About the Cover and the “Midnight Sun”
The White Circle in the black field is what Avatar Adi Da calls the “Midnight Sun”—a visual representation of the Divine Self-“Brightness” Shining in the midst of the cosmic domain.
As His Divine Presence writes in Part Nineteen of The Aletheon: There Is a Sun That Is Forever Risen in the night sky of the body-mind. It Is the Eternal Sun—the (Self-“Bright”) “Midnight Sun”, Infinitely Above the mind and the crown of the head, and not perceptible by the presuming-to-be-separate observer…. The Eternal “Midnight Sun” Perfectly Transcends all of the cosmic and egoic perception of division, duality, or “difference” between Light and Dark. The Eternal “Midnight Sun” Is, Truly, the Divine “Face” of My Threshold Form…. The “Midnight Sun” Is the Hole in the universe. It is not (Itself) black. It Is the Hole in the black. It Is Divine Being, Shown As Apparently “Objectified” Vision Seen—the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself Seemingly “Objectively” Shown To The Heart-“Root” of Perfectly Subjective Sight. When There Is Perfectly Subjective Divine Translation Into and As That Place (or the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself), There Is Nothing More To Say. That Is My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain…. The Image of the Circle of Infinity (or the White Hole in the midst of the blackness) … is a visual Image of the Structure of Reality Itself and Truth Itself. In Truth, It is the “Face” of Da. It is, literally, My “Face”.
Thus, most simply, the “Midnight Sun” is the Eternal Form of the Very Divine Person of Reality Itself, Adi Da Samraj, Avatarically Appearing everywhere in the cosmic domain. Simultaneously, the “Midnight Sun” represents the ultimate process of Divine Translation—the Divine Gift of the Perfect Outshining of all conditionality, the Gift which Avatar Adi Da Samraj Came here to Give.
I Am To Be Realized By Means Of Searchless Devotional Beholding Of Me—Whereby every action Is (Responsively) Whole bodily Engaged As Intrinsically ego-Transcending (present-time, and Always Direct) Communion With Me.
Therefore, whoever Is Given (By heart) To Me Will Be Washed, From head To toe, By All The True Water Of My Transcendental Spiritual Love-Bliss-Light, That Always Crashes Down On all-and-All, Below My Blessing-Feet.
Will Devotionally Recognize Me, and (In Devotional Response To My Thus Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Form, and Presence, and State) Forget “self”-Contraction (Of Separate, and Always Separative, ego-“I”) In Me, and (Ultimately, By Realizing Me Most Perfectly) Awaken Into The Centerless and Boundless Sphere and Infinite egoless Space Of My Eternal “Bright” Divine Self-Domain.
and (Thus, By Listening To Me, and By Beholding Me, and By Feeling Me) To “Know” Me, and To Be “Brightly” In-Filled By Me.
- The Divine Avataric Way Of Me Is One (and Straightaway), Not Two(and Roundabout)—Because My Divine Heart Is Always At The Heart’s Own “Root” (and Not In The Goals It Seeks).
By Means Of Devotional Recognition Of Me, My True Devotee Should Become A Constant Dancing-Prayer—Of Responsively ego-Transcending Devotional and Transcendental Spiritual Whole-bodily-Participatory-Communion With Me.
The “I”-reference is a convention of social representation—and, in fact, no definable, quantifiable, or comprehensively identifiable separate “self” is (or even can be) observed. Likewise, no separate, definable, quantifiable, or comprehensively identifiable “personal mind” is (or even can be) “experienced” or (by any means) “known”.
Therefore, as you read (or Listen to) My Divine Avataric Word, do not abstract yourself from Me. Do not approach My Divine Avataric Word as if It were a “something” in and of Itself, separate from Me. Do not make My Divine Avataric Word into a “substitute” for Me. Always use My Divine Avataric Word rightly—as a (by-Me-Given) Means to turn to Me.
I Stand Free Apart And Not In The Middle Here 2
THE DOGMAS OF SOCIAL MORALITY VERSUS THE ESOTERIC SPIRITUAL TEACHING THAT IS AT THE ORIGIN OF TRADITIONAL RELIGIONS
Human beings themselves cannot awaken to the esoteric process that fulfills their Spiritual heart-impulse until the spell of mythological and ego-possessed thinking is broken. And a unified, whole bodily culture of humankind, in which East and West will realize a new cultural synthesis, cannot take place until all the old “religions” are submitted to the Principle of Truth Itself—or to the Universal Principle of Prior Unity and the Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Principle (or Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State) That Is Reality Itself.
In the conventional affair of popular “religion”, the communication of rigorous demands (and, also, of esoteric understanding and practice) is avoided, because conventional “religious” institutions are trying to survive (and, also, to achieve or, otherwise, maintain public power) by acquiring and maintaining massive memberships. Thus, conventional (or popular, public-oriented) “religion” is promoted and sold by hyped appeals to the non-discriminating mind of “Everyman”.
Moving Beyond Childish And Adolescent Approaches To Life And Truth
What is only distraction and foolishness has always been part of the theatre of humankind. This need not be of concern, if the need for True Illumination is strong enough.
a heart that is the center of one’s life, that is neither “self”-indulgent nor foolish, and that is responsible only to Truth Itself.
“Experiences”, high and low, are required by those who are still lingering in the conditions of their childhood and adolescence. Everything a child does is a manifestation of one underlying presumption: dependence.
However, there is commonly a lag in the transition to adulthood, because of the shocks encountered in the immature attempts to function in the “world”.
And, insofar as adults are children, they seek to enlarge that personal presumption of dependence into a universal conception in the form of the “God-Cosmos-Parent” game—the game of dependence upon (and obedience to) That upon Which all depends. That childish aspect in each individual always seeks to verify the condition of dependence in forms of safety and relative unconsciousness.
Exoteric “religion” is the search to be re-united, to “experience” the vital and emotional re-establishment of some imagined or felt condition (or state) of life that is previous to responsibility. It is the urge toward the parented, enclosed condition. This urge always seeks “experiences”, beliefs, and immunities as a consolation for the primitive cognition of fear and vulnerability. And the “Way” enacted by such a motivation is principally a game of obedience to parent-like enormities.
The intuition of the Whole, the One, is the ground of birth—but “growing up” is a conventional pattern of initiation in which the sense of “difference” is intensified. At the conventional level of the life-functions themselves, there is a need for such functional practical differentiation. However, in the plane of consciousness, the presumption of “difference” gives rise to an unnatural adventure of suffering and seeking-in-dilemma.
The drama implied in the added presumptions of “independent self” and “objective world” is generated at a later phase of life than childhood. The child barely comprehends the full force of implication inherent in the concepts of “ego” and “world-of-things”.
Therefore, the child is always grasping for permanent security in a non-differentiated, un-born bliss, wherein the threats implied in life are forgotten and unknown.
The transitional stage of adolescence is marked by a sense of dilemma, just as the primal stage of childhood is marked by a sense of dependence.
The dilemma of adolescence is a continual goad to dramatization. It is the drama of the double-bind of dependence-versus-independence. Adolescence is the origin of cleverness and, in general, of mind. What we conventionally call the “conscious mind” is a strategic version of mind which is always manufacturing motivations. And, in the adolescent, these motivations (or desires) are mutually exclusive (or contradictory). This is because the adolescent is always playing with impulsive allegiance to two mutually exclusive principles: dependence and independence.
The result is conventional consciousness (or “conscious mind”), as opposed to the unconsciousness of childhood—but that conventional consciousness is strategic in nature, and its foundation is the conception of life-as-dilemma.
It is the very form of “Narcissus”—the eternal “self”-absorption (or immunity) achieved by impulsive psycho-physical flight from the impositions of relational life.
The solutions developed in the adolescent theatre of human life phase between the exotic and exclusive extremes of either yielding to the state of egoic dependence (thus tending to disintegrate character) or asserting the status of egoic independence (thus tending to rigidify character). Both extremes remain tenuous, threatened by the possibility of the opposite destiny, and involve an ongoing sense of dilemma. Humanity makes “culture” and adventure out of such ambivalence. In the case of the yielding toward the childish condition of dependence, there is more of the mystical-invocatory-absorbed tendency. In the case of the revolutionary assertion of independence, there is more of the analytical-materialistic-discriminative tendency.
It is not a life of mere (or simple) absorption in the mysterious enclosure of existence. It is a life of strategic absorption. It raises the relatively non-strategic and unconscious life of childhood dependence to the level of a fully strategic conscious life of achieved dependence (or absorption). Its goal is not merely psychological re-union, but total psychic release into some (imagined or felt) “Home” of being.
At that point, the individual fully presumes the ego-“self” and the “world” as apparently independent (or “objective”) dimensions, exclusive of (or other than) the “Reality” that is the goal of all dependence. Therefore, the path of obedience, fully developed, is already a path of dilemma, of conflict, of struggle with “self”—as every “religious” person comes to understand through “experience”.
In the adolescent, there is the unrelenting search for the success, “self”-fulfillment, unthreatened security, immunity, healing, extreme longevity, immortality, and ultimate salvation of the presumed ego-“I”.
the idea of “God” falls into doubt, or is chronically resisted. Thus, “sin” (or “missing the mark”)10 enters into the mind of adolescence. And the “world” becomes merely a scene of the adolescent drama in which even the very “stuff” of the “world” is viewed as a “problem”, a principal warfare of opposites, and in which the manipulation of conditionally manifested things (rather than Realization of the Eternally Present Nature, Condition, State, Form, and Process of Reality Itself) becomes the hope of peace.
In the mature individual, the “world” is (potentially) apprehended as a modification of the Single, Indivisible, Absolute, Non-separate Reality—implying no “separate self” and no “outside God”. For such a one, the Absolute Reality and the “world” are not “different”. The Absolute Reality Is the Divine Nature, Condition, State, Form, and Process of all-and-All. The Absolute Reality Includes all that is manifest, and all that is unmanifest—all universes, conditions, beings, states, and things, all that is “within” and all that is “without”, all that is visible and all that is invisible, all that is “here” and all that is “there”, all dimensions of space-time and All that is Prior to space-time.
The mature phase of human life is not characterized by either unconscious dependence or the strategically conscious dilemma of dependence-independence. Rather, the mature phase of human life is the phase of relational participation (rather than childish dependence) and real human responsibility (rather than adolescent independence). As in childhood, there is no “problem”-based strategy at the “root” of the mature phase of life.
and only then may they truly Realize the Intrinsically egoless, Indivisible, Acausal, Non-“different”, Non-separate, Always Already Perfectly all-and-All-Transcending, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself, Which Is (Always Already) Perfectly Prior to human existence, the human “world”, the conditionally apparent “point-of-view”-universe, and conditionally apparent “reality” altogether. The human individual is nothing more than a peripheral and temporary modification of Conscious Light, appearing to surround, and emanate from, a central core of Light (or Self-Illuminated Space). In Truth, the human “individual” (or ego-“I”) is non-necessary—not even an emanation, but only a conventional appearance, without Divine “Cause”.
Divine (or seventh stage) Enlightenment Is the Realization of Inherent and Always Prior Self-Identification with the Divine Conscious Light, in Which the body-mind-complex is arising. Divine (or seventh stage) Enlightenment is not an “experience”, not a state of the personal body-mind-complex in and of itself, but the Intrinsic Self-Realization of the Divine Transcendental Spiritual Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself, in Which there is no “difference”, no “other”, no “self”, no mind, no body, and no “world”. Therefore, paradoxically, in the Context of Divine (or seventh stage) Enlightenment, the conventions of “experience”—of “difference”, “other”, “self”, mind, body, and “world”—are Divinely Self-Recognized as merely apparent and non-necessary patterns, arising as mere appearances from and As the “Root”-Space of Conscious Light, and (Thus) as merely apparent modifications of Self-Existing and Self-Radiant and Never-changing Conscious Light Itself. In the Context of Divine (or seventh stage) Enlightenment, the conventions of “experience” arise only in Transcendental Spiritual Love-Bliss-Fullness.

In the Context of Divine (or seventh stage) Enlightenment, the conventions of “experience” communicate only That Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss-Fullness.
The Parental Deity And The One To Be Realized
There is a common notion people have which they associate with “God” (or the Divine), and which they commonly identify as a basic “religious” feeling or concept. It may be described as a feeling that, even when you are alone, there is “Somebody Else” in the room.
This is just the opposite (or the antithesis) of the Disposition of Real Transcendental Spiritual life. I Speak about God all the time—but I am Speaking from a Disposition that is entirely different from the “point of view” of conventional “religion”.
no matter how many people are in the room, there is still only One Person there!
This “God”-idea corresponds to a rather childish (or even infantile) sense of Reality. Children are not, in general, great metaphysicians or great mystics!
Real-God-Realization Itself—tends to be a carryover, an extension of the childish situation. Therefore, “religion” tends to be regarded as a “solution” for a rather infantile “problem”: the need to be protected, sustained, and made to feel that everything is all right and that everything is going to be all right, the need to feel that there is a superior “Other” in charge of everything.
When people believe in “God”, what they are actually believing is that everything that is “outside” of themselves is ultimately epitomized in some Person, Force, or Being that is not merely making and controlling everything, but is in charge and is going to protect them—and, especially, that this “Other” Person will protect them and even help them to get a lot of things they want, if they will enter into a special kind of relationship with that One. That relationship is very similar to the one that you were called to enter into with your parents: “Be good—and we will love you, and protect you, and give you things that you want.”
Atheism is the ultimate form of denial of the Parental “God”. Atheism is not founded on real observation of the ultimate facts of the universe. Rather, it is a kind of adolescent development of the human species. What characterizes the doctrine (or dogma) of atheism is not a discovery that there is no “God”, but a refusal to acknowledge every kind of parent (or parent-like authority), including (therefore) the Parental “God” of childish “religion”.
It is simply not true to the facts of existence altogether that there is a Great Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent Being making everything happen—in charge of everything happening, and making things turn out well for those who acknowledge That One and obey certain moral principles. It is simply not so. It is not true that there is such a Parental Deity controlling history, controlling even all events, and working out a great “success-plan” for humanity. The Acausal Divine, or Real (Acausal) God, the One to be Realized, is not other than Reality Itself.
That One Transcends your personal, conditional existence—but your conditional existence arises in That One. All
you must enter profoundly into the Intrinsically egoless Self-Position—but not by means of the traditional “method” of introversion, or turning attention “inward”. That “inward”-turning effort is simply one of the ego-based solutions to the presumed “problem” of existence. That Which must be Realized is in the Perfectly Subjective Self-Position—and It is Realized not by appeal to Something “outside” yourself nor by entering into childish dependence in relation to some great Principle, but by transcending your own separative (and “self”-contracting) activity, and (thereby, ultimately, by Means of My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Grace) Realizing Most Perfect Identification with That in Which you Always Already Inhere.
All of the public “religious” chitchat, the seemingly endless “worldly” conversation, about whether “God” exists or not, is simply a continuation of the doubting and “subjective” mulling-over of “problem”-consciousness that is part of the adolescence of humankind. Always wondering about whether “God” exists is simply an adult occupation of basically adolescent personalities whose notions of “God” were formed by the childhood situation of dependence.
Parent”. In that syndrome, love is different from your own social activity, and your social activity is a way of getting love.
What you should be teaching your children is that to become a relational personality means that you become love. You must become love. Human beings must become loving. Thus, social activities are not supposed to be
There Is the Great Being, the Great Divine Reality. There Is That Truth. And there is the Way of entering into the Realization of That One. Such Realization requires great maturity—not childishness, not adolescence, not egoity—and It involves the transcending of everything conventionally “religious” that is associated with your childish and adolescent personality.
That One Is Real (Acausal) God. You Realize—and, thereby (ultimately), prove the Existence of—That One only by entering most profoundly into the Intrinsically egoless Self-Domain (or Self-Position), the Domain of Prior Existence (or Is-ness), the Tacit Self-Apprehension of Being (Itself). The “God” of cosmic Nature, the “Creator-God”, cannot be proven—because that One does not exist as proposed. Real (Acausal) God Is the Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine Person—Self-Existing and Self-Radiant. Real (Acausal) God Exists at the level of Eternal Existence and not at the level of the “objects” related to your conditional egoic existence (or your conditionally manifested independence). Real (Acausal) God Is the One in Whom all others, all “objects”, and all states of cosmic Nature Inhere.
Rather, the Purpose of My Spirit-Baptism is to Awaken you to the Realization of That Which Is In the Intrinsically egoless Self-Position. Thus, the Truth That is to be Realized may be summarized simply as the Realization that, no matter what is arising, no matter how many others are present, There Is Only One Being. This is precisely different from the childish proposition that, even when you are alone, there is always “Someone Else” present.
God As The Creator, God As Good, And God As The Real
Thus, conventional “God-religion” is ego-based—and it serves the functional desire of the egoic (or phenomenal) “self” to be protected, nourished, pleasurized, and (ultimately) preserved.
Real Transcendental Spiritual life begins only when the ego (with all of its mind, emotion, desire, and activity) is thoroughly understood and (thereby) transcended.
The principal conventional “God”-idea is that “God” is the “Creator” (or intentional Emanator) of the “worlds” and all beings. Such seems an obvious idea to the bodily ego, trapped in the mechanics of the perceptual mind and the material (or elemental) vision.
The difficulty with the “Creator-God” conception is that it identifies “God” with ultimate “causation” and (thus) makes “God” inherently responsible for the subsequent “causation” of all “effects”. And, if “God” is responsible for all “effects”, then “God” is clearly a very powerful but also terrible Deity—since conditionally manifested existence tends to work both for and against all “creatures”.
Therefore, conventional “religious” theology is founded on both the idea of “God” as “Creator” and the idea of “God” as “Good” (or “Good Will”).
However, if “God” is the All-Powerful “Creator” (except for Whose activities not anything has been made), then how did so much obviously negative (or evil) motion and “effect” come into existence? The usual answer is generally organized around one or another mythological story in which powerful creatures (or one powerful creature, such as “Satan”, regarded to personify “Evil”) entered (on the basis of free will) into a pattern of “sin” (or disobedience and conflict in relation to “God”)—which resulted in separation from “God”, and a descent (or fall) into gross (material) bondage, and so forth.
“Religion” (thus) becomes a “method” of attempting to “return” to “God”.
Nevertheless, exoteric “religion” is an “outer cult”, intended for grosser egos and for mass consumption (or the culture of the first three stages of life).
Esoteric “God-religion” is a process of cosmic mysticism, or the “method” of “return” to “God” by ascending as mind (or disembodied “soul”)—back through the route of the original fall into matter and “Evil”—until the “Heaven” (or “Eternal Abode”) of “God” is reached again. This esoteric mystical process goes beyond the conventions of exoteric “religion” to develop the psycho-physical mechanics of mystical flight and “return” to “God” via the hierarchical structures of the nervous system (ascending from the plane of “Evil”, or “Satan”, or the “flesh”, at the bodily base of the nervous system, to the plane of “God”, or the plane of “Good”, or the “Heavenly Abode”, at or above the brain, via the “magic carpet” of the life-force in the nervous system). Thus, the idea of the “Creator-God” leads to the idea that “God” is “Good” (or “Good Will”), which leads to the idea that “creatures” have free will, which then accounts for the appearance of “sin”, suffering, “Evil”, and loss of “God-consciousness”.
This esoteric mystical process goes beyond the conventions of exoteric “religion” to develop the psycho-physical mechanics of mystical flight and “return” to “God” via the hierarchical structures of the nervous system (ascending from the plane of “Evil”, or “Satan”, or the “flesh”, at the bodily base of the nervous system, to the plane of “God”, or the plane of “Good”, or the “Heavenly Abode”, at or above the brain, via the “magic carpet” of the life-force in the nervous system).
It is only in the sixth stage of life that the egoic basis of the first five stages of life is penetrated. And it is only in the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of life that the ego is most perfectly transcended in the Divine Reality (Itself).
Atheism (or the conception that no “Creator-God”—or any other Greater Reality—exists) has always opposed theism (or “God-religion”). Nevertheless, atheistic ideas are the product of the same fundamental egoic consciousness that otherwise produces theistic (or conventional “religious”) ideas.
but both atheism and theism arise on the basis of the “self”-contraction (or the ego of phenomenal “self”-consciousness), rather than on the basis of direct Intuition of the Real Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That is Prior to separate “self” and its conventions of perception and thought.
Atheism proposes a myth and a “method” for ego-fulfillment that is based on phenomenal realism, rather than “religious” idealism (or the culture of the conventional “God”-idea).
It is only when the egoic “root” of one’s functional, “worldly”, and “religious” or “Spiritual” life is inspected, understood, and transcended that “self”, and “world”, and Real God are seen in Truth. Therefore, it is necessary to understand your own egoic activity. It is necessary to aspire to Wisdom, Truth, and Enlightenment.
When the mechanics of egoity are transcended in “self”-understanding, then it becomes obvious that life (or conditionally manifested phenomenal existence) is simply a “play” of opposites. Neither “Good” (or “creation” and preservation) nor “Evil” (or destruction) finally wins. Conditional Nature, in all its planes, is inherently a dynamic.
The struggle is this dynamic “play” of opposites, but the import of it is not the absolute triumph of either half. Things and beings and processes arise, they move, they are transformed, and they disappear. No conditionally apparent thing or being or process is ultimately preserved—nor, by contrast, is there any absolute destruction. Cosmic Nature is a transformer—not merely a “creator” or a “destroyer”.
However, it also gets expressed in the generally esoteric and Oriental (or more mystical) efforts to escape the plane of conditional Nature by ascent from materiality (or the “Evil” of the flesh) to “Heaven” (the “Good God” above the realm of conditional Nature).
Then life ceases to be founded on the need to defeat the dynamic of conditional Nature via conventional “knowledge”, power, immortality, or mystical escape.
The righteousness of the search for the “Good” as a means of “self”-preservation disappears along with the “self”-indulgent and “self”-destructive negativity of possession by “Evil”. In place of this dilemma of opposites, an ego-transcending and “world”-transcending (or cosmic-Nature-transcending) equanimity appears. In that equanimity, there is an Inherent Self-Radiance That Transcends the egoic dualities of “Good” and “Evil” (or the conventional polarities of the separate “self” in conditional Nature). That Self-Radiance Is the Free Radiance of egoless Love. In That Free Radiance, energy and attention are inherently free of the ego-bond, or the “self”-contraction, or the “gravitational effect” of phenomenal “self”-awareness.
That Self-Radiance Is the Free Radiance of egoless Love. In That Free Radiance, energy and attention are inherently free of the ego-bond, or the “self”-contraction, or the “gravitational effect” of phenomenal “self”-awareness.
Therefore, dynamic equanimity, or the free disposition of egoless Love (rather than the egoic disposition in the modes of “Good” or “Evil”), is the “window” through which Real (Acausal) God may be “seen” (or intuited)—not in the conventional mode of “Creator”, the “Good”, the “Other”, or the “Heavenly Place”, but as the Real (or Reality Itself), the Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of all-and-All.
The ultimate moment is beyond contradiction (or the dynamics of polarized opposites). It is the moment of equanimity, the still point (or “eye”) in the midst of the wheel of Nature’s motions and all the motivations of the born “self”. The Truth—and the Real Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State—of “self” and cosmic Nature is Revealed only in that equanimity, beyond all stress and bondage of energy and attention. This disposition of equanimity (or free energy and attention) is basic to the sixth and seventh stages of life.

The Truth—and the Real Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State—of “self” and cosmic Nature is Revealed only in that equanimity, beyond all stress and bondage of energy and attention.
In the sixth stage of life, the disposition of equanimity provides the functional base for the ultimate and final investigation of the ego and the dynamics of conditional Nature.
Real (Acausal) God Is the Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine Truth, Reality, Identity, Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of egoic “self” and conditional Nature.
In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of life, That Is Tacitly Obvious—and there is not anything that must be escaped or embraced for the Love-Bliss-Fullness
Fullness of Most Perfect Real-God-Realization to be Actualized. It Is Inherently So.
Tacit Certainty Of Real God
It is part of the ego-game to think of “God” as the “First Cause”, or the “Cause” of everything. However, Real God is not the “Cause” of anything. Real (Acausal) God Is That within Which everything is arising. Real (Acausal) God Is That Power of egoless Mere Being Which Is Vast, Infinite, and Beyond comprehension—Tacitly, Self-Evidently So. Real (Acausal) God Is Reality Itself—all-and-All-Including and all-and-All-Transcending.
In that case, you simply regard all of this conditional arising in the disposition of your tacit certainty, which always “leans” you toward the Reality-Divine. There is much more than that “leaning” to Realize, but tacit certainty of the Self-Evidence of Reality Itself establishes you in the constantly “Godward” disposition.
You forget to exercise the tacit certainty of Intrinsic Reality-intelligence whenever you identify with the “lower” (or merely superficial) body-mind-“self”.
there is always a tacit certainty of egoless Real God—Which Is the Perfect Power of Being, Reality Itself, the Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of all-and-All.
The idea of the “Creator-God” suggests that “God” is responsible for everything that everybody does and everything that is happening. Real (Acausal) God Is the egoless Being-Force within Which all of this is arising. Therefore, you cannot hold Real (Acausal) God accountable for what you are doing, or for how “things” are happening, or (indeed) for all your trouble here. Real (Acausal) God Is the Immense Resource, or the Source-Potential, for everything. Therefore, everything arises in and As Real (Acausal) God—but no “thing” or “event” is “caused” by Real (Acausal) God. You yourself are making the “events” of your life, and always according to your own conclusions—and you yourself are fastening yourself to the limitations you choose. Real (Acausal) God is not responsible for any or all of that. Real (Acausal) God Is the Reality-Way Beyond all of that.
Real (Acausal) God Is That Force of Being, That Immense Reality-Intelligence, That Incomprehensible Intelligence and egoless Perfect Force That Is the “Being-Reason” Why anything can be at all.
