Adano70_1ScienceofthePsalmsQ3NW4 - … came to be called a book of prayers or praise or in the Yogi science they call it mantra. Mantra is a form of prayer affirmation which you repeat over and over or you chant it, the basic science behind it is repetition which is known in some language to represent the word Japa or Simran, it simply means repetition. Now Yogananda said if you take sound and repeat it over and over it has the effect of spiritualizing the sound until you become identified with the sound then you and the sound are one and the same. Now “in the beginning was the Word” and that is sound and “the Word was with God” that’s in consciousness and “the Word is God,” the two are identified as one. When the human being does the same identical thing he has brought into focus the power of God on a human level for the first time. The Book of Psalms is designed to bring about this application in daily life but if you look at the spelling of the word psalm we see a very interesting phenomenon, if we spell the word P-S-I-A-L-M we have Psi-alm, the word is spelled P-S-A-L-M and A-L-M in English is alms or aid and P-S would be a certain type of aid, the Psi, so we are in a sense saying to ourselves we are generating extra sensory aid, Psi or psychic aid, and psychic means that which is outside of the range of the sensory nature. If we can generate this aid by understanding it then we have to understand the mechanics to generate it. Now human brain cannot generate any force by itself simply by stating it and forgetting it, unless that brain is trained to concentrate and to forget immediately there’s no human being has that type of capacity to think of an ID, release it immediately, and forget it. This takes a great deal of concentration and training and meditation to be able to think of a thought and forget it immediately and let it come into manifestation. So psalms are repeated to bring up that potential force, to spiritualize that force and set it in motion, and if we generate it we become identified with it sooner or later. What we are aiming at in understanding the psalms that they can only function or work for us if they are done in a repetitive manner otherwise they don’t have the power simply by ordinary individuals who will just repeat it once and forget it, they can’t, we (inaudible) and the Psalms were not written by ordinary men, they were written by initiates especially the Psalm of David the author of the book of the Psalms sometimes referred to David but there are over 150 psalms and only 73 are accredited to David. We say accredited that means it’s possible that David might have used them, it’s not possible that David might originate them, you see. We don’t know if David really originated the psalms, there’s no evidence of that but it’s possible that David did use them, did bring them into consciousness and apply them. Now, but this is by far the larger number than those ascribed to any other author, there is also responsible for the early collections of psalms, for literature purposes in the services of the sanctuary. So we see that David was also a student of Mantra Yoga in a form. Now Yoga anti-dates Christianity and its Judaism way back into time, there is no evidence when Yoga ever began and the sound knowledge of the initiate life no one can actually trace its origin so if David had to use it, he had to have it from some other source. Now David had to be descended from a lineage of people who were practicing some science so we go back to other authors specifically mentioned, Moses. Now Moses antidated David so Moses might have brought these psalms with him, now where did Moses get these psalms? He didn’t just go up into Mount Sinai and suddenly came up with the inspiration, he was also trained in the Egyptian knowledge so the psalms must have antidated Moses too: Solomon, Asaph, and the sons of Asaph and the sons of Kore, Heman, Ethan, and a Babylonian captive. Now you see the Psalms are already attributed to other people who are non-Jews too, approximately 50 psalms are anonymous, no one knows their origin or who contributed them. What is known as in precautionary psalms are the cries of the oppressed for justice that represent the righteous desire for vengeance upon their foes. In their literal meaning the spirit of Christianity frowns upon their use but they were appropriate for the spirit of the age and the conditions of Israel when they were written but then again we do not understand the psalm if we are judging it from the so-called Churchanistic view. The psalm is not written primarily in a literal sense, it’s written in three levels: physical, electrical, ideational, and the only way you can understand them you have to be an initiate to understand its mechanics and see how it really works to bring about extrasensory aid. Now we can drop the eye from the word P-S-I-A-L-M and end up with P-S-A-L-M and making it easier to pronounce in English, psalm. So the theme of the psalm, though they’re a collection of 150 constitutes prayer and praise, prayer means to affirm, praise to mean identify or become one with and they are the prayer and praise or affirmation or identification of the people of Israel. They are indeed revelations of Divine Truth, subtle workings of the consciousness of the mind, written not abstractly but in the terms of human experience so this had to be an initiate life, it was not assumption, it was something that had to happen in their lives and that they were able to apply and work with. They are filled with spiritual truths brought into the emotions, aspirations, sufferings, hopes, and faith of individual authors so these were actual psychic experiences, they were emotional experiences and they were spiritual experiences and often the experience of those experiences by people of Israel as a whole, the whole nation had to take part in it. In as much as circumstances and experiences of which they were wrought were representative of the common experiences of God’s people throughout all time, the Book of Psalms is really an inexhaustible treatise of religion. Now it doesn’t say what kind of religion, the Book of Psalms deals with the science of religion, religion as a science, therefore we see now we are going back to what yoga really is, mantra yoga or the science of sound forces is the real science of religion, the science of sound, how sound comes into manifestation, how sound is utilized by the human being, and how sound sustains the universe. 0:10 There is no other religion but the religion of sound and light, “No man has seen God but felt His presence and the sound declared Him” that means the Realized Man, he alone declares what God is to every man because the realized man has to realize God first before he can declare what God is, he alone can confirm God for you. You can be experiencing God and knowing not Him not if you’re experience and don’t even know the slightest understanding what is the experience yet you’re experiencing Him all the time. Until someone who understands the experience and can confirm it for you or declare it to you, you would have no concept, no understanding, and with greater spiritual fervor and call to modern religious life than this marvelous Hebrew hymn book, it is loved, used, revered by Christendom university. Within these holy poems every element of revealed religion is found: law, history, prophecy, satisfaction, sanctification all with the dominant elements of praise and prayer. From the all holy utterances men have always found spiritual communion with God, aspiration, faith, hope, and assurance. In other words the psalms is the book of affirmation on a positive scale of how to apply top patterns to raise or lower the effectiveness of your consciousness on your environment, how to modify situations in the environment that confront you. First we’ll take Psalm 1 because this is the most impressive psalm, has been placed at one, no one knows the reason why it was given the first place but what is unusual about it it’s called the Psalm of the Happiness of the Godly. Godly people are supposed to be happy and how they achieve this happiness, since it’s a prayer and a praise then it’s an affirmation and a oneness and this induces or releases happiness individual who is attuned. It starts out with the word blessed, “Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitted in the seat of the scornful.” Now this is very specific type of behavior for a human being who is confined to an environment that challenges every emotional nature that you’ve got, every feeling, every quality, aspiration to bring you into a state of blessedness or happy. We can say it in another way and instead of saying “Blessed is the man,” we can say “happy is the man that does not walk nor seek the counsel of wrong thinking people,” negative people, “nor stand in the and join in their company.” That’s the way of sinners, getting together and backbiting or criticizing, “Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful” or join together and criticize or judge, that man is happy if he don’t find himself in that type of circumstances. So happiness for the true mental health is achieved by an individual not involving with people who try to tear down others, criticize or become scornful of one another but “his delight,” now a delight is a joy, that man is happy and joyful now, “in the law of the lord.” Now the law of the lord is love, if you are happy and joyful, you’re going to express love, there is nothing greater than this expression of love from joy and happiness, these three forces come into manifestation: happiness, joy, love they go together. The person is happy, the person is joyful and he expresses love and that would be his delight but his delight is “in the law of the lord and in his law that is in his love that he meditate day and night.” Now the Maharishi had nothing over these people, once we come to the word meditate we find it’s the first word being emphasized what a Man must do day and night, it covers every period of his existence, meditation is not a new thing, it is the actual communion with the spirit. God is spirit, we cannot worship Him outside of the spirit and meditation is that spiritual power which we bring to the surface from within ourselves day and night. Now meditation is not prayer, it’s a big difference between prayer and meditation. We pray when we send out the thought asking the Creative Intelligence or the Divine Consciousness for something expecting it to happen. So prayer is a sort of a transmission of a broadcasting nature but this is specifying something else, “meditate,” this is something you have to be in the receiving end. “Happy is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly or standeth in the way of sinners nor sitteh in the seat of the scornful but his delight is in the law of the lord,” he finds joy by doing something, by being attuned. Now a law is something we obey, we don’t tell the government how to make laws, a law is set into motion and we obey, we are not constantly making it, we are constantly obeying it or adhering to it. If we are obeying it or adhering to it, then it’s something that we have surrendered ourselves to and something that we are attuned to and something that has come into our nature as a part of ourselves, we have made it a part of our existence. So the delight would be the obedience, the delight would be the involvement, the delight would be the utilization of it, the experience of it. So, but his delight is in the law of the lord and in his law, in this particular adherence, this particular observance or expression of it, “that he meditate day and night,” does he surrender himself to it day and night, does he attune himself with it day and night, so what is he attuning himself to? He’s attuning himself to love, the principle of love, and “he shall be like a tree,” that would follow as a result. If you adhere to a certain principle you would be like some distinct permanent function, you’re a man of the truth, you’re a man of the law, you would be staunch, you would be self-erected in it. A tree that supports or adhering, it will obey, it’s not going to fall over overnight, something you can rely or trust seeing it there, standing in the ground. “He be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,” well if a tree is planted by a river and the water is pulling it and it don’t have any proper roots before you know the tree will be torn down by the currents but if it has proper roots and it’s nourished, that tree is staunch, sturdy, upright. So this constant surrendering, day and night, tends to strengthen the consciousness and it’s watered by it because it’s close to the source of nourishment “that bringeth forth his fruit in his season.” Everyone has got a certain time or certain period in which to realize his true nature, that’s the fruit realizing your true nature, the season is that particular time. No two people can realize themselves at the same time, each one of us realize it at different times. This is because we are all unique, we’re all different, we’re all functioning with different attitudes needs desires. 