Self-Contraction poster: TheBeezone length: 00:53 date added: November 30, 2012 event date: 2004 language: English Adi Da speaks about our failure to notice the Divine Reality and why this is so: self contraction of the body-mind as "Narcissus", the separate self.tags: self contractionAvataric Discourse
Sixth and Seventh Stage Realization poster: TheBeezone length: 02:35 date added: November 4, 2012 language: English Adi Da Samraj describing his Realization of Nirvikalpa Samadhi at Swami Muktananda's ashram in India in 1968 and how it differed from His Seventh Stage Realization in the Vedanta Temple in 1970.
The Quest for The Historical Self poster: TheBeezone length: 04:05 date added: October 31, 2012 event date: 2004 language: English In this discourse, Adi Da proposes that all human lifetimes are a “quest for the historical self”. He describes how this search is based on the activity of “self”-contraction — the erroneous presumption of an actual, defined, knowable “self”.
Fear is Native to self-Consciousness poster: TheBeezone length: 03:22 date added: October 18, 2012 event date: 1977 language: English Adi Da talks about fear, and the response to existence and the search that is the response to it.
Fear of Life poster: TheBeezone length: 05:50 date added: October 18, 2012 event date: September 18, 2004 language: English 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. He draws His listeners into considering that the ego has a more fundamental context than even death, as the most primal action of the human condition.tags: Avataric Discoursedeath
Escape From the Fear poster: TheBeezone length: 00:37 date added: October 14, 2012 language: English Adi Da on the fear and self-contraction that underlies every moment of egoic life.
Ego as Process poster: TheBeezone length: 00:35 date added: October 6, 2012 event date: 1972 language: English Adi Da describes the ego as a process or action, and our suffering as the result of that action ("pinching oneself"). Therefore, merely analyzing the "I" thought (for example) is not sufficient for self-transcendence. Transcendence of the act that is ego is a matter of counter-egoic behavior.tags: self-contraction comments: 1
The Spiritual Master as God poster: TheBeezone length: 02:08 date added: September 30, 2012 event date: October 1978 language: English Adi Da Samraj talks about the misunderstandings people can have about the ecstatic speech of the Spiritual Master.

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 DiscourseMountain of AttentionFree RenderingBuddhismAdvaita Vedanta
