VI
THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE PRELIMINARY
LISTENING-PRACTICE OF PERFECT KNOWLEDGE AND THE PERFECT
PRACTICE OF PERFECT KNOWLEDGE
The Distinction Between The Preliminary
Listening-Practice
of Perfect Knowledge and The Perfect Practice of Perfect
Knowledge
My Teaching-Instruction has always been as It is now: the
present-time transcending of egoity itself and of
seekingthrough whole bodily devotional
recognition-response to Me, whole bodily devotional turning
to Me, and radical (or always
at-the-root) self-understanding.
There is a basic ground of necessary preparation associated
with everything that must precede the Perfect
Practicebut the preparatory dimension of the
total practice is not, in and of itself, to become forever
prolonged, such that what is merely preparatory becomes a
separate and never-ending way of life.
From the beginning, My Divine Avataric Reality-Teaching
has always been a Radical Teaching. I have
always referred to My Divine Avataric Reality-Teaching as
Radicalmeaning that It addresses the
root of egoity itself, rather than
exploiting and conditionally developing the psycho-physical
phenomena associated with the permutations of egoic
possibility (gross, subtle, and causal).
Devotional recognition-response to Me is not merely
conventional (or nominal) devotionalism. To devotionally
recognize Me and devotionally respond to Me is to have come
into the Intrinsic Feeling-Apprehension of My Intrinsically
egoless and Self-Evidently Divine State. To devotionally
recognize Me is to Find Me As My State. To devotionally
respond to Me is to turn to Me As My State, and to
devotionally Commune with Me through sensitivity to My
Avatarically Self-Transmitted Transcendental Spiritual (and
Always Blessing) Divine Presence. By Means of simply
Sighting Me, one who devotionally recognizes Me and
devotionally responds to Me is, thus and thereby, turned to
Me by Means of Intrinsic Feeling-Apprehension of My Divine
Avataric Self-Transmission of My Intrinsically egoless
Self-Bright State.
My Divine Avataric Gift to all deals with the
root-problem of egoity itself, and the entire
pattern of experiencing and living based on
seeking (which pattern develops from that very
root of self-contraction). This is
not something that is supposed to take decadesor even
your entire lifeto figure out. The only-by-Me Revealed
and Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam is not a matter of interviewing the
ego forever, and (on that basis) merely making
piecemeal adjustments in behavior. Rather, the only-by-Me
Revealed and Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam Is a Radical Teaching, and a
radical process, founded in radical
devotion to Me. That radical process cuts
through the root of egoityand, thus, cuts
down the entire tree of egoity, at the
rooteven from the beginning of the
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, and by
Means of whole bodily devotional recognition-response to
Me.
Even in the midst of My many Years of Self-Submission to
My devotees and the world, I always Communicated
My Radical Reality-Teachingand I always
Manifested My Self-Bright (seventh stage) State
of Realizationin the eyes of everyone. However, the
dialogue of My Years of Self-Submission
isnow, and forever hereafterended. My Divine
Avataric Self-Submission is Finished and Complete. My
Reality-Teaching, in all Its detail, is Fully and Completely
Given.
If you devotionally recognize Me and devotionally respond
to Me, you are (thereby) moved beyond the patterning of the
psycho-physical faculties, to Meto My Intrinsically
egoless and Self-Evidently Divine State, My Self-Evidently
Divine Person. Thus, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam Is
radicalin the devotional sensefrom
the beginning.
Devotion to Me is not conventional devotionalismin
the sense of the first three stages of life, or even in the
sense of the fourth stage of life. Devotion to Me is
radical devotion, enacted through devotional
recognition-response to Meturning the four
psycho-physical faculties to Me, and ignoring all the
contents and patterning of ego-I.
Radical devotion to Me is, itself, the seed
of most fundamental self-understanding. If such
radical devotion to Me is the case, most
fundamental self-understanding will be readily
awakenedbecause self-understanding is
already established as the circumstance of your practice of
the Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam,
through devotional recognition-response to Me (or persistent
devotion to Me, based on devotional recognition of Me).
True devotional recognition of Me is devotional Communion
with Me As I Am. Merely to perceive Me as a physical Entity,
and to be (thereby) moved to respond to Me in some
conventionally devotionalistic sense, is not true devotional
recognition of Me. When you truly devotionally recognize Me,
your devotional (and, in due course, Transcendental
Spiritual) relationship to Me cuts through the
root of egoity. Such is the radical
devotional (and, in due course, Transcendental Spiritual)
relationship to Me. And, by cutting through the
root of egoity, the radical
devotional (and, in due course, Transcendental Spiritual)
relationship to Me leads directly (and in due course) to the
only-by-Me Revealed and Given Perfect Practice
of the Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam.
