Beezone Forward to Adi
Da Samraj essay
‘My First Word’
‘My First Word‘ is an essay that appears at the beginning of all Adi Da’s 23 source texts and his primary summary text, The Dawn Horse Testament. My First Word states Adi Da’s premise of who he is and who he is not. Beezone believes (for many reasons) a large portion of people who read (or try to read) Adi Da do in fact misunderstand what he writes. It is for this reason Beezone has written this Forward in the hope it will clarify some of these misunderstandings. Beezone is under NO illusion as to the criticisms people have of Adi Da’s ‘claims’ and ‘style’ of communicating. Beezone believes this is the ‘wrapping’ or the ‘first bite’ that people are responding to. So, Beezone implores you to read Adi Da from a larger view and not to take him in an absolute ‘literal’ sense. He is a paradox, so when reading Adi Da keep in mind, he is not only talking about Himself, but about You too. As he writes in My First Word, “My Realization is your realization”.
Forward to My First Word by Beezone
Please Do Not Misunderstand Adi Da Samraj.
He is not making any grand claims about God, Divinity or Truth.
He is simply stating Reality, Truth and God,
As He Is.
Realized and
Radiating.
This is my understanding
of Him.
He is NOT making an exclusive Communication.
What He is stating has always been stated
and Realized
To one degree
Or another
By Realizers.
Now Fully
Revealed,
For a New Epoch,
In a New Time.
Don’t confuse your limited
Cultural
Understanding with
Truth.
When He states ‘I Am’
The Only,
He is not exclusively
referring to
A limited body-mind.
If you do
You are missing
His point.
For you will only be looking at
Your defended
And offended
self.
His Communication,
“I Am”,
Is Beyond,
Not
Grand,
Just Beyond.
The Bright
Form
Dissolves
Mind
In the Heart.
Or,
It will
Collapse
Like a black hole
Sucking all the universes
To a point of contraction,
In your heart.
Remember what He is
Saying,
I Am That
And so are you.
But also remember,
There is no you!
In That.
There is Only Him
Realized
As One.
His Realization
Potentially,
Is your realization,
When Realized.
Not by you
but By Him.
Don’t get lost
In pronouns.
There is
ONLY ONE
Realization
and He Is That!
Fully,
Always Prior,
Transcendental,
Immanent,
Non-Conditional,
yet conditional.
In Form,
A Paradox
To your limited understanding.
He is Not in the Middle.
He is Not Between.
He Is Here.
The only difference is you.
And so,
One,
Universal,
Temporal,
All of Mankind Is Surrounded,
and Pervaded,
and Blessed By
That One.
Him,
Me.
Not pronouns!
There is ONLY
ONE WORLD,
ONE UNIVERSE
In all is Billions
and Billions
of Reflections.
For your benefit,
and Understanding.
Please Do Not Misunderstand
Him,
Me,
Your
self.
My First Word
Adi Da Samraj
Truth Itself – No Ego – Truth, Reality and Religion – Confession
Satsang – Cultism – Ego Trap
True Devotionalism – Cultism – True Satsang – Round Dance – The Call – Signs
The Cult – The Avatar
Idols
No thought or figure or any perception arising in the mind is, in itself, God. No thing, no body, no moment or place, in itself, is God. Rather, every moment, place, thing, body, or state of mind inheres in God. Whatever arises should be recognized in God, not idolized as God. Then all conditions become Reminders that draw us into the ecstatic presumption of the Mysterious Presence of the Living One.
The Transcendental Adept or true Spiritual Master is a Transparent Reminder of the Living One, a Guide to Ecstatic Remembrance of the One in Whom all conditions arise and change and pass away. Such an Adept is not to be made into the Idol of a Cult, as if God were exclusively contained in the objective person and subjective beliefs of a particular sect. Rather, right relationship to the Adept Spiritual Master takes the form of free ecstatic surrender to the Living Divine based on recognition of the Living One in the Revelation of Freedom, Happiness, Love, Wisdom, Help, and Radiant Power that Shines in the Company of the Adept. Right relationship to a true Spiritual Master is the most fundamental basis of the universal process that is true religion, and there is no basis for “religious differences” at the level of actual practice and Realization.
