The Gnosticon

The white circle in the black field (in the left half of the Image) 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.

Dressed in renunciatory orange,1 with his long hair pulled back, he seems by his demeanor to be both somber and ecstatic.

Said to be spontaneously initiated by the very powers of his own consciousness, such a rare, perfected master spontaneously achieves a profound understanding of and insight into the deepest meanings of all scriptures and all religions. And this, it is said, without undergoing any explicit outer initiation or instruction into those specific traditions.

The preliminary Listening-practice

of “Perfect Knowledge” is the Tacit (by-Me-Given) Reality-Way of simply Self-“Locating”, moment to moment, the Self-Position in Which you Always Already (or Always Priorly) Stand. (see part 11, essay VI)

This is the seventh stage of life which is the Position of Reality itself, of what truly IS, beyond any forms of states of consciousness, and senior to the position of the ego.

There is a dimension of existence that is off the edge of the mind. Words can only gesture paradoxically toward it. And yet the most urgent human need is to plumb this dimension, to get to the source of things, to know Reality with a capital “R”, in order to make sense of the chaos of experience.

AVATAR ADI DA SAMRAJ: Tcha. You must become relaxed from your agitated, contracted identification with the body-mind and its play, and become capable of simply Standing in the Native Position. Then all that Radiates from that Position informs the body-mind, informs the life, and you do not lose Reality in order to be alive. So “thoughtless feeling” is a simple way of describing what is Realized—Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, Non-conditional. Everything is Divinely Self-Recognizable in Reality—no longer the lie, the invented life made by dissociation from the Native State, but everything seen in Truth, in and As the Divine Self-Condition, Unobstructed Light, Unobstructed Consciousness, One with all, Transcending all, in a flash of no time whatsoever.

The Hidden Structure of the Body-Mind The effort to console, or “save”, or transform, or even dissolve the apparent “I”—which we all presume to be—is a major preoccupation of religion.

The gross (or outer) dimension corresponds to the physical level of experience and the waking state. The subtle (or inner) dimension includes everything to do with mind, emotion, and energy—including the domain of dreaming and psychic experience, as well as the range of supernormal experience that is commonly called “mystical”. The causal (or root) dimension refers to the depth where the “I”-“other” sense originates, thereby “causing”, or generating, the worlds of subtle and gross experience that extend from that root presumption of separate “identity”.

In the fifth stage of life, the fundamental “point of view” is no longer that of the waking state, but, rather, a persistent concentration in the subtle-energy centers in and above the head, in order to enter into states of ascended bliss—possibly including the experience of subtle lights, visions, sounds, and tastes. The sixth stage of life goes to the causal root. The effort of sixth stage practitioners is to abide as the Formless Reality (or Consciousness) that is intuited in the depth of meditative contemplation, and to discount (or turn away from) all experience (gross and subtle), in order to find and stay in touch with that Root-Reality.

While Adi Da Samraj freely experienced all the potential of Kundalini Yoga during His association with these Masters, He was never satisfied that the mystical experiences and exalted states (or samadhis)—no matter how dramatic or apparently profound—amounted to Ultimate Enlightenment.

I saw the muladhar appear below me as a Siva-lingam. Then I appeared below, my hands tied to the lingam in a gesture of prayer, pointing above. I rose up with the lingam into the sahasrar and experienced the perfect, Infinite, Unmoved Sat-Chit-Ananda—the Pure Existence-Consciousness-Bliss of the Indian Godhead, my own Ultimate Self-Nature as the Divine Being of all the world’s scriptures.

For several nights, I was awakened again and again with sharp lateral pains in my head. They felt like deep incisions in my skull and brain, as if I were undergoing a surgical operation.

as a polarized Energy that moved up and down through the various chakras (or functional centers), producing various effects—was now released from the chakra form. There was no more polarized Force. Indeed, there was no structure whatsoever—no up or down, no chakras…

But now I saw that Reality (and Real Consciousness) was not in the least determined by any form apart from Itself.

two of my devotees), my body suddenly jolted and twisted strongly on its spinal axis as the “Bright” Divine Transcendental Spiritual Current moved up from my heart, via the right side, to the crown of my head, and above—even into the most ascended Matrix of the “Bright” Divine Transcendental Spiritual Power, infinitely above the body and the cosmic domain.

Therefore, it is this Ultimate (or truly “regenerated”) Form (or Most Ultimate Realization) of the Atma Nadi—this “regenerated” Circuit and Current of Spiritual Love-Bliss, Which passes in an S-Shaped double-curve, front to back, from the heart (on the right side) to the crown of the head and to the Matrix of Light infinitely above the crown of the head—that I declare to be the perfect Form, the Form of Truth, the Form of Reality, the Form of the Heart.

Nowadays, it is presumed that everything must be a message for everybody. And, along with that, comes the presumption that it has to be adapted to everybody in some sense—in other words, you have to eliminate demands. This is part of what I have had to Work intensively to counter. The Ultimate Teaching can be given to everyone, but there are requirements.

The company of holy men and dispassion are the means to it. There is no other way.” 8

Give up identification with (the physical body and its) family, clan, name, form, and stage of life. These are based on nothing better than a rotting corpse. Give up also the attributes of the subtle body, such as the feeling that one does acts and enjoys individual experiences. Realize your true nature as undifferentiated unbroken bliss.

In the fifth stage “point of view” there are two realities—the world and the Divine, but the world is deemed to be made of the same “stuff” as the Divine. The sixth stage traditions insist that Reality is only Transcendental—the Very Divine Self, or Nirvana—and that the world is mere illusion, not real, not in fact existing.

However, as He has Revealed, the seventh stage of life is the supreme unfolding of Truth. The fact that conditions appear to exist ceases to be an issue that must be resolved—either by declaring conditions to be “Divine” (in the fifth stage manner) or by seeking to turn away from conditions and affirm the exclusive Reality of Consciousness (in the sixth stage manner). When Adi Da Samraj Re-Awakened to the “Bright”, He experienced the utter dissolution of all dilemma relative to conditions. In the seventh stage of life, there is no need to account for the worlds of experience. Rather, Atma Nadi radiates boundlessly to Infinity and there is no inwardness whatsoever, no “difference” between “outer” and “inner” and “root”. The gross, subtle, and causal structure is seen to be just the functional psycho-physical design of the human body-mind, and even of all of conditional existence.

Ramana Maharshi advised seekers to find out who it is that asks the question, thinks the thought, and so on. But that “who” is, in Reality, not an “entity”.

Therefore, in that traditional description, there is the ego—the objectified, solidified self. But I speak in terms of process, or movement.

Therefore, what has traditionally been called “the ego” is rightly understood to be an activity. And “radical” self-understanding is that direct seeing of the fundamental (and always present) activity that is suffering, ignorance, distraction, motivation, and dilemma. When that activity is most perfectly understood, then there is Spontaneous and Non-conditional Realization of That Which had previously been excluded from conscious awareness—That Which Is Always Already the Case. —My “Bright” Word

We see an apparent world of separate beings and things from a point of awareness that we call “I”. This is the world we presume to live in, the world we think is real. But it is real only from a limited “point of view”. And it is not a “free” world. It is a world fraught with the bondage of frenetic seeking—the never-ending search to overcome the core ego-stress that is our fundamental (and self-created) suffering.

On this extraordinary night, I sat at my desk late into the night. I had exhausted my seeking, such that I felt there were no more books to read, no possible kinds of ordinary experience that could exceed what I had already embraced.

I contemplated it as a whole, a dramatic singleness, and it moved me into a profound shape of life-feeling, such that all the vital centers in my body and mind appeared like a long funnel of contracted planes that led on to an infinitely regressed and invisible image. I observed this deep sensation of conflict and endlessly multiplied contradictions, such that I was surrendered to its very shape, as if to experience it perfectly and to be it.

The rising impulse caused me to stand, and I felt a surge of Force draw up out of my depths and expand, Filling my entire body and every level of my humanly-born conscious awareness with wave on wave of the most Beautiful and Joyous Energy. I felt absolutely mad, but the madness was not of a desperate kind. There was no seeking and no dilemma within it, no question—no unfulfilled motive, not a single object or presence outside myself.

The Energy in my body was overwhelming, and there was an ecstasy in every cell that was almost intolerable in its Pressure, Light, and Force.

Where there is no seeking, no contradiction, there is only the Non-conditional Knowledge and Power that is Reality. This was the first aspect of that sudden Clarity. In this State beyond all contradiction, I also saw that Freedom and Joy is not attained, that It is not dependent on any form, object, idea, progress, or experience. —The Knee of Listening

Adi Da Samraj sometimes refers to the first six stages of life as the “psycho-biography” of the ego, because these stages represent all the potential that the apparent persona can experience or achieve, by “playing” its structural mechanism—gross, subtle, and causal. In the midst of that vast range of possibility, however, the fundamental ego-activity, the motivated search, remains the same. At the causal depth, all that is left is the root-ego, the core sense of separateness, just the awareness of “I” and “other”, and the effort to resolve that last duality.

The disposition of “radical self-understanding” is to transcend the root “clench” in consciousness that is generating the search at every level.

In the current exchanges about the True Way of life, people are alternately invited either to submit themselves in childish, emotional, and cultic fashion (usually by grace of “hype”) to one or another glamorous tradition, personality, or possible effect, or else to assert their adolescent independence from any Divine Influence, Master, or Way by engaging in any one of the (seemingly numberless) cool, mental, and strategic “methods” of “self”-indulgence, “self”-absorption, “self”-help,12 de-programming, or certified sudden transcendentalism now available in these media-motivated times.

“Religious”, “Spiritual”, and “philosophical” revivals are so plastic and popular, as mindless as soap—and, yet, they seem always to distract the “world”.

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. What each one is obliged to do is to Realize, in his or her own case, 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.

That childish aspect in each individual always seeks to verify the condition of dependence in forms of safety and relative unconsciousness.

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. It is in childhood that the idea of “God-Apart”, or “Reality-Beyond”, is conceived.

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 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.

This is because the adolescent is always playing with impulsive allegiance to two mutually exclusive principles: dependence and independence.

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

Traditional Spirituality, in the forms in which it is most commonly proposed or presumed, is a characteristically adolescent creation that represents an attempted balance between the extremes. It is not a life of mere (or simple) absorption in the mysterious enclosure of existence. It is a life of strategic absorption.

Its goal is not merely psychological re-union, but total psychic release into some (imagined or felt) “Home” of being.

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 ego, “self”, or “soul” is the primary presumption of the adolescent—just as “God-Apart”, or That on Which all depends, is the primary presumption of the child. Therefore, in the usual human being, who is embedded in the adolescent conception of existence, the idea of “God” falls into doubt, or is chronically resisted. Thus, “sin” (or “missing the mark”)13 enters into the mind of adolescence.

“God-Apart” occupies the child, and “separate self” occupies the adolescent—and both child and adolescent see the “world” only in terms of their own distinct limiting principle (or characteristic form of suffering).

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 “experiential” dimension of the Divine Transforming Power contains every possibility for the holy or unholy fascination of children and adolescents.

