Jim's Story

How Did You Meet David?:

Looking back on my first meeting with David, I would have to say that I was probably quite impatient with the whole spiritual circus, which despite all the pointers toward the Now, seemed to subtly encourage the promise of a brighter spiritual future, which, in my case, was always followed by eventual disappointment. I was tired of having literally travelled the world seeking out the brightest stars in the spiritual sky, spending time with them in ecstatic states, and later crashing back down into jim-ness with a loud THUD.

I don't recall what David talked about that first time I met him. It wouldn't have mattered. For the listening that really happened was on a whole different level. While the words were simple, direct and penetrating, my attention gradually shifted to that of ACUTE ATTENTION. It was as if attention itself was drawing itself into a stillpoint, and, in doing so, releasing all types of deeply pleasant experiences... peace, stillness, currents of energy, and a distinct but almost-intoxicating inner fragrance. I was also amazed to find that I could actually dialogue with David in depth in real-time about the nature of these experiences, and he would answer each question with rapt personal attention and amazing insight.

After the program, after having listened to my reasons for my underlying spiritual angst, David simply looked at me and said "Let me do it, then. I'll do your sadhana for you."

How has meeting David, attending his events or coming into contact with his teachings, impacted your life?:

First, I need to point out that as the circumstances of my life continue to change; I am not always thrilled with all of these changes! However, even in the midst of unbidden change (read "chaos"), I am increasingly aware that there is another level of reality. Sometimes even as I am staring at a computer screen which is informing me in great detail about the latest financial or social disaster, I am often involuntarily pulled into an energy which I associate with David. These involuntary meditations happen quite often. They happen with eyes open, while fully alert in fully functional states such as driving a car, reading, working or watching TV.

Sometimes, I have only to turn my attention inside and I feel that same intensely pleasurable experience that I first had meditating with David. Sometimes, that energy is strongly palpable when I wake up. Other times, i.e. if I am angry or fearful, it is not immediately discernable. Generally, though, I can tune into the "David Frequency" and it puts me in a much more positive place from which to deal with the realities of life.

As I become more and more familiar with the "David Frequency" I also gradually discover that the seemingly "external frequency" was there all along. David is a tuning fork which entices me to find that space, an atunement process which in some ways seems both intensely personal, and, paradoxically, totally impersonal at the same time.

Suffice to say that I feel like I have found access to something quite precious, something for which I am extremely grateful.
