BILL:
I guess I am not communicating properly what:
-- process Adi Da has gone through
-- what his realization is (50 + books about that)
-- the fact that he HELPS his devotees go through that same process.
You seem to continue to see him as proclaiming himself as
"God-exclusive" whereas his whole theme is the no-exceptions-INCLUSIVENESS of the Divine.
Anyway, here's another piece:
from: THE ONLY COMPLETE WAY TO REALIZE THE UNBROKEN LIGHT OF REAL GOD
ADI DA:(1.29) "Anyone who Fully "Considers" The Great Process Demonstrated In My Own Case Must Thereby Observe That Real and Most Ultimate (or Inherently Most Perfect) Fulfillment Of ego-Transcending (and, Ultimately, Real-God-Realizing) Practice Involves A Profound Ordeal That Encompasses (or, Otherwise, Directly Transcends) Each and All Of The Seven Stages Of Life. Indeed, In the case of all others, No Such Effort Can Most Perfectly Fulfill Itself Without Right Devotional (or ego-Surrendering, ego-Forgetting, and, More and More, ego-Transcending) "Consideration" Of My Avatarically Self-Revealed and Ever-Speaking Divine Word, My Avatarically Self-Manifested Divine Teaching-Leelas, and Even All The Leelas Of My Avatarically Self-Manifested Divine Work Of Self-Revelation and Heart-Blessing, and Without The Discipline Of The True and Complete Culture Of Life Of The Community Of My Devotees, and Without Spiritual Access To Me (Whether During Or After The Avataric Physical Lifetime Of My Bodily Human Divine Form)-For I Am The Avatarically Self-Revealing Divine Source Of Unrelenting Grace (or Divine Heart-Transmission), and, Therefore, Of Spiritual, Transcendental, and Divine Self-Realization (or Divine Enlightenment).
(1.30) The Way Of Transcendental (and Inherently Spiritual) Divine Enlightenment Has Been Revealed In and Via The Form Of My Own Ordeal Of Life, Practice, and Divine Self-Realization. However, My Own Ordeal Is Divine-and, Therefore, Unique. I Am Avatarically Born, In Order To Teach (and Awaken) all others. Therefore, My Summary Of The Way Of The Heart In My Twenty-Three Divine "Source-Texts" (and, Principally My Dawn Horse Testament) Is Based On My Divine "Consideration" Of The Means and The Stages Necessary For others.
(1.31) Every one Begins The "Consideration" and Practice Of The Way Of The Heart Without Immediate Resort To The More Complex (or Fully Developed, and Otherwise Technically "Elaborate") Practices Of Spiritually Responsible Devotion To Me, but That Earliest "Consideration" and Practice Should (Immediately, and More and More) Make Appropriate (and Right Contemplative, and, Thus, Feeling) Use Of My Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Person (or My Avatarically-Born Bodily Human Divine Form, and, Thereby, and Tacitly, My Avatarically Self-Revealed Spiritual, and Always Blessing, Divine Presence, and My Avatarically Self-Revealed, and Very, and Transcendental, and Perfectly Subjective, and Inherently Spiritual, and Inherently egoless, and Inherently Perfect, and Self-Evidently Divine State). Just As The Ordeal Of My Own Practice, Even Of self-Enquiry, Was Founded On Devotional Submission Of My Own Apparent self (or Heart-Surrender Of My Own Apparent and Apparently self-Contracted body-mind) To My Own Teachers and Spiritual Sources, Just So, any one who Seriously Heart-Recognizes Me and Heart-Responds To Me Via My Avatarically Self-Revealed (and Always Me-Revealing) Divine Word and My Avatarically Self-Manifested (and Always Me-Revealing) Divine Leelas Will Also (and More and More) Realize The Graceful Necessity To Embrace The Way Of The Heart As Just Such An Ordeal-As An Ordeal Of ego-Transcending Devotion To Me. By My Own Example, I Have Already Revealed The Form Of That Ordeal Of ego-Transcending Devotion, and I Have Summarized That Revelation In The Words Of My Twenty-Three Divine "Source-Texts" (and, Principally, My Dawn Horse Testament).
