pp. 995-1009 1. As the ego-“I”, you function as the body does
with reference to Consciousness Itself—in ignorance of
the Consciousness-Position. It is as if the cells of the
physical body “meet” together in order to
determine how they are going to “dictate”—in
an entirely insubordinate manner—the pattern of
existence for Consciousness Itself! Then, Consciousness,
without direct and intuitive understanding of Its Own
Condition, “goes along” with these
“demands”—as if the body were, in fact, the
Identity of Consciousness Itself. Such is the essence of
egoity. For Consciousness to Wake Up to Its Own Self-Position (or
to Recognize Its Own State) Is Divine Self-Realization.
However, Divine Self-Realization is not merely a mental
process. Rather, Divine Self-Realization Is, necessarily, a
Transcendental Spiritual process. And the Real
Transcendental Spiritual process requires the orientation of
devotion—which is the orientation to What Is Beyond the
“self”-knot. To embrace the life of devotion to
Me, My devotee must cease to “grant” the body (or
the total body-mind-complex, or the complex psycho-physical
totality) the “right” to “design” the
pattern of his or her existence. In Reality, the body is not senior to Consciousness
Itself. In Reality, Consciousness Itself Is
Senior—subordinate to nothing and no one. However, in the human “world”, everything is
patterned by ego. Once the ego-pattern “gets
rolling”, it replicates itself automatically. For that
pattern to be corrected, you must become aware of what you
(as ego) are doing, and you must change your act—and
you must be culturally obliged, by means of systematic
accountability, to change your act (based on right
“self”-observation and right
“self”-understanding). All of this is required in
order for the Transcendental Spiritual process to be
Real—and It cannot be otherwise. Without My Divine Avataric Intrusion into your life, your
ego-pattern merely replicates itself endlessly, relative to
everything whatsoever—and you remain trapped in the
ego-possessed domain of “point of view”. The
ego-patterning of each individual human being, and even the
collective ego-patterning of humanity as a whole, is
ceaselessly replicated—very much in the manner of
cellular reproduction. The fundamental by-Me-Revealed and by-Me-Given Law of
true Spiritual life (and even of true human life) is this:
Never subordinate the Source. If that fundamental Law is
discarded, there is not anything that is right. As soon as
that one Law is cancelled, the ego-pattern starts taking
over everything, in the manner of cellular reproduction. The
ego manifests itself virtually infinitely, in a checkerboard
pattern that replicates its own state and position. As soon as there is the ego-position (or
“self”-contraction), there is the entire
conditionally manifested universe. When there is no
“self”-contraction, there is no conditionally
manifested universe. You are “Narcissus”. You are looking at an
image, and you think the image is actually
“there”—as something outside you, as
something that has nothing to do with you, except that you
are seeing it as an “object”. As
“Narcissus”, you are controlled by that
“known-object”. You have already taken up the
ego-position—and, from that position, you even regard
Me as a “known-object”, “digitalizing”
Me into the checkerboard that extends from your little block
of presumption. In the ancient Greek myth, Narcissus is absorbed in an
image—but he does not even notice that it is an image
in a mirror. The key to understanding “Narcissus”
(or the ego-“I”) is not that the
“self”-image is an image of oneself. Rather, the
key to understanding “Narcissus” (or the
ego-“I”) is that the “self”-image is an
image reflected in and by a mirror. The entire “world” of apparently
“objective” reality is a mirrored (or reflected)
thing. What is its Source? What is its Source-Condition, or
“Root”-Condition? The Mirror (or Consciousness Itself) Is the Source (or
the Perfectly Prior and all-and-All-Reflecting Self-Nature,
Self-Condition, and Self-State) of all-and-All. What Is the State of the Mirror? What Is the Mirror? The Mirror Is the Truth. The Mirror Is Reality Itself.
The Mirror Is Me—the Self-Existing and Self-Radiant
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality
Itself. The Mirror Is the Truth. The reflected imagery of
“self” and “world” is not the Truth. The
State of the Mirror Itself Is the Truth. The
“objects” seen in the Mirror are not the
Truth. However, merely to hear this Statement of Mine is not
sufficient. The ego may be satisfied with merely hearing My
Words—but, in order for the Truth of What I am Saying
to actually be Realized, you must change your act, and
change your entire life. Therefore, My devotee must always live in right
relationship to Me—subordinating ego-“I” to
Me, living by My Divine Avataric Word and Person, entering
into devotional Communion with Me, and (thus and thereby)
entering into the Position That Is Perfectly Prior to
“point of view”. I am not looking in a mirror. I Am the Mirror, or the
Water Itself—all the while. As “Narcissus”,
you do not accept that I Am the Mirror. As
“Narcissus”, you presume that what you see in the
Mirror is you—and that I am merely some kind of
metaphor, representing something that is really about you.
