Human beings must accept, with humility, that their rightful position (and that of every one) in the naturally indivisible world-family of Earthkind (including humankind) is not the “ego-place” of prior dis-unity (and, thus, of separateness, separativeness, domination, and control), but the “heart-place” of prior unity (and, thus, of ego-transcending cooperation and tolerance)….
Adi Da is saying that a clear awareness of the truth of prior unity enables intelligent collective action—action that starts from the working principle that prior unity is already so, rather than action that simply “works toward”, or struggles to establish, unity. In other words, he is saying that the “real” or “realistic” politics of our time must come from understanding, and acting in accordance with, how things really are.
3.27There is a Universal Conscious Force That Is Indivisible, egoless, Acausal, and Absolute. And everything is arising as an apparent modification of That.
The fiction of separateness—and the denial of the universal characteristic of prior unity—is a mind-based illusion, a lie, a terribly deluding force, and a profoundly and darkly negative act. Therefore, it is necessary for there always to be a universal (and truly sacred) human context and process of right cultural education—such that all human beings are actively and constantly reminded of (and, indeed, constantly and actively adapted to) The Universal Reality-Principle, Which Is Self-Evident as the intrinsic prior unity of one and all and All in the conditionally arising pattern of world-experience.
IV. The Intrinsic Power To Righten World-Conditions
Human difficulty is inherent in conditional Nature itself, during life and after death. There is no Absolute “Other”-Power Causing things to happen. Countless beings and forces (visible and invisible) are causing things to happen. This is a cause-and-effect cosmos. The pattern of cosmos is (itself) the totality of all causes and effects. There is no single “anything” in charge. Every “thing” is in charge. Every “one”—or every space-time-“located” (and, thus, apparently separate) “point of view”—is in charge, as both cause and effect, moment to moment in space-time.
Therefore, I Call you (and every one, and all) to a life that is constantly emerging at the “zero-point” (intrinsically prior to all patterns of cause-and-effect), and (thus, and thereby) to a life that is always already Perfectly being Transformed—not by an illusory “One Cause” or an imagined “Deity” that is presumed to be “in charge” of everything, but by the Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, Indivisible, Acausal, and Intrinsically egoless Conscious Light That Is the Transcendental Spiritual and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State of everyone and everything. If every one (each and all) would Realize and Actualize Intrinsic, Absolute, and “zero-point” (or system-root) Unity with the Intrinsically egoless Conscious Light That Is Reality Itself, world-conditions would positively and inevitably change—by virtue of the acausally transformative intrinsic force of the pattern-root of all energies, actively represented by all those who are thus surrendered to Intrinsically egoless Prior (or Intrinsic) “zero-point” Unity with the Transcendental Spiritual and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself. Indeed, the Realization of egoless “zero-point” Indivisibility—at the root of every otherwise ego-bound human being and as the thereby self-evident prior unity of all-and-All—is the necessary pre-condition for the emergence of a global cooperative order of humankind. Therefore, the Global Cooperative Forum will emerge only when everybody-all-at-once understands and accepts it as a necessity and (thereupon) demands that it be thus and so and now.
V. Always Be What and all That Is Not-“self”
As a result of all of this ego-based strategizing (in both the personal and the collective domains of life), human beings are caught in a constant “self”-made struggle—always characterized by a fundamental disability, which is the fundamental inability to actively identify with What and all that the egoic “self”-identity identifies (and actively differentiates and “objectifies”) as not-“self”.
Reality Itself—or That Which Is (Itself) Divine—Is Transcendentally Spiritually, Universally, Uniformly, Perfectly egolessly, and In-Everywhere-of-space and In-every-mode-and-instant-of-time-and-form-and-person Simultaneously Self-Transmitted and Self-Evidently Self-Revealed As and Via the total cosmic continuum of space-time, which is The conditionally apparent Self-Evidence of Intrinsically Acausal Reality Itself As The Transcendental Spiritual Energy and The Always Prior Unity of Conscious Light.