(1.32) In My Own Case, The Conscious Process Of self-Understanding, Persistent self-Enquiry (or Enquiry Into the self-Contraction), and The Effective Practice Of Feeling-Transcendence Of self-Contraction, Also Accompanied By All Of The Technical (or Yogic) psycho-physical Evidence Of Conductivity Of The Divine Spirit-Current, Gradually Characterized My Own Practice Of Great Heart-Surrender. The Entire Process Was Originally Generated On The Basis Of A Unique (or Heart-Awake) Insight Into The Core-Dilemma I Felt In The Midst Of ordinary life. That Liberating Insight Became More and More Effective Over time Via Numerous Incidents Of Sudden Extraordinary Re-Awakening, but, Even From Its Own First Moment Of Re-Awakening, That Insight Itself Directly (and With Inherent Effectiveness) Transcended The Motive To Seek An "Answer" To The Presumed "Question" Of egoic (or self-Contracted) Existence, or A "Solution", In The Form Of Acquired (or conditional) experience or knowledge, To The Presumed "Problem" Of life.
(1.33) I Spontaneously, but Gradually, Developed The Total Process Of The Understanding (and The Transcending) Of the ego, The Practice Of self-Enquiry (In The Form "Avoiding Relationship?"), and The Total Process Of Ultimate Awakening (From self-Enquiry and Re-Cognition To Transcendental, and Inherently Spiritual, Divine Self-Realization, and Transcendental, and Inherently Spiritual, Divine Self-Recognition) During The Many Years Of My Own Ordeal Of Re-Awakening. The Consistent Formal Practice Of self-Enquiry and Non-verbal Re-Cognition Did Not Formally Characterize My Meditation Until The Last Year Of My Ordeal Of Realization (and That Practice Quickly Brought My Ordeal Of Realization To An End). Nevertheless, All Of My Years Of Practice Were Founded On The Same Basic Insight (or Heart-Awakening), and Those Years Were Punctuated By Sudden Great Moments Of Awakening and Sudden Great Leaps Of Understanding.
(1.34) One Such (and Early) Incident Of Heart-Awakening Occurred Quite Gently (but Most Profoundly), In a moment In which I Was mindlessly Regarding My Right Hand, Observing The (Apparent and, Suddenly, Revealing) Contrast Between The Natural (or Open and Functionally Relational) Attitude Of The Hand and The Unnatural (or Contracted and Functionally Dissociated) Attitude Of The Clenched Fist.
(1.35) The Natural Sign Of the human body Is Relatedness, Not Separateness and Independence!
(1.36) Therefore, When This Sign Convicted The Heart, The subjective Commitment To self-Contraction Was Spontaneously Released. In that moment, There Was A Quiet Revolution In the body-mind. I Knew The "Always Already" State. And This Began A Period Of Pondering, Which Eventually Became Random self-Enquiry (or Enquiry Into the self-Contraction, which Appears, In action, As The Avoidance Of Relationship). And Random self-Enquiry Eventually (and Spontaneously) Became Formal self-Enquiry (In The Form "Avoiding Relationship?") In Meditation. And, In Meditation, Formal self-Enquiry Became Formal, and Spontaneous, and Non-verbal Re-Cognition Of self-Contraction. And, In Due Course, The Process Of self-Enquiry and Re-Cognition, and, Thereby, The Feeling-Transcendence Of self-Contraction, Became Constant, In Meditation, and In daily life, Until, When The Efforts and The Effects Of The Avoidance Of Relationship (and Every subjective Trace Of self-Contraction) Were Transcended, There Is The Tacit Certainty and Self-Illumined Awakeness Of "I Am Consciousness" (or The Real and Self-Existing and Self-Radiant, or "Bright", Condition Of Transcendental, and Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine Being Itself).
