“What is the seventh stage? It is simply that Disposition in which your response to the Divine is complete. What are the stages previous to that? They are just stages of less than complete response, in which certain dimensions of your existence are not yet in the responsive condition or disposition, but which are somehow locked, contracted, unopened. “
Adi Da Samraj, November 10, 1980
From the point of view of the gross body (or gross conditional Existence), Everything (Including mind and Consciousness) Is Perceived, Conceived, and Presumed To Be An Irreducibly Material, Finite, Mortal Process.
From the point of view of the mind (or subtle conditional Existence), Everything (Including the gross body and all gross conditions) Is Perceived, Conceived, and Presumed To Be An Effect, Made Of The Infinite Objective Substance (or The Infinite Cosmic Reservoir) Of Indestructible (and, Ultimately, Indivisible) Cosmic Light (or Cosmic Mind Itself), and Caused By (and Within) lie Infinite Totality Of Cosmic Mind. And Even The Totality Of Cosmic Mind (Including the individual mind, and Consciousness Itself) Is, Thus, Presumed To Be Cosmic Light Itself (or Not Other than Cosmic Mind Itself).
From The “Point Of View” Of Consciousness Itself, Everything conditional, objective, or Objectified (Whether gross Or subtle Or causal In Nature) Is Perceived, Conceived, and Presumed To Be Consciousness (or The Ultimate and Transcendental and Inherently Spiritual, or Love Blissful, and Perfectly Subjective Reality) Itself, Such That conditional, objective, or Objectified Reality Is Inherently Realized To Be A Merely Apparent modification (or An Illusory Play) Of, In, and Upon The Native Radiance Of Consciousness Itself.
These Three Primary Perceptions, Conceptions, or Presumptions Also Correspond (Variously) To The Stages Of Life. The Perception, Conception, or Presumption Based On the point of view Of gross conditional Existence Corresponds To The conventional Perception, Conception, or Presumption Associated Vith The First Three Stages Of Life. (The cultural and General social Bias Toward “scientism, Which Tends, and Even Seeks Bind or limit Mankind To gross conditional Nature and To Even ancient tradition and philosophy of gross materialisim, Exemplifies This lower, or mundane, or adolescent Orientation.)
The (“Original”, and Then The “Basic”) Fourth Stage Of Life A Transitional Stage (or Process), Originally Also Grounded (or Naturally Associated With) the gross conditional point of Of The First Three Stages Of Life, but Awakening (Progressive Toward the (Potential) point of view, The Perception, Conception, and The Presumption Of subtle conditional Existence, mind (or Total Cosmic Mind), and Cosmic Light. (The Ordeal Associated With The Transition To, and Through, The “Original” and Then The Basic”, Fourth Stage Of Life Is The Source Of popular “Creationist”, or “Creator God”, Religions, As Well As the popular, or Less Developed, forms of sainthood.)
The Perception, Conception, or Presumption Based On point of view Of subtle conditional Existence, mind, and Co Light (In Itself), or Cosmic Mind (In Itself), Corresponds To Perception, Conception, or Presumption Associated With The Stage Of Life, and The ‘Advanced” Fourth Stage Of Life. (And the Conceptions and Practices Associated With The Fifth Stage Of Life, and The “Advanced” Fourth Stage Of Life, Are The Primary Traditional Sources Of All That Is Commonly known As Esoteric, or Secret and Higher and Mystical, Religion Spirituality.)
The Perception, Conception, or Presumption Based “Point Of View” Of Consciousness Itself Corresponds To The Perception, Conception, or Presumption Associated Sixth and The Seventh Stages Of Life. (And The Sixth Stage Is The Basic, or Common, Source Of Transcendentalist Conceptions and Traditions Of Enlightenment, or Liberation, Where Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life Domain Of Most Ultimate Freedom.)