0:20 “And his leaf also shall not wither” that means that portion of the individual nature, the leaf is the nature of the plant which you recognize it the foliage, the covering, “it shall not wither” that means it don’t break down. The character, the nature, or the characteristics of the human being don’t wither away or easily dismayed or aggravated, if it’s synchronized with the spirit it maintains less coverage, it maintains this outer shape, its outer behavior, it has strength for the first time and “whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Now this is an unusual statement, if the plant is nourished and the leaves don’t wither it stands to reason that it’s going to bloom and when it bloom you’ll have fruit. That reminds me of my boy tomato plant, someday it’s going to bloom and we’ll have tomatoes. As long as the leaves aren’t withering that says pure life is going on, he’s going to have good vibrations eventually he’s going to have fruit. This is true in the spiritual life, if you are maintaining that attitude of meditation (Adano sneezes, somebody says “bless you,” and he blows his nose). Whoever receive that tape, I hope you enjoy it the sneeze and all the karma being burnt out at the same time. “Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” meaning that the moment he’s attuned with this spiritual principle, the divine consciousness opens the door and he finds himself allowing this thought pattern to flow in and manifest for him. Now this is the very first three verses of this psalm but you can’t have one type of person without the other, you can’t have one type of behavior without the other, we live in a dualistic existence, you have to have something to compare with. We have different thought patterns, we have thought patterns that are positive and thought patterns that are negative, we have thought patterns that produce a certain result and when they’re positive and they have a thought pattern that produces something if they are negative, we see the thought pattern of positive people or happy people what it will produce, it will produce prosperity, attunement, and oneness with the spirit. Now let’s see the thought pattern of the opposite, what would be the result? So you can compare only by comparison you have an evaluation and you have a decision because you can’t make a decision without an evaluation truly to be a part of it. It says now “the ungodly are not so but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away” that is the individuals who are not attuned, who are not turning inward, who are over engrossed in the senses and they say ungodly means they’re a person who is living in his sensual or sensory nature, who feels totally dependent on the senses, they are like chaff in the wind and they’d be driven away, there their senses will toss them back and forth, they will be a victim of what is called mind wandering. The individual who is negative you will see them by their behavior of body patterns, they are figeting, searching for something, never satisfied, never happy with one idea or a few moments of inner peace or inner calmness where they are, they are constantly reaching out searching for something else, never coming to completeness of joy in the one thing they’re involved with before they start something else. They have what we call the grasshopper mind, they start eating an apple then they’re ready to eat a pear and before they eat the pear they’re ready to eat a squash, never having a complete meal out of any one of these three things before you know it they’ve eaten about 60 different objects and they are totally dissatisfied. So we call that the ungodly mind or the untuned mind, the untrained mind, the mind wandering. Therefore “the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment” that means they can’t stand the test when they’re confronted, they’re easily swayed and broken down by pressure, environmental stress causes them to collapse, the mind wanderers. Since the mind has a tendency to wander, it has no strength therefore it cannot utilize right sense of judgment, therefore it will make mistakes based upon this wishy-washy action. Now “sinners in the congregation of the righteous” meaning they can’t congregate with people of right thinking, they can’t stand to be near people who think right. If you get one right thinking person and two not right thinking people, you’re gonna have a tug of war. One will say “you gotta eat meat” and the other say “you gotta drink alcohol” and what are you trying to be, a teetotaler, don’t drink or eat meat? So they’re going to try to sway you to their way of thinking and before you know it this is a constant battle going on between you and them. Equally thought patterns of desire cravings are going to be in conflict with yours, they’re going to be constantly drawing you to waste away the energy inside of your mechanism but they can’t help you if you get sick, they will lead you down the merry path to fill your senses, to get sick, and when you do get sick they can’t help you. Sometimes you’re lucky that they get sick before you or vice versa you get sick before them and that’s not such a good deal after all so the pirate once said when he was shot after flying around eating the corn when he was enticed away from his Master’s home, “bad company, bad company, bad company.” So human beings have a tendency to trick us to their level intentionally or not intentionally simply because they are in that level of mind wandering, if they are capable of raising your consciousness up all the time then your consciousness will be stable. Now we see in the sixth verse he says, “For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Now the way of the righteous is what way? If the Lord knows the way of the righteous what does the Lord really know and what is the way of righteous? The Lord really knows only one thing, love, and His way is surrendered to that love. That means become attuned and identify to that love but “the way of the ungodly shall perish” because if you don’t have love to start with, you’re going to have hate, hate will lead to anger, anger lead to violence, and violence will lead to complete decimation of yourself, that means to perish, you will actually destroy yourself through your own wrong thinking. Now love will lead to only one thing, expansion, multiplication, improvement, and finally establishment or identification, permanency, therefore it does not go out of existence. Love tends to produce something permanent whereas the opposite would tend to produce something that is not permanent and it will be destroyed by its own nature, we see this in human behavior. 0:30 So the two types of people that are really existing according to Sri Yukteswar are the godly and the ungodly, the negative or the positive, the negative people are those who are constantly thinking constructively to destroy themselves, interesting huh? How negative people think constructively to destroy themselves, you never did realize that negative people can constructly think to destroy themselves, negative people are drawn by their ideas, by their wishes, their desire patterns, and they construct many games with themselves to avoid being identified or to become stable. They create many games to become detached from being involved with something constructive for a positive nature but get involved in constructing things that will tear down, criticize, or continue to criticize, eventually tearing down their own selves. Now such attitudes are often called by the lawyers premeditated, “the man premeditated the murder of his brother,” you see it’s something that he pre did. Now you use the word pre-meditate, it isn’t pre-think, it’s interesting how in legal terms we come back to the word premeditated murder, it was premeditated by the individual, constructively set up to negatively destroy himself. If we understand that then we can see what type of people we are dealing with all the time, we are dealing with negative people who tend to construct patterns of thinking to destroy themselves, if we are positive people, we are constructing patterns to lift ourselves up. Now what is interesting about this psalm, it ends right there describing the two type of people in the universe, it doesn’t go any further. (Inaudible) number one psalm starting off telling us that the two types of individuals that exist around us, it’s an outright affirmation of what you have to deal with as a human being, those who constructively generate thought patterns to destroy others and those who constructively generate patterns to lift up others, there are only two types there’s no more. Now if you’re involved in the construction of tearing down yourself, you are considered negative or ungodly. If you’re involved in constructing to lift up others thereby lifting yourself up, you are called godly or positive thinkers. Now the results of the two are different types of happiness, both people get happiness, negative people get a sort of happiness to see others fail, they are sick but they’re happy when you see others fail because they would like to go around making others fail simply because they might have failed at one time and could not succeed and they would do like the fox who got a his tail caught in the trap and bit off his tail and ran and told all the rest, “bobtail foxes are better looking than those with a natural tail” so he wants everybody to join the group because he lost his tail you see. Now the natural fox don’t see that as a real truth because he’s born natural to live with his natural tail, why should he want to chop off his tail just because of misfortune so the negative person sometimes find joy in getting other people involved in negativeness. We see this in addiction or individuals who try to addict others to their way of negative thinking. In today’s society we find your dope pushers, dope peddlers, are constantly trying to induce other people all the way down to utilize the substance to tear them down and that’s where they get their joy and they get their livelihood out of it. Now you look at the opposite of the scale, those who are constantly combatting or trying to lift up others, what are they really doing? They have to get a joy too but now in the two joys we come back to a statement in the scriptures, “The joy of the unrighteous and the joy of the righteous” that means the joy of right thinking men versus the joy of the wrong thinking men. Now the joy of the wrong thinking men will perish because there is no way wrong thinking men can surpass right thinking men but they are powerful enough, powerful enough to even make us feel their presence and threaten us with their presence unless we stand firm like the tree rooted in the waters, nourishing itself and at the same time capable of withstanding this tremendous current and pull of that water. There’s nothing as strong as water moving against the earth, against something that will push it away. Now this anchor is really anchored, the right thinking man has got to stand on those type of ground, a ground that is treacherous, a ground that is not firm but it’s got to be anchored in such a way that it’s not carried away, you’ve got to have some ideal to which you are rooted to in order to withstand the unrighteous thinking of men, the negative thinking of men. Now our well wishers often wish that we are good by saying, “Poor Johnny, he’s doing so bad these days. Poor Mary, she’s making a mess of her life,” we hear them, they’re wishing us well by calling us poor right away you know. We are creating constructively the destructive powers that go on to hurt these people, people are constantly generating these thoughts by saying it into the atmosphere and affecting others. Now the right thinking person would not refer to another person as poor because the right thinking person wants the other person to prosper and it states “that the right thinking person should prosper,” this is the fruit of his thinking. So if he wants the prosper, he wants every other person to prosper so he has to think of every other person prospering in that dimension. “Therefore the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish” that doesn’t say he does not know the way of your negative thought pattern, he knows the way of negative thought pattern, consciousness is aware, but anything that is negative will sooner or later rot. Now let’s say you’re a negative person and you have two sacks of potatoes, one sack starts to rot and one sack remains good, no matter how negative you are, would you eat the rotten potatoes? You can be very negative but you know that these are absolutely no good for consumption, you will throw it away. If in your own consciousness as a human being, negative or positive you will not consume that substance, then how can you expect thought patterns to be sustained by people around you and how can you expect yourself to be sustained and live in the world with people around you to a full experience, sooner that you’re gonna discover that you are destroying yourself, you are creating social suicide, negativeness will generate social suicide at one time. It may take a long time but eventually this pattern is there, the God-self knows that, it knows the difference between the two patterns of existence. One pattern must destroy itself or finally stop acting that way, the other pattern will sustain itself. 