Thus, the lifetime of My devotee is not to be a lifetime
of correcting the ego. Nor is the lifetime of My
devotee to be a lifetime of developing the psycho-physical
potential of the ego (or the psycho-physically incarnated
apparent individual, or apparently separate person). Rather,
the lifetime of My devotee is to be a lifetime of
transcending the ego.
This radical-from-the-beginning
characteristic of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is
given concrete and unambiguous expression by My Divine
Avataric Gift of the preliminary Perfect
Knowledge Listening-practice to all My First
Congregation devotees (who have, necessarily, demonstrated
and proven their right, true, and real devotion to Me). This
Radical Gift of Mine does not eliminate the
requirement for devotional turning to Me, or for the
exercise of all the by-Me-Given forms of
self-discipline, or (altogether) for the
demonstration of all the by-Me-Given modes of practice of
the Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam.
Rather, the right and true context of your practice of the
only-by-Me Revealed and Given Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is your devotional (and, in
due course, Transcendental Spiritual) recognition of Me, and
your participation in the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
radical approach to the transcending of egoity.
That radical approach is (itself)
directnot progressive. Therefore, that
radical approach is always effectivein the
perfect sensemoment to moment. Nevertheless, that
radical approach requires (and makes possible) a
demonstration that matures (by means of the preliminary
Listening-practice) toward the (eventual) Non-conditional
Demonstration of the Perfect Practice of the
Reality-Way of Perfect Knowledge.
The preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledge is a Teaching That I have Given at the
End-Time of My Years of Teaching-Submission.
That preliminary Listening-practice is usable, in the
fullest sense, only by those who devotionally recognize Me
(As I Am), who are devotionally turned to Me (As I Am), and
who (thereby) have the ego under-cut by Communing with Me,
moment to moment. Such is the most fundamental secret of
practice in My Divine Avataric Company: Practice of the
only-by-Me Revealed and Given Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is not a
technique, but a relationship. That practice is
devotion to Me (As I Am)necessarily associated with
the exercise of the Reality-Way of Perfect
Knowledge (at first, in a preliminary sense, and,
ultimately, in the Perfect Practice sense). All
other aspects of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam are
simply the fullness of the practice as it is lived, day by
daysuch that the entire life (and the whole body) of
My devotee is conformed to Me and this Perfect
Knowledge life.
The preliminary Perfect Knowledge
Listening-practice is not a something to be
exercised in and of itself (independent of the devotional
relationship to Me). My devotees must understand: The
preliminary Perfect Knowledge Listening-practice
can be rightly (and fruitfully) exercised only in the
context of the (necessarily, formally acknowledged)
devotional relationship to Me. Thus, the fundamental
characteristics of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam are,
altogether, the devotional recognition-response to Me, the
devotional (whole bodily) turning to Me of the four
principal faculties (to the degree of true surrender to Me),
the exercise of the by-Me-Given disciplines of right life,
and the exercise of the preliminary form of the Reality-Way
of Perfect Knowledge (until, in due course, that
preliminary form becomes the Ultimate, and Non-conditional,
Perfect Practice of the Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam).
The Ultimate, and Non-conditional, Perfect
Practice of the Radical Reality-Way of
Adidam Ruchiradam occurs in due course. Until then, the
preliminary form of the Reality-Way of Perfect
Knowledge is to be practiced by all My formally
acknowledged First Congregation devotees, from the time of
their formal sacramental Initiation into that practice of
the Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradamand that preliminary form of the Reality-Way
of Perfect Knowledge is to be continued, by all
members of the Forward Lay Congregationist Order of Adidam
Ruchiradam and all novice participants in the Lay Renunciate
Order of Adidam Ruchiradam and the Ruchira Sannyasin Order
of Adidam Ruchiradam, who are, as such, My formally
acknowledged First Congregation devotees.
I do not changebut My devotee must go through a
process.
Devotion to Me, and the exercise of Perfect
Knowledgethat is the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam.
All other aspects of My Instruction in the practice of the
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam
(including My Instruction in the necessary disciplines of
right life) are the necessary elaboration of the culture of
that practice.
