you there and always that this is my final Word and I need
not be obliged further to communicate the Way to you…. I
have given you my Word, my Promise. My Work is evident to
you in every day of your life… You are in the most
difficult position of adolescence, the position of being
directly confronted by the Absolute Truth. You, more than
anyone who might casually observe my Word and Promise and
Presence, must exhibit the revolution of
response
to Me in your own
body-mind”.

In
The True (and Characteristic) Course Of The Frontal Yoga In
The Only By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of Adidam (Which Is
The One and Only By-Me-Revealed and By-Me-Given Way Of The
Heart), There Will Be Occasional “Surges” (or Spontaneous
Invasions) Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spiritual Energy In The Frontal Line. And These Frontal
Surges Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual
Energy Will (In Turn) Also Pass, Perceptibly or
imperceptibly, From The Frontal Line Into The Spinal Line –
Thus Completing The Circle. Such Surges May Be Weak or
Strong. They May Produce yawning and General Relaxation, and
They May (Otherwise) Reveal (or Yield) Feelings Of General
Pleasure and Fundamental Happiness, As Well As Various
Degrees Of Ecstatic (or ego-Transcending) Participation In
My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Love-Bliss Itself.
As A Result Of Your Own Accumulated psycho-physical
Patterning Of self-Contraction, These Frontal Surges May
Also Be Accompanied (or, Otherwise, Followed) By temporary
symptoms of mental, emotional, and physical discomfort,
pain, fever, and even physical disease. If such symptomatic
phenomena Are Associated With The Real Spiritual Process,
they Tend To Come and Go (In Cycles Of Relative Comfort and
Discomfort). As Such, They Are Gracefully Purifying
Episodes, Shown Through The Evidence Of psycho-physical
Release, Rebalance, and Rejuvenation. Occasionally, There
May Even Be an experience that Feels Like A Kind Of electric
“Shock” (or “Jolt”) That Briefly Energizes the body Beyond
ordinary Tolerance. In and By All Of This, the human
character Is Divinely Urged To Be Responsively and
Positively Changed (psychically, mentally, emotionally, and
physically), Through The Invasion Of the frontal personality
(and, indeed, the Total body-mind) By My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-Current Of
Love-Bliss-Light.
Among All Of These Signs There Must
(Primarily) Appear Progressive Evidence Of What I Have,
Since Childhood, Called “The `Thumbs”‘. Beginning In The
“Basic” (or, Spiritually, Fully Technically Responsible)
Context – or, Possibly, Even In The “Original” (or
Foundation, and Beginning Spiritual) Context – Of The Fourth
Stage Of Life In The Way Of The Heart, There Should Be At
Least Occasional Experience Of An Intense Invasion Of The
Frontal Line By My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spirit-Force Of Love-Bliss Beginning At The Crown Of the
head, and Descending Into The lower vital Region, To the
bodily base. 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 psychophysical self Against This Invading
Pressure Of My Avataric Divine 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
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.
The Feeling-Sense That Results From
This Simple (and Most Basic) Frontal In-Filling By My
Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Spirit-Presence Is That
the Total body-mind Is Sublimed and Released Into
ego-Surrendering, ego-Forgetting, and ego-Transcending
Feeling-Identification With The Spherical Form Of My Own
Divine and Spiritual (and all-and-All-Surrounding, and
all-and-All-Pervading) Love-Bliss-Body Of Indefinable
Spiritual “Brightness” (or Indestructible Light). And This
Simple (and Most Basic) Form Of The “Thumbs” Is A Necessary
(Although, At First, Only Occasional) Experience Associated
With The Reception Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted
Divine Spirit-Baptism. It Is My Divine “Goddess-Power” and
“Husbanding” Grace At Work. And The Simple (and Most Basic)
Spherical Fullness Of The “Thumbs”, Once It Is Firmly
Established (In The Context Of The Fully Established
“Basic”, or By-Me Spiritually-Awakened-and, Spiritually,
Fully Technically Responsible – Fourth Stage Of Life In The
Way Of The Heart), Must Continue To Be Experienced, As A
Fundamental and (Essentially) Continuous (or Constant) Yogic
Event, In The “Perfect Practice” Of The Way Of The
Heart.