(1.37) My Earliest and Most Basic Practice (Of Which self-Enquiry Was Only An Extension) Was An Example Of What Is Traditionally Called "Prapatti"-or Simple, Direct, Non-Technical, and Unconditional Surrender To Whatever Is Always Already The Case (Without any believed concept Of "What" That Is, or any previously acquired commitment to any specific means to be employed). It Was Not A Practice informed by any conventional religious philosophy, or by any traditional Spiritual philosophy, or by any inherited "God"-concepts. (As A Result Of A Profound intellectual and emotional Crisis, I Had Despaired Of all the religious and philosophical conventions that Were Proposed To Me In My Youth.) All That Was Possible For Me Was The Real Practice Of Divine Ignorance, or Spontaneous (Random, General, and Unpredictable) Submission To The Unknown and Unknowable (and Yet Realizable) Condition In Which the conditional self and the conditional world Are arising in every moment.
(1.38) I Soon Enjoyed A Profoundly Essential Insight Into The Felt Dilemma and The Urge To Seek That Characterize the born (or conditional, and psycho-physical) self. It Became Clear To Me That The Feeling Of Dilemma and The Urge To Seek God, Happiness, Fulfillment, or Release Via The Acquisition Of experience, knowledge, or any condition (or conditional object) at all Are Not, In Fact, The Means For The Realization Of Truth Itself. I Understood That The Problem-Feeling and The Urge To Seek Are Not A Program For The Actual Discovery Of Truth, but They Are Merely Symptoms Of A Curious Disease. I Observed That These Symptoms, Which Tend To Characterize every moment Of ordinary Existence, Are, In Fact, The Evidence Of the very state that Must Be Transcended If The Truth Itself Is To Be Realized. It Was Clear To Me That The Feeling Of Dilemma and The Seeking-Urge Are Nothing More Than A Confession That God, or Truth, or Happiness Is Not presently experienced or known. And This Seemed Remarkable To Me.
(1.39) If God, or Truth, or Happiness Is Sought On The Basis Of A Problem (or The Feeling Of Dilemma), Then God, or Truth, or Happiness Is Always Projected Into future time, and The Realization Of God, or Truth, or Happiness Is Made conditional, or Dependent Upon psycho-physical events. This Stood Out To Me As Nonsense, or As An Absurd Proposition.
(1.40) My Own "Consideration" Was This: God, or Truth, or Happiness Must (Necessarily) Be Reality Itself, or That Which Is (Necessarily) Always Already The Case. Therefore, I Observed That The Felt Dilemma and The Urge To Seek Are Simply The Absurd Confession That God, or Truth, or Happiness Is Absent Now. And I Observed Further That The Signs Of Dilemma and Seeking Are Not A Program For The Actual Future (or Eventual, and future-time) Realization Of God, or Truth, or Happiness, but They Are Merely A Means For Preventing Actual Present (or Inherent, and present-time) Realization Of God, or Truth, or Happiness. The Feeling Of Dilemma and The Urge To Seek Are Actually The Evidence Of A Disease, Which Is the conditional (or psycho-physical) self In its Chronic Contraction Upon itself, and In its Symptomatic Non-Realization Of Reality Itself (Which Is, Itself, God, or Truth, or Happiness).
(1.41) Indeed, It Became Clear To Me That the "ego" (or the conventional "I") Is Not an "entity" (or an Independent and Static "thing of being"), but the "ego" (or the conventional "I") Is the Chronic and Total psycho-physical activity of self-Contraction, Always Associated With Concrete Results (In the psyche, mind, emotion, body, and their relations). And the self-Contraction Can Always Be Located (In any moment) In Feeling (As Fear, Anxiety, Stress, and All Other Kinds Of Reactive emotions and Blocks In The Flow Of Natural bodily energy In The Circle Of the body-mind).
(1.42) It Became Clear To Me That The self-Contraction Is the Complex limit on Natural bodily energy, and (In The Case Of The Degrees and Stages Of Spiritual Awakening) On The Divine Spiritual Energy, In The Circle Of the body-mind. Therefore, the self-Contraction Is (Ultimately) a Complex limit On The Inherent and Self-Existing Spiritual Radiance Of Transcendental Divine Being. And Perfect Freedom, or Inherent Happiness, or Inherently Most Perfect Real-God-Realization Is A Matter Of Direct (or Inherent, or Native) and Inherently Most Perfect (and Inherently Most Perfectly ego-Transcending) Identification With The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Condition Of Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine Being (or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Consciousness Itself), Which Identification Is Allowed Only (In Due Course) By The Real Practice Of Always present-time (and, In Due Course, Most Perfect) Transcending Of The ego-Act Of self-Contraction.
