Hi Jim
I commend you for being willing to test the truth of your understanding, but I think you are just chasing a bubble when you try to use "personal experience" as your only criteria for doing so. I don't know Adi Da, but There are many false prophets, and none of them claim to be false prophets. Satan himself, appears as an "angel(messenger) of light."
"True religion is not a matter of the mind. It is a matter of the Heart."
True religion is a matter of truth, not feeling. All Truth can't be reached by reason alone, it requires revelation, but that Truth is not divorced from reason. I compare every teacher and teaching with the bible. If what is taught doesn't mach up with that then I know something is not right.
Islam tries to claim the bible, but then says that it was altered. Mohamad seemed to accept the bible of his day as being accurate. Since we have copies the predate that acceptance, I can't see how it was supposed to be changed later. Mohamad and Islam are opposed to what the bible says about Jesus, as the Son of GOD. Both could conceivably be wrong, but both can't be right.
Who is Adi Da, and what does he say about Jesus? Does he contradict Him when he says; "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, but through me."? Did Adi Da, die and rise again from the dead that we should believe him as opposed to Jesus? I look forward to hearing from you.