The devotional (and, in due course, Transcendental
Spiritual) relationship to Me is Transmitted by virtue of My
Self-Evidently Divine Person, My Self-Evidently Divine
State, and My Self-Bright Self-Transmission
(Which Is Transcendental Spiritual in Nature). My
Self-Bright Self-Transmission Is What Brings
About the Ultimate Fulfillment of the only-by-Me Revealed
and Given Reality-Way of Perfect
Knowledgein the form of the Non-conditional (or
Perfect Practice) Demonstration of Perfect
Knowledge. Nevertheless, the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam
does not become the Reality-Way of Perfect
Knowledge. Rather, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam Is the
Reality-Way of Perfect Knowledge from the
beginningnot as a mere philosophy, or as a mere
self-applied technique, but as the
right and true and real devotional (and, in due course,
Transcendental Spiritual) relationship to Me.
The Reality-Way of Perfect Knowledge is not
about the developmental stages of life (in and of
themselves). Rather, the Reality-Way of Perfect
Knowledge Is a Free Way, about the Free Reali-zation
of Reality Itself (Which Is Self-Evidently Divine).
Therefore, the Reality-Way of Perfect Knowledge
(Which Is the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam) Is an
Intrinsically ego-transcending Wayfrom Its
beginning.
In every moment of true devotional turning to Me, the
practice of the Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam is non-egoic (or Intrinsically ego-transcending,
rather than making egoic psycho-physical structures
themselves the means of practice). Therefore, from the
beginning, right devotionally Me-recognizing and
devotionally to-Me-responding practice of the only-by-Me
Revealed and only-by-Me Given Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam always intrinsically
transcends self-contraction, and all bondage to
the accumulations (in and as and of the
body-mind-self) that occur as a result of
psycho-physical self-contraction (or the act of
egoity). The true devotional turning to Me goes beyond all
of that. Thus, there is the spontaneous unfolding of the
signs of the release of ego-bondage during the entire course
of preliminary Listening-practice (maturing, in due course,
into the demonstration that establishes the Perfect
Practice). Nevertheless, the experiential
signs of the release of ego-bondage are not themselves the
point of the preliminary Listening-practice of the
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam.
The practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is not
a matter of doing something to (intentionally, or
strategically) stand back. You are Always
Already in the Perfectly Prior Position, in and As Which you
engage the right preliminary Listening-practice of
Perfect Knowledge. It is not that you must do
something to what is objective, or to what takes
the form of the known, or of
knowledge, or of the
knowing-subject. In the context of its arising,
there is the noticing of object, or of the
known, or of the apparent knowledge,
or of the apparent knowing-subjectbut you
are the Perfect Knower (Transcendentally, and
Inherently, Free). Therefore, you are never any
known-object or any mode of the
knowing-subject in the context of any and all
apparent arisings.
Therefore, you do notif you are rightly exercising
the preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledgemake any effort or gesture to
stand back (or to step back). In
other words, you are not Called by Me to continuously make a
gesture that somehow changes the Perfectly Prior Position in
and As Which you Always Already Stand. I do not Call or
Instruct you to return to the Position in Which
you Always Already Stand. I simply Call and Instruct you to
acknowledge and Abide in the Always Perfectly Prior Position
in Which you Always Already Stand.
Thus, moment to moment, simply Stand in the Position you
are Always Already inby clearly Knowing
(or Intrinsically Self-Comprehending) that you are not in
any position (or conditional state) other than
That.
You are not an object. You are not anything
known. You are not any kind of
knowing (or knowledge). You are not
any mode or kind of a knowing-subject. You are
Always Already in the Position of That Which is not an
object. You are Always Already in the
Self-Position of the Perfect Knowerbut
that Perfect Knower is not the apparently
separate self (or ego-I) that is
functioning-as-knower-through-the-faculties. The
merely conditional knower is knowing
the knownand is (thus and thereby)
identical to the knowing-function and the
apparent knowledge. The Transcendental Spiritual
Perfect Knower is not any of that. The
Transcendental Spiritual Perfect Knower is not a
known-object and not a
knowing-subject.
Therefore, the preliminary Listening-practice of
Perfect Knowledge is not merely a philosophical
proposition. Rather, the preliminary Listening-practice of
Perfect Knowledge is the Tacit Self-Apprehension
(or the Intuitive Self-Apperception), moment to moment, of
That Which otherwise seems to take the form of
objects, or the known, or the
knowledge, or the psycho-physical faculty (or
presumed knowing-self) of the
knowing of the knowledge. All of
that is objective. All of that is mere
objectbut the Transcendental Spiritual
Perfect Knower Is Always Already Perfectly Prior
to any and every mode of known-object and any
and every mode of knowing-subject.