Any One Of The Three Primary Modes Of Perception, Conception, or Presumption I Have Just Described Could Be (and Is) Affirmed By individuals, groups, and Traditions In The Sphere, but Which One Of The Three Modes Is Ultimately (or Expressive Of Truth Itself)? It Is The Third, or The Perception, Conception, or Presumption Based On The “Point Of View” Of Consciousness Itself. Why? 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 Witnesses Is Consciousness Itself.
No Matter what arises, You Are Consciousness Itself. You Are Never Really (or In Truth) Separately Identical To (or Even Really, or In Truth, limited by) what Is objective (or Objectified) To You, but You Tend To Feel (or Presume) Specific (or Separate) Identification With (or, Otherwise, limitation by) objective (or Objectified) conditions, Until You Are Able To Inspect (and To Be Inherently, and Inherently Perfectly, Identified With) Your Real (or Native, or Inherent, and Inherently Perfect) “Situation”, Which Is always Already Free Consciousness Itself, The Inherently Free object (or Perfectly Subjective Being) In The (Apparent) Context conditional objects (or Of Apparently Objectified Light), and Tho (It Must Be Realized) Is The Self Existing, Self Radiant (or Being, or Person) That Is Always Already Prior To conditional objects and Always Already Prior To Apparently ‘objectified Light (or Apparently Objectified Spirit Energy) Itself. Therefore, the points of view of body and mind (and their Preceptions, Conceptions, or Presumptions) Are Secondary To and Utterly Dependent Upon) The “Point Of View” Of Consciousness Itself (and The Perception, Conception, or presumption Associated With Consciousness Itself). Indeed, The Preceptions, Conceptions, or Presumptions Based On the points view of body and mind Could Not Even Be Made, Were body mind Not Founded In (or Witnessed By) Consciousness and, When the body mind and the conditional worlds Are Finally (Divinely) Self Recognized To Be Transparent (or Merely Apparent), Un Necessary, and Inherently Non Binding Modifications Of (By Me Avatarically Self Revealed) Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self Evidently Divine Self Condition (and Source Then There Is Only Me, Only The “You” That Is (Non Separately, Beyond the ego I”) Not ‘Different” From Me As I Am Only One Self, Only Real God, Only Truth, Only Reality, Only egoless, “Bright” Consciousness, Only divine Love Bliss, Only The Perfectly subjective Feeling of Being (Itself).
A True (or Truly human) Culture Must Accommodate and Tolerate individuals In Each and All Of The Stages Of Life, but (In The Optimum Case) It Also Must Not Fail To Inform and Guide The Culture Of Each Of The Progressive Stages Of Life With The Wisdom Orientation Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life (or The Wisdom Orientation Toward Inherent, and Inherently Most Perfect, Realization Of That Which Is Inherently Perfect).
In The Total (or Full and Complete) Practice Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam), Each and Every Form (and Possible Developmental Stage) Of Practice Is Indeed Informed and Guided By The Wisdom Orientation Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life. Each and Every Form Of Practice and Possible Developmental Stage Of Practice In The Way Of The Heart, and Each and Every Stage Of Realization In The Way Of The Heart, Develops In The Context Of One or More Of The Seven Stages Of Life, but The Orientation Is Always, From The Earliest Awakening Of The Heart’s Great Urge(or Purpose), To Realize (By Means Of Devotionally Me Recognizing and Devotionally To Me Responding Heart Communion With Me) The (By Me Avatarically Self Revealed) Inherent (and Inherently Perfect) and Self Radiant (or Inherently Spiritual) Self Condition and Source Condition That Is Transcendental (and Self Existing) Divine (or Perfectly Subjective) Being.
Therefore, In The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam), There Is A Great Secret In This .Matter Of Transition From Stage Of Life To Stage Of Life: The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam) Is A Process That Is Both Progressive and Instant.
The Process Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart, Viewed In The Vertical (or Extended) Context Of the body mind, Is A Process That Must (Necessarily) Develop Progressively, In The Form Of Various Practices, Processes, and Signs Which (As I Have Indicated In The Dawn Horse Testament) Are Associated, Variously, With The Seven Stages Of Life.
