The August 7 gathering was a very special night ! It seemed like all flavors of David's darshan were present in a wonderful display of harmonious grace ! Several of the people had powerful experiences of "Divine Light", Shakti, Devotion. We all laughed when one student said, "it felt like he was on a "shakticoaster"! I felt light from above , below, sideways. Actually I was engulfed in a pervasive loving light that was filled with energetic love. There was a living organic quality to it.
I got an image that this darshan was like when people feel different parts of an elephant, and then describe it. One minute there is sublime love, the next a pyrotechnic light show beyond description; filled with an effusive energy. Only poetry would suit such an experience. I know David so wants that for all of his students and humanity at large !
When David spoke of surrender there was a direct experience of that; It seemed to melt any apprehension of past experiences where people had emotive heartbreak, and disappointment. David explained, "surrender wasn't about surrendering to him." It was more of a real leap into the divine and provides the real spiritual sustenance we all have been craving. His words were permeated with shakti wisdom, and conveyed a loving energy right down to the cellular level. There didn't seem to be any intellectual discourse, but rather a beautiful communion in energetic love !
