-
"Course" as "Educational Unit"
— Everyone is familiar with this sense of the word.
-
"Course" as "Stream" —
This is a less familiar use, as in "the course of a river".
Adi Da describes His "Source-Texts" as "True-Water-Bearers",
or "Bearers of the 'True Water' of the 'Bright' Divine Reality
Itself". He indicated that all of His designated "Source-Texts"
are contained in a structure of twenty-three "Streams", or "Courses".
Each of the twenty-three "Courses" conveys a particular aspect
of Adi Da's Divine Avataric Teaching. Originally, Adi Da had designated
twenty-three "Source-Texts". Now that His Wisdom-Teaching
includes many more than twenty-three "Source-Texts",
each "Course" includes as many "Source-Texts" as appropriate for
that "Course".
The first Course is comprised entirely
of Adi Da's two principal Summary "Source-Texts": The
Aletheon and The Dawn Horse
Testament.
The remaining twenty-two Courses are divided into two groups:
- The Heart of The Adidam Revelation
— consisting of five Courses, which, together, present
a comprehensive overview of the entire process of the Reality-Way
of Adidam.
- The Companions of The True Dawn Horse
— consisting of seventeen Courses, each of which elaborates
on a particular topic from the first Course.
2. The First
Course
The first Course conveys Avatar Adi Da's Principal Revelation
of His Divine Avataric Incarnation and the Reality-Way He has
Given. It is the Summary of Avatar Adi Da's Divine Avataric Self-Revelation
of Truly human, and Spiritual, and Transcendental, and Divine
Reality-Truth.
 |
The Aletheon
— The Divine Avataric Self-Revelation of His Divine
Presence, Avatar Adi Da Samraj.
During the final two years of a Lifetime that had
been utterly devoted to the Communication of Truth,
Avatar Adi Da created His supreme Scripture — a book
of oceanic depth and magnitude. This final and greatest
Instruction by Avatar Adi Da spans over 2300 pages.
|
|
|
 |
The Dawn Horse Testament of
the Ruchira Avatar — The Testament of Divine Secrets
of His Divine Presence,Avatar Adi Da Samraj.
Avatar Adi Da's paramount "Source-Text", this Great Divine
Testament is unparalleled in its magnitude and depth. It
represents the fruit of Avatar Adi Da's Immense Work of
Teaching and Revelation over more than three decades. An
extraordinary Scripture, containing Avatar Adi Da's detailed
Revelation of every aspect of the process culminating in
Divine Enlightenment.

The Aletheon and
The Dawn Horse Testament
Are — with all the other "Source-Texts", or "True-Water-Bearers",
of My Twenty-Three-Course Divine Avataric Reality-Teaching
— the Summary of My Divine Self-Discoveries (Made
by Means of My Divine Self-Submission to Avataric Incarnation)
and My Divine Self-Revelations (Made by Means of My Avatarically

Way that He offers to all.
3.1. Divine Self-Confession

Avataric Revelation Of The True and Spiritual Divine
Person (The egoless Personal Presence Of Reality
and Truth, Which Is The Only Real God).
Adi Da fully Reveals Himself as the Avataric Incarnation
of the Living Divine Person and He elaborates on
the Spiritual significance of this All-Embracing
Divine-Confession, which is the foundation of His
entire Revelation of the esoteric Way of Adidam.
|
|
|
 |
The Boundless
Self-Confession — Essays from The
Aletheon.
Written only a few months before He
passed from the body (in November 2008), this book
brings to culmination a lifetime of Revelation writings
by the Ruchira Avatar about the eternal meaning and purpose
of His Appearance, revealing profundities that are ultimately
unfathomable. But the heart knows. "The heart",
as His Divine Presence says, "is where everyone comes
to Me".

|
 |
3.2. Guru-Devotee Relationship
 |
Ruchira
Avatara Gita (The Avataric Way of the Divine Heart-Master)
— The Late-Time Avataric Revelation of The
Great Secret of The Divinely Self-Revealed Way
That Most Perfectly Realizes The True and Transcendental
Spiritual Divine Person (The egoless Personal
Presence of Reality and Truth, Which Is The Only
Real Acausal God).
Adi Da offers everyone the ecstatic practice
of devotional and Spiritual relationship to Him,
explaining how devotion to a living human Adept-Realizer
has always been the source of true religion, and
distinguishing true Guru-devotion from cultism.