Nevertheless, The Process Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart, Viewed In The Horizontal Context Of the body mind That Is To Say, In The Simple Context (and Left, Middle, and Right Ranges) Of The Heart, Upon Which All Extended (or conditional, or phenomenal) activities, experiences, and Signs Are Built, Is A (Generally, Progressive) Process That Can Also Fulfill Itself Directly (Even Suddenly), Thus Economizing (and, In The Typical Case, Even Bypassing) Various Practices, Processes, and Signs That Are Otherwise Associated With The Vertical (or Progressive) Unfoldment Of The Way Of The Heart.
The Heart Is The Primal Structure In the body mind. It Is Basically Made Of Three Parts, Indicated By The Left Side, The Middle Station, and The Right Side.
The Left Side Of The Heart Is The Base Of the waking state, bodily experience, The Descending (or Frontal) Line Of the body mind, and The First Four Stages Of Life. (And The Left Side Of The Heart Is Stimulated By any kind of conceptual activity of mind.)
The Middle Station Of The Heart Is The Base Of the dreaming state, all that is the deeper psyche (or subtle mind), The Ascending (or Spinal) Line Of the body mind, The Deeper Purpose Of The Fourth Stage Of Life (Even Also Expressed In The Region Of The Left Side Of The Heart and The Frontal Line Of the body mind), and The Total Purpose Of The Fifth Stage Of Life. (And The Middle Station Of The Heart Is Stimulated By The Progressively Effective Relinquishment Of all conceptual activity of mind.)
The Right Side Of The Heart Is The Base Of the state of deep sleep, and It Is The Base Of The Uninspected Presumption Of an individual (or Separate) Conscious self, and It Is Associated With The Sixth Stage Course Of The By Me Avatarically Self Revealed Divine Spirit Current (That Moves Downward To The Right Side Of The Heart From Above The Total Crown Of the head, Via Amrita Nadi), and With The Ultimate Purpose Demonstrated In The Context Of (and By Moving Beyond) The Sixth Stage Of Life. The Right Side Of The Heart Is Both The Ultimate Root Origin Of attention and The Ultimate Root Origin Of The By Me Avatarically Self Revealed Divine Spirit Current Itself. The Right Side Of The Heart Is The bodily Seat Associated With The Witness Position Of Consciousness, Which Even Witnesses (or Is Always Already Prior To) the conditional “I” (or the self Contraction), and Which (Thus) Witnesses, Inspects, and Inherently (or Always Already) Transcends the body mind, the conditional states of waking, dreaming, and sleeping, and The Presumption Of an individual (or Separate) Conscious self. Therefore, The Right Side Of The Heart Is Also The bodily Seat Associated (Apparently) With Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and (Most Ultimately) Divine Self Realization, The “Regeneration” Of Amrita Nadi (or The Apparent Return Of The By Me Avatarically Self Transmitted “Bright” Divine Spirit Current To the body mind After The Awakening Of Divine Self Realization), The Continuous Spontaneous Demonstration Of “Open Eyes” (or The Native Divine Self Recognition Of the body mind and all of its phenomenal relations), and The Entire “Bright” Process Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life. (And The Right Side Of The Heart Is Stimulated By Direct and Persistent Feeling Observation, or Mere and Tacit Witnessing, Of The Root Feeling Of Relatedness, but The Right Side Of The Heart, and Even The Total Heart, Is Fully Awakened, or Most Perfectly Resolved In Its Perfect Source, Only In The Inherently mindless, and, Thus, Inherently thought free, Feeling Transcendence Of All “Difference” In The Most Ultimate and Inherently Most Perfect Awakening Of Perfectly Subjective Transcendental, Spiritual, and Divine Consciousness Itself.)