0:40 Now we got Psalms number two, it’s called the Kingdom of Christ. We’re not talking of Jesus, we’re talking of the intelligence in nature, the Christ’s intelligence in nature. “Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing,” that’s a strange statement, “why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing.” We just discovered that there were two types of people, right thinking people you call that Godly and the negative thinking or the ungodly, now all of a sudden we got the heathen, how did he get in the picture? Somebody is different than the heathenm what does the heathen really mean? Audience: (Inaudible) is that ignorance of God? Adano: Yes, when we refer to a heathen, we refer to someone who is ignorant of the principles of life, God. So they say why do the heathen rage, that means get into frenzy, why do negative mind wandering people get into states of frenzy and “the people imagine a vain thing” and the people around start to assume that his frenzy or rage is real but it’s not real, it’s just a vain act, it’s only a projection of his low emotional nature. So it goes on to describe the heathen raging and the people’s imagination about the heathen, the non-right thinking individual is going to set up mind wandering in the environment and assume certain types of position about themselves and sooner or later would create discord. So here we go on it says now, “The kings of the earth” those individuals who are at the head of nations or ruling individuals, “set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His anointed.” Politicians detest the fact that a religious order is the basis of a continuous prosperity in a nation, church and state are in conflict already, it’s not a new idea, it’s as bold as Man will always be. He cannot see the particular reason for governing by a divine order, he’s got to set himself as a king, as a ruler apart, from the rest and take counsel how to act governing people so there is that conflict against church and state, the two are in conflict. Now here is a mantra or an affirmation that is dealing or a science of the thought pattern that is dealing with church and state and it tells you how we should do it. Our politicians and the counselors will do this setting apart, they take council against the Lord and against His anointing that is they don’t accept divine authority and they don’t accept the individuals who are attuned to this authority in consciousness. Now there’s a big difference between a priest and a realized man coming forward in the form of a prophet or a wise man to help mankind, the church and the state are in different situations now. The church may be a church functioning as an organization but it may not have a realized man at its head (gap in tape)… what they would do with the leaders of the church, “Let us break their hands asunder, let us break their hold upon our society.” You don’t literally mean go take the priest and smash his hand you know, the society has got a stranglehold upon it by the church, we saw this in Mexico when the church came and had a stranglehold upon the Mexican people and the councillors of Mexico or the men in political power literally broke that stranglehold. “Let us break their hands asunder and cast away their cords from us” that means let us break this churchianistic hold upon society and remove the strings that tie them to us, the roots from where they came from, their origin, free us from this. “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in the region.” Well this is what happened in Mexico at one time when the church was slaughtered by politicians, the priests that came there they were not allowed to carry on, after a long while church and state separated to the point that there was no ceremony performed in the country except it be in secret then it came along in Russia and some other countries, this is still going on, the constant conflict between church and state. Now, “then shall he speak unto them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure.” The highest consciousness will cause the politician to be more and more malicious or more and more vindictive in suppressing the activity of the church, we find this a great deal in the dictatorial environments. Now when you come to your democratic environments you see the situation there’s a counter balance, there is some degree of communication, some degree of association between church and state, they are retaining some of their power and working with his power together. “Yet have I set my king upon thy holy hill of Zion,” this statement indicates that the leader is attuned to the Father, it’s a big difference. “Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion” that individual or leader of the state is in attunement with God, he is not setting himself apart or setting up himself as a ruler over a country without the direction of God or opposed to God. 0:50 This individual is asking God to guide him through the entire reign of his country or rulership of his country, that’s a vast difference when we begin to see how the church and state will now come together. “I will declare the decree,” I will make this statement, “the Lord hath saith unto me, ‘Thou art my son.’” Now this is the highest combination of priest/king, realized/king, they were such men at one time, kings who were fully realizing Saints, kings who were Masters in their own right. “This day have I begotten thee,” for instance there was a king called Janak of India, he was a fully realized man and a king at the same time. Buddha, he was a king, a prince, and he was fully realized. Krishna, he was a king and he was fully realized. Ashoka, he was a king and he was fully realized. There were many, Solomon was a king and he was realized, you see in the whole spectrum of history some kings were realized. Audience: Well what happened to us? Adano: What happened to us? We deviated from it because we did not understand it. Now here is what happened, “Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Ask of me and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession” but how we respond to that promise, how we make use of that promise makes all the difference of where we are today. If we misuse that utterance or that promise, we are in a position in which we are in conflict with the divine law, if we didn’t abuse it and we use it correctly then we will not be in conflict with the divine law, we would really be experiencing now a higher form of spiritual life within the government, we would be experiencing it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: So we ourselves too are walking the way of the ungodly, we have been bound by our own man-made laws, hamstrung by them. “Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Now, “thou shalt break them with a rod of iron,” that means by determination and love and will and courage, you can put the negative individuals to flight if you stick up for your rights but if you don’t, they will be in possession. “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron,” if you have the will of iron, if you have the determination to stand up for the rights, “thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” If we have the determination to get involved and take an issue as to the rights of individual in a free society, we can make these negative individuals who tend to trap us with our own laws fall apart like a crockery pot, it will fall apart, they don’t have anything substantial. You notice he used the words, “a potter’s vessel?” A crockery pot makes the most noise when it’s empty. Now you remember the woman who petitioned the courts for the purpose of not having prayer in the school? She made a big noise about it but substantially did she had anything to replace it or substantially did she have anything to offer in terms of human being and its behavior pattern? So she was nothing but an empty vessel making the most noise but we did not have the will like iron, we do not have the determination to stick by our faith in ourselves, therefore we were weakened by the thought pattern and we lost out, we were destroyed by our own thinking, we have to get back to that thinking which we can be like a rod of iron which is determination, we got to be more determined. You know we are actually producing a race of people totally unafraid to do good or more afraid to do good, which is it? Audience: Well I think it would be all in the way we look at it, I think they have more courage than we have. Adano: If we’re unafraid to do good then we will not be afraid to face the issue, if we are afraid to do good we will run from the issue. Now if our people are afraid to look at themselves objectively no matter what ideas come up, we can face the issue and come to a better agreement than to give into the ideas that would tend to destroy us ethically, morally, and spiritually or physically. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Consciously and unconsciously both they’re doing it. It’s like a child, it sees a revolver on the table, it does not know the danger of the revolver, it’s loaded, but because it’s enticed it wants to reach up to play with it. The parent knows that a gun is loaded and it can kill but it tries to take it away and the child is offended because the parent can use it and the child can’t use it. When a child comes of age to use it, it would be a different thing, he can be trusted with it. Equally true when individuals who have no sense of the workings of the human consciousness and spirit and body are allowed to dictate the behavior patterns of society as a whole in terms of how Man should evolve, those who are in a position to have the right perspective or vision should they let them take hold of that particular legal weapon then anything that happens to us after that is our own mistake, our own fault. The only way that the untrained individual can create a problem is to have legislation organize itself around the ethical systems of living that would be impossible for ethical people to survive but when you want to be truly evolving and to know how to evolve, you have to have this consciousness to see it and correct it. Audience: So when they grow up spiritually then they would make the change. Adano: They will be able to take over and handle it properly, you see it’s that sense of direction that we have to impart to the individual. 