(1.43) It Became Clear To Me That The self-Contraction Is Un-Necessary. The self-Contraction Is (Without Ultimate Necessity, and, Therefore, Only Apparently) Being "Added" To Existence Itself (In Reaction To Cosmic Nature, or To Apparent conditional Existence). The self-Contraction (Originally) Coincides With and (Effectively) Perpetuates The Apparition Of Cosmic Nature Itself-and The Presumption That Existence Itself Is merely conditional (or Merely Apparent), and Not Founded On (and, Altogether, Dependent Upon-and, Ultimately, Characterized By) The Dimension Of Unconditionality (or Of Unconditional Existence). Therefore, the self-Contraction Is (Originally, and Also In Effect, or conditionally) Un-Natural, Because it Superimposes On The Transcendental, and Inherently Spiritual, Divine Self (or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Consciousness Itself) A False View Of Both Cosmic Nature (or conditional Reality) and The Divine Reality (or The Most Priorly Real, and Entirely Non-conditional, Self-Condition and Source-Condition).
(1.44) It Became Clear To Me That, When what Is Un-Necessarily Superimposed On Reality Is Released, What Stands (or Remains) As The Obvious Is (Necessarily, or Self-Evidently) Reality, or The Real Condition Itself.
(1.45) That Is To Say, Whatever Is Always Already The Case Authenticates Itself (Directly, Inherently, Obviously, and Perfectly).
(1.46) Therefore, self-Transcendence Necessarily Allows The Revelation Of The Transcendental, and Inherently Spiritual, Self-Condition and Source-Condition As The Self-Authenticating (or Inherently and Obviously Real and True) and Most Prior (or Self-Evidently Divine) Reality and Truth!
(1.47) This Heart-Awakened Insight Was, In My Own Case, Instantly Liberating! And, As Such, It Became The Real Practicing Basis For A Progressive (and, At Last, Most Perfect) Revelation (or Re-Realization) Of My Own (Inherent, Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, and Self-Evidently Divine) Condition-Which Is Reality, Truth, and Happiness!
(1.48) The Insight Itself (or The Unique and Inherently Liberating Understanding Re-Awakened At The Heart) Directly Coincided (or Arose Simultaneously) With A Practice That Was Thereafter To Be The Most Basic Characteristic Of The Way Of My Life (and Which Was To Re-Awaken Full and Most Ultimate Realization). That Practice Had Two Primary Aspects. The First Was Profound Submission Of attention and all the energies of the body-mind To Observe, Feel, and Feel Beyond the self-Contraction. And The Second, Which Coincided With The First and Ultimately Superseded It, Was Direct Communion (and, Ultimately, Inherent Identification) With The Native (or Prior) Condition That Is Simply and Directly Obvious When the self-Contraction Is Transcended (or No Longer Effective As A Mechanism Of Dissociation From What Is Always Already The Case).
(1.49) I Observed That The Sense (or Feeling) Of "Absence", or The Sense (or Feeling) Of The Non-Presence Of God, or The Sense (or Feeling) Of Separation From God, Truth, Happiness, or What Cannot Even Be Described, Is Not Evidence Of The Real Absence Of God, Truth, Happiness, or The Indescribable, but It Is Clear Evidence That the conditional self Is Contracting, or Actively Separating From What (Simply, Merely, or Really) Is.
(1.50) I Named This Disease (or the Diseased self) "Narcissus", Because Of The Likeness Between This self-Program and The Ancient Myth Of Narcissus. And I Became Attentive In every moment To This Feeling Of Absence, Of Separateness, Of Dilemma, and The Urge To Seek.