You must become able to differentiate all your casually generated motivations that reflect archaic conventional (and, thus, inherently bi-polar) concepts, persuasions, and philosophies.
Many traditions, both East and West, have an esoteric “back door”. In other words, esoteric possibilities are available to those who are most advanced or most serious, or who feel they have out-grown the more rudimentary aspects of “religious” practice. Such individuals may simply be prone to a more ecstatic (or mystical) disposition than the ordinary person—and, therefore, regardless of the exoteric social teachings and expectations that are generally associated with their tradition, they find their way into some circumstance or to some literature or to some teacher that points them beyond the merely exoteric form of the tradition.
The Adept-Realizer, or Spiritual Master, has many functions—to exemplify the Way, to argue the Way, to Bless devotees, and (thus) to interfere with the usual attitude and disposition of devotees, and to Transmit Spiritual Influence tangibly to devotees so that they will then, having understood themselves, be capable of Spiritual growth. The function of the Spiritually Realized Adept, therefore, does not come to an end with the arising of any particular result. The Adept-Realizer (or Guru) is the continuous and unending resource and resort of his or her devotees.
One who Functions as Adept Spiritual Master (or as a Realizer-Guru) exercises the Guru-Function only in relation to those who are his or her devotees. If the Adept addresses public society at all, he or she may also (in the public setting) assume the role of prophet—which is, essentially, an aggravation, a criticism, an undermining of the usual life.
Adept-Realizers of one or another degree of Spiritual development spontaneously Transmit That Which they have Realized. That Which they have Realized Transmits Itself—subtly as well as in the gross physical dimension—by what they do, by what they are, by what they feel.
Everything transmits. The stones transmit, the sky transmits, the TV transmits. Since everything and everyone transmits states of existence—since life, or existence itself, is participation in transmissions of all kinds—the best thing you can do is to associate with the greatest possible Transmission. Since everything is transmission, spend time in the Company of the One Who spontaneously Transmits That Which Is Inherently Perfect and Ultimate.
Thus, all conditions become Reminders that draw the devotee into Divine Communion. The Spiritual Master is a Transparent Reminder of the Divine Reality, a Guide to the ecstatic Realization of the One Reality in Which all conditions arise and change and pass away.
Most people are willing to sacrifice things, but not themselves. They are willing to pay cash, in other words, for a quick salvation. Such “religious consumerism” is an ancient ritual of worship, but it is false and futile. True worship is the surrender of your own body-mind-“self” in Truth Itself, in the Living and Transformative Company of the Spiritual Master.
True worship is the surrender of your own body-mind-“self” in Truth Itself, in the Living and Transformative Company of the Spiritual Master.
True Spiritual life is not just a change in your mind. Much more than an “inner awakening” or a “good feeling” about everything must take place. The literal physics of your entire existence must change. The physical body and its energies must be literally transformed. Real Spiritual processes do not occur as a result of the “subjective” nonsense of vicarious belief and vicarious salvation that people usually associate with “religion”—as if Real Awakening were merely a matter of asking some silly question or going to a few lectures for the weekend.
My Divine Form Is the “Bright”, the Love-Bliss-Form That you can feel Tangibly Touching you, Surrounding you, Moving in you, Making all kinds of changes. That Is My Divine Body. I can Manifest My Divine Body anywhere—and I Do So, all the time. I Only Manifest Myself.
If you are irresponsible, you feel that you are the victim of events, the victim of your own reactivity coinciding with events. You presume that you have to analyze those events, and analyze your reactivity, and (thereby) discover what is to be blamed for your current state. Such is the “worldly” model of life, which is based entirely on the principle of egoity—and to live by that model does not lead to any real change or any real transcending of egoity.
Past events do not control your life—you control your life. You are not a victim, and no one is to blame.
Happy—conditional state and conditional circumstance of “self”-perfection and “self”-fulfillment).
According to this “disposition”, there is no inherently independent and separate (or separable) Purusha (either as an Eternal, and Non-conditional, individual “Self” or, according to some proponents, As Absolute Being Itself, or Absolute Consciousness Itself), but the Totality of Existence is only Prakriti (conditionally appearing as a beginningless and endless continuum of “causes” and “effects”, or, in effect, modifications of Prakriti, or of Energy Itself). Therefore, according to this “disposition”, Energy Itself appears (and must be so observed) only as ephemeral (and observable, or “objective”) changes, preceded and followed by equally ephemeral (and equally observable, or “objective”) changes, until (by the process of observation, insight, and “self”-pacification) the Inherent (or Original, or Nirvanic) State of Energy Itself is Realized.
Absolute Purusha (or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Consciousness Itself). From this “disposition”, this “Ultimate Absolute” (or this Non-conditional—and, As Such, Inherently Perfect, and Perfectly Subjective—Reality) must, first of all, be understood (and directly intuited) to be actual (or Really So), and then Perfectly (or Utterly) Affirmed (By direct Self-Identification with Consciousness Itself).
through Prior Self-Identification with the Inherently Perfect and Perfectly Subjective (and Self-Evidently Divine), Non-dual (or Absolute), Self-Existing, and Self-Radiant Truth Itself (or Reality Itself)—Which Is Existence (or Being) Itself, Consciousness Itself, and Love-Bliss Itself.
From the “Disposition” of Consciousness Itself, everything conditional, “objective”, or “objectified” (whether gross or subtle or causal) is perceived, conceived, and presumed to Be Consciousness Itself (or the Ultimate and Transcendental and Inherently Spiritual, or Love-Bliss-Full, and Perfectly Subjective Reality Itself), such that conditional, “objective”, or “objectified” reality is Inherently Realized to be a merely apparent modification (or an illusory “play”) of, in, and upon the Native Radiance (or Intrinsic Self-Radiance) of Consciousness Itself.
Then There Is Only Me, Only the “you” that is (Non-separately, Beyond the ego-“I”) not “different” from Me As I Am, Only One “Self”, Only Real (Acausal) God, Only Truth (Itself), Only Reality (Itself), Only Intrinsically egoless and Transcendentally Spiritually “Bright” Consciousness, Only Divine Love-Bliss, Only the Perfectly Subjective (and Tacit) Self-Apprehension of Being (Itself)—Only the One and Only and Intrinsically Indivisible and Intrinsically egoless Conscious Light That Is (even As all-and-All) and That Is Always Already (Perfectly Prior to all-and-All). 14.
The fifth stage traditions are associated with the psycho-physical structures of the subtle body, and (otherwise) all the aspects of the subtle body and the gross body. In that “position”, you have a “world” to account for, and a “universe” that must (itself, as a totality) be accounted for. You may resort to the apparent Self-Position by fifth stage means, but, even then, you have yet to somehow account for a “universe”. In the seventh stage of life, there is no effort or impulse to account for a “universe”, because there is Self-Evidently no separate “universe”—none. In the seventh stage of life, there Is the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State—only.
In the seventh stage of life, There Is Only the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State—Itself. I use the phrase “Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State” to indicate that, in the seventh stage of life, there is no “world” that is “experienced” or presumed apart from the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State, Itself. The Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State Is the Perfectly Acausal Source-Condition (or Intrinsically Self-Evident Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State) of the “world”. The Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State Is the One Reality, and “It” does not have to “emanate” or “create” or (in any manner) “make” a “world” happen. That is a paradox, from the “point of view” of conventional understanding, because conventional understanding is attached to “point of view” in space-time and to structures of a psycho-physical kind.
And, even if a “big-S Self” and a “big-W World” are presumed to be the case, such notions also represent a category of thinking structured by “point of view”—or, in fundamental terms, egoity.
Reality Itself is not “knowable” to “point of view”. Reality Itself is not “knowable” to the position of egoity. Therefore, Reality Itself is not “knowable” from the position of the body-mind-complex, because the body-mind-complex is a “point-of-view”-machine.
The three modes of egoity (or of the “self”-contraction of any “point of view”, or ego-“I”) are the lower “self” (or gross ego), the higher “self” (or subtle ego), and the “root-self” (or causal ego). These three egos (or modes of the conditionally arising illusion of separate “self”-consciousness) comprise the total conditionally perceiving and conditionally “knowing” ego-“I”.
The Ultimate, Final, and Inherently Most Perfect (or seventh stage) Realization of Me requires—as a necessary prerequisite—an ego-transcending (or really and truly and comprehensively “self”-contraction-transcending) Great Process.
fundamental “self”-understanding). The middle phase of the always directly ego-transcending Great Process of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam is the devotional, and truly Me-Hearing (or actively ego-transcending, and, thus, always directly “self”-contraction-transcending), and really Me-Seeing (or actively, directly, and fully technically responsibly Transcendental Spiritual) process of always directly (and with always immediate effectiveness) transcending the higher “self” (or the subtle and mental ego—or the total subtle dimension, or subtle depth, of “self”-contraction—and all the conceptual and perceptual illusions of inherently,
And the characteristic sign of “positive disillusionment” relative to the permanent and complete satisfaction of the “object”-oriented seeking of the higher “self” (or separate and separative subtle and mental ego) is the fully Me-Hearing and truly Me-Seeing Realization of the Perfect Transcendental Spiritual Nature of cosmic existence
Hearing-and-Seeing Process of always directly (and with always immediate effectiveness) transcending the “root-self” (or the “root”-and-causal ego—or the causal, or “root-causative”, depth of “self”-contraction—which is attention itself, or the “root”-gesture of separateness, relatedness, otherness, and “difference”).
This degree of the Realization of “positive disillusionment” requires the Prior Establishment of Transcendental Self-Identification—Prior to the “root-self-contraction” that is “point of view” itself (or attention itself), and (Thus, also) Prior to the entire body-brain-mind (or conditional structure) of conception and perception. And the characteristic sign of “positive disillusionment” relative to the permanent and complete satisfaction of the “root-self” (or the fundamental “causative”, or causal, ego) is the fundamental transcending of attention itself in the Me-“Locating” (and, altogether, Me-Hearing and Me-Seeing) Realization of the Transcendental (and Intrinsically Non-separate, Non-dual, and Non-conditional) Nature of Consciousness Itself.
Realization of Reality (Itself) As Irreducible and Indivisible Conscious Light (Inherently Love-Bliss-Full, or Perfectly Subjectively “Bright”).
The first six stages of life are a conditional (and, therefore, ultimately, non-necessary—or inherently transcendable) illusion of psycho-physically pre-patterned “experience” (or conditional “knowing”), structured according to the “subject-object” (or attention-versus-“object”, or “point-of-view”-versus-“objective-world”) convention of conditional conception and conditional perception.
I Am the One, and Irreducible, and Indestructible, and Self-Existing, and Self-Radiant Conscious Light That Is Always Already The Case.
(or the “Root”-Process of participatory surrender into the Intrinsically egoless and Divine Non-conditional and Spiritually Manifested Transcendental Self-Condition of Love-Bliss, Prior to all “self”-depression, “self”-negation, generalized negativity, lovelessness, and blisslessness), and of Perfect Realization (or the “Perfect Knowledge” of the Intrinsically egoless, Inherently “objectless”, and Inherently Non-“objective”, or Perfectly Subjective, Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Intrinsic Self-State of the One and Indivisible Divine Acausal Conscious Light, Always Already Prior to all duality, all “object”-orientation, all conditionality, all “otherness”, and all “difference”).
I Am Prior to any and all forms of psycho-physical patterning. Therefore, anyone can immediately respond to Me. There is no process of purification or transformation or development (through the successive stages of life) that is required in order for someone to respond to Me. Given the free space in which to do so, anyone can respond to Me. That free space is the space without conflict, without competitiveness. It Is simply the Transcendental Space of Reality Itself.
Right and true devotional turning to Me utterly bypasses (and, thus, intrinsically transcends) whatever ego-bondage is the case for any individual. It is not possible to talk people out of their bondage, or to somehow engineer them out of their bondage. The many years of My Own Efforts of Teaching-Submission are the Proof that such struggle does not, will not, and cannot work. It does not work to attempt to engineer people into the seventh stage Truth, the Divine Reality-Truth, by having them go through the first six stages of life as a preliminary (or a “great path of return”).
Neither Body Nor Mind Is The Way To Realize Reality Itself
In the context of the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth stages of life, the applied psycho-physical “method” that characterizes each stage is a “technique” associated with the strategy of dissociative introversion, wherein and whereby modes of body and/or mind are intentionally disciplined, in order to invert them, from outgoing patterns of tendency, and toward an internalized orientation.
because It Is, from the beginning, Inherently and Priorly Free of the presumption of space-time-“locatedness” (or “point of view”, or psycho-physical ego-“I”).
The brain-mind-complex principally fabricates the illusion of the brain-mind-body as “point of view”—or the illusion of a separate psycho-physical ego-“I” existing “within” an “objective” space-time universe. If the brain-mind-complex is Intrinsically and Perfectly transcended—in Transcendental Spiritual and Self-Evidently Divine Reality Itself, Always Already Prior to the “point of view” of the brain-mind-body—the total body (including the brain) Abides in and As Intrinsic egolessness, Non-“different” from Transcendental Spiritual and Self-Evidently Divine Reality Itself. Such Is the En-Light-enment of the Whole body.
Un-Enlightened human beings are characteristically involved in trying to find out if there is “Something Greater” in life, so that they can “feel better” about conditionally apparent existence. Such people are always looking to the body-mind-complex and the physical universe to provide “proof” that there is “Something Greater”.
Neither the body-mind-complex nor the entire realm of conditionally manifested appearances will ever provide such “proof”—because neither the body-mind-complex nor the realm of conditionally manifested appearances is the Source-Position in Which you, in Reality, Stand.
In Reality, you Stand in the Position of Consciousness Itself, not in the position of the body-mind-complex or the position of the conditionally apparent cosmos. If you are established profoundly in the Position of Consciousness Itself, you will Realize Its True Status—and, therefore, the True Status of all conditionally apparent beings, things, and events.
In the Most Perfect Stand of Consciousness Itself, there is no “me”, no “someone” egoically “self”-identified with the body, no “subjective” awareness “somewhere inside” (being confronted by the “outside world” of apparently “objective” conditional manifestation). In the Most Perfect Stand of Consciousness Itself, you Realize (Directly and Intrinsically, by Means of My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Grace) that you Stand in the Indivisible Domain of Infinite Energy—and you Realize that every conditionally apparent being, thing, and event is simply an apparent modification of Infinite Energy. In the Most Perfect Stand of Consciousness Itself, you do not even encounter the body—except as an apparent modification of Infinite Energy.
You must have a right understanding of conditionally apparent existence. In the Position of Self-Existing Consciousness Itself, everything that arises to Consciousness Itself is “Perfectly Known” to be a merely apparent, non-necessary, and intrinsically non-binding modification of the Self-Radiant Energy of Self-Existing Consciousness (or of the One and Indivisible Conscious Light That Is Reality Itself). Even the most solid forms are only apparent modifications of Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Energy (or Conscious Light). From the Position of Consciousness Itself, This Is Intrinsically Self-Evident.
In contrast, from the “point of view” of the body-mind-complex, it is not at all Self-Evident What the Status of individual conscious awareness Is, or What the Status of any thing, or any conditionally apparent state of being, Is. From the “point of view” of the body-mind-complex, everything is just “stuff”, “thingness”, “separateness”—or all of mere “self” and “not-self”. Apart from Most Perfect Divine Self-Realization, the Divine Status of conditionally apparent existence is not intuited or presumed.
In the Position of Consciousness Itself, It Is Intrinsically Self-Evident That There Is Only Consciousness Itself In and As the Indivisible Domain of Infinite Energy. All kinds of beings, things, and events are arising conditionally, but they are only apparent modifications of the Self-Radiant Energy of Self-Existing Consciousness—or Divine and One and Indivisible and Perfectly egoless and Perfectly Acausal Conscious Light. This Is “Perfect Knowledge”. This Is the “Knowledge” That Is Most Perfect Divine Enlightenment.
My Divine Avataric Self-Revelation is that the Spiritual Divine Is Prior to conditionality, Prior to the body-mind-“self”, Prior to (space-time-“located”) “point of view”, and (therefore) Prior to any form of cosmic understanding.
Reality Itself does not merely pervade cosmic space. Reality Itself Is the Context (or the Perfectly Subjective and Intrinsically egoless Self-Condition) within Which time and space are apparent. Reality Itself Transcends time and space.
However, Reality Itself Is Prior to (and Perfectly Inclusive of) all “points of view”. In Reality Itself, there is no time-and-space, and no distance between Earth and any star (however many light years away)—because Reality Itself Is Always Priorly and Perfectly and Simultaneously and Non-“differently” Coincident with every actual (and, otherwise, possible) position (or “point of view”) in time and space.
If, on the other hand, it is Realized that there is only the Self-Existence of Reality Itself, inclusive of both places simultaneously (without taking up the position of one or the other independently), then there is no passage of time, no movement in space. The Reality-understanding of That Which Is Divine is that the Divine Is egoless. The Divine Is Prior to “point of view”. Therefore, the Divine Is Prior to any cosmic pattern. The Divine Is Prior to time and space, without excluding any.
Prior to anything that goes through change in time, Prior to anything that moves in space, Prior to all limitations. Therefore, to participate Transcendentally Spiritually in the Divine, or Reality Itself, is not a cosmic (or psycho-physical) activity.
The Divine is not a cosmic manifestation. The Divine Is the Acausal, egoless, and Pre-cosmic (or Acosmic) Transcendental Spiritual Self-Manifestation of Reality Itself.
The Divine—Which Is Reality Itself, and Which Is of a Transcendental Spiritual Nature—does not merely pervade time and space. The Divine Is the Very Condition (or Context) of time and space—Prior to all the appearances of the artifacts (and “point-of-view”-based “experiential” evidence) of time and space.
Divine Translation, or the Outshining of conditional (or cosmic) existence, is not about excluding the cosmic domain or the “experiential” (and space-time-“point-of-view”-based) body-mind. Rather, Divine Translation is about Standing Perfectly egolessly in Place (without dissociation), and Divinely Self-Recognizing all that apparently arises, such that Reality Itself (or That Which every cosmic and/or psycho-physical mode of appearance is Divinely Self-Recognized to Be) Is Divinely Self-Apprehended (or Divinely Self-Apperceived) to Be the Only (One and Indivisible) Context of existence—Self-“Bright”, Self-Existing, egoless, Non-separate, Infinite, Absolute, and Perfectly Divine. That Self-“Bright” Context Is the Divine Self-Domain—Which Is Prior to all possible conditional (or cosmic) modes of domain.
Divine Translation Is Most Perfect “Vanishing” in the Indivisible Non-“difference” of Divine Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light—or Utter, Ecstatic, Perfectly egoless, and all-and-All-“difference”-Transcending Realization of the Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of the Absolute Divine Person, Who Is the True and Perfect and egoless and Indivisible and Acausal Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of all-and-All. Divine Translation Is the Perfection of human existence, in which all limitations are Perfectly transcended. Divine Translation is not annihilation, but Most Perfect Transcendental Spiritual Ecstasy-In-Fullness.
The conditionally apparent “universe” is a Perfect Maze of “causes” and “effects”. All “causation” is entirely conditional, merely apparent, intrinsically non-necessary, and intrinsically non-Ultimate. The “universe” of “causes” and “effects” cannot be finally comprehended, controlled, stopped, or destroyed by any conditional means—but “it” can (and, indeed, must) be Intrinsically, Always Already, and Perfectly Transcended.
The End Of The Path Is The Way From The Beginning
“Consider” this: Devotion to Me is a “conductivity”-relationship to Me. Devotion to Me is not a relationship based on dissociative “self”-consciousness.
Searchless Beholding of Me is the whole bodily disposition that enables My devotee to participate in the “conductivity” of My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission.
The “Oedipally”-based, “id-like” character is fully within the sphere of responsibility of My maturing devotee, whether he or she is celibate or sexually active.
My true devotee never uses the body-mind-“self” in any strategic, manipulative manner in order to seek to attain Me, or to attain Realization Itself. Rather, My true devotee Stands in the Position of Realization—Prior to egoic “self”-identification with the body-mind-complex—and the body-mind-complex is thereupon transformed, because of its conformity to the Realization-Disposition.
ALWAYS ALREADY Changes of the body-mind-“self” are not Divine Self-Realization.
Realization of Me Is Realization of That Which Is Always Already The Case. Realization of Me is not (Itself) Realization of changes in the body-mind-“self”. Realization of Me is not based on doing something with the body-mind-“self”, or on doing something to the body-mind-“self”, or on “experiencing” something in and as the body-mind-“self” (or in and as the “world”).
Realization of Me is only about That Which Is Always Already The Case—not about changes (of whatever nature).
(as if “It” were “inside” something the ego-“I” is otherwise and already identifying and being as “self”). When the egoic position is simply (or tacitly, and always already, or priorly) not presumed, then the Transcendental Spiritual Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of That Which Is Always Already The Case is Directly Self-Revealed and Directly Self-Given—by the Direct Means of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual Grace.
bring the body-mind-“self” to one-pointed concentration in Me—rather than merely “wandering”, like a separate planet,9 pursuing your “self”-patterned course in the “night sky” of egoic life. Do not remain ego-possessed, as if you were an “independent center” of virtue.
egoic life. Do not remain ego-possessed, as if you were an “independent center” of virtue.
THE TRANSCENDENTAL SPIRITUAL WAY OF REALITY ITSELF IS FOUNDED ON THE TACIT AND PRIOR “PERFECT KNOWLEDGE” OF REALITY ITSELF
All mind-forms are forms of mind. That is to say, all mind-forms are conditional manifestations. Therefore, no mind-form is Truth Itself.
All manifestation is arising from a Prior and Intrinsically Indivisible Unity. Everything that appears is developed from What is already there, inherently and potentially. That Prior Unity is fundamental to the Nature of Reality.
You are being the ego (or “Narcissus”)—in the context of the third stage of life, or the fourth stage of life, or the fifth stage of life, or the sixth stage of life. That is all you are doing.
All of the Right-Life disciplines of The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam are necessary forms of your “Radical” (or Always “At-The-Root”) devotional relationship to Me. The Right-Life disciplines of The Reality-Way of Adidam are the living enactment of My “Radical” Argument.
However, the Right-Life disciplines of The Reality-Way of Adidam are not the entirety—or even the most basic dimension—of The Reality-Way of Adidam.
As “Narcissus”, you are persisting in the ordinary motivations of egoic existence. “You”, as “Narcissus”—the ego, the body-mind-personality, the “robot of identity” that wants to be happier, more pleasurized, more amused, have greater experience, greater “knowledge”, more “fun”, more Freedom, more Bliss, and more “Satisfaction” (whatever “it” is)—are not yet a true practitioner of The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam. Everything pursued on the basis of “self”-contraction is “Narcissus”.
What was the point of going through all of that and making This Great Discovery, and then telling It to others? The point was so that others would not have to go through all of that, so that others would have a basis for directly transcending what arises in the midst of life in every moment—
The point of making This Great Discovery and Communicating about It is so that others would have a basis for understanding and transcending the “self”-contraction in all of its forms—so that others could utterly bypass the ordinary life-search, the “religious” search, the “Spiritual” search, and the “world”-excluding “Transcendental” search. The first six stages of life are nothing but egoity—“self”-distraction, “self”-meditation, stimulations (whether peripheral or internal) of the brain and the nervous system. None of that has anything whatsoever to do with Reality (Itself) and seventh stage Divine Self-Enlightenment.
What you have in your minds and in your lives—whether “acquired” in the course of ordinary daily life or “acquired” in the course of your right practice in My Divine Avataric Company—is all something to be merely observed (and never sought, or clung to, or even avoided) and always intrinsically and immediately (and not merely “sooner or later”) transcended. No “object” or “experience” you can “acquire” is “it”—nor is The Reality-Way of Adidam any kind of resistance to all of that.
As My devotee, you are not to “practice” the first six stages of life. As My devotee, you are simply to intrinsically transcend the first six stages of life—and, thus, always (from the beginning of your practice of The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam) to be Utterly Free of the first six (or ego-based, and merely seeking, and always only conditionally-enacted and condition-bound) stages of life.
The presumption of egoically separate existence is a lie. In Reality Itself, egoic existence is not the case.
The Divine is not to be found “elsewhere”—whether “inside”, or “outside”, or “up”, or “down”. The Divine is simply The Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State in The Context of Which the presumed separate “self”, and the presumed separate “other”, and all of the presumed “not-self” are arising.
Divinely Self-Recognizing all the forms of “self” and “not-self” that (apparently) arise.
Perfectly Outshined—but not because of any strategic effort to dissociate from conditional existence. Perfect Outshining (or Divine Translation) is, simply, Perfect Self-Abiding Divine Self-Recognition of conditional existence In and As The Transcendental Spiritual Divine Self-State of Indivisible Conscious Light. In Divine Translation, all conditions are Outshined. They are simply no longer separately noticed.
Rather than being the “self”-contraction and seeking various ego-goals, Be Transcendental Spiritual Divine Being Itself (As Is)—and (Thus and Thereby) Divinely Self-Recognize all of “self” and all of “not-self”. Such Is the “Radical” (or always “At-the-Root”) “self”-understanding and the “Root”-disposition required for right and true (and Intrinsically ego-Transcending) practice of The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Reality-Way of Adidam.
Only the Reality That Is Always Already The Case Is Truth and Real (Acausal) God. Therefore, the only Real (Acausal) God Is That Which Is Realized to Be both Reality and Truth.