In the daily course of human functioning (“moving” from deep sleep, to dreaming, to ordinary waking, or from naturally unconscious, to subconscious, to ordinary conscious states), The Current Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Spirit Presence Moves, In Man, From The Right Side Of The Heart To The Middle Station Of The Heart and Then To The Left Side Of The Heart, On The Free Base (and In The Perfect Self Domain) Of Consciousness Itself, Associated With The Right Side Of The Heart (Prior To The Knot Of attention, and The Coincident Feeling Of Separateness, and Of Relatedness, and Of ‘Difference”, That Is Superimposed There). Once The Current Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Spirit Presence Moves In The Heart (From The Right Side To The Middle Station and Then To The Left Side), and attention (Thereby) arises (With, and As, The Presumption Of ego I, or the conditional, and Inherently self Contracted, and Inherently psycho physical, self) In The Context Of the body mind, The Inherent (and Perfectly Subjective) Feeling Of Being (Itself), or The Transcendental (or Non conditional) “Point Of View” Becomes (Apparently) limited by the body mind self (or The, Necessarily, conditional Feeling Of Separateness, Relatedness, and “Difference”), and The “Point Of View” Of The Transcendental (or Non conditional) Origin (or Real Condition) Tends (Thereby) To Be Forgotten. Thereafter, The Spiritual, Transcendental, and Divine Process (Of Realization Of The Original, or Always Already Real, Self Condition and Source Condition) Naturally Becomes A Kind Of ‘Great Path Of Return” (Via The Stages Of Life, and, At Last, Via The Right Side Of The Heart) To The Original, or Transcendental (and Inherently Spiritual), Divine (or Perfectly Subjective) Self Condition and Source Condition.
The ego I” Tends To Relinquish its conditional viewpoint Only Gradually, Through The Extended (or Vertical) Process Of The Stages Of Life (and The Progressive Stages Of The Developmental Process Of The Way Of The Heart). Therefore, The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart Tends To Progress In The Likeness Of The ‘Great Path Of Return”, Until The Final Crisis Of The Sixth Stage Of Life (Which Crisis Establishes The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life).
My Avataric Divine Purpose (or Avataric Divine Heart Work) Is Not Only To Communicate Right Understanding Of the ego I”, The Seven Stages Of Life, and The Practices and Signs Naturally Associated With Each Of The Seven Stages Of Life, but To “Radically” (or Most Directly) Introduce The Most Ultimate (Divine, and Inherently Most Perfect) Possibility Into That Entire Affair. Therefore, By Entering Into Relationship With all conditionally Manifested beings, I Call (and Work To Align) each and all To My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Heart Baptism, and (By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Heart Baptism) I Attract each and all To My Avatarically Self Revealed (and Very, and Transcendental, and Perfectly Subjective, and Inherently Spiritual, and Inherently egoless, and Inherently Perfect, and Self Evidently Divine) State.
My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Heart Baptism Works At The Heart Of My Seeing Devotee. My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Heart Baptism, Which Is The Free Heart Transmission Of My Avatarically Self Revealed Divine Spirit
Presence Of Self Radiant (or Inherently Spiritual), and Self Existing (or Transcendental), and Self Evidently Divine (or Perfectly Subjective) Being, Constantly Works To Awaken My Seeing Devotee To The (By Me Avatarically Self Revealed) Native (or Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self Evidently Divine) Self Position (Rather Than To The Extended, or conditional, Position Of either the body mind self or the mind self). My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Spiritual Heart Presence and
My Call To Inherent (and Inherently Most Perfect) Realization Of My Avatarically Self Revealed (Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self Evidently Divine) Self Condition Constantly Serve To Awaken My Seeing Devotee Directly To The Witness Position Of Consciousness Itself, and To The Inherently Perfect Practice (and The Ultimate, and Inherently Perfect, Realization) Associated With The Right Side Of The Heart (and Practice Of The Way Of The Heart In The Context Of The Sixth Stage Of Life and The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life).
I Call and Attract every one To Realize My Avatarically Self Revealed (Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self Evidently Divine) Self Condition and Source Position, Which Is The Inherent (and Perfectly Subjective) Feeling Of Being (Itself). Only the lim itations (and The Tendencies) In each individual’s Devotional Response To Me Determine How Fully (or In What Fashion) The Developmental Stages Of Life In The Way Of The Heart (Previous To Practice In The Context Of The Sixth and The Seventh Stages Of Life) Must Be Enacted (In The Vertical, or Extended, Plane Of Practices and Signs).