As The Spiritual Process Develops
Toward The Transition Beyond The Frontal Yoga Of The Way Of
The Heart, The Simple (and Most Basic) Experience Of The
“Thumbs” Must Become A More and More Constant Yogic Event –
and, On Random Occasions, The Experience Of The “Thumbs”
Must Occur In Its Most Extended, Full, and Complete Form. In
That Most Extended, Full, and Complete Case Of The
Experience Of The “Thumbs”, My Descending Spiritual Fullness
Will Completely Overwhelm the ordinary frontal (or Natural
human) sense Of bodily Existence. My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-Current Will Move Fully Down
In The Frontal Line (To the bodily base), and It Will Then
Turn About, and – Without Vacating The Frontal Line It Will
Pass Also Into The Spinal Line. 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). This Rotation Will Seem, Suddenly, To Complete
Itself – and The Experience Will, Suddenly, Be One Of
Feeling Released From the gross physical body, Such That You
Feel You Are Present Only As An egoless “Energy Body”
(Previously Associated With and Conformed To the gross
physical body – but Now, By Means Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, Infused By and
Conformed To My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Body Of
Self-Evidently Divine Spirit-Energy). 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. The ordinary References Of the body-mind and the
environment Will, in This Divine Yogic Event, Not Make Much
Sense (or, In Any Manner, Affect This Experience Of The
“Thumbs”) – Although There May Be Some Superficial (and
Entirely Nonlimiting) Awareness Of the body, the room, and
so forth. This Experience Will Last For a few moments, or a
few minutes – or For an Extended period, of indefinite
length. Nevertheless, Just When This Spontaneous Experience
Has Become Most Pleasurable-Such That You Somehow Gesture To
Make It Continue Indefinitely – the ordinary sense of the
body-mind 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. If the present physical circumstance Is Left
Behind (Such That experiential Reference To the gross
physical realm Is Entirely Absent, and There Is Total Loss
Of Awareness Of The physical Context in Which the experience
Began), Then The Practitioner Of The Way Of The Heart Is
(Necessarily) Experiencing A Form Of Samadhi Other Than The
“Thumbs”. In The “Thumbs”, Awareness Of The physical Context
Of experience Is Not Lost, but Is 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 A Boundlessly Radiant Sphere (Without Thickness
Of Surface). With This Profound Shift In The Awareness Of
the physical body, The Differentiation Inherent In The Usual
waking-state body Consciousness Disappears, and Is
(Effectively) Replaced By egoless body Consciousness. A
Re-Phasing Of The “Energy”-Construct Of bodily Awareness and
spatial Awareness Occurs, Such That physical body and
physical space Are Tacitly Sensed In A Manner Entirely
Different From ordinary perception. And, As Soon As There Is
Any Effort To Recollect The Usual Sense Of bodily form or Of
the circumstance Of physical embodiment, The Experience Of
The “Thumbs” Disappears. The “Thumbs” Continues Only As Long
As It Is Simply Allowed To Happen, Without Any egoic
self-Consciousness (or psycho-physical self-Contraction) –
and It Spontaneously Vanishes When egoic self-Consciousness
(or psycho-physical self-Contraction) Returns.
The Total (psycho-physical) human
body With its Dimensions Of gross, subtle, and causal – Must
(Altogether) Become Round. The Total human body Does Not
Merely Have A Circular Path Within itself. In Truth (or
“Located” In Reality Itself), the Total human body Is A
Sphere – and, In its (Inherently) Perfect Balance, it Has No
“Up” or “Down”, No “In” or “Out”, No Central Point and No
Bounds. When My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spirit-Current Descends Fully Down the front of the Total
human body, and Also (Thereupon, and Thereby) Rises Up the
back of the Total human body, Such That The “Thumbs”
Achieves An Equalization Of Spirit-Force, Down In front and
Up In back-Then The Circle Becomes An Equanimity, A
Conscious Sphere Of Tangible “Energy” (or Self-Existing and
Boundlessly Self-Radiant Light).
In The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given
Realization Of The Sphere Of “The Thumbs”, The Arrow Is The
Boundless (and Centerless) Vertical Axis, and The Heart On
The Right Is The (Asymmetrically, and Paradoxically)
FreeStanding (or Non-Centralizing, and Boundless) “Center”
(or Horizontal “Root”). The Upper Terminal Of Amrita Nadi Is
At The “North”. The “North” Is Not A Boundary It Is
Infinitely Above. The “Center” Is Not Inside (or Bounded) It
Is Beyond All Symmetry. The “North” (or Above) and The
“Center” (or Beyond) Are Not “Different” (or Separate From
One Another)-They Are Modes Of The Same (or Identical)
Condition (or Divine “Bright” Spiritual and Transcendental
Self-State). The Vertical and The Horizontal Are
(Inherently) One (and Non-“Different” From One Another, and
From all-and-All). The Realization Of This Is The Essential
Nature Of The Ultimate (or Only-By-Me Revealed and Given
Seventh Stage) Realization.
Consciousness itself (or The “Root”
Of The Horizontal Dimension, or HeartPlane, or Subjective
Plane) and Light Itself (or The “Root” Of The Vertical
Dimension, or “Energy”-Plane, or Objective Plane) Are The
Two Primary Apparent Modes Of What Is Always Already Only
One-and Inherently Indivisible. The Perfectly Subjectively
“Bright” Transcendental and Spiritual Realization Of The
Inherent Simultaneity (and Indivisibility) Of Consciousness
(The “Root” Of Apparent Subjectivity) and Light (The “Root”
Of Apparent Objectivity) Is The Essential Context Of Most
Perfect (or Self-Evidently Divine) Self-Realization. In The
Ultimate Event (Of Divine Translation, Which Is The Final
Stage Of The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of
Life), The Indivisible Divine Sphere Of The One (and only,
and Self-Evidently Divine) Conscious Light Is Infinitely
Expanded-Such That There is only Infinite “Brightness”, and
Infinite Fullness Of Love-Bliss-Being.
