The
First Celibacy Consideration
Summer, 1979 — In the summer of 1979, Adi Da
began to talk about celibacy. He suggested that
if we cut out our “middle class indulgence” in coupling,
perhaps we would be able to really get down to the
spiritual practice. James Steinberg describes where
the consideration went from there.

The
Hole in the Universe: The Sacred Empowerment of
Red Sitting Man Fire Site
July, 1979 — In 1979, Avatar Adi Da created
and consecrated a holy site at the
Mountain Of Attention called Red Sitting Man.
It was there, in July of that year, that He Initiated
devotees into sacramental worship of Him in the
form of fire. Fire is one of the most powerful elemental
symbols of the Divine — a sign of Spirit, Light,
and purification. Ann Rogers recalls the potency
of the occasion in initiating her recognition of
Avatar Adi Da as the Divine Person.

Look
the Fire in the Eye
September 17, 1979 — On this hot
and dry day, fire
threatened the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary. Ben
Fugitt, a devotee caretaker of the Sanctuary, noticed
the initial tuft of smoke, and sprang into action.
He soon discovered that the fire was out of control,
and heading on a direct line for the Sanctuary. He
never anticipated the adventure Adi Da would involve
him in that day.
