Adidam Academy

The return of philosophy to the situation of academy and to persons of Wisdom would seem to be a necessary cultural matter. What I have established — including access to the Sighting of Me, the Way of Adidam Itself, the body of practitioners of the Way of Adidam, the Sacred Places, My Written and Spoken Teaching, My Literary and Image Art, the history and stories of My Work — is such an academy. It is a circumstance of actual Wisdom-Teaching and Wisdom-Realization where people spend time in the Company of the Realizer. They are transformed by that relationship through processes not merely of verbal consideration but of Wisdom participation. They participate in Reality Itself.

THE GREATEST GIFT Seminar

Avatar Adi Da has created four congregations in order to make it possible for everyone to enter into devotional and Spiritual relationship to Him — both those who are moved to practice the Way of Adidam in the fullest and most profound manner (first and second congregations) and those whose life-circumstance makes it right and appropriate for them to practice a simpler form of the Way of Adidam (third congregation and fourth congregation). For each of the congregations, there are particular qualifications for membership and there is a particular form of practice of the Way of Adidam to be engaged.

The Greatest Gift seminar offers an overview of the sacred history of Avatar Adi Da's Establishment of the Third Congregation, a careful review of both the Eternal Vow of Devotion and the Third Congregation Vow, and an introduction to Beloved Adi Da's Eight-Part Admonition, which summarizes the devotional practice of all His Third Congregation devotees — all accompanied by plenty of time for discussion and questions.

The seminar is for applicants to the Third Congregation, public friends who are interested in learning more about the Third Congregation, former Second Congregation devotees who wish to reapproach through the Third Congregation, Mission Managers, Third Congregation Servers, and, of course, any Third Congregation devotees who wish to attend.

The sessions generally run for about an hour and a half — due to much lively Q & A. People who wish to take the course must register by writing to Anne via the Matrix or at anneh@adidam.org, stating their desire to participate. The US-based call-in numbers will be provided to those registered closer to the time of the seminar.

date/time: The next Greatest Gift seminar will be offered beginning on three consecutive Saturdays: February 11, 18, and 25 (2017). The time will be 12pm U.S. Pacific time, 3pm Eastern time, and 8pm in the United Kingdom.

registration fee: The cost of the course is $75 (US). There is no homework. Please make checks out to Adidam and mail to Anne Henderson at:
