Eating Oreos - David Ault
How often does your spiritual journey feel similar to eating Oreos while attempting to brush your teeth? Something has to give.
Our craving and grasping of self will only perpetuate a form of suffering no matter how much time is invested in all things spiritual. Something must be disrupted for liberation to occur.

Nothing Real Can Be Threatened - David Ault
Переглядів 149День тому
The Course in Miracles tells us, "Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God." I believe that many on a spiritual path would positively acknowledge an agreement at such a teaching until.......something within our own relative reality feels threatened. This is where we tend to get caught with things held only within arms length, only considered conceptual...
From Noun To Verb - David Ault

From Noun To Verb Systems of suffering - what are they and how do I free myself from clinging to them? One simple way is observing our false ownership of the sixth senses....my sight, my thoughts, my hearing, my...... Switch the noun to a verb and you'll begin to experience (s)elf as the Universe (S)elf - experiencing sight, sound, taste, hearing, smelling and thinking through you.
Fix The Broken Window - David Ault

Everything in human form is impermanent. And, yet, we are called to be involved in the world of form throughout our entire existence. Perhaps the greatest lesson offered us is in mastering the paradox of giving even when we know it will not last, in loving even though we know there will be loss, and creating, even in if such artistry is momentary.

Whether you can or cannot conceive of yourself to be eternal and all-pervading doesn't erase anything from the ultimate truth that you are. So is every living thing. Your one role is continuously diving deep into the search of your true nature and reacquaint yourself to the vast ocean of life.

5 HINDRANCES - 5 GIFTS - David Ault
Переглядів 4852 місяці тому
The Buddha taught that these 5 were what must be transcended to obtain enlightenment. They were not things you or I acquire but attributes of mind that are baked in and substantiated as real through the surroundings of a dualistic illusional world. For an incarnated human to transcend them requires recognition of them as falsehoods and a complete expulsion of them through spiritual practice.
Evolution As Mothering - David Ault

Evolution resembles conscious mothering. Allowing us to experience what is needed and then exhausted in order to accompany us to our next state of being. This unlimited journey is filled with the steadfast grace of mothering. Do the best you can till you know better. Then when you know better, do better. - Maya Angelou

What Weighs Heavy On Your Heart? - David Ault

Pema Chödrön wrote, "When we encounter pain in our life we breathe into our heart with the recognition that others also feel this. When life is pleasant, think of others. When life is a burden, think of others." Are we able to recognize the tangible softening and dissolving of heaviness others are experiencing through our deliberate practices of prayer, tonglen, stillness and welcoming into all...

CONGRUENCY When we reflect on how it is we wish to feel, then we can begin to notice our behaviors that are contradictory. How inflamed must the contradictions become before we choose to practice a personal practice of congruency?

    And sometimes our role is simply to accept. I wonder if the old cliché of with age comes wisdom plays a part in this acceptance...🤔 Of course, the pros and cons of such a statement are obvious. Nonetheless, at my 'senior' age my operative word is acceptance because in the end it all works out as it should. That understanding and acceptance provides me a peaceful mind. David, you are a wonderful teacher. For newbies your words, your lessons, provide great clarity. For those of us who have been on this journey for most of our lives you abundantly provide affirmation. I have said this before and while you may tire of reading it, I will never tire of writing it, you are a blessing, David Ault!!!💙

    David, thanks for sharing. I,m a first time viewer of your channel. My name is the same as your name, has a C in the middle. As I listened to you I found myself finishing your sentences with the same thought before you spoke it. Also noticed we wear the same frames. The Universe must have wanted me to hear your message. Message received as logical truth. I too practice containing observed thoughts and lately that has been very difficult due to circumstances beyond my control. Thanks for the reminder. Peace Love and Happiness to you from Pa.

    This was such an amazing video for me. 35 years ago I had an encounter with Ram Das where I perceived that he hurt my feelings. I have carried that throughout the years and every time I hear about Ram Das, I get snarky thoughts. For me the way to resolve, my stinking thinking, is the four questions and the turnaround of Byron Katie. I stopped your video in the middle, and answered the questions for myself. “If he were really spiritual, he wouldn’t have said/done that.” I came up with the fact that it happened for me- not against me. And that it was my ego Masquerading as spirituality. Thank you, David you are the best! I get so much from everything you share.❤❤❤❤❤
