Full Episode
The infinite is present in every finite experience. Once you realize that, then God is not difficult to find. God is impossible to avoid. Only direct experience can give you access to reality. Not religion, not philosophy, not science. Number one, let go of every concept and every perception as a window to reality. Number two, embrace presence. What remains is pure consciousness.
That's who you are. Our technological evolution has outpaced our emotional and spiritual evolution. Therefore, we are in a dangerous phase. We have medieval minds and modern capacities. On the other hand, you can reverse climate change. You can get rid of war, chronic disease. The choice is ours. So this whole thing is a lucid dream in a vivid now. And it's ungraspable. Wake up to who is dreaming.
And that which is dreaming never left home.
Deepak, you have been and been called a spiritual teacher, a guide, a healer, a scientist. You've blended ontology and cosmology. You've really been a bridge for East and West in so many ways. If I were to ask you in this day and age right now, with no labels, no titles, who are you most fundamentally? How would you answer that question?
I am nothing conceivable or perceivable. And so are you. Nothing perceivable or conceivable. If you want to expand on that, you are awareness. Or consciousness, I use the word synonymously. So consciousness has no form. You can't see it, right? Because it's what it's seeing. And because it has no form, it has no border. Anything that has form has a border.
But consciousness has no form, so it has no border. Because it has no border, it's infinite. It's spaceless, it's timeless, it's irreducible. It is incomprehensible, but without it, there's no comprehension. You can't conceive it, you can't imagine it, you can't perceive it, but without it, there's no conception or perception or imagination. So who am I?
I am the inconceivable and the imperceivable that makes all perception and all conception possible. Which leads to another big, actually amazing idea, which is that anything that's perceivable or conceivable, anything that you can see, touch, taste, smell, think about, imagine, conceptualize, is not real. So whatever you look around here is not real, including your body.
I do think how form is informed by the formless. Yes. And in many ways, the path of self-realization is called that because it's awakening to something that already is, as opposed to acquisition of something which we in the Western mind is more familiar with.
Yeah, you never left it.
