A Beezone study of ‘Klik-Klak’ in
the teaching of Adi Da Samraj The following material in this
study of the term ‘Klik-Klak’, comes from many different
materials (talks, books, etc) by Adi Da, spoken and written
over a number of years. Most of the material is exactly as
he said or wrote it. But there are other parts of this study
that are additions by Beezone. Much of what Beezone has
added has been put in parenthesis (), but not all. So, if
your reading with ‘an exacto knife’ then you will be
disappointed. What follows is Beezone
understanding. You can read (and study) as you wish, but I
firmly believe this to be a very useful tool in
understanding the term ‘Klik-Klak’ and how Adi Da uses
it.
“To mistake our perceptions
(particularly our sensory perceptions) of things for the
thing itself is an unjustifiable assumption about reality.
This is of course reminiscent of Kants warning and all
forms of phenomenalism about the difference between reality
and our perceptions of it. The fallacy of misplaced
concreteness is largely responsible for the modern worlds
and modern sciences denial of the reality of time, of
experience and of mind and the perception. That such
hard core common sense intuitions which we all
utilize in practice (even if we deny them in theory) are
mere illusions. That the world as represented by science is
the real world rather than a partial and
incomplete picture of a world which has aspects and features
which can not be captured by objective observation, sensory
perception or quantified by measurement.” –

My
Revelation and Your Responsibility Avatar Adi Da uses key expression
in His Wisdom-Teaching, Klik-Klak, which He uses to describe
the mass of conditions that are only constantly shifting and
replicating patterns, that never manifest any fixed
objects or entities. He explains
that the fundamental error of the presumed separate self is
the attempt to superimpose the characteristics of
Consciousness Itself onto the Klik-Klak realm. Ultimately,
we must Realize That Which is Always Already the Case, Prior
to the illusion of Klik-Klak. Responsibility
– Changing the Pattern How does the Devotional Prayer of
Changes fit in? The Devotional Prayer of Changes is
associated with sadhana, the disposition to transcend conditional bondage in Communion with Me. The disposition of going beyond makes use of the psycho-physical
mechanism in a different attitude than the one that is simply bound to the pattern as it is now appearing. Klik-klak is just plastic. Mind is subtler than grosser pattern. Mind can affect grosser pattern. The presumptions in mind govern what happens in the grosser. You can by relinquishing
presumptions at the mind level, the deeper level that is governing, what is outward – change the pattern at that subtle level. It is still just pattern patterning. But you can take advantage of klik-klaks own law of shift-replicating, shift – by not using that particular pattern, thought, or presumption. (by) Just letting it go, breathing it away, exhaling (responsibility
participating) (in a greater field) At the mind level, the feeling level, presume a pattern that is as you would have it be in the gross vibratory appearance. You are associating with the realm of patterns at the mind level, prior to their congealing in the gross manner. You are simply playing a trick on klik-klak. You’re making use of klik-klaks own law of replication. Subtle moves towards gross. It’s not that you’ve found paradise. (some secret power) It’s that you’ve found out something about klik-klak by Revelation, of course, because I am telling you this. But it is about this “consideration” of Consciousness and of Happiness. (not because you get what you want by seeking). In the process, certain things are
discovered, or may be Revealed to you. So what I am Revealing to you is a total Way. It includes the Devotional Prayer of
Changes, and all kinds of other
things, whereby you will – through the responsible exercise of all aspects of the body-mind, including discriminative
intelligence and will, governed by heart-disposition in devotion to Me – be purified, and (ultimately) understand, and feel beyond, the bondage of conditional existence. This can be done through this metaphor of the Pleasure Dome – establishing the Yoga, Yogic conditions of Communion with Me moment to moment, whatever the conditions may be. So it is the capability to exercise such Siddhi in the Enlightened
Disposition that is the import of
this. It is not an ability to “take over the world” “Suddenly I discovered I was
klik-klak! And I’m back! Bigger than ever, folks! You’ve got a God now!” That is not Me. That is klik-klak. The one you always
imagine when you get religious, the one you always think must exist – that’s klik-klak! Because that is the one who (you would like) is in charge of the
world, who creates the world. He is everything about the
world, and justifying and blessing the world as world in and of itself for its own sake, somehow, as long as it serves a purpose in the pattern on into the
future. Utopia. Attention
Makes the Difference The God of klik-klak and the God of the Prior Condition,
of Consciousness. It is actually attention Attention makes the difference and differences. You become what you meditate on, what you’ve invested with your presence of being, and the characteristics that are inherent only in your own position. So you in effect worship everything to which you grant your attention. you worship what you give maximum attention to. What are the outstanding
uses of your attention? You are effectively worshipping
that, or meditating on it, holding it steady, holding yourself steady in that condition, disposition, relationship, whatever it is. Discrimination, heart-disposition – faculties that reflect the Beyond Disposition and that ultimately are used to serve the Realization of the Beyond Position – are means for this going beyond klik-klak. Pleasure-Dome creativity or manifestation ultimately becomes the base, or asana, of “moving” into the Perfect Disposition. My
Revelation and Your Responsibility I have told you all of this total process. Ultimately, you can enter into the Domain of practice that is about Realizing That Which Is Prior to the illusions of conditional existence. I have shown you not only how this can be transcended, to be Divinely Realized, but I have also pointed out to you that in all this meantime, That Which Is Always Already the Case Is Always Already the Case. Notice No matter what’s arising, you are basically the Witness. This is still the Case, even while there is involvement in klik-klak. That Which is Always Already the Case is still Always Already the Case. The Truth is Always Already the Case. Consciousness Always Already Is. Why aren’t you then simply living that? (I’ll tell you why) You are enmeshed in klik-klak-land. and There is a way beyond it. (But while you’re) in the midst of it, you can’t just “go out the door”. (and get out while you’re alive) You have to Realize What Is Beyond this (Klik-Klak) by a process that is, at the moment, enacted in the context of what was your bondage. (your karma) You have to process out of your bondage, You can’t just simply think your way out of it, or have a lecture magically relieves you. It requires a lifetime of reorientation, surrender, Communion, and Grace. If you observe, understand, establish the disciplines that “trick” klik-klak that enable you to maintain the zone of transcendence and Yoga -then klik-klak is used to your
advantage, so to speak. But it’s a constant art. End of Part Two – Go to