No object is known, as such, by
the Transcendental Spiritual Perfect Knower. The
Transcendental Spiritual Perfect Knower Is That
Which is always Inherently Self-Indicated by
Transcendental Root-Standing relative to any
known-object, anything conditionally
known, any conditional knowing, any
mode of conditional knowledge, and any mode of
conditionally knowing (and, thus, conditionally
existing) self. Transcendental
Root-Standing simply Self-Indicates the Transcendental
Spiritual Perfect KnowerWhich Is Always
Already Perfectly Prior to all modes of conditionally
arising known-objects and all modes and
operations of a presumed conditionally arising
knowing-self. The Transcendental Spiritual
Perfect Knower Only and Always Already
Knows (or Self-Apprehends, or Self-Apperceives)
Itself (or the Perfectly Prior and Transcendental Spiritual
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State Itself)and
all conditionally arising known-objects and all
modes and operations of a presumed conditionally arising
knowing-self are, Most Ultimately (in the
context of the Perfect Practice of the
only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of life),
Divinely Self-Recognized to be merely apparent,
non-necessary, and intrinsically non-binding modifications
of the Transcendental Spiritual Perfect Knower
(or Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State) Itself.
PART II
The Distinction Between The Preliminary
Listening-Practice of Perfect Knowledge and The Perfect
Practice of Perfect Knowledge
When you are Priorly (or Always Already) Established in
and As That Self-Position Which Is the Transcendental
Spiritual Perfect Knower, It Is
Non-objectiveIt has no form, It has no
mind. It does not know conditionally. It does
not know any conditional knowledge,
or anything otherwise conditionally known, or
any conditionally arising object at all. Only
That Transcendental Spiritual Self-Position Is Truly and
Self-Evidently Prior.
The preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledge is the Tacit (by-Me-Given) Reality-Way of
simply Self-Locating, moment to moment, the
Self-Position in Which you Always Already (or Always
Priorly) Stand.
Ultimately, when there is (by Means of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Transcendental Spiritual Grace) the
Perfect Realization of the Self-Position in Which you Always
Already Stand, then there is no more practice to be done in
relation to the conditional (psycho-physical) apparatus.
Then, no preliminary exercise is any longer required to
Self-Indicate (or Self-Locate) That Native
Self-Position. You simply Are Thatand That Is That. It
Is Thatand That is the end of it. There is no further
preliminary exercise to be done. There is no conditional
(psycho-physical) apparatus (whether gross, subtle, or
causal) that needs to be used, changed, manipulated, or
otherwise gone beyond in any manner (or by any conditionally
applied means) whatsoeverbecause the Perfectly Prior
(or Transcendental Spiritual) Self-Position is not merely
re-Located (or Found again) moment
to moment, but (rather) It is Priorly (or Intrinsically, and
Always Already) Self-Established.
Such is the distinction between the preliminary
Listening-practice of Perfect Knowledge and the
(eventual) Perfect Practice of Perfect
Knowledge. In the case of the preliminary
Listening-practice of Perfect Knowledge, you are
always (in effect) re-Locating Where you Always
Already Are. In the case of the Perfect Practice
of Perfect Knowledge, you Always Already Are
Where (and As) you Always Already Are. In the context of the
Perfect Practice, Where (or As What) you Are is
(simply) Self-Evidently the Caseand, therefore, no
further intentional (or conditionally exercised) practice is
required to re-Locate Where (or As What) you
Always Already Are. Such is the Perfect, or Non-conditional,
Demonstration of Perfect Knowledge.
Thus, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Perfect
Practice of the Radical Reality-Way of
Adidam Ruchiradam is not, in and of itself, a matter of the
exercise of the twelve-part process 2 of
Radical Self-Abiding. Radical
Self-Abiding is, fundamentally (and Always Already),
simply the Self-Comprehending (or Self-Apprehending, or
Self-Apperceiving) of the Perfectly Prior (and
Transcendental Spiritual) Self-Position (or Self-Nature,
Self-Condition, and Self-State) Which has Priorly (and
Always Already) been Self-Established. To demonstrate the
Perfect Practice of Perfect
Knowledge is simply to persist in That Intrinsic
Self-Locating of the Self-Position (or
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State) in and As Which
you Always Already Self-Abide. Such is the fundamental
demonstration of the three parts of the only-by-Me Revealed
and Given Perfect Practice of the
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam. In the
context of the Perfect Practice of the
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, the
Witness-Position Is simply (and Always Already, or
Self-Evidently) Soalways, and to begin with.