(1.51) Remarkably, In every moment Of Such Observation, I Felt The Non-Necessity (As Well As The Deluding, or Binding, Effect) Of the self-Contraction-Such That A Spontaneous Release Occurred In every Such moment. That Is To Say, I Observed That It Was Un-Necessary To Presume or Suffer or Be Motivated By the self-Contraction In any moment Of My Direct Observation Of it. And, In That Observation, A Deep Spontaneous Response Of self-Release Was Awakened. And Whenever That Release Of self-Contraction Occurred, That Which Is Always Already The Case (Previous, and Most Prior, To self-Contraction) Stood Out As The Obvious.
(1.52) Over time, What Is (Previous, and Most Prior, To self-Contraction) Was Revealed More and More Profoundly. And As That Revelation Increased, There Was Also The Spontaneous and, Otherwise, Progressive Unfolding Of The Many Extraordinary Phenomena That Are Characteristic Of Each Of The Seven Stages Of Life.
(1.53) The Process Of That Revelation By Stages Was Not Developed Only On The Basis Of Insight (or self-Understanding) and Spontaneous self-Transcendence, or What I Call The "Conscious Process", but It Was Equally Associated With A Developing Response To What Was Being Revealed. Thus, It Also Involved What I Call "Seeing" (or Fullest, and Spiritually Activated, emotional, and Total psycho-physical, Conversion To True, and Truly Responsible, "Conductivity" Of The Self-Revealed Spirit-Power Of Divine Self-"Brightness"), and Conversion To What I Call "Divine Ignorance" (or Spontaneous Identification With The Inherent Love-Bliss-Condition Of Native, or Divine, Being-Whenever The psycho-physical Presumption Of knowledge, or "I know what this or that Is", Was Effortlessly Released).
(1.54) What Is (Always and Already) Is Revealed Only When the self-Contraction Is Not Effective. It Is Revealed To Be Self-Radiant (or Inherently Spiritual) and Transcendental (or Self-Existing) and Self-Evidently Divine Being-Which Is Reality, Truth, and Happiness. Any and every conditionally Manifested "I" Always Already Inheres In That Self-Evidently Divine Self-Condition, Both At The Level Of Self-Existing Being (or Consciousness Itself) and At The Level Of every Apparent (or conditionally Manifested) psycho-physical function, process, or state. Even the body-mind Is Only An Apparent Modification Of That Self-Existing "Bright" Divine Self-Radiance In Which every "I" is arising.
(1.55) When This Realization Was Most Perfectly Re-Awakened In My Own Case-all beings, this world, and all the kinds of other worlds Were Revealed In Me, Inhering In Me, and Appearing As (Apparent) Modifications Of Me! And It Became Self-Evidently Clear That, By Virtue Of My Own Inherently Most Perfect Divine Self-Realization Of My Own Divine Self-Condition, all (Apparently "other") conditionally Manifested beings (Now, and Forever Hereafter) Can-By Means Of their Devotionally Me-Recognizing and Devotionally To-Me-Responding Heart-Devotion To Me-Realize What (and Who) Is Reality, Truth, and Happiness!
(1.56) Suddenly and Spontaneously, What I Had Forgotten By Birth Was, By Me, Remembered In The Midst Of Life-and The Avataric Significance and Divine Purpose Of My Own Birth Became Clear, Again, To Me: I Am The One Who Is Always Already The Case-and Even all beings Are In Me (Ultimately, Beyond All "Difference")!
(1.57) When This Truth (and Condition) Became (To Me) Obvious (As Truth, and As My Condition), The Avatarically Self-Transmitting Powers Of My Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Evidently Divine Person Spontaneously Became Active In and As My Divinely Self-Manifested (and Avatarically-Born-or, Avatarically, conditionally Shown) Bodily (Human) Divine Form, and My Avatarically Self-Revealed Spiritual (and Always All-and-all-Blessing) Divine Presence, and My Perfectly Subjective (and Very, and Inherently egoless, and Inherently Perfect, and Self-Evidently Divine, and Avatarically Self-Revealed) State! And I Became Heart-Moved To Forever Avatarically Serve The Most Perfect Divine Awakening Of The Total Cosmic Mandala Of conditionally Manifested beings!
