOUSNESS FROM A LESSENING OF THE SEPARATE-SEEMING DREAM CHARACTER'S STORY TO THE APPERCEPTION THAT IS PRIOR TO THE OUTPOURING, YET INCLUDES NOTHING AND EVERYTHING AS...

Surrender By jasalerno 8 weeks 1 day ago Surrender Surrender to God or Self has to be total. It has to include all aspects of life. You can surrender to a personal God or a teacher, but eventually it leads to that inherent trust, that inherent innocence, the innocence of a child. A child doesn’t trust just his parents. He trusts everyone until he’s taught not to trust. Don’t take candy from a stranger. Just take life as it comes....

Really nice with 4 kids...In the eagerness to do a "good" job, I forgot to be still and centered, and did run around to keep things organized...and the 3 and 5 year old became like frogs, jumping all over the place. Then I realized to be still, and immediately things went smoothly. It is very normal, to feel responsible, and have this inner intention,... Read More
