I first attended David’s sessions about 14 months ago.
Personal stuff is male, over 60years and retired.
I seek Truth wherever I can find it which is hard to find because of my culture as a disenfranchised American. i.e. - I’m worth less than a million dollars.
I want to share with you a recent experience which sums up my connection to David’
Last Friday, May 8th I attended the 7:30 PM presentation in Palm Springs.
Now my experience with bliss has been limited and I really did not understand what people were talking about with extended experiences with a blissful condition. It had taken me several months with David to reach any kind of bliss in meditation but I knew meditation was the key.
My blissfulness was always short lived and soon ended just past David’s front door.
I felt bliss of a different intensity Friday and was aware that it was staying with me.
I had a busy Saturday planned with another participant of David’s sessions and we met about noon with a schedule of hooking up with a local meditation group and pot lucking it to the mountains to visit the ‘green man’.
Now, I understand that these were ideal and different circumstances i.e.: being with spiritual people, being in nature (the mountains) and meeting with an interesting character who lives totally self sufficient in a tee pee at the base of a mountain.
Normally, for me, it would have been nice, but no big deal, right.
Wrong, I felt an intensity of the bliss within me growing exponentially ALL DAY LONG.
When it came time for me to leave for home I was very emotional.
I cried the 40+ miles back home. Tears of pure joy.
Tears were starting to dry up and I picked up David’s book ‘Beyond the place of laughter and tears’ and read a passage on Divine Mother.
I started sobbing uncontrollably for some time. Tears of absolute bliss and sadness at the same time. I slept the most peaceful 5 hours in years.
I awoke Sunday very aware that the bliss was still with me. I was thrilled. I exercised and decided to go back to the mountains by going up a route I have never taken, in my 5 years in the Valley, toward San Diego.
I stopped for water and rest. Closed my eyes and could see wave after wave of bliss and love wash over me. I realized at this time that waves of sadness were also present. So I could see that sadness, bliss and love were washing over me endlessly, all at the same moment. Filling up does not apply here. It was endless, Primal, ever present.
I realized that this is constantly washing over me and that I need only tune into this constant vibration which will be with me always. This is who I really am. This is who we really are.
There are no word or deed that could express my gratitude to David for this journey.