(1.58) In The Later Period Of My Own Ordeal Of Spiritual, Transcendental, and Divine Self-Realization, The Basic Insight (or Heart-Understanding) That Already Informed My Practice Began To Express Itself Spontaneously and Randomly Via self-Enquiry (In The Form "Avoiding Relationship?"), and That Practice Was Itself A Sign Of The Great (and Most Fundamental) Capability That Must Awaken To Characterize The Practice Of anyone who (By Heart, and In The Way Of The Heart) Will Realize The Living (or Inherently Spiritual) and Transcendental Divine Truth Of Reality. That Great and Most Fundamental Capability, Which Leads To Divine Self-Realization, Develops From (or On The Basis Of) The Original and Spontaneous Urge To Observe and Transcend the self-Contraction. And That Great and Most Fundamental Capability (Awakened On The Basis Of Thorough self-Observation) Expresses The Clear (and Most Fundamental) Understanding That the self-Contraction (and Not The Real Absence Of Real God, or Reality, or Truth, or Happiness) Is The Only Reason Why Real-God-Communion (or Ecstatic, Tacit, and Direct Realization Of Real God, or Reality, or The Truth, or Happiness Itself, or The Real Condition That Is Always Already The Case) Is Not Enjoyed In the present. This Heart-Awakened Insight, and The Great Capability For Spontaneous Release That Extends From It, Were The Ground Of My (At Last) Free Surrender-and That Surrender Was Not Encumbered or Retarded By Dilemma, Nor Was That Surrender Made Fruitful By The Search Toward Any Goal.
(1.59) I Was Not Born To Be Projected Toward the future. I Was Avatarically Born-To Self-Reveal My Own Self-Evidently Divine Self-Condition, As That Which Is Always Already The Case In every moment. Therefore, Even In My Own Case, The Process-Of Ecstatic (or ego-Transcending) Communion (and, At Last, Inherent Identification) With That Which Is (In every moment Of ego-Transcendence) Divinely Self-Revealed (Self-Evidently, As That Which Is Always Already The Case)-Developed, Spontaneously and Inevitably, As A Progressive Unfolding Of The Characteristic Signs Of Each Of The Seven Stages Of Life.
(1.60) Such Is The Nature Of The Process In My Own (Avatarically-Born) Case.
(1.61) Such Is The Nature Of The Process Of ego-Transcending and Me-Realizing Devotion To Me As I Am.
(1.62) Such Is The Nature and The Process Of The Way That Only I Reveal and Give.
II.
(2.1) After Thirty Years Of Submission To conditional Existence, My Own Ordeal (By Which I Came, Again, To Divine Self-Realization, and Then Began To Teach The Way Of Adidam, Which Is The One and Only By-Me-Revealed and By-Me-Given Way Of The Heart) Culminated In Most Profound self-Enquiry (In The Form "Avoiding Relationship?"). In That self-Enquiry, The Act and The Results Of self-Contraction of the body-mind Were Loosened (In Merely Witnessing Consciousness, Itself)-and, At Last, A Spontaneous Divine Self-Revelation Took Place. In That Great Event, There Was Spontaneous Tacit Awareness As That To Which (and In and As Which) the self-Contraction, all thoughts, and all conditional appearances Are arising. In (and Forever After) That Great Event, Enquiry Into (and Re-Cognition Of) the conditional self (and its Tacit Underlying Root-Feeling Of Relatedness Itself) Was Spontaneously Replaced By Tacit Awareness As The Transcendental (and Inherently Spiritual) Divine Self (or The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Feeling Of Being, Itself-Which Is Consciousness Itself, or That Which Is Always Already The Case).
(2.2) In (and Forever After) The Great Event Of My Re-Awakening To My Own Divine Self-Condition, It Is Obvious (and Self-Evident) To Me (and It Can, By Means Of My Now, and Forever Hereafter, Divinely Self-"Emerging" Blessing-Grace, Become Obvious and Self-Evident To You, and To All and all) That I Am The Self-Evidently Divine (or Self-Existing, and Self-Radiant, and Most Perfectly Heart-Felt) Reality and Person Of Being (Self-Existing and Self-Radiant As Self-Evidently Divine "Bright" Consciousness, Itself)-and That (As Such) I Am Inherently Love-Blissful and Divinely Free. Even More, It Is Obvious (and Self-Evident) To Me (and It Can, By Means Of My Now, and Forever Hereafter, Divinely Self-"Emerging" Blessing-Grace, Become Obvious and Self-Evident To You, and To All and all) That all conditional appearances Are Only Apparent Modifications Of Me-and That No Such Modifications Bind or Change Me.
