Reality, Truth, and Conscious Light — A 90-Minute
Introductory Presentation on the Life, Teaching, and Living
Spiritual Presence of Avatar Adi Da Samraj. (More about this
intro event below.)
Wisdom Tools — Wisdom Tools seminars introduce
you to Adi Da's remarkable wisdom on key topics as it applies
to human concerns.
Seminar topics include:
an overview of the Wisdom Tool Series
The Dual Sensitivities Required for True Spiritual
Life — Adi Da instructs that in order for true spiritual
practice to begin there must be both the sensitivity to
our mortality and the futility of looking for fulfilment
in life as well as an intuition of our Prior Condition beyond
that.
The sensitivity to the mortality of existence and
the heart-impulse must strike against one another
at the heart and become an intense heart-fire.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Death is a Living Process — A helpful and informative
webinar presentation by members the Adidam Death & Dying
Ministry, on preparing for the death process and serving
others going through the death process.
I have called the process of death "easy death",
because that is what it can become. In order to
die free of fear, you must be in a different disposition
toward life altogether.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Transcending the Mechanism of Doubt — Doubt is
one of the core human emotions that creates separation from
others and the Divine. Hear and consider Adi Da’s simple
but profound discourse on how to transcend this powerful
mood.
We tend to associate doubt with some ‘thing’ we
feel negative about. Whereas actually doubt is a
mechanism that doesn’t have anything to do with
some object or thing to be doubted.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Transcending the Knot of Fear — Fear is one of
the strongest and most powerful of human emotions. Hear
Adi Da, in a compassionate but very direct way, address
a devotee who had suffered debilitating fear in his life.
Everyone is in the midst of an activity that is
generating fear. . . It's inherent in the presumption
of identification with the state of separateness,
change and inevitable death. You cannot get rid
of fear. The Way I have Given enters you fully consciously
into the Domain of Reality Itself, which transcends
that activity which generates fear.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Understanding Vital, Peculiar, and Solid Character
Strategies — Human beings develop what Adi Da calls
“character strategies” in reaction to the "vital shock"
of birth and identification with the body- mind. Discover
what your character strategy might be and how that strategy
dictates your expression of life-energy.
The three human types (vital, peculiar, and solid)
are a strategic play on life, or the Life-Principle,
conceived as dilemma or conflict.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Feel the Wound of Love — A profound consideration
about how to incarnate love under all conditions beyond
recoil and rejection.
Love Does Not Fail For You When You Are Rejected
or Betrayed or Apparently Not Loved. Love Fails
For You When You Reject, Betray, and Do Not Love.
. . Therefore, Love. Do This Rather Than Make Any
Effort To Get Rid Of The Feeling Of Being Rejected.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
The Traditional and Time-Honored Guru-Devotee Relationship
— At the center of all the world’s religions are individuals
who by their actual Realization of Truth, Reality or God
draw others into that Realization. This session will give
insight into how the relationship to such an Adept-Realizer
works and how it serves one’s own Realization.
The Primary force and “root” of all esoteric traditions
of human kind are the Adept- Realizers, those who
actually Realize the Spiritual and Transcendental
Nature of Reality.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
