Have I Said
It?

Bubba Free John (Adi Da
Samraj), 1973

Note to the reader: As a member of Adi
Da’s (then Bubba Free John’s) community from about
1973-1975, during which time I lived for nine months in
Persimmon, the sanctuary where he lived. My service was to
creating an index of his early books. I found these writings
to be compelling, along with some of outrageous talks that
have not found their way into print. Around his birthday in
1975 (to the best of my recollection), Adi Da was planning
on moving with a small group to Hawaii. For that occasion, I
arranged a selection of his compelling words by topic
(mostly selected from his books) and hand wrote them in a
blank book for his enjoyment. As far as I know, nothing ever
came of that compilation. That became Book One of two parts,
the second of which I completed some time thereafter. Now
through the internet, I make both parts available to
interested readers. These blank books (I made a copy for
myself) have been sitting on my bookshelves all this time,
and after Adi Da’s passing, it occurred to me that this
compilation would be very useful to many readers.
