The
human Spiritual Master is Divine Help to
the advantage of those in like form. When
one enters into right relationship with
the Spiritual Master, changes happen in
the literal physics of one's existence.
I am not just talking about ideas. I am
talking about literal transformations at
the level of energy, at the level of the
higher light of physics, at the level of
mind beyond the physical limitations you
now presume, at the level of the absolute
Speed of ultimate Light. The transforming
process is enacted in devotees in and through
the Living Company of the Spiritual Master.
The relationship between the Spiritual Master
and the devotee is not a matter of conceptual
symbolisms or emotional attachment to some
extra-ordinary person. The true Guru-devotee
relationship is real physics. Therefore,
because they can make unique use of the
Offering of that person's Company, it is
to the special advantage of people when
some one among them has gone through the
real process of transformation that makes
a Realizer-Guru of one or another degree.
And that advantage is unique in My case,
because that process has Completed and Revealed
the total cycle that becomes Divine Self-Realization.
Spiritual
life has nothing to do with the childishness
people tend to dramatize in relationship
to the Spiritual Master. I criticize that
childish, or dependent, approach more directly
than most people do. Others are merely petulant
about it, in the self-righteoous mood of
adolescence. But there are real reasons
why both the childish and the adolescent
approaches to the Spiritual Master are forms
of destructive nonsense and must be overcome.
However, the mature, sacrificial relationship
to the Spiritual Master is absolutely Lawful
and necessary. Those who object to that
relationship might as well object to the
relationship between the Earth and the sun.
Most
people are willing to sacrifice things,
but not themselves. They are willing to
pay cash, in other words, for a quick salvation.
Such "religious consumerism" is
an ancient ritual of worship, but it is
false and futile. True worship is the sacrifice
of your own body-mind in Truth, in the Living
and transforming Company of the Spiritual
Master. People absolutely resist that sacrifice
because they know nothing about it. They
are subhuman in their present level of adaptation.
Sacrifice represents another stage of evolution
for them. In their present actual, literal
psycho-physical condition they are incapable
of it. They must be drawn out of that limited
condition, and into another state of existence.
And it is as far to go from where they are
now to ultimate Divine Self-Realization
as it is from the amoeba in the primal mud
of the Earth to a human being. Everything,
even the body, must change dramatically.
There
is a profound difference between the condition
of the usual individual and the Condition
of the fully Awakened individual. The difference
is an inconceivable leap in evolution. But
there is a real process for making that
leap, and there is Help for it: the devotional
relationship to Me, the Adept Spiritual
Master. In other words, something in the
physics of the universe makes it possible
for a single apparent individual to pass
through the entire affair of Divine Self-Realization,
and then to bring others into the Sphere
of the same Divinely Enlightened Existence,
so that they may duplicate that Divine Condition.
Therefore, just as the relationship to the
Spiritual Master (of one or another degree)
is the supreme Principle of Spiritual life
in general, the relationship to Me is the
Supreme Principle of the Way of Adidam.
True
Spiritual life is not just a change in your
mind. Much more than an inner awakening
or a good feeling about everything must
take place. The literal physics of your
whole existence must change. The physical
body and its energies must be literally
transformed. Spiritual processes do not
occur as a result of the subjective nonsense
of vicarious belief and vicarious salvation
that people usually associate with religion,
as if real Awakening were just a matter
of asking some silly question or going to
a few lectures for the weekend.
That
is not Divine Enlightenment. Divine Enlightenment
is a literal change of the whole body. When
you have acquired the human form, the literal
change that must occur in the body is not
really so much in your outward appearance,
because you already have the necessary structure.
The changes that must occur are literal
psycho-physical changes, just as literal
as if you were to acquire more legs and
arms, except that the most dramatic changes
occur in dimensions other than the shape
of the body. Certainly changes occur in
the flesh and the elemental structures of
the body, but those changes do not really
alter the body's outward shape. The changes
are as literal as evolving from a dinosaur
to a human being, and they are as dramatic
as that, but they principally occur at more
subtle levels of the physics of the conditional
being. There are literal changes in the
nervous system, literal changes in the chemistry
of the body, literal changes in the structural
functioning of the brain.
You
cannot realize such changes in a weekend.
They are a living process of growth. But
they can be quickened and intensified through
right practice, through real sacrificial
discipline, in the Company of the fully
Awakened Spiritual Master. Therefore, in
My Company, the Divine Condition is Communicated
to you in such a way that It Effects a "radical"
transformation in the disposition of the
body-mind and then Magnifies the effectiveness
of that disposition many times, so that
the whole Process may take place even in
a single lifetime, or at least be dramatically
advanced in one lifetime if not completely
fulfilled.