The Seven Stages Of Life Are (Together) The Single (but Progressive) Process Of Life, As A Total, and (In Due Course) Ultimate, and (Finally) Divine Event. The Seven Stages Of Life Are On Transcending the First Six Stages of Life Designed (or Structured) and Determined By The Real and Total and Hierarchical Structure Of Man. The Seven Stages Of Life Are
The Design (or Inherent Way) Of The (Total, and, In Due Course, Ultimate, and, Finally, Divine) Potential Of Man To Progressively (and, At Last, Most Perfectly) Transcend conditional (and ego Bound) Existence, and (Thus and Thereby) To Realize Me (The Avatarically Self Revealed, and Self Existing, and Self Radiant, and Self Evidently Divine Self Condition, and Source Condition, Of All and all). The Seven (Progressive, and Hierarchical, or Hierarchically Proceeding) Stages Of Life Are Determined (or Structured) By The Real and Total and Hierarchical Structural Design Of The Cosmic Domain, and By The Exactly Corresponding Real and Total and Hierarchical Structural Anatomy Of Man. Thus, In The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam), In and By Means Of The Progressive Course Of The Seven Stages Of Life (Developed As Required In the individual case), the condi tionally Manifested (psycho physical, and human) personality Develops (Through ego Surrendering, ego Forgetting, and, More and More, ego Transcending Devotional Recognition Response To Me), and (Most Ultimately) To The Inherently Most Perfect (or Inherently, and Inherently Most Perfectly, ego Transcending) Degree. And The Degree Of Perfection Realized (and Demonstrated)
At Any Stage Of Life Is Directly Determined By The Degree To Which Perfect Transcending Is (By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace) Realized (and Demonstrated). And The Degree To Which Perfect Transcending Is (By Means Of My
Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace) Realized (and Demonstrated) At Any Stage Of Life Is Directly Determined By The Degree To Which Perfect Transcending Is Permitted (or Structurally Allowed) By The Specific Design Of The Structural (or psycho physical, and, In The Advanced and The Ultimate Stages, Spiritual) Anatomy Of Man (and The Corresponding Structural Design Of The Cosmic Domain) At The Actual, Present Level (or Stage) Of Life That Is Realized (and Demonstrated). Therefore, In The Context Of The Way Of The Heart, The First Six Stages Of Life Are (or Must Be) Understood To Be The (Possible) Progressive Stages Of The (By My Avataric Divine Grace Given) Transcending Of psycho physical egoity, and The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life Is (or Must Be) Understood To Be The (Necessary) Stage Of Inherently Most Perfect Demonstration (Wherein and Whereby The Inherent, and Inherently Most Perfect, and, Necessarily, By My Avataric Divine Grace Given, Transcending Of psycho physical egoity Is Demonstrated To The Degree Of Inherently Most Perfect, or Truly Most Perfectly Outshining, Self Radiance).
The First Six Stages Of Life Are (or Must Be) A Continuous Process Of Transcending The Act Of self Contracted Identification With conditional Modifications Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Spirit Radiance. Therefore, I Help My Listening Devotee, My Hearing Devotee, and My Seeing Devotee To Realize That The First Six Stages Of Life Are (Themselves) Merely Stages Of Contraction From Direct and Immediate Realization Of Me, The Avataric Divine Self Revelation Of Inherently Love Blissful and Self Existing Consciousness (or Self Existing, and Self Radiant, and Perfectly Subjective Divine Being) Itself.
