In such references Adi Da is speaking AS the Divine, (not the Divine exclusive, one and only) but the Divine (All and Everything). That the Divine (All and Everything)is able to manifest in the physical in the form of very direct Communicators, is a matter of considerable Wonder (at least to those who are into such subjects). You seem to have accepted that notion, otherwise you would not be championing the viewpoints contained in the "Conversations with God" books. The only difference is that Adi Da is not just a Communicator, but a true Guru (and his devotees see him as the full flowering of the entire Guru tradition). Of course to those who really don't know him, what he says, or what the Guru tradition is, dismiss such matters out of hand because they do not match up with their own preconceptions. What Adi Da has to offer he sums up in the phrase "a hard school, but a happy way of life". While everybody is invited to participate in the "hard school", at any given time the number of actual "participants" is limited by the ego's objections to the whole process altogether. Namaste! Jim