No—the Mirror does not represent anything. You are the
representation (or re-presentation). You are the reflected
“object”. I Am Always Already Present, Directly Before you, As the
Mirror—but you, as “Narcissus”, merely
persist in looking at the image of yourself, and either
admiring the image or recoiling from it (depending on your
attitude of the moment). In either case, you remain in the
position of looking at a reflection. Real practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
“Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is
exactly the opposite of the “Narcissus”-position.
Looking at the reflection is not the practice I have
Revealed and Given. Looking at the reflection is egoity.
Looking at the “object”, looking at separate
“self”, analyzing your “case”, living
the repetitions of your ego-patterning day to day to day to
day, until death—all of that is mummery. That is the
reflection-game. That is bondage. Everyone is involved in a primary “cult of
pairs”—the “relationship” to
“self”, the “relationship” between the
ego-“I” and “its” reflection. That is
the primary “relationship” for everyone: always
staring at your own reflection, in the form of an illusory
ego-“I” (or “knowing-self”). If you are simply bodily present, you do not have a
shape. In order to see yourself as a shape, you have to
abstract yourself from your own Intrinsic Position, because
you have to see yourself reflected from outside. In other
words, you have to look in a mirror—either a literal
mirror or (otherwise) the mirror of perceptual processes and
social associations that give you a sense of outline, a
sense of space and time, and so forth. “Consider” this: Every perception takes time.
Therefore, remarkably, you are never in the present moment,
with reference to conditional appearances. You are always
“afterwards”—because it takes a fraction of a
second for any perception to register in the brain.
Therefore, none of your phenomenal “experiencing”
is in present time. All phenomenal “experience” is
mirrored—and you are constantly occupied with your
mirrored (or reflected) existence. The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of
“Perfect Knowledge” (Which Is the
“Radical” Reality-Way of the Heart, or the
“Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam) is not
about your mirrored (or reflected) existence. The
Reality-Way of “Perfect Knowledge” is not even
about the “I”-thought at the core of your presumed
separate “selfhood”—because even the
“I”-thought is simply another mode of mirroring
(or reflection). The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of
“Perfect Knowledge” is solely about the State That
Is Truth (Itself), or Reality (Itself)—Perfectly Prior
to reflections, Perfectly Prior to
“objectification”. That State need not be
“achieved”—because It Is Always Already The
Case. Such is your Real Situation—Perfectly Prior to
“point of view”, Perfectly Prior to
“known-object”, Perfectly Prior to conditional
“knowledge”, Perfectly Prior to reflection,
Perfectly Prior to the entire game and mummery and tragedy
of “Narcissus”. Reality Itself, That Which Is
Always Already The Case, Is Perfectly Prior to any and every
problem. Therefore, there is never any
problem-“object” to be presumed as the basis for a
“program” of seeking for Realization of Reality
Itself. All practice-responsibilities in the “Radical”
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam are subordinate to the
primary matter of the Intrinsic Self-Realization of Reality
Itself. The Intrinsic (or Self-Intuitive)
“Knowledge” of Reality Itself is the case in every
instant of devotional recognition-response to Me. And that
Self-Intuitive “Knowledge” is the case in every
moment of “Perfect Knowledge” practice. Thus, the
practice of whole bodily devotional turning to Me and
“Perfect Knowledge” is the twofold
“Root”-Practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam.
All the by-Me-Given disciplines of right life extend from
This Reality-“Root” (or “Radical”
devotional “Knowledge”) That Is Priorly Free. The
Purpose (or Reality-Significance) of the by-Me-Given
disciplines of right life is to enable (or to really
demonstrate) the Perfectly Prior Disposition That Is
Inherently Free, such that the Priorly Free Disposition may
Self-Manifest in the midst of the conditions of existence.