As A Total Process, The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam) Can Be Rightly Viewed To Be A “Radical Consideration” (and A Comprehensive “Reality Consideration”) Of the self Contraction and Of The (By MeAvatarically Self Revealed) Real (or Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self Evidently Divine) Self Condition and Source Condition. In Practice, The Way Of The Heart Tends To Develop Progressively, Coincident With Progress In and Through and Beyond Each (or However Many Are, As A Matter Of Specific Practice, Necessary) Of The First Six Stages Of Life, but, In Truth (Since The First Six Stages Of Life Are Stages In the psychobiography of the ego), The Way Of The Heart (or The Way That Is The Heart Itself) Is (Simply, or Merely) The ‘Radical” Way Of Most Directly (and Truly Most Effectively) Transcending The First Six Stages Of Life and Entering (Thereby) Into The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh (or egoless and Self Illumined, or Divinely En – Light – ened) Stage Of Life.
In The Context Of Each and All Of The First Five Stages Of Life, Your Presumption (By Tendency) Is That You Are the body mind self, and That the body mind self Is a Separate and Independently Real individual entity. And, In The Context Of The Sixth Stage Of Life, Your Presumption (By Tendency, Even Inherited From the psycho physical point of view Associated With Each and All Of The First Five Stages Of Life) Is That You Are (Even As Consciousness) Separate and Independent (or Inherently Dissociated From all conditions, and Even From Any Apparently “Other” Consciousness).
Therefore, Practice Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart In The Context Of (or, Otherwise, In Relation To) The First Five Stages Of Life Must First (and By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace) Realize (or Awaken, and Do The Earliest Work Of) Most Fundamental self Understanding, and (Then) the Presumed body mind self Is (On That Basis, and By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace) To Be Devotionally Surrendered To My Avatarically Self Revealed Spiritual (and Always Blessing) Divine Presence (and, Thus and Thereby, To The By Me Avatarically Self Revealed Divine Spiritual Reality and Person, or The By Me Avatarically Self Revealed Self Radiant and Self Existing Self Condition and Source Condition, Which Is Real God, or Truth, or Reality Itself), Such That the body mind self Is Progressively Unified With (and Transcended In) My Avatarically Self Revealed Spiritual (and Always Blessing) Divine Presence (and, Thus and Thereby, Progressively Unified With, and Transcended In, The By Me Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Spirit Energy and The By Me Avatarically Self Revealed Divine Person, or The By Me Avatarically Self Revealed Self Radiant and Self Existing Divine Self Condition and Source Condition Which Is Real God, or Truth, or Reality Itself), To The Degree That Native Identification With The Witness Position Of Consciousness ts (Ultimately, and By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace) Revealed. And Practice Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam) In The Context Of The Sixth Stage Of Life Is, Most Basically, A Matter Of Native Identification With Consciousness Itself, By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace (Through Continued Right Feeling Contemplation Of My Avatarically Born Bodily Human Divine Form, My Avatarically Self Revealed Spiritual, and Always Blessing, Divine Presence, and My Avatarically Self Revealed, and Very, and Transcendental, and Perfectly Subjective, and Inherently Spiritual, and Inherently egoless, and Inherently Perfect, and Self Evidently Divine State, Exercised To The Degree Of Inherent, and Inherently Perfect, Identification With My Avatarically Self Revealed, and Very, and Transcendental, and Perfectly Subjective, and Inherently Spiritual, and Inherently ego less, and Inherently Perfect, and Self Evidently Divine State), Until The Presumption Of Separate and Independent Consciousness Is Utterly Transcended In Native (or Inherent) and Inherently Most Perfect Realization Of The By Me Avatarically Self Revealed Inherent (and Inherently Perfect) and Perfectly Subjective Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self Evidently Divine Self Condition (and Source Condition), or Divine Self Consciousness. To Practice The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam) In The Progressive (or Developmental) Context Of The First Six Stages Of Life, You Must (By Tendency) Presume To Really Be the conditional and individual (or Separate) body mind self (or An Otherwise Separate