Furthermore, in the context of the Perfect
Practice of the Radical Reality-Way of
Adidam Ruchira-dam, the Witness-Position Is (Thus) simply So
without any other context or practice required for any kind
of confirming (or re-confirming) of It, or
Self-Comprehending (or Self-Apprehending) of It, or to
establish the Self-Abiding As It. Such is the fundamental
process of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Perfect
Practice of the Radical Reality-Way of
Adidam Ruchiradam.
When the Perfect Practice becomes fully
established As the Tacit Fullness of the Divine Conscious
Light (and not merely as the Self-Contained
Subject-mode of
Consciousness-apart-from-objects)and,
thus, when the Bright of My Own Divine Avataric
Self-Transmission has entirely undermined all presumption of
otherness and differenceMy
Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission of Self-Radiance
is Non-conditionally Self-Apprehended As the Divine
Conscious Light, or As Self-Existing and Self-Radiant
Consciousness Itself.
Consciousness Itself as the
Subject-Onlydistinguished as That Which is
entirely Non-object, or discerned exclusively,
apart from (or somehow dissociated from)
objectsnecessarily feels a tacit sense of
difference. But the Fullest Realization of My
Bright Transcendental Spiritual
Self-Transmission is of such a Nature that all differences
are (Ultimately) Intrinsically Transcended, and Perfectly
Outshined, in Perfectly Non-exclusive Divine Self-Abiding
Self-Recognition of all objects (or all apparent
differences and even the tacit sense of
difference itself) As the One and Only and
Intrinsically Indivisible and Intrinsically egoless Divine
Conscious Light Itself. There are no differencesand
That Is the Nature of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
seventh stage Realization.
Consciousness and objects are not
different. They Are One Indivisible,
Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, and Inherently Non-separate
(and, Thus, Perfectly egoless) Conscious LightUtterly
and Self-Evidently without difference. That Is
the Nature of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh
stage Realization.
In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of
life, there are no differences.
In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of
life, there is not an object.
In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of
life, there is no not-Self.
In the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of
life, there is Only the Divine Conscious LightWhich is
not different from objects. The
known and the knowledge and the
knowing are, in Reality, not
different from the Transcendental Spiritual
Perfect Knower. However, That Is a Most
Perfectly Non-conditional, Tran-scendental, Inherently
Spiritual, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine
Realization.
The characteristic of the Realization associated with the
sixth stage of life is that there is a
difference between the Subject and
the objecteven though the
Subject is of a Non-conditional (or
Transcendental) Nature. This is due to the nature of the
characteristic sixth stage orientation, which, by means of
the exercise of dissociative introversion, strategically
turns away from objectsby turning back
upon the presumed knowing-subject. However, the
characteristic of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam (from
the beginning, and as a whole), and (therefore) the
characteristic of the Perfect Realization that indicates the
only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of life, is the
characteristic of the Indivisible Divine Conscious Light,
Itselfin Which there is no dissociative introversion
upon any presumed knowing-subject and no
presumption of difference between Consciousness
and objects. In That Most Perfect State of
Intrinsically egoless (or Perfectly subjectless)
and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Realization, all apparent
objects are, through My Divine Avataric
Transcendental Spiritual Self-Transmission of the
Bright (or the Indivisible Conscious Light)
Itself, cancelled in their separateness (or their
characteristic of difference).
The Divine Conscious Light Is One, Indivisible
ForceWhich Is Self-Existing and Self-Radiant
Consciousness (Itself). There Is no difference
between Consciousness and Light. That Is the seventh stage
Realization. And That Is My Divine Avataric Self-Revelation,
and My Unique Divine Avataric Self-Manifestation. The
Totality of My Divine Avataric Reality-Teaching corresponds
to That, from beginning to end.
Even from Its beginning, the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam
is not about the developmental stages of life themselves.