And, indeed, if you do not fully embrace and truly live the
by-Me-Given disciplines of right life, you are (in that
case) always assuming the reflected (or mirrored) position,
in which “known-objects” and
“shadow-self” (or “object-subject”
reflections) appear to be senior to the Intrinsically
Self-Evident (and Perfectly Subjective, or Intrinsically
egoless and Self-Evidently Divine) Self-Nature,
Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself. To devotionally recognize Me is not to be familiar with
Me as an “objective other”. Rather, to
devotionally recognize Me is to “Locate” My
Self-Evidently Divine State, to be moved to Me through
devotional recognition of My Self-Evidently Divine State.
All other modes of familiarity with Me are modes of
“objectification”. No mode of
“objectification” is devotional recognition of Me.
Devotional recognition of Me is not merely to
“objectively know” what My bodily (human) Form
looks like. True devotion to Me is a matter of
“Locating” Me As I Am. True devotion to Me is to
tacitly “Know” My Self-Evidently Divine State, all
the faculties turned to Me As I Am. And that whole bodily
turning to Me As I Am is also true of the preliminary
“Perfect Knowledge”
Listening-practice—because that
“Root”-Practice is the moment to moment
re-assertion of the Intrinsically Self-Evident State of
Reality Itself, Which Is the Communion-with-Me State. As “Narcissus”, you do not accept the practice
I have Revealed and Given to you. Therefore, as
“Narcissus”, you persistently tend to
“objectify” Me and impose your own ego-patterning
on Me and (thus) to “keep your distance”. As
“Narcissus”, you remain fascinated by a little
reflection on the Mirror surface. I Am here, Spontaneously (Avatarically and Divinely)
Appeared. And, just as you do what you do by tendency, I Do
What I Do In Truth—As Reality
Itself—Self-Manifested in this conditional realm, and
Utterly Free of “point-of-view” bondage. In Appearing here, I am surrounded by the
checkerboard—shifted around in this maze of squares, of
stops, of limits in time and space. Repetition, appearance,
shift, change. Shift, shift, shift—but always the same.
That time-and-space domain of klik-klak is (itself)
conditional, with all kinds of limitations. Nevertheless,
time-and-space is a domain in which, paradoxically, My Free
Divine Avataric Appearance can be Self-Manifested. The appearance of an ordinary checkerboard is very
orderly—suggesting that everything is in order, and
(thus) “all right”. All such apparent order is a
symmetry based on repetitions. However, the seeming order of
the checkerboard is not Truth. The seeming order of the
checkerboard is not the Condition of Reality Itself. Rather,
the seeming order of the checkerboard is an
“object”-imposition, a reflection. The
checkerboard seems to be orderly because it is generated
from a single square which multiplies itself—in
principle, infinitely. The result of that
replication-process is a vast checkerboard that appears to
be strictly organized. Such is a metaphor for the usual presumption about the
nature of the conditionally manifested universe. According
to the conventions of human language and human thinking, the
universe is “one thing”, which is organized in
every detail—and which is “given” to human
beings for the paradisiacal purpose of their own
“self”-fulfillment. All such thinking is
nonsense—an utter fabrication, with no basis whatsoever
in Reality. If the universe is so orderly, why does
everybody die? Why is everyone subject to so much suffering?
Why is this mode of existence characterized by suffering? It
is not merely that bad “experience” is potential
here. This orderly universe is suffering. The checkerboard
is suffering. It is not merely a matter of how any
particular game of checkers works out. No—the
checkerboard (in and of itself) is limitation, confinement,
non-Reality, bondage, stress, search, and mortality. The
checkerboard—in and of itself—is intolerable. You are supposed to notice this! You are supposed to
notice—with every breath, every morning, every
day—that this orderly universe, in and of itself, is
hell! This, in and of itself, is bondage. The checkerboard
does not have good intentions—and neither does it have
bad intentions. The checkerboard has no intentions. The
checkerboard is simply a pattern replicating, generating
seed-forms that are totally arbitrary, non-necessary, and
merely apparent modifications of the all-and-All-Reflecting
(or Acausal) Condition That Is Reality Itself. Reality Itself Is Freedom. Reality Itself Is Divinity.