The Ancient
Walk-About Way — The Core Esoteric Process
of Real Spirituality and Its Perfect Fulfillment in
the Way of Adidam.
In this beautiful collection of essays — which includes
"Perfect Adidam", and "The Seventh Stage
Revelation", as well as some earlier Writing —
Avatar Adi Da draws the reader through a "consideration"
of the ancient tradition of heart-response to the living
Realizer, and of His Unique and All-Completing Appearance
in that tradition. Beloved Adi Da begins with a foundation
"consideration" of the Purpose and Principles
of the Guru-devotee relationship; He then communicates
how to cultivate life-conditions that allow the being
to enact its inherent heart-response to Living Truth;
and, finally, He describes the unique Signs and Qualities
of His Appearance and Offering, and of those who fully
heart-respond to Him.

The
Self-Authenticating Truth — Essays from

Truth and "Perfect Knowledge" that liberates
all minds and hearts from bondage.

Which Is The Only Real Acausal God).

The Nine Great
Laws Of Radical Devotion To Me —
Readings from The Aletheon,
The Dawn Horse Testament,
and Eleutherios,
as well as Selected Discourses and Spoken Instructions.
In the heart of all of Adi Da's devotees, there is
an absolute certainty that there is something greater
than self and world. That certainty comes from the Sighting
of Bhagavan Adi Da's Holy Form. Adi Da's Nine Great
Laws of "radical" devotion tell us how to live by that
certainty, which is Divine and Holy, by always manifesting
a sacred and right relationship to His Holy Person.
The demonstration of the Nine Great Laws of "radical"
devotion is founded in the awareness that Adi Da is
not localized to His Incarnation-Body. He Is His State.
He Is Samadhi — always existing as the Divine Conscious
Light.
|
|
|
 |
The Sacred Space
of Finding Me — The Cultural
Disciplines Practiced In The Sacred Domain of The Divine
Reality-Way of Adidam.
This book is fundamental and final Instruction from
Bhagavan Adi Da for the true and free devotional culture
of Adidam. It is compiled principally from The
Dawn Horse Testament, but also from other "Source-Texts"
and Avataric Discourses.

Surrender Self
By Sighting Me — Essays
on Right and True Devotion.
In these essays selected from The
Aletheon — completed by Adi Da Samraj in August
of 2007 — He gives succinct and potent instruction to
His devotees on the nature of the devotional relationship
to Him as it occurs in the Process of Realization in
His Company. Among the essays is Adi Da’s delightful
instruction in "The Way That I Teach The Dog In
My House". The priceless instruction contained
in this book illuminates the essentially non-verbal
process of spontaneous devotion to Him. He has described
this anciently-known process of turning to the Realizer
on sight as "the Ancient Walk-About Way".

|
|
 |
3.4.
Up-Turned Transcendental Spiritual Process
 |
Hridaya
Rosary — Four Thorns of
Heart Instruction.
A beautifully precise and exquisitely poetic description
of the Spiritual Process in Avatar Adi Da’s Company
— the devotional (and, in due course, Spiritual) relationship
to Him and the reception of His Spiritual Transmission,
or Spirit-Baptism. In breathtakingly beautiful poetry,
Avatar Adi Da Samraj sings of the "melting" of the ego
in His "Rose Garden of the Heart".
|
|
|
 |
3.5.
"Perfect Practice"
 |
Eleutherios
— The Only Truth
That Sets The Heart Free.
Eleutherios contains Avatar Adi Da's most esoteric
offering of the "Perfect Practice" of the
Way of Adidam. This "Perfect Practice" takes
place in the domain of Consciousness Itself, prior to
the body and the mind. Eleutherios is an address to
the great human questions about God, Truth, Reality,
Happiness, and Freedom.
|
|
|
 |
The Orders of My True
and Free Renunciate Devotees
This book is both a beautiful exposition of the nature
of Perfect Freedom and a practical guide to maintaining,
in perpetuity, the cultural integrity of the Way of
Adidam. Avatar Adi Da describes, at length, the signs
of true renunciation in the Way of Adidam and the means
whereby His Great Revelation can be carried throughout
all time.