Already, and Most Perfectly, Transcended). The ego-“I” (or the “self”-contracted, “self”-referring, separate, separative, finite, always limited, and always changing “point of view” of conditional “experience” and conditional “knowledge”) is (always) that which is not Always Already The Case—
The Alpha strategy is based on the tendency to identify with the Most Prior (or Non-conditional and Transcendental) Reality, or Condition, exclusively (or in a manner that suppresses—or, otherwise, strategically excludes—conditional reality). And the Omega strategy is based on the tendency to identify with conditional reality exclusively (or in a manner that suppresses—or, otherwise, strategically excludes—the Non-conditional, or Transcendental, Reality). The Alpha strategy exhibits control relative to conditional reality (including social relations, social and bodily action, sex and functional bodily indulgence of all kinds, expressions of emotion, and activities of mind) and liberality relative to the Non-conditional (or Divine) Reality. Thus, the Alpha preference is for the control (or strategic limiting, or minimizing) of the functional and relational activities of the conditional psycho-physical personality (even to the degree of suppression and exclusion)—and for the maximizing of attention, mystical devotion, and meditative surrender to the Transcendental Divine Reality, Being, or Person.
Similarly, there is another and quite opposite strategy, which Alpha strategists conceive to be the anti-esoteric path, but which Omega strategists conceive to be inevitable, truly human, and even, from a conventionally “religious” (and rather exoteric) “point of view”, obligatory. That strategy is the Omega strategy itself. The Omega strategy exhibits liberality relative to conditional reality (including social relations, social and bodily action, sex and functional bodily indulgence of all kinds, expressions of emotion, and activities of mind)—and control (in the form of doubt, lack of interest, and taboos of all kinds) relative to the Non-conditional (or Divine) Reality.
conditional cosmic scheme.) These two strategic “points of view” are apparently in conflict with one
That conflict is, itself, one of the principal conditional signs of human struggle within the context of conditional Nature.
Whether Alpha or Omega, it is the same ego (or “self”-contraction) that makes the path. The same ego turns away from conditional reality and turns toward it. The
and do “God’s Work” by maximizing conditional “experience” and “knowledge”. It is simply that there are two forms of egoity—the one basically Oriental, and the other basically Occidental.
Call humankind to the only Way That Is Single, Whole, and not based on egoity.
Therefore, clearly, if one acts (or yields conditional attention to conditional reality), one will inevitably react. Because of this, those who try to act and not react are always trying to control their reactions (and, otherwise, wishing they were not moved to act).
The conventionally archetypal (or Alpha) concept and strategy of “religion”, Spirituality, and Transcendentalism generally prefers to minimize the amount of time spent in conditional action and to maximize the amount of time spent in inward meditation. Even the ego can do this, and still there may be not even a moment of True Real-God-Communion!
The conventionally archetypal (or Alpha) concept and strategy of “religion”, Spirituality, and Transcendentalism generally emphasizes “self”-restraint, or the control of outgoing exuberance, or the minimization of the expression (or depletion) of the heart in relation to conditional reality.
Greater than conditional peace of mind is the transcending of mind in Real God, Wherein the mind is Perfectly Transcended (along with action, body, reactive and conditional emotion, and attention). Greater than conditional peace of mind is mind yielded (in Ecstasy), to the degree of Divine Exaltation and Divine “Intoxication”—transparent to the Divine Fullness of Love-Bliss, and Radiant with Divine Joy.
Neither the Alpha morality of strategically pursued escape (through the passive enactment of virtues and duties) nor the Omega morality of creative change (through aggressive efforts toward conditional goals) is a principle founded on Truth.
I do not Call My devotee to become Happy by strategically separating body, emotion, or attention from conditions, “objects”, and “others”. I do not say: Be dissociatively unmoved under all conditions and in all relations.
The Inherent Happiness of My Divine Love-Bliss is not Realized by dissociation, or the strategic avoidance of relationship. The Inherent Happiness of My Divine Love-Bliss is Realized by transcending the “self”-contraction in limitless relatedness (or no-contraction and no-“self”), which is egoless (or unconditional) devotional Communion with Me, or participatory surrender of the total conditional (and, altogether, psycho-physical) personality (or body-mind-“self”) in and to Me, the Avatarically Self-Revealed Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, Intrinsically egoless, Perfectly Acausal, and Self-Evidently Divine Person (or Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State) of Reality Itself.
And that always turning-to-Me devotion is senior to all concerns relative to virtue, duty, and conventional (or humanistic) social morality.
the Alpha strategist must avoid both pain (or suffering) and pleasure. Therefore, the Alpha strategist is moved to (strategically) escape (or turn away) from the total context of natural, bi-polar (or dualistic), and cosmic (or conditionally manifested) existence. The Omega strategy is motivated primarily by the desire to achieve conditional (or psycho-physical) pleasure. Since psycho-physical pleasure is the natural polar opposite of psycho-physical pain and suffering, psycho-physical pain and suffering must inevitably be “experienced” and “known” if psycho-physical pleasure is even to be sought (whether or not it is achieved).
Therefore, the Omega strategist is moved to embrace and even to perfect the total context of natural, bi-polar (or dualistic), and cosmic (or conditionally manifested) existence.
The Alpha strategist is motivated to avoid or (strategically) escape the entire cycle of desiring, getting, having, and enjoying—because the Alpha strategist is obsessed with the desire to desire not, and to avoid pain, and to not suffer. The Omega strategist is bound to a struggle with the inevitable realities of conditional (or psycho-physical) pain and suffering—because the Omega strategist is obsessed with desiring, getting, having, and enjoying. The Alpha strategist is constantly struggling to avoid or (strategically) escape from suffering, pain, pleasure, money, food, sex, fear, sorrow, anger, greed, lust, attachment, boredom, doubt, discomfort, conditional “experience”, conditional “knowledge” (or illusion), and egoity (or conditional “selfhood”). The Omega strategist is constantly indulging in (or, otherwise, suffering from) suffering itself, and pain, pleasure, money, food, sex, fear, sorrow, anger, greed, lust, attachment, boredom, doubt, discomfort, conditional “experience”, conditional “knowledge” (or illusion), and egoity (or conditional “selfhood”).
The Alpha strategist seeks to avoid conditional (or psycho-physical) pain (or suffering) to an absolute degree—but this is not possible within the context of conditional existence, or in the “experience” of the body-mind-complex. Therefore, the Alpha strategist suffers from the “problem” of the desire not to desire.
Therefore, the Omega strategist suffers from the “problem” of the desire for desire.
The Omega strategist tends to manifest “self”-involved enthusiasm for conditional (or psycho-physical) “experience” and “knowledge”, despair in the face of negative and frustrating or painful events, and chronic psycho-physical dis-ease (or toxicity, enervation, and imbalance, due to overindulgence of the body-mind-“self”). Such are the diseases of failed “self”-understanding and failed (or, at best, merely selective and partial, and, altogether, inadequate and merely strategic) “self”-discipline. The “self”-contraction rolls both forward and backward, but always on itself.
I Always and Only Speak the One Truth—even tacitly, without a word, by Means of Perfectly Self-Radiant Silence.
only by
The ego-“I” is always (and inherently) seeking and arguing—because it is inherently (and actively, and always “self”-contractively) dissociated (or apparently separated) from Reality Itself, Truth Itself, and Real (Acausal) God. The ego-“I” is inherently dissociated, dissatisfied, “self”-deluded, and un-Free.
Reality Itself Is the egoless, Acausal, Transcendental Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine Indivisibility That Is the Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Self-State, and Conscious Light of all-and-All—and the all-and-All-Self-Organizing (and Intrinsically all-and-All-Self-Correcting, and Inevitably all-and-All-Self-Rightening, and Perfectly all-and-All-Self-“Brightening”) Source-Context of all-and-All. Therefore, why “pray to God for favors”—when Real God Is Always Already, egolessly, and Acausally Self-Evident, Full, Perfect, and Without negativity, lack, or absence? 3.
In other words, the concern (and real fear) that is expressed, in some monotheistic “Creator-God” traditions, relative to magical practices is, fundamentally, a concern (and a fear, and even a paranoid obsession) relative to the “power” of the independent individual ego-mind—and that concern is, now, a universal characteristic of even all human collectives, whether “religious” or secular. As a result of the anciently and yet unresolved fundamental “problem” of the magical “power” of the individual ego-“I”, all the political, social, economic, and cultural collectives—including all the nation-states—of present-day humankind are “self”-divided upon the intrinsic duality of ego-mind, and everywhere dramatized by a popular (and magically “self”-deluded) demand for absolute freedom of individual activity and the “official” (and magic-paranoid) demand for absolute control of the masses of anarchic human egos in their inevitable chaos of “self”-indulgence and magical illusions.
The fundamental human urge and need is not gross in its nature. The fundamental human urge and need is not food, sex, power, “things”, or even physical survival. The fundamental human urge and need is happiness—but not in the mere “satisfaction-of-self” sense. The fundamental human urge and need is ecstasy—or the free exercise of the ability to “step outside” (or to effectively exceed and transcend) the “point-of-view”-bondage of egoic and (altogether) mortal physical “self”-identity.
Every anti-ecstatic (or non-ecstatic) act—or every act based upon egoic “self”-identification with the body (and, thus and thereby, with the total body-mind-complex)—is a search for ecstasy.
The motivating “cause” of all bodily (and, altogether, psycho-physical) “self”-indulgence (or “self”-exploitation) is the inability to achieve and sustain ecstasy (or the transcending of the mortal “self”-identity). The effort of “self”-indulgence—which is intrinsically (and, at “root”, intentionally) “self”-destructive—is a search to destroy what one presumes one cannot transcend. Thus, the effort of “self”-indulgence is always psycho-physically “self”-destructive, both in its “method” and in its “effects”—because, in frustration relative to the absence of the capability to achieve ecstasy (or the transcending of egoic and, altogether, mortal “self”-identity), a reactive and desperate search is always “self”-generated, and its goal is pseudo-ecstasy, or the destruction (rather than the transcending) of the egoic and (altogether) mortal “self”-identity.
What would Happen if all of humankind were—now, and forever hereafter—allowed complete, unobstructed, and Perfectly Ecstatic access to Intrinsically egoless Truth Itself? What would Happen if—instead of access merely to “worldly” (or “gross realist”, or “scientific materialist”, or exclusively exoteric), and traditionally “official”, and anti-ecstatic, and anti-magical, and anti-metaphysical, and anti-Spiritual “ego-Truth” and pseudo-Ultimacy—all of humankind were, from now on, allowed complete and unobstructed and Perfectly Ecstatic access to Intrinsically egoless Truth Itself?
The “return of the repressed”—in the form of globally-destructive (and even “darkly magical”) human ego-power—must not be permitted to achieve its terrible results.
The Perfectly Ecstatic Reality-Process of right and true participation in Real God (or Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Reality Itself) is, necessarily, searchless, non-“causative”, all-and-All-surrendering, entirely esoteric, Perfectly Transcendental, Perfectly Spiritual, Priorly (or Always Already) egoless, and an Always and Only Tacit and Non-conditional Event.
The Way to Really-Realize Real God is the searchless and intrinsically ego-transcending (or intrinsically ecstatic) life-practice of constant, whole bodily, and tacit (or pre-verbal) true (or esoteric, thoroughly non-egoic, and, thus, intrinsically non-“religious”) prayer.
“True prayer” is intrinsically egoless, intrinsically ecstatic, and free of the “method” and purposiveness of search.
Acting “as if” there is a “Something-Big-out-there” that is interested in responding to the ego-“I” is a principal seeking-“method” human beings (everywhere and in all times) use to access and animate “something-inside-the-ego-‘self’” that is otherwise non-conscious and inaccessible. This seeking-“method” works “like magic”—but it is, actually, a practical means for accessing various psycho-physical elements of the ego-“self” that are not otherwise activated in daily living.
Reality Itself—or Real God—Is Always Already Prior to ego-“I”, verbal mind, space-time “point of view”, and all of “cause” and “effect”.
Fear “causes” the idea-illusion of “other” (or “object”) to arise. Fear is the primal psycho-physical evidence of the “self”-contraction of the brain-and-body-complex of perceptual “point-of-view”-awareness. Fear is the state of non-ecstasy, or possession by egoic “self”-contraction.
Thoughts and actions can be changed, corrected, and rightened in their “effects”—and even the “causing” of thought and action can be Perfectly transcended.
In Reality Itself, the body is intrinsically egoless, non-separate, non-“objective”, and non-“personal”.
In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of life, Ecstasy Is Always Already The Case—and, therefore, Ecstasy need not be sought. The Only True Ecstasy need not be sought and cannot be achieved. All seeking for Ecstasy is, self-evidently, a dramatization of the failure to Intrinsically Self-Realize Ecstasy As The Case in the present. The Only True Ecstasy Is the Ecstasy That Is Always Already The Case.
Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga
“God”-ideas are (each, and all, and always) merely illusory and would-be-ego-consoling substitutes for direct understanding of, and intrinsic (and intrinsically ego-transcending) participation in, the Intrinsically Unexplained, and Intrinsically Unexplainable, and Perfectly egolessly Non-consoling Circumstance and Condition of Reality Itself.
If people subordinate Me to themselves, they approach Me merely in order to have their egoic “self”-image congratulated, stimulated, acknowledged, and supported.
Devotional surrender to Me is utter “loss of face”. There is no “correctness” in devotional surrender to Me. Devotional surrender to Me is completely “self”-forgotten. Devotional surrender to Me is simply Communion with Me—without diversions, and without “self”-defense. Either devotional surrender to Me is so or it is not.
the Process, and the Awakening, and the State That Is (Thus and Thereby) Awakened.
Thus, practice as My First Congregation devotee requires prior rudimentary establishment in the by-Me-Given preliminary Listening-practice of “Perfect Knowledge” (as Listening-reception of My “Five Reality-Teachings”), and (thereupon) ongoing development of the by-Me-Given preliminary Listening-practice of “Perfect Knowledge” (as “Transcendental Root-Standing”), until the fully (Transcendentally Spiritually) Me-Hearing and Me-Seeing formal renunciate (and, eventually, seventh-stage-of-life-Demonstrating) “Perfect Practice” of “Perfect Knowledge” (as “Radical Self-Abiding”) can begin.
That single principal form of practice is whole-bodily-recognition-responsive devotional Invocation of Me.
Without whole bodily Me-Invoking devotional recognition-response to Me, there can never be right-life obedience (in its right and true form). Without right-life obedience to Me, there can never be the preliminary “Perfect Knowledge” Listening-practice (in its right and true form).
In that course of “Sadhana-Years”-Submission, I progressively and spontaneously Developed a unique practice of “self”-Enquiry (Exercised in the form “Avoiding relationship?”)—wherein and whereby the would-be “self”-contraction of the conditionally arising Body-Mind upon a natural “point of view” and ego-“I”-presumption was intensively transcended in the Transcendental Spiritual Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of the “Bright”. Thus, “self”-Enquiry (in the form “Avoiding relationship?”, and, finally, “Radical Re-cognition”, or the intrinsic “knowing again” and tacit transcending of every form and mode of “self”-contraction) was intensively Engaged by Me, until (at last) there was no remaining “object” in view (or any “content” to transcend) except for attention (or the “root”-feeling of relatedness) itself. Then, finally, My Own “Bright” Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State, Wherein and Whereof attention (or the “root”-feeling of relatedness) itself arises, became Transcendentally Spiritually and Divinely Self-Evident As Is—egolessly and Always Already Prior to attention (or the “root”-feeling of relatedness) itself and all possible “objects” of its “point of view”.
the Fundamental and Essential Means—is an intrinsically egoless and thoroughly non-seeking practice, not of “self”-Enquiry (in the form “Avoiding relationship?”), but, rather, of “radical” (or always “at-the-root”) and, altogether, whole-bodily-demonstrated recognition-responsive devotion to Me, right-life obedience to Me, and “Perfect Knowledge” of Me (Transcendentally Spiritually Self-“Bright” As I Am),
Reality Itself Is Enormously and Boundlessly “Bright”—Self-Radiant, for no reason whatsoever. Self-“Bright” Reality Itself Is As Is—Itself. My Transcendental Spirit-Power is not merely some kind of “energy” in the body-mind-complex, which can be accounted for in terms of psycho-physical patterning. Rather, My Transcendental Spirit-Power Is the Self-Transmission of the Intrinsic Virtue of Consciousness Itself. My Transcendental Spirit-Power Functions Acausally (or simply As Is, rather than by “cause-and-effect” means) in the living context of psycho-physical designs.
Transcendental Spiritual Love-Bliss-Light-Fullness Is the “Wine”, the Nectar Filling the cup of body-form, the Infusion of “Brightness”.
“Transcendental Root-Standing”, in which My devotees literally Listen—regularly, daily, and intensively—to audible spoken Recitations of My “Teaching Manual of Perfect Summaries”. The regular, daily, and intensive practice of Listening to Recitations of My “Teaching Manual of Perfect Summaries” Acausally Self-Activates the “Radical (or Intrinsic, Tacit, Perfectly Prior, and ‘At-the-Root’) Reality-Intuition” of the Intrinsic Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself—or What Is Self-Evidently The (One and Only and Indivisible and Intrinsically egoless and Acausal and Really Divine) Case.
Fully Described by Me in My Hridaya Rosary (including My “Four Thorns of Heart-Instruction”) and in My Dawn Horse Testament.
That Upward-turning must already be spontaneously and readily occurring in response to your (always spontaneous and searchless) “Experience” of My Tangible (Descending-from-Above) Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission. As My searchlessly Me-Beholding devotee, you do not “do” anything Spiritually. Rather, you tangibly “Experience” Me Transcendentally Spiritually.
By that negative presumption, there is no Infinite Upwardness or Beyondness presumed, or even allowed. Indeed, by that negative presumption, the “room” of mind has come to have a solid “ceiling” (as if of stone or steel). By that negative presumption, there is not anything Above—but there is (by that presumption) only the “horizontal” directness of the senses, and (therefore) there is only a physical (material, mortal, and exclusively conditional) basis for existence (and nothing “knowable”—or even existing—Beyond the physical).
The Pressure (or Invasive Force) of This Event may be rather (and even Happily) Overwhelming—and It must be allowed. At last, it is not possible (nor would you wish) to defend your psycho-physical “self” against This Invading Pressure of My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Descent.
The feeling-sense that results from This simple (and most basic) frontal In-Filling by My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual Presence is that the total body-mind-complex is Sublimed and Released into (ego-surrendering, ego-forgetting, and ego-transcending) feeling-Identification with the Spherical Form of My Own Divine and Transcendental Spiritual (and all-and-All-Surrounding, and all-and-All-Pervading) Love-Bliss-Body of Indefinable Transcendental Spiritual “Brightness” (or Indestructible Light).
The ordinary references of the body-mind-“self” and the environment will, in This Divine Yogic Event, not make much sense (or, in any manner, affect This “Experience” of the “Thumbs”)—although there may be some superficial (and entirely non-limiting) awareness of the body, the room (or the physical environment of the body), and so forth. This “Experience” will last for a few moments, or a few minutes—or for an extended period, of indefinite length.
In the “Thumbs”, awareness of the physical context of “experience” is not lost, but it is, rather, totally changed—such that, instead of the “self”-conscious, “self”-contracted shape of the waking-state personality, one’s physical form is found to be an Intrinsically egoless and Boundlessly Self-Radiant Sphere (without thickness of surface, or any “center” at all).
A re-phasing of the “Energy”-construct of bodily awareness and spatial awareness occurs, such that physical body and physical space are tacitly sensed in a manner entirely different from ordinary perception (or psycho-physical ego-consciousness). And, as soon as there is any effort to recollect the usual sense of bodily form or of the circumstance of physical embodiment, the Transcendental Spiritual “Experience” of the “Thumbs” disappears.
That Absolutely Single (and Formless) “Maha-Bindu” Is the True Absolute “Point-Condition”—or Formless and Colorless (or Non-“objective”, and, therefore, not “Lighted”) “Black Hole”—from Which (to the “point of view” of any “objectified” or “Lighted” place or entity, itself) the (or any) total cosmic domain (of conditionally arising forms, states, and beings) appears to Emanate (in an “all-and-All-objectifying Big Bang”).
Infinite Centerless and Boundless “Midnight Sun” and Perfect Space, In and As Which all separateness, all “difference”, and Even all-and-All Is Perfectly Divinely Outshined.
In any case, the possibly perceived abstract inner light (or any “bindu”, or point, or “Mandala”, or complex abstract vision, of inwardly perceived light) is merely, and necessarily, a display of the functional “root”-point of the brain’s perception of conditionally manifested universal light (or merely cosmic light) itself.
That is to Say, it was inherently Obvious to Me that any and all internal (or otherwise psycho-physical) “experiencing” necessarily requires the exercise (via attention) of the “root”-position (and the conditionally arising psycho-physical apparatus) of conditionally arising “self”-consciousness (or of the separate and separative psycho-physical ego-“I”). I immediately Concluded that—unless the Process of Realization could transcend the very structure and pattern of ego-based “experiencing” and the very Structure and Pattern of the conditionally manifested cosmos itself—Realization would Itself (necessarily) be limited (as in the case of conditionally Ascended Nirvikalpa Samadhi) by the same “subject-object” (or ego-versus-“object”) dichotomy that otherwise characterizes even all ordinary (or non-mystical) “experience”.
Because He characteristically preferred to dwell upon inner “objects”, Baba Muktananda (in the “naive” manner of fourth and fifth stage mystics in general) interpreted Reality Itself (or Divine Self-Realization Itself) to “require” inner perceptual phenomenal (or conditionally arising) “experiences” and presumptions as a necessary support for Realization (Itself).
Transcendental Spiritual Love-Bliss, Extending from the right side of the bodily apparent heart to Infinitely Above the crown of the head) Self-Shining from the Centerless and Boundless Space Infinitely Above the body and the mind, and (from Thence) Descending and Ascending in the bodily Circle (and, in the Event, randomly inhaled in Descent and exhaled in Ascent).
The preliminary practice of “Perfect Knowledge” Awakens Tacit Establishment In and As the Witness-Position of Consciousness Itself. Such Tacit Establishment In and As the Witness-Position of Consciousness Itself is an absolutely essential aspect of right foundation preparation for the Transcendental Spiritual Process
Pervading, “locationless”, “identityless”, “objectless”, “problem”-free, searchless, goalless, Intrinsically actionless, altogether “differenceless”, and, Thus, Perfectly Acausal)
The Realization of the True Divine Heart is the Ultimate (though never Most Perfectly Attained) “Goal” of the “great path of return”. Therefore, Realization of the True Divine Heart is traditionally understood to be possible only at the end of a long course of Spiritual practice. In Truth, the True Divine Heart Is not the “Goal” but the Foundation of all right and true practice and Realization.
No matter what arises as your “experience” or “knowledge” (whether gross or subtle or causal, and whether of body or of mind), you Are the Witness of it—and That Which Is the Witness Is Consciousness Itself.
The by-Me-Transcendentally-Spiritually-Self-Revealed Witness-Consciousness Inherently “Confesses” (or Tacitly Feels): “I Am not the one who wakes, or dreams, or sleeps—but I Am the Witness of all these states, and (Thus) of all conditional states of body, or body-mind, or mind, and (likewise) of all ‘un-Perfect’ States (or all Samadhis that are, in a conditional manner, dependent upon body, or body-mind, or mind, or ‘point of view’).” To Stand As the Witness-Consciousness is not merely a matter of presuming the Witness-Position to Be the Case—based on your idealizing of the Witness-Consciousness, or your philosophical (or verbal) arguing for the fact of It, and so on. Yes, the Witness-Position Is “True” of you, in any case—but It must be Intrinsically, Priorly, and Tacitly Self-Realized to Be So.
The “natural” (or psycho-physically-patterned) ego is identified with the body-mind-complex, and imagines that it is doing the actions of the body and thinking the thoughts of the mind. Thus, the usual human being imagines that actions and thoughts are “caused” by a “self” that is actively doing them. The illusion of the ego is that it is “causing” its own “experiences” and (otherwise) that its “experiences” are being “caused” from “without”. The presumption that there is an active ego “doing” things, and that the active ego must (therefore) “do” other things in order to free itself from the “effects” of what it has done, is the “root”-source of the great search. The effort to “cure” the separate “self” (or the “soul”) of its bondage, its attachments, its associations, and its “effects” is fundamental to the search of the first six stages of life.
It is observed that, in actuality, it is the psycho-physical pattern of ego-“self” that is thinking thoughts.
The ego-“self” is an illusory “I”. The illusory “I” is not the basis for practice of the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam.
Without such right preparation, My First Congregation devotees would tend to look for signs that have to do with ego-based and merely psycho-physically-generated Spiritual evidence. That is not the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam.
How can you be tacitly (and, necessarily, egolessly) associated with What Is Above the body, Above the brain, Above the mind, unless you are already in that Position? The body-mind-complex is not, itself, in the Position Above the body and Above the mind.
The Transcendental Spiritual Process of the Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam begins in the Witness-Position (or the Intrinsically egoless and Never-“objectified” Self-Position).
For My by-Me-Transcendentally-Spiritually-Awakened First Congregation devotees, there is no seeking—because there is no ego at the “root” of life, no “causative”-somebody that has a “problem” or that requires a search.
My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission Shows Itself in the bodily context as Love-Bliss-Fullness Pervading the body, but My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission is not otherwise about the necessary manifesting and “experiencing” of elaborate psycho-physical signs.
What such Realizers describe is the “great path of return”, unfolded through a path of cosmic Spirituality.
State. Therefore, in the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, there is no seeking for any mode of Savikalpa Samadhi or for the attainment of fifth stage conditional Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
The Divine Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light Is Felt from Infinitely Above the head and the mind—Radiant, Centerless, and Boundless—Pervading the whole bodily Circle As Love-Bliss-Fullness, without other content.
Merely wanting to Realize Me does not, in and of itself, make you fit to approach Me as My First Congregation devotee. Wanting to Realize Me is the Impulse that leads you to formally embrace the Eternal Vow of devotion to Me as My Second Congregation devotee.