Reality Itself Is the Only Real (Acausal) God. Reality
Itself is not the checkerboard, not the digital field of
cosmic “Nature”, not the perceived universe, not
the mind, not anything “objectified”, not any form
of conditional “knowledge”. Reality Itself Is That
Which Is Always Already Perfectly Prior—Perfectly Prior
to conditional “knowledge”, Perfectly Prior to
“known-object”. Reality Itself Is the Divine
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State That Is the
Source-Condition of all-and-All—no matter what
apparently arises. That Is the Truth. That Is Reality Itself. That Is
Perfectly Self-Sufficient, lacking no thing whatsoever. This
must be Realized. That Realization is what makes the
Earth-“world” (or conditional life) not
hell—even in the midst of all apparent arising. Godless universe is hell. Godless and Guruless
“every day” is hell. Humanity is constantly
pronouncing the advocacy of hell—as if hell were your
choice, as if hell were entirely “swell”. It is
not! This “world” is seeded with death. This
“world” is ignorance. This “world”
always does not yet “Know” Reality Itself. This
“world” is, as such, Godless. This
“world”, in and of itself, is suffering.
Nevertheless, human beings are all advocating this
“world” simply because, here and there, you have
your miscellaneous little pleasures of this and that.
Therefore—because you have your pleasures, because you
have this checkerboard that looks so orderly, and because
your seeking can entirely occupy you—you conclude that
your ego-position in this “world” is to be
defended at all costs. You are all ignorantly defending your
separate position (or “point of view” in
space-time) within the comprehensive mummery of egoic life.
In that disposition, you inevitably subordinate Me to your
presumed “self”, and to the pattern that you think
is Reality—whereas, in Reality, that pattern is nothing
but mummery. That pattern (including its
“shadow-self”) is a reflected
“object”—always “after the fact” of
Reality Itself, always “post-Reality”. What Is Reality? What Is the Reality-Condition, moment to
moment? That Is What there is to Realize—not endless
talk about the “known-object”, the reflection, the
“shadow”, the ego-“I”. The fundamental uniqueness, the essential characteristic,
and the Inherent Truth of the “Radical”
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is that Reality Itself is
“out front”—from the beginning, moment to
moment. The Mirror and The Checkerboard (section 2 – 4) (pages 1002 – 1009) 2. I have Visited the “tower room” where klik-klak
is happening. I am Telling you that is what is happening. It
is dreadful. It is hell. Klik-klak, klik-klak—shift,
shift, shift. In and of itself, it is dark, and
deadly—and you are caught in it, as if drifting along
in some giant intestine, waiting to be crapped out. In the meantime, what are you doing? You are
“hanging out” in that dark “shit-pipe”.
That is all you are doing here—because you will not
accept the Prior Principle That Is Reality Itself. You will
not bend the knee—and subordinate separate
“self” (or the presumed “shadow-self”,
or “knowing-self”) to What is Perfectly Great. The klik-klak checkerboard is the actual nature of the
conditional apparition of the all-and-All-Reflecting
Reality. When you get up close, then you can see the
checkerboard, the field of repetition, the field of
appearance-shift-change. The black and white squares of the
checkerboard just shift into different patterns, making
pictures. When you stand far back, you see the
pictures—but when you get up close, all there is is the
checkerboard (or the “grid”, as I have also called
it). There is a grid in the Energy-Field That Is
Consciousness Itself—and all of this appearance of
universe is merely bits on that grid. In and of itself, the
grid is a terrible illusion, a mere reflection. The question is not “What is being reflected?”
The question is “What is reflecting it?”, or
“What is the Condition in Which the reflected image is
appearing?” The Mirror Is Reality Itself, Which Is Acausal. The
Mirror does not “cause” what appears reflected on
Its surface. The Mirror Is Perfectly Prior to what appears
reflected on Its surface. The Mirror does not change what is
reflected on Its surface, and It does not
“causatively” originate what is reflected on Its
surface. Whatever is “causative” is inherently
conditional. Reality Itself Is, paradoxically,
Acausal—not “causing” anything. Reality
Itself Is the Source—in the sense that whatever arises
is merely an apparent modification of Reality
Itself—but Reality Itself does not make anything
happen. Reality Itself does not insist. Therefore, none of
what arises has any ultimate necessity. None of what arises
is Reality Itself. Rather, what arises is merely an
appearance based on the (merely apparent) modification of
Reality Itself. When you see What is being played on, when you
Self-“Locate” the Mirror—the Self-State of
That Which Is Acausal and Merely Reflecting, relative to
Which nothing arising has any ultimate necessity, nothing
arising has any binding force—then you have become
Established in the Perfectly Prior Position. The Perfectly
Prior Position is not “you”. The Perfectly Prior
Position is not the nature of the egoic
“self”—and, in Truth, there is no egoic
“self”. The Perfectly Prior Position Is
Acausal—meaning there is no separate “anyone”
there. That is not a state to be achieved. That Is the State
That Is Always Already The Case—not the separate
“point of view” on the checkerboard, not the
presumed independent entity, not the checkerboard-field of
universe. In Reality, ego is not at the “Root” of the
“world”, not at the “Root” of the body.