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).

And the mature phase of life, fully demonstrated, is characterized not by the usual “religious and Spiritual solutions”, but by no-seeking, no-dilemma, no orientation toward the goal of any conceived or remembered state or condition. Only in the mature phase of life can you Realize the Perfectly Prior (and, thus, Always Present) Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That Is Reality Itself. Only a human being thus free “Knows” conditionally manifested existence in (and As) the Self-Nature and Self-Condition and Self-State of the Real (and Intrinsically egoless, and Perfectly Acausal) Divine, Which is also the Process and Form and Light and Fullness of all the “worlds”.

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.”

Rather, I Describe the basis of the True Transcendental Spiritual Process as a mysterious intuition that—no matter how many others are present, no matter how many people are present, including yourself, no matter what is arising—There Is Only One Reality, One Self-Nature, One Self-Condition, One Source-Condition, One Self-State. That One is not “Other”. That One is not your parent. And, in phenomenal and “experiential” terms, That One is not merely devoted to rewarding and punishing you, supporting you and protecting you. Rather, That One Is the Acausal Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State of all phenomenal conditions—including all opposites, even all contradictions. Thus, you cannot account for That One in childish terms.

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.

All of this conditionally arising “world” is a modification of That One, a “play” upon That One.

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.

the Domain of Prior Existence (or Is-ness), the Tacit Self-Apprehension of Being (Itself).

This esoteric mystical process goes beyond the conventions of exoteric “religion” to develop the psychophysical 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”. And conventional “God-religion” then becomes the means (through structures of belief, sacramental worship, mystical prayer, Yogic or shamanistic ascent, and so forth) for the re-exercise of “creaturely” free will in the direction of “God”, “Good”, the triumph over “Evil” and death in this “world”, and the ascent from material form and consciousness to Spiritual, “Heavenly”, or “Godly” form and consciousness.

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.

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”. To the ego (or present temporary form of being), “self”-preservation may seem to be the inevitable motive of being. Therefore, a struggle develops to destroy or escape the dynamic of conditional Nature by dominating “Evil” (or death) with “Good” (or immortality).

When the ego (or “self”-contraction) is understood and transcended, then conditional Nature is seen in the Light of Reality Itself. And, in that case, the egoic struggle in conditional Nature or against conditional Nature is also understood and transcended. Then life ceases to be founded on the need to defeat the dynamic of conditional Nature via conventional “knowledge”, power, immortality, or mystical escape.

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.

Thus and So: Neither “self” nor not-“self” nor relatedness nor “difference” exists (as such). Only Reality Itself—One, and Indivisible, and Acausally Self-Evident—Exists (As Such). Reality Itself Is the “world” of conditionally apparent all-and-All. So Be “It”.

The Three Great Principles Of All Truth

The Divine Principle of Indivisibility: Reality (Itself) Is Inherently Indivisible (One and Divine and Non-conditional and Absolute) II.The Universal (or Cosmic) Principle of Unity and Non-“Difference”: The “world” (or the conditionally manifested cosmos) is Inherently A Unity (Which, In and As its True Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State, is Inherently Non-“different” from The One and Indivisible and Absolute and Non-conditional Divine Reality) III.The psycho-physical Principle of Non-Separateness: The individual psycho-physical entity is Inherently Non-separate from The “world”-Unity (or The Inherently Unified cosmic Totality, Which is Whole and Universal) and, also, Inherently Non-separate from The Inherently Indivisible Divine Reality (or The One and Conscious Light That Is The One and Only Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of all-and-All)

REAL (ACAUSAL) GOD Is THE PERFECT DEEP OF THE HAPPEN OF SEEMING WORLD

and

2. Real (Acausal) God (or Reality Itself) Is Obvious To The Free (or egoless) Heart. Only The Heart (Free Of “self”-Contraction) Can Self-“Locate” (or See) and Realize The True and Real Acausal Divine Person. The conditional (or “self”-Contracted) Heart Does Not Realize Real (Acausal) God In the present—and, Therefore, the Heartless body and the Heartless mind Become Preoccupied With Seeking For ego-Fulfillment, ego-Release, and ego-Consolation, Through every kind of conditionally Attainable “experience”, “knowledge”, and belief (including merely conventional, or exoteric, or ego-Based, or “subject-object”-Based, “religious” beliefs and practices).

Therefore, Real (Acausal) God Need Not Be Sought. 4. Real (Acausal) God Is Only Avoided By Any Kind Of Seeking. To Seek Is To Fail To Admit and To Realize Real (Acausal) God, or That Which Is Always Already The Case. Real (Acausal) God Is Realized Only By Self-“Locating” That Which Is Always Already The Case.

Indeed, Real (Acausal) God Is Always Already Prior To each and every conditionally Attained “experience”, or form of “knowledge”, or form of belief.

7. Real (Acausal) God Is Not The Maker Of conditional Nature. Real (Acausal) God Is The Non-conditional Nature (or Most Prior Condition) Of conditional Nature. 8. Real (Acausal) God Is Not Merely The “Cause” Of all “causes” and all “effects”. Real (Acausal) God Is The Source and The Source-Condition Of all “causes” and all “effects”.

8. Real (Acausal) God Is Not The “Creator”. Real (Acausal) God Is The Liberator. Real (Acausal) God Is Not The Way In. Real (Acausal) God Is The Way Out. The Way Of Real (Acausal) God Is Not The Way Of “self”-Seeking, “self”-Increase, and “self”-Success. The Way Of Real (Acausal) God Is The Way Of Devotional “self”-Surrender (or The Way Of Really Transcending the ego-“I”).

9. Real (Acausal) God Is The God (or The Truth and The Reality) Of Consciousness, Freedom, Love-Bliss, Being, and Oneness. Real (Acausal) God Is Not The “God” (The “Cause”, The “Doer”, or Even The Victim) Of Un-Consciousness (or mere “causes” and “effects”). Therefore, Real (Acausal) God Is Not The “God” Of Bondage, Un-Happiness, Death (or Separation), and “Difference”. 21. Real (Acausal) God Is The “Subject”—Not The “Object”. Real (Acausal) God Is The Inherent Unity Of Being. Real (Acausal) God Is The Integrity—Not The “Cause”—Of the “world”.

10. All “things” Are the media of all “things”, but Real (Acausal) God Is Not The Maker—For Real (Acausal) God Is Like A Hidden Spring Within the water’s “world”, and Real (Acausal) God Is Prior Even To “Cause” (and every “cause”), and Real (Acausal) God Is The Self-Domain Of Even every “effect”, and Real (Acausal) God Is The Being (Itself) Of all that appears. Therefore, Real (Acausal) God Merely Is—and Is Is What Grants every appearance (every being, every thing, every condition, and every conditional process) The Divine Sign Of Mystery, Love, Bliss, and Joy.

progressively associated with one or more of three principal orientations (in practice): either asceticism (or the extreme orientation toward annihilation of the psycho-physical “self”), or the more moderately “self”-disciplined course and orientation toward pacification of the psycho-physical “self”, or the ultimate course and orientation toward Non-conditional (or Perfectly Subjective) Self-Identification (and tacit, or effortless, transcending of the psycho-physical “self”).

Because, 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 sixth stage error is associated with the psycho-physical mechanism of the causal body—but the causal body is not (thereby) functionally exploited in terms of its “root”-content (which is, essentially, attention itself). Rather, in the sixth stage traditions, the characteristic of the practice is to strategically dissociate from the entire domain of gross, subtle, and causal conditions.

The total (or tripartite) ego-“I” is always directly (and with always immediate effectiveness) transcended in the right, true, and full (or complete) formal practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam (Which is the right, true, and full formal practice of whole-bodily-recognition-responsive devotional turning to Me).

Only on the basis of that necessary foundation-Realization of “positive disillusionment” can the functional life-energy and the attention of the entire body-mind-complex (or of the total body-brain-mind) be released from gross ego-bondage (or “self”-deluded confinement to the psycho-physical illusions of gross “self”-contraction).

The human entity (and even any and every conditionally manifested entity of any and every kind) is inherently deluded—by its own (egoic, or “self”-contracted) “experience” and “knowledge”.

However, I do not Call My devotees to any such dissociative disposition relative to their own psycho-physical structure (or relative to any aspect of conditionally manifested existence whatsoever). I do not Call My devotees to the strategy of excluding attention from the gross dimension of the human psycho-physical structure. Indeed, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” (or “At-the-Root”) Reality-Way of Adidam (or Adidam Ruchiradam) is specifically not founded on an attitude of dissociation from the existential context of the human body-mind-complex. The practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam is founded in the transcending of the human psycho-physical structure—but not by means of a dissociative act.

Such perceptually-based and Transcendentally-Spiritually-based equanimity makes it possible for My devotee to rightly understand (and relate to) his or her own body-mind-complex—without falling into either the gross-minded Omega error of reductionism or the Alpha error of dissociation—as a manifestation arising within the context of a Universal Unity of utter Non-separateness and Ultimate Non-“difference”.

In that participatory mode, the whole body of My devotee coincides with That Which Is Universal, Spiritually Real, Transcendental, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine.

But I have not been seated in desire, and desire has only been a “play” that I have grown to understand, and to enjoy without conflict, and to transcend—within the Sphere of My Inherent Finality. I have always been Seated in the “Bright”.

Shining from My heart. It was an Expanding Sphere of Joy from the heart. And I was a Radiant Form—the Source of Energy, Love-Bliss, and Light in the midst of a “world” that is entirely Energy, Love-Bliss, and Light.

I was the same as every one and every thing—except, it became clear that others were apparently unaware of the “Thing” Itself.

And That Formless, Spaceless Form of Consciousness Is Self-“Bright”, Silent, and Full—Knowing Only and Entirely This Indivisible Reality, and seeing no problem, no separation, in the fact of life. This “Bright”, This Real and Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Consciousness, This Indivisible Conscious Light, Is the Perfect Intrinsic Form of Reality Itself, and the Perfectly Acausal Source-Condition of the living condition of conditionally apparent everything. And It is never undone. It Is now. It Is Me. And It Is you—Prior to and Always Already Beyond your ego-“I” of body-mind.

When such confusions of false and egoic identity overwhelm and distract the heart into some division of the living structure of conditionally apparent existence, the heart is moved to great seeking in all the paired alternatives of life.

The “Thumbs” has always appeared to Me like “tongues”—or the Arrow of an Overwhelmingly Descending Force—Coming down upon Me from Above, and down via My head and throat. And, when the “Thumbs” Thus Enters deep into My body, the electro-magnetic or otherwise energic balances of My living being are suddenly reversed. On several of the earliest remembered occasions, I felt as if the body had risen above the ground somewhat. And, thus, I was actually levitated—to one or another degree. During the Event of the “Thumbs”, the body always ceases to be polarized toward the ground, or to be oriented in the gravitational direction of the Earth’s center. There is always a strong reversal of polarity, communicated along a line of Force analogous to the spine.