No amount of being studied, informed, or even scholarly about the Great Tradition of humankind can prepare you for the Real Transcendental Spiritual Process of the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam—even if you do practice devotion to Me, and even if you do discipline the body-mind-“self” in terms of right-life practice.
The tacitly assumed disposition of the Witness-Position is what makes the practice of My “Four Thorns of Heart-Instruction” intrinsically searchless, intrinsically ego-transcending, and intrinsically body-mind-transcending. In the tacitly assumed disposition of the Witness-Position, the practice of My “Four Thorns of Heart-Instruction” shows itself bodily as Receptivity to That Which Is Infinitely Above, rather than as an exercise of working “from the ground up”.
My Ruchira Sannyasin devotees do not maintain conditions of life that are about realizing conditional goals of any kind.
My Ruchira Sannyasin devotees only want Divine Self-Realization, and do not care about anything else. Therefore, one who is truly My Ruchira Sannyasin devotee could not possibly live an ordinary life.
In the case of
My Love-Bliss Is the “Thickness” in the air—without a psycho-physical sign in “It”.
I Am to be breathed
the Tangible Force of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Transcendental Spiritual
Ramana Maharshi taught a sixth stage practice of dissociative introversion, strategically turning away from body and mind via Descent in Atma Nadi (or Amrita Nadi), and (thus and thereby) exclusively fixed upon the Transcendental “Root”.
In the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, there is no turning toward “self” and no turning away from “not-self”.
Atma Nadi—in Its “Regenerated” Form—is not merely a “line” of “conductivity” in the body. Rather, Atma Nadi—in Its “Regenerated” Form—Is the Fundamental Condition. Atma Nadi can be seen with reference to the body, but It has (Itself) nothing to do with the body or with the cosmic domain. Atma Nadi Is the “Bright”.
The “Regeneration” of Atma Nadi is not merely a “subjective” happening. The “Regeneration” of Atma Nadi Is the Condition of everything—everything “subjective”, everything “objective”, and (altogether) everything conditional (gross, subtle, or causal).
The Transcendental Spiritual Process in My Divine Avataric Company is never a matter of focusing attention in any kind of “experiential” phenomena that arise in the body-mind-complex. No matter what “experiential” phenomena may arise, the body-mind-complex is, simply, to be turned to Me.
The Transcendental Spiritual Process in My Divine Avataric Company Is a Profundity that Transcends waking, dreaming, and sleeping.
Therefore, Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not about the search for any kind of non-ordinary (or “alternative”) state. Rather, Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is about Self-“Locating”, or Self-Awakening to, the Native (or Intrinsic) State of Self-Evidently Divine Reality Itself. This right understanding is a fundamental necessity. By tendency, human beings wander in the egoically patterned gross, subtle, and causal structure of the body-mind-complex. Certain non-ordinary modes of depth-involvement in the potential gross, subtle, and causal states of the body-mind-complex have a kind of pleasure-of-relaxation and attention-diversion associated with them. Human beings tend to seek such “alternative” states as a means of “tuning out” from stresses.
By tendency, human beings wander in the egoically patterned gross, subtle, and causal structure of the body-mind-complex. Certain non-ordinary modes of depth-involvement in the potential gross, subtle, and causal states of the body-mind-complex have a kind of pleasure-of-relaxation and attention-diversion associated with them. Human beings tend to seek such “alternative” states as a means of “tuning out” from stresses.
As a general rule, human beings are always seeking a pleasurably distracted state of the body and the mind—or, in other words, a pleasurably transformed state of observer-awareness.
When human beings are involved in what they presume to be a process associated with “religious” and even “Spiritual” life, what they are actually doing (based on their egoic suffering of and as the body-mind-complex) is using the body-mind-complex to achieve an “alternative” state (or a “trance-state”) of the body-mind-“self”.
When you are simply Free, without division, “problem”, conflict, and search-effort in yourself, then you Intrinsically Realize Reality Itself As Self-Evident and As Real God—not other than any “experience” at all, and not “other” than any condition whatsoever. Reality Itself, Which Is Transcendental Spiritual Love-Bliss Itself, Is the Intrinsically egoless, Indivisible, and Acausal Source-Condition and the Always Prior Self-Condition of all arising conditions.
Therefore, Reality Itself is not merely and exclusively “elsewhere”, and not merely “otherwise”, and not “inside”, in the form of a “secret” light, or sound, or voice, or vision, or idea, or “heavenly place”. The Realization of Reality Itself, Which Is Self-Evidently Divine, does not involve the slightest dissociative and introversive (or “inward”-turning) orientation—not even the slightest.
Standing in an attitude of no-recoil in the midst of all arising conditions, you Intrinsically Self-Apprehend (or Self-Apperceive, or “Perfectly Know”) the Intrinsically egoless, Indivisible, and Acausal Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself—and, As Such, you Are Love-Bliss-Fullness Itself.
That Tacit “Root”-Realization (or Intrinsic Self-Realization) of Reality Itself—Which Is Intrinsic “Perfect Knowledge” of and As Love-Bliss-Fullness Itself—does not (Itself) necessarily carry with it (or inevitably coincide with, or in any sense require or “cause”) any conditional “experience” of gross, subtle, or causal phenomena.
When you tacitly Stand Free of egoic “self”-contraction, the entire automated “internal program” of gross, subtle, and causal seeking is intrinsically transcended, entirely released, and become totally unnecessary. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is the “Root”-Process (or Searchless and Intrinsically egoless Native Event) of Divine Self-“Location” and Divine Self-Awakening. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not a search for any “other” (or “alternative”, or non-ordinary) state.
Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not about “tuning out”—or dissociatively introverting in reaction to—one’s present psycho-physical state. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not about “tuning into” any “alternative” psycho-physical state. Altogether, Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not about strategically modifying the gross, subtle, and causal possibilities of the natural and egoic pattern of the body-mind-complex.
Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is only the Process of moment to moment Intrinsic Self-Awakening, by Intrinsically Self-“Locating” (or “Perfectly Knowing”, and, Thus, Self-Apprehending, or Self-Apperceiving, and Intrinsically Self-Realizing) the Intrinsic, egoless, Indivisible, and Non-conditional Native State That Is the Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself.
As a general rule, every human being is “sitting” in the apparent “problem” of his or her own present-time conditional pattern of ego-state—and trying to “solve” that “problem” by seeking to “locate” or achieve some “other” conditionally-patterned state.
Such seeking for some “other” (or “alternative”) conditionally-patterned state is merely the body-mind-complex playing with itself, spinning in its own circular pattern of limitations. Such seeking for some “other” (or “alternative”) conditionally-patterned state is not the Process of Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga.
Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is the Way of “Root”-Persistence In, Of, and As the Native and Transcendentally Spiritually Self-Evident Reality-State—no matter what arises or does not arise. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is entirely of an egoless and Transcendental Spiritual Nature.
Likewise, Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not any form of egoically “self”-meditating procedure or “technique”. Involvement in egoic “self”-meditation shows itself as various signs, various attitudes, and various kinds of patterning, depending on the individual. To be involved in any form of egoic “self”-meditation is nothing but a “self-guruing” distraction from recognition-responsive devotion to Me. Some individuals even tend to become “self”-righteous about their ego-based (and ego-driven, and ego-binding) “self”-meditation—asserting that, for them, such “technique”-specific seeking Is “the process” of “the Way”.
Some individuals even tend to become “self”-righteous about their ego-based (and ego-driven, and ego-binding) “self”-meditation—asserting that, for them, such “technique”-specific
The “bodily battery”—below the navel and above the bodily base—is, in and of itself, a merely natural (or conditionally arising) pattern-appearance or pattern-“location”, associated with the waking state (or the gross dimension of conditional pattern-possibility).
Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is Associated with the Prior Transcendental Spiritual State—the Native (or “Root”) State, Prior to gross, subtle, causal, waking, dreaming, and sleeping. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is “On the Other Side”, so to speak, of the causal knot and the right side of the bodily apparent heart.
Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not a seeking-“technique”, or a “program” of psycho-physically enacted “method”, involving a prescribed exploitation and goal-orientation relative to the body-mind. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is whole-bodily-recognition-responsive devotional turning to Me—whole bodily ego-surrendering, ego-forgetting, and ego-transcending, moment to moment. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is the “Radical” (or Always “At-the-Root”) Way of life.
All processes found in the context of the Great Tradition of humankind are psycho-physically-determined (and, altogether, ego-based and search-bound) processes of the first six stages of life—processes in which the demonstrated signs are, necessarily and inevitably, gross or subtle or causal in nature.
The separate “self” does not exist—except in mind. The separate “self” is a mental (and, altogether, total psycho-physical) illusion. The illusion of separate “self” is apparently “effective” in the domain of “causes” and “effects”—but the illusion of separate “self” has no Reality-characteristics. Therefore, separate “self” is a lie and a negatively-destined pattern of life.
In the Realization of Reality Itself, all such “accumulating” and “achieving” is Dissolved, Vanished, and Outshined in the Divine.
- The ego-“I” reflexively refers everything back to itself. The ego-“I” transforms everything (or turns everything back) into the ego’s own pattern. The ego-“I” is a pattern-driven machine of illusion and bondage—in the midst of the Intrinsically egoless Domain of Reality Itself.
Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not merely about some kind of “evolving” of the patterns of the ego. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not the “great path of return”. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not a process of developing the potentials of the gross, subtle, and causal patterning of the conditional persona.
The Most Ultimate Evidence of Perfectly “Locating” Me and “Knowing” Me Is Divine Translation. Divine Translation is not an ego-state or an ego-destiny. Divine Translation Is the Divine Sphere of Love-Bliss-Fullness—Prior to egoity, and Prior to all conditionality. Divine Translation has no patterns in It. Divine Translation Outshines all patterns. In Divine Translation, all pattern is made obsolete. In Divine Translation, there is no ego and no pattern.
Divine Translation, or “Real Heaven”, Is My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain of Conscious Light. Divine Translation, or “Real Heaven”, Is the Non-“different” Sphere (or “Midnight Sun”) of the “Bright” Itself.
My Self-Domain Is the Indivisible “Bright” Divine Sphere within Which all-and-All is apparently arising. My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain Intrinsically and Always Priorly Outshines all-and-All. Therefore, when My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain Is Realized, “It” Outshines all conditional domains of “possibility”, including the domain of human “experience” on Earth.
All the Signs of the Transcendental Spiritual Process are a “Brightening”. It is like the metaphor I have Given of clay objects in a kiln. If you look in the window of the kiln, you see the objects getting brighter and brighter. At first, they get reddish-bright, and the glow makes their shapes indefinite. At last, they cease to be visible in the brightness. That is a good metaphor for Divine Translation.
The phenomena of the traditional Spiritual process are not “It”. Phenomena may arise, but they should not be allowed to trap attention. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is always the searchless Beholding of Me. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is always participation in the only-by-Me (and only-As-Me) Revealed and Given “Brightening” Process. I Am the “Bright”. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is about constantly devotionally recognizing Me and being whole bodily drawn into Communion with Me—rather than the body-mind-complex contracting upon its own psycho-physical patterns and “possibilities”. The body-mind-complex must be allowed to be Outshined. The Outshining of the body-mind-complex Is the Process of Transcendental Spiritual Communion with Me.
ego-bound human beings characteristically do not understand the implications and the “root”-origins of the arising of the totality of the three common states. You refer to your “self” as that which “experiences” all of the three common states—and, yet, the waking “you” is apparently an entirely different person than the dreaming “you” or the sleeping “you”. Who is this “you” that is “experiencing” all of the three common states (and not merely existing as one or the other of the three common states)? What Is That Which Is The Case—regardless of which of the three common states is arising in any moment? That is not a “question” for thinking about, or for making into some kind of “technique”—but, rather, “It” Is the Tacitly Self-Evident Reality-State to Be (Thus) Tacitly Self-Apprehended (or Intuitively Self-Apperceived). I Address this matter of That, in the simplest and most summary “root”-terms, in My “Five Reality-Teachings”.
Moment to moment, your Real Condition Transcends the would-be-active entity that presumes itself to be involved in either waking or dreaming or sleeping.
The Reality-State That Is is not something that can be brought about by “causing” It through some kind of “technique”. The Reality-State That Is Is simply to Be Intrinsically Self-Apprehended (or Tacitly Intuitively Self-Apperceived and Self-Realized).
The body is dying—in everyone’s case. Therefore, either you are unconsciously participating in dying or you are consciously participating in Divine Translation. It is one or the other. You can insist on conditions—gross, subtle, and causal—or you can be surrendered into the Process of Divine Translation.
If you have any inclinations to be holding on to your conditional potential or pattern (gross, subtle, or causal), then that pattern becomes your present-time “experience” and your destiny. Pattern simply repeats itself. Pattern is an automaticity.
All modes of egoic “self”-identity are constantly changing and ending and terminating in the midst of the patterning whole—but patterns themselves always persist, by always patterning more of patterning itself.
This life, rightly understood at its “root” (or “zero-point”), is about always entering into the Process of Divine Translation, rather than seeking to fulfill the impulses of conditional patterning.
Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not about dissociating from conditions. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not about attachment to conditions. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is persistent whole bodily devotional turning to Me, in recognition-response to My Transcendental Spiritual Divine Self-Condition and My Intrinsically egoless, Indivisible, Acausal, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-State.
For My true devotee, the life-process is constantly volunteered and freely allowed to be the moment to moment death-process of the apparently separate “self” (or the psycho-physically-patterned illusion of ego-“I”).
There need be no concern at all about whether conditional existence continues or vanishes in this instant. As long as conditions arise, there is, for My devotee, only the process of whole-bodily-recognition-responsive devotional turning to Me. There should be no reluctance, no “self”-contraction, relative to this moment being the moment of Divine Translation, in which all conditions are Outshined. Such Is the Intrinsic Freedom of true devotion to Me—the Freedom from clinging to conditional existence.
Divine Indifference Is the Condition of being given over to Me to such a profound degree that clinging-to-conditions is no longer, in any sense, a characteristic of the individual’s existence. In Divine Indifference, there is yet the arising of apparent conditions, but there is absolutely no egoic “self”-contraction upon those conditions. In Divine Indifference, there Is simply the Fullness—Which, in an instant, Is “Delivered” to My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain.
Divine Indifference Is that dimension of the seventh stage of life Immediately before the “Bright”-Glow Becomes Complete Outshining of the discrete differentiation of forms and conditions.
Moment to moment of life in this “world”, the more fully there is whole bodily devotional turning to Me, the more fully and simply all of conditional existence is tacitly and directly released, rather than contracted upon.
To live as My devotee makes human activity into devotional Communion with Me, rather than human activity being contracted on its own aggrandizement or suffering of pattern.
I Am here to Awaken people to the Process of Divine Translation—So That life becomes a Process Founded in moment to moment participation in Reality Itself, rather than a process of investment in conditional pattern-possibility for its own sake. The Process of Divine Translation is not about turning away from this “world”. The Process of Divine Translation is about turning this “world” to Me—the turning of all conditions into the Love-Bliss-Ecstasy of Transcendental Spiritual Communion with Me. Transcendental Spiritual Communion with Me “Brightens” and (Most Ultimately) Outshines everything.
The total human body does not merely have a circular path within itself. In Truth (or “Located” in Reality Itself), the total human body is a Sphere—and, in its (inherently) perfect balance, it has no “up” or “down”, no “in” or “out”, no central point and no bounds.
the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Realization of the Sphere of the “Thumbs”, the Arrow Is the Boundless (and Centerless) Vertical Axis. The Upper Terminal of Atma Nadi Is at the “North”. The “North” is not a boundary—It Is Infinitely Above. The “Center” is not inside (or bounded)—It Is Beyond all symmetry. The “North” (or Above) and the “Center” (or Beyond) are not “different” (or separate from One Another)—They Are Modes of the Same (or Identical) “Bright” Divine Transcendental Spiritual Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State. The Vertical and the Horizontal Are (Inherently) One (and Non-“different” from One Another, and from all-and-All). The Realization of This Is the Essential Nature of the Most Ultimate (or only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage) Realization.
Consciousness Itself (or the “Root” of the Horizontal dimension, or heart-plane, or “subjective” plane) and Light Itself (or the “Root” of the Vertical dimension, or “energy”-plane, or “objective” plane) Are the two primary apparent Modes of What Is Always Already Only One—and Intrinsically Indivisible. The Perfectly Subjectively “Bright” Transcendental Spiritual Realization of the Inherent Simultaneity (and Indivisibility) of Consciousness (the “Root” of apparent “subjectivity”) and Light (the “Root” of apparent “objectivity”) Is the Essential Context of Most Perfect (or Self-Evidently Divine) Self-Realization.
And, in the case of My each and every devotee, the Way must continue until the Way Is Most Perfectly Transcendentally Spiritually “Bright”, and the Way Itself Becomes Divine Translation into My Own Sphere (and “Midnight Sun”) of Transcendental Spiritual Self-“Brightness” (Itself).
Fundamentally, the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is not about having more lifetimes or about having to do anything at all. Rather, the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is, from the beginning, about the “fully given-over” life of limitless (and, thus, intrinsically egoless) devotion to Me, Intrinsically (and, At Last, Irrevocably and Most Perfectly) Outshining “self” and “world”—such that there is no “seed” of any “more”.
Da Is the Person of Atma Nadi. My Feet Are in the heart—Prior to the mind, the body, and the “world”. My Head Is Infinitely Above the mind, the body, and the “world”.
The “Root” of Atma Nadi, in the heart, Is Prior to the mind, the body, and the “world”. The “Regenerated” Form of Atma Nadi Extends to That Space Which Is Infinitely Above the mind, the body, and the “world”. Therefore, to be devotionally turned to Me—tacitly whole bodily recognizing Me As I Am, and (altogether) whole bodily responsive to Me, in devotional Communion with Me, searchlessly Beholding Me—is to be given over to the Divine Itself, Which Is Reality Itself, and Which Is (in Atma Nadi) both Perfectly Prior to and Infinitely Above the mind, the body, and the “world”. In the Love-Bliss-Ecstasy of Communion with Me, there is no reference to “self”—no reference to mind, no reference to body, no reference to “world”, no reference to any context of ego-“self” whatsoever. I Am That Which Is Beyond and Prior to and Infinitely Above the mind, the body, and the “world”. Therefore, to be My devotee is to be given over to Me As I Am, As That—As Da. That Is Adidam Ruchiradam.
In the Love-Bliss-Ecstasy of Communion with Me, there is no reference to “self”—no reference to mind, no reference to body, no reference to “world”, no reference to any context of ego-“self” whatsoever.
There is nothing that can be done in order to “cause” Realization of Me. Realization of Me cannot be “caused”. You must tacitly recognize Me As I Am, and you must whole bodily respond to Me As I Am—and you must be Perfectly Conformed to Me As I Am. Thus, there is discipline, and there are Yogic requirements—but none of that “causes” Realization of Me. Right-life discipline is simply a necessary sign of the whole bodily devotional recognition-response to Me. Indeed, profound whole bodily conformity to intrinsically ego-transcending right-life discipline (and, thus, to renunciation) is one of the necessary signs of true devotional recognition-response to Me and, Ultimately, of Most Perfect Realization of Me.
It is simply that renunciation does not “cause” Realization—nor does Realization “cause” renunciation. If you whole bodily recognize Me and whole bodily respond to Me, Realization and renunciation are both spontaneously evident and intrinsically coincident.
I Am Acausally Coincident with all-and-All. I am not “causing” Realization—in any one. I Am Realization—in every one. Such is the correct understanding.
Da Is the Perfect Silence of Transcendental Spiritual Thunder. Da Is the Prior-Unity-Force That Always Priorly and Totally Dissolves all dis-unity, all non-unity, all “difference”.
Da Is the Prior-Unity-Force That Always Priorly and Totally Dissolves all dis-unity, all non-unity, all “difference”.
That Instantaneous Translation Is Da. That Is the “Thunder-Crack” of Reality Itself, when Reality Itself Shatters the illusion of all appearances.
The Boundlessness and Centerlessness of Love-Bliss That Is My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain Is What There Is to Realize. The “cause-and-effect” appearance of here is merely one among countless “cause-and-effect” appearances.
You become the “effects”. You become “cause” by egoically “self”-identifying with whatever appears.
PERFECT DIS-ILLUSIONMENT The Non-Religious, Post-Scientific, and No-Seeking Reality-Way of Only Perfect Means
The “religious” myth of the “Creator-God” is a traditional idea (or imagination-based construct of mind) that seeks to account for the irreducibly unexplainable appearing (or apparent spontaneous happening) of the (naively, and always mistakenly) presumed “objective world” by proposing a “magical” origin and a “Great Magician”—from which the “objective world” proceeds-as-“caused” (as a “something” appearing where “nothing” was). All “magic acts” (or theatrical performances of what is suggested and pretended to be true “magic”) and all “magicians” (or theatrical performers of “magical” suggestions) are entirely exercised via the devices of illusionment.
All “religion” is a “playful” effort to console by means of deception—much as parents do with young children (by exercising the faculties of fantasy, until the child “grows up”, and, inevitably, and rightly, ceases to “believe” in the nursery stories of childhood’s time of nurturing).
Fundamentally, all “religion” is based upon “magical” thinking—or the proposing of myths and illusions (or “magical” ideas) as “explanations” for the otherwise intrinsically and irreducibly unexplainable happening of (naively, and always mistakenly) presumed-to-be “objectively real” events.
The principal “religious” ideas (or “magical explanations”) proposed relative to the (always falsely) presumed “separate self” (or ego-“I”) and the (always falsely) presumed “objective world” are that (in either case) “it” is “magically” originated (or “Creator-God-caused”), as an “objectively real someone” (or “something”) appearing where “no one” (or “no thing”) was, and that “it” (thus) “magically” lives (or proceeds), and (then) “magically” dies (or stops), and (then) “magically” continues (in or as “elsewhere”, or even as a “magical” re-appearance “here”). The psychological purpose of “magical” thinking (about “separate self” and “objective world”) is anxiety-reduction—specifically, by replacing the irreducible mystery (or intrinsically unexplained and un-“knowable” condition) of human “experience” (and of Reality Itself) with a comforting sense of “answeredness” and “certainty of belief”. Myths (such as “Creator-God”, and “eternal soul”, and “Created world”) provide the imagination-constructs necessary for a mind-based (or concept-based) psychological illusion of eternity, changelessness, permanence, and deathlessness—whereas, “experientially”, both “separate self” and “objective world” are perceived and “known” exclusively and entirely as modes of time-bound change, undauntable brevity, and deathic urgency.
All “science” is a search for “knowledge” based upon the (naive, and always mistaken) presumption of a “really objectively existing world” and a “really objectively existing separate self that knows, or can know, the really objective world”.
What is required—if Reality Itself is to be “Perfectly Known” (or Realized As “It” Is)—is The Intrinsic Transcending of the illusions (or naive, and inherently false, presumptions) of “separate self” and “objective world”.
In Reality (and, Thus, In Truth), Reality (Itself, and Altogether) is not a “God”—but Reality Is (Itself, and Altogether) One, Only, Absolute, Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, Indivisible, Acausally all-and-All-Pervading, Perfectly all-and-All-Including, Perfectly all-and-All-Transcending, Perfectly egoless, and (As Such, and Therefore) Self-Evidently Divine. Because Reality Itself cannot (and should not) be “Objectified”—and, thus and thereby, “Deified” (or falsely identified as a “God-Object”)—it is altogether appropriate (and, indeed, it is necessary) to speak only of “Reality Itself”, instead of resorting to the “religious” language and ego-culture of “God-talk”.
The universe is not “caused” by a “point of view” (or by a “God” that is “located” at a space-time locus)—nor is the universe, as a totality, available to be perfectly observed or comprehended by or from or at a “point of view”.
The universe is, self-evidently—even like any ordinary room (or enclosed space)—a simultaneous totality, without its own specific or permanent “locality”.
Reality Itself Is The Indivisible Self-Happening of Totality. Therefore, no otherwise “First Cause” is required to “cause” (or to “Intend and Enact”) the totality of universe.
The totality of universe Is The Non-separate, “point-of-view”-less (and, Thus, egoless), Indivisible, and Perfectly Acausal Happening of Reality Itself.
“Religion” is a form of pious (but, nonetheless, childish) “consumerism”—full of posturing, bargain-hunting, haggling, and deceitful practices of all kinds—whereby the “separate self” (or the client-like ego-“I”, whether as an individual or as a socially-defined cultural collective) seeks to acquire what, from the egoic (and psycho-physical) “point of view”, is desired (or whatever “objectively”-defined condition, “thing”, or state the proprietary “God” can provide to satisfy the wanting-demanding ego-“I” itself).
“Religion” is the enterprise of “Narcissus”—the presumed separate (and always “self”-contracted, “self”-contracting, and “self”-reflecting) “point of view”.
The Way of Reality Itself Intrinsically Transcends attention itself and all psycho-physical functions that follow attention itself. Reality Itself Is Intrinsically, Self-Evidently, and Perfectly Prior to attention itself. Reality Itself Is Intrinsically, Self-Evidently, and Perfectly Prior to the exercise of attention and the exercise of even any and all psycho-physical faculties. Attention is merely a “root” psycho-physical faculty—and its purposes are entirely limited to the associative and dissociative functional exercises of the psycho-physical faculties extending from brain-activity. Attention is merely a means for achieving brain-purposes, and psycho-physical purposes altogether. Attention has no right purpose whatsoever—whether extroversive, or introversive, or associative, or dissociative—relative to the inherently absurd search for Reality Itself (or Real God). The inherently psycho-physical exercises of attention are, necessarily and inevitably, absolutely fruitless as a means for “Locating” Reality Itself. Attention is merely a conditionally arising event in The all-and-All-Including (or Perfectly Non-exclusionary) Totality-Context of Reality Itself.