In Reality, the body is a reflection. Therefore, to think of
the ego-“self” as the body is to think of Reality
as a “known-object”. What about the
“Subject”-Position That Is Perfectly Prior to the
reflection? Before you look in the Mirror, What Is the Case?
What Is Always Already The Case? Before you look in the
Mirror, you Are the Mirror—not a “thing”
appeared as separate “knowing-self”. It is (in
some context and convention of discourse) appropriate to
refer to the Inherent Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition,
and Self-State (or fundamental “Root”-Condition)
As “Self”—but the Divine Self-Nature,
Self-Condition, and Self-State is not “a self” (or
an “object”-attending “knowing-self”).
Rather, the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and
Self-State Is Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Conscious
Light, or Intrinsically egoless Consciousness Itself. I Am That. I Am That here—in this midst, and now. 3. There are no egos in Reality Itself—none. It is not
that Adidam is a Way in which you overcome egoity by a
process of “wearing it down”—as if emptying
water from a boat with a bucket, such that you eventually
succeed in getting all of the water out of the boat. There
is no water in the boat. There is no ego in the
body-mind-complex. There is no ego in Reality Itself. The
ego does not, in Reality, exist. There is no separate
entity—and the preliminary “Perfect
Knowledge” Listening-practice points to the
non-existence of the otherwise presumed-to-be-separate
“knowing-self” (or ego-“I”). If you (as My devotee) engage the preliminary
“Perfect Knowledge” Listening-practice based on
profound devotional recognition-response to Me, turning to
Me with all the faculties, you will (inevitably)
re-discover, in every moment, that you are not egoically
“self”-identified with conditions of any kind. In
that case, appearances of a conditional (or psycho-physical)
nature—or all apparently “objective”
phenomena, whether seemingly “internal” or
seemingly “external”—continue to happen, in
some apparent sense. But, paradoxically, they happen on the
Basis of the Intrinsically egoless Divine Self-Nature,
Self-Condition, and Self-State and the Transcendental
Spiritual Current of Reality Itself, Which
“contains” no separate “one”. All
apparent separateness is, in Reality, a unified field of
apparent happening—but without any separate entity that
is participating in it or threatened by it. Such is the “radical” characteristic of the
Reality-Way I have Revealed and Given. Such is the
“radical” characteristic of the disposition of
true devotion to Me. True devotion to Me is (necessarily)
ego-transcending. True devotion to Me does not relate to Me
as an egoic “other”. Only the profoundest
devotional recognition of Me can establish profoundest
devotion to Me. 4. As “Narcissus”, you live in the checkerboard
field, where everyone is gaming, seeking, looking for a goal
at one end of the checkerboard or the other, or even just
“messing around”. You are not even working toward
getting out to the edge of the field—and, in fact,
there is no edge of the field. There is no center on the
checkerboard. You simply move around within it. Thus, there
is no separate “self”—but there is also no
edge. The Sphere of the Mirror Is Centerless and Boundless.