And, when this reversal of Energy has taken place completely, I Reside in a totally different “Body”—Which also Contains, and even Supersedes, the physical body. That “Body” is spherical in shape. And the sensation of dwelling as that Energy-Form is completely peaceful. The physical body is completely relaxed, and polarized to the shape of this other (spherical) “Body”. The mind becomes quieted—and, then, there is a movement in the field of awareness that goes even deeper, into a profound State of Self-Radiant Self-Consciousness—That Is beyond all that is merely physical, and That Is entirely free of thought and mind and ego-sense.

In every such Event, the Love-Blissful, unthreatened Current of the “Bright” Emanated Freely and Unlimitedly from My heart—and not a pulse of It was limited by My otherwise conditional existence, or the apparent existence of the seeming “world”.

The ego-“I” is the complex psychophysical pattern of “self”-contraction!

Indeed, it became clear to Me that all such “objects” are grasped in a state that is already seeking, and which has already lost the (Intrinsic, Prior, and Inherently Perfect) Self-Knowledge of absolutely Non-conditional Reality Itself! Beyond all of that, I saw that the Truth, or Reality Itself, is a matter of the absence of all contradictions—of every trace of conflict, opposition, division, or desperate motivation within. Where there is no seeking, no contradiction, there Is only the Inherent Non-conditional Knowledge and Power That Is Reality Itself. This was the First Aspect of My Sudden Clarity.

The problem was the seeking itself—which “created” and enforced contradiction, conflict, and absence within.

However, I, now and suddenly, had Re-Discovered that this striving was itself the source of contradiction in Me. Now, I Knew there Is no “entity” of Truth. I Knew that Perfect Freedom Is Always Already The Case.

I Am That One. I am not merely “experiencing” That One. I Am the “Bright”.

Even My meditation of Spiritual Absorption was changed. Indeed, there was no meditation. This Conscious Self-Light could not be deepened. Nor could it be enlarged. It always only Remained What It Is. I noticed a physical change in Me. My belly dropped down and out—and it spontaneously expanded.

Immediately, I Realized that I was not in any sense “in” a body—not only a physical body, but any body, or any psycho-physical function, or even any subtle function, form, or state. Nor have I ever been in a body, or in any function, or in any condition, or in any conditional state or “experience”. All such things are merely apparent (and not at all necessary or inevitable) patterns—conditionally manifested within the Self-Radiance of My Own Self-Existing Being.

There is a constant Sensation of Transcendentally Spiritually Self-“Bright” Fullness Permeating and Surrounding all “experiences”, all things, all bodies, all functions of body and mind. It is My Own Self-“Bright” Fullness, Which Is Inherently Non-separate. My Own Self-“Bright” Fullness includes all beings and all things.

During the night of humankind, I spontaneously Self-Awakened As Perfect, Absolute, Limitless, Indivisible, Non-conditional Love-Bliss Itself—in Which every function, state, and sign of body and mind boiled into a solder of Non-separate and Non-dual Reality.

Now there are no loose ends to My adventure. There is no dilemma, no motivation, no search. All the parts of the mind have been transposed and dissolved in a Most Fundamental and Indivisible Singleness.

It feels like a solid and yet fluid Mass of Force, like a large hand all made of thumbs—Pressing Down from Infinitely Above20 the mind and the crown of the head, and via the crown of the head, Engorging the total head (and the throat), and (Thus and Thereby) Penetrating and Vanishing the entire mind, and Vastly Opening the emotional core, and (altogether) In-Filling the total physical body.

My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Presence Is the Light (of the “Midnight Sun”, Infinitely Above all-and-All) That Illuminates and Self-Reveals the Divine Heart-Secret of “matter”. Consciousness (Itself) Is Me within the Light—Self-Existing and Self-Radiant As the One, and Only, and Inherently Love-Blissful, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State of all-and-All. Consciousness Itself and Light Itself (or Love-Bliss-Energy Itself)—Are As the Two Sides of the Same Coin. The Moon Is the Coin of Earth, Floating (by a toss) within the Sky of ego-mind. The Witness-Consciousness is not within you. The Witness-Consciousness is on the “Skin” of the “Thumbs”. The Witness-Consciousness is Self-Evident in the “Thumbs”—Wherein the status of “objects” is profoundly different than it is ordinarily. In the Yogic Disposition of the “Thumbs”, the condition of “objects” is available to be Comprehended in Consciousness As the Witness.

The Witness-Consciousness Is the “Skin” of the “Thumbs”. I Am the “Skin” of the heart—and not merely inside it. I Am the “Pulse” of the heart—and not merely the “Blood” of it. The “Thumbs” Is the Sphere of the Space of Consciousness (Itself).

When Consciousness (Itself) becomes attention (or separate-“self”-consciousness), and Light (Itself)—or Love-Bliss-Fullness (Itself)—becomes “objects” (or the vast display of separate “things”), Consciousness (as attention) and Light (as the body-mind-complex, and as the total cosmic domain of “things”) forever Gaze at One Another through the dimensionless wall of their apparent “difference”. If Consciousness (Itself)—As the Witness—is Realized As the Inherent Love-Bliss-Current of Being (Itself), Consciousness (Itself) and Light (Itself) Are (Eternally) Not “Different”. When the Circle becomes the Sphere, the Two Sides of the One Coin become Continuous—and all opposites are Always Already Divinely Self-Recognized to Be Simultaneous, and of One Shape, and of One Condition.

The Revelation of the Divine Avataric Way of Truth makes all ego-based seeking a mere diversion from the Truth. The practice of the (necessarily, ego-transcending) Divine Avataric Way of Truth depends on the immediate vanishing of egoity, rather than on any exercise of merely egoic traits. Therefore, no one is egoically qualified to Realize the Truth.

Those who approach Me without profound recognition of Me As I Am tend to defend themselves from My Criticism and My Gaze. Thus, those who approach Me without profound recognition-response to My Divine Avataric Person tend to make themselves unavailable to the real devotional relationship to Me—because they are involved in egoic “self”-bondage, and they want to protect that egoic “self”-bondage.

Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is—at “root”—searchless Beholding of Me. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is the Transcendental Spiritual Process of Intrinsically egoless “Perfect Knowledge” of Me. The Process of Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga, in Its various modes and dimensions of Demonstration, Continues up to and into and through and As Divine Translation. Therefore, the practice of Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is (from the beginning) the profundity of—and the steady participation in—whole-bodily-true devotional recognition-response to Me.

My Divine Avataric Self-Radiance Is the “Bright”. Thus, the “Bright” is not merely a visually “experienced” brightness (or a conditionally apparent phenomenon of material light) that you perceive by means of, or in the context of, the body-mind-complex. The “Bright” Is Only Itself—the Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality 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”.

to be embraced by My First Congregation devotees (once the transition is made beyond the student-beginner stage) is Fully Described by Me in My Hridaya Rosary (including My “Four Thorns of Heart-Instruction”) and in My Dawn Horse Testament.

As My searchlessly Me-Beholding devotee, you do not “do” anything Spiritually. Rather, you tangibly “Experience” Me Transcendentally Spiritually. The entire by-Me-Given (and Me-Realizing) Process Comes from Above—but That does not mean that you seek Me Above or that you merely entertain a mind-based belief that I Am Above.

(as I have Described)—but such signs are not to be “self”-generated (or, in any manner, “self”-stimulated by ego-based psycho-physical seeking-efforts).

That Divine Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not generated from below. That Divine Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga does not seek toward What Is Above. That Divine Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga Is (tangibly, and directly) a matter of the Transcendental Spiritual “Locating” and “Knowing” of Me—Freely Avatarically Given (from Above and Beyond) As a Divine Gift, In-Filling your (spontaneously, and only recognition-responsively) Upward-to-Me-turned whole body (Established in the “Healing Pose” of “Samraj Asana” only by Means of My tangibly “Experienced” Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission).

Then the apparent power of events to undermine devotional Communion with Me is both intrinsically transcended and more and more effectively diminished and undone.

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).

I Am Above and Beyond. I Am all-and-All-Surrounding and all-and-All-Pervading. However, even though I Persist Eternally Thus and So, I cannot Enter (and be, Thereupon, Received) into your “room” if there is no opening in the “ceiling”. If there is no “hole” in the “ceiling”, then there can be no Transcendental Spiritual “Locating” and “Knowing” of Me.

Once (Thus) Established, that requirement always continues—no matter what “experiences” arise.

Once I Stand in you, you say I Am As a Pillar That Extends from even underground to the Highest High. And I Am “Bright”. And all things flow in Me. This is What It Is to See Me As I Am.

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. It feels like a solid and yet fluid mass of Force, like a large hand all made of thumbs—Pressing Down from Infinitely Above the mind and the crown of the head, and via the crown of the head, Engorging the total head (and the throat), and (Thus and Thereby) Penetrating and Vanishing the entire mind, and Vastly Opening the emotional core, and (Altogether) In-Filling the total physical body.

This Yogic Event will Occur with such Force that you will feel utterly (Love-Blissfully) “Intoxicated”—and there will be the feeling that the body is somehow rotating forward and down (from the crown of the head), as well as backward and up (from the base of the spine).

You will feel This “Energy Body” to be Spherical in shape—Centerless (Empty, or Void, of center, mind, and familiar ego-“self”) and Boundless (as if even bodiless, or without form), although (somehow, and partially) also yet associated with (while rotating from and Beyond) your ordinary psycho-physical form.

Nevertheless, just when This Spontaneous Transcendental Spiritual “Experience” has become Most Pleasurable—such that you somehow gesture to make It continue indefinitely—the ordinary sense of the body-mind-“self” will, suddenly (spontaneously), return. The “Thumbs” is not a process of “going somewhere else”, nor is It even a process of “vacating” the gross physical body (or the gross physical realm altogether). Rather, the “Thumbs” Is a Process of Transformation of the “experiencing” of the present physical circumstance.

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).

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”). That “Maha-Bindu” Is the (fifth stage) conditionally Revealed Upper Terminal of Atma Nadi—or of the “Self-Channel of Connection” to the True Divine Heart (Which Self-Evidently Divine Heart Is Always Already Seated immediately Beyond the internally felt seat of the sinoatrial node, in the right side of the bodily apparent heart).

In the Intrinsic Heart-Unity of Atma Nadi, and As the Non-“different” Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain, the 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.

Directly after the Event of Priorly Ascended Nirvikalpa Samadhi, I was tacitly aware that the Realization of conditionally Ascended Nirvikalpa Samadhi (necessarily) depended on the exercise (and on a unique, precise attitude and arrangement) of the conditional apparatus (and intrinsically hierarchical pattern) of the body, the brain, and the mind (and of attention)—and that, therefore, that Realization was (yet) conditionally dependent (or psychophysically supported), and, necessarily (or in that sense), limited (or, yet, only a temporary stage in the progressive Process of un-“Veiling”), and, therefore, non-Final.

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).