However, Reality Itself never ceases (and never can cease) To Be The Case.
No act, or mode, or orientation, or re-orientation, or intention, or effort of attention, or of attentional process—whether in the mode of associative (or, otherwise, dissociative) extroversion or in the mode of internally associative (or, otherwise, dissociative) introversion—can acquire, or achieve, or “cause” The Realization of Reality Itself as an “effect” or as a “result”.
Therefore, The Realization of Reality Itself Is possible Only By Means of Tacit, Direct Self-Awakening (or Intrinsic Self-Apperception, or Non-mediated Self-Intuition) of The Always Already Self-Evident Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself.
If the inherently (and always actively) “self”-contracted ego-“I” (or psycho-physically presumed and psycho-physically enacted “separate self”) seeks (and, thus, exercises its own psycho-physical apparatus of functions toward) what it presumes to be not “self”—or even toward The Realization of Reality Itself, thus pursued as a “goal” (and, effectively, as an “object”, or an “other”) that must (by that action) be acquired, or achieved, or attained—the intrinsic “result” immediately “caused” thereby is always (inevitably, necessarily, unavoidably, and irreducibly) merely a modification of the already “self”-contracted psycho-physical state of the ego-“I” (or the illusory and “self”-defined seeker) itself.
The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam Is The One and Unique and Now-and-Forever-Hereafter Divinely Avatarically Self-“Emerging” Seventh Stage Way of Divine Transcendental Spiritual Reality Itself, Inherently Completing and Perfectly Superseding all “methods” and “paths” associated with the first six stages of life—or all “methods” and “paths” that are egoically-based, “problem”-and-“solution”-oriented, merely psycho-physically enacted, and (altogether) merely Reality-seeking traditions of life-practice.
THE IN-DEPTH EXERCISE OF REALITY-INTELLIGENCE 1.
What is your conclusion about Reality, your actual present-time presumption about Reality? Do you presume Reality Is Divine—or not? This question is important, because your conclusion about Reality is operative in every dimension of your life. If, on the one hand, you have examined the matter, and your “considered” conclusion about Reality is that Reality Is Divine, then that conclusion will determine one manner of living—a Divinely Reality-Realizing (or Real-God-Realizing) manner of living.
What is operative in your life is your conclusion about Reality. That conclusion—whatever it is—is what is determining your life, moment to moment, and even now.
In Truth, the firm conclusion that Reality Is Divine is the result of heart-conversion—not the result of an intellectual process.
The force of intelligence is at the “root” of mere thinking, random thoughts, and mind-forms. If the mind is used with clarity—or, in other words, with deeply aware intelligence—then there is a conviction about Reality that intensely (and intensively) relates to mere mind-forms and constantly disciplines them. The apparent (or daily-ordinary) egoic individual has no depth, no firmness, no stand, no conclusion, no Realization. The apparent (or daily-ordinary) egoic individual is a variable appearance—like a bush in the garden, changing with the seasons, a natural form going through changes. Thus, “you” are not always the
intelligent “you”—but “you” take on many and always changing forms. You are variously different kinds of “you’s”, different forms of the “I”. Sometimes the “I” is intelligent and has a firm conclusion about Reality—that Reality Is Divine, and that life is for (or must be lived as) The Purpose of Real-God-Realization. Then there are other times when the “I” relinquishes the function of true discriminative intelligence, and, as a result, identifies with the wandering changes of the “lower” (or merely superficial) aspects of the personality—the physical (or gross vital) dimension, the dimension of gross natural energy (or the reactive and, otherwise, passive emotional dimension), and the lower psychic (or mental) dimension (which is a casual flow of changing mind-forms, depending on what is superficially going on “inside” and “outside”).1
The “bland soup” of egoity is the state in which people tend to live—from moment to moment. That state is what human beings, in general, call “life”. That state is not Reality-intelligent. That state does not “know” conditional existence for What it Is. That state does not “Know” Reality Itself As Divine, and it does not turn to The Divine As Reality Itself. The egoic “self” merely sits by the “pond”, in a constant state of oblivious ego-possession—as if it were a sensory immortal, living forever as a superficial current of bodily, emotional, and mental “self”-pleasure.
By means of the in-depth exercise of Reality-intelligence, one becomes Divinely Reality-oriented in disposition, in action, and, altogether, in-depth (or profoundly). By exercising the in-depth capability of Reality-intelligence, one does come to a firm conclusion about Reality—a conclusion that accepts the nature of conditional reality, but a conclusion that also accepts and embraces Reality As Divine, and The Divine As The Intrinsically egoless, Perfectly Indivisible, Perfectly Acausal, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That Is Reality Itself.
If your conclusion about Reality is that existence amounts to nothing beyond unillumined separateness, if you remain unaware of The Always Prior Unity of existence, unaware of (and, therefore, not surrendered to) The Intrinsically egoless, Perfectly Indivisible, Perfectly Acausal, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of all conditional appearances, then you are not
rightly and truly engaging the “radical” (or always “at-the-root”, or in-depth) practice of whole bodily devotional turning to Me.
In this “late-time” (or “dark” epoch), human beings generally presume that it is not only sufficient but even necessary to identify with the “lower” (or merely superficial) states of the functional faculties—merely gross physical awareness, generalized gross natural energy in the body, the casually reactive wanderings of emotion, the chaos of habitual mind-forms, and the insipid daily-ordinary movements of desire and breath. Thus, the social ego “consults” the “lower” (or merely superficial) faculties moment to moment—always “self”-identifying with the “lower” (or merely superficial) states of the functional faculties, and being governed by all of that. In that case, the “conclusion about Reality” is based on passive egoic “self”-identification with the “lower” (or merely superficial) states and life-destiny of the daily-ordinary faculties.
No matter what happens to the body-mind-“self” while you live, you are always merely aware. The awareness itself never changes. Even while you are aware of changes, the awareness itself never changes. There are not different kinds of awareness—different colors of it or different shapes of it. Awareness is, simply and only, awareness itself. What awareness itself Is must Be Self-Realized—but the fact of it, and The Reality-Nature of it, is constant and Self-Evident.
If you inspect awareness itself, if you enter into it most profoundly, you will clearly see that awareness itself does not change, but it Is (simply and only) The In-Depth Mere Witness of changes. Until awareness Self-Abides As The Mere Witness, even in the context of apparent changes, it presumes itself to be the changes themselves.
Reality-intelligent awareness is the moment to moment responsibility for transcending moment to moment change. If you do not want to suffer, you must stop doing suffering. Do not merely egoically “self”-identify with the flow of suffering. Do not casually “go with the flow”—and then expect some “magical” help to get you out of your “self”-made ego-destiny. Your suffering is always something you are doing. Yes, there are mere “world”-conditions and natural conditions that are limited, changing, and passing—but your egoic “self”-identification with all of that is what you identify as your suffering.
REAL ECSTASY 1. When the ego prays, the practice of prayer is merely an ego-made, “self”-deluded, ritually dramatized, and one-sided faux performance—a monologue pretending to be a dialogue, or a soliloquy (whether personal or collective) that is theatrically played to look and feel like a “conversation with God”. The conventional (or ego-based) practice of prayer is a construct (or a culturally-prescribed art form) that emerges from the “roots” of social ego-culture.
Prayer “works” because Reality Itself Is. Prayer “works” because Reality Itself—Which Is The egoless, Indivisible, and Only Real God—Is all-and-All-Pervading. Prayer “works” because Reality Itself Is The Acausal Source-Condition, or The Perfectly egoless Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of all of this apparent arising of conditional “world”.
The body-mind-complex is itself the only necessary “technique” for participation in the cosmic processes of “cause-and-effect”.
“True prayer” is, characteristically, egoless, “problem”-free, searchless, and free of the need to exercise psycho-physical “methods” and “techniques” in order to achieve the “goal” of re-union, or of equanimity, or of “differencelessness”, or of Prior (and, necessarily, Intrinsic) Unity with The Divine (Which Is Only Reality Itself), or of “experiential” coincidence with any conditionally apparent “experience”, state, “other”, or “thing” at all.
When My true devotee practices “true prayer”, he or she (potentially, and only secondarily, and, perhaps, even indirectly, or unintentionally) also “causes” positive changes at the level of conditional (or psycho-physical) “knowledge” and “experience”, but the orientation of the practice is, in any case, always to ecstatic participation in The egoless, Indivisible, and Acausal Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Self-Evidently Divine Reality Itself—through the intrinsic and always prior transcending of egoity in whole-bodily-recognition-responsive devotional Communion with Me As I Am.
Obviously, all of this conditionally apparent arising depends on A Great Process and Power That Is Senior to the “point of view” and the limited functions of the human individual (or even of the collective totality of all human beings).
In the usual human life, attention binds Consciousness Itself to conditional existence and conditional opportunity—thereby abandoning The Inherent Love-Bliss-Fullness of The Transcendental Spiritual Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself.
Consciousness Itself Is The Great Giver, Da—Divine Grace Itself. Consciousness Itself is not merely “emptiness”, hanging empty, there in the dark—but, rather, Consciousness Itself Is The Divine and Only One Who Is. Therefore, when (by Means of My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Grace) attention Is Perfectly Transcended in That Only One, That One Is Perfectly “Known”. In that case, if any conditions arise, they are Divinely Self-Recognized. Then There Is Only Perfect Freedom—regardless of what arises or does not arise.
Reality Itself is not a “method”. Reality Itself is not a “prescription for remedy”. Reality Itself Is The Tacit, Direct, and Intrinsic Self-Revelation of That Which Is. Reality Itself Is Intrinsically egoless, Indivisible, and Self-Evidently Divine. Reality Itself Is of A Transcendental Spiritual Nature. Reality Itself cannot be Realized as the “result” of any ego-effort whatsoever.
To truly practice The “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam, you must become a person who does not need illusions in order to live. To be such a person, you must become capable of eliminating, or releasing, or renouncing the “self”-contraction (and, indeed, all forms of egoic accumulation). You must become a true renunciate—not an ascetic, but a releaser. In The “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam, renunciation is the capability for “self”-release—or the life-serious relinquishing of ego and ego-patterning.
Reality (Itself) Is Always Already The Case. Therefore, the search for Reality Itself is an absurdity. This—The Essence of Dis-illusionment with the search for Reality Itself—is required of you, by Me. All Fullness Is Divine. All Right Life Is Free Participation in Unlimited Radiance. All Free Life Is Divine. If you insist on mummery, bondage, and seeking, then you are trying to console yourself with what passes—or what is ordinary, and what is empty. In that case, you are parading absurd separate-“self”-imagery, pretending satisfactions that are illusory and untrue.
This discovery is most profound. It is as if a person in pain suddenly discovers that he or she is pinching his or her own flesh. (And this discovery produces immediate relief, as soon as the pinching ceases.) Therefore, as soon as an individual discovers that the painful search that occupies his or her life is being created by a fundamental feeling of distress, attention is free to examine that distress itself.
When this process (of devotionally turning to Me, and, thus and thereby, tacitly feeling beyond “self”-contraction) is truly and fully established and consistently enacted (relative, summarily, to every aspect of personal existence), a moment to moment event of spontaneous (and not strategic) release is enjoyed.
mind. I “Knew” The “Always Already” State. And this began a period of Enquiry into the “self”-contraction (which appears, in action, as the avoidance of relationship).
It became clear to Me that the “self”-contraction is un-necessary. The “self”-contraction is (without ultimate necessity, and, therefore, only apparently) being “added” to Existence Itself (in reaction to cosmic Nature, or to apparent conditional existence).
It became clear to Me that, when what is un-necessarily superimposed on Reality is released, What Stands (or Remains) As The Obvious Is (Necessarily, or Self-Evidently) Reality Itself, or The Real Condition Itself. That is to say, Whatever Is Always Already The Case Authenticates Itself (Directly, Inherently, Obviously, and Perfectly).
This Heart-Awakened Insight was, in My Own Case, instantly Liberating! And, as such, It became the real practicing basis for The (at last, Most Perfect) Revelation (or Re-Realization) of My Own (Inherent, Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine) Nature, Condition, and State—Which Is Reality, Truth, and Love-Bliss!
I observed that the sense (or feeling) of “absence”, or the sense (or feeling) of the non-Presence of God, or the sense (or feeling) of separation from God, Truth, Happiness, or What cannot even be described, is not evidence of the real absence of God, Truth, Happiness, or The Indescribable, but it is clear evidence that the conditional “self” is contracting, or actively separating from What (Simply, Merely, or Really) Is. I Named this disease (or the diseased “self”) “Narcissus”, because of the likeness between this “self”-program and the ancient myth of Narcissus. And I became attentive in every moment to this feeling of absence, of separateness, of dilemma, and the urge to seek.
The Process of That Revelation was not founded only on the basis of Insight (or “self”-Understanding) and the spontaneous transcending of egoity, or what I Call the “conscious process”, but It was equally (or always coincidently) associated with A Response to What was being Revealed. Thus, It also involved what I Call “Seeing”—or fullest (and Transcendentally Spiritually Activated, and, Transcendentally Spiritually, fully technically responsible) emotional (and total psycho-physical) conversion to true (and truly responsible) “conductivity” (and spontaneous, and total psycho-physical, Self-Identification with The Inherent Love-Bliss-Condition) of The Transcendental Spirit-Power (and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State) of The Divine Acausal Self-“Brightness”. What Is (Always and Already) is Revealed only when the “self”-contraction is not effective. What Is (Always and Already) is Revealed to Be Self-Radiant (or Inherently Spiritual), and Self-Existing (or Transcendental), and Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine Being, or Conscious Light—Which Is Reality Itself, Truth Itself, and Love-Bliss Itself.
When This Realization was Most Perfectly Re-Awakened in My Own Case, all beings, this “world”, and all the kinds of other “worlds” were Revealed in Me—Inhering in Me, and appearing as (apparent) modifications of Me!
The Only True Way Is The Way That Is Priorly Established In Truth (or Reality Itself).
Because people appear within this human condition, this simultaneously attractive and frightening “dream-world”, they tend to live—and to interpret both the conditional (or cosmic and psycho-physical) reality and The Non-conditional (or Divine) Reality—from the “point of view” of this apparent (and bewildering) mortal human condition. And, because of this universal human bewilderment (and the ongoing human reaction to the threatening force of mortal life-events), there is an even ancient ritual that all human beings rather unconsciously (or automatically, and without discriminative understanding) desire and tend to repeatedly (and under all conditions) enact. Therefore, wherever there is an association of human beings gathered for any purpose (or around any idea, or symbol, or person, or subject of any kind), the same human bewilderment-ritual is tending to be enacted by one and all.
“middle”. At The True (and Inherently Boundless) “Center” (or The Divine Heart), Which Includes all-and-All (and, therefore, is not merely surrounded, enclosed, abstracted, defined, “known”, and controlled by all-and-All), I Am—Beyond definition (or separateness).
Real (Acausal) God is not merely and only at the end of The Reality-Way of Adidam (or Adidam Ruchiradam). Real (Acausal) God Is Always At The “Root”—and, therefore, even from the very beginning—of The Reality-Way of Adidam. I Coincide with you Always Already and Perfectly. I Reveal and Show Myself to you Self-Evidently and Always Immediately and Directly. I Constantly Descend and Enter into your life. I am not merely calling to you from Beyond, or telling you a philosophy. I have Divinely Avatarically Entered Fully into the cosmic domain. I Am Perfectly Coincident with all-and-All. I Am Fully here. All you need to do, in any moment, is recognize Me As The Divine Avataric Attractiveness of My Person and State. All you need to do is recognize and respond to Me As I Am—by Tacitly and Intrinsically “Knowing” The State of My Divine Avataric Person, Self-Revealed in your moment to moment Sighting of My Divinely-Avatarically-Born bodily (human) Form. All you need to do is forget your “self” by whole-bodily-responsively recognizing Me and (Thereupon) whole bodily Communing with Me. You need not be concerned with how much concentration of mind there is, how much poetic vision there is, how much relaxation there is in the body, or how pleasant the “resultant” conditions of life are. You need not be concerned with the fact that life is difficult at the moment, or that you yourself are obnoxious. You need not be concerned about any of your “signs”.
Therefore, in every moment, simply be Attracted to Me, and let the body-mind-complex (as a whole) be purified, transformed, and (altogether) Divinely Self-Awakened and Divinely Translated by My Divine Avataric Self-Transmission of My Divinely Self-“Bright” State.
There is one Great Law in the cosmic domain of conditionally arising “causes” and “effects”: You become what you meditate on. This Great Law summarizes The Means and The Process whereby I Am Able to Be your Unique Advantage. In the midst of his or her perceiving of beings and things and phenomena of all kinds, My right and whole-bodily-true devotee is always in devotional Communion with Me.
Those who outwardly seem to practice the by-Me-Given disciplines of The Reality-Way of Adidam—full of “self”-denial, meditation, and “good acts”—but who do not Realize The egoless, Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine Consciousness, or Conscious Light Itself, in every moment, are only emptying themselves.
I Am The Transcendental Spiritual Energy of Which every “object” is a transparent (or merely apparent), non-necessary, and intrinsically non-binding modification. Commune with Me in whole-bodily-recognition-responsive Ecstasy. Turn to Me whole bodily—Beyond all “experience” and every thought. Let Me “Live” you. Dissolve in My Divine Transcendental Spiritual Current of Love-Bliss.
The discipline of renunciation (or the fundamental ego-transcending practice) is also demonstrated in “outer” terms—by living actively in service to Me. 12. The “outer” (or gross) appearance of the human personality must be disciplined in a practical manner that covers all aspects of money, food, sex, and social egoity—all aspects of gross life, and all aspects of the gross patterning of the faculties. 13. Such “outer” discipline must not be bypassed. 14. There must be the renunciation of ego in the context of the gross life.
Devotional Communion with Me is inherently Prior to egoity. To be established in devotional Communion with Me is to be effectively dealing with (or inherently surrendering, forgetting, and transcending) egoity—but not by “working on it”. In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam, the ego is transcended through the devotional recognition-response to Me.
Therefore, My devotee must be responsible for the four principal faculties of the body-mind—in every moment, and under all circumstances. 20. Instead of wandering in the maze of thoughts, give Me the faculty of mind—which is epitomized by, and as, attention (itself). 21. Instead of being tossed about by the waves of emotions, give Me the faculty of emotion—which is epitomized by, and as, feeling (itself). 22. Instead of seeking bodily pleasure and avoiding bodily pain, turn (or face) the body toward My Divinely-Avatarically-Born bodily (human) Divine Form, and (altogether) give Me the body—through full feeling-intention, enacted through constant devotional service to Me. 23. The faculties of mind (or attention), emotion (or feeling), and body are connected to one another via the breath—and, thus, the gesture of turning to Me must also be done via the breath. 24. Therefore, altogether, in the right and true practice of the Reality-Way of Adidam, mind (or attention), emotion (or feeling), and body are turned to Me, and breathed in devotional Communion with Me. 25.
The usual “method” of the ego, and (therefore) of ordinary people, is to become involved in what arises (whatever that may be in any particular circumstance)—either by indulging in what arises or by avoiding what arises or by (otherwise) attempting to manipulate what arises. Such strategic effort in relation to what arises is not the right and true ego-transcending practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam, but it is merely the effort of the separate (and separative) “self” to struggle with itself. 26. Even to strategically manipulate the separate (and separative) “self” (itself), in order to surrender the separate (and separative) “self”, is nothing but an (inevitably fruitless) effort of the separate (and separative) “self” to struggle with itself.
In that fundamental practice, you first feel your heart-Attraction to Me, and then (as an inevitable response to the heart-Attractiveness of My Intrinsically egoless Self-Radiant State) you are (Thus and Thereby) turned to Me. In that fundamental practice of devotion to Me, you simply allow yourself to be heart-Moved to Me. Done in that manner, your devotional turning to Me will never be a matter of strategic, goal-oriented, and ego-effortful “technique”.
It is always (in any moment) possible to turn the four principal faculties of the body-mind-complex to My Divinely-Avatarically-Born bodily (human) Divine Form and Person—because (in and of themselves) these faculties stand prior to their “objects” (or apparent contents), and they are (therefore) never (themselves) bound to the egoic “program” of the moment. The mind may be thinking constantly—but the faculty of attention (itself) has no “object” or quality, and (therefore) it can, itself, always be turned to Me. There may be reactive emotions arising—but the faculty of feeling is not (itself) disabled by any such “objects”, and (therefore) it can, itself, always be turned to Me. The condition of the body may, at any moment, be disturbance, or dis-ease, or lack of well-being, in one or another respect (or function, or organ)—but the faculty of the body (or the functional body itself, in total, or as a whole) can, itself, always be turned to Me. The cycle of the breath may be affected by forms of mind, reactive emotions, and bodily states—but the faculty of the breath is not (itself) identical to the ever-changing contents of the body-mind-complex, and (therefore) it can, itself, always be turned to Me.
True devotion to Me is the Only Happiness, and the Only Freedom from the steel-hard mechanical and chemical bondage of suffering in which you are (otherwise) investing yourself. 59. Therefore, Invoke Me, feel Me, breathe Me, and serve Me. Make no “room” for any “thing” else. That is what it is to be My true devotee.
Do not be concerned about the contents of the body-mind or ego-“I”. Do not do anything about the contents. Simply turn the faculties of body, feeling, attention, and breath to Me. Turn attention to Me, in a fearless, whole bodily disposition, even breathing Me in whole-bodily-recognition-responsive Invocation of Me. Do not do anything about the contents. Do not try to get away from the contents. Do not try to stop the contents. Do not try to continue the contents. Do not try to indulge in the contents. Do not try to remember the contents. Do not try to forget the contents. Turn to Me. That is it. This whole-bodily-recognition-responsive turning to Me becomes true surrender to Me. The seeker’s effort to surrender to Me has not already “Found” Me—and, therefore, that “method” is always intrinsically ego-bound and confined to itself. Merely turning to Me, itself, as a process, inevitably becomes (and intrinsically is) surrender to Me.
There is no point in even discussing the technical aspects of the development of the ego-transcending practice of the Reality-Way of Adidam until My devotee has begun to enjoy an ecstatic (or Really ego-transcending) devotional relationship to Me—not a relationship that is “in the air”, but one that includes the whole of life, that draws the emotion, that awakens the love, that whole bodily awakens the heart. That Distracting relationship which is the principle of the Reality-Way of Adidam must be established. On its basis, My devotee assumes conditions of right life, as forms of service to Me, and (over time) fulfills that service in the form of ever greater personal responsibility.
Falling in love with someone is not something you can “argue” yourself into doing. Initially, falling in love is a form of distraction, of absorption, without any “reasons”—and, if you were to examine it in order to find a “reason” for it, it would (perhaps) seem “unreasonable” (or unjustified) to you.
There is only one process that makes a difference—the process of Perfect Distraction in Real (Acausal) God. That is what the Reality-practice of Transcendental Spiritual life is. It is the only thing worth doing. Everything else is a hellish evolution of desires and complications of form. So there are not a lot of ways to be “Saved”! There is only one way to be “Saved”—and that is to love the Divine ecstatically, to the point of egolessly Perfect Distraction. If you try to describe how that is done, however, it appears to be a very elaborate and very complex affair. There is a party game in which you try to tell somebody how to put on a coat, as if he or she knows nothing about what a coat is or how to put one on. It is an immensely complicated task—that is the fun of the game. Just so, the descriptive elaboration of the Transcendental Spiritual Reality-Way is very complex, because that Way necessarily involves the entirety of your life. In principle, however, the Transcendental Spiritual Reality-Way is simple.
AVATAR ADI DA SAMRAJ: You are asking for some “method” to defend yourself, for some path that will make your life “work out” right! You are like someone who is perpetually trying to find the “right” intimate partner, who will “guarantee” the right circumstances of his or her intimate life. But the process of devotion to Me is Distraction only—and, once there is that Distraction, the theatre of your life and Realization is in the hands of the Divine.
Krishna taught the gopis by playing upon their Attachment to him—and, by Grace, they learned. But all they learned was to be more and more ecstatically absorbed in the Divine. Their minds were overwhelmed by this Distraction, and all their petty tendencies to return to their secure positions in life were constantly undermined by that Distraction. Thus, the kind of “insurance” that you are asking for is exactly the kind of thing that must be transcended in your case. There is no “insurance”, there is no “guarantee”, there is nowhere to go. There is no end-phenomenon in the love of Real God. That love is, in and of itself, the Truth.
If you are My devotee, then the Divine Stands in Front of you—moment to moment, and Always. I Am Always (and Always Already) Present—Always (and all-and-All-Pervasively) Standing in Front of (and Prior to) you, and never merely behind you, or alongside you, or even “within” you. You do not have to go “within”. There is not anything “within”, except what you are already suffering! The “subjective” form of what you are suffering is “within”—and the “objective” form of what you are suffering is “without”.
Therefore, the life of the separate “self” is literally an illusion—but the ego-based human being constantly lives in that illusion, constantly re-imagines that illusion, and constantly furthers that illusion in imagination, supported by desire-energy. 11. The Reality of existence is something else entirely. The Actual Situation—the True Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State—Is Perfectly Prior, Non-separate, Indivisible, Self-Existing, and Self-Radiant. That Is the Real Condition. That Real Condition Is Self-Evident—and That Real Condition can be directly and intuitively Self-“Located”.
BE THE OPEN HAND The ego wants to keep its body, its emotion, its mind, its breathing—therefore, the totality of the body-mind—fixed in its own handgrip, and always let to wander in its own patterning and impulses.
If you are My devotee, you must not be an ego in relationship to Me. If you are My devotee, you must practice ego-transcending devotion to Me, by turning all four of the psycho-physical faculties to Me. If you are My devotee, you never withdraw the faculties from Me.