Real God
4.2. Paradigms for a New World-Culture

Truly Human New World-Culture Of Unbroken Real-God-Man
— The Eastern Versus
The Western Traditional Cultures of Humankind,

Not-Two Is Peace
— The Ordinary People's Way
of Global Cooperative Order.
The uniquely comprehensive address to the global crises
of our time. The World-Friend Adi Da wrote Not-Two
Is Peace out of concern for humanity's current plight.
Not-Two Is Peace contains Adi Da's vital wisdom
on the root of human conflict: the limits and errors
of conventional religion and politics. He points to
the necessity of re-establishing human civilization
based on principles of mutual trust, cooperation, tolerance,
"prior unity", and the limitless participation of all
humankind in transforming its own destiny. Also included
is Adi Da's "radical" argument for transcending egoity
along with his urgent call to found the Global Cooperative
Forum—a new type of human order. This forum will allow
humankind to become conscious of itself as one great
coherent force—the only force capable of requiring and
implementing systemic changes the world needs. This
third edition is essential study for anyone concerned
about the state of global affairs.

Work of Divine Indifference —
Wherein I Constantly Abide Only As
I Am, in Divine and Avatarically Responsive Transcendental
Spiritual Regard of all-and-All.
Four essays in which Adi Da Samraj describes His perfect
Retirement into Divine Indifference, Free of any necessity
to Teach. That Retirement did not signify an "end" to
His Work altogether — rather, it was a Sign of His Freedom
to be entirely concentrated in His most profound Work
of forever Blessing all beings and things.

Transcendental Realist Literature and Art
 |
The Orpheum: The Tragic History of The Recent
Return of Orpheus, or, The First Room In Three Books |
 |
Book
One: The Mummery Book — The Parable of
Divine Tragedy, Told By Means of A Self-Illuminated
Illustration of The Totality of Mind.
The Mummery Book is an unfathomably profound
Revelation — a searing Criticism of egoity in its individual
and collective manifestations and a sublime description
of the Perfect Divine Avataric Incarnation. The Mummery
Book tells the story of the Great Sage, Raymond Darling
as he experiences the dreamlike events of his birth
and childhood; his love for, and tragic loss of his
beloved Quandra; and the "schismatic disaster" of his
subsequent imprisonment in a mental institution by his
own church for his radical beliefs. Unlike the traditional
Orpheus myth, the death of his beloved Quandra is the
crisis that begins Raymond's Perfect Realization of
Non-Difference, to which the rest of The Orpheum
Trilogy is devoted.

Book
Two: The Scapegoat Book — The Previously
Secret Dialogue On The Avatarically Given Divine Way
of Perfect-Knowledge-Only, Once-Spoken In A Single Night
of Conversation, Between The Captive Divine Avatar and
Great Sage, Raymond Darling, and His Captor, The Great
Fool, and False Teacher, and Notoriously Eccentric Super-Criminal,
Evelyn Disk—Herein Fully Given, Without Evelyn Disk's
Later and Famous and self-Serving Revisions, but Exactly
As It Was Originally Tape-Recorded, by Evelyn Disk Himself,
In The First Room, at the State Mental Facility, Near
God's End, and Presented in Exact Accordance With The
Recent Revelatory and Complete Recounting, Given To
The Waiting World of Intelligent and Receptive Persons,
By Meridian Smith, Who Was, As Usual, Inexplicably Present.
Adi Da wrote The Scapegoat Book in 2005.
The Scapegoat Book is a series of dialogues in the
state mental facility between Raymond Darling and his
captor-priest, during which the latter draws out, and
yet refuses, Raymond's teaching of non-duality, and
after which Raymond mysteriously disappears. The
Scapegoat Book is a masterful, poetic rendition
of how the ego tries to trap the Divine Person; the
Divine Person's Always-Standing Response to that entrapment
or "scapegoating"; and the Divine Person's Perfect Offering
which transcends all of that, and is the Perfect Inspiration
to go beyond all of that with Him. A book that delights
and amuses, critiques and cuts to the quick, again and
again. The Scapegoat Book is Adi Da's "re-working"
of the Ashtavakra Gita, reflecting the ego's
excuse-making for non-participation or mediocre participation
in the process of Divine Realization.

