	The Wordless Condition Prior to I poster: DawnHorsePress length: 12:13 date added: February 27, 2013 event date: October 12, 2004 views: 326; views this month: 66; views this week: 17 On the evening of October 12, 2004, Avatar Adi Da not only answered His devotees’ questions (ranging from the capacity of discrimination to living a Divinely Purposed life), He also addressed the chronic self-reference "I" in the patterns of speech. He pointed out that there is no actual experience of such a one, though language and thought are built upon the illusion of a separate "self". Adi Da contrasted this ego-based condition to the Wordless and Thoughtless State of the Divine. This 12-minute excerpt is from the DVD, The Wordless Condition Prior to "I", which presents Adi Da's entire Avataric Discourse of October 12, 2004 (approximately 3 hours and 36 minutes altogether). tags: Avataric Discourse   DVD

To find out, listen to this CD set and learn about Adi Da’s singular seventh stage Way as He describes It directly and in the context of other genuine esoteric traditions.

Disc 1 is a collection of Discourse excerpts in which Adi Da clarifies His seventh stage Way by distinguishing it from other esoteric traditions. Disc 2 is a single Discourse in which Adi Da describes the signs and requirements of His seventh stage Way. tags: CD   Avataric Discourse   seventh stage

	The Unique Signs of the Seventh Stage Realization poster: delphiyes length: 19:38 date added: October 31, 2012 views: 499; views this month: 86; views this week: 22 Adi Da Samraj responds to a question from devotee Ruchiradama Nadikanta while she speaks about the Ashtavakra Gita, a text within the sixth stage tradition of Advaita Vedanta. Adi Da (at 2:30) clarifies the distinctions between the first six stages of life and the seventh stage Realization. He focuses on the distinction between the most advanced Realization of the sixth stage of life, sixth stage Sahaja Nirvikalpa Samadhi, and the seventh stage Realization. Sahaja Nirvikalpa Samadhi is demonstrated by Ramana Maharshi, for example, and suggested by texts such as the Ashtavakra Gita, the Ribhu Gita, and the Tripura Rahasya (all mentioned by Adi Da in this clip) which Adi Da calls "premonitory" relative to the seventh stage of life. Sahaj Nirvikalpa Samadhi differs from the less advanced trance samadhis of the sixth stage in that one recognizes conditional existence as arising in the Self, and one can function in the world open-eyed. Even so, there is still a separation between Self and world. The seventh stage Realization is signalled by the regeneration of Amrita Nadi, and the complete dissolution of any difference between Consciousness and Its Radiance. Consequently, the lifetime of the seventh stage Realizer is signed by a progressive Outshining of conditional existence that goes through four stages: Divine Transfiguration, Divine Transformation, Divine Indifference, and Divine Translation.

	The Quest for The Historical Self poster: TheBeezone length: 04:05 date added: October 31, 2012 event date: 2004 views: 232; views this month: 25; views this week: 6 In this discourse, Adi Da proposes that all human lifetimes are a “quest for the historical self”.

	Fear of Life poster: TheBeezone length: 05:50 date added: October 18, 2012 event date: September 18, 2004 views: 434; views this month: 28; views this week: 5 Adi Da speaks about the fear of death being a characteristic of life and identification with the body-mind. Adi Da relates this to the fundamental condition of ignorance and the nature of reality.

	Death, Fear, and Realization poster: delphiyes length: 26:49 date added: October 11, 2012 event date: September 18, 2004 views: 437; views this month: 26; views this week: 8 Adi Da Samraj takes a devotee through a consideration about death.

He then speaks of the transcendence of the body-mind and the fear-free State in which He abides and Which He offers to all. tags: Avataric Discourse   death
	The Five Declarations: Epilogue part 7 of The Five Declarations of Ultimate Knowledge poster: TheBeezone length: 02:47 date added: September 21, 2012 event date: January 6, 2006 views: 591; views this month: 42; views this week: 10 Part of an Avataric Revelation Discourse given at the Mountain of Attention Sanctuary, later published in Reality Is All The God There Is. Adi Da offers His unique renderings of the Dharma of the great sages of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, including Gotama Sakyamuni, Nagarjuna, Shankara, and Ribhu. Rather than simply translate their teachings from available source texts, Avatar Adi Da respeaks them as one who has personally realized their truth. He reveals that the Buddhist “Nirvana” and the Advaitic “Brahman” point to the same Transcendental Condition. Avatar Adi Da’s rendering restores to these texts the profundity intended by the Spiritual Masters who created them. tags: Avataric Discourse   Mountain of Attention   Free Rendering   Buddhism   Advaita Vedanta