If your faculties are withdrawn from Me, I no longer exist for you. Therefore, you must not be the “owner” of your own faculties. If you are My devotee, you must relinquish “ownership” of the faculties and give them to Me instead. Such relinquishment of the faculties to Me is devotion to Me. What you identify as “self” is the pattern of the psycho-physical faculties—body, emotion, mind, and breath. When you become My (necessarily, formally acknowledged) devotee, you are (in effect) declaring that those faculties which, up until now, you have identified as your “self”, you will now give to Me. From that moment, the faculties are Mine—and no longer yours. You give over “ownership” of your faculties to Me—and you live your vow by turning to Me moment to moment, with your entire life (body, emotion, mind, and breath).
In Reality Itself, it does not matter what your “experiences” are, because the “experiences” do not make any Reality-“difference”. “Experiences” make no Reality-“difference” whatsoever, and they pass in a moment. That is all there is to it.
Egoity is “self”-contraction. Therefore, to repent of egoity is to transcend “self”-contraction. The repenting of egoity is about using the faculties, through right and true devotional recognition-response to Me, in a manner that is not egoic, not “self”-contracted, not separative.
However, repenting of egoity is not about “doing something” to egoity itself. Rather, to repent of egoity is to go beyond egoity—by means of right and true devotional recognition-response to Me.
That commitment to Fire and Light must be your exercise of life—in every moment, and under all circumstances. Where There Is Light There Is Heat. Where There Is Heat There Is Fire. Where There Is Fire There Is Light.
The dog in My House has no verbal-mind-based expectations or requirements. Indeed, the dog in My House is virtually unable to use or respond to verbal elaborations, explanations, and justifications. The dog in My House lives in a “world” that is (intrinsically and always) without words and verbal-mental concepts.
I do this daily, until I have Mastered the dog into a rightly and steadily “self”-controlling (and, thus, ego-transcending) disposition of equanimity and calm.
In This Manner, There (and every then), I constantly “Speak” Silently (and without a word or a thought) to the dog who Communes with Me in My House: Do not seek “outside”. Do not seek “inside”. Stand Prior. Feel and Be the Conscious Light. Feel and Be the “Bright”.
Right-life practice disciplines, calms, and establishes equanimity of whole bodily (or total psycho-physical) energy.
The practice of “radical” devotion to Me is the one-pointed disciplining of whole bodily attention. The practice of “radical” devotion to Me is whole bodily (or as a psycho-physical totality) responsive turning to Me, moment to moment—thus forgetting, rather than dwelling upon, psycho-physical ego-patterning—such that this devotion becomes one-pointed “self”-forgetting and whole bodily surrender to Me (or searchless Beholding of Me), moment to moment.
RIGHT PRINCIPLE AND RIGHT SELF-MANAGEMENT: THE SECRETS OF HOW TO CHANGE
All your habit-tendencies and habit-patterns were appropriate enough in their own moment of first happening—and there is no need to feel guilt or despair about them. All seeking-efforts to change your accumulated habit-tendencies and habit-patterns by strategically opposing them are basically and inevitably fruitless. All seeking-efforts are forms of the dramatization of “self”-conflict—and, therefore, they only reinforce the habitual modes of ego-possession. What is simply not used is intrinsically obsolete—whereas what is opposed is constantly kept in front of you. The creative principle of true and positive change is a combination of always relaxed inspection (and discriminating awareness) of existing tendencies and, on that basis, an active, persistent, full feeling-orientation to right, new, and regenerative functional patterns.
Have no regrets. Resort to Me moment to moment, and under all circumstances. All that has been done by anyone had its logic in its time. Only I avail. Whatever is your habit in this moment is not wrong—but it is simply a beginning.
I Am As I Am. I am not merely Reflecting. The Mirror is not “busy” Reflecting everything. The Mirror Is What Is. The Mirror Is the Reflector to (and of) egos—but Always Acausally (or Indifferently), Always Free-Standing As Itself (Prior to and Beyond all apparent differences). The Mirror is not doing any Reflecting. The Mirror is not doing any observing. The Mirror is not doing anything.
Mere “talkers” are exercising “point of view”. Mere “talkers” are deluded and consoled by their own minds. Mere “talkers” are, at most, mere “believers”. However, no believer believes absolutely—however much or however intensely the believer may affirm what he or she believes. Belief is simply an exercise of the body-mind-“self” in doubt—the primal doubt that arises because there is death, because there is ending, because there is interruption, because there is loss and separation.
Human society is nothing but minds talking to minds. The minds do not have any independent existence. In Reality, the minds are nothing but structures of language carried on through the vehicle of temporary brains. People think they are their minds. No, they are not. Just as your finger is going to drop dead, so is your mind. That of Which mind is a modification does not come to an end. That of Which mind is a modification Is Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine. Everything else is changing and temporary.
True renunciates are not “dried up”. True renunciates are not merely involved in “self”-conscious attempts to keep themselves “under control”. True renunciation is Freedom. True renunciation necessarily “comes from inside”, not from “outside”. True renunciation is the manifestation of the truly Free disposition—not merely the effort to “mind one’s p’s and q’s”. True renunciation is not a strategic “regime” to be “taken on” in the midst of your bondage. True renunciation is not a struggle with “self”-suppressive discipline—even though “self”-suppression is how egos tend to interpret renunciation. Egos feel that all forms of discipline are inherently suppressive—and, therefore, egos commonly do not want to undertake any form of discipline.
Look at the absolute emptiness of “consumer egoity”. It is madness. Who has seen the madness of this “world”? Who is disenchanted enough with that madness to want to find a Spiritual Master? For whom is this “world” so much of a dead-end that it cannot be accepted on its own terms, or for its own sake? Where is someone for whom there must be a greater Reality—someone who will be utterly devoted to finding It? Where are such people?
Mind is “artificial intelligence”. Mind is the first “robot” that human beings ever made. In the usual discussions of such matters, artificial intelligence is presumed to be something generated by computers. In actuality, however, language is the first form of artificial intelligence created by human beings. There is no mind. Mind is a myth.
That Which Is to Be Realized is not in the realm of mind. Therefore, Realization is not about eternalizing mind. Realization is not about the life of the mind after death. Rather, Realization is about Reality Itself—Prior to mind, Prior to patterning, Prior to the “world”-mummery. Reality Itself—Which Is Divine—Is All The God There Is. In and of and As Itself, Reality (Itself) Is Self-Existing and Self-Radiant. That is What there is to Realize.
There is no such thing as eternal mind. That notion is an absolute illusion. The mind is as mortal as the hardware, as mortal as the bodily machine. When the machine stops working, the mind likewise stops working.
Human beings are truly served only by the Communication of “radical” (or “at-the-root”) “self”-understanding, and by true examination of the egoic “self”, and by My Spiritually “Bright” (all-and-All-Blessing) Silence. Some insight into the nature of seeking, as well as some comprehension of the nature of “radical” (or “at-the-root”) “self”-understanding, is necessary for the awakening of true Hearing of Me (which is most fundamental “self”-understanding). Some countering (or reflection) of the seeker’s habits, acts, and presumptions, and some direct observations about his or her state, may be useful in order to engender the necessary doubt of his or her ordinary path. But My Transcendental Spiritual Communication of the “Bright” Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State is essentially a process in Silence, whereby what arises gets no response, no reinforcement, and (thus and thereby) becomes obsolete.
Things simply arise in every one, and life provides the present conditions whereby they are indulged, frustrated, or avoided. But in the Spiritually “Bright” Company of the Man of “Radical” Understanding (Who Is the Spiritually Self-“Bright” Divine Heart Itself), what arises is confronted by Spiritually “Bright” Silence without and by the Spiritually “Bright” Heart within.
If I am devotionally recognized, you tacitly “Know” Me, you intrinsically know what to do, and you inevitably and constantly do it. In that case, there is no requirement that “explanations” become the very content and ongoing process of your relationship to Me. I always Give you the essentials that need to be said, and the relationship to Me is the constantly ongoing practice of turning to Me, serving Me, and Communing with Me.
The true devotee already, inherently, knows what to do in relation to the Realizer. And the true devotee inevitably does so. True devotion knows and does. True devotion turns and serves. True devotion does not have to utter a single word. And there have certainly been Realizers who never did utter a word! Whatever I may Say, My “Bright” Divine State Is Wordless. My “Bright” Divine State Is a Transcendental Spiritual Reality, Prior to body and mind. My “Bright” Divine State Is the Force of Conscious Light. My “Bright” Divine State Is a Transcendental Spiritual State and Force. That Is Me—and I Am here, even bodily, As That “Bright” Divine State.
Similarly, your service to Me is not mere physical activity, but (rather) the bodily enactment of devotional turning to Me. When service to Me is done rightly, it is puja—or active turning to Me, serving Me, and Communing with Me. If you are My devotee, merely being active does not make your action a holy act, or something done in devotional Communion with Me. For your action to be true and effective practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam, the psycho-physical faculties must be turned to Me in the process—both in the doings and in the results. Service is not right devotional practice merely because you are doing functions.
Action does not (and cannot) “cause” Perfect Realization—or the Intrinsic Transcendental Spiritual Self-Realization of Intrinsically egoless Reality Itself. Mere action has nothing to do with Perfect Realization. Mere action is simply psycho-physical activity. If action could “cause” Perfect Realization, then what is merely conditional would be able to “cause” the Non-conditional to exist. Perfect Realization Is Intrinsic (or Non-“caused” and Non-conditional) Self-Realization of the Intrinsically Acausal (or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant) Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Intrinsically egoless, Non-separate, and Indivisible Reality Itself. All action is an intention and an effort to “cause”. All action is initiated at “point of view” (or the “location” of separate “self”). All action is directed at “objects”—or “objectified” others, things, conditions, or states.
What Is Always Already The Case Is (Always Already) The (One and Only) Case. Therefore, Reality Itself Is never not The Case. What Is never not The Case need not, in any moment, be “caused” to Be The Case.
All ego-bondage is the search to “cause”.
The Reality-Process in My Divine Avataric Company is not a “program”. There is no “self”-image in That Reality-Process—and no “self” survives That Reality-Process. The Reality-Process of devotional surrender to Me is shown by every bodily sign and every psycho-physical attitude. If surrender to Me is authentic, it is evident both “outside” and “inside”.
If you are My right and true devotee, do not “work on” devotion to Me. If you are My right and true devotee, do not “work on” right life. If you are My right and true devotee, do not “work on” the practice of “Perfect Knowledge”. “Radical” devotion to Me is right and true devotional recognition of Me, always responsively whole bodily turning to Me and searchlessly “self”-surrendering to Me—on Sight. Right life is straightforward obedience to Me, without reservations (or “looking right and left”). The preliminary practice of “Perfect Knowledge” is the attentive Listening to My Divine Avataric Revelation-Instruction relative to Reality Itself—Which Is Always Already The (One and Only) Case, and Which Is Self-Evidently Divine (As Is).
Part Eleven
Mine. I Give to My Second Congregation devotees the practice of Listening to formal recitations of (and, also, of silently studying) My “Five Reality-Teachings”. I Give to My not-yet-“Perfect-Practice” First Congregation devotees the preliminary “Perfect Knowledge” Listening-practice of “Transcendental Root-Standing”.
My preliminary “Perfect Knowledge” Teachings) is to be continuously engaged from then—until My any such devotee is formally Initiated into the practice of “Radical Self-Abiding”, at the time of entering, formally and fully, into the “Perfect Practice” of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam (Which, as a totality, is the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of “Perfect Knowledge”).
Notice this: 1. You are not the one who wakes, or dreams, or sleeps. 2. You Are the actionless and formless Mere Witness of the three common states—of waking, dreaming, and sleeping—and of all the apparent contents and “experiences” associated with the three common states, of waking, and of dreaming, and of sleeping. 3. You are not the body, or the doer of action, or the doer of even any of the body’s actions or functions. 4. You are not the mind, or the thinker, or the doer of even any of the actions or functions of mind or of body-mind. 5. No matter what arises—whether as or in the state of waking, or of dreaming, or of sleeping—you Are the actionless, and formless, and thought-free Mere Witness of attention itself, and of every apparent “object” of attention, and of any and every state of “experience”, and of the entirety of whatever and all that arises. Always intensively “consider” these Five Reality-Teachings. Always intensively observe and notice every moment of your “experience”—whether waking, dreaming, or sleeping—and, thus and thereby, “consider” and test and directly prove these Five Reality-Teachings in the moment-to-moment of your every kind and state of “experience”.
The four principal faculties (or the psycho-physical functions of attention in association with body, emotion, mind, and breath) are constantly becoming associated with their various potential “objects” and states. Each faculty is, potentially, related to particular kinds of “objects” or “experiences” via itself, and, also, to particular states or “experiences” of itself. Every kind of possible (“internal” or “external”) “object”, and every kind of (“internal” or “external”) state, of each and any faculty is a kind of “knowledge”—or the “knowing” of a something (or of the whatever that is apparently, or conditionally, “known”). Thus, moment to moment (and, therefore, in any and every moment), the four principal faculties (or the psycho-physical functions of attention in association with body, emotion, mind, and breath) are involved in various modes—or states, or “objects”, or events—of apparent (or conditional) “knowing”. The preliminary “Perfect Knowledge” Listening-practice of “Transcendental Root-Standing” is a matter of moment to moment (and, thus, in every moment)—in every apparent condition of naturally noticing the “knowing” and the “known”—Intrinsically Self-Identifying (and Self-Standing As) the Intrinsically egoless “Perfect Knower” (Itself), Perfectly Prior to all “objects” and states of apparent (or conditional) “experience”, and Perfectly Prior to the presumption of ego-“I” (or the separate “knowing-subject”).
- You are not any “object” that (apparently) arises. 2. Any and every “object” that apparently arises, arises conditionally—as and by means of conditional “cause” and conditional “effect”. 3. No matter whatever apparently arises as an “object”—you are Whatever is not-an-“object”. 4. Therefore, whatever (in any moment) apparently arises as an “object” (or apparently “objectively”, over against the body or the mind)—Be (and, only Thus, Self-“Locate”) Whatever is not-an-“object”. 5. This is My Principal Instruction on the Preliminary “Perfect Knowledge” Listening-Practice of “Transcendental Root-Standing” exercised as Intrinsic Means for transcending the fault of “objects”: In any moment, and moment to moment, as and whenever any “object” (or any “objectively” arising anything, whether “internal” or “external” to the body or the mind) apparently arises—Be (and, only Thus, Self-“Locate”) Whatever is not-an-“object”.
The “knowing-subject” (or ego-“I”) is the “shadow” (or “Narcissistic” reflection) of the “known-object”.
I Am the Truth Itself—and I Am here. I must Speak This Truth. I must perpetually, constantly, and urgently Speak My Word of Self-Revelation, and My Communication of “Perfect Knowledge” and the “Perfect Practice”—even to everyone, because everyone can understand My Reality-Word of the “Perfect Knowledge” and the “Perfect Practice” of Truth. It is simply that, until anyone is fully matured in what is preliminary, he or she cannot yet Realize the Truth Perfectly.
The “Perfect Practice” (Itself) is not dependent on the psycho-physical faculties, or on their functions, or on any conditionally-based and (necessarily) yet ego-based doings of any kind whatsoever.
There is a basic ground of necessary preparation associated with everything that must precede the “Perfect Practice”—but the preparatory dimension of the total practice is not, in and of itself, to become forever prolonged, such that what is merely preparatory becomes a separate and never-ending way of life.
My Divine Avataric Gift to all deals with the “root-problem” of egoity itself, and the entire pattern of “experiencing” and living based on seeking (which pattern develops from that very “root” of “self”-contraction).
is not a matter of “interviewing the ego” forever, and (on that basis) merely making piecemeal adjustments in behavior. Rather, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
That “radical” process cuts through the “root” of egoity—and, thus, cuts down the entire “tree” of egoity, at the “root”—even from the beginning of the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, and by Means of whole bodily devotional recognition-response to Me.
Devotion to Me is “radical” devotion, enacted through devotional recognition-response to Me—turning the four psycho-physical faculties to Me, and ignoring all the contents and patterning of ego-“I”.
That practice is such that it is always already transcending “known-objects”—rather than strategically avoiding “known-objects”, or dissociating from them, and (likewise) rather than seeking “known-objects”, or any forms of conditional “knowledge”, or any modes of a “knowing-self
The Truth That is at the “root” of all apparent “subjectivity” Is Transcendental. The Truth That is apparently “objective” Is Spiritual. And, in Reality, there is no “difference” between Transcendental and Spiritual—or between the “root” of the apparently “subjective” and the “root” of the apparently “objective”. Transcendental and Spiritual Are—in Truth, or in Reality Itself—Indivisible, Non-separate, and Non-“different
There Is Only One Absolute Reality and Truth—Which Is Non-“different”, Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine.
Consciousness Itself Is Always Already (or Intrinsically and Perfectly) Prior to “point of view” (or attention itself)—and, Thus, Intrinsically Prior to the psychologically-inferred observing-and-responding separate “self”-identity, or the “subjectively”-inferred pseudo-relation (or fictional “subject”) of apparent “objects
The ego-“I” is “Narcissus”. The ego-“I” (or “Narcissus”) “knows” itself only as a reflection, as a “thing” (or an “object”) that is “objective” to itself—and (in some respects) the ego-“I” does not even recognize the reflection to be itself.
The Way Of That Divine Reality-Realization Is Always Already Prior To and Beyond all “objects”, all of egoic “self”-contraction (or space-time-“locatedness”, or “point of view”), and all seeking To Achieve or Avoid “objects”, “things”, “others”, or “goals”.
Feel Me—By “Locating” Me Infinitely Above the Total body-mind-complex, and By Whole-bodily-Responding To My “Bright” Transcendental Spiritual Presence (Above, and All-Around-Surrounding, and Entirely Pervading the Total body-mind-complex), and By Radiating My (Thus Beheld and “Located” and “Known”) Love-Bliss-Fullness (In All Directions, Boundlessly).
By Letting the Total body-mind-complex Melt To Infinitely Beyond itself (By Melting Into My Radiant “Bright” Infinite Body and Perfectly egoless Person Of Love-Bliss-Fullness).
Gratefully and Constantly, By every action of body, of emotion (or feeling), of mind (or attention), and of speech, and of breath.
My “Bright” Sun Rises From The Heart-“Root”, and Stands, Forever Uneclipsed,8 Above The Garden Tree,9 Above and Beyond
The Pentagrammic Star. My Bliss-Touch, My Bliss-Sound, and My Bliss-Light11 Originate Above The Skies Of “worlds”, Above The Sky Of mind,12 Beyond The Reach Of body-mind-“self”.
Above The Underground That is the usual human habitation,13 Above The Mandrake, Above the three hearts, Above The Root-Ball,14 Above The Crown Of lower light,15 Above The Garden and The Tree, Above the “worlds” above, I Am, “Bright”, Still, and Silent, There— Free-Standing In The Right Side and Always “Bright” Above.
In Devotional Communion With Me, Filling The Infinite Heart-Sphere With My Love-Bliss-Presence, Melting you Down, Melting the solar plexus, Melting the navel, Melting all the belly-knot, Melting the sex organs, Melting the entire and Unbroken
bodily base, Until the you of head-to-toe Is Un-knotted, Only Open and Filling Full, Like a vowel Pierced By A Bolt Of consonants, and Ringing With The Beginningless and Endless Love-Bliss-Pleasure Of My Radiant Transcendental
In This Manner, the “you” that is the Total body-mind-“self” (or psycho-physical ego-“I”), and which is otherwise merely a complex pattern of “self”-contraction (made of the always separative and “self”-deluding “act of Narcissus”, or the complex, and Total psycho-physical, avoidance of relationship), Is To Be Responsively (or In The Only-To-Me Devotionally Whole-bodily-Responding Manner) Offered To Me In A Total psycho-physical Disposition, Gesture, and Pattern That Is Like an Always Up-Turned Open cup (or bowl, or vessel, or hand), and Not (As in the case of every moment of otherwise active “self”-contraction) Like a ball (or a knot, or a clenched fist).
In Rightly Patterned Devotional Whole bodily Response To Me—Actively Turned Up To Me, Transcendentally Spiritually “Bright” Where I Always Already Stand, Infinitely Above the body and the mind.
Thus Feeling Me Above and Beyond and Prior To ego-“I”, and (Thus, By Feeling Me) Actively Relinquishing (or Feeling Above and Beyond and Prior To) the psycho-physical ego-act of “self”-contraction (which is—like a ball, or a knot, or a clenched fist—“self”-contained, “self”-referring, and “self”-absorbed).
With the Total head (or the entire region extending from the crown of the head to the deep core of the throat) as a physical, sensory, sensual, and Energy-Conducting part of the conscious body. This instead of chronic thinking (“self”-contracting the head and throat into doubt and sorrow and seeking for an “object”).

In My Eyes-Of-Love-Bliss Garden Dome, The Indivisible Blossom Of My “Bright” Divine Body-Space, Where My Own and Open Eyes Gaze Freely From Above and Beyond the everymind, and My Own and Open Heart Gazes Fully From Beyond and Priorly Behind the everymind.
That Makes and Keeps you “Bright”, and your every breath Is Thickened There, In My Infinity Of Heart-Tastes-Sweet,
Otherwise, the conditionally and perceptually evident “world” is not The “World In God”—but it is, instead, the “Godless” dark universe of ego-“I”, of separate “point of view”, of “self”-deluded “self”-reflection, of mortal seeking, of irreducible bondage, of “Narcissus” and cold death.
- The “world” that Perfectly Coincides with The Divine (or Reality Itself) Is One with (and not “different” from) The Divine (or Reality Itself). Thus, the “world” that is (or seems to be) “different” and separate is not The “World In God”. Only the “world” in (and As) Perfect (and, Thus, Non-“different” and Non-separate) Coincidence with The Divine (or Reality Itself) Is The “World In God”.
Dissociative introversion “causes” obsession and delusion—as, also, does associative extroversion.
In Consciousness Itself, all apparent conditionally arising “experiences” (including the body-mind-“self”, all “others”, all “objects”, and all “events”) are Intrinsically Self-Recognized As Non-separate, and Non-“different”, and Pre-causal (or Non-“caused”, or Acausally Evident) modifications of The Indivisibly Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Conscious Light That Is Consciousness Itself and all apparently “objectified” (“internal” and/or “external”) forms, conditions, and states of “experience”. Therefore, if conditionally arising “experience” is, in any moment, directly and tacitly observed and understood as egoic “self”-reflection, “self”-projection, “self”-representation, and/or “self”-situationing, all attachment, aversion, desire, and seeking is (thus and thereby) self-released,
“I” is not The Divine Self-Identity, or Person. “I” is the body-mind-complex, the patterned mechanical entity, the functionally defined “self”.
Only fools imagine themselves to be identical to The Divine in their “inwardness”, their separateness, their “difference”, and their egoic “self”-awareness. The true human being is Awake to the understanding that everything that is “self” is temporary, mechanical, and utterly dependent upon That Which Transcends egoic “self” and Which Is (Altogether) Prior to all arising phenomena.
The “world” of dualistic oppositions is a perceptual construct of the presumed-to-be-separate “point-of-view”-mind. That “world” is the “world” that is inherently (or always already) separated from The Real and True—and Perfectly Indivisible, and Perfectly Non-separate, and Perfectly egoless, and Perfectly Acausal—Divine.
Do you think the “world” that Is The Divine “Creation” murders 300,000 people in a tsunami?1 Such “darkness” has nothing to do with
be turned to Me on Sight is to be tacitly and Priorly entered into My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain. To be turned to Me on Sight is to practice The Way That Is Always Already Prior to egoic “self”-identification with the body-mind-complex.
The “great path of return” is about struggling in a “world” that appears (“experientially”) to be separate from The Divine (or from That Which Is Perfect).
The fundamental traditional “method” is the search for “subjective Profundity” by means of the “self”-conscious effort of dissociative introversion—whether at the gross, or the subtle, or the causal level (depending on which of the six developmental stages of life is the focus of the practice).
The sixth stage “technique” of “tracing the ‘I’-thought to its source” is an example of dissociative introversion—the introversion of the mind on its Transcendental Source.
My Divine Self-“Brightness” Manifests from The Prior Self-Position “outwardly”—or into the total (otherwise both “subjective” and “objective”) field of conditions, from (or At and As) The Prior Self-Position of Always Already Perfect “Priorness” (or “innerness” Prior to “invertedness”). My Divine Self-“Brightness” Purifies and Transforms the body-mind-complex—but not as the result of My devotee “self”-applying a strategic “method” of purifying and transforming the body-mind-complex by (first) “objectifying” it and (on that basis) dissociating from it, in order (as a thus caused “Result”) to Realize The Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State.

patterns) are Divinely (and Intrinsically) Self-Realized to be Pervaded and Radiated by The Love-Bliss-Full Self-Radiance of The True Divine Heart, in all directions and from all directions—in The Limitless Ecstasy of Real (Self-Existing and Acausal) God.
The conditional “causing” of either gross (physical), or subtle (mental), or causal (“root”-egoic) “ecstasy” is not the “goal” of practice in The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam.
This “world” is appearing As Me. This “world” (in and of itself) is appearing only to “point of view” (or the perspective of the presumed-to-be-separate body-mind-“self”). I am not a “point of view”. My “Open Eyes” are not ordinary eyes, looking at the “world” and merely presuming that the “world” is actually a “result” of Divine “Causation”. I Am Looking at the “world” As The Divine Self-Evidence Itself.