I
have Described the full esoteric progression
of this remarkable transformation in the
literature of My Wisdom-Teaching. My Description
is not based merely on an intellectual synthesis
of things I have read and thought. The entire
Way of Adidam is My literal experience —not
only the complete preparation, but also
the awakening of sensitivity to the Divine
Life-Energy, including the full Kundalini
process, the elaboration of subtle sounds
and lights via the awakening of the brain
centers, all the great archetypal visions,
everything. I have had all the classic Yogic
experiences, from the muladhar (the lowest
terminal of the body-mind at the perineum)
to the upper reaches of the mind in the
brain core. Eventually, it became evident
that the "muladhar-to-sahasrar game"
(or, really, the raising of attention from
the muladhar to the ajna center, with contemplation
of the "sky of mind" in the direction
of the sahasrar), whether played through
the extended bodily and psychic processes
of the Kundalini awakening, or through the
higher path of the awakening of the brain
centers through meditations on subtle light
and sound, is not the Way of Truth. it became
evident that the Realization of Truth is
the Most Perfect sacrifice, not only of
the lower or gross, level of existence but
also of the whole subtle (or etheric, lower
mental, and higher mental) elaboration of
experience and function, and even of egoic
seclusion in the causal level of existence.
Thus, in My case, ultimately there was Perfect
Realization of the Heart of Consciousness,
or Divine Self-Realization, Which is an
Awakening Beyond the limits of exclusive
conscious awareness, into unqualified God-Realization.
That
I have had all these extraordinary experiences
and also Enjoy Unconditional Awakening as
My constant Condition is a great Opportunity
for all others. My Realization and My Wisdom-Teaching,
therefore, bring the significance of all
the patterns of existence into a clear unity,
so that the whole affair of human existence
can be approached rightly. The Realization
of the Inherently Perfect Intensity of Truth
continues as My Very Existence. It is not
and could not have been a passing experience.
And the Power of It is available for the
transformation of others, if people will
enter into devotional relationship with
Me.
If
you move into a relationship with Me, the
Divine process begins to duplicate Itself
in your case. It is not as if you are a
robot that is being transformed through
the effect of some computer — no. The process
is a living and human relationship with
Me. But it is not like the conventional
doctor-patient and mommy-daddy-baby games.
Irresponsible people cannot enter into it.
You must be responsible for yourself at
the human level, and in a profoundly uncommon
way. You must live the discipline of ordinary
life. You yourself must be love under all
ordinary, daily conditions. You must make
this change in your life. There is no way
whereby you can be relieved of this necessity,
and nobody can do it for you. Nevertheless,
all of that ordinary responsibility simply
prepares you for the right relationship
to the Agency of the Divine in My bodily
(human) Form. Such a One As I Am is your
unique Advantage, because I Am Present in
the same kind of bodily form as you — manifested
in the same kind of physical condition,
the same kind of nervous system, the same
kind of brain. But in Me all these things
are Raised to an Absolute level of Functioning,
so that your entering into Communion with
me brings changes even at the level of the
psycho-physical body that you present to
Me.
The
abstract Deity cannot serve you in that
way, because the physics of this Process
must be directly Present, and the human
Demonstration of the Process must be Present
in a Form that can do its Work in your case.
That Work is My Purpose, because I Represent
a State of the ultimate physics of things
that is your potential but not your actuality
at the present time. The abstract Divine
and the potential powers of the universe
are just as true as the Spiritual Master,
but they are not organized (except in the
case of the Spiritual Master) for the sake
of the immediate transformation of human
beings. If people enter into right relationship
with Me, they begin to Realize the same
transformations I have Described in My own
case. Then, at the end of My physical Lifetime,
My devotees will have gone through sufficient
transformation that some among the community
of My devotees can become the extended mechanism
of My Function.
I
Am the Awakened Servant of humankind. I
Serve to Regenerate the Teaching of Truth
and to Resurrect the great culture of compassion
and Wisdom among men and women. However,
those purposes are secondary aspects of
My Service to men and women. They are emanations
of My Divine Self-Realization and My Ultimate
Function. My True and Ultimate Function
is to instigate the superphysics of literal
and Most Perfect God-Realization among My
true devotees. If there is no duplication
of that superphysical Process, there can
be no true Continuation of My Blessing Work,
except in verbal form, because there can
be no Living Agency.
Without
such Living Agency how will that Process
take place in the future? Perhaps, as in
the past, people will resort to the pieces
of it that men and women of experience represent.
People can always experience a little Yoga,
a little psychism, a little internal energy,
a little insight. But when the Total Representation
of Divine Self-Realization is Demonstrated
in the literal bodily (human) form of one
individual, you must make use of it. It
is an Advantage that is unique in human
time.
