Hi Jim Why does Adi Da have to read the books at all? You seem to be claiming some special ability for him To know content without having to read the entire book. If He is in fact who he claims to be, then he in fact wrote the books, so he should already know what he wrote without having to establish some occult connection through Physical contact. Am I missing something, or did he just read the chapter titles and the forward, then give it a best guess type thing? One could say they examined 100 thousand books after visiting a large library, but that would hardly give them any credibility. I fail to see why it should be different for Adi Da. I thought his analysis Of Christianity was only partially correct. He claims to know what the "Real Jesus" taught, but the only Credible evidence we have about the content of His teachings are contained in the Bible. So then, I have to ask: How does he know? We're supposed to believe that all Of His disciples were lying? Based on what? Did he thumb through the bible one day on a coffee break and it just hit him? Is that what Adi Da's disciples do? Do they lie and misrepresent him and his teachings to the point that they are turned on their head? Somehow I highly doubt it. Why then would the disciples of Christ do such a thing, especially since saying such things in that day, surely cost them their lives?