PERFECT SEARCHLESSNESS The Way Beyond The Mummery of False Means
Therefore, virtually everyone is involved in seeking for an “intoxicated” (or conditionally ecstatic) condition—but, in any case, all of that seeking is a phoney show, a mere mummery, which disguises the always ongoing “root”-commitment to the search itself and to bondage itself. All conditional pursuits—all seeking, and all “self”-indulgence in patterns of habit—are a pseudo-effort to “defeat” whatever it is that one is otherwise in reaction to, by embracing the feeling of pleasure or obliviousness that is temporarily (and always diminishingly) “experienced” in every moment of repetition of habit’s exercise. It is this illusion of the attaining of ecstasy—or the psycho-physically conditioned simulation of Transcendence—that motivates all seeking-pursuits, of any and every kind.
That Which Is Transcendental Is (and, Necessarily, can Be) Realized only Priorly and (Thus) Intrinsically.
That devotional recognition-response is Intrinsically and Perfectly Free of all impulse to make use of conditional means (or seeking-“methods”) to achieve The Intrinsically egoless Divine and Transcendental Spiritual Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself.
The only Perfect Option is to transcend pattern itself, by searchless (or will-less) “self”-understanding (or circumspect comprehension of the total context of “self”-and-pattern) and (thereupon) by the intrinsic transcending of the “self”-identity of “active agent”—or the ego-“I” of “point of view” and of the pattern-stimulated will to act. The only Perfect Option is egolessness itself—intrinsically transcending all pattern-bondage and all seeking for freedom itself. The only Perfect Freedom Is Intrinsic egolessness—The Reality-State That Is Always Already Prior to both pattern and action.
The search for “knowledge” is hunter-gatherer behavior, based on the ancient pre-“civilized” brain. The search for “knowledge” leads to “Scapegoat” (or “object-in-the-middle”) rituals, in which power is always exercised over the “middle” (even to the degree of destroying it). Reality Itself is not in the “middle”. Reality Itself Is Inherently and Perfectly Prior to all-and-All.
Perfect Faith Is The Universal Reality-Basis For Real And Perfect Joy
Faith is an act of “subjective” identification with one or another mode of “experience” or conditionally presumed “knowledge”—whether physical (or perceptual), or mental (or conceptual), or emotional, or Spiritual—rather than to “objectify” and “subjectively” dissociate from it.
Consciousness Itself can neither physically perceive nor mentally conceive. Consciousness Itself can only Witness—or Stand Tacitly Prior to—bodily functions, processes, and states of physically perceptual participation, and mental functions, processes, and states of mentally attentive physical observation and (otherwise) mentally conceptual revery.
Attention—the “root”-function of mind—is the function of observation. If attention does not arise toward bodily and/or mental functions, processes, or states, Consciousness (Characteristically) Self-Abides only As Itself.
Mind and psyche are not “entities” or separate “identities”. Mind is pattern-only, and brain-specific, and never defined or summarized. Mind is process, not “thing”.
All perceptions are brain-and-nervous-system-patterned recordings of apparent discrete events that have already occurred at least a fraction of a second before awareness “knows” (or perceives) them. Therefore, all perceptions are memories. Because all perceptions are memories (or psycho-physical recordings of events that have already occurred), no perception is a direct and present-time “knowing” of any discretely perceptible event.
The brain is intrinsically and functionally egoless—even though the bodily-based mind may seek to invoke and project an ego-fiction in the otherwise egoless field of the brain’s process. The brain is not separate—and the brain itself (or as an indigenous process of tacit bodily life) does not and cannot presume otherwise. The brain is an integral part of a psycho-physical totality. That totality is all of the bodily domain.
Memory is not, itself, a “point-of-view”-based record of a “self”. Memory does not indicate or define a separate, definable, fixed, and concretely existing “self”. Rather, memory is intrinsically “point-of-view”-less.
The Illusion Of Weather And The Reality Of Absolute Rain
Reality Itself Is As An Absolute Rain—or A Perfect Universalization of The Inherently Perfect (and Perfectly Indivisible) Self-Unity of The One True Water Itself. The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam Is The Absolute Rain of Reality Itself.
All of conditionally arising apparent “self” and “world” and “universe” is non-necessity—a cosmic “fault” of all “it” seems upon a broken space of time-bound light.
And Love-Bliss Itself cannot be observed or inspected—because it is never an “Object”, but It is Always Only (and Perfectly) A Subjective Reality.
Therefore, The (Necessarily and Inherently Perfect) “Doing” of “Perfect Knowledge” Is The Always Tacit and Immediate Self-Apprehension of Prior Self-Evidence—Always Already (or Inherently and Perfectly) Prior to the conditionally arising (and otherwise uninspected) presumption of “point of view”, “object”, “problem”, the seeking-effort of “problem-solving”, and the presumed-to-be-separate seeking-“subject” (“itself”). 2. The brain and nervous system can be turned either outward, into the perceptual field of “objects”, or inward, upon itself, and into the “subjective” field of “objects”. If the brain
That is to say, all apparently “internal” (or “inner” and “subjective”) “objects” are, actually and irreducibly, non-“different” from the brain and the nervous system themselves.
Only Reality Itself, Which Is Intrinsically egoless, Perfectly Indivisible, Acausally all-and-All-Pervading, Transcendentally all-and-All-Transcending, Spiritually Self-Radiant, and Self-Evidently Divine, Exists—and, As Thus and So and Such, Reality Itself Only, and Merely, and Perfectly Self-Exists, Always Already Prior to space, spacelessness, omnipresence, “point of view”, “locatedness”, motion, motionlessness, time, timelessness, dependence, independence, non-dependence, “cause”, “effect”, change, changelessness, category, distinction, definition, indefinability, “knowability”, and un-“knowability”, but Always, Only, Merely, and Perfectly As Itself, and Never As Not-Itself.
There is no Consciousness of Energy (or Light) Itself. Energy (or Light) Itself is not an “object” of (or to) Consciousness Itself. There Is only Consciousness (Itself) As Energy (or Light) Itself. Consciousness Itself Is Energy (or Light) Itself. Energy (or Light) Itself Is Consciousness Itself. Consciousness Itself only Self-Abides As Conscious Light Itself (and, Thus, As Energy Itself).
That is to say, the conditionally apparent universe is, self-evidently, not a result of any “cause”—or of any “First Cause”, “Prime Mover”, or “Creator-God”—but, rather, the conditionally apparent universe is, self-evidently, arising as a mere appearance, or apparent Self-modification, of its Inherent and Always Prior Context (or All-Organizing Prior “Shape”). The Inherent and Always Prior Context of the totality of the conditionally apparent universe Is Reality Itself, Which Is Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, and of An Inherently Acausal and Indivisible Nature. Therefore, Reality Itself cannot “Cause” anything outside Itself—or anything that can be “other” than, or “object” to, or “different” from, or (in any manner) “related” to Itself.
All “causes” and all “effects” are, inherently, the results of the intrinsic “self-location” that is any “point” (or “point of view”) in time, space, or space-time. Every “point” (or “point of view”) within any context is inherently operative, generative, and effective as “cause”. Every “location” is (as a “point”, or “point of view”, affected by the operative “causative” characteristic of all other conditionally apparent “points”, or “points of view”) subordinate and “caused” as an “effect”. The “point of view” (or “point”, or “location”, in time, space, or space-time) is (itself, inherently) the only possible origin of “cause”, or “effect”, or “cause-and-effect”.
Infinity (or the infinite state) is intrinsically, or always already, at and of and as zero (or the zero-point).
Infinity (or the infinite state) is zero (or the zero-point). Zero (or the zero-point) is infinity (or the infinite state). Infinity (or the infinite state) is irreducibly non-finite, dimensionless, not-differentiated, not-quantified, not-“located”, thoroughly without limiting characteristics, and (altogether) zero-only.
Infinity is zero. Zero is infinity. The infinite state is always already at, in, of, and as the zero-point—or always already and irreducibly prior to all numbers, all quantities, all “objects”, and all “difference”.
PARADOX IS REALITY ITSELF AND THE WAY TO SELF-REALIZE REALITY ITSELF Paradox is the “root” and “cause” of all (and every particularity) that is positively interesting to the human mind and heart and life. Paradox—or improbability, or the “problem” of the irreducible existence of anything at all—Is The Reference of Implication That Self-Identifies Reality Itself As Is.
True believers merely believe in believing. True “knowers” only “know” what they find out.
The Great Tradition of humankind is the “search for solution”, or the “search for The Divine”—based on the “problematic” pattern generated by “self”-contraction (or egoity, or “point of view”).
Reality Itself, Which Is (Self-Evidently) Divine, and (As Such) The only Real (and Perfectly Acausal) God, is not the “Savior” of the ego. Rather, The Real Divine Is That in Which the illusion of separate and separative “self” must be surrendered (or tacitly transcended).
The Truth is not that “you” survive forever—as you
presently presume or conceive yourself to be. Nor is Reality Itself, or Real (Acausal) God, the “Instrument” of permanent ego-survival, ego-immortality, or ego-“salvation”.
sight. If there is no Such Self-Awakening, life is a tormented absurdity, a mean and unrescued center of illusions.
You will, inevitably, persist as changes, as long as apparent embodied existence continues—but, if you live The Law of intrinsic egolessness, you will, in every moment, release all changes into The Reality That Is their Transcendental Spiritual (and, Thus, Love-Blissful) Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State. 3. The Divine Is Reality Itself. The Divine Is The Very Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of human existence—and, indeed, of all existence and all appearances. The Divine Transcends “point of view”.
The Divine Itself—and not any “inner absolute”—Is The Basis for understanding human existence.
The Reality-Way of Adidam is about transcending the illusory (or “self-objectified”) “subjectivity” of “ego” and the illusory (or egoically “objectified”) “objectivity” of “world” first. That being the case, The Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality is The First Evidence to be Realized, not something to be Realized later.
To illustrate The Intrinsic (egoless and Indivisible and Acausal) Self-Condition of Reality Itself, I have often used the metaphor of a room, in which any number of people may be sitting. Each person in the room would describe the room (or, by extension, the “world”, or the universe) in a certain manner, based on his or her particular position within the room (or his or her “location” in space and time).
Remarkably, the actual room itself—or the “world” itself, or the universe as a totality, or even any “object”, or even the ego-“I” itself—is never “known” (As it Is). The only and constant event is the “subjective” illusion—or the wandering “point of view” that “knows” the “objective” (or egoically “objectified”) changes of necessarily limited and finite “happenings” (or conditionally arising changes of ego-based appearance).
Nevertheless, the room itself is not as it seems to be from any particular “point of view”.
When I am devotionally recognized, the process that occurs is Beyond “point of view”, and Beyond “self”-contraction.
There is no “inner permanent entity” in the human individual. There Is Only The Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine Conscious Light.
Right disciplining of the body is, of course, necessary and appropriate. It is the dissociation from the body which (in the traditional setting) is characteristically associated with “self”-discipline that must be transcended. Therefore, the body—in and of itself—is not the “problem”. Rather, it is the lack of Self-Abiding Divine Self-Recognition of the body that “creates” a wrong presumption about the body. You are never actually in the situation you are trying to figure yourself out of. You are more than the body—and you are more than not-the-body.
Part Fifteen The Lion Sutra
THE LION SUTRA The Perfect Practice of Perfect Knowledge
I Said: There Is Infinite Inherent Love-Bliss—“There”, In the Well of Mere (or Intrinsically Self-Evident) Being. 33. I Said: The Inherent Love-Bliss-State of Mere (or Intrinsically Self-Evident) Being Is Countlessly “Brighter” (and Numberlessly More Love-Blissful) Than the “Circular worlds” of Fascinated separateness. 34. I Said: Therefore, Turn (whole bodily) To Me, and (Thereby) Eat attention In the Heart. 35. I Said: Attention (or all of mind) is Always an act of egoic “self”-identification with some limitation (or limited state).
- I Said: The Inherent Love-Bliss-State of Mere (or Intrinsically Self-Evident) Being Is Countlessly “Brighter” (and Numberlessly More Love-Blissful) Than the “Circular worlds” of Fascinated separateness. 34.

Said: Therefore, Turn (whole bodily) To Me, and (Thereby) Grow To Stand Free In Me—“Where” and As I Am, Before the mind Makes a “Difference”. 37. I Said: Turn (whole bodily) To Me, and (Thereby) Grow To Stand and Be In Me—Inherently Free of Motive, and “object”, and other, and Even every “thing”.
I Said: Turn (whole bodily) To Me, and (Thereby) Shed the Disease of separation and Seeking. 39. I Said: Turn (whole bodily) To Me, and (Thereby) Be Healed of the Illusion of “other” and “empty”.
I Said: Therefore, the body-mind-complex—or the ego-“I”, or the totality of psycho-physical “self”-Contraction, or the ego-act of the avoidance of relationship—is itself relatedness (or a Paradox Within the Context of relationship itself).
I Said: The ego-“I” (or “Narcissus”, or attention, or separate “point of view”, or the entire “Root”-and-all of “self”-Contraction) is only a thought, or a thoughtless feeling.

and (By All of This) Come To Rest In the total psycho-physical Equanimity of Fundamental Non-attachment Relative To the Totality of conditional (or Cosmic) Nature, and (Thus and Thereby) Stand In Place (Inherently Free of the Circle and the Arrow of the body-mind-complex), In and As the Always Already Perfectly Prior Space of the Witness-Consciousness, “Where” Even attention itself is (By Swooning Awake In Me) Transcended.
I Said: Stand As You Are, By Falling Into Me—and So Be Free. 88. I Said: The One Who Says All of This To You Is the Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Person of Reality Itself—the Infinite Self-“Bright” Sphere of Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light—Who Transcends all the “things”.
Truly Recognize Me As the Divine Avataric Master, Da, the Non-separate, Non-Dual, and Intrinsically egoless Divine Person of Reality Itself, Both Avatarically Incarnate and Eternally (or Priorly and Perfectly) Self-Existing and Self-Radiant As the One and Indivisible and Perfectly Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light of all-and-All—and, Therefore, they, For Lack of True Devotion To Me, were Not Yet Prepared For This “Radical” (or Most Direct) Process of Renunciation (of ego-“I”) and Realization (of Only Me). 90. Therefore, In Response to the needs and limitations of those who First came To Me, I Became Spontaneously Moved To a Unique Ordeal of Avatarically Self-Revealing Divine Transcendental Spiritual Work—Teaching and Blessing one, and all, and All. 91. My Spontaneous Manner of Working During That Divine Avataric Ordeal May Be Likened To the Great and Traditional Submission-“Method” of Self-Sacrificial Service To one, and all, and All. 92. My First Listeners Revealed To Me (By their egoic “self”-Distractedness) that they (Not Yet Enough Instructed, and Not Yet Enough Distracted By Me) were Not Immediately Able To Discipline themselves (Continually, On the Basis of Me-Recognizing, and To-Me-Responding, Devotion, and Consistently, On the Basis of Simple “self”-Understanding)—
the whole body, and Constantly and Fully, In the Traditional Devotional Manner. 93. Therefore, I “Disciplined” Myself (To Conform My Own Body-Mind To My Would-Be Devotees), and I Gave (or Love-Submitted) Myself To them, To each one As My Beloved, and I (Thus) Became an Avatarically Self-Sacrificial Divine Offering—Given To Seem and To “Play” In the Likeness of each and all, By (Divinely Indifferently) Reflecting each To each (As a Mirror Does, or a Desert Pond), To Suddenly Awaken “Narcissus” To the Water Itself (or the Only, and Non-separate, One Who Is), By Means of My “Bright” Unbroken and Unending and Perfectly Divine Avataric-Incarnation-Light.
Mine Is the Eternal Space of No-attention, “Where” Even time and space Are Watered To the Nub—and I Am Always Shining “There”, With the Perfect Word In My Heart. 98. Come “There”, My Beloved (every one), Come Searchless To Behold Me here, and Come Prepared To Be Delight In a Feast of Calms, With the Dawn of “Brightness” Shined From Me, and Gone To On Your face. 99. Then Listen Deep In Me-here-“Bright”, and Call Me “There” (By Name), and Hear My Word of Silence “There”, and See Me “Where” You Stand. 100. Therefore, Be Un-born In Me, and Stand Awake In My Free Fire, and, By Most Perfect “Contemplation” of My Sign, Fulfill the “Brightest” Blessing of My (Forever) Silence Kept.
Therefore, You—As the ego-“I” of “self”-Contracted body-mind—are Constantly Seeking the egoless Divine Self-State of Reality Itself. 124. And Even Though You are Constantly Seeking egoless Love-Bliss, Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss Itself Is Always Already The Case.
Realization of Real (Acausal) God, or Truth Itself, or Reality Itself Is Liberation From the Bondage of “Narcissus” (or the separate and separative ego-“I”).
- Therefore, Real (Acausal) God, or Truth Itself, or Reality Itself Is Existence Itself (or Inherent Being). 151. Consciousness (or Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness) Is.
“Who”, “What”, and “Where” Is the Real (Acausal) God, and the Truth, and the Reality of the body? 160. The ego-“I” (or the “self”-Contraction) is the body itself.
Only Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light (Itself) Is—Whereas all else (or all-and-All That is Presumed or Felt to be “other” than Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light Itself) Only Seems. 185. Whatever arises conditionally (To or In Consciousness, or Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness, Itself) is Only a brief Illusion of attention, or an apparent modification of Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light (Itself).
Real (Acausal) God, and the Truth, and the Reality—of What Is, and of what apparently and conditionally arises.
“Who”, “What”, and “Where” Is Consciousness (or Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness) Itself? 194. “Who”, “What”, and “Where” Is the Inherent (and Tacit) Self-Apprehension of Being (or of Existence) Itself? 195. “Who”, “What”, and “Where” Is Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss Happiness Itself?
The By-Me-Avatarically-Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual “Root”-Current of Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss Itself Is To Be Self-“Located” (Standing Self-Radiant) In the right side of the bodily apparent Heart—Beyond and Prior to all “self”-Contraction (or “centeredness”, or “point of view”, or attention) “There”. 224. If attention is Strategically (or by a Seeking-effort of the egoic will) Directed At the “objective” physical space of the right side of the bodily apparent Heart, the By-Me-Avatarically-Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual “Root”-Current of Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss (Itself) Is Not Found.
Merely (and Only) Witness (or Constantly, Tacitly Observe) all “things”—or all “objects”, all others, all forms, all states, all relations, the body-mind-complex itself, all psycho-physical processes, all sensations, all natural energies, all perceptions, all emotions, all responses, all reactions, all desires, and all thoughts.
This Inherently Perfect Exercise (or “Perfect Practice”) of Merely (and Only) “Locating” My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual “Root”-Current of Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss, While (Coincidently, or Simultaneously) Merely (and Only) Witnessing whatever arises (or any and every “thing” that arises), Should Be the Tacit (or Searchless, Motiveless, and Intrinsically Non-mental, or Perfectly thought-free) Self-Apprehension-Event of “Radical Self-Abiding”, or of Tacit Self-Awareness of Merely Being, Rather Than an exercise of thinking (or, Altogether, of total psycho-physical “self”-Contraction).
- Whatever conditionally arises—“Consider” it, Thus. 245. Is this presently arising condition (of body, emotion, mind, and life-breath) Love-Bliss? 246. Is this moment (of perceiving, reacting, thinking, and mortal breathing) Love-Bliss?
This ego-“I” of “experiencing” and “knowing” is Not Love-Bliss. 252. Discriminate Thus. 253.
Whatever (and all that) conditionally arises (In the Total Pattern of always limited and temporary conditions That is the Cosmic Mandala, or Cosmic Domain) Begins to be Ignored, Released, and Forgotten in the very moment of Discovery that the presently conditionally arising condition (or any “thing” of attention) is Not (and Never is, and Never can be) Perfect Joy, Perfect Satisfactoriness, or the Centerless and Boundless Realization of Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss Itself.
If Consciousness (or Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness) Itself is (apparently) limited to conditional “objects”, others, forms, thoughts, states, processes, or “things”, Then (Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine, or Inherent and Most Perfect) Love-Bliss Itself (and the Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness of Mere Being, Which Is Consciousness Itself) Seems to be Diminished, or Even Lost.
All of That (“No”, and Then “Yes”, and Then “No” Again—and So On) is the Processional (and Entirely conditional, and Always changing) Illusion of attention. 264. All of That is the mind. 265. All of That is the “Difference” the mind makes. 266. The mind is the Event and the Illusion of attention. 267.
-
The Diminishment (or Even the Loss) of the Feeling of Love-Bliss May Seem Great and Profound in the “experience” of merely un-“desirable” (or un-“interesting”) “objects”, others, forms, thoughts, states, processes, or “things”—whereas it May Otherwise Seem (Only Because of the Contrast in “experience”) that the Feeling of Love-Bliss is Greatly and Profoundly Acquired (or Attained) in the “experience” of “desirable” (or “interesting”) “objects”, others, forms, thoughts, states, processes, or “things”.
-
Moment to moment, Irrespective of what is apparently arising to attention, “Locate” My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual “Root”-Current of Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss Itself—“There”, At the “Root”-Position (or the Perfectly Subjective Seat, or the Most Prior Self-Position and Source-Position) From Which attention otherwise arises, and As the mindless (and Intrinsically egoless) Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State of Consciousness Itself (Always Already Prior To attention).
-
Therefore, mere attention, attention to conditionally arising “things”, or every act of attention to “objects”, others, forms, thoughts, states, and processes is (itself) the Habit of “Narcissus” (otherwise Expressed as the complex avoidance of relationship).
-
Thus (By Means of “Radical Self-Abiding”), Constantly “Consider” (or Merely Observe, Relinquish, and Stand Prior To) “Narcissus”, the emotional act (and conditionally arising emotional sensation) of separativeness, separation, and separateness (or of “point of view” and “Difference”).
-
At the “Root” of attention to any “object”, other, form, thought, state, process, or “thing”—Beneath every kind of limited (or merely conditionally arising) feeling, and Even Beneath the one Basic limited feeling that is “Narcissus” (or the total psycho-physical “self”-Contraction into “point of view” and “Difference”)—There is the “Root”-feeling, mindless perception, and “causal stress” of relatedness.
-
The “Root”-feeling of relatedness is the “causal essence” (or Primal stress) of “self”-Contraction.
On the Basis of Constant Right (or Truly ego-Surrendering) Devotional Sighting of Me, and (In That Context) of Heart-Deep Listening To My Divine Avataric Word and Person, and (Thereupon) Only After (or On the Constant Basis of) True Hearing of Me (or Most Fundamental “self”-Understanding) In Devotional Me-Recognizing Response To My Divine Avataric Word and Person—and (Altogether) Through the Devotionally Me-Recognizing and Devotionally To-Me-Responsive Practice of (Constantly) Effectively (and Then Perfectly) Feeling Beyond psycho-physical “self”-Contraction, In and By Means of the Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual Grace of My Divine (and Always Blessing) Avataric Company—For I Am the Divine Avataric Master, the Avatarically Self-Revealed (and Intrinsically egoless) Human, Spiritual, Transcendental, and Self-Evidently Divine Person of Reality and Truth.
Is Awakened (By Means of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual Grace, Through Constant Devotionally-Surrendered and Searchless Communion With Me), There Is Spontaneous, Intrinsic, Free, and Perfect Relinquishment of conditional “self”-identification with the body-mind-complex and the “Root”-feeling and “causal stress” of relatedness—which is, itself, merely the feeling “I am the body”, or “I am the mind”, or “I am the body-mind”.
Inevitable, Immediate, Effortless,
There Is Only Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light, One and Indivisible—and No “Other”, here, or any “where”. 418. Therefore, Wake Up Sooner Than the mind Can Happen.
Before it Seems There is the “point of view” and the “Difference” of the “self”-Contracted ego-“I” of body, breath, emotion, mind, or even the mereness of attention—Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light Is Always Already “There”, and One, and Only.
- Thus, Merely Witness (or Tacitly Observe) whatever “things” (or forms of psycho-physical “self”-Contraction) presently conditionally arise, Until it is Tacitly Understood (As Self-Evidently the Case) that Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness Itself (or the Witness-Consciousness Itself) Does Not (and Cannot) Seek or follow after any “thing”, or (otherwise) Add “self”-Contraction, separateness, avoidance, reaction, exclusion, desire, or active attachment to Itself (or to whatever “thing” presently conditionally arises).
Whatever is Merely Witnessed (or Tacitly Observed) is Not (and Cannot be) avoided, or reacted to, or excluded, or desired, or Held On to, or otherwise Sought or followed after—but it is Only (or Merely, Tacitly, Effortlessly, or Inherently and Self-Evidently, and Merely Apparently) Witnessed.
Thus, As All Holding On Relaxes (or Spontaneously Subsides) In the “Face” of the Witness-Consciousness (or Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness), Simply, Freely, and Easefully Allow attention (“Located” as the “Root”-feeling and “causal stress” of relatedness) to be Dissolved (or Made Indistinguishable) In My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual “Root”-Current of Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Love-Bliss—Until Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness (or Consciousness Itself, Always Already Prior To attention and the conditionally arising “things” of attention) Is (Spontaneously) Divinely Self-Revealed To Be the Most Prior Position, the Real Content, the Very “Substance”, the Inherent Being, and the Intrinsically egoless and Perfectly Non-conditional Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State (or Indivisible “Subject”) “Who”, “What”, and “Where” Is Always Already The (One and Only) Case.
Then Tacitly (Merely and Effortlessly) Self-Abide As Consciousness (or Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness) Itself, Inherently (and Not Strategically, or Searchingly) Oblivious To conditionally arising “things”.
-
In Due Course (As My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual Grace Will Have It), whatever and every “thing” that arises Will Be Spontaneously (and Divinely) Self-Recognized As Only Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light Itself—Not “centered” Behind, or Beneath, or “inside” the knot of psycho-physical “self”-Contraction, but Self-Existing As Mere (or Always Already Unlimited) Self-Awareness, Centerlessly and Boundlessly Self-Radiant As Transcendental Spiritual Love-Bliss.