Even from Its beginning, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is
about the Perfect Knowledge That is Awakened by
the tacit devotional recognitionand, altogether, whole
bodily (or total psycho-physical), devotional,
Transcendental, and (in due course) Spiritual
Locating and Knowingof Me (As
I Am). In That devotional Communion with Me, the four
psycho-physical faculties are whole-bodily-responsively
turned to Me, and the content or patterning of the
psycho-physical faculties is (thus and thereby) forgotten in
that Non-objective Communion with Me As I Am.
Thus, Perfect Knowledge of Me is Inherent in the
right and true devotional recognition-response to Me.
Perfect Knowledge is a Divine Transcendental
Spiritual Gift, Avatarically Given by Me. Perfect
Knowledge is not something you practice as
a kind of philosophical exercise.
Most Perfect Realization of Consciousness Itself Is
Love-Bliss Itself. Love-Bliss-Consciousness Itself Is the
Divine Transcendental Spiritual Conscious LightWhich
Utterly Releases all forms of ego-bondage, and Which (Most
Ultimately) Outshines everything.
Therefore, the true Root-Practice of
Perfect Knowledge is not a matter of presuming
(in the sixth stage manner) that self-conscious
awareness (or the presumed
knowing-self)inverted upon itself, and
strategically dissociated from its apparent
objectsIs Truth. When I Instruct you in
the Root-Practice of Perfect
Knowledge, I am not Calling you to invert your
attention upon your otherwise everyday
self-consciousness (or presumed conditional
knowing-self), and (thus and thereby) to exclude
the objective thingness of life. The
self-conscious awareness (or
presumed knowing-self, or
ego-I-presumption) that sits behind
the perception and cognition of objects is not
Really existingand, in any case, it is not, itself (or
as a presumed self-idea), Love-Bliss.
Exclusionary self-consciousness is not a
Spiritual State.
In My Communication of the Reality-Way of Perfect
Knowledge, I am not suggesting that you should perform
an inward-turned act of dissociation from
objects, or that you should strategically
disconnect from things, or that you should treat
objects and things in a kind of
xenophobic manner, as if they are enemy-aliens.
Indeed, I must correct all such mistaken notions in My
devotees.
The idea that self-conscious
awareness, inverted upon itself, and (thus and
thereby) strategically dissociated from its perceptual and
conceptual objects, is Most Perfect Divine
Self-Realization is an ego-based notion. Only Perfectly
egoless Self-Realization of the Intrinsically Transcendental
Spiritual RealityPriorly and Perfectly Self-Existing,
Intrinsically Self-Evident, and Non-conditionally
Self-RadiantIs Most Perfect (and Intrinsically
egoless) Divine Self-Realization. Most Perfect Divine
Self-Realization Is the State of Perfect
Love-Bliss-Radiance, the Inherent Radiance of the
Self-Existing Reality That Is Conscious Light. It is only
when the Spiritual Reality of the Divine Conscious Light is
Realized that arising objects and the
shadow-self (or the illusion of an
object-reflecting knowing-self, or
ego-I) can be Divinely Self-Recognized.
In the beginning of your practice of the only-by-Me
Revealed and Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam, to engage the preliminary Listening-practice of
Perfect Knowledge is not yet to be Established
in Perfect Love-Bliss-Fullness. Such is the distinction
between the preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledge and the Most Perfect Realization of
Perfect Knowledge: Most Perfect Realization of
Perfect Knowledge Is the Perfectly
Transcendental and Inherently Spiritual Divine Self-Nature,
Self-Condition, and Self-State. Most Perfect Realization of
Perfect Knowledge Is Self-Existing and
Self-Radiantand Absolute.
The preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledge is not a practice of inwardly-concentrated
inversion upon any subjective state or principle
of a knowing-self, or any kind of ego-effort to
exclude objects from the field of perceptual and
conceptual awareness. Rather, the preliminary
Listening-practice of Perfect Knowledge is the
practice of Always Already Self-Standing As the Always
Already Self-Evident State That Is Always Already
Free-Standing Prior to objects. Thus and So,
when the preliminary Listening-practice of Perfect
Knowledge becomes fully and finally Demonstrated As
the Perfect Practice of Perfect
Knowledge, all-and-All Is Divinely Self-Recognized in
and As That Perfectly Prior Self-Stateand all-and-All
is Outshined in and As That Perfectly Prior Self-State,
without excluding the apparent conditionally arising
world of perceptions, and without any
dissociative introversion upon a presumed
knowing-self (or ego-I).