Seventh stage Divine Self-Realization Intrinsically Transcends both the conditional (or psycho-physical) Vertical apparatus of the brain (or of the Sahasrar, Which is the conditional Seat of Realization proposed in the fifth stage traditions of mystical absorption) and the conditional (or psycho-physical) Horizontal apparatus of the heart (or, in particular, of the right side of the bodily apparent heart—which is the conditional Seat of Realization proposed by Ramana Maharshi,41 and, usually in a more generalized manner, within the sixth stage traditions of Transcendental practice).

randomly inhaled in Descent and exhaled in Ascent). In the case of the “Perfect Practice”, That Transcendental Spiritual Process of Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is continually engaged Via the Perfect Form of “Samraj Yoga” (engaged as “Radical Self-Abiding” and “Radical Transcendental Spirit-Conductivity”). The preliminary practice of “Perfect Knowledge” Awakens Tacit Establishment In and As the Witness-Position of Consciousness Itself.

The most fundamental qualification for the Transcendental Spiritual Process in My Divine Avataric Company is to be Tacitly and Priorly Established, moment to moment, in the Intrinsically ego-Transcending Disposition That Is Always Already Perfectly Prior to the body-mind-“self”.

The bodily apparent heart is a complex mechanism, consisting of three primary regions. The left side of the bodily apparent heart is associated with the waking state, the frontal line, and the gross dimension of conditionally manifested existence—and, thus, with ordinary emotions and the physical action of the heart. The middle region of the bodily apparent heart (or the heart chakra, or anahata chakra) is associated with the dreaming state, the spinal line, and the subtle dimension of conditionally manifested existence—and is, thus, the place of the feeling dreamer, the place of visions. The right side of the bodily apparent heart—associated with the state of deep sleep and the causal dimension of conditionally manifested existence, and physically associated with the “pace-maker”, that generates the heartbeat in rhythms all across the chest, from right to left—is the “root” of egoic “self”-awareness.

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. No matter what arises, you Are Consciousness Itself.

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 Witness-Position must be Self-Evidently the Case—not merely (so to speak) “on call” whenever you “gather the faculties” to notice that It Is the Case.

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. However, in Truth, the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself Is Inherently actionless and Intrinsically Free.

The Transcendental Spiritual Process of the Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam begins Prior to the right side of the bodily apparent heart (and, Thus, Prior to the causal knot). 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).

Therefore, the practice of My “Four Thorns of Heart-Instruction” is based on the tacitly assumed disposition of the Witness-Position—and that tacitly assumed disposition is the characteristic demonstration (and proof) of the preliminary practice of “Perfect Knowledge”.

The Fundamental Characteristic of Most Perfect Divine Self-Realization Is Love-Bliss—not any kind of psycho-physical Yogic phenomena (in the mode of the first five stages of life), and not any kind of exclusion of phenomena (in the mode of the sixth stage of life).

searchless Beholding of Me.

My Love-Bliss Is the “Thickness” in the air—without a psychophysical sign in “It”.

I Am to be breathed As That—As Love-Bliss Itself, the Tangible Force of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Transcendental Spiritual (and Always Blessing) Divine Presence.

Therefore, the disposition of “Four Thorns of Heart-Instruction” is simply the whole bodily searchless Beholding of That Which Transcends the body-mind-“self”. That Which Transcends the body-mind-“self” Is Me—Above and Beyond and Prior to the body-mind-“self”, and at the “Root” of the whole body. I Am Standing Infinitely Above the body-mind—in My Self-Existing Self-Radiance. I Stand here As the “Root”-Current of Transcendental Spiritual Love-Bliss (or Atma Nadi), Shining from the right side of the bodily apparent heart.

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”. The practice of “Self-enquiry” Ramana Maharshi taught revolves strategically away from the body-mind-“self”—through a process of dissociative introversion, in the characteristically sixth stage manner—and toward the interior (and, thus, psycho-physically inward) “Source” of the egoic “I”-thought (or the “I-object”).

In the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, there is no turning toward “self” and no turning away from “not-self”.

but, rather, it is the Always Prior (and Intrinsically egoless) practice of tacitly and searchlessly and Always Already Self-Abiding As the Self-Evident Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That Is (Always Already) Not-an-“object”.

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). When There Is the Establishment of the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State, There Is Self-Abiding Divine Self-Recognition of all arising conditions.

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.

Real God is not an “alternative experience”, in relation to your present-time “experience”. The “alternative reality” seems hopeful to you only when you are egoically “self”-contracted, and (thus and thereby) trapped in an egoic “self”-enclosure of fear and recoil, identified with the illusory separate “interior” of the body, and, as a result, mired in egoically “self”-divided passivity, doubt, and vulnerability. 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.

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. On the contrary, the Realization of Reality Itself, or Real God, Is a matter of Total and Absolute Freedom from egoic “self”-contraction, “self”-recoil, and strategic “inwardness”. Thus, Real-God-Realization is not the “result” of dissociative introversion, but “It” Is the Perfect Demonstration of the complete release of feeling-attention—Boundlessly, to Infinity—via the whole-bodily-recognition-responsive participatory rightening of all psycho-physical functions and conditions. 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.

However, It Is Always Already the Case that—entirely Prior to and independent of conditional “experiences” of any ordinary or extraordinary kind—you can, in any moment, and moment to moment, Be “Radically” (or “At the Root”) Free, As Intrinsic “Perfect Knowledge”, and As Intrinsic Love-Bliss-Fullness Itself.

When you tacitly Stand Free—Intrinsically Free of the motive and the “method” of dissociative introversion, the strategically “inward”-turning recoil of feeling-attention, the egoically “self”-directed tendency in relations and in the patterns of “experience”—when you Are Thus Self-Established in Equanimity, Intrinsically Free of reaction and recoil, then you Are completely Free of the “argument of inwardness”, the deceit of ego-mind, the illusory belief that Reality Itself, rather than Being Intrinsically egoless, “problem”-free, searchless, Indivisible, Acausal, and Free As “It” Is, is, instead, an internal “cause”, to be re-discovered and attained only through turning dissociatively “within”. 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.

That sought-for “other” (or “alternative”) state is, characteristically, a mode of “intoxicated” exaltation of the ego-“self”, in which whatever may not be entirely pleasurable or satisfactory or blissful in the present conditional pattern is replaced by some mode of desired pleasurable conditionality. 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.

Therefore, in the right and whole-bodily-true practice of Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga, the head does not fall, the mind does not wander, and the body does not go through stimulated changes of state or “experience”. In the right and whole-bodily-true practice of Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga, the entire conditional pattern of the body-mind-complex is turned to Me in a state of equanimity and (thereupon) transcended in the searchless Beholding of Me.

The separate “self” does not exist—except in mind. The separate “self” is a mental (and, altogether, total psychophysical) 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.

Realization of Reality Itself is not Realization of a superior, developed, or “evolved” ego-state. Realization of Reality Itself has nothing to do with “self”-identity, or ego-“I”.

Realization of Reality Itself has nothing to do with anything that can be “accumulated” or “achieved” in the states of waking, dreaming, and sleeping.

In the Realization of Reality Itself, all such “accumulating” and “achieving” is Dissolved, Vanished, and Outshined in the Divine.

Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not a process of developing the potentials of the gross, subtle, and causal patterning of the conditional persona.

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.

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?

Outshining Is Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga.

Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not about dissociating from conditions. Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga is not about attachment to conditions.

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”).

Divine Indifference Is, necessarily and inevitably, the Immediate Precedent to Divine Translation.

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. In Divine Indifference, there Is Intrinsic and Perfect Readiness for That “Deliverance”. In Divine Indifference, there is only the slightest noticing of arising appearances. Nevertheless, in Divine Indifference, the “edges” of arising appearances are still visible in the all-and-All-Pervading “Brightness”.

Death is like all the other events of conditional existence—simply part of the pattern-cycle of appearing, changing, and disappearing.

To live as My devotee is to be My servant. To be My servant means that you are always devotionally Communing with Me—even in every moment of service to Me.

Divine Translation is not about finally “getting rid of” the gross physical body. Similarly, Divine Translation is not about finally “abandoning” the “world”. Rather, Divine Translation is about Self-Abiding Divine Self-Recognition of everything gross, everything subtle, and everything causal—such that there is no longer anything binding about conditional existence, no longer any necessity to cling to conditional existence, and no longer any necessity to dissociate from conditional existence. In Divine Translation, conditional existence is Simply Outshined by That Perfectly egoless Divine Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light In and As Which My true devotee is Self-Established in Perfect Communion with Me.

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”.

Therefore, in the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, Realization and renunciation are the same. In the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, Realization and renunciation are not “two different things”. It is simply that renunciation does not “cause” Realization—nor does Realization “cause” renunciation.

If you whole bodily recognize Me As I Am, then you (inevitably) whole bodily respond to Me As I Am—and, thus, as renunciation, as “self”-forgetting, and as the intrinsic transcending of egoity.

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”.

That Is the “Thunder-Crack” of Reality Itself, when Reality Itself Shatters the illusion of all appearances. Then you Are in the Infinite Room, Prior to the mind, the body, and the “world”. The Boundlessness and Centerlessness of Love-Bliss That Is My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain Is What There Is to Realize.

Truth Is That Which, when fully Realized (and, Thus, “Known”, even via the transcending of all conditional “knowledge” and all conditional “experience”), Sets you Free from all bondage and all seeking. Truth Is Eleutherios, the Divine Liberator.

Therefore, Freedom is not Realized even in the attainment of an Ultimate “Object” of mere (or conditional) “knowledge”.

Therefore, the only “proof” (or right “affirmation”) of the Existence of Real (Acausal) God is the Real, and “radical” (or most direct, or Inherent, and not “caused”), and (Ultimately) Most Perfect Realization of That Which Always Already Exists.

Your search for bodily and mental and (altogether) emotional “objects” is your bondage. Your search (or moment to moment effort of wanting need) is the sign of a fundamental stress, or always already presumed un-Happiness (or absence of Love-Bliss). If you (Always Already) Understand that your search is un-Happiness (or the refusal of Love-Bliss)—and that, indeed, seeking is (itself) the “root”, and the only form, of all un-Happiness—then you (Always Already) Stand heart-Free, even in (apparent) relation to all of your possible “objects”, all of your possible “experiences”, and all of your possible ideas. This Prior Understanding intrinsically transcends all “experiences” and all ideas. Therefore, in any moment, your exercise of this Prior Understanding reduces your motivation toward “objects”—and, thus, it permits your attention to be relaxed, released, and transcended in the otherwise uninspected (and Perfectly Subjective) Reality (or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant and Intrinsically egoless and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State) That Is Consciousness Itself and Love-Bliss Itself.

NINE Love-Bliss Itself, or Truth Itself, or Real (Acausal) God, or Reality Itself cannot be Found, “Located”, or Realized by the movement of attention in the midst of the “objects”, relations, conditions, or states of the individual (conditional, or “experientially” defined) “self”. Love-Bliss Itself, or Truth Itself, or Real (Acausal) God, or Reality Itself cannot be Found or Attained by the movement of attention in the realm of conditional Nature itself (or the movement of attention in relation to whatever is not Divinely Self-Recognized to Be Consciousness Itself).

