Beezone editor and teacher Ed Reither interviews devotee and teacher Frank Marrero about the first stage of life (conception to 7 years of age), as taught by Adi Da Samraj.
They discuss the first stage of life and the maladapted aspect or tendency (beyond the first 7 years of life) towards unconsciousness in forms of behavior such as sleepiness, laziness and numbness. All first stage behaviors are bodily based and it is a stage of the development of bodily autonomy.
When well adapted to the first stage of life, one can rest with ease in the body in fullness. There is discussion about Adi Da Samraj's teaching that the first stage of life has reached a stage of maturity when the child breaks the bond with the mother (two as one) so they may enjoy relationship without dependency.
Adi Da Samraj teaches all His devotees to observe and understand their maladapted patterns in the first three stages of life while maintaining a living relationship with Him in each moment.