Book
Three: The Happenine Book — The Childhood
Teachings and The End-of-Childhood Revelations of The
Famous "Infant Sage", Raymond Darling—Compiled
from Raymond Darling's Original Handwritten Manuscripts,
and Privately Held Tape-Recordings, Discovered in The
First Room By His True Servant-Devotee, Meridian Smith,
After The Miraculous Disappearance of The Avataric Great
Sage.
Adi Da wrote The Happenine Book in 2006. It
is the last and longest book of The Orpheum Trilogy.
The Happenine Book again recounts Raymond's life,
teaching, and revelation, but this time through a posthumous
collection of manuscripts and tape recordings, augmented
by the Great Sage's paintings, drawings, and photographs.
This collection, left behind by Raymond "for all of
us to find", presents a kaleidoscope of narrative and
non-narrative forms ranging stylistically from traditional
to postmodern, each embodied as space-time capsules
of experience, or "happens", the identification with
which is an illusory presumption of the separate "self"
and therefore a fundamental error of human beings, which
must be transcended.

Crazy Da Must Sing,
Inclined To His Weaker Side — Confessional Poems
of Liberation and Love.
The poems in this book are the confessions of the Divine
incarnate, as lover and spiritual warrior. They tell
of Adi Da's lifelong struggle to Liberate beings from
the siege of Narcissus, or the mood and activity of
self-possession that prevents Enlightenment. The Enlightement
of beings is Adi Da's Divine Purpose, and the dramatic
play of His Work with devotees is the subject of these
poems. Adi Da wrote most of these forty-nine poems between
1971 and 1976.

Transcendental
Realism — The Image-Art of egoless Coincidence
with Reality Itself.
Adi Da's writings on the methods and purposes of His
art. This largely expanded edition brings together all
of Adi Da Samraj’s writings on art. It includes details
on the methods, meaning, and purposes of His work, His
penetrating insight into the present-day culture and
purpose of art, and specific recommendations on how
to participate ecstatically in art. Adi Da also intensively
considers the error of presuming oneself to be separate
from a work of art — He invites every individual to
be drawn beyond this illusion of separateness into the
ecstatic, living process of participating in His image-art.

The Reduction of The Beloved To Shape Alone
— The Effort Toward Abstraction, The Pure Present, and
The New In "Modern" Art, Psychology, and Philosophy—Especially
As Defined In The “Meaningless” Aesthetic Theories Of
Gertrude Stein.
The Reduction of The Beloved To Shape Alone
is Adi Da's study of early twentieth-century literature
and art, focusing on Gertrude Stein and painters such
as Cezanne, Picasso, and Mondrian. This study was written
as Adi Da's Master’s Thesis, in the English department
at Stanford University, in 1966. His primary interest
in writing this study was to address the implications
of the modernist effort to reduce art to sheer plastic
and technical manipulation of words or paint (or the
"medium," in any form), thereby achieving
a "meaningless" artistic communication. His
conclusion was that the effort to divest art of meaning
is a grave fault—a fault which is also generally evident
in the culture of the time (dominated by the "point
of view" of scientific materialism), in the increasing
"abstraction" from what is profoundly human
and, even more so, from everything spiritual and Divine.

Easy Death
— Spiritual Wisdom on the Ultimate Transcending of Death
and Everything Else
Whether you are approaching your own death, facing
the death of a loved-one, or are simply in need of understanding
the purpose of this brief and mortal life, you will
find in the pages of Easy Death a most extraordinary
and unique Help — Real Help, not mere consolation or
impermanent philosophy, given in the Wisdom, and in
the human Form, of Avatar Adi Da Samraj. For Adi Da
was born in and as and from the "Bright" Reality in
which there is neither birth nor death, and His entire
lifetime has been spent unlocking that Ultimate Condition
from limited views of the ego, in order to offer a way
for anyone to Realize It directly. His human body has
endured and "seen" the entire death process and all
the after-death states and has entered into What Is,
Beyond all of that. There is no greater Authority on
matters of death and ultimate transcendence.