1:00 Now comes the admonition, it tells us what the kings have done, it tells us what the church and the state have done among themselves, they split themselves apart and they have left themselves in a state in which those individuals who don’t have an iron will are defeated but those who have an iron will stand triumphant then the admonition to the king is not admonition to the priests, admonition to the king because they have triumphed. “Be wise now therefore o ye kings, be instructed ye judges of the earth,” you see political authority backed up by legal order, king, judge be wise. In other words you are judged now about and by your behavior in terms of ethics. “Serve the lord with fear and rejoice with trembling.” Well the fear implied here is not the fear that we know it to me, it was the old hebrew word meaning respect, awe. If we have no respect or awe for the legal framework that governs our behavior as a discipline then we become lawless, we take the law into our own hands and eventually we will destroy ourselves, this is the meaning of he who lives by the sword will perished by the sword. He who lives by this self-motivation of an uncontrolled mind will destroy himself by that same self motivation, we must have some type of order or organization to maintain balance in us. “Serve the lord with fear and rejoice with trembling,” now the trembling don’t mean it’s illness. When you rejoice you tingle all over, have you ever rejoiced and feel happy and how do you feel? Like your whole body is shaking, vibrating, right? It is this particular type of shaking that has been inferred, trembling, you know it’s like it feels so good (Adano hums “Mmm Mmm good”), you know that song how it goes? You are vibrating or tingling all over in the rejoicing of that consciousness. If you accept a king or rule yourself, meaning the same thing, by a wise man who is both attuned to the ideas of state and church then you are living in an environment conducive to the highest good. If you’re living in an environment that is not attuned to both and it’s in constant conflict with each other then sooner or later you’re going to find you’re an environment that is going to lead you to self-destruction. We find that in the history of every nation, history repeats itself that’s why it’s called karma. When the Jews were on the David and Solomon they prospered and then after when they got down into the other kings who slowly started to cut themselves away from the synagogues, they soon became weak and then the Romans took over their country. You go back into the history of other nations when they were attuned to their religious beliefs, they attained a high level of control over their environment, the moment they had conflict with their religious beliefs they were torn down by their neighboring nations and taken away. We saw that in Egypt, we saw that in many of the Indian tribes, we saw that in Prussia, we saw that in the Hebrew people, we see that in the Chinese people, all the way in Europe, all coming through. When there was a conflict between the church and the state, the neighboring tribes struck and took away what they had, the Greeks had the same thing. Anytime the church and state went into conflict by the ruling class, the neighboring countries struck and took their country away. It is the way the Lord works as a means to bring us back to right thinking. Now it tells you when you’ve found that particular king, how you should act that rules with harmony between church and state. “Kiss the sun,” that means recognize or embrace, “take unto yourself the enlightened king lest he be angry and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are they that put their trust in him,” a very good example is Akhenaten, the Egyptian king who brought monotheism to Egypt. When the people embraced monotheism and the church and state began to function, those priests who joined Akhenaten built a great society but those priests that were against Akhenaten for the sake of the people caused something to occur, Akhenaten was assassinated, but those who embraced the king or those who adhered to the king during that entire period Egypt reaches highest unfoldment in art and literature, it thrived the most, it gained the most, it produced the most in constructive thinking. As soon as he was assassinated, everything about Akhenaten was turned down and those ideas no longer thrived in Egypt but we see the history of Egypt after Akhenaten, it was one of pillage, one of constant raiding by their neighbors. Today they are reduced to what we call a second-rate nation only backed up by another military power to have a face in world politics. Now surrounding the entire Egyptian belt and the Arabian belt there’s little David, Israel, a small little group of people, they’re in conflict too with their religion and state. If they don’t stay together then they will fall apart, as long as they will stay together with their religion and state activity then they will be a bulwark, they have a lesson to learn. In this modern age their lesson is trying to hold together the religious ideals of their ancestors. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes, yes there are tremendous reformations going on because the church and state are trying to be not overly identified with each other like in olden days and they’re trying to maintain and follow the pattern of Washington. Now Washington’s pattern can set a very inharmonious program for them if they keep following Washington’s pattern. Washington’s pattern can correct itself if church and state will get together, not overstepping the boundary lines but respecting each other’s personal boundary lines in terms of functioning as a whole. So they have to learn the lesson too, that they can’t always pattern after every condition they see around the world, they have to bring back their own intrinsic traditional patterns of church and state to function as a people. Now the only reason the Arab states and Egyptian states stay together is because of long hatreds for the Israelite, ancestral traditional hatred, the vendetta. You take away that and they collapse, they will have nothing to fight for. You see the Arab cannot have anything to fight for because what would he fight for? 1:10 Unless he doesn’t have a common hate, he has nothing to fight for and his common hatred based back, not from the oil fields, it based back way back in time going back to the time of Abraham and the son Ishmael and the son Isaac. Their ancient hatred is so old, so deep rooted that it has become now like a genetic virus but because they were prolific people, there are more Arab states densely populated than the Israelite states and the Israelites are very small group of people. Audience: But they didn’t move around. Adano: No, so you have a tremendous force field locked up in there. Now if the third world war would begin, there is the actual spawning ground for your third world war because here history must repeat itself, Egypt will still like to retain her glory as she was, what would Israel do? Israel would want to retain her glory as she was, now in the world confrontation of people you have now different religious organizations all over and the largest controlling body of religious movement scattered in all nations, not one single nation, but in all nations is Christianity which is the offspring of Judaism. So how can Christianity and Judaism avoid the confrontation of the other religious organizations in the other countries with their different patterns of thinking, they will be forced to get together. Now the Hindu, the Mohammedan, the Christian, only the Mohammedan fights holy war, his constant battle is the holy war, Islam is a constant battle of holy war from the time it was spawned, it’s holy war. Now it’s fighting Christianity and it’s fighting Hinduism, Hinduism is not a proselytizing religion, it does not go out to get like missionaries trying to get students, Christianity goes out to get students. So the Creator has already brought about opposition by setting up certain forces to keep each in check and balance by allowing Christianity to spread into every nation on a missionary basis and allowing Islam to spread into many nations on a missionary basis so they both are confronted by holy war. Audience: Do you think Christ really meant the churches to send missionaries to convert a good Buddhist to a Christian? Adano: Christ merely said “Come, I will make you fishers of men,” really meaning come I’ll make you fishers of the Soul, He didn’t intend that one tried to convert another or change him from his belief, He intended that one by virtue of his example of living would make all the men lift up their Souls, fish out for themselves where the Soul is, would look for the Soul in themselves by the virtue of exemplary living. If you live the exemplary life of the Science of the Soul other men, no matter what their creed or belief is, suddenly would realize this and it will spark them to live this exemplary life therefore all men are brothers in the one Father. Now Jesus was smart, He said “I didn’t come to destroy or condemn, I came to fulfill,” fulfillment means “I came to live by example,” by demonstration and “he who would do the will of the Lord is my brother and my sister and my mother.” This applied to any man regardless of what his belief was, merely doing the will of the Lord. Now I don’t have any religion that goes against that, Hinduism teaches the will of the Lord, Buddhism teaches the will of the Lord, and Islam teaches the same thing and I think the French people has a word for it, “Que Sera, Sera,” what will be, will be, it’s the will of the Lord. I don’t know of what action a human being can take in terms of all the religious patterns and scientific patterns that will not be involved in doing the will of the Lord, it has to be obeyed. So Jesus was not trying to say that He was coming to bring people back and that His students go out and convert, in fact there’s a big transformation occurring now among the Christians. The priests in the catholic church are becoming Christians for the first time in India, they have to go to India to learn Christianity. The catholic digest has a whole article on it, that the church in India, being a minority group, was trying to raise the Christian what you say “roll call” by incorporating more and more people into it, come to find out they can’t even Christianize the Indian, they are being Indianized by the Indian. The priests are being Indianized in other words they’re discovering the Christian way via the Indian method, they are seeing Christ in a different aspect. Many people are going there to study now how and why the Christ of the Indian is different. Well he is different only because Christ studied in India, he was an Oriental, He wasn’t he wasn’t a western man, He wasn’t a Roman, He was a Jew and the Jew was a middle eastern man and the seat of learning was in the East and the disciple relationship was the oldest method of learning and passing it down. India carried on that tradition and today the church is now realizing that it is the only way they could accept the new concept of Christ and not churchianity, churchianity is dying and Christianity is being born for the first time. Now we’ve noticed that there’s two psalms that we cover what is the happiness of the two types of people that exist, one is the type of government or association with the church, how to live with it, you see a pattern form, do you see a plan being formed, one is leading to the other, what type of people and then how they should govern themselves and what they should adhere to? Now we come to the third psalm, this gives you individual relationship it’s called the security of God’s protection. Here is a science building up for the first time, the first psalm tells you which one of the two type of people you want to be: positive or negative so you have to make your choice. The second psalm tells you your social structure in which you’re in, each one is in his own environmental karma to grow up and what is required of him to stand up for his rights in this environment of karma to make it work. Now comes the third condition, how much trust you have in your ideals to back up what you’re saying and put it to the test and who is going to protect you when you go wrong. So you want God’s protection now, the third psalm is finding security in God’s protection. 