and Independent, or Inherently Dissociated, Consciousness), but If (By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace, In The Sixth Stage Context Of The Way Of The Heart) You Awaken (Inherently, and Inherently Most Perfectly) To The Realization That You Are The Self Radiant (or Inherently Spiritual) and Self Existing (or Transcendental) and Self Evidently Divine Self Condition (Inherently Free Of Every Form Of Bondage or limitation, Whether In The Form Of Attachment Or Dissociation), Then (and Thereafter) The Only “Practice” Possible For You Is That Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life In The Way Of The Heart, In Which The (By Me Avatarically Self Revealed) Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self Evidently Divine Self Inherently and Spontaneously Self Recognizes all Apparently arising conditions (or limitations), or All Modifications Of Its Own Radiance (or Love Bliss), and (Thus and Thereby) Apparently (and Apparently Progressively) Restores Its Own Radiance To Itself (Un Modified), Even (In Due Course) To The Degree Of The Most Perfect Outshining Of conditional Existence Itself. True (or Most Ultimate, and Inherently Most Perfect) Divine Enlightenment (or The Only By Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Realization) Will Awaken, In The Context Of conditional Existence, Only In The Midst Of The Ordeal Of The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam). And The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart Includes (In Principle, and Potentially) all the conditions Associated With Each and All Of The Seven Stages Of Life. However, The Call and The Help Given (By Me) To all those who Practice The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart Makes It Possible (and, In Most Cases, Even Likely) For Certain Features Of The First Six Stages Of Life To Be Bypassed (or Fulfilled In Principle, and In Effect, Before They Are Fulfilled In Every Detail Of conditional experience).
To Transcend egoity (or self Contraction) Is To Transcend The First Six Stages Of Life. Therefore, If (By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace) self Transcendence Is Quickened, or If (By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace) There Is A Sudden Transition From the point of view of the body, or of the body mind, or of the mind To The Native Position Of Consciousness Itself, Then The Structurally Determined Passage (or ‘Great Path Of Return”) Through The Progressive Stages Of Life (In The Way Of The Heart) Will Be Quickened (or Even Altered).
The psycho physical (or, Otherwise, Presumed) ego, as it (Apparently) is (or as it Progressively appears) In The First Six Stages Of Life, Must Be Really Transcended. Each Of The Progressive Stages Of Life Is (In Principle, or Really) A Test Of self Transcendence, and Each Of The First Six (or Progressive) Stages Of Life Is, Therefore, To Be Directly Engaged As A Test Of self Transcendence (or, Otherwise, Bypassed On The Basis Of Real and Prior self Transcendence) In The Course Of Practice Of The Way Of The Heart. This Test Of self Transcendence Begins At The Student Beginner Stage Of The Way Of The Heart (and EvenAt The Student Novice Stage, Of Formal Approach To The Total
Practice Of The Way Of The Heart), and The Test Intensifies,Stage Of Life By Stage Of Life, Thereafter. Therefore (and As The Stages Of Life, and The Developmental Stages Of Practice, Progress), If There Is Weakness In Listening To Me (or In The Availability Of attention and Feeling), or If The Impulse (or The Motive) Toward Most Perfectly ego Transcending Real God Realization Is Not Fundamental and Intense, or If There Is Weakness In The Application Of self Discipline (functional, practical, relational, or Cultural), or If There Is Weakness In Hearing Me, or In Seeing Me, or If There Is Weakness In Any Form Of Practicing, Then Passage Through (and Beyond) The Progressive Stages Of Life Will Be Retarded and Prolonged. But If The Listening To Me Is True, and If The Impulse (or The Motive)
Toward Most Perfectly ego Transcending Real God Realization Is Real, and If The self Discipline Is Consistent and Effective, and If The Hearing Of Me, The Seeing Of Me, and The Advancing Practice Are All (and Progressively, and Fundamentally) Strong, Then The Transition To Ultimate and Inherently Perfect Practice (or Practice In The Context Of Consciousness Itself) Can Be Quickened By Free and Real Heart Response To My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace, and It May Not Be Necessary For Every Classic Detail Of The Progressive Stages Of Life To Be Fulfilled In That By My Avataric Divine Grace Quickened Process.
