"Adidam non è un modo religioso" ("Adidam is Not a Religious Way") is a video excerpt from an Avataric Discourse, given by Adi Da on January 21, 2005, at Adi Da Samrajashram.
ADI DA: "Religion" belongs to a domain of efforts that are "point-of-view"-based, cosmological in nature, associated with myths of apparent Reality as perceived. None of that has anything to do with the Realization of Reality Itself.

Kiedy mówisz „ja” i „ty” uważasz, że jesteś tym ciałem. Wszyscy rozmawiają o tym, jakby naprawdę wiedzieli o czym mówią. Te imiona, które używają, tożsamości, które sugerują, to po prostu udawanie, wszyscy jesteście przebierańcami. Nikt z was nie zna, tego za kogo się uważacie, nikt z was nie zna ciało-umysłu, a mówicie, że nim jesteście. Nie możecie ogarnąć umysłu, nie możecie zobaczyć całego ciała, nie widzicie tego z każdego możliwego punktu widzenia, w każdym możliwym wymiarze, w którym to rzeczywiście istnieje, a jednak mówicie, jestem tym. Za kogo tak naprawdę się uważacie? Czego tak naprawdę doświadczacie, że daje wam pewność, że tym jesteście? Co jest definiowalne, oczywiste i w pełni doświadczane w każdej chwili?
"Czy wiesz kim jesteś?" ("The Perfect Condition Is") is a video excerpt from an Avataric Discourse given by Adi Da on July 7, 2005 in Land Bridge Pavilion at the Mountain Of Attention.

Adi Da Samraj discusses the notion of familiarity and its transcendence in the Way of Adidam.
This is an excerpt from a longer evening of consideration with Adi Da (October 29, 2004), which can be found on the DVD, The Illusion of Familiarity.
This talk excerpt is followed by a clip of Darshan of Adi Da (at 5:53).
This excerpt is from one the Adidam Revelation Discourse of November 6, 2004. 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”. His Discourse exposes that neither experience nor memory nor the sensations of the physical body actually define a separate entity. The “I” is a fiction, a lie—and Reality Itself is Self-Evident only when the activity of the “self”-contraction is transcended.
This excerpt is from the Adidam Revelation Discourse of October 24, 2004. A devotee's question about memory and a bicycle accident sparks Avatar Adi Da's Discourse about the nature of the human mechanism. Likening the mind to "cyberspace", Avatar Adi Da describes the "codes" human beings use to interpret perceptions and give apparent meaning to the "game" of life. He also exposes as an illusion the very presumption of being a separate, perceiving self. Adi Da Samraj calls everyone to relinquish the commitment to all presumptions and Awaken to that Realization which is not a state, but a Force that Spiritually Outshines all of illusory existence.
This excerpt is part of the longer DVD, Cracking the Code of Experience. Subtitles in English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, and Polish. A CD version is also available.

This excerpt is from the Adidam Revelation Discourse of October 20, 2004. In response to a series of questions about self-awareness, the nature of the “ego”, and how the self-contraction is caused, Avatar Adi Da speaks of the self-confinement of human beings (in contrast to non-humans as natural contemplatives), the effort to trace any experience or thought to its Source, and the Divine Reality as the True Condition of all things (not the “cause” of any thing). This Discourse concludes with Avatar Adi Da's confession of the direct and tacit “Point of View” of Divine Realization — the universe as Unconditional Light.
This excerpt is part of the longer DVD, The Divine Is Not The Cause. Subtitles in English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Chinese, Japanese, and Hebrew. A CD version is also available.

In this discourse, Adi Da addresses the fact that the assumption of a separate self or being, is not really the case. It is in fact an illusion and a "lie" that rules our entire life.