TEN All seeking (or every exercise of wanting need) necessarily (or inherently) fails to “Locate” Love-Bliss Itself. Therefore, all seeking becomes, at last, the necessity to “consider” Consciousness Itself (Which Is the Always Most Prior Source-Condition, and the Inherently Free Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State, of all wanting need). In order to Realize Love-Bliss Itself, all seeking (or all wanting need) must dissolve (or be transcended) in the profound Realization of Inherent (and Intrinsically egoless, or Non-separate) Self-Identification with Consciousness Itself—Which (Always Already) Stands Free, Always Already Most Prior to all seeking (or all exercises of wanting need).

Consciousness Itself—Which Is Non-“caused”, Self-Existing, Unchanging, and Transcendental (or Non-conditional) Being and Self-Radiant, Eternal, Indivisible, and Indestructible Love-Bliss—Is the One and Only Divinely Liberating Truth, the One and Only Real (Acausal) God, and the One and Only Non-separate Reality. Consciousness Itself is Self-“Located” and Realized by transcending the bondage of attention to the conditional “self” (or body-mind-complex) and its relations. This is done only by returning attention to its Source-Condition, by releasing (or intrinsically transcending) attention in the Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain of Love-Bliss-Consciousness (Itself).

Consciousness (Itself) Is That Which, when fully Realized, Sets you Free from all bondage and all seeking.

Consciousness (Itself) is (of and As Itself) never “other” than, or “different” from, or separate from, or standing over against, or (Really) related to any “object”, or apparent “other”, or “thing”.

THIRTEEN When everything is Realized to Be Consciousness (Itself), There Is Only Consciousness (Itself). Then There Is Only Truth (Itself), and Only Love-Bliss (Itself), or Freedom from all bondage to the conditional “self” and the conditional “world”. Then “you” (Non-separately, Self-Radiantly Exceeding the ego-“I” of psycho-physical “self”-contraction) Are Consciousness (Itself), Truth (Itself), and Love-Bliss (Itself), or Freedom (Itself).

“Sin” (or a state of “sin”) is any act (or the act), or any state (or the state), that “misses the Mark” (or that stands separately, and apart from That Which Must Be Realized). The “Mark” (or That Which Must Be Realized) is Love-Bliss Itself, the Divinely Liberating Truth, the Inherently Perfect Reality, or Real (Acausal) God.

Therefore, “sin” is, simply, egoity (or “self”-contraction). And egoity is, simply, un-Enlightenment—or the non-Realization of Love-Bliss Itself, or Truth Itself, or Reality Itself, Which Is the Only Real (Acausal) God.

Therefore, ultimately, “sin” (or egoic un-Enlightenment) is the act and the state of non-Identification with the Inherently Perfect (or Most Prior, and Inherent) Reality—or Consciousness Itself.

SIXTEEN Be Consciousness (Itself). “Contemplate” Consciousness (Itself). Transcend everything in Consciousness (Itself).

Itself). THREE When you most directly inspect the conditional “self” and its “objects”, all arising conditions (including body, emotions, mind, and the sense of being a defined, separate, and limited “self”-consciousness) are observed to be mere (apparent) relations of Consciousness (Itself). What is more, Consciousness (Itself), when It is directly Self-“Located” and profoundly Identified With, is not found to be separate, limited, individual, or in any sense un-Happy. And all of the “objects”, relations, and states that appear to Consciousness (Itself) are, in the “Disposition” Native to Consciousness (Itself), Inherently (Divinely) Self-Recognized to be transparent (or merely apparent), and non-necessary, and intrinsically non-binding modifications of Itself.

And, what is more, the “objects” of functional attention are Realized to be not independent relations of Consciousness Itself, but only transparent (or merely apparent), and non-necessary, and intrinsically non-binding modifications of That Which Is Consciousness Itself.

Reality Is What Is (no matter what arises or changes or passes away). Therefore, Self-“Locate” (and fully Realize) Reality (Itself).

IV THE PERFECT PRACTICE Be Consciousness (Itself). “Contemplate” Consciousness (Itself). Transcend everything in Consciousness (Itself).

ONE The First Stage (or Part) of the “Perfect Practice” of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam

Be Consciousness Itself—Inherently Free (or the Inherently Perfect Witness) in relation to all “objects”.

is a matter of Being (or Standing) in the Obvious and (Obviously) Real, Right, and True “Disposition” (or Inherent Attitude) As Consciousness (Itself) in (apparent) Free association with conditional “experience”.

The body-mind-complex is what you (as a matter of convention, and as an “experiential” presumption) “mean” by the “self”-reference “I”.

Consciousness (Itself) is Inherently and Always Already Most Prior to conditional (or psycho-physical) “experience”.

Witness-Consciousness is never an expression, result, or prisoner of conditional “experience”, conditional “knowledge”, or conditional existence.

Me—have fully and stably established the natural state of functional psycho-physical equanimity that is granted by truly fulfilling the preliminary process of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam (Which is the One and Only by-Me-Revealed and by-Me-Given “Radical” Reality-Way of the Heart). Only such functional equanimity allows (and supports, and indicates) truly and stably free (or functionally un-bound) energy and attention (truly and stably free, in merely apparent association with the body-mind-complex, and even all of conditional Nature)—and thus truly and stably free energy and attention are, together, the essential (and necessary) prerequisite for Stable Realization of the Witness-Position (or Native Attitude) of Consciousness (Itself).52 Without such free energy and attention (even relative to conditional existence altogether), you (as a matter of habitual egoic “self”-identification with the “experiential” patterning of the body-mind-complex) will (inevitably) wander in the patterns (or distractions and preoccupations) associated with the Circle of the body-mind-complex, unable to Stably Stand in the Native Attitude of Consciousness (Itself), even though the Inherently Perfect Witness is the Position in Which “you” (Prior to the ego-“I” of psycho-physical “self”-contraction) Always Already Exist.

TWO The Second Stage (or Part) of the “Perfect Practice” of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam “Contemplate”—or, that is to say, directly (or Inherently, and, Thus, Perfectly) Identify with—Consciousness Itself (Most Prior to all “objects”), until Its Inherently Perfect (Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine) Nature, Condition, and State becomes Inherently (and Most Perfectly) Obvious. Enter into the deep, profound, and most direct Self-Identification with Consciousness Itself, until Its Inherently Perfect “Location”, Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Self-State, and Ultimate Self-Status are Realized. This is a matter of the Intrinsic transcending of attention itself (which is the functional essence of the conditional “self”), and (thus and thereby) of relinquishing all the “objects” of attention (which are, variously, in the form of ego-idea, mind, emotion, internal life-energy, desire, body, and their relations)—and, in this total event, attention itself is resolved (or dissolved) into its Prior and Inherently Perfect Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State. This is not a matter of inverting attention upon (and, thus, meditating on) the conditional “I” (or egoic “self”), in the manner of “Narcissus”.

This is a matter, first of all, of Understanding that the (conditional) essence of the conditional “self” is not an entity, but it is an activity—the total psycho-physical activity of “self”-contraction (or, at “root”, the inherently “self”-contracted activity that is attention, itself).

“Perfect Contemplation” is not an effort of functional attention, but it is a Process Prior to functional attention—such that there is direct “Perfect Contemplation” of Consciousness Itself (Which Is the Inherently Perfect Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and Self-State in Which attention, and, thus, the individuated and conditional “self”-consciousness, is presently arising).

It is a matter of Standing As Consciousness Itself (rather than turning attention “outward”, or “inward”, or even “toward” Consciousness Itself). It is a matter of passively allowing attention to settle (or relax, dissolve, and disappear) spontaneously in the Native (or Primal) and Tacit Self-Apprehension of Being (or the Primal Tacit Self-Awareness of Love-Bliss Itself).

That Most Perfect Realization cannot be “caused”—or “achieved” by any effort of searching means. Therefore, That Most Perfect Realization cannot be achieved by the application of the characteristic sixth stage method of dissociative (or even ascetical) introversion. That Most Perfect Realization is not (Itself) a psycho-physical state—or any kind of condition in mind or resulting from the exercise of mind. Therefore, That Most Perfect Realization must be Acausally Self-Revealed by Transcendental Spiritual Means.

TEN DECLARATIONS OF THE TRANSCENDENTAL SELF-IDENTITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF

9. The inherent happiness that is Realized by Self-Abiding merely as the Self-Awareness of Consciousness itself is limitless, ultimate, and perfect Bliss. That Bliss-Consciousness is the inherently actionless Supreme Reality. Tell me, how could any intelligent person not rejoice in this Truth-Revelation of Reality itself?

Self-Abiding (or Merely Being)—without any ideas—Is the Indivisible State of no-difference. Fundamental Being Is (Itself) inherence in and As the Supreme Being. Merely to Be (As Is) Is (Itself) true knowledge.

Part Ten The Only Liberating Discovery

Part Eleven The Teaching Manual Of Perfect Summaries

I Give to My Second Congregation devotees the practice of Listening to formal recitations of (and, also, of silently studying) My “Five Reality-Teachings”.

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.

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”).

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”.

7. No matter what apparently arises, you are the Intrinsically egoless “Perfect Knower”—Always Already Perfectly Prior to it.

8. Therefore, no matter whatever apparently arises—Self-“Locate” the Intrinsically egoless “Perfect Knower” only, and Be That.

In any moment, and moment to moment, as and whenever any whatever apparently arises—Self-“Locate” the Intrinsically egoless “Perfect Knower” only, and Be That.

5. On The Intrinsic Transcending of The Fault of Subjectivity

5. In effect, the “knowing-subject” (or the presumed separate “self”) is the “shadow” of the “known-object”. 6. The “knowing-subject” (or the separate “self”, as such) does not “cause” or precede the “known-object”.

6. There are—in Reality Itself—no “subject-object” relations.

In any moment, and moment to moment, as and whenever the “subjective” feeling, or the egoic thought, or the however felt “self”-idea of “I” arises—Be the Witness-only, and, only Thus, Self-“Locate” the Intrinsically Self-Evident Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That is neither the “knowing-subject” nor the “known-object” of or to or as any separate one at all.

6. On The Intrinsic Transcending of The Fault of Attention (or Point of View)

7. Reality (Itself—and altogether, or As “It” Is in the context of all-and-All apparent conditional arising) Is Always Already (or Inherently) Beyond and Prior to any “point of view” (and all possible “points of view”).

8. Perfect Ignorance, or Intrinsically egoless Not-“knowing”, Is “Perfect Knowledge”.

In any moment, and moment to moment, as and whenever and toward whatever attention (itself) arises, Tacitly and Intrinsically (and, Thus, not in a dissociatively introversive seeking-manner) Self-Apperceive (or Intrinsically Self-“Locate”) That In, From, Of, and (Therefore) As Which attention (itself) is arising—and (Thus and Thereby) Merely Be the Witness-only, Always Already Self-Abiding In and As the Always Already Priorly egoless, and Intrinsically “point-of-view”-less, and Perfectly “objectless”, and Perfectly searchless Not-“knowing” That Is Consciousness Itself, no matter what arises or does not arise.

and Perfectly searchless Not-“knowing” That Is Consciousness Itself, no matter what arises or does not arise.

7. Is Happen

What Is Always Already Prior to attention (itself)—even in any and every moment in which attention arises and associates itself with any and every kind of “object”?