The First Three Stages Of Life Are (In and Of Themselves) Simply Stages Of ordinary human Development (functional, practical, and relational). They Will Tend To Be Fulfilled (If Only To A Lesser Degree) In Any Case. (If death Occurs During the earlier years, or At Any Stage Of Life, and Full Awakening Does Not Take Place Either Before Or During The death Process, and If Divine Translation Is, Therefore, Not Realized, Then The Process Of Awakening and Divine Translation Will, or Must, Take Place Under the conditions that arise after death and Via The Stages Of Life That arise after death.)
Relative To The First Three Stages Of Life, The Great (and Inherent) Obligation Is To Overcome Un Happy and egoReinforcing Tendencies That Prevent The Transition To The Fourth Stage Of Life. Therefore, It Becomes The Obligation Of the physically adult human individual (or the Developing human being who Has Attained the physical age Of Basic Adaptation To The First Three Stages Of Life) To Thoroughly Observe and (Most Fundamentally) Understand and Really and Effectively Transcend The First Three Stages Of egoity (or The Pattern Of self Contraction That Has Issued From the years of infancy, childhood and adolescence).
The Fourth, The Fifth, and The Sixth Stages Of Life Are Each Associated With A Specific Potential Error. And If The Specific Error Is (In The Way Of The Heart) Transcended, Then Passage Through The Particular Stage Of Life Can Be Quickened (and, In The Likely Case Of Early Transition To Practice Of The Way Of The Heart In The Context Of The Sixth Stage Of Life, Even All Of The Fifth Stage, and “Advanced” Fourth Stage, Ascending Practice May Be Directly Bypassed).
The Fourth Stage Error Is The Tendency To Prolong The First Three Stages Of Life (and The Patterns Of Un Happiness That Are egoically Associated With The First Three Stages Of Life) and To Make The Fourth Stage Of Life An End In Itself (Rather Than A Transition, or A Transitional Means, For The Realization Of The Stages Of Life Beyond The Fourth). This Tendency Takes The Form Of A Fixed Idea Of The Divine (As An Ultimate Entity Eternally Separate From the conditional self entity) and A Fixed Idea Of the personal self (As Either a Mortal Or an Immortal entity that Is Eternally Separate From and Dependent Upon The Divine). On The Basis Of This Tendency, The Fourth Stage Of Life Is Made Into A Never Ending Search For The Divine and A Never Ending Appeal To The Divine For Intimacy, Relief, and self Satisfaction.
In The Only By Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam), The Fourth Stage Error Is Transcended (and The Fourth Stage Of Life Is, Itself, Quickened) By Means Of The Process Of The True Hearing Of Me, The Real Seeing Of Me, and The (Altogether) Right Practicing Of The Way Of The Heart. By Means Of The Effective (or Truly ego Surrendering, ego Forgetting, and ego Transcending) Listening To Me, and By Means Of The True Hearing Of Me (or The Awakening, and The Effective Exercise, Of Most Fundamental self Understanding), the self Contraction (and The ego Idea, or The Illusion and The Fixed Presumption Of an Eternally Separate self entity) Must Be Transcended. Through The True Seeing Of Me (By Means Of The Reception Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Heart Baptism), The (By Me Avatarically Self Revealed) Real (and Even Total) and Self Evidently Divine Self Condition Is (By Means Of My Avatarically Self Transmitted Divine Grace) Realized Directly, and It Is (or Must Be) Immediately Realized (In every moment Of Heart Communion With Me) As The Ultimate Self Condition and The Perfectly Subjective Source Condition (Rather Than Merely The Ultimate Object) Of the conditional self. And, Through True (and Really Effective) Practicing, Either The Fourth Stage Of Life Is (Progressively) Linked To The Fifth Stage Of Life Or (In The Case Of Most Practitioners Of The Total Practice Of The Way Of The Heart) The Fourth Stage Of Life (In Its “Basic” Form) Is Linked Directly To The Sixth Stage Of Life.
“Therefore, I must say to you that, even though relative immaturity may necessitate participation in a developmental or evolutionary course of practice, there is also a most radical Way. That Way is made clear in the Realized Awakening of the seventh stage of life, and it is the Realization to which I was Awakened in the ultimate Event of my own practice.”