The Mirror has no edges—and, therefore, the Mirror has
no center. The “world” of “object”-reflections
is what has traditionally been called
“samsara”—the “world” of illusion,
the “world” of suffering. To Most Perfectly
Realize the Condition of the Mirror Itself, Which Is the
Perfectly Prior (or Always-Already) Position, is (in
traditional language) “Nirvana”—or Divine
Enlightenment, or Divine Self-Realization. The Perfectly
Prior Position Is Perfect. The Perfectly Prior Position Is
the seventh stage Realization, Which I Perfectly
Self-Manifest and Perfectly Self-Reveal. In essence, human society is no different from a beehive
or an ant colony. In a beehive, the queen is simply pumping
out eggs. And the other bees are “designed”, in
the grid-pattern of that particular species, to have their
particular functions. Each type of bee has its own genetic
and chemical triggers, as a result of which it acquires a
certain appearance and functions in a certain manner. Every
bee unconsciously fulfills its pre-patterned
role—including its participation in the necessary
procedures of replication—and every bee eventually
becomes obsolete, post-replication, in a pre-determined
period of however many days or weeks. Human society functions in exactly the same manner. There
is a necessary biological replication-process, by which
“replacement organisms” are made—and also a
process of replicating states of mind and states of
emotion—and then you (the temporary link) become
obsolete and drop dead. What you always cling to as
“you” is eventually shed, without a moment’s
hesitation—like excrement. From the “point of
view” of the universe, the “you” that is the
body-mind-complex is nothing but “shit”. The
“body-mind you” is nothing but a temporary little
event. The “body-mind you” is, in both cosmic (or
conditional) Nature and Reality Itself, not treated as
having any ultimate importance—and, in Truth (or in
Reality Itself), the “body-mind you” has no
ultimate importance. Where is the Freedom from this intolerable bondage? If
you look at your actual situation in this “world”,
and truly observe and understand what it is, how could you
possibly be naively enthusiastic about it? In and of itself,
your situation in this “world” is hell. In and of
itself, your situation in this “world” is
terrible. If there is anything potentially beautiful about
your situation in this “world”, you must be
(apparently) associated with the “world” from a
different position—the Truth-Position, the
Reality-Position, the Intrinsic Self-Position That Is
(Always Already) Free of the implications of the machine of
klik-klak-happening. If this “world” is only
repetitive activities and replication—perhaps with a
little shift, a minor change, accompanying each gesture, and
with the inevitable ending in death—how can that be
accepted, except that it is imposed on you by force? What is
there of delight in that? What is greater than that? Is there anything greater?
Yes, there Is. But a Reality-Revealer is needed, to make it
plain—not only to make it plain through words, but to
Be it, to Self-Manifest it, to Show the Way, such that the
relationship to That One can become a Way of life for That
One’s devotees. What is it about this that the “modern
Everyman” cannot accept? Throughout all human history,
great beings, in their various modes of Realization, have
appeared in the midst of human-kind and done exactly this.
What is there about all of “modern” you, that you
cannot accept this, that you insist on subordinating What is
Supremely Great to what is “dark” and
“sinful”? As “Narcissus”, your law is to presume your own
independence, your own immunity, and your own position of
being “in control”. Such are the signs of your
desperate search for safety and survival—because you
tacitly understand, at heart, that you are in trouble in
this “shit-maze” here. You want to pretend
contentedness—but you are not contented. All egos are
inherently disturbed. Whatever is orderly is the checkerboard itself. To be a
square in that checkerboard is to be inherently
disturbed—but you are so bound that your energy of
disturbance simply acts as a mover in the game, rather than
moving you out of the game. To be in the
“self”-knot-position is not Bliss, not Happiness,
not Truth, not Divine. Order is not Truth—nor is disorder. Truth Is
Perfectly Prior to both order and disorder. When Truth is
Self-Established, then a creative process of Right
Order—or the working-out of chaotic
situations—happens, but only in That Free and Divine
Disposition. If you remain in the checkerboard pattern, it inevitably
becomes more and more complex—because the checkerboard
is an infinite field, without center or bounds. There is
always more and more and more and more and more. I Am the Hole in the universe, Perfectly Prior to all
this mummery. I Am here, to Break the spell, to Make Right
Life and the Real Reality-Way possible, in an otherwise
deluded context of “world”-happening. However, the
ego’s impulse is to avoid My Divine Imposition, to
casually “play around” in this infinite apparent
field of the grid of conditional
appearances—un-Illumined, not “Bright”,
“Thumb”-less, without a clue. Chaos is also very orderly. If you get down to its
up-closest state, you will see: Everything is happening on a
checkerboard, a digital screen, a grid. In that sense,
everything is orderly. If you step back, you are seeing the
piecemeal picture, and it is chaotic—even sometimes
appearing to have edges and a center. That is the
conditional universe. That is moment to moment
ego-existence—feeling that the ego-“I” is the
center of the universe, merely because it is the center of
its own apparition of grid. The “point of view” of attention—the fixed
locus of attention in the space-time grid—is what you
identify as “self”. You call it “I”.