-
Therefore, As My Formally Practicing Devotee, Be Always (Rightly, Truly, and Fully) Devoted To Me—and (Thereby) Observe, and Understand: All “objects” Evoke wanting need, Always Anticipating gain. 492. Wanting need Provokes Seeking. 493. Seeking becomes aggressive anger, failing even before it fails.
To Seek “objects”, and Not To Understand that All Seeking is Moved by pain, is pain itself, and bewilderment. 521. To desire “others” or to avoid them, and Not To Understand that desire and avoidance are Made of sorrow, is sorrow itself, and dark emptiness. 522. To Wonder, and to “know” the “things”, and Not To Understand that “knowledge” is Never Satisfied, is the Essence of fear itself. 523.
- Grow In Me (By Means of Intrinsically ego-Transcending Devotion To Me), and (Thus and Thereby) Grow To Be (Inherently Perfect) Tacit Self-Awareness Only—Not separate, Not related, Not other, Not other-bound, Not “Different”, Not “Difference”-bound, Not needing, Not Seeking, Not following after, Not gaining, Not stressful, Not angry, Not reacting, Not emoting, Not Full of pain, Not Seeking by desiring, Not Fulfilling, Not avoiding, Not Escaping, Not attached, Not losing, Not sorrowful, Not lost, Not Wondering, Not thinking, Not “knowing”, Not Full of mind, Not perceiving, Not “experiencing”, Not Right, Not bewildered, Not Complaining, Not Wrong, Not fearing, Not changing, Not Afflicted, Not dark and empty, Not Satisfied, Not Deluded, Not “attentive”, Not Moved, Not Discovering, Not egoically “I”, Not embodied, Not Released, Not Resisting, Not Even Understanding, but Only (or Merely) Being the One Who Is Mere Tacit and Intrinsically egoless Transcendental Spiritual Self-Awareness (Itself). 527.
When You Are Grown In Me Most Perfectly (By Means of Most Perfectly ego-Transcending Devotion To Me), Stand “There” and Be, Tacit-Self-Awareness-Only—Inherently “objectless”, Inherently relationless, and Inherently without a “thing”, but Neither separate Nor separated From all-and-All.
- Stand Free, and Be (What Is, and what conditionally arises)—but Do Not Look (or become “other” than what conditionally arises). 529. Standing Thus, Do Not Indulge (or Luxuriate) In the act of attention (which is Always “other” than what conditionally arises), and Do Not Seek the Illusion-mind of “objects”, or others, or all “things”—but Always Merely Be (Like a hand feels into a glove), and (Thus) Be Merely Being (Itself).
Therefore, I Say, Come To Rest—or Be Awake—Before “things” Happen.
Come To Rest—or Be Awake—Prior To the Motion of separation and relatedness. 533. Come To Rest—or Be Awake—Already Forever Arrived In My “Bright” Eternal Sphere and Space. 534.
Reality Itself Is Known Only Without Difference
All must become Conscious—not in terms of the functional conscious mind, but in terms of Consciousness Itself.
Thus, the “unconscious” is Consciousness Itself. That is What there is to be Realized.
It must Wake Up to That Which is (for the moment) apparently unconscious, but Which Is simply Consciousness Itself. You imagine, from the “point of view” of the conscious mind (or of the body-mind-“self” altogether), that you are associated with all kinds of “objects” and “others”, and so on.
Nothing you “experience” is separate from Consciousness. Everything you “experience” is an “experience” in Consciousness.
Everything you “experience” is Consciousness, Which Is Itself a Self-Aware Field of Energy. Its modifications are what you call “objects”. You never “experience” anything except as a modification of the Self-Radiant Field of Consciousness. This is your “experience” moment to moment. Why say otherwise? Why claim otherwise? You become deluded when you think “objects” are apart from Consciousness. Then you assign Reality to mere modifications (or appearances) and deny the Reality of Consciousness Itself, the Self-Radiant Field That Is the Basis for your moment to moment “experience”. You cannot legitimately deny the Reality of Consciousness. The Reality of Consciousness is patently So for everyone.
You Are Consciousness—and That Is That. The body is merely a perception. The “world” is merely a perception.
Whatever you “experience” is Pervaded by Consciousness. Whatever you “experience” is within Consciousness. You cannot “experience” anything if there is not Consciousness first. Therefore, Consciousness Itself is the Principle of all of your “experiencing”. Consciousness Itself Stands Prior to your “experience”. No matter what arises, you are Conscious of it, you Are the Witness of it. You “experience” everything as a mode of Consciousness. Examine anything in the room—even the room itself, in its totality. You are Conscious of it. The room exists for you only as a mode of Consciousness. The room is perceived as a Conscious “experience”, not as an “objective thing” separate from Consciousness.
Established in the Limitlessly Self-Radiant Transcendental Spiritual Fullness (or Unlimited Love-Bliss-“Brightness”) of egoless Divine Self-Realization.
Attention is the “root”-act of egoity. Attention manifests as the feeling of relatedness, the feeling of separateness, the feeling of otherness, the feeling of “difference”—“thing” over against attention.
The “root” of egoity is attention itself, or the feeling of relatedness. To be Established Prior to attention (or the feeling of relatedness) is, Inherently, to be in the Witness-Position. To be Prior to attention is to be Prior to the ego.
Thus, as My beginning devotee, you do not simply and constantly Abide As the Witness. Rather, you constantly become psycho-physically active, and distracted, and (thus and thereby) conditionally “self”-defined—and, in the midst of all of that, you become egoically “self”-identified with your tendencies, your actions, your limitations, and (altogether) your illusion that you are not simply the Witness of all that apparently arises, but (rather) that you are the psycho-physical ego-“
Most Perfect Divine Self-Realization Is the biggest “kick in the ass” that the body-mind-“self” has ever encountered. Truly, in such Realization, the body-mind-“self” is “out of business”.
mind-“self” commands nothing. The body-mind-“self” is just a homely little appearance in the midst of the universe. The body-mind-“self” has no authority, no force. The body-mind-“self” is not even likeable.
But Where you Stand—in Reality Itself, As you Are—there is nobody to care about the body-mind-“self”.
By tendency, the energies of the body-mind-complex “go out”—directed toward their purposes. When there are no longer any such purposes, the Practice has become “Perfect”. The Yoga of the “Root”-Current of Transcendental
The Divine Conscious Light, the “Bright”, Is One Only. It is not Consciousness and Light. It Is One Only—Indivisible, Absolute, Divine. The Divine Conscious Light is not merely “inward”. The Divine Conscious Light Is all-and-All and Transcends all-and-All. The Perfect Condition Is. I Assure you: It Is. I Affirm to you, with Absolute Certainty: It Is. Real (Acausal) God Is. Not the “God” of mythology—but the God That Is Reality Itself. The Acausal Divine Truth Is. Reality Itself Is.
AVATAR ADI DA SAMRAJ: What you have just described has nothing to do with the Witness-Position—or Consciousness Itself. You have not described anything but the functioning of attention. The true Witness-Position Is Consciousness Itself, Always Already Prior to attention—and Prior to all other contents of the body-mind-“self”.
When I Ask My devotees, “Isn’t it true that, no matter what arises, in any moment—even now—you Are the Witness of it, even of attention itself?”, My devotees invariably say, “Yes.” But their answer does not signify that they have Realized the Witness-Consciousness. They may enjoy a tacit sense that What I am Saying is True, but such is not their Realization—because they are “sitting in” (or being) the “self”-contraction. They have received and responded to My “Question”
In the by-My-Divine-Avataric-Transcendental-Spiritual-Grace-Given Awakening to the seventh stage of life, the ego-knot (or the “center”, or “middle”, of conditional “experience” and egoically presumed “knowledge”) is vanished entirely, and no longer has any existence whatsoever.
Am Prior to conditional existence, but totally Effective within it.
In other words, you must be aware not only of what you do once you are in My Domain, but also of what you do to get through the door.
Think of the “world” (and all the doings within it) taking place in a gigantic room, a temple enshrining the pattern that requires every individual to transcend egoity (in the context of seeking, and desiring attachments, and patternings relative to the “world”).
Life in the conditional domain is a profound insult. This is simply the way it
The purpose of the Laughing Man Institute and the Laughing Mama Temple is to refresh people in the midst of this natural circumstance—no matter what kind of dreadful events may be occurring. The cosmic domain is a machine of Nature, and it is terrible. The natural reality is terrible.
As Love-Bliss Itself—So White that no color can survive in It. The rainbow dies in That White “Brightness”—and, yet, there is the Way within It. Reality Itself Is Divine. Therefore, Love-Bliss is always accommodated at the “root”—such that there is a Way in the midst of what is apparently terrible. That is the Way to Which I am Calling every one. As long as you are in the domain of merely-human life, you are in the Laughing Mama Temple—and you must understand this. To see and “know” your real situation crushes all illusions. That vision and “knowledge” is described in many traditions.
The ordeal is to “realize” a kind of darkness—such that you transcend the consoling illusions of the senses, and you are given over beyond such illusions. In that darkness, you go beyond the exercise of concepts and perceptions—which is the usual life and activity.
And conditional existence is a kind of darkness, so dark that no colors stand out in it—entirely beyond “point of view”, in fact. Conditional existence can only be seen to be black when the body-mind-complex ceases to be “self”-contracted, ceases to be made the means of seeking.
Beyond the preoccupations of the first six stages of life, There Is Reality Itself—Always Already The Case, Beyond and Prior to all conception and all perception. I Am the Very Divine (and Acausal) Person of Reality Itself, and the Divine Avataric Self-Revelation of Reality Itself. I Am the “Bright”.
The Disposition and Asana of Standing Prior to the first six stages of life is the Foundation of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam.
I Am the Access. I Am the Doorway. The Process in relationship to Me is Transcendental Spiritual.
There Is a Sun That Is Forever Risen in the night sky of the body-mind. It Is the Eternal Sun—the (Self-“Bright”) “Midnight Sun”, Infinitely Above the mind and the crown of the head, and not perceptible by the presuming-to-be-separate observer. The vision of the Cosmic Mandala is a vision from the “point of view” of the body-mind-“self”. The vision of a multi-colored sphere (with the Five-Pointed Star in its center) arises from the subtle (cosmic) disposition.
Rather, the vision of the Cosmic Mandala sparkles like a star in the sky (behind the atmosphere of the Earth).
The Eternal “Midnight
Sun” Is Beyond that cosmically fractioned (or naturally prismatic) sphere.
Eternal “Midnight Sun” Perfectly Transcends all of the cosmic and egoic perception of division, duality, or “difference” between Light and Dark. The Eternal “Midnight Sun” Is, Truly, the Divine “Face” of My Threshold Form.
The entire cosmic domain is a field—indeed, it may appropriately be imagined as a cube—of black, with all perceptions and conceptions gone, as in the swoon of death, or in the Samadhi of ascendedness most profound. In the midst of that black cube, there is a Sphere that looks like the Full Moon—but with no features or patterns on the face of It. It Is Radiant, not shadowy.
This Eternal “Midnight Sun” Is the Direct and Tangible Entrance from the night sky of the body-mind-“self” Into What Is Beyond and Prior to the black—Beyond and Prior to the first six stages of life, Beyond and Prior to the gross, subtle, and causal patterns of conception and perception.
Risen Sun is Edged absolutely discretely. It Is Absolutely White “Brightness”—and Its White Edge is absolutely defined relative to the field of black. The “Midnight Sun” Is the Hole in the universe. It is not (Itself) black. It Is the Hole in the black. It Is Divine Being,
Thus, the metaphor I have Given you—of putting your shoes in order at the Doorway to My House—is important. My Room Is the White Sphere in the conditional field of black.
The Image of the Circle of Infinity (or the White Hole in the midst of the blackness) is not to be used as the basis for a visionary practice. Rather, It is a visual Image of the Structure of Reality Itself and Truth Itself. In Truth, It is the “Face” of Da. It is, literally, My “Face”. You must understand the profundity of This Image.
The “Face” of Da is not something to be Realized by seeking Above the mind and the head. Rather, My devotee simply magnifies his or her practice of “Samraj Asana”, Which Is the Disposition That Allows the Establishment of the “Perfect Practice” of the devotional and Transcendental
The worship of the “Bright” must be established in this conditional realm.
The “Bright” is not merely “experienced” in a feeling-sense—the Luminosity of the “Bright” must be literally seen. It is as Obvious as the White Sun on a black field.
People who are wandering in darkness see color-light—the light of the cosmic domain. They are actually in a black field—but their “experience” becomes prismatic. That prismatic condition is the apparent fracturing of the Indivisible Divine Whiteness. And the “Bright” (Itself) Is Beyond (and Prior to) the Vision of Whiteness.
All the color-fields of the cosmic domain are prismatic illusions—non-necessary fabrications, mere apparitions (or appearances) in the “Bright” White Field of the Conscious Light of Existence. When This Is Realized, the “world” is Divinely Self-Recognized in That Whiteness (or “Brightness”), Which Is the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself. In every other respect, the “lights” are “out”, and there is no consolation in the “world”.
blackness is the “pond” of “difference”. And that is why, in the Divine Indifference stage, there is absolutely nothing consoling in the vast “map” of conditions. And, yet, There Is Only Self-“Bright” Love-Bliss. In Divine Translation, there are no shadows in the “Brightness” anymore.
That Profound Process Is a Shattering of the body-mind-complex and of the entire orientation to conventional psycho-physical patterning. There Is So Much Light of the Divine Self-“Brightness” that the body-mind-complex (and all patterning) is Brought into the Sphere of the Divine Conscious Light. When That all-“Brightening” occurs, it becomes impossible to live in any ordinary manner. That Ultimate all-“Brightening” Is, at last, What Makes the Divine Way (to Which I Call everyone) Necessary. There is no pattern at all in This “Bright” Divine Indifference. This human Body (Divinely-Avatarically here-Born) Is Always Already Seeing the Divine Self-“Brightness”. The Divine Self-“Brightness” Is Overwhelmingly Seen. This Is the Process of Divine Translation, the Process of the “Bright”, the Yoga of the “Bright”. It Is an extremely Profound Condition.
White Sun in the midst of the black field—the Lingam in the
The Lingam in the Yoni Is the Indivisible White Sun in the midst of the black field.
The true worship of the “Bright” is the “Perfect Practice” of (devotional-and-Transcendental-Spiritual) Yogic surrender into whole bodily devotional Communion with Me. The “Perfect Practice” is a practice Beyond and Prior to the collecting of the four psycho-physical faculties. The entire practice involved in collecting the four psycho-physical faculties in “Samraj Asana” allows the necessary equanimity to put your shoes in order at the door, to handle the life-context for doing practice and service.
That “Objectified” Form (Which can be Shown as a White Circle on a black field) is the Source-Vision—but It is “Objective” relative to Me, rather than Perfectly Subjectively Self-Realized As Me.
The Divine Lingam Is the Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself, Self-Existing At and As the “Root” of conditional existence—Self-Radiant and Perfectly “Bright” White in the black Yoni-base of all appearances. From the “point of view” of the body-mind-complex, the White Light appears to be Above the body-mind-complex, such that the “Midnight Sun” is seen in the dark sky. That is not “Root”-Realization—That is the Vision of a Reflection. Realization of the Divine Conscious Light (Itself) Is Beyond (and Prior to) That Vision. Realization of the Divine Conscious Light (Itself) Is Beyond the Sahasrar, and Prior to the heart-“root”. The Divine Self-“Brightness” Is Established, and then Shown.
When seen from the “point of view” of conditional existence, the White Core (or “Midnight Sun”) appears to be a Sphere. It is egg-like, ovoid, phallic.
Therefore, the only right Position with respect to conditional “experience” is the Position Perfectly Prior to attention, the Position Which Is simply the (Self-Evidently Divine) Love-Bliss-Current of Being—Perfectly Prior to “difference” and relatedness, and Perfectly Prior to the four psycho-physical faculties (Perfectly Prior to thoughts and perceptions of any kind, Perfectly Prior to emotions of a conditional, or limited, kind, Perfectly Prior to bodily states, and Perfectly Prior to breath). To be Established in That Perfectly Prior Position is to participate—no matter what arises—in My Divine Samadhi, by Means of My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission (and not by means of any exercise of a conditional kind). To be So Established does not require any kind of thought. There is no other practice. I Am not merely in Divine Samadhi. I Am Divine Samadhi—here and forever now.
If you can see My “Face”, you are already outside My House—standing in the yard, looking at the Full Moon. To want to see My Moon-Glow is to want to be “elsewhere”.
To continue to see darkness is not to allow yourself to be Overwhelmed by Light. There Is an Eternal Sun Over-head. It Is a Reflection of the Light in Which you Inhere. To see It is to be outside It. There is no option but to Be It. What is there to Be? Exactly That. Body and mind want to see the “Face” of God—because they are so far from the Truth. The body-mind-complex is the black field, the realm of conditions. No effort is required to transcend the body-mind-“self”. The body-mind-“self” is always already not-arisen. What seems to arise in association with the four psycho-physical faculties is not in the present. What seems to arise in association with the four psycho-physical faculties is past. Whenever any event is occurring, it takes time for the sensory signals to travel through nerve pathways and brain circuitry (and so on) and finally register in your conscious awareness. Thus, by the time you are aware of anything, it is no longer the case. Therefore, the four psycho-physical faculties are not a means of putting yourself “in touch” with the present. The four psycho-physical faculties are time. No thought always already exists—or you would be having that thought all the time.
Reality Itself Is Beyond the mind, and It Is Beyond time. Therefore, Reality Is Prior to the four psycho-physical faculties—because there is not anything registering via the four psycho-physical faculties that does not take time to be noticed.
Even the Divine Self-“Brightness” seems to be distant in the Midnight Sky. But all the apparent separateness is your own doing. Only the “self”-contraction puts time between you and “Perfect Knowledge”.
There is another Dimension—a Dimension That Is Coincident with (but not Identical to) all of the troubling appearances-in-time displayed by the four psycho-physical faculties. That Always-Already Dimension can, in some sense, be said to be “space”, rather than “time”—“space” in the Non-conditional (rather than conditional) sense. The Always-Already Dimension has nothing whatsoever to do with time. The Always-Already Dimension Precedes time. The Always-Already Dimension has nothing to do with strategically stopping anything—stopping thinkings, stopping emotings, stopping perceivings, and stopping breathings by the seeking-means of ego-life. The attempt to stop psycho-physical “experience” is simply an egoic strategy to control “experience”, so that you can “feel good”.
Of course, this collection of illusory time-constructs accounts for everything that you call your “self”! Everything that you refer to as your “self” is built on the four psycho-physical faculties, on time-based events. Therefore, everything that you refer to as your “self” is mere presumption—not an actual “someone” or “something” at all. It is all a mummery. Where is this arising? Before time-events, There Is Always Already the Space of Being, the Prior and Tacit Self-Apprehension of Being Itself. No thoughts, emotions, perceptions, breaths need to be stopped in order for This to Be So. No matter what arises—and even if there is not anything whatsoever that arises—There Is Only the Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Divine Love-Bliss-Current of Being, Always Already.
The Tacit Self-Apprehension of Being Is Inherent, Always Already. Therefore, the Tacit Self-Apprehension of Being is not Established by stopping the faculties. Such an effort can be made, as in the various sixth stage traditions that have developed “techniques” for dissociating from the faculties. However, dissociation from the faculties is not the “Perfect Practice” of the devotional and Transcendental Spiritual relationship to Me.
self”—it is your business to leave the body-mind-“self” at the Door.
You are not Me. I Am you. It is quite a different thing. I Am Always Dissolving (Myself, and all-and-All) in My Own Self-“Brightness”. This Is What I Do. This Is What I am Always Doing. This Doing Is Who I Am. This Is the Force and Nature of My Avatarically-Born, Avatarically Self-Transmitted, and Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Company.
The body-mind-complex is utterly incapable of binding Me. Indeed, the entire cosmic domain is utterly incapable of binding Me. Therefore, I need not dissociate from the cosmic domain in any fashion whatsoever. I Intrinsically Divinely Self-Recognize the cosmic domain in every moment of apparent arising—always Outshining “it” now. Therefore, I Am—Simply Free.
Human beings are ego-bound to “point of view”—locked into a physical shape, a conditionally apparent and limited “self”-image. In any case, Reality Itself is not a “point of view”. Therefore, Divine Self-Realization—or Most Perfect Realization of the Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself—is Non-local, and (therefore) Most Perfect Reality-Realization Outshines the body-mind and the “world”. That Is True. That Is the Truth. That is why renunciation and Realization are the same. It is not that there is something about the body that is to be avoided—as if it were a kind of trap, in and of itself. It is simply that Most Perfect Realization of Reality Itself Is Intrinsically egoless—and, therefore, Intrinsically (and literally) Non-local.
I Am Alone In My House
You can only be My servant, and never My equal—nor even an “other” to Me.
To enter My House is to enter the Divine “Bright” Self-Domain Itself. “You” must be Outshined in order to Be There. Divine Translation Is the only Entrance to My Boundless House of Conscious Light.
In Real “Heaven”, There Is Only the Divine Self-“Brightness”—without “difference”.
There is no utopia possible in conditionally apparent (and “cause-and-effect”-bound) time and space—where only limitation and change perpetually re-emerge and prevail.
Reality Itself Is the Absolute Critic of all of this. Simultaneously, Reality Itself Is the Absolute Enlightener—Providing the
There is no Absolute “Other”-Power merely making things happen. Countless beings and forces (visible and invisible) are making things happen. This is a “cause-and-effect” cosmos. There is no single “anything” that is “in charge”. Everything is “in charge”.
Therefore, I Call you to a life that is constantly being Transformed at its “root”—not by the “One Cause” that is “in charge” of everything (because there is no such “One Cause”), but by the One (Indivisible, and Acausal, and egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine) Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That Is Reality Itself (and That Is the Source-Condition of everything and everyone).
Ordinary human “knowing” seeks to control (or enclose) its “object”, because the human ego is fearful of being controlled by the “object”—no matter what the “object” is. Ordinary human “knowing” tries to “get the secrets” of the any “object”, so that the “object” can be brought under control (and, at last, destroyed).
However, in Reality, the Great Tradition is simply the comprehensive historical and collective manifestation of human ego-activity—ruthlessly aiming to get all-and-All it touches under its control.
All the traditional “methods” and “techniques”—“religious” or Spiritual, exoteric or esoteric—are about “getting a secret”, and using that “secret” to get the “object” under control. The effort underlying all traditional “methods” and “techniques” is to enable the ego to replace the Divine (or Reality Itself).
All presumptions of separateness, relatedness, otherness, and “difference” are egoic inventions—or mere illusions, made from the uninspected false perspective of space-time-“point-of-view”. In Reality Itself (As “It” Is), there is no separateness, no relatedness, no otherness, and no “difference”.
I Am the egoless Absolute Person of Reality Itself—Coincident with this time, and Consequential forever. I Am the Divine Self-Domain—the Perfect Sphere of Conscious Light.
The ego wants to hold on to itself—to keep on talking, keep on smiling, keep on the track of desiring, and, all the while, to stay detached, avoid what would intrude, and keep its “personal space” protected. It is only deluded “self”-imagery that allows anyone to justify “self”-bondage. True devotion to Me has no “self”-image.
Devotion has a necessary living force to it—because devotion is both attention and energy.
The energy of right and true devotion is a kind of flower, and the energy of right and true
devotion is a flower that always turns and moves to the Light of the Spiritual Master. The energy of right and true devotion is the “conductivity” that characterizes “radical” (or truly ego-transcending and Reality-Realizing) devotion to Me.
If you have too much to do in the “world”, such that you cannot be rightly and truly and constantly turned to Me, then you will never Realize the Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself.
When “self”-attention is forgotten, devotion is self-evident. And when “self”-attention is not forgotten, the lack of devotion is absolutely obvious, like a pile of garbage. There is no mistaking one for the other.
In that case, life no longer has power to bind or delude. In that case, life is not mere suffering any more, because it is not a “something” in and of itself. In that case, life is simply the context of Divine Beholding.
Right and true devotion to Me cannot be “sold” to egos.
to engage the preliminary Listening-practice (and, eventually, the “Perfect Practice”) of “Perfect Knowledge”.
My true devotees cease to carry on the patterned destiny of “point of view” in space-time. All of that is purified in the Divine Beholding of Me.
The Divine Self-Domain is not “located” in time and space. The Divine Self-Domain Is the Transcendental Spiritual Context of all of time and space—all-at-once.
Thus, Most Ultimately, Divine Beholding of Me Outshines the “world”—and, from the beginning, Divine Beholding of Me Outshines “self”.
To practice the Reality-Way of Adidam is not, itself and necessarily, about any kind of mere change of circumstance.
trapped in a terrible “Godless” machine, in which everything and everyone is reacting (rather than responding by surrendering) and contracting (rather than participating in the egolessness of Reality Itself).
The Essence of the daily practice of My devotees is the Ecstasy of Love-Communion with Me. One who loves Me accepts every moment of “experience” as My conditionally manifested Form.
How can I be “Perfectly Known” if the heart itself does not devotionally recognize Me?
Me. Because My true devotee always dwells in intrinsically egoless devotional Communion with Me at the heart-“root”, there is often joyous weeping, and sudden laughing—for no reason but the Fullness of “Perfectly Knowing” Me As I Am.
Gold can be made elementally pure and brilliant to the eye only through submission to fire.
The only Perfect Resolution to any “problem” Is always At the “Root”, Prior to the “problem”, and Prior to the state of “problem” itself, and Prior to the ego-“I” that “knows” and seeks in the domain of pattern itself.
You Are Not In, Of, and As the “world”. You Are Always Already—Priorly, and At “Root”—In Me, Of Me, and As Me (As I Am). What Is No-“point-of-view” Is all-and-All.