That Which seems to become “objects” Is an Indivisible (or Inherently Non-differentiated, or “differenceless”) Field of merely apparent conditional arising. That Field is not separate from the Perfectly Prior Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself—nor is there, in and As Reality Itself, any arising of independent “object-things”.

“Consider” this: Every perception takes time. Therefore, remarkably, you are never in the present moment, with reference to conditional appearances. You are always “afterwards”—because it takes a fraction of a second for any perception to register in the brain. Therefore, none of your phenomenal “experiencing” is in present time. All phenomenal “experience” is mirrored—and you are constantly occupied with your mirrored (or reflected) existence.

There is a grid in the Energy-Field That Is Consciousness Itself—and all of this appearance of universe is merely bits on that grid. In and of itself, the grid is a terrible illusion, a mere reflection. The question is not “What is being reflected?” The question is “What is reflecting it?”, or “What is the Condition in Which the reflected image is appearing?” The Mirror Is Reality Itself, Which Is Acausal. The Mirror does not “cause” what appears reflected on Its surface. The Mirror Is Perfectly Prior to what appears reflected on Its surface. The Mirror does not change what is reflected on Its surface, and It does not “causatively” originate what is reflected on Its surface. Whatever is “causative” is inherently conditional. Reality Itself Is, paradoxically, Acausal—not “causing” anything. Reality Itself Is the Source—in the sense that whatever arises is merely an apparent modification of Reality Itself—but Reality Itself does not make anything happen. Reality Itself does not insist.

That is not a state to be achieved. That Is the State That Is Always Already The Case—not the separate “point of view” on the checkerboard, not the presumed independent entity, not the checkerboard-field of universe.

What you always cling to as “you” is eventually shed, without a moment’s hesitation—like excrement. From the “point of view” of the universe, the “you” that is the body-mind-complex is nothing but “shit”. The “body-mind you” is nothing but a temporary little event. The “body-mind you” is, in both cosmic (or conditional) Nature and Reality Itself, not treated as having any ultimate importance—and, in Truth (or in Reality Itself), the “body-mind you” has no ultimate importance. Where is the Freedom from this intolerable bondage? If you look at your actual situation in this “world”, and truly observe and understand what it is, how could you possibly be naively enthusiastic about it? In and of itself, your situation in this “world” is hell. In and of itself, your situation in this “world” is terrible.

What is there about all of “modern” you, that you cannot accept this, that you insist on subordinating What is Supremely Great to what is “dark” and “sinful”? As “Narcissus”, your law is to presume your own independence, your own immunity, and your own position of being “in control”. Such are the signs of your desperate search for safety and survival—because you tacitly understand, at heart, that you are in trouble in this “shit-maze” here. You want to pretend contentedness—but you are not contented. All egos are inherently disturbed.

Order is not Truth—nor is disorder. Truth Is Perfectly Prior to both order and disorder. When Truth is Self-Established, then a creative process of Right Order—or the working-out of chaotic situations—happens, but only in That Free and Divine Disposition. If you remain in the checkerboard pattern, it inevitably becomes more and more complex—because the checkerboard is an infinite field, without center or bounds. There is always more and more and more and more and more. I Am the Hole in the universe, Perfectly Prior to all this mummery. I Am here, to Break the spell, to Make Right Life and the Real Reality-Way possible, in an otherwise deluded context of “world”-happening.

You exist as if you were outside your own body. In Reality, you are not outside your own body—and you are not even merely inside your own body. In Reality, you are Perfectly Prior to the body (and Perfectly Prior to the total psycho-physical ego-“I”)—which means that there is no “you”. “You” (or “I”) is nothing but a reference to a chronically presumed “point of view” in time and space, a mere illusion of “location” on the centerless and boundless checkerboard-grid of the “world”-mummery.

Reality Itself Is Intrinsically (or Always Already) Self-Evident and egolessly all-and-All-Pervading.

THE WAY OF THE MIRROR Is ME

That imagination is simply the brain talking.

In order to Realize Reality Itself (or Truth Itself), you must go beyond mind. To live as mind is ego. “Narcissus” seeing his own reflection is mind. Mind is the reflection. Human bondage is bondage to mind. As a result, people do not directly notice the actual conditions of their existence. I Am As I Am.

The Mirror Is Inherently Free. The Mirror Is Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine. The Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That Is the Mirror Itself Is What must be Self-“Located” and Self-Realized—moment to moment (and, at last, Most Perfectly).

As a result, human beings are able to project themselves into a “world” of mere ideas (or brain-based mental constructs)—a virtual “world” of pseudo-Reality and pseudo-Truth. That virtual (or mind-based) “world” is the fundamental source of human bondage.

In order to practice right relationship to Me, you must transcend yourself. You must go beyond your psycho-physical patterning, stop looking at reflections in the mirror, and look at Me. You must truly come to Me—not merely join the “clubhouse”.

“Narcissus” must be transcended. The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam is about the transcending of egoity, not the fulfillment of egoity.

That Which Is Always Already Beyond and Prior to the whole body Magnifies Itself Infinitely—to the degree that there is no identification with a separate body-mind-“self” (or ego-“I”). In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage Realization, the body-mind-“self” loses all definition—such that there is no “point of view”, no ego, no conditional apparatus, and no limited form.

My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain is not a place in which egos “walk around” enjoying themselves. My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain Is Reality Itself—Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, and Absolute.

Every human being carries a “personalized” facsimile of the “world” in speech-mind, in mental pictures, in “point-of-view”-based psychology and psyche—and all of that is nothing but an illusion.

That Field is not merely within “you”—or even merely outside “you”. That Field Is—altogether. That Field Is all-and-All. That Field Is Absolute. That Field Is Inherent, Intrinsic, Self-Evident, and all-and-All-Pervading.

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.

All the role-playing of human life is merely a brief drama. The “world”-mummery is a nightmare, existing only apparently. The “world” is real in the sense that it is an apparent modification of That Which Is Reality Itself—but the “world” has no ultimate necessity, and it can be transcended directly.

Beyond all noticing, Beyond all appearance of attention, Beyond all “self”-contraction, Beyond all conditionality.

That absolute frustration is the intrinsic and always fundamental (and “radical”, or “at-the-root”) “self”-understanding and certainty that the egoic “self” will not—and cannot—be finally fulfilled. The “self”-understanding and certainty that the ego-“I” cannot be fulfilled (or perfected, or immortalized, or finally satisfied) comes from the clear observation that the conditionally arising “world” of cosmic nature is a “machine” which is not “designed” or purposed to fulfill anyone, but which, instead (and at most), tantalizes and seduces and traps everyone, and which, inevitably and mortally, frustrates everyone.

True renunciates are not “dried up”. True renunciates are not merely involved in “self”-conscious attempts to keep themselves “under control”.

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.

True renunciation is not merely a “difficult discipline” you must “impose” on yourself. Of course, there are disciplines that must be fulfilled by My devotees—but the disciplines I have Given serve as mirrors, and are (therefore) energizing.

Egoity is not transcended by (first) identifying with the patterned body-mind-“self”, and (then) “dealing with” the body-mind-“self” as a “problem”. Egoity is transcended only by turning (whole bodily) to Me, and (thereby) simply being beyond any apparent “problem”—or, in other words, being beyond the any and every particular ego-pattern.

To presume that you are any particular ego-pattern is to treat that pattern as a “problem”. Similarly, to presume that you are some “thing” that you regard to be positive is to make that very (presumed-to-be-positive) “thing” into a potential “problem”—because that very “thing” (whatever it may be) is going to change, become degraded, and (in due course) be lost or die. To identify with a conditionally manifested “anything” is inherently a mode of egoity and (therefore) a mode of bondage.

If you are My true devotee, your “experience” of the body and of the “world” is not itself the point. If you are My true devotee, conditional “experience” is not, in and of itself, the basis for right life.

Human beings live in and as the mind. If you are My devotee, are you seeing Me, the Mirror Itself? Or are you only seeing the reflections in the Mirror? Are you persisting in “self-imagery”—

As “Narcissus”, you are full of “self-image”. If you really will look into the Mirror, to see your true reflection there, you will see that you are actually a hairy, shitting, dying ape!

By identifying with your illusory “self-image”, you are actually identifying with the gross, dying thing that appears reflected in the Reality-Mirror. Why would you identify with that? The Mirror Itself—Reality Itself—is there all the while, and It can be Self-Realized. Therefore, why would you choose a “self”-deluded, imagined

life of egoic participation in “world”-mummery, if Utter Freedom from that is possible?

When there is no identification with mind, then there is no mummery—no ego-role with which to be identified. In that case, there is simply Reality Itself. Reality Itself Is What is to be identified with. Reality Itself Is Non-egoic, Acausal, Priorly Free, Self-Existing and Self-Radiant, Indivisible, and Love-Bliss-Only. Why would you identify with something else?

There is the Mirror, and there is the reflection in It. Are you really getting “It”? Or are you the “emperor”, pretending with your “new clothes”, your glamorous persona, full of attractiveness and power, opportunity and “self”-pleasure—all the absurdities of mortal presumption that have nothing to do with Reality Itself? Such games are nothing but conditional performances, mummers’ roles, mummers’ happenings.

The whole bodily turning of the faculties to Me is not something My true devotee does because he or she values having somebody who will actively reflect “self” to “self”. Rather, the whole bodily turning of the faculties to Me is something My true devotee does because he or she is valuing Me—My Avatarically Self-Manifested Divine State and Person, As I Am. To whole bodily turn to Me is to be devotionally Attracted to the Self-Evidently Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That Is Prior to egoity.

The ego-“I” is not merely a metaphysically existing entity, a sort of “ghost” within the body. The ego is a psycho-physical activity that has already been enacted by you for an indefinable period of time.

In that case, there is no contrariness in you. You do not resist Me or bargain with Me. To do so is like shouting at the Mirror when you notice your own failures, unattractiveness, mortality, reactive moods, or whatever it may be that you do not like. It is like blaming the Mirror when you do not like what you see behind your reflection in the Mirror—your surroundings, your associations, your conditions of living. Why shout at the Mirror? What does the Mirror have to

do with it? The Mirror is not “causing” it. I am not “causing” your suffering—you are. The apparatus with which you are egoically identifying yourself is doing all of that.

When everything is Thus Recognizable from the Position of the True Mirror, That Is Reality Itself. Then, At Last, everything is Outshined.

The mind would have the Realization of Truth and Reality be a process in which the ego-“I” goes through a period of more or less accidental “self-development”, which eventually reaches a point of full “self-satisfaction”, such that the ego-“I” has become a complete “success”, deserving to “get everything it wants”. That is a false idea of Truth—and that is not how Reality Is. There is no “ultimate reward”—neither before nor after death. There is always merely more of the same. Whatever you have realized while alive, you will realize after death—and not one thing more or less.

The ego-“I” is the activity of psycho-physical “self”-contraction—which manifests as the mental-emotional illusion of separate “self” and as the bodily-life-context dramatization of separativeness, or dissociativeness, or the complex avoidance of relationship.