Thus, the grid “point of view” is the origin of
the “I”-utterance. From that “point of
view”, if there were not a checkerboard in which to
presume a position, you would not live. There would not be
any separate “I”. And, in Reality, that is exactly
how it is. There is no separate “I”. The only-by-Me Revealed and Given “Radical”
Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam Is the Way of Reality
Itself. The “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam begins with Reality Itself—and, therefore,
the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam has
no goal. Reality Itself Is the Realization Constantly Given
by Me in the “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam
Ruchiradam. Ultimately, that Realization is Most Perfect,
Outshining all-and-All—but such Most Perfect
Realization is simply the Most Perfect Demonstration of That
Which Is the Reality-Way from the beginning. Devotion to Me (utterly turned to Me, with all of the
principal faculties) and the “Perfect Knowledge”
Listening-practice—engaged, in conjunction with each
other, in every life-context, in accordance with My
Instructions (and, necessarily, supported by the by-Me-Given
disciplines of right life)—is the Way of Reality
Itself. There-fore, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
“Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam Is
Reality-Realizing, in every moment, from the beginning.
Really ego-transcending devotional Communion with Me,
demonstrated moment to moment through the “Perfect
Knowledge” Listening-practice (and through the forms of
life-discipline I have Given), Is the Non-conditional
Realization of Reality Itself. Therefore, in every moment,
the practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
“Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam has the
virtue of being Established in Reality Itself—rather
than being trapped in mummery, in egoity, in fear. You exist as if you were outside your own body. In
Reality, you are not outside your own body—and you are
not even merely inside your own body. In Reality, you are
Perfectly Prior to the body (and Perfectly Prior to the
total psycho-physical ego-“I”)—which means
that there is no “you”. “You” (or
“I”) is nothing but a reference to a chronically
presumed “point of view” in time and space, a mere
illusion of “location” on the centerless and
boundless checkerboard-grid of the
“world”-mummery. Reality Itself has no position on a grid. Reality Itself
Is Perfectly Prior—Prior to center, Prior to bounds,
Prior to “problem”, Prior to seeking, Prior to
un-Truth. Reality Itself Is Self-Evidently Divine. Reality
Itself Is All the God There Is. The “Object-God” is false. The
“Object-God” is an illusion. Fundamentally, the
“Object-God” is merely a concept, politically and
culturally used (in the common “world” of egos) to
provide a metaphorical situation for the conventional
assertion of “authority”, and for the conventional
“authoritative” (or “official”)
pronouncing (and enforcing) of social imperatives. The “Object-God” is not Reality Itself.
Therefore, the “Object-God” is not That Which Is
Inherently Divine. The “Object-God” is like the
“I”-thought: It is merely the illusory center of a
language-game. The “world” is another such center
of a language-game. The “I”-thought (or the
presumed-to-be-independent ego-“self”), and the
“world”, and the “God”-idea are the
three fundamental categories of Reality-as-reflection. As
such, “ego-‘I’”,
“world-out-there”, and “God-everywhere”
are the essential categories of egoic bondage—the
tripartite package of “world”-mummery. Some people
throw out the “God”-idea—but that does not
make any difference, because “ego” provides the
grid, and “world” provides the mummery. And if the
“God”-idea is still entertained, it provides the
(socially dictated) “rules of the game”. All of
that is simply a manifestation (or extension) of
ego-mind. Real (Acausal) God Is Reality Itself. Real (Acausal) God
does not have a name. Nevertheless, words can be
used—and I do use them, Revealing to you that Real
(Acausal) God Is the Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and
Self-State That Is Reality Itself, the Intrinsic
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Self-State, and
Source-Condition of all appearances. That
“Root”-Condition Is egoless, Centerless,
Unbounded, Non-conditional, without limitation, and without
bondage. If you would have your life not be about bondage, Reality
Itself must Transform your life. The only-by-Me Revealed and
Given “Radical” Reality-Way of Adidam Ruchiradam
Is That “Radical” (or Always
“At-the-Root”) Transformation of life, Based on
Perfectly Prior Establishment In and As Reality Itself. “Radical” (or always already
“at-the-root”) devotion to Me and Intrinsically
(or tacitly and egolessly) Self-Exercised “Perfect
Knowledge”—the twofold fundamental practice within
which all the other by-Me-Given practices and disciplines
are to be engaged—is the Avatarically by-Me-Given
Divine Means whereby life is Transformed (or Made right) by
Reality Itself.