The only-by-Me Revealed and only-by-Me Given Means for
the Most Perfect Realization of Me are herenow, and
forever hereafter. And the only-by-Me Revealed and
only-by-Me Given Radical Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam is, from beginning to end, about the Divine
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State Itself (or the
Intrinsically egoless Nature, Condition, and State of
Reality Itself, or of Truth Itself, or of Real Acausal
God).
The conventional idea of God as the Great
Other, Who is the Maker of things,
and of separate egos, and so forth, is a concept of ordinary
(or exoteric) religiosityan idea that
comes from the ego-position of self-contracted
identification with the body-mind-self. From the
standpoint of that conventional concept of
Creator-God, there is already a body in a
cosmosand you are seeking to account for why the
body is there. That is where the conventional
Creator-God myth comes from. However, if you are
in the Reality-Position, all of what conditionally arises
has a totally Transcendental Spiritual context of
significanceand All of all-and-All is Comprehended
(or, rather, Self-Apprehended) in an Utterly
Non-differentiated Manner. That Is the Ultimate Matter of
Reality and Truthor of Real (Acausal) God.
The only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage
Reality-Way is on the Other Side of (or
Perfectly Prior to) egoitywhereas all conventional
religiosity is made on this
side of egoity, or from the position (or point
of view) of egoity itself, and (thus) from the
position (or point of view) of separateness, and
of the world as a something which
already exists, and which you account for through
devotionalistic feeling and philosophical notions about the
Divine Nature of things. But all of
that is merely imaginative speculation, based on an
ego-I, sitting in a conditionally apparent
roomrather than transcending the
categories of the apparently separate person, the apparent
objectivity of the world, the
apparent knowledge of it, and the futile
ego-effort to figure out how this is (somehow)
coming from (or being caused by) an
Ultimate Source That Is Beyond all
conditions.
The Perfect Reality-Way must Always Already Stand Beyond
and Prior to the position (or point of view) of
the separate entity in a conditionally apparent
room.
The True (and Truly Perfect) First Room,
then, Is simply the Place of Ultimate (or
Perfect) Consideration, the Place of
the Ultimate Brightness of the Perfect
Self-Realization of Reality Itself. The True (and Inherently
Perfect) First Room Is the Self-Existing and
Self-Radiant Room That Is Reality
Itselfand the Self-Existing and Self-Radiant
Room That Is Reality Itself is Inherently
without difference. The Inherently Perfect
First Room Is Non-conditional and Indivisible.
The Inherently Perfect First Room Is
Self-Bright (or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant)
Conscious Light.

My Divine Avataric Self-Revelation Is the Self-Revelation
of Reality ItselfWhich Is Self-Evidently Divine and
Indivisible.
I Am That. I am not merely communicating a philosophy
about That.
I Am the Means for the Most Perfect Divine
Self-Realization of Reality.
I Am the Perfect Realization, and I Am the Way of the
Perfect Realization, and I Give the Perfect Teaching of That
Perfect Realization.
My Fundamental Reality-Teaching Is the
Radical Communication of Perfect
Knowledge and of the Radical Reality-Way
of the true and perfect devotional recognition of Me.
The Reality-Way That I Divinely Avatarically Reveal and
Give Is the Divine Reality-Way of the
BrightWhich Is My Divine Avataric
Self-Manifestation, from Birth, and Always Already
Per-fectly Prior to Birth, and Always Already now, and
(therefore) always forever hereafter, even forever after My
Divine Avataric physical human Lifetime.
Therefore, I have always Saidand It Is Sothat
I must be devotionally recognized, As I Am. I must be
devotionally recognizedif the devotional relationship
to Me is to be fruitful as the Awakening of My any and each
and every devotee to the actual right Perfect
Knowledge practice of the Radical
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam, and (in due course) to
Most Perfect Divine Self-Realization.
My true devotees do not merely attain to Me eventually.
My true devotees begin with Me. And the entire
Radical Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam Is with
Mein My House.
In the course of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
devotional practice of Abiding with Me in My First
Room, My true devotee (in the always
radical, or at-the-root, context of
practice-demonstration) out-grows all the possible kinds of
phenomenal associationsbut My true devotee is always
(even Perfectly) with Me the entire time.
My true devotees ego-transcending devotional
Communion with Me intrinsically transcends all that may
apparently happenor merely seem to happenin the
conditionally apparent world-and-lifetime that
appears to arise in the conditionally arising
Happening that appears in apparent association
with the Perfect Context and Domain of the First
Room of Me.