Conscious
Exercise and the Transcendental Sun — The ego-Transcending
Principle Applied to Exercise and Common Physical Action.
Conscious Exercise and the Transcendental Sun
is a manual for those who practice the spiritual Way
taught by Adi Da. Through Adi Da's Grace, we know what
it is to look, feel, and be completely happy. Conscious
exercise is simply a way of practicing this whole bodily
happiness under all conditions, without reason. It utilizes
the natural laws of body, breath, and attention to realign
us, consciously and instantly with the "Transcendental
Sun". The disciplines offered in this book include
basic ways to stand, sit, walk, and breathe with energy
and delight; brief and natural routines of calisthenics,
hatha yoga, and surya namaskar; and a basic practice
of pranayama, or control of the life-force in breath
that can be done at random throughout the day.

book is in development, that will include additional
forms of conscious exercise that Adi Da has developed
over the years, including "Da Chi Gong" and
"Da Fours".

current language and Instruction.

Green
Gorilla — The Searchless Raw Diet.
Avatar Adi Da’s fundamental recommendation relative
to diet is the searchless raw (fructo-vegetarian) diet.
It is "searchless" in the sense that it is
simply lawful management of a body in Communion with
the Living Reality, free of the need to use food as
a means to solve any kind of problem or seek any kind
of ideal in body or mind.
|
|
|
 |
The Eating
Gorilla Comes in Peace —
The ego-Transcending Principle Applied to Diet
and the Regenerative Discipline of True Health.
You can always trust an eating gorilla. Having found
his food, he has put aside all effort and concern for
survival. He has surrendered his eccentricities, his
obsessive urges, and the tension in his most characteristic
qualities. He has become submissive to the ordinary
motive and desire that is real hunger, since he is now
certain of its satisfaction. He is essentially benign,
playful, even lovable. He is simply eating. And he trusts
any others who may be present or who may approach, as
long as there is sufficient food and they also stop
to eat it.
Human beings are not generally "eating gorillas".
Food is in doubt. Eating is no ordinary affair of hunger
and assured satisfaction. Trust, love, peace, and meditation,
the essence of the plainest fare when we are in our
natural ease, are now a rare occasion, a private matter,
for the gourmets and ascetics who populate our human
table. Food is only a ceremony, a link to Life and its
Source. When food is in doubt, so also are Life, Truth,
and the Divine. Food is a link to Eternal Life. But
happiness as Eternal Life depends on our ability to
be satisfied, at ease in our relations, surrendered
in love, and a sacrifice to Infinity through devotional
meditation, or release into the Current of Life to its
Source.

on emotional-sexual matters — including His compassionate
instruction on transcending negative sex-patterning,
emotional immaturity, and all forms of seeking through
sex and relationship. Adi Da calls all to a non-problematic,
positive practice that is compatible with the Transcendental
Spiritual process of Realization in His company.

The Seventh
Way — Readings from The Aletheon—The
Practice and The Realization of The Divine Acausal Reality-Principle.
These essays selected from The
Aletheon are among Avatar Adi Da's most sublime
and profound Utterances. Everything in this book was
originally Spoken by Avatar Adi Da, as spontaneous and
ecstatic discourse to His devotees — during the final
decade (from mid-1995 to mid-2005) of His immense outpouring
of Teaching-Instruction. During Avatar Adi Da's Years
of Teaching (from 1972 to 2005), He engaged those who
approached Him in thousands of hours of such Instructive
Discourse. That great period of Instruction spontaneously
came to a point of definitive Fullness in 2005, since
which time Avatar Adi Da has ceased to engage the mode
of Instructing His devotees by Speaking to them in response
to their questions.

Avatar Adi Da's extraordinary and comprehensive Instruction

Avatar Adi Da examines how the functional, practical,
and relational self-disciplines of the Divine Way of
Adidam relate to each of the five sheaths and to each

Reality Itself
Is the Way — Essays from The
Aletheon.
In these nine essays, Adi Da Samraj describes the reasons
for His Incarnation in the West and further distinguishes
His Way — of the Direct Revelation and Realization of
Reality Itself — from all other "seeking-'methods'"
found in the Great Tradition. Also included is a potent,
and sometimes poetic, consideration of the "Perfect
Practice", His irrefutable description of the inherently
destructive and "dark" nature of egoity, and
His Offering of the Means by which "everyone and
everything can be utterly transformed by being turned
. . . to Reality Itself".