1:20 So it says “Lord, how are they increased that troubled me. Many are they that rise up against me,” haven’t you been that route before, don’t you recognize some of that pattern in your everyday living now? You’re living here in America and you’re trying to decide between following a certain way of life with your friends and your relatives and all of a sudden now you want to know have you made the right decision, have you chosen the right place to be and who are the people that you’re associating with, are they really thinking along these lines? So in your mind you’re saying “What am I doing here? Lord how are they increased that trouble me? Many are they that rise up against me, many there be which say of my Soul there is no help for him in God,” are you familiar with such ideas? Have you not been around people, “man you’re wasting your time, what are you trying to do, pray to God? Like Adano, he’s talking here at a school and he said ‘Oh God is going to take care of it soon’ and somebody says ‘You crazy? Why don’t you take the vitamin tablet or drink the coca-cola?” See, there’s always going to be that particular condition in which we’re in to hold you and pull you and work with you but you have to go through these processes to know what is karma, what is being a channel for other people karma, and what is environmental stress in order to transcend both types of karma. The Soul is now turning to the Lord, it must learn to rely on the Creator as the guiding principle for its existence and that’s how we are lifted up by example. We learn the spiritual life par example, not by reading, it’s by living the thing with that consciousness. “Many there be which say of my Soul there is no help for him in God,” then here comes a big Hebrew word Selah. When translated Selah only means “So be it” that’s what it means. In other words, “I can’t do nothing Lord, you take over from here now,” you get the idea? You got to surrender to a point where this Intelligence will come in and zap you, “shape up and fly right,” it’s one of those things “but Thou O’ Lord art a shield.” He didn’t say “art my shield,” “Thou my Lord art a shield,” the constant attunement is a bulwark, a protective measure, hallowing the holy name in your meditation now, that’s where we come back to repetition, repeating the psalm or the affirmation now is your shield, this is the shield, this is what builds up the wave, God is a sound. If you say “I am my Father are one. I am my Father are one. I am my Father are one. I am my Father are one. I am my Father are one,” this is your shield, this will build up this force against that pulling power of those around and says “but Thou O’ Lord art a shield for me.” Now you are specifying to yourself what the shield is for, who it is, you the individual involved. “My glory” that is when I succeed in using this technique I’m gonna get the last laugh on you, get the idea? That’s “my glory” and “the lifter up of mine head” that means like I transcend now above the sensory pull of the environment and the tensions and the anxiety. You’re actually raising yourself up above those levels. “I cried unto the Lord with my voice” that means I don’t give up affirming or repeating the holy name inside, “hallowed be thy name” whatever you’re saying inside japa, mantra, simran, whatever it is, repetition or hollowing, do not quit, in other words keep on going. Yogananda says God, Christ, Gurus, this is his battle cry and he calls it the battle cry: God, Christ, Gurus, and in sleeping, eating, meditating, divinely loving, and sickness, dying and everything, he’s still shouting inside: God, Christ, Gurus. He’s not quitting because God, Christ, Gurus, have all the power in it to get him out of the dilemma so what is that lesson? The “forces of unrighteousness are strong my son but the forces of righteousness are stronger still” that’s the lesson you’re learning in meditation, you’re learning it in your psalms. You’re learning that the more you will remain firm like a rod of iron, you will smash the environment that appears to be like a clay bowl, like giving off lots of noise. A clay bowl looks strong and a brass rod is strong, sooner or later when they clash one got to give way, it’s that will, that drive, that staying power. “I cried unto the Lord with my voice and He heard me out of his holy hill,” well you cry with your mouth, everybody cries with their mouth out of anguish for something and where would the Creative Intelligence hear you? He’s not up in some mountain, the mountain is right here in your consciousness at the point between the eyebrows, the Intelligence tells you inside, right at this mount between your eyes, it’s called the Holy Hill. “He heard me out of his Holy Hill” then the next word again is this wonderful Hebrew word Salah, “so be it.” If you cry out that means if you are constantly repeating over and over, sooner or later that consciousness is going to fire off that particular power and release you and free you. “He will hear it” that means the Master Gland, the Master focal point inside of you will trigger off the energy and it will be Divine Will manifest, “what will be, will be” “so be it.” Then it says “I laid me down and slept” now you see what is the next procedure in the science? You yell your head off and then you go to sleep and forget the whole cotton picking thing right? How many of us can project this thought and forget? Now when you’re sound asleep you don’t know if you’re a man or a woman so you must take in the scientific aspect of the consciousness and work it by sending the thought over and over and then go to sleep. It’s a form of conscious exhaustion to the point of shutting it off. “I await, for the Lord sustained me” now you can see the whole scientific principle of the science working now. “I await for the Lord sustained me” you repeat over and over, over and over, over and over getting drowsy and drowsy and drowsy and you go off into that state and before you know it your whole body is regenerated that means sustained, it comes back, you are revitalized, the body is starting to correct itself but you can’t stop, you have to keep on that particular attunement inside. It says now “I will not be afraid” you see it’s how this security, how this protective power is starting to build up in you now, how this programming, how this imprinting of the consciousness starts. 1:30 “I will not be afraid” that’s a very positive statement, “of ten thousands of people” that’s lots of people. The mass collective force field of ten thousand people negatively thinking against you, “that have set themselves against me roundabout.” Do you get what you’re working with, what are the odds you’re working with in the Science of the Psalms by taking ideas and really hammering it away in consciousness? Now the challenge comes, ten thousands of people are around you and finally he says, “Arise oh Lord” that means energy within the spinal force field now, the kundalini force, “arise oh Lord, save me oh my God” the vital power in you now from the constant repetition, the holy power in you, you start to feel (Adano hums “Mmmm”), this energy going up your spine like if your head is going to pop, your brain is now agitating to the point and you feel like everything is pulling. “Arise oh Lord” because the vital power is God now, the same vital power is in the ten thousands of people around you that can snap in them and can sustain you instead. “Arise oh Lord, save me” that means insulate my body and my emotional makeup against the concentrated vital magnetic emotional force field of these ten thousand people. “Save me oh my God, for thou have smitten all nine enemies upon the cheekbone.” Now it specifies where this force field was cut off in the individual, the vital energy is rising in you to offset the intense emotional stresses of others and blocking them at the cheekbone. Now what are we saying is this, a man in intense hatred, his eyes are like that…
1970 - Part 2 The Science of the Psalms
Adano70_2ScienceofthePsalmsQ3NW4 - (Duplicate of previous talk)
1970 - Part 3 The Science of the Psalms
Adano70_3ScienceofthePsalmsQ3NW4 - … but you try to look back on the things that you didn’t do and you should have done, look at the things that you have been towards that person, how much friendship you had at one time and suddenly the friendship is destroyed. Well the vital life power has to make some kind of reconciliation between the two individuals that they will now remember, “Well he was good to me, why should I be this harsh on him” and the other makes you say, what you say, uh adjustments and he says “Now, oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end” that means within his own self he’s got to end the feud or the craving or the desire to continue to knock on his back “but establish the just for a righteous God trieth their hearts and reigns” that means once we learn to use our judgment and we correct the karma, the palpitation of the heart starts correcting itself and the adrenals where the anger or the tension is released, the adrenaline is released, they start to correct themselves so we have now a physical adjustment occurring in human beings. He says “God judges the righteous” now this life force is going to come to task, here he says “my defense is of God which saveth the upright in heart.” The initiate has hurt someone but he’s appealing on behalf of his past good deeds for some type of clemency, deep down in his heart he did not intentionally want to hurt another man, deep down in our hearts we don’t intentionally want to hurt people but somewhere along anger can trigger it off, desire can cause us to make a wrong decision, and we hurt the other person and then the feud goes on until it has to be reconciled. “Now God judgeth the righteous and God is angry with the wicked every day” that’s quite a statement, the righteous are judged and the wicked he’s angry with, He’s not angry with the righteous and you don’t judge the wicked, do you see it? Audience: Well the righteous would only be the person that comes to the realization that he has to clear his own consciousness. Adano: All right and the the wicked? Audience: The wicked is the person that hasn’t got there yet but he’s on his way. Adano: Good, so the wicked is constantly generating adrenaline in his system and the righteous is now shutting down the adrenaline and must face the consequences for triggering it off so you are judged by your own body relationship and body action and desire. So the life force is angry with the individual who is constantly negative that means the life force will emit into the negative individual more and more adrenaline, it will not stabilize itself but the person who is righteous now, who has hurt someone is going to make some stabilization, he must pay the consequences, he must live to the experience of self-correction. Judgment means you have been assessed and you must pay the price, in some way you must make an atonement, some way of ameliorating that situation. Audience: Does this have to be done on a conscious level? Adano: Yes, it must be done in the consciousness level in a physical body. Audience: Does that negate the karma? Adano: Yes, it does negate the karma. Audience: Any karma that is not irreversible? Is all karma reversible? Adano: Yes, we will see it now how he’s saying it. “If he turn not” see this is the statement, “if he turn not, he will whet his sword, he hath bent his bow and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death, he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.” You see the punishment that follows through the action. “Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.” That’s the very man who committed the karma, he has done all these things.” Audience: These desire patterns would lead to that end. Adano: Right, “His mischief shall return upon his own head” see he’s being judged you see how he’s being judged, this is not the angry… Audience: It was already set up in consciousness, he had to ask for it on a conscious level to rectify this situation well then it would have just worked itself out and he would have got an arrow through his… Adano: (Laughter) karmic condition, somebody would have shot him. “And his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate,” you know, noggin you know, this is actual karma, the whole principle karma is here right, it’s been laid out you see. Now he says “I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness,” oh well, you know he can’t say anything else, “I’m shot Lord (inaudible(, it’s my own fault, I enjoy my punishment, my judgment,” the righteous is judged now, he’s judged to face the karmic condition and go through it because he triggered it off himself and he should not complain no more, he should be glad to go through it and recognize it, all these things were all set up by his own thought pattern so the judgment comes back on his head. So he says “I will praise the lord according to his righteousness” so he says “it could be worse Lord and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high” that means I accept my punishment and it could be worse in other words you could have taken away my life. See because actually he was destined by the karmic pattern of hurting someone to lose his life. Audience: if he had persisted with the desire patterns well it would have led him to them but he realized this before this happened. Adano: Quite true, therefore we must make adjustment or amends for anyone that we’ve hurt in some way before it comes to the final end and before we ourselves leave the physical frame because we will have to do it over again. See the physical frame is the testing ground for reconciliation that’s why when Jesus came in the body, he told Peter and Peter asked him “Master how many times should we forgive our fellow man?” And He said Jesus, “seventy times seven,” that’s 490 attempts and then he said “walk the extra mile with him before the sun goes down.” Audience: Because we don’t know how many seeds we’ve sown. Adano: Right and we don’t know if we will live through the night you see so you have to make this particular effort because we are judged by our particular effort. Now, “the glory of God is displayed in creation, our Lord God how excellent is Thy name in all the earth! Who has set thy glory above the heavens.” After we understand karma now which is the last psalm, we’re going to see now what is called the purpose of living. See the psalms are designed now to carry you through the affirmative life or the science of living and it’s called the glory of God displayed in creation. So the initiate who wrote this said, “O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!” That means a sound current, how beautiful this sound current has come into manifestation as a universe. “Who hast set thy glory above the heavens,” the sound current is way above the audible formation of matter. (Gap in tape). 