I do not champion CWG. I do reference it by way of explaining how I choose to be, and I am happy to explain it to those who ask, but I carry no brief for Walsch or anyone else. Neale has given form to a message I and many others find highly resonant, even life-changing, and I certainly accord him respect and courtesy for this. But I do not regard him as anything more or less than myself. His person is of no particular significance, certainly not something anyone would call "the Great Event of history" as Da's devotees believe of him. No one who accepts the message of CWG could possibly hold such a view.
Adi Da seems to be saying many of the same things as CWG, but admixed with a messianism which seems at odds with this message. I'm sure you disagree with this assessment but I can find no evidence in the material you've sent me to support that view.
If I may quote one excerpt to illustrate this:
The Great Secret of My Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Person, and My Avatarically Self-Manifested Divine Blessing-Work (now, and forever hereafter)--and, therefore, the Great Secret of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam--Is that I am not the "man in the middle", but I Am Reality Itself, I Am the Only One Who Is, I Am That Which Is Always Already The Case, I Am the Non-Separate (Avatarically Self-Revealed and Self-Evidently Divine) Person (or One and Very Divine Self, or One and True Divine Self-Condition) of all and All (Beyond the ego-'I' of every one, and of all, and of All).
Aham Da Asmi. Beloved, I Am Da--the One and Only and Non-Separate and Indivisible and Self-Evidently Divine Person, the Non-Sepraate and Indivisible Self-Condition and Source-Condition of all and All. I Am the Avatarically Self-Revealed "Bright" Person--Which Is the One and Only and Non-Separate and Indivisible and Indestructible Light of All and all. I Am That One and Only and Non-Separate One. And--As That One, and Only As That One--I Call all human beings to heart-recognize Me, and to heart-respond to Me with right, true, and full devotion (demonstrated by Means of formal practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam--Which Is the One and Only By-Me-Revealed and By-Me-Given Way of the Heart).
Quoted from Real God Is the Indivisible Oneness of Unbroken Light pp. 60-61.
Yes, I understand the distinction buried in this quote between the divine and a representation of the divine. Adi Da is basically saying "God is all there is and here I am". Had he but added "And so are you" I could accept this. You may say he does say this, but again I've yet to find a passage to support this. |