4.15. "Perfect Knowledge"
Reality-Teachings
 |
The Gnosticon
— The "Perfect Knowledge" Reality-Teachings
of His Divine Presence, Avatar Adi Da Samraj.
"The Gnosticon" means "The Book of Knowledge". In The
Gnosticon, Avatar Adi Da examines the Transcendentalist
Teachings (Teachings about the nature of Consciousness)
of the Great Sages — associated with the sixth stage
of life — in light of His own Revelation of the Transcendental
Spiritual Reality-Way of Adidam.

|
 |
The Lion Sutra
— The "Perfect Practice" Teachings In
The Divine Reality-Way of Adidam.
In The Lion Sutra, Adi Da calls the reader to
transcend the "disease of separation and seeking" that
is the egoic self, and to "Swoon in Consciousness Itself."
This book is the most concise presentation of Adi Da's
"Radical" Argument —
"Seeking and attaining are a Total loss, and loss itself
is the Only discovery of gain", and a direct and uncompromising
invitation to self-transcendence and Divine Self-Realization.

Notice This
— The Five Reality Teachings of His Divine
Presence, Avatar Adi Da Samraj.
Notice This is a depthful contemplation of "Perfect
Knowledge", with Adi Da's "Five Reality-Teachings" as
the core structure of the consideration. Over half of
the book is never-before-published material, including,
notably, Discourses that Adi Da gave to a small gathering
of devotees at Tat
Sundaram Hermitage in late 1998 and early 1999.

The Basket Of Tolerance
— The Perfect Guide To Perfectly Unified
Understanding of The One and Great Tradition of Humankind,
and of The Divine Reality-Way of Adidam As The Perfect
Completing of The One and Great Tradition of
Humankind.
The Basket of Tolerance is a summary of the
collective wisdom and understanding of humankind.
Avatar Adi Da has revealed that all cultural traditions
are actually part of the "common inheritance"
or collective treasure of humankind, which He has named
"The Great Tradition." To truly understand
the human condition, and the history of the various
human cultural endeavors (both ordinary and extraordinary),
we must see all the traditions within this Great Tradition
as a single totality. To serve this understanding, Avatar
Adi Da has comprehensively organized works exemplary
of these traditions, both written and audio/visual,
into a library called "The Basket of Tolerance."
The organizing framework for The Basket of Tolerance
is Avatar Adi Da's paradigm of "the Seven Stages
of Life". This unique schema is not the product
of mere philosophical or intellectual speculation. Rather,
this model was developed on the basis of Avatar Adi
Da's own spiritual practice and Divine Self-Realization.
This model includes a thorough explanation of the esoteric
anatomy and physiology of the higher stages of psycho-physical
development as well as a complete phenomenological description
of every possible kind of Spiritual experience known
to arise in the course of the total process leading
to Most Perfect Divine Self-Realization in the context
of Avatar Adi Da’s unique Revelation, the seventh stage
of life.
Avatar Adi Da says, "If it is embraced in its
totality, The Basket of Tolerance should prove
itself to be a useful and valuable resource for right
study and right understanding of the historical traditions
of truly human culture, practical self-discipline, perennial
religion, universal religious mysticism, esoteric (but
now openly communicated) Spirituality, Transcendental
Wisdom, and would-be Most Perfect (or Divine) Enlightenment."

Reality
Is All The God There Is — The Single
Transcendental Truth Taught by the Great Sages and the
Revelation of Reality Itself.
Rather than simply translate the teachings of the dharma
of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, Adi Da respeaks them,
revealing that the Buddhist "Nirvana"; and the Advaitic
"Brahman" are the same transcendental condition. His
transmissions restore to these texts the profound communication
intended by their creators. The great sages proclaimed
a state of spiritual realization that exceeded worldly
dualism and mystical seeking. Their reality spoke of
abiding in a state of consciousness only. Avatar Adi
Da revives these declarations and reveals His own description
of a Transcendent Reality — the realization of Reality
As It Is, free of all forms of the ego.