0:10 “Because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.” We have to realize that if we have an enemy or caused someone to be our enemy, there is that particular condition called avenging or vengeance, it’s the next psychological level we will go to. Someone must seek to avenge if you hurt somebody and to point that that person is dead, his kin folk or someone related would want to avenge that person so we are put in a situation like that. Audience: He said something about if he did something unknowning, if he hurt this person with his thoughts unknowningly there must be some indication that he had done this… Adano: Yes. Audience: The person was throwing spears at him or something or something like that? You can make restitution, the person doesn’t have to be physically present, you can do it in consciousness and as long as you do this well is there going to be some indication that this has been accepted by the Lord? Adano: It’s accepted by the Lord but it doesn’t say that you are absolved by the Lord, the Lord will still want some little measurement of payment to remind you. If you were supposed to be stuck by the spear in your heart and die now you’ll have something that’ll stick you someplace and leave a scar to remind you, you have to pay for it in some way but not in the drastic way it was intended to come back to you. Audience: Okay that’s what I wanted to know, that’s what Paul was talking about. He had a good race and his body was scarred, he said he had scars and marks on his body to prove that he had run a good race. Adano: Good okay. So we do have to carry some kind of a marking on ourselves. “When I consider thy heavens the work of thy fingers the moon and the stars which thou has ordained,” that is the evaluation now, you begin to look at these things around you and see how insignificant our thought patterns are in terms of hurting one another then you begin to realize how stupid we are to wanna maintain a constant conflict between another human being, you can’t even make a (inaudible), let alone the moon the stars so how are we going to really say to ourselves we’re not so smart, we’re actually being stubborn. So the glory of our environment is the challenge to help us realize ourselves and try to correct the mistakes with one another. Then he says, “What is Man that thou art mindful of him?” He’s asking the creator, why should the Lord be interested in a human being? “And the Son of Man” that means the offspring, (inaudible) there must be something in Man and the offspring of Man that the creator would be interested in him or would be totally involved with him. Now he describes how Man comes into existence, “For thou has made him a little lower than the angels” he tells you exactly how Man is designed, he gives you a complete archetypal pattern, a little lower than the angels. You see, Man is made a little lower of the angels but because He made him a little lower than the angels that He should be interested in Man, He’s got to have something in Him that is greater than the angels. He may be made a little lower than the angels architecturally speaking but not decoratively speaking, see the difference? You can have a rinky dinky looking house but beautifully decorated inside and you can have a beautiful mansion next door all painted up outside and inside all falling apart. So he’s describing the contrast between Man and the angel, “For thou has made him a little lower than the angels and has crowned him with glory and honor.” Now we are only the type of creature that has glory and honor involved in our existence, this human mechanism, the plants don’t have it, animals don’t have it, etheric beings or angels don’t have it, they are only servants of the Lord. They are what we call the spiritual transformers of the vital life power but they don’t have the glory and the honor that means they are not elevated by their conscious efforts to experience divine oneness, we are elevated by our conscious efforts to divine oneness that’s why Man ought to be perfect even as his Father which is in heaven. Now “Madest him to have dominion,” now the power He’s giving him, “over the works of thy hands” but even the angel may have the power to work the creation but he doesn’t have the power to dominate the creation. “Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of their hands, thou hast put all things under his feet.” Well that’s a very interesting statement if you realize that, in these two hands you can control the universe and in your feet you have all the nerve endings of the human body which is a miniature universe and yet in your hands you have all the nerve endings again coming through them like a miniature universe. The human hands are the only mechanism that can play the intricate pieces of music and the human feet is a chart of the vital life principle in the human body, Man is designed that way. He can track every nerve ending in his feet and he can manipulate these fingers as an expression of his divinity. “All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beast of the field, the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!” In other words the shabad, the sound current, the name is the actual force that is in-resident in Man and this is why Man has his dominion. Man is selected by the creator to hear the sound current or the name and to make this force work in himself and as long as he hears the sound current inside, he is identified with the Lord. 0:20 That’s why when the waves started to come up and the Master Jesus was lying in the boat sleeping, fully aware of what was going on in the minds of his disciples and what was happening around in the environment in a superconscious way. The disciples in their subconscious level of memory of being drowned by high waves and of the conscious awareness that the ship was flooding with water, they began to panic but the Master is a Master, he is Man who has realized the dominion over all the forces. He stood up and rebuked the waves, the sound current, he is the epitome of the sound current, he is the living sound current, he alone can stop all the creation that is created under the same sound current. When a human being realizes this, that he is in possession of this power then he can demonstrate, he can show his dominance over it and he says “How excellent is thy name in all the earth” meaning the reverence for the sound current then initiate David goes on to praise God for the execution of his judgment. Once he begins to realize what he’s living in, he’s got now to realize why God’s law must work by karma is a violent law, it is the only law that really satisfies all the problems in our existence therefore he starts the psalm by saying “I will praise thee O Lord with my whole heart.” Now he’s not leaving out one segment of his heart or feeling or his mind with the whole heart, with the whole mind, “I will show forth all thy marvelous works.” In other words I’m willing to be involved in creation, I’m not avoiding it, I’m not running from it, the initiate does not run, he does not avoid, he’s committed and he’s involved. Once he understands his origin then he takes on the involvement and the involvement leads to his emergence or his divinity on a conscious level. “I will be glad” that’s a positive affirmation of an attitude of how to live with your involvement “and rejoice in thee” and this is doing it in a conscious level in the present tense. “I will sing praise to thy name O Thou most high” so chanting, chanting the psalms or the mantras is an indication of hollowing or spiritualizing this force, bringing this current to work on a conscious level. When we chant and raise our consciousness up, the vibrations in the room tends to pull up and you are raised to that stableness awareness. “When my enemies are turned back they shall fall and perish in thy presence” these are all the desire patterns. “For that has maintained my right and my cause and thou satest in the throne judging right.” If the creator is judging us, that’s the vital life power, and it is maintaining for “my cause,” that’s the initiate’s cause, what is the initiate’s cause? The initiate’s cause is the involvement, not to run from the karmic conditions around him because it’s cause and effect, the law of action. Once it’s initiated into action that has to be lived out and therefore the divine intelligence sits in bringing this principle into manifestation. “Thou hast rebuked the heathen,” remember he used the word heathen earlier, it’s repeating itself again, “thou hast destroyed the wicked,” you see we come back with the same thought pattern. “Thou hast put out their name forever and ever” these thought patterns are removed from our consciousness and we have to realize that the negative forces are within us and once we raise it, our consciousness, to the level where we can accept the karmic responsibility then the desires don’t have the impact but if your desire nature comes to an end, it is the perpetual end, it’s the end of the repetition. “To him that overcometh I will not send forth a second time,” this again is the understanding involved in the desire pattern. “O thou enemy, destructions are come to an end” that is the repercussions of thought pattern in the form of desire “and thou hast destroyed cities,” not a human being, human being is only the end result of the desire pattern triggering off to go destroy, tear down the establishment, a robot can’t tear down anything, it must have to be programmed or primed. A human being cannot tear down something until he has a desire or the craving so the real culprit behind it all is the desire nature, that is the condition that tears down. He says, “O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.” That is to say desire leads us to self-destruction “but the Lord shall endure forever,” that is life, it will continue to exist forever regardless of how much your desire pattern is triggered off. “He hath prepared his throne for judgment,” life has set up in creation the law of cause and effect or karma to reconcile all desire patterns “and he shall judge the world in righteousness.” Karma, which is the way of bringing things to a head, will make our environment the testing ground for the positive thought patterns against the negative thought patterns, righteousness is the right thought pattern. “And he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness,” the moment you accept your responsibility and your karmic debt, you’re going to be pulled up by the roots, as a Yogi says “We’ll pull you up by your (inaudible),” in other words you’re going to force to face yourself now, you can eat your own words back and some of those words are pretty rough at times. You know those adjectives and pronouns, they’re sticking your throat but that’s how the upright person, the ethical person, the spiritual person, or the initiate is made whole again by that principle, he’s made one with a divine current. “The Lord also will be a refuge,” when you are eating your words back where do your thoughts go now, what is uppermost in your mind? “The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble,” when you’re eating your words and they’re really oppressing you, you find out that you are recalling or resorting back to the divine current in you, you are trying to recapture those moments of bliss prior to your mistakes with your desires and you wish you never did trigger off that pattern to cause you to eat your words back. So the same condition that upbraids you is the same condition that comforts you, you begin to understand your nature better. “And they that know my name,” the individual who is hollowing the sound, the name in his mind now that’s the initiate, “they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” 0:30 The initiate, he’ll make mistakes but if he keeps hollowing the name with all his mistakes and eating his word back, he will find refuge, he’ll find emergence, he will live through his involvement. He knows his origin, he knows his