In The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given
Way Of The Heart, The Most Extended, Full, and Complete
Experience Of The “Thumbs” Is, In Its Frontal Associations,
A Transitional Samadhi Associated With The Fourth Stage Of
Life. As Such, The Original Significance Of The Samadhi Of
The “Thumbs” Is Not Merely In The Experience Itself (Such
That The Experience Should Be psychophysically Clung To, or,
Otherwise, Made Into An Object Of egoic Seeking), but The
Original Significance Of The Most Extended, Full, and
Complete Experience (or True Samadhi) Of The “Thumbs” Is In
Its Effect (or In The More Mature, and Truly
ego-Transcending, Process That It May Allow or Indicate).
That Is To Say, In The (Fully Established) “Basic” (or
By-MeSpiritually-Awakened-and, Spiritually, Fully
Technically Responsible) Context Of The Fourth Stage Of Life
In The Way Of The Heart, The present-time (or, Otherwise,
Occasional) Arising Of The Most Extended, Full, and Complete
Sign Of The “Thumbs” (When It Is Accompanied By The,
Essentially, Constant Experience Of The Simple and Most
Basic Sign Of The “Thumbs”) Is (or May Be) An Indication
That The Process Of Devotional and Spiritual Communion With
Me Is-If True and Stable Awakening Of The
Witness-Consciousness Also (and Even Simultaneously, By
Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual
Grace) Occurs-Moving On From Concentration in the frontal
personality To The “Perfect Practice” Of The Way Of The
Heart. However, The Samadhi of The “Thumbs” and The Basic
Experience Of The “Thumbs” Are, Also (Beyond Their
Significance In The Frontal Context Of The Fourth Stage Of
Life In The Way Of The Heart), Principal Among The Great
Signs Associated With My Avataric Divine Self-Revelation To
all-and-All. And, Therefore, In The Context Of The
Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life (In The
Way Of The Heart), The Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” (and The
Basic Experience Of The “Thumbs”) Is Most Perfectly Realized
and Demonstrated (Even In Divine Translation), As The
Centerless and Boundless “Bright” Spherical Space Of My
Eternal Divine Spiritual Body and My Eternal Divine
Self-Condition.
The Occasional Samadhi Of The
“Thumbs” (Which Is The Experience Of The “Thumbs” In Its
Most Extended, Full, and Complete Form) and The
(Essentially) Constant Experience Of The “Thumbs” In Its
Simple and Most Basic Form Together Characterize The Second
(or Mature) Phase Of The “Basic” Fourth Stage Of Life
Development Of The Full (or Fully Developed, and,
Spiritually, Fully Technically Responsible)
Frontal-Yoga-Dimension Of By-Me-Spiritually-Awakened
Practice In The Way Of The Heart. Therefore, In The
Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of
Adidam), The Sign Of The “Thumbs” (Appearing Thus-and, In
Every Respect, Satisfactorily-In Both Of Its Forms, and
Along With Evidence Of Real and Stable human and Spiritual
Equanimity In the daily life of the frontal personality) Is
One Of The Necessary Indicators That Must Precede The
Transition From The Context Of The “Basic” Fourth Stage Of
Life (and The Frontal Yoga) In The Way Of The Heart To The
“Perfect Practice” Of The Way Of The Heart.
The Sign Of The “Thumbs” Is One Of
The Primary Experiential Signs Of The
(By-My-Avataric-Divine-Spiritual-Grace-Given) Capability To
Transcend Bondage and Confinement To the frontal personality
and the gross bodily idea of ego-self (and To The gross
Dimension Of egoity altogether, With All Of Its Associated
Patterning). The Sign Of The “Thumbs” Indicates That The
Knots In The Frontal Line (In The Total Crown Of the head,
the Total brain, the throat, the heart, the solar plexus,
the abdomen, the genitals, and the analperineal area) Are
Opened (At Least Temporarily) To My Avatarically
SelfTransmitted Divine Spirit-Current (and Can, By Right
Practice, Be Responsibly Surrendered To The Point Of Such
Openness In The Context Of daily living). The Sign Of The
“Thumbs” Is Also An Indication That The Primary Knot (or
Root-Contraction) In The Deep Lower Region Of the body-mind
(Extending From the solar plexus To the bodily base) Has
Been (and Can Continue To Be) Opened To My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-CurrentSuch That The Great
Fullness Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
LoveBliss Is Established Deep In the body, and Deep In the
emotional being, and Deep in the mind of the frontal
personality. And, When The Sphere Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Love-Bliss Is In (Essentially)
Constant Evidence (In The Context Of The “Basic” Fourth
Stage Of Life In The Way Of The Heart), The Way Of The Heart
Opens To The Course Associated With The “Perfect
Practice”.