(2.3) After The Great Event Of My Divine Re-Awakening, conditional appearances Continued To arise, but Only As Merely Apparent (and Non-Binding, and Not At All Me-Changing) Modifications Of Me. As conditional appearances arose (and Were, By Me, Divinely and Inherently Self-Recognized As Me), The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Power Of My Own (Self-Evidently Divine) Love-Bliss Pervaded them all-Thus and Thereby Divinely Transfiguring and Divinely Transforming them. Now, and Forever Hereafter, The Inherent (or Native) Feeling Of Being (Itself) Stands Free, As Me-Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, and Self-Evidently Divine (Even In The Midst Of all Apparent conditions).
(2.4) Therefore, "Consider" This: Reality (Itself) is Not what You think. Thought is a merely Temporal abstraction (or A time-Consuming and time-Bound Contraction Of and From Reality Itself).
(2.5) Likewise, "Consider" This: The Cosmic Universe (or Cosmic Nature, Itself) is Not what You perceive. Perception is a merely time-Consuming and time-Bound Temporal and Limited space-time event, Associated With a limited and temporary space-time point of view (or psycho-physical self-Contraction).
(2.6) Altogether, "Consider" This: Reality Itself (and Cosmic Nature, Itself) Is What You Are-and Not what You think or perceive.
(2.7) What You Are Is Reality Itself (and Cosmic Nature, Itself).
(2.8) What You Are Is Obscured (and, Altogether, Diminished, Suppressed, and Hidden) By The Force and Effect Of Whole bodily (or Total psycho-physical) egoity (or self-Contraction).
(2.9) What You Are Is Realized and Demonstrated By Means Of The Really and Truly ego-Transcending (and Constantly Counter-egoic) Devotional Recognition-Response To Me (Avatarically Self-Revealed To You).
(2.10) The Transcending Of Your Own ego-"I" (or self-Contraction)-and, Thus and Thereby, The Transcending Of all Your limitations Of thought, perception, and space-time-Bondage-By Means Of The Devotional Recognition-Response To Me, Is The Necessary (and Only-By-Me Revealed and Given) Process Of Realizing That Which Is Always Already The Case.
(2.11) That Which Is Always Already The Case Is Who I Am.
(2.12) Only I Am What You Are.
(2.13) Therefore, You Will Realize What (and Who) You Are Only If You Realize Me (By Means Of The Devotional Recognition-Response To Me).
(2.14) Your thinking and perceiving person (or self-Contracted psycho-physical ego-"I") is Not (itself) Me.
(2.15) I Am Not "Within" Your psycho-physical (or thinking and perceiving) Knot Of ego-"I".
(2.16) I Am Always Already "Outside" (and Altogether Beyond) Your psycho-physical (or thinking and perceiving) Knot Of ego-"I".
(2.17) I Am You Only When You Really (and, At Last, Most Perfectly) Transcend Your psycho-physical (or thinking and perceiving) Knot Of ego-"I", By Means Of The ego-Transcending (and, Thus, thought-Transcending, and perception-Transcending, and, Altogether, point-of-view-Transcending and space-time-Transcending) Devotional Recognition-Response To Me (Avatarically Self-Revealed "Outside", and Altogether Beyond, Your psycho-physical, or thinking and perceiving, Knot Of ego-"I").
(2.18) You Are What You Are Only When You Really (and, At Last, Most Perfectly) Realize Me.
(2.19) I Am That Which Is Always Already The Case.
(2.20) Only I Am That Which Is Always Already The Case.
(2.21) Only I Am You.
(2.22) Therefore, Now (and Forever Hereafter), Always "Consider" Me."
I am sure that will not just be "swallowed" without a little gagging here and there, or maybe even the taking up of arms against the unspeakably profane (in whatever way it is seen)
Namaste!