involvement, his commitments, and now he’s given the key to get out of it and to sustain himself, repetition of the holy name, hollowing the holy name, hollowing the chant or hollowing the psalm. Psalm means extra sensory aid, calling upon that aid, those thought patterns laid out by the initiate experience and bringing it through to lift yourself up. Now the initiate goes on to say, “And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Sing praises to the Lord,” chant. Now the colored people always say when you’re in the blues to do what? Sing away the blues, you see on a practical level singing does break up that particular experience around you that puts you in a blue or low mood. “Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion” which means generate the chant current which is residing in the brain, the sound current is here already at the eye center but chant with your mind centered there among Zion, this is among Zion, chant with your consciousness center there. If you say “Ommm” or whatever you’re chanting, “how sweet the name of…” whatever you’re chanting, “Listen Listen Listen” or anything, once you are chanting with your consciousness here you’re declaring above the people the principles of the inner life. So he says, “sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.” As you start chanting this particular consciousness is being pulled up and people now start to get into you, you start to feel the pull, they want to participate. “When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble,” that’s a very drastic statement, “he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.” When we go out to the extent to hurt others that’s an inquisition, putting them to the torture chamber, embarrassing them in every way for blood. In other words we don’t have no compassion now, we don’t have no mercy but the creative life principle remembers those people, “he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.” Many of us are hurt unwillingly, unknowingly, unintentionally and we cry out, those cries cannot be forgotten because those cries come from the heart, comes from the mind, they are set into motion in the atmosphere, they are thought patterns, they have to be resolved. Now we are using life force, God is life force, and once we are using it it’s hanging in the air to face us and therefore we have to live through the experience of reconciling it. So here is the reconciliation, “Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death.” You see how far we have to go in the emotional nature of ourselves to be free from the karmic responsibility, right up to the point of death, death is the final test if we are going to willing to correct the wrong of having hurt someone, if you’re going to be willing to seek some type of reconciliation for our mistakes, it’s human to avoid but it’s divine to face them. You only have the strength to face up when you accept the divine in you and that is if God be with you who can be against you? You see He has provided that for you to ease your mind so that you can face the problems that you’ve generated. So you have a way out by accepting your divinity in yourself and in so doing you will face yourself and you will face the problems with the fellow men who you have hurt for the first time then there is no more avoidance but then there is release, emergence, you’re liberated, free man all, lord of yourself, this is the inner awareness of yourself at work. “That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.” The moment we accept ourselves that by looking at the point between the eyebrows and facing the problem, half of the battle is won already because strength comes in to face the situation and “you will rejoice in thy salvation” because that means you are coming to the release now, the pressure is off. You know when you begin to face some situation you are kind of leery as to how you will face it, you die a thousand deaths before you actually face it but the moment you start going through it, things fall into place and when you come through it you end up saying, “it could have been worse.” It’s by this particular facing it, certain forces begin to work towards helping you. The prodigal son when he decided to go back to his father, when he decided to face his father for having squandered his sustenance, died a thousand deaths but until he turned around to go back, he didn’t know if his father was going to meet him halfway and accept him. Equally true when we as human beings make a blunder or some action that we feel guilty of and we want to correct it, we will die a thousand deaths till we face it. The moment we face it, it starts moving, we are bringing into focus our divinity for the first time, a strength comes in us that helps us to live above the impact of the condemnation from the individual who we are asking to forgive us. There is where the strength of humility versus the strength of ego, the person who is going to forgive you may be highly egotistic, highly antagonistic, you who are humble and realizing what you’re doing on a conscious level can win the battle now with love for the first time, you’re applying love and you are free. “The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.” By the very things we plan for others, we are trapped into it but at the same time we can correct it. “The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth,” that means karma will always come back to the individual, “the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands,” you can’t constantly tear down others without you going to be teared down. Now we come into the beautiful Jewish word, Hebrew word, Higgaion, spell HIG-GAION, then another Hebrew word, Selah. Selah we know is “so be it.” Higgaion is “it has been said.” 0:40 It’s stated now that the Lord will make restitution by His own principles, this is not something that we can avoid no more, this is something we have to face. That means something that is set into motion by the Creative iIntelligence will never alter itself, it will upbraid us, it will help us, it will chasten us, admonish us, but it is the only way that we can ever find real inner joy is by living it out. The Creator does not make two ways, He has one way, “What we sow, we reap.” Yet in that very principle, though it’s harsh in times based upon the desire pattern of the individual who trigger it off or the particular life form you find yourself working it out, yet if you’re willing to face it you will discover the uniqueness of your divinity in it. That’s the only way you will ever do it, to discover your uniqueness of your divinity is by facing it, you will discover how much spiritual power is latent in you by facing it. So he goes on to say, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” We’re finding a very strange statement, “the wicked shall be turned into hell,” now we’re not talking about H-E-L-L merely as some place where somebody with a pitchfork or a big fire is waiting for you, it really means on the initiate life that those thought patterns that are self deteriorating will go into a state of HELD meaning it will be crystallized to constantly confront you and wait for you to have the experience of confrontation in order to correct it. It will be put in that particular situation where you have to make the correction in yourself, it’s stored up for you. “And all the nations that forget God,” that means all the environmental laws that tend to deviate from that principle, they will all have to remain in the state of HELD. “For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,” now you see the word needy and not want, the needy, “the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.” So needy people, expectant people, are involved in this process. What is in a human being as an initiate? All our needs are fulfilled, not our wants, and the poor means those who lack the spiritual drive, especially uninterested in themselves, they are poor. When we lack this spiritual urge or spiritual craving to understand ourselves, we are really poor, it has nothing to do with money, it has strictly to do with a lack of spiritual drive, spiritual yearning, but if their expectation he says “the expectation of a spiritual poor,” if you’re constantly expecting to alter yourself to improve yourself, you will not perish. That means there is hope for the individual who may lack the initiative to spiritually improve himself but if he expects to make a change, sooner or later he will be pulled out by grace, he will not be left or cut abandoned, the life energy will not leave him. “Arise oh Lord,” the energy moving up the spine now, “let not man prevail,” let not the ego be in control. The kundalini energy must rise up in the spine so that the ego is held in check. “Let the heathen be judged in thy sight,” let the sensory nature face the realization that the vital power moves up to the top of the brain. “Put them in fear,” that means let the sensory nature realize that the intuitive power is supreme, it’s extrasensory. We are limited by our five senses, we are unlimited by our extrasensory forces. “Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.” In other words people don’t realize that when they live by their sensory nature they are limited but when they live by their extrasensory nature they are unlimited. The initiate is making a statement that we are only men when we live by our sensory nature but we are Sons of God or Sons of Light, divine being in manifestation when we live by our extrasensory nature or our divine nature, when we bring this nature to bear or into manifestation, when we cause it to come out and work, we are different, we are no longer men. Now Jesus said “If the Son of Man be lifted up, it’ll draw all other men to me,” if the sensory nature is withdrawn from the lower chakras of the body, inserted in the brain, all other people living in that sensory nature will also be drawn magnetically pulled up. Thank you. Audience: (Inaudible), this is the tenth psalm, The Perils of the Pilgrim. “Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.” 0:50 Audience: “Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.” Adano: Well that sure lays it on the line, modern day living, we aren’t too far off in this particular type of existence. Many of us as initiates often ask the same question before we commit the initiate life when we are searching for truth. “Why standest thou afar O Lord,” how many of us have ever asked that question student, we’ve all asked that, we’ve all made that tremendous appeal never fully realizing that God is not afar and (inaudible) realizing that God cannot be seen, that’s why the scripture says “No man seeth God,” God is the eternal vital power in us, it’s the creative principle. Now the creative principle works by laws and these laws are around us and when we are involved in them, that is where we learn our lessons, when we avoid them we learn a different lesson. (Inaudible) not in the avoidance so we say “why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble.” Have we not all gone through particular experience? When things are really going bad that’s the time we’re crying for God and He doesn’t seem to appear and then all of a sudden ego wakes up, “He don’t exist, why are you beating your head against the wall for? The only things that exists is me, me big ego. That’s the only thing that exists.” So if “me big ego” is existing then the creative intelligence is not existing then creative intelligence can’t (inaudible). In this human body ego then takes full advantage of that particular situation and then it goes to be exactly what is laid out in the science (inaudible) of trying to control your body. “The wicked in his pride” that means the ego automatically becomes puffed up in us. When we are in stress we don’t see any avenging force, when we call upon this force to help us it doesn’t respond therefore automatically the mind assumes that (inaudible) creative intelligence will be there to judge us or interfere. (Inaudible). When the initiate wrote the psalm, he wrote of the inner life, this conflict that goes on in every day activity between the ego and the higher self. He knew that there was no way that the creative intelligence would come down and literally clobber him on your head if he made a mistake. So if he allowed the ego to really go all out only to discover that this was worse than he could have done. So the Psalm is called a Psalm of Complaint and Prayer, first you have to complain because nothing is coming out from the Creative Intelligence and then sooner or later you discover that your desires are not being fulfilled then the prayer or intercession begins in us. This is what