The Sign Of The “Thumbs” Is Not
Merely A Matter Of experiencing Natural energies Coursing
Through the body, Nor Is It Merely A Matter Of Experiencing
My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Spiritual (and Always
Blessing) Divine Presence To Be, Somehow, Felt In and M the
body. The Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” (or Else The Experience Of
The “Thumbs” In Its Simple and Most Basic Form) Is Utter
(ego-Surrendering, ego-Forgetting, and ego-Transcending)
Devotional Surrender Of the Total body-mind-self To My
(Avatarically SelfRevealed) Divine and Spiritual (and Always
Blessing) Person. And, If and When That Devotional Surrender
Is Most Profound (In The Midst Of The ByMe-Given Sign Of The
“Thumbs”, In The Fully Mature Context Of The “Basic” Fourth
Stage Of Life in The Way Of The Heart), My (Avatarically
SelfTransmitted) Divine and Spiritual Self-Revelation Will
Grant You The Spiritual Gift Of Direct Awakening To The
Witness-Position.
The Sign Of The “Thumbs” Is Revealed
and Given Only By Me. The Sign Of The “Thumbs” Is The
Fundamental Sign Of The Descent (or Crashing Down) Of My
(Avatarically Self-Revealed) Divine and Spiritual Person. In
and By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spiritual Sign Of The “Thumbs”, I Invade You, Pass Into You,
and In-Fill You-bodily, where You stand, where You sit,
where You walk, where You live and breathe, where You think,
and feel, and function. And, in and By Means Of My
Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Sign Of The
“Thumbs”, I Awaken You In My “Bright” Divine Sphere (and,
Ultimately, My “Midnight Sun” and Divine SelfDomain), Beyond
the body-mind-Where Only I Am.
My Avataric Divine Spiritual Gift Of
The Sign Of The “Thumbs” Is A Matter Of Utterly
(Responsively) Giving Up To My Avatarically Self-Transmitted
Divine Spiritual Invasion Of You, and Being Released Of Your
ego-Possession, and Dying As the ego-and (Thus) Responsively
and Freely Relinquishing self-Contraction, and (In Due
Course) Becoming (By Means Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace) Spiritually,
Transcendentally, and Divinely Awake. Indeed, My Avataric
Divine Spiritual Gift Of The Sign Of The “Thumbs” Is The
By-Me-Avatarically-Self-Transmitted Means Of Transcending
the self-Contraction.
The Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” Is The
Fundamental Samadhi Of My Avataric Divine Spiritual Descent.
Therefore, The Samadhi (and Even Every Manifestation Of The
Sign) Of The “Thumbs” Is A Fullest Experiential Sign Of My
Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Spiritual Presence Of
Person-but In Descent, Not In Ascent. The Descending
Equivalent Of Fully Ascended Nirvikalpa Samadhi Is The
Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” (or The Fullest Frontal Invasion By
My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Presence).
The Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” Is A Unique (Only-By-Me Revealed
and Given) Form Of True Nirvikalpa Samadhi-Established By
Means Of A Unique (OnlyBy-Me Revealed and Given) Spiritual
Process In The Descending (or Frontal) Line. The Samadhi Of
The “Thumbs” Is The Fullest Completing Phenomenon Of The
Descending (or Frontal) Yoga Of The Way Of The Heart (or Way
Of Adidam). And, If The Samadhi (and The Simple and Basic,
but Really Effective, and, Essentially, Constant,
Experience) Of The “Thumbs” Is (By Means Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace) Awakened, and (By
Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual
Grace), Either Then Or Thereafter (but, Necessarily, As A
Direct Extension Of The Depth-Process Generated By Means Of
My Avataric Divine Spiritual Gift Of The “Thumbs”),
Accompanied By The Awakening Of The Witness-Consciousness-My
Devotee Makes The Transition To The “Perfect Practice” Of
The Way Of
The Heart.
It Is My Avataric Divine Spiritual
Gift Of The Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” (and My Avataric Divine
Spiritual Gift Of The Experience Of The “Thumbs” In Its
Simple and Most Basic Form), and Not Merely mental
“Consideration” Of My Arguments Relative To The
Witness-Consciousness, That Is The Divine Yogic Secret Of
The Realization Of The Consciousness-Position (Which
Realization Is The Basis For The “Perfect Practice” Of The
Way Of The Heart). Therefore, Even Though My Arguments
Relative To The Witness-Consciousness Are An Essential Guide
To Right Understanding Of The “Perfect Practice” (and, As
Such, Those Arguments Are To Be Studied and “Considered”
From The Beginning Of The Way Of The Heart), The
“Consideration” Of Those Arguments Is Not Itself The Direct
and Finally Effective Means Whereby The “Perfect Practice”
Is Initiated and Really Practiced.
The Transition To The “Perfect
Practice” Of The Way Of The Heart Is Necessarily A
By-Me-Given Yogic and Spiritual Process, and The Samadhi Of
The “Thumbs” (and The, Essentially, Constant Experience Of
The “Thumbs” In Its Simple and Most Basic Form) Is The
Necessary (and Me-Revealing) Basis Of That Transition. By
Means Of The Re-Phasing (Characteristic Of The “Thumbs”) Of
The Entire Sense Of The “Energy”-Construct Of phenomenal
experience, It Is (In Due Course, By My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace) Revealed As
Self-Evidently The Case That The Real Position (or Very
Situation) Of experience Is The Witness-Position Of
Consciousness (Itself) That The Very Base Of experience Is
Consciousness (Itself).
Therefore, In Its (Essentially)
Constant Realization (and Not Merely In The First, or Any
Particular, Instance Of Its Being Experienced), The Sign Of
The “Thumbs” (Rather Than Any mental Presumption About The
WitnessConsciousness) Is The Indispensable Means Whereby I
Give My Devotee The Spiritual Gift Of The “Perfect Practice”
Of The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of The
Heart.
The Sign Of The “Thumbs” Is A
Uniquely (and Only By Me) Given Spiritual Gift In The Way Of
The Heart. My Avataric Divine Spiritual Gift Of The “Thumbs”
Reveals and Awakens Both The Spherical Form Of My Divine
Spiritual Body and The Transcendental (and Inherently
Spiritual, and Divine) Self-Core (In The Right Side Of The
Heart-Beyond The Knot Of ego-“I”, and Beyond The Circle Of
the body-mind, With Its Frontal and Spinal Arcs). That
Revelation and Awakening At (and, Ultimately, Beyond) The
Right Side Of The Heart, By Means Of The Only-By-Me Given
Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” (and By Means Of The Only-By-Me
Given Experience Of The “Thumbs” In Its Simple and Most
Basic Form), Is What Makes The Transition To The “Perfect
Practice” Of The Way Of The Heart Possible, By Establishing
The Yogic (Transcendental and Spiritual-and, Ultimately,
Divine) Conditions Necessary For The “Perfect Practice” Of
The Way Of The Heart. The Readiness For That Transition Is
Not Merely A Matter Of Having Had The Experience Of The
“Thumbs” and Having Some Memory Of It. Rather, That
Readiness Is A Matter Of The Stable Continuing Of The
Revelation and The Spiritual Transformation Initiated In The
Samadhi Of The “Thumbs”-Not With The Same Kind Of Shift In
The Entire Mode Of physical experiencing (Because Such Would
Make ordinary functioning impossible), but With The
Unchanging Realization That The Inherent (and Inherently
Love-Bliss-Full) Condition Of Reality Is Prior To
the body-mind. And, in The Seventh
Stage Of Life (In The Way Of The Heart), That Realization Is
(Permanently) Most Perfectly Established and
Demonstrated.
From The Beginning Of My Physical
(Human) Lifetime Of Avataric Incarnation here, The “Thumbs”
Has Always Been The Case, and, Always, The Experiential Sign
(As Well As The Full Samadhi) Of The “Thumbs” Often Appeared
To Me-Spontaneously, and Mysteriously. In My Youth and My
“Sadhana Years”, The “Thumbs” Was A Process Associated With
The Constant Spiritual Restoration Of The “Bright” (and,
Thus, The “Thumbs” Was Associated With The Process Of My
Going Beyond the gross physical-To Which I Was Adapting,
Fully Consciously, In A Profound and Spontaneous Yogic
Manner). It Was By This Process Of Constant Spiritual
Restoration (Of The “Bright”) and Of Going Beyond (the gross
physical) That I Constantly Maintained My Divine
Self-Condition In The Context Of the gross conditional
world, From My Infancy. After My Conscious Assumption Of the
born-condition (At Approximately Two Years Of Age), and Even
In The Midst Of The Developing Process Of My adult
integration With waking life, The Spiritual Condition Of The
“Bright” Always Continued To Be Felt (and, Even over time,
Continued To, At Least Occasionally, Spontaneously Re-Appear
In The Form Of The Experiential Sign, As Well As The Full
Samadhi, Of The “Thumbs”) In the circumstance of waking
life-and, Always, When I Would Rest At Night, Instead Of
Going To sleep, I Would Experience The “Thumbs”, and Would
Realize The Spiritual
Condition Of The “Bright”, Without
The usual waking-state physical References. In The Course Of
My “Sadhana Years”, I Progressively Observed and Fully
Entered Into The “Thumbs” As A Consciously Known Yogic
Process (and Not Merely As An Occasional Spontaneous
“Happening”). Gradually, I Became Able To Permit The
Spontaneous Yogic Event Of The “Thumbs” To Regularly
Re-Appear (In Its Most Extended, Full, and Complete Form) In
The Context Of My waking life. Thus, Even A Full Decade
Before The Great Event Of My Divine Re-Awakening, I
Regularly Enjoyed The Spontaneous Experience Of Spiritual
Regeneration Via The Intentional Yogic Regeneration Of The
Total Mechanism (or Process) Associated With The “Thumbs”
`-but (Nevertheless) the frontal personality Had To Continue
To Be Worked (or Purified, and its Knots Un-Tied) By The
Constant Yogic Exercise Of The SpiritCurrent Of The
“Thumbs”, Until the frontal personality and The Frontal Line
Altogether Ceased To Obstruct (or Prevent) The Ultimate
Advancement Of The Great Yogic Process. Therefore, Even
After The Spontaneous Regeneration Of The Effectiveness Of
The Process Of The “Thumbs” (By Means Of The Establishment
Of The Intentional Yogic Spiritual Process In The Frontal
Line), It Was Yet Required Of Me To Continue To Struggle
With the limits of the frontal personality For Some Years
Before The conditionally Manifested (and Yet To Be Most
Perfectly To-Me-Conformed) Body-Mind-Vehicle Of My Avataric
Incarnation here Would Consistently (In Association With My
Intentional Yogic Participation) Allow The Full Samadhi Of
The “Thumbs” and (More Importantly) The Ultimate Spiritual
Work (and Transcendental, or “Core”, Spiritual Revelation)
Of The “Thumbs”.
