(Prior unity as the already-given basis for collective rightening)
Prior unity is the light of that sacred fire, the guiding source for all rightening in the future. Such rightening is (necessarily) based on humankind existing as a totality—all at once. All forms of “difference” have now effectively been cancelled by the fact that everybody has come into the same room.
Everyone is play-acting this collection of characteristics of “self”-imagery, this objectified persona that each one tends to identify with. When someone says “I”, that persona is who they mean. However, if everyone is part of humankind first, that universal context becomes the basis for examining everything, and it cools all “self”-imagery discourse.
The world-culture of humankind as a whole needs to become re-oriented now—away from its “meditation” on the downward spiral into darkness and the myths of “end-time”, and profoundly toward the disposition that would transcend all limitations.
(Vibratory participation and the sacred domain of ecstasy)
Vibratory Participation There is a human necessity for a kind of resonation of vibratory participation in Reality (Itself, and altogether), and Truth (Itself, and altogether), and Beauty (or the Beautiful, Itself, and altogether)— beyond conventional “yes” and “no”, beyond conventional “beauty” and conventional “ugliness”, beyond conventional “realism”, and beyond egoity altogether. Such human profundity is a great and necessary purpose, which true culture and right civilization should and must serve.
Everything in the sacred domain is about ecstasy. Everything in the social (or secular) domain is about control of ecstasy and using the principal human faculties (of body, emotion, mind, and breath) for other (generally, non-ecstatic—or ego-based) business in the moment. The basic taboos of the secular social domain are against sex (or bodily pleasure altogether), laughter (or genuine humor, and mental freedom), and Real-God-Realization (or Ecstatic Identification with the Divine Reality).
Sex, laughter, and Real-God-Realization have their place in the sacred domain, at the center of life. The secular (or public) dimension of human existence should be economized, kept in its proper place, not allowed to take over the entirety of your life. There must be a sacred core of life, a culture at that core. And everything that has to do with ecstasy should be in that sphere, not in the secular (or public) sphere.
Giving people the means and the opportunity to be focused in the sacred domain is very basic to the creation of truly cooperative human community.
(Everybody-all-at-once: collective responsibility for the world-situation)
If human beings collectively (as everybody-all-at-once) realize that they are (always already) in a condition of prior unity—and, therefore, of necessary co-existence and mutuality—with one another, and if, on that basis, they stand firm together, then they will be in a position to directly righten the world-situation. The collective of all the billions of people can—and, indeed, must—refuse to go on with the current chaos.
Therefore, the egoless everybody-all-at-once must open their eyes, see for real, relinquish their helplessness, and take direct responsibility for the human world-event. The egoless everybody-all-at-once must renounce its illusions and “come out of the closet” as the only “we” of planet Earth.
It will not be the role-playing of “virtuous speaking” that brings about the necessary fundamental change. Calling everybody to change does not cause them to change. Those who are already moved to do right do not need to be told to do so—and, no matter how much advice and admonition they are given, those who are not inclined to do right are not going to “change their act”. If there is going to be fundamental all-rightening change, something has to require change. Therefore, the world as a whole must be enabled to require change. It is an acausal matter—not a causal matter.
Whenever human awareness is subordinated to the inherently egoless (and, thus, non-separate and non-separative) root-context of existence, human life becomes morally enlightened (in both voice and action) by the radiant virtue of selflessness. Therefore, if everybody-all-at-once is represented and mobilized by morally-enlightened principles and persons, Reality Itself has re-acquired the voice and ability to make right changes.
It is only the presumption of egoity (or the illusion of inherent separateness) that makes the billions of humankind enact separation from one another—and, thus and thereby, they refuse to enact mutual tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and universal cooperation with one another.
(The Global Cooperative Forum as instrument of prior unity)
The People and The Corporations Must Re-Civilize The World
How should humankind deal with the world-situation? By enacting the principle of prior unity. And an instrument is required in order to do that. That instrument is the Global Cooperative Forum. The Global Cooperative Forum must make obsolete all play-of-opposition in the world, all nation-state conflicts, all effort to size up great units of nation-states over against other such units, in the attempt to achieve victory over one another—one religion over another religion, one nation-state (or group of nation-states) over another nation-state (or group of nation-states), and so forth. All of this effort to defeat the presumed opponent is insanity. Humankind cannot afford to go on with this. Humankind must stop this.
That is the profundity at the root of such activism—the intensive presumption of non-separateness, of prior unity, of no opponent, of no self-division. That is the only right and effective strategy. It is not a goal-seeking strategy. It is a matter of enacting a prior reality, rather than seeking a different reality. Such is the unique understanding that is the root of all true wisdom.
(Adi Da’s recognition, hermitage, and transmission)
Swami Muktananda made an open public declaration that Adi Da, by virtue of his evident spiritual signs and demonstrated states, was inherently qualified to teach others independently, and to awaken others spiritually by direct transmission.
Having fully given his teaching, Adi Da lived independently on his island hermitage in Fiji, constantly working to express the Truth of existence through modes of communication to which all human beings can respond—including literary, theatrical, artistic, and philosophical works.
(Acausal action: enacting a prior reality rather than seeking a new one)
acausal—Neither caused nor causing; therefore, existing beyond (or prior to) the realm of duality in which the law of “cause and effect” is operative.
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 “works toward” or struggles to establish unity.
