	The Dreaded Gom-Boo poster: delphiyes length: 14:23 date added: December 4, 2012 event date: 1982 views: 355; views this month: 53; views this week: 6 An audio talk from 1982 accompanied by images of Adi Da. This talk was later published in the book, The Dreaded Gom-Boo. This talk considers that all religion seeks to cure us of an unreal disease, which Adi Da humorously calls the "Dreaded Gom-Boo". This disease is our constant presumption that we have somehow "fallen from Grace" and are in need of the salvatory "cure" of religious belief. Adi Da uproots this religious conceit and illusion by Confessing (based on His Own Realization) that we are always already present and alive in and as Divine Being. The "good news" of Adi Da's Way of Adidam is that, in present Communion with the Divine (made available through Adi Da's Spiritual Transmission), we need not seek to be cured, but must only feel, observe, understand, and renounce the very activity of seeking itself, and thus be restored to our native Happiness and Freedom.

	Sex, Laughter, and Real-God-Realization poster: DawnHorsePress length: 03:21 date added: August 18, 2012 event date: September 7, 1975 listens: 623; listens this month: 45; listens this week: 13 Audio excerpt from Adi Da's talk, "Sex, Laughter, and Real-God-Realization" (now available on CD). Sexuality, humor, and Awakening to the Divine Condition are three forms of ecstasy, or unbounded feeling, that disrupt the conventional sense of “order” in society. Pleasure undoes the body. Humor undoes the mind. And Realization undoes the sense of “self”. The Fullness of Real-God-Realization Comprehends and Transcends the limitations of social norms, spiritual presumptions, and self-identification, granting the capability of Real Happiness and True Freedom. tags: CD

Questions from devotees about intimate, familial, and social issues are met with Avatar Adi Da's Compassion and Humor, as well as His Liberating Wisdom.

He Calls for and Transmits the most profound understanding possible of human life and sacred practice. The complete talk is available as a DVD from The Dawn Horse Press. tags: Avataric Discourse   mummery   DVD
	The Way of Fun poster: DAbase length: 54:00 date added: October 19, 2010 event date: 1987 listens: 1311; listens this month: 39; listens this week: 9 Adi Da's very humorous and wonderfully instructive talk from 1987, The Way Of Fun, about how, after being around His devotees, He "finally got it", that "it's time for the Siddhas" to adapt to modern times, "time for the Truth to change". This new way ("The Way of Fun") — for realizing God without requiring self-transcendence — will "require nothing of you except to really dig those Divine Vibes." The talk is Adi Da's wonderful reflection of how the ego is always trying to revise the Way into something that is self-fulfilling rather than self-transcending, something that has no requirements and no difficulties, and that takes no time at all. "So whatever kind of association you have with Me . . . as long as it's fun, you're happy to do it. But if it requires anything of you, your resistance comes on immediately."