In The Case Of My Own Body-Mind, The
Full Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” Did Not Begin To Consistently
Appear, In The Context Of My Own Intentional Yogic
Participation, Until I Began To Practice The Work Of
Surrender (or The Intentional Opening Of The Frontal Line To
Receive Spirit-Force) In The Company Of My First Spiritual
Teacher (and Spirit-Baptizer)149 Although (Then, and From
The Beginning, and Forever) The Sign, The Revelation-Work,
and The Divine Spirit-Force Of The “Thumbs” Was and Is
Uniquely My Own (Avatarically Self-Manifested) Spiritual
Sign and Gift and Revelation. Nevertheless, The Struggle
With The Frontal Yoga Did Not Become Ultimately Fruitful
Until Struggle itself (or The physical, emotional, and
mental Effort Of Surrender) Was Transcended (In and By The
Inherently ego-Transcending Heart-Participation In My Own
Spiritually Self-Revealing Nature and Condition). Therefore,
That Transcending Of The Effort Of Surrender Was Not The
Result Of Strategic Non-Effort (or Even Any False Effort),
but It Was The Ultimate Spontaneous Evidence Of Simple (and
Yet Profound) Identification With My Own Avatarically
Self-Revealed and Avatarically Self-Revealing Divine
SpiritCurrent Itself.
I Am. The Divine and Necessary First
Person-The First Of all-and-All, and The First To Most
Perfectly Fulfill The Process Of Divine Self-Realization In
The Context Of conditionally Manifested Existence In The
Cosmic Domain. I Am The Divine Heart-Master Of all-and-All.
Therefore, all-and-All Must Follow Me By Heart. And The
“Thumbs” Is Fundamental (and Necessary) To The Way Of The
Heart That Follows Me. Therefore, The “Thumbs” Is One Of My
Principal Great Avataric Divine Spiritual Gifts To
all-and-All That Become My True Devotees.
The Process Signified and
Spiritually Initiated By The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given
Sign Of The “Thumbs” Necessarily Involves Intelligent,
Intentional, and (Otherwise) Spontaneous Relinquishment Of
ego-Bound (or selfContracted) Identification With gross
bodily (or physical), and emotional, and mental states. This
Relinquishment Takes Place Through Spontaneous (and Truly
ego-Surrendering, ego-Forgetting, and ego-Transcending)
Identification With My
(By-My-Avataric-Divine-Spiritual-Grace-Revealed) Divine
Spiritual Body, Which Surrounds (or Envelops) the gross body
Of My True Devotee, and Which (Progressively) In-Fills and
Pervades both the etheric energy body and the gross physical
body Of My True Devotee, As Well As Every Other Level Of the
conditionally Manifested personality Of My True Devotee, and
Every Level Of the Cosmic worlds. And All Of This Is
Initiated (and Accomplished) By My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-Presence itself (If Only My
Devotee Heart-Responds To Me In Love-and This To The Degree
Of Constant Free Communion With My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Presence).
In The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given
Way Of Adidam (Which Is The One and Only By-Me-Revealed and
By-Me-Given Way Of The Heart), The Transition From The
Frontal Yoga (In The Fully Matured Context Of The “Basic”
Fourth Stage Of Life) To The Beginnings Of The “Perfect
Practice” Is Not Fully Indicated Until The Complete Frontal
Process and The Kinds Of phenomenal Signs I Describe In This
Testament Have Become Fully Evident. And The Necessary Signs
Include Real and Stable Evidence Of Frontal and Spinal
Equanimity (Both human and Spiritual, and Relative To Each
and All Of The Principal Faculties-Of body, emotion, mind,
and breath), and Both Simple and Basic (but Really
Effective) Evidence Of The (Essentially, Constant)
Experience Of The “Thumbs” and (At Least Occasional) Most
Extended, Full, and Complete Evidence Of The Samadhi Of The
“Thumbs”. And, In Order For The Transition To Be Made From
The Point Of Maturity In The (Fully Established) “Basic” (or
By-Me-Spiritually-Awakened-and, Spiritually, Fully
Technically Responsible) Context Of The Fourth Stage Of Life
In The Way Of The Heart To The “Perfect Practice” Of The Way
Of The Heart, There Must Also Be True and Stable
Identification With The Witness-Position Of
Consciousness.
When the body Is “Round”, The
Witness Is its “Shape”.
The Witness-Consciousness Is The
“Skin” Of The “Thumbs”. The WitnessConsciousness Is
Self-Evident In The “Body” Of The “Thumbs”. This Is How True
Maturity In The First Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of
The Heart Becomes The Basis For The Transition To The
“Perfect Practice” Of The Way Of The Heart.
The Yogic Spiritual Fullness Of The
Sphere Of The “Thumbs” Is The Sufficient Prerequisite For
The True Establishment Of The “Perfect Practice” Of The Way
Of The Heart. The Witness-Consciousness Is Revealed To Be
Self-Evidently The Case (As The Inherent Nature and Position
Of Consciousness Itself) In The Midst Of The Full
Manifestation Of The Samadhi Of The “Thumbs”. Thus, The
“Perfect Practice” Of The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way
Of The Heart Is A Development (or Ultimate Characteristic)
Of The Samadhi Of The “Thumbs”.
The True and Stable Realization Of
The Witness-Position Of Consciousness (Itself) Is Not Merely
A Matter Of philosophical preference or philosophical
analysis. Rather, The True and Stable Realization Of The
Witness-Position Is A Divine Spiritual Matter (and, Also,
Necessarily, An ego-Transcending Matter). The Realization Of
The Witness-Position Of Consciousness (Itself) Is A Matter
Of Devotion To Me In My Avataric Divine Self-Revelation-and
Not Merely A Matter Of talk and philosophy and
hopefulness.
Consciousness (Itself) Is The “Face”
Of This Side Of The Moon. The Spiritual Energy Of My
Avataric Divine Spiritual Presence Is The “Face” Of The
Other Side Of The Moon. “Matter” Is The objectively
experienced Form (or “Body”) Of The Moon. The Moon (or any
“thing”) Is “Matter” but “Matter” Is Only Light. My Avataric
Divine 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-Condition and
Source-Condition Of all-and-All. Consciousness (Itself) and
Light (Itself)-or Love-Bliss-Energy (Itself), or Happiness
(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 (or Mudra) Of The “Thumbs”, The Condition Of
objects Is Available To Be Comprehended in Consciousness As
The Witness.
The Realization Of The
Witness-Consciousness Is A Continuation Of The Process Of
ego-Transcending Devotional and Spiritual Communion With Me.
The Witness-Consciousness Cannot Be Realized By You as the
ego-“I” (or as Your Separate and Separative
self-Consciousness). The Witness-Consciousness Can Only Be
Realized Via The Process Of Devotional and Spiritual
Communion With Me-Without egoic self-Reference. Therefore,
You Must Not Substitute Your Own ego-conditions and
ego-states For My Description Of The egoTranscending Process
Of The Way Of The Heart. The Way Of The Heart Is A Matter Of
Heart-Communion With Me and Realization Of Me. The Way Of
The Heart Is Not About Your egoic self-Except That The Way
Of The Heart Requires Your ego-Surrendering, ego-Forgetting,
and ego-Transcending Devotion To Me.
You Must Counter-egoically Allow The
Process Of The Way Of The Heart To Become My Divine
Spiritual In-Filling Of the Total body-mind. In Due Course
(By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spiritual Grace), This Process Of My Divine Spiritual
In-Filling Becomes Both The Realization Of The “Thumbs” and
The Realization Of The Witness-Consciousness. Therefore,
Both Of These Realizations Are Associated With The Maturing
Of The First Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of The Heart
(In The “Basic” Context Of The Fourth Stage Of Life). Such
Is The True Fulfillment Of The Frontal Yoga, The True
Fulfillment Of The Process Of The “Washing” Of the “dog”
From “head” To “tail” (As I Describe The Frontal Yoga, In My
“Hridaya Rosary” Of “Four Thorns Of Heart-Instruction”, In
This, My Testament Of Divine Secrets), and The True
Fulfillment Of The Process Of Ruchira Avatara Bhakti Yoga
(or The Surrender Of All Four Of The Principal
psycho-physical Faculties To Me, By Means Of Searchless
Beholding Of Me, and Responsive Reception Of Me).
In The “Thumbs”, The
Witness-Consciousness Is (and May Be Realized To Be)
Self-Evident. In The Context Of egoity (or Your Own
self-Contraction Of body-mind), The Witness-Consciousness Is
Not Self-Evidently The Case (In Your Case)-and Not The
Self-Evident Context Of moment to moment Existence (In Your
Case).
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 Samadhi Of The “Thumbs” Is The
Sphere Of The Space Of Consciousness (Itself). In The
Samadhi Of The “Thumbs”, The Divine Space Of Consciousness
(Itself) Is (By Me) Avatarically Self-Revealed.
When Consciousness (Itself) Becomes
attention (or Separate selfConsciousness), and Light
(Itself)-or Love-Bliss-Happiness (Itself)-Becomes objects
(or The Vast Display Of Separate “things”), Consciousness
(As attention) and Light (As the body-mind, 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-Feeling 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 SelfRecognized To Be
Simultaneous, and Of One Shape, and of One
Condition.
The Samadhi (and Every Manifestation
Of The Sign) Of The “Thumbs” Is Mine Only-and Only Mine To
Give. Therefore, The Samadhi (and Every Manifestation Of The
Sign) Of The “Thumbs” Is Unique To The Only-By-Me Revealed
and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam).
