Notes on the Adidam Mission poster: TheBeezone length: 07:55 date added: September 18, 2012 event date: 2004 language: English views: 3745; views this month: 27; views this week: 10
In 2004, Adi Da Samraj talks to devotee Peter Harvey-Wright about using the Devotional Prayer of Changes to serve the Adidam Mission. He distinguishes conventional "neurotic prayer" (in which a person relates to God like a big "Parent") from the Prayer of Changes, which requires not just visualization but a change in action. As part of that change in action, He mentions the "barefoot Mission" (a phrase meant to emphasize the one-on-one nature of a truly effective Mission). He also stresses the importance of an authentic culture of Adidam as essential for attracting new devotees.
Adi Da Samraj talks about the principle of egoity: how this principle underlies the Great Tradition; how it makes existence "samsara" (illusion), in which we imagine that we are living in the real world; and how understanding this principle is the key to the Way of Adidam.
This is an excerpt from the key talk, "Self-Understanding", given by Adi Da on April 8, 1993. More from the same talk here (text) and here (video).
