Andrew Hewson and I discussed devotion this month. We opened with a definition of devotion, as distinct from belief. Devotion as a surrender, a non-doing allowing that sprouts naturally. (My opening statements were a little too black and white & based on my experience alone. I adjusted as we progressed.) Topics included: Breaking open the heart, before and after awakening. Personal and impersonal. The importance of healing in this process. The progressive opening to the Divine. Cautions. The awakening of faith. Suffering and happiness. Follow the bliss. Teacher relationship issues. Taking shelter. Support of the sages. Non-dual devotion. Devotional relationship. on YouTube Transcript Prior conversations with Andrew Davidya Last Updated on October 8, 2023 by Davidya

Dr. Jack Purcell, a philosophy professor at Middle Tennessee State University, invited me to speak to his eastern philosophy class. I’m introduced by his son, Rishi. I offer a little history and a broad overview of the Vedic perspective, mention a few prominent teachers (*sage Vasishtha is before Vyasa), and the importance of applied philosophy so we can live it. About 20 minutes in, I spoke a bit about my process, then answered questions. On YouTube Transcript Davidya Last Updated on October 4, 2023 by Davidya

Andrew and I have been having a series of conversations on the stages of enlightenment. Our prior discussion was on Self Realization and GC. In this conversation, we explore Unity stage and it’s related refinement. Andrew outlines an alternative sequence that can arise if the refinement (feminine) process is dominant, as discussed in the prior conversation. If you’re not familiar with the stages, please review the above links first. on YouTube Transcript A few related links: The “world as illusion” barrier to Unity The Stages of Unity Prior conversations with Andrew Update: it’s worth noting a distinction between: a) a strong God Consciousness (GC) process with refinement and heart opening followed by Unity where masculine and feminine aspects of consciousness are recognized as one. This is the more typical sequence, lead by consciousness/ masculine that I talk of. and b) a GC process evolving into Refined Unity with a taste of Brahman, followed by the Divine Union of Unity (m & f again) that Andrew describes in the conversation. This path is dominated by devotion and refinement, the feminine. A glorified version of the first is not the same as the second. Same underlying process but the sequence is a bit different due to the emphasis. Last Updated on September 29, 2023 by Davidya