I have Given you the Unique seventh stage Way. In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam, all of the characteristic tendencies and motives of the first six stages of life are cancelled. In and of themselves, the first six stages of life are nothing but ego. Indeed, in and of themselves, the first six stages of life are the idealization of egoity.

The ego certainly does not vanish merely because you “wave a flag” or “raise a placard” insisting that you are “not the ego any more”.

Seriousness is about ecstasy, about the intrinsic (or always Prior) transcending of egoity and “point of view”.

In your egoity, you are profoundly committed to having life “work out”. You think that life is supposed to “work out”—such that it fulfills your naive and culturally-propagandized presumptions about what constitutes “the good life”. At the same time, you confess that you feel an impulse to engage ego-transcending practice and Realize the Truth.

You cannot be committed to the process of Divine Self-Realization without the necessary foundation that is that intelligent “self”-observation. As a socially-adapted ego-“I”, you are grounded in the collective ideal and “self”-image of “the good life”—imagining you are born to be fulfilled, satisfied, kissed, cuddled, congratulated, and immortalized. No one who has ever Realized the Truth to any Real degree has ever functioned on such a basis. You must see through the absurdity of that socially-programmed proposition.

with love, with compassion, with a sense of humor, and also with a capability for delight—but free of the absurd vision of “self”-fulfillment and the equally absurd vision that the universe is going to fulfill itself.

It is the ordeal of right and true renunciation, right and true “self”-discipline. That ego-transcending ordeal of “self”-discipline is necessary. That ordeal is, itself, the substance of change, the alchemy of change. That ordeal is the “fire on the pot”—into which you must throw everything.

If you are My true devotee, you (necessarily) turn to Me in every moment—such that you cannot meditate on yourself. In any moment when you are not turning to Me, you are (inevitably) meditating on yourself.

I Am the Self-Radiant and Self-Existing Conscious Light in and As Which one and all and All are arising.

In the circumstance of sitting in My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Company, there are essentially two ego-strategies manifested by My devotees who are not fully and rightly practicing in relationship to Me. The first type is “dull”—merely staring at Me with a “poker face”, and trying to “look good” on the “outside”. The second type is merely sitting with eyes closed, inverting on some program “inside” the body-mind-“self”—and such people are essentially “playing with themselves”, looking for their own reflection “inside”.

If you are not (whole bodily) turned to Me, you are merely “thinking” and “buzzing” along—entertaining whatever casual happenings arise (in body, emotion, mind, or breath), and following your “train” of “interior” egoity.

The ego is constantly “monitoring the system”—like “Narcissus”, sitting there focused on the psycho-physical event of the presumed “self”. Why are you so busy watching that event? Because you are anxiously anticipating the moment when that event will come to an end—which it inevitably will!

Right practice is turning to Me, not dwelling on the content of the psycho-physical “system”.

How are you to not indulge in that ego-pattern? By turning all the faculties (body, emotion, mind, and breath) to Me—ignoring the interior contents of the faculties, and truly serving Me, such that you drop the outer performance of ego-patterning. Such is the very practical nature of real and right (moment to moment) practice of the Reality-Way of Adidam—non-indulgence in the ego-pattern, demonstrated as the responsive (and really ego-transcending) activity of turning to Me, both inwardly and outwardly.

Human beings tend to persist in being “the same thing”, merely perpetuating their egoically pre-patterned existence. In time, they will be dead. If that is enough for you, that is your choice—but it is the choice of a fool.

Which even the body-mind of the Realizer is transformed to an extraordinary degree—and such a transformed body-mind cannot exist under ordinary conditions.

Rather, a True Realizer is the Incarnation of That Which he or she has Realized.

If you were walking down a beach, you might find all kinds of fragments—of shells, and bits of this and that washed up from the sea. However, if you found a diamond the size of a football, you would know you had found a unique treasure. You would not treat such a discovery like a broken bit of shell. To find a True Realizer—not just a “talker”, but one who has been (even bodily) Transformed by the Transcendental Spiritual Divine—is to discover such a unique Treasure.

I have compared this devotionally Attracted recognition of Me to the feeling of being in love. When you are in love, you cannot possibly forget the loved one. You are always preoccupied with thinking about that one. Thus, you are inherently turned to whatever attracts you.

The degree of your Attractedness to Me is the degree of your devotion to Me. This is what I look for in My devotee: Are there signs of devotional Attractedness to Me? Is there a conversion of life? Is there the relinquishment of all preoccupation with “worldliness” and the habits and patterns of egoity?

My true devotees live a right life—and My true devotees truly serve Me. As a result, My true devotees are, very soon, entered into the Transcendental Spiritual dimension of the relationship with Me. Therefore, if you are My devotee, you must not waste years quibbling over the necessary disciplines—whether or not to surrender to Me, and whether or not to consistently fulfill My Divine Avataric Word of Instruction. Such weakness of purpose is not devotion.

The Ancient Walk-About Way

In general, what the “world” wants—and, therefore, what “religious” institutions tend to provide—is social association and optimistic talk, perhaps in combination with “self”-applied “techniques” that people can use as means for consoling themselves. Therefore, in the “modern world”, instead of cultures of right practice, there are “religion businesses” and “workshops”. The “modern world” is a fragmented “world”—full of individuals who regard their own separateness and independence as “absolute”, who demonstrate no profundity, and who are not moved by profundity.

The exclusive preoccupation with what is “out there” is a disposition that is now manifested everywhere on Earth—with dreadful results. Listen to the global “daily news” of terrible violence and threats. Look at the absolute emptiness of “consumer egoity”. It is madness.

Choose what? Just to play this absurd game—and then drop dead? And why play, if the dropping dead could happen in any moment?

If you become disenchanted with the patterning “world”, you look for something Greater. If you are truly disenchanted, you cannot be consoled by believer’s nonsense. Rather, the “What” you would have is Something that you cannot yet name. It must be Something that is Inherently and Absolutely Satisfactory, Something That is Greater than all other possibilities. Even though you have things to do in daily life, and you continue to live and breathe, and so forth, you are always looking for That Which Is Ultimately and Inherently Satisfactory. And, when you find It, you devote your life to It.

Such serious people constantly turned to their Spiritual Master by means of the inner discipline of “self”-forgetting devotion and the outer discipline of “self”-forgetting service.

Rather, the ego merely thinks about doing the practice. “Thinking about doing it” is an activity unique to human primates—animals who have a highly developed language-facility, and (thereby) a capability to make mind and to be formed by mind. 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. There is language—which is programmed by brains, and which, in turn, programs brains. However, there is no tangible existence to “mind” itself—absolutely none. Nevertheless, human beings identify with the “mind” as “self”, and (thereby) invent destiny for themselves, and even project that “self”-imagined destiny into an idea of time and space beyond the present physical lifetime.

Human beings are all living in a “virtual world” of mind. Human beings are, characteristically, egoically “self”-identified with a “robot”, an artificial intelligence. Real Intelligence is tacit (or intrinsically wordless) living existence. Where there is such tacit living existence, a Realizer (of Reality) can be recognized, and you are immediately able to devote yourself to a Realizer as Master—because such a relationship does not, fundamentally, require any words.

The human mind is a facsimile machine. This “machine” merely replicates language-forms in the illusion of mind. The “machine” feeds language into the computer of the illusion of mind with which people identify themselves. That illusion is who they mean when they refer to themselves—the body-mind-complex, the mortal bio-form associated with the “artificial intelligence” of talk, of space-and-time “point of view”, of ego-“I” constructs, of language, of language-based brain, and (altogether) of ego-based and brain-based psycho-physical ideas and perceptual memories. You do not “have” all of your words in mind right now. Where are they? The only words of which you are aware at any moment are the words you are thinking or speaking at that moment. Where are the rest of your words? You never think or speak all of your words at once. You never have them in mind all at once. You are not the mind. Where is the mind?

When people are “thinking” or “talking” about “religion”, they think that “religion” is about some kind of survival of mind, or even some kind of survival of body-mind-“self” somewhere. Such a notion is merely a mind-based illusion.

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. The only mind that exists afterward is the mind carried by the other replicating machines. So what is there after death? The same thing as there is before birth—Reality Itself, the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State only.

If you were truly aware of mind, you would not want it to go on. It is a terrible, horrific source of bondage. It is a dreadful trap. Human beings are not only trapped in the mortality of their physical bodies, they are trapped in the absurdity of mind.

Conventional “religion” says the body is mortal and the body dies, but the “I” somehow survives. Such an idea is based on identification with mind as if it were some kind of personal identity that is going to survive death. To presume that mind is eternal is the same as claiming that life in the “world” is eternal. It is not.

The Divine (or Real God) is not a “Deity”. The Divine (or Real God) Is Reality Itself.

If, on the other hand, you are not yet moved beyond body and mind to Truth Itself, to That Which Is Divine, then you will simply keep your distance from Me. You will prefer illusions and illusion-mongers, illusion-salespeople.

“talk” and the “talkers”, the “talking” schools, the consoling association with others, in various kinds of social connections. You will like things you can do or believe or think that will make you feel consoled in the moment. That is what is being “sold” everywhere in the “world”.

It merely to words, then you have merely created another means for “selling” mind. If you remain busy with mind, with body, with social situation, struggling to be fulfilled by all of that, there is, inevitably, a tacit and perpetual disease, an anxiety of fear just under the surface, a constant gnawing sense of the unsatisfactoriness of “this”.

You will not be able to take My Words from this “world”. Either you will Realize Me or you will not. Either you will remain bound up in your patterning of words—and live and die on that basis, constantly drawn through the conditional robotic mix of the universal program of klik-klak, mere pattern patterning—or you will Realize Me.

I should be preserved in My Silence here—As I Am. I should not be required to Speak. The traditional Buddhist text Fifty Verses of Guru-Devotion88 contains the admonition: Do not do anything to disturb the Master’s mind. What does that admonition mean? It means that you must not provoke your Master to speak. It means: “Do not reduce your Master to words.”

And, in due course, in all who truly Hear Me, “radical” (or “at-the-root”) “self”-understanding arises as the form of their own Real intelligence. Talk, if it is overmuch and overdone, is simply the indulgence of the ego-dramatizing (or, otherwise, heart-wasting) activity of the mind.

Overmuch talk (whereby even what must be understood is made obscure by too much explanation) will merely scatter even My “Bright” Transcendental Spiritual Force of the Heart. Too much talk indulges in forms and uses of mind that are not useful intelligence or real “self”-understanding. Then talk is not relatedness, but only separateness, and a reproduction and reinforcement of a state that is not “radical” (or “at-the-root”) “self”-understanding.

This Company of Spiritually “Bright” Silence—this confrontation with My Spiritually “Bright” Silence, while remaining in conscious relationship to Me—enables the individual to be simply aware of what arises, without the possibility of indulging or avoiding it.

Therefore, the transformation of the ego-bound human being into a rightly dependent, subordinate, willfulness-surrendering, and (altogether) ego-surrendering character is fundamental to the establishing of right (and, potentially, Spiritual) life.