the Science of the Soul teaches us, it teaches us that we must first understand the Creative Principle and our relationship with it before we can actually bring it into manifestation. So it says “the wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor,” the ego takes advantage of the lesser developed individuals, the thought patterns that have no real value, poor, they can’t fight for themselves, then can’t take care of themselves. (Inaudible), the ego starts picking on them. “Let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.” Well in our imagination we can have many types of cravings and the ego will start to generate a particular desire to control him, once it starts to control the human being then we are a victim of the ego. Now the only reason we are in the body, the only reason we are reincarnating is because we have an unfulfilled desire but an unfulfilled desire is also like a habit pattern, it’s a craving that keeps craving that keeps craving and keeps arguing and keeps wanting more and more and says you can’t satisfy it, sooner it becomes a chronic habit pattern and so it becomes a chronic habit pattern. Then we find we have been taken in, you’re addicted so psychologically we are addicted to our own imagination through the craving patterns. Therefore as we become addicted we have to repeat it over and over and over, then we become attached. From the addiction comes the attachment, you can’t seem to let go and if we want to let go, we’re afraid that we’re going to lose ourselves, our identity. That’s the big problem in this ego nature. Yet when you realize that by detaching yourself, breaking free from your imagination of what will happen to you, in the process you start the elimination of holding on to your desires, unfulfilled desires begin to shut off. Now the third verse says “for the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire and blessed the covetous whom the Lord abhorreth.” The negative person always try to generate some kind of facade in order to pull us into that whirlpool, they’re always boasting of how good the sensory life is. Now if the sensory life is so good, the evidence we have is at death. The spiritual man is not worried about his life what he’s living, he knows it’s a process in which he’s involved and the process is sanctified by the Creator when he’s ready to leave the body, only at that time we will see what the true spiritual man is. The spiritual man is not observed by his miracles that he performs, he is sanctified by the Creative Presence, by the Creative Principle, by the grace, then that power decides to raise him up at death. We begin to see now an unusual phenomenon occurring in a spiritual man’s life, he may be very humble, very simple living, (inaudible), he may not involve himself with the sensory nature or the cravings of the entire world. He may be looked upon as what the people call a type of a teetotaler, (inaudible) he’s not the kind that gets involved with things that make live worth living. The sensory nature tries to create all types of propaganda to indicate that the sensory life is the highest life while you’re in the body but while the sensory life is doing that the spiritual man knows that this is a trap, he knows this is honey with poison in it and if he sticks his finger in it and puts it in his mouth, it may be sweet but it may be death at the same time, the spiritual man has to be aware of the sensory nature all the time. 1:00 The negative person is always praising people who try to (inaudible) or take away what you tend to believe in. One negative person gets another negative person to join together to harass you as a spiritual person and three/four in that line starts a whole series of harassments and you know where the harassment begins? It doesn’t begin with your friends, it doesn’t begin with your business associates, it begins in your home that’s where the negative person finds his harassment. One member of a home sets a negative thought in another member of the home and before you know it, all the members in your home are harassing you because you want to follow a different way of life, you want to be free from the sensory pull of your nature, you want to transcend it. It doesn’t make you cold like a potato that you don’t appreciate life, a spiritual person appreciates life much more than a sensory person. A sensory person is involved in the desire addiction and attachment, the spiritual person is involved in regeneration of the desire pattern that leads to liberation and “to him that overcometh, I will not send forth a second time but I’ll make him a pillar in the house of the Lord.” That is the journey, that’s the process we’re involved with in the spiritual life but he lives in the world like other people but he’s subject to harassment and he has to be harassed only because it’s a battle of ego, ego between human beings who are battling for one another’s mind. I call it divine benders, everybody’s trying to bend your mind to their way so they can control you. You don’t want to be controlled by the ego mind, you want to be led by your own Divine God-mind to find your own inner awareness, your own completeness. So always watch for that ego in nature, that desire pattern that is tending to pull you into the sensory world. “The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all of his thoughts.” God is not in all of his thoughts, you can see that very clearly, the negative thought pattern of individuals who are locked up…
1970 - Part 4 The Science of the Psalms
Adano70_4ScienceofthePsalmsQ3NW4 - Not too long ago Japanese scientists have proven that the brain emits its full potential when the eyes are half open, half closed. Interesting that the brain emits its full potential when the eyes are half open, half closed. Now every mystic knows this, that the only way he can really draw on God within his being, the only way he can vibrate this energy up is the half open, half close eyes and he can block thousands of people glaring at him simply by looking at them with one darshan, he can knock out all the wind out of them. Now, “and He hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.” In other words that force field goes right through them and they’re blocked, their love is so great that comes through the half open eyes but there’s nothing else for the man in anger or in hate to do but look at you, “Well what are you gonna do?” Then they will begin to realize “salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people.” The man who gives darshan to a screaming host of people automatically radiates so much love that what happens to that ten thousand people that they are like spiritualized, they’re immobilized with the love, they can’t help feeling the love flowing to them now. They can have all types of questions to ask you to harass you but you just give them one darshan they calm right down and before you know it they don’t know what’s happening to them, they feel like they’re losing their their… vitality is going out of them, that’s the power of the spirit and again it says Selah, “so be it.” Well I think I had many encounters like that, when I was in Virginia Beach and every time… so the situation is simply that the security of God’s protection is based upon that particular love. What time is it now? Audience: Twenty to four. Adano: Keep on our schedule but you see how each Psalm is leading into a plan. Psalm number four it says, “David now prays for audience” in other words when the social structure is lobbied by its citizens, even Mr. Nixon or any political figure has to have audience with the Lord in some way. How do we fight back these particular harassments or inroads into our authority. Well here is David’s way of relating how a leader or anyone is drawn into consciousness, “Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness” that means the consciousness responds to attunement when we utilize the right law of meditation. “Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress,” that means consciousness expanded when negative thought patterns were trying to take over. “Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer,” let relaxation occur in the body, let the tension go, and let my consciousness expand. When we meditate we really don’t know as a beginner what going to occur in us and when anything occurs in us we are a little afraid, sometimes skeptical or worried. Now since we are skeptical or worried, we begin to doubt for fear that we’re not doing the right thing and if we’re afraid that we’re not doing the right thing we start calling up the person who taught us meditation and asking, “Well what do I do now, what do I do now, what do I do now, how do I know I’m getting results, is that the way (inaudible) feel, a buzzing sound in my ears or the roots of my hair being dragged up, big pain in my head, a cold sweat and trembling all over the place?” And if you say “Yes that’s the way it should feel.” “But I didn’t feel that when I was in the other church groups, I had very nice feelings in those church groups and now I join your group here I’m getting all kinds of sensations, something is wrong.” You tell them “Nothing is wrong, this is the normal process in how the mechanism works.” And they’re partially doubtful and partially calm. If they keep up the meditation eventually they’ll calm down but sometimes they’re afraid to continue so they avoid. So David is showing how we should respond in this condition inside, if we’re half restless or half calm, “Hear me when I call” let me feel inside that the contact I made from this inner peace, this attunement, is flowing through. “O God of my righteousness” that means the right principles of meditation or thinking, love. “Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress,” my consciousness expanded beyond the limitation of the negative pull when I began to meditate. When I began to meditate I was in a certain state of negative thought patterns because I was frustrated and now I am meditating, I’ve gone beyond the frustration, my consciousness is stretching, so my consciousness has expanded. Therefore “have mercy upon me and hear my prayer,” in other words let this consciousness flow through me so that I am confident to handle it and I know without doubt that everything is working as it should. This is confirmation that the symptoms that are occurring in us, in meditation, are real and they are nothing to be afraid of they’re just going on naturally inside. “O ye sons of men,” this is the usual conflict now coming up between you and the higher consciousness in meditation. “How long will ye turn my glory into shame? How long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?” Leasing, what the consciousness is saying to the person in meditation is this, “how long will you go along doubting the possibilities of the experience being genuine and what do you think is happening to you is partial and not the real thing?” You don’t really have a full comprehension or full confirmation of it, there’s no real certitude. Now, so you will doubt and dabble and try to avoid going to the fullest acceptance that these symptoms are real, these symptoms are genuine, and that this is a real spiritual life, this is what must occur in the body to bring out the spirit. So you’ll continue in the “leasing,” that means you will try to accept partially, get involved partially, and then try to withdraw the compare. 0:10 Now when you lease something you really don’t own it so if you don’t really have a full conviction that these symptoms that are occurring in you in meditation are truly the right symptoms that’s supposed to happen, you’re going to be daunting and you’re going to be going back to the old feelings that that is the right symptoms to have and then you say “Well every time I get into meditation I have these peculiar sensations.” Now the Lord is getting sort of angry here because he’s showing in his own words the way he’s saying back to the brain or the consciousness that we are kind of foolish. “O ye sons of men,” all you egos, that’s another way of saying it, higher consciousness is saying “Okay ego, wait a minute, take it easy, how long will you turn my glory into shame, how long will you avoid facing the intuitive nature, how long would you avoid this particular inner certitude, this inner wisdom, this inner luminosity of yourself?” “How long will you love vanity,” how long will you remain in the unrealistic thought patterns? They are not real, they’re like show, the sensation of the sensory nature are not real, they’re not the real experiences, they’re not the real sensations. The real sensations is this pulling of their head, this twanging in the ears, this annoying sