The Reality-Practice (pages 1013 – 1024)
The Reality-Practice
1.
Except for Reality Itself, everything is a process of
self-replication, or universal reproduction and
beginningless and endless repetition.
Reality Itself Is the Acausal Mirror (or Perfect
Reflector) of all-and-All.
All apparent objects are merely Reflected
(and not otherwise caused) in the Acausal Mirror
That Is Reality Itself.
All apparent objects are mere
reflectionslike a watery mirage.
Apparent objectsincluding every
thing, world, separate
body-mind-self, living entity, mode of
attention, and point of vieware not
Reality Itself, and are neither necessary nor binding, and
are merely apparent, conditionally arising, temporary,
non-Ultimate, and not It.
The body-mind-self is like a photographic
cameraa point-of-view-machine, present to
replicate the object in view.
The body-mind-self constantly makes
facsimiles, of objects that are either perceived
or imagined.
Behind the body-mind-complex is a Perfect Reflector, an
Acausal Mirror, Always Already Perfectly Prior to
ego-I, attention, point of view,
object, reflection, replication, and
facsimile.
The body-mind-complex itself is a
facsimile-machineconstantly replicating, reproducing,
and repeating apparently perceived and otherwise imagined
objects.
The principal object that is constantly
replicated, reproduced, and repeated in, as, and by means of
the body-mind-complex is the self-imagined
ego-idea, or the illusion of a separate
self.
The (apparently objectified)
world is reflection, replication, reproduction,
and repetition.
The Intrinsic Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State
of the world Is Reality Itselfor
Indivisible Conscious Light.
The One and Only Indivisible Conscious Light Is
Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, Perfectly Prior, Intrinsically
egoless, Non-separate, Non-conditional, Perfectly
Non-objective, and of an Irreducibly Acausal
Nature.
All reflected objects arise, self-replicate,
reproduce, and repeat.
The Self-Reality of Acausal Conscious Light Merely and
Always Already Is As Such.
2.
It is only in the imagination that
ego-in-the-world exists. The separate
self is simply a thing presumed and
entertained in mind. Ego is an imagined
objectified persona. The self-image
(and the entire drama) of ego is something conceived and
believed in mind only, including the minds of apparent
others who are likewise imagining.
Therefore, the life of the separate self is
literally an illusionbut the ego-based human being
constantly lives in that illusion, constantly re-imagines
that illusion, and constantly furthers that illusion in
imagination, supported by desire-energy. The mutual
association between human beings is association between
imagining mindsre-imagining one another, and being
imagined by one anothereach so-called
individual perpetually re-imagining itself
through mental reflections.
The Reality of existence is something else entirely. The
Actual Situationthe True Self-Nature, Self-Condition,
and Self-StateIs Perfectly Prior, Non-separate,
Indivisible, Self-Existing, and Self- Radiant. That Is the
Real Condition. That Real Condition Is Self-Evidentand
That Real Condition can be Intrinsically and intuitively
Self-Located. The Realization of That Real
Condition is a Transcendental Spiritual matterbut the
Nature of Reality, the Real Nature of existence, can, in any
moment, be intuitively noticed by anyone.
The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam Is the Real living process
of transcending imaginationtranscending the imagining
of separate-self-existence and the mutual
re-imagining of separate-self-existence. Every
apparent individual Really Exists As the Perfectly Prior
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State, or the
Reality-Condition. The imagined separate
knowing-self is a merely apparent
known-object (and the otherwise mere
shadow of a conditional appearance),
superimposed on the Perfectly Prior and Inherent
Reality-Condition. The imagined ego-life is, thus,
played on the Perfectly Prior Self-Base of
Intrinsically egoless Conscious Light, like a reflection in
a mirror.
The practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is
about transcending the imagined separate self,
or the self-imagining and
other-imagining and world-imagining
activity of egoity. Fundamentally, the Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is a process of being
Attracted (by Me) Beyond such imagining, Beyond the ideas of
self and other and world
that are imagined (or proposed) in mind only.
Attraction beyond the ego-process (of
self-imagining and other-imagining
and world-imagining) is whole bodily devotional
turning to Me (on the basis of the devotional
recognition-response to Me). When devotional
recognition-response to Me becomes profound, and (on that
basis) whole bodily turning to Me (beyond
self-contraction, and beyond the contents of the
psycho-physically happening imagination) becomes profound,
then there is searchless Beholding of Me. Searchless
Beholding of Me is true surrender to Me. Searchless
Beholding of Me happens by means of the (whole bodily)
ego-forgetting turning to Me, not by means of working
on the ego-self. In that real (whole
bodily) turning to Me, the presumed
separate-self-activity is transcended.
Thus, devotional turning to Me is not a merely
superficial gesture. Rather, devotional turning to Me is a
profundity that is moved beyond imaginationbeyond the
construct of separateness that is constantly being
manufactured, as if in a mirror. By means of devotional
turning to Me, I am (in due course) Transcendentally
Spiritually Located. In the searchless Beholding
of Me, I am Transcendentally Spiritually Known.
Even the entire body is Transcendentally Spiritually Invaded
by Meand the Perfect Knowledge I have
Described is Realized Intrinsically, by Transcendental
Spiritual Means alone, As the Transcendental Spiritual State
of Reality Itself. Such is the nature of right and true
practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam.
The daily course of ego-bound human beings is a drama
lived through the efforts of imagination in mind (or lived
as a psycho- physical construct rooted in mind).
Thus, the drama of separate selves is played out
on the basis of mind. However, when Realization of Me is
most profound, there is Always Already no mind, no
attention, no body, no egoic self-identification
with any psycho-physical constructs, no ego, no separate
self, no knowing-subject. There Is
Only Self-Evident Reality Itself, Which Is Tran-scendental
and Inherently Spiritual in Nature. Reality Itself has no
conditional content whatsoever. Reality Itself Is the
Brightor the Self-Existing and
Self-Radiant Current of Conscious LightWhich Is
Self-Evidently Divine. Reality Itself Is simply the
Condition That Is Always Already The Case.
The ego-construct, or the imagined self, is
not Always Already The Case. The ego-construct is like
something noticed in a mirror. The ego-construct is an
apparent objectification of separate
knowing-self, on the surface (so to
speak) of the Mirror of Conscious Light.
3.
Those who truly practice the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam
are constantly transcending the imagined drama of daily life
and egoity. That process allows the profound release of
egoic bondage. Therefore, those who truly practice the
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam freely
and inevitably (on the basis of the always Perfectly Prior
transcending of egoity itself) show the evidence of
life-transformationbodily, emotional, and mental
transformations, changes, and re-formationsor a
process of the rightening of the whole body. This rightening
occurs Acausallyon the Basis of That Which Is
Perfectly Prior and Indivisible. That Which is
Transcendentally Spiritually Transmitted As My Very and
Self-Evidently Divine State Is Indivisible and
all-and-All-Liberating. Thus I (Acausally, or by Means of My
Mere Presence) Vanish the ego-patterning of My devotee.
A devotee of Mine who is exemplary in his or her practice
is exemplary by virtue of demonstrations of physical,
emotional, and mental life-rightening, and by virtue of
demonstrations of the Transcendental Spiritual evidence of
My Transcendental Spiritual Invasion of his or her bodily
person and life. Therefore, the psycho-physical evidence and
the Transcendental Spiritual evidence (a dimension of which
shows itself through signs of Transcendental Spiritual
Invasion of the psycho-physical structure) are the two
fundamental characteristics that indicate whether a devotee
of Mine is right with Me and exemplary in practice.
My devotees must fit themselves to right devotion to Me,
and go through the living ordeal of right
practicemoment to moment, and day by day. The process
of life-rightening is an ordeal of shedding the ego-pattern,
or the imagined persona. Therefore, that process of
life-rightening is, necessarily, a process of renunciation.
The patterns of egoity are built into the body-mind-complex
as psycho-physical tendencies. Therefore, those patterns do
not disappear merely because you come up with a notion about
changing them. The life-rightening process must be
profoundly engaged and persisted in, so that real turning
away from, and real shedding of, ego-patterning occurs. That
is a fundamental aspect of the Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradamthe ordeal
aspect.
The other profound aspect of the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam
is of a Transcendental Spiritual naturenot merely a
philosophical process, or a process in mind, but (rather) a
process that intrinsically transcends mind (and even all of
the body-mind-self). The Transcendental
Spiritual process of the Radical Reality-Way of
Adidam Ruchiradam is not what would otherwise be called an
ordeal. The Transcendental Spiritual process of
the Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is
simply a profundity of Divine Gifts. The Transcendental
Spiritual process of the Radical Reality-Way of
Adidam Ruchiradam is a profound process of the Awakening and
the demonstration of Perfect Knowledge Itself.
Nevertheless, that process must occur in the field of the
life of My devotee.
Therefore, My devotees who Know Me most
profoundly are those who embrace the necessary ordeal of
practice most profoundly. Their disposition, moment to
moment, is one of turning to Me and Communing with Me,
rather than merely being distracted by, and preoccupied
with, the imaginary ego-life, the drama of ego-life, the
idea of the separate self being played out like
a cartoon in the psycho-physical mirroring of Reality
Itself.
My devotee is turned to Reality Itselfnot merely to
the constantly imagined drama of separate self,
enacted in the forms of body-mind. The turning from
psycho-physical ego-patterning to Meby Means of
Communion with My Very and Self-Evidently Divine
Stateis what makes the practice of the only-by-Me
Revealed and Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam a true ego-transcending practice (or ordeal).
That is the renunciate aspect of the Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam. That
is what allows the Locating and
Knowing of My Transcendental Spiritual Invasion
to Purify, Transform, and Perfectly Awaken My devotee.
Therefore, My devotees are Called (by Me) to a profound
life of practice, in which there is profound
self-understanding relative to the habits and
patterns of ego-life that are otherwise imposed on
Consciousness Itself. My most profoundly practicing (or
mature) devotees are rooted in the
Transcendental Spiritual Current of Reality Itself, Which is
Avatarically Self-Transmitted by Me and As Me. My such
devotees continue to function (in the apparent sense) in the
mirrored world, but without being bound to it
through uninspected imagination. The merely patterned life
is not the basis for the day to day or moment to moment
existence of My rightly practicing devotees. Rather, Reality
Itself Is the Context of the apparent life for My truly and
rightly practicing devoteesand, most especially, for
those who are entered into true Transcendental Spiritual
Communion with Me as a moment to moment life-practice.

I Appear here in psycho-physical Formbut My
Self-Confession and Self-Revelation to you is that there is
no separate self associated with This apparent
Body of Mine. This Body of Mine is not thinking, is not
present in the form of attention, is not associated with a
separate consciousness. My Own Bright Divine
StateThus Exemplified, even in apparent Coincidence
with physical existenceis a Demonstration and a
Revelation to My devotees (and to all beings) about the
Nature of Reality Itself, and how Reality Itself Appears
when It is Coincident with what is otherwise ordinary
psycho-physical human existence.
My Bodily Incarnation here is to Provide the Avataric
Agent for Divine Self-Emergence and Divine
Self-Revelationand, on That Basis, to Provide the
ongoing focus for My devotees, such that My Transcendental
Spiritual Self-Transmission can be Perpetuated in this
world. Therefore, This Body, photographed (and
otherwise recorded) during My Divine Avataric physical human
Lifetime, Provides the Image (or
Me-Representation) for the focus of the
faculties in My devoteesboth while I am physically
Alive and after My Divine Avataric physical human Lifetime.
My Divinely-Avatarically-Born bodily (human) Divine Form Is
a Forever Revelationbut It is not an
object. If you devotionally recognize Me, you
Know Me As I Amnot as an
object, not through appearances, not as an
other, or (even) the Other.
Therefore, you transcend all of the imagining of the
separate-self-objectthe
I-object that is the basis of the moment to
moment life of ego-imaginingby whole bodily turning to
Me and devotionally recognizing Me As I Am.
Devotees approach Me through Invocation of Me by Name and
through regard of My Divinely-Avatarically-Born bodily
(human) Divine Form (whether directly or in My
Representation-Form). If they do not approach Me
rightly, they are approaching Me as an objective
other. In that case, I am a known-object
to themjust as the persona of separate
knowing-self is, for them, a
known-object, or an objectification
associated with attention. If attention were not associated
with the presumed psycho-physical constructthe
objectified self, the mirrored
self-ideathere would only be the
Self-Evident Reality of Indivisible Conscious Light
Itself.
Therefore, in their turning to Me, My devotees are turned
away from all the patterning of the faculties, which govern
life through egoic identification with an imagined persona
of separate self. However, in their turning to
Me, My devotees are not merely turning to an
object, or to an objective other.
Rather, My devotees turning to Me is the means whereby
the contents of the reflected (or knowing)
self are forgotten. In that turning to Me, there
is the intrinsic entering into My Bright Divine
Self-Conditionand that entering into My Condition is
profoundly Established by My Tran-scendental Spiritual
Self-Transmission of My Bright Divine State.
Therefore, the fullness of the process of the only-by-Me
Revealed and Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam is beyond the Second Congregation beginnings of
the fundamental practice of devotion to Me, and beyond the
Second Congregation base-adaptation to the functional,
practical, relational, and cultural right-life disciplines,
and even beyond the devotionally full and right-life-true
First Congregation student-beginner base-adaptation to the
preliminary Perfect Knowledge Listening-practice
of Transcendental Root-Standing. The fully
established practice of the Radical Reality-Way
of Adidam Ruchiradam is a Transcendental Spiritual matter,
in intrinsically ego-transcending
whole-bodily-recognition-responsive and
right-life-demonstrated devotional Communion with Me, and
lived in full accordance with all My Instructions on how to
steadily maintain intrinsically ego-transcending
Transcendental Spiritual Communion with Me.
Therefore, the fully established practice of the
only-by-Me Revealed and Given Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is not merely about
receiving something Spiritually in the midst of your
ego-based imagined life. Rather, the fully established
practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is a
matter of uninterruptedly turning away from the imagined
ego-object and steadily onwardly turning to Me.
In that turning to Me, My devotee not only forgets the
ego-object (or the objectified self
and its drama), but enters egolessly into My
Bright Divine State.
If I am related to merely as an objective
other, there is no entering into My Bright
Divine State. In that case, there is simply the turning
toward some objective appearance. Therefore, My
devotee must not turn to Me merely as an
objective form. My Image (or
Me-Representation) is not merely a
thing in your Communion Hall. I am not merely an
imagined or remembered or memorized or however
mentally-objectified appearance. All the
apparently objective sacred Means I have
Givenincluding Simple Name-Invocation of Me, and the
Beholding of My Representation-Formare
simply Means for turning from the imagined (or
objectified) ego-I and its drama,
and turning to Me, and (thereby) entering into My
Bright Divine State, the Field of My
Transcendentally Spiritually Self-Transmitted Perfectly
Prior Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State. In the
process of truly profoundly engaging this by-Me-Given
practice, the ego-pattern is releasedand replaced by
true renunciation. On the basis of this profundity of
practice and renunciation (altogether), there is the
Realization of Transcendentally Spiritually Awakened
Conscious Existence in the Inherent (or Perfectly Prior and
Acausal) Form of Reality Itself.

The social interactions between people are,
fundamentally, ego-basedego-bound and ego-binding.
Those interactions are about the mutual exercise of habits
of imaginationthe imagining of the
objectified ego-life, the life of separate
entities (or separate beings). However, the life of
separateness is simply not truebecause it is not (in
and of itself) Real. In Reality Itself, the life of
separateness is merely a reflected and
self-imagined object. All the while,
and Always Already, There Is the Self-Existing and
Self-Radiant Indivisible Conscious Light. Conscious Light Is
Alland all-and-All. My true devotees are established
in Thatand, then, the reflected world, or
the apparently objectified (or conditionally
apparent) world, has an entirely different
characteristic than that which is presumed on the
ego-basis.
When the world is seen in Reality, life is a
very different matter than it is when the world
is seen from point of viewor
objectified, as in a mirror.
My true devotees are entered into (and, in due course,
Perfectly Identified with) the Self-Position of the
Mirrorrather than being engaged merely in
playing among the reflections, as if the
reflections (rather than the Mirror Itself) were Reality
Itself. This entering (and, in due course, Perfect
Identification) is not merely a philosophical
exercisebut it is a matter of right, true, and
consistent Reality-Practice.
The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam Is the Reality-Way of
Transcendental Spiritualityor, in other words, the
Reality-Way of Intrinsically ego-Transcending Spirituality.
The Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is
not merely a technique engaged by egosor
psycho-physically objectified presumed
points of view that move about and interact. The
Transcendental Spirituality of the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam
is Self-Located (by Means of My Divine Avataric
Transcendental Spiritual Grace) As a Profundity of the
Intrinsic Prior State, based upon the devotional practice of
turning beyond the ego-self (and the apparently
objectified, or mirrored, contents of the
presumed-to-be-separate entity).
The profundity of devotion to Meassociated with,
and expressed in, the range of functional, practical,
relational, and cultural disciplines that are required from
the very beginning of practice in the Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradamis essential to the
preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledge. When all of that is matured to the point of
constancy and essential psycho-physical equanimity,
coincident with the preliminary Listening-practice of
Perfect Knowledge, then there is the entering
into the profundity of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, which
is searchless Beholding of Me and ego-transcending
Transcendental Spiritual Communion with Me. In that case,
the preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledge becomes a Transcendental Spiritual
Revelation. Then Perfect Knowledge is
Transcendentally Spiritually Transmitted (by Means of My
Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Grace) As the State
of Reality Itself.
The fundamental exercise of the Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam (Which Is the Reality-Way
of Perfect Knowledge) is whole bodily (and truly
ego-forgetting) turning to Me. On that basis, the moment to
moment preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledge becomes appropriate, but only in the context
of the devotional turning to Me, which (in due course)
becomes searchless Beholding of Me. Therefore, Perfect
Knowledge Itself is Demonstrated by My Transcendental
Spiritual Self-Transmission of My Bright Divine
State to My ego-forgetting devotee. Then I am tangibly
Located. I Invade, or Crash Down
upon, the bodily apparent entity of My devotee, and That
In-Filling Manifests As the Self-Evidence of Reality
Itself.
The Perfect Knowledge of Reality Itself is
not merely a philosophical matter. The Perfect
Knowledge of Reality Itself is not merely about
inversion upon the Consciousness Principle (in the sixth
stage manner). Rather, the Perfect Knowledge of
Reality Itself is about Establishment of the Perfectly Prior
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality
Itself, by Means of the Transcendental Spiritual
Self-Transmission of Reality Itself.
When My devotees fully and rightly approach Me, on the
basis of the searchless Beholding of Me, and actually
Locate Me and Know Me
Transcendentally Spiritually via (and also Perfectly Prior
to) the whole body, then they will understand that What I am
Saying Is Truth. They will have the exact and Inherently
Irrefutable Evidence, because they will comprehend the
precise distinction between merely philosophical (and,
necessarily, ego-based) notions of Perfect
Knowledge and the Transcendental Spiritual
Self-Evidence of Perfect Knowledge. The
Transcendental Spiritual Self-Evidence of Perfect
Knowledge Is the Inherently Irrefutable Transcendental
Spiritual Self-Evidence of Reality Itselfand not
merely a subjectively idealized mode of the
interior of apparent psycho-physical awareness.
My Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission Proves,
Gives, and Demonstrates Perfect Knowledge as a
Transcendental Spiritual FactPerfectly Prior to all
conditionality, and Perfectly Prior to egoity. Therefore, in
due course, My Transcendental Spiritual Transmission of the
Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State Awakens
the Perfect Practice of the Reality-Way of
Perfect Knowledge. The Perfect
Practice is Awakened by Transcendental Spiritual Means
alonebut that Awakening to the Perfect
Practice of the Reality-Way of Perfect
Knowledge is also associated with the life-rightening
process of functional, practical, relational, and cultural
disciplines, coincident with the fullness of whole bodily
devotional turning to Me, and (also) with the
conscious process of the preliminary
Listening-practice of Perfect Knowledge, and
(indeed) with all the Means I have Given as an art of
ego-renouncing life-practice. Nevertheless, the Event and
Process of Realization is entirely of a Transcendental
Spiritual NaturePerfectly Prior to all conditionality,
and all ego-effort, and all imagined separateness.
Perfect Knowledge Itself, and the
Perfect Practice of It, coincides with perfect
renunciation (or the perfect transcending of egoity). That
is the responsibility of My devotee. If My devotee is thus
responsible, then My devotee is available to the Most
Perfect Realization of My Transcendentally Spiritually
Transmitted (and Self-Bright) Divine State.