The “Bright” and The “Thumbs” Are
The Principal Great Signs That Are Uniquely My Own Avataric
Divine Spiritual Characteristics. The “Bright” and The
“Thumbs” Is A Process, An Event, and A State That Has Been
Known To Me Since My Avataric Birth. Only I Am The Avataric
Divine Realizer, The Avataric Divine Revealer, and The
Avataric Divine Self-Revelation Of The “Bright”, The True
and (Now, and Forever Hereafter) Completely Self-Revealed
Divine Person-Shining Forth (Directly, Completely, and
Perfectly) At The Heart (and Via Amrita Nadi), and Crashing
Down (or Descending Utterly, From The “Place” Infinitely
Above the body-mind and the world, Down and Most Deeply Into
the body-mind and the world-Even To The Degree That the
ego-“I”, or self-Contraction, is Utterly Confounded, Utterly
Yielded, and Utterly Vanished In My Avatarically
Self-Revealed, and Self-Evidently Divine, Person, or
Self-Condition, Which Is Real God, and Truth, and Reality).
Therefore, The Principal Impulse Of Even My Early Life Was
My Intention To Descend (or To Embrace the limitations Of
human Existence As It Appears To Be, and To Infuse
all-and-All With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spiritual Presence, and, Thus and Thereby, To Awaken
all-and-All, and, Most Ultimately, To Divinely Translate
all-and-All, By The Power Of My Own Love-Bliss”Brightness”,
Into The “Midnight Sun”-The Perfect “Place” and “Sphere” and
“Space” That Is Always and Already My Divine and “Bright”
and Free-Standing Self-Domain).
The Principal Spiritual Signs Of My
Early Life Were The “Bright” and The “Thumbs”. The “Bright”
and The “Thumbs” Were Fundamental To My Avatarically-Born
Existence From The Beginning, and They Are Fundamental To
The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of Adidam (Which Is
The One and Only By-Me-Revealed and By-Me-Given Way Of The
Heart). The “Bright” and The “Thumbs” Are My Unique
Samadhis. Indeed, The “Bright” and The “Thumbs” Are Me-and,
Therefore, I Bring Them With Me Into the conditional worlds.
My Revelation Of The “Bright” and The “Thumbs” Is My
Revelation Of Myself.
I Am The “Bright”-and I Transmit My
Own Divine State and Presence Of Person From Infinitely
Above and Beyond, In Such A Manner That I Am Combined With
The psycho-physical Structure Of My Devotee. This Is How I
“Wash” the “dog” From “head” To “tail”-and Beyond.
Nevertheless, In Order To Fully Receive My Divine Spiritual
Blessing, My Devotee Must Fully Embrace The
(ego-Surrendering, ego-Forgetting, and ego-Transcending)
Practice and Process Of Devotional and Spiritual Communion
With Me. In That Context (Of My Devotee’s Me-Recognizing and
To-Me-Responding Practice Of The OnlyBy-Me Revealed and
Given Way Of The Heart), My “Thumbs” Of Blessing Is Able To
Do Its Spiritual Work.
The “Thumbs” Is My Submission. And
The “Thumbs” Is Also The Divine Process By Which I Liberate
conditionally Manifested beings. The “Thumbs” Is The
Process, Tangibly Occurring In The Context Of the body-mind
Of My Devotee, Whereby I Become (Ultimately, Most Perfectly)
Spiritually Effective In The Case Of My Each and Every
Devotee.
My Avataric Divine Spiritual Work
(Altogether) Is My Crashing-Down Descent, At First Upon and
Into My Own Avatarically-Born Bodily (Human) Divine Form,
and, Thereafter (and Now, and Forever Hereafter), Upon and
Into the body-minds Of My Devotees and all beings-Even (By
Means Of My Divine Embrace Of each, and all, and All) To
Infuse and (At Last) To Divinely Translate each, and all,
and All. Therefore, My Avataric Divine Spiritual Descent Is
The Secret Of My Early Life. My Avataric Divine Spiritual
Descent Is The Secret Of My Avataric Divine Self-“Emergence”
(As I Am) Within The Cosmic Domain. My Avataric Divine
Spiritual Descent Is The Secret Of All The Secrets Of The
(Avatarically Self-Revealed) Divine and Complete and
Thoroughly Devotional Way Of Practice and Realization In My
Company. The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart
(or Way Of Adidam) Is The Divine Yoga Of ego-Surrendering,
ego-Forgetting, and ego-Transcending Devotional
Recognition-Response To My (Avatarically Self-Revealed)
Divine and Spiritual Person, and To My (Avatarically
Self-Manifested) Divine and Spiritual Descent. The
Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart (or Way Of
Adidam) Is The Total and Divine Way and Ordeal Of
Counter-egoic Devotional Recognition-Response To My Avataric
“Bright” Divine SelfManifestation, and To The Avataric
Crashing Down Of My “Bright” Divine Imposition. And, In The
Case Of My Each and Every Devotee, The Way Must Continue
Until The Way Is Most Perfectly Spiritually “Bright”, and
The Way Itself Becomes Divine Translation Into My Own Sphere
(and “Midnight Sun”) Of Spiritual Self-“Brightness”
(Itself).