I am Realized only in the transcending of egoity. And egoity is transcended only in the context of the intrinsic, always direct, nontechnical (or non-“methodical”, or searchless), whole bodily (or in a total psycho-physical manner) demonstrated, and (altogether) unconditional surrender into non-separation from the Condition That Is Always Already The (One and Only) Case.

Rather, for My true devotee, all actions are expressions of a Prior State of devotional Communion with Me. That Prior devotional Communion with Me is what makes your actions true demonstrations of “radical” devotion to Me. That Prior devotional Communion with Me—rather than any strategy of “good intentions”—is what makes any right action into true evidence of the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam.

Right practice of the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam is not a mode of activity purposed to achieve anything.

The preliminary Listening-practice of “Perfect Knowledge” is simply something that comes out of devotional recognition-response to Me—the whole bodily turning to Me, and the fulfilling of all the by-Me-Given functional, practical, relational, and cultural disciplines. The preliminary Listening-practice of “Perfect Knowledge” is a description I have Given for the inevitable manifestation of devotional Communion with Me when I am always already “Known” As My “Bright” Divine State. When your devotional practice becomes Transcendental Spiritual Communion with Me, then the preliminary Listening-practice of “Perfect Knowledge” likewise becomes a Transcendental Spiritual matter (Given to you, as a Gift, by Me).

The only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam is action-transcending. The only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam is ego-transcending. The only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam is “problem”-transcending. The only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam is goal-transcending. The only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam is search-transcending. Such is the Nature of the Divine “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam, in every one of Its details—because the Divine “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam is “rooted” in Prior devotional Communion with Me, rather than working toward devotional Communion with Me.

If you reduce action to its own sphere, you are reducing it to a “problem”, to a search for something, and to identification with that which is limited. Actions done simply as the spontaneous evidence of Prior devotional Communion with Me are (inherently) holy (or sacred-domain) activities.

The real free energy of devotion to Me is manifested as action that is effective—because it is free of “problem” and free of goal-seeking. In that case, your action is simply Priorly Me-recognizing responsive devotion to Me—rightly lived and rightly manifested.

There must be the disciplining of the gross character. There must be the renunciation of ego in the context of the gross life.

THE PERFECT WORD “Is” AND THE EGO-WORD “I”

The habit of (egoic) human communication is based on this tripartite categorization of existence.

the Way of Is (or the Way of Reality Itself)—is not a “method” of seeking for the “solution” to any “problem”.

The ego-“I” does not Intrinsically or Inherently (or Always Already) exist.

is about Always Already (and, thus, moment to moment) Self-Abiding As Is, or Priorly (rather than programmatically, or as the result of an “object”-exploiting exercise) Self-Abiding in (and As) the Always Already Prior Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That Intrinsically (or Always Already, and Self-Evidently) Transcends the ego-“object” (or the “objectified” psycho-physical and separate “self”), and all “objects”, and all “knowing” (or “knowledge”) of “objects” (including the “I-object”, or “I”-thought). Thus, the (fundamentally,

As Is is not a seeking-“method”, but, rather, it is the inevitable Self-Demonstration of tacit devotional recognition of Me As I Am and (in due course) of Transcendental Spiritual Communion with Me As I Am.

In that sense, it could be said that the Reality-Way of Adidam is “useless”—because the Reality-Way of Adidam conceives of no “Goal”, presumes no “problem”, engages no form of seeking, and involves no “method” for achieving anything whatsoever. In this sense—speaking humorously—it can be said that the Reality-Way of Adidam (or the Way of Is, or the Way of Reality Itself) is absolutely “useless”.

Seeking (by means of “method”) for a result is not the nature of the Reality-Way of Adidam.

Therefore, the Reality-Way of Adidam is “useful”, in the sense that the Reality-Way of Adidam always Priorly (and from the beginning, and moment to moment) undermines the entire structure of ego-“I”—the entire structure of “object”, of “problem”, of “method”, of seeking for “solution”, and of “Goal” (of any description whatsoever, either “Goal”-to-be-achieved or “Goal”-already-achieved).

Indeed, the egoic “I”-structure of conventional human life is non-Real. It is mummery.

All of the first six stages of life are based on a presumed “object” over against a separate “self-subject”. The Reality-Way of Adidam has nothing to do with any of that.

I Am That. Turning to Me Is turning to That.

In the ordinary egoic manner of human life, you must first invent an “object” in order to (first) conceive of a “problem” and (then) have a “method” and (finally) propose a “Goal”. In Reality Itself, nothing of that kind is evident.

Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Consciousness Itself (or Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light Itself) Is That Which Is.

Anything that is apparently “objective” is merely

an appearance (or a reflection, arising upon the Perfect Mirror That Is Acausal Conscious Light Itself). Any “object” is merely apparent as such. Any seeming “object” is Really arising as a merely apparent modification of the Divine Acausal Conscious Light—or That Which Is (simply, and Priorly, and Always Already) The Case.

The devotional recognition of Me As My Very (and Divinely Avatarically Self-Transmitted) State Is the Way of “Perfect Knowledge”.

Nevertheless, “Perfect Knowledge” is (likewise) Always Already Tacitly So—even at (and from) the beginning of the Reality-Way of Adidam.

(or the “Is”-Condition, Prior to the ego-“I”), life becomes the Way of Is, the Way As Is,

There is no inherent “problem” in My House. Therefore, there is no “thing” that is yet to be Realized Therein.

All mummery is nonsense. All mummery is exaggeration and absurdity—because it is bound to an “object-problem”. Mummery identifies with the “problem” and with its “causative object”. Such is the primary fault of humankind, the primary fault of the ego-“I”—and it is this fault that I Address.

The ego-“I” seeks and clings to the desired “object”. The ego-“I” avoids and suffers the undesired “object”.

The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam neither proposes to transcend nor seeks to transcend any kind of “external object” or “internal object”.

If there is no mirror in the view, there is no ego-“object” centering the sight. If no reflections Happen to “objectify” the view, there are no boundaries set to limit center’s “I” or else to mark the “Goal” of ego’s sight and move. Therefore, Be the Perfect Mirror Only—and neither center’s ego-“I” nor boundary’s any “object” makes a Happen of the Indivisible That Is the All and “Self” of Is. The Perfect Mirror Is the Way of Is That I Am.

THE BOUNDLESS SELF-CONFESSION 1.

I Am the Breakthrough of the Non-conditional into the conditionally manifested cosmic domain. I am not a conditional entity. I am not a karmic entity. I am not appearing here as a subordinate and pattern-bound part of a conditional cosmic process. I Am the One Who Transcends all conditionality.

Perfect Philosophy Is Perfect Understanding of Reality Itself and (Thus and Thereby) of all apparent existence. When Reality Itself Is Realized in Its Self-Evidence, there is no longer any kind of “problem” about the arising of the “world”. When Reality Itself Is Realized, there is no longer any effort or impulse to account for the “world” as an independent “something”.

To the dualistic frame of mind, it is absurd to say that the “world”, the body, and the mind are not fundamental, self-evident, and the necessary beginning for any useful philosophical “consideration”.

In and of itself, the “world” or the body or the mind is not Always Already The (One and Only) Case. Only Reality Itself Is (Acausally and Irreducibly) the “world”, the body, and the mind.

Reality Itself, Which Intrinsically Sublates all appearances, Intrinsically Transcends all appearances, and Intrinsically Outshines all appearances, Is the One, Only, and Always Fundamental Principle of Perfect Philosophy—or the seventh stage Way That Is Intrinsic to Reality Itself.

If I am not devotionally recognized, there is an enormity of “world” and ego-“self” to be figured out, and there are always a lot of things yet to seek and do. When I am devotionally recognized, there is not anything to do anymore, because there is no “problem”, and (therefore) no basis for seeking. None whatsoever.

I Am Working in the Circle of each one’s body-mind, and (simultaneously) Blessing each one—from Infinitely Above and Beyond, and from the “Root”-Position associated with the right side of the bodily apparent heart.

I Am here to Give My Instruction and to Enable people to do the necessary work at the periphery in the “world”. That work in the “world” is not Mine to do.

My Sphere is not related exclusively to My bodily (human) Form. Rather, My Sphere Is the Sphere of Reality Itself. That Is What must Be Realized.

In all times and places, My devotees will appear—Finding Me after I have Already Entered into Perfect Coincidence with them, having Meditated them. Having Found Me, they become active devotees of Mine, assuming various roles of responsibility in service to Me, relative to all the aspects of Instrumentality necessary for Adidam Ruchiradam—now, and forever hereafter.

Instrumentality is how everything works. I Stay at the Source. I Do the Source-Work. I Pervade every “where”. I Am—every “where”.

The Divine Is the “world”, the body, and the mind. Therefore, Divinely Self-Recognize and (Thus and Thereby) Perfectly Transcend and Outshine the “world”, the body, and the mind.

That culture of sacrifice is epitomized in the Ashvamedha (or Horse-Sacrifice) of ancient India.

In the tradition of the Ashvamedha, a worthy horse is ritually set apart and made holy—with the intention that, when it was ceremonially slaughtered, it would become the mediator for an entire culture to associate with That Which Is Beyond, That Which Is Divine. The idealism associated with that sacrificial ritual is that the horse, as an embodiment of energy and Spiritual Force, provides, through the sacrifice of its blood, its life-force, a means of connection with the Ultimate Energy, or Divine Force.

The “world” does not want to be Awakened. Does the dreamer ever try to awaken anyone or everyone in his or her dreams? It does not occur to the dreamer to do so. Those who appear in dreams are not there to be awakened. They are asleep. They come from sleep. That is where they come from. That is what this “world” is. It is the manifestation of sleep. It is unconscious. Consciousness must be uncovered at the “root”, because what is otherwise the case is unconsciousness. Unconsciousness is the sleep of Being—manufacturing dreams, diversions, and illusions. Unconsciousness is deluding itself in its reverie. That is the “world”.

I Am the Water Itself. In this Conjunction with living beings, everyone and all see themselves in My Face. I Am the Perfect Mirror. I Am Merely Present here.

Nevertheless, I have Always Been Revealing Myself As I Am—Stimulating the surface of the water in order to Awaken “Narcissus” to the Water Itself, to the Nature, Condition, and State of My Own Person.

When I am recognized, the Water Itself Is Found. Then Narcissus Vanishes, and Only My Divine Self-Domain Is.

I The Truth Of Indivisible Transcendence

20. In the phrase “Infinitely Above”, Avatar Adi Da is not referring to a physical “aboveness”: You can, even in the context of the body-mind reference, “Locate” Me (or feel Me, in the devotional sense, with the heart) and Find Me Above the head. But Finding Me Above the head is not a matter of finding Me above your scalp, at some physical point “outside” your body-mind. Such a “point of view” is “naive realism”. The “Aboveness”, or “Upness”, I am Describing is not a physical point above the physical head. Rather, that “Upness” is “up” as “up” feels from “inside” (so to speak). Thus, that “Upness” is not physical “upness” (as “upness” is naively interpreted in exoteric “religious” symbols), but esoteric “Upness”. —His Divine Presence, Avatar Adi Da Samraj February 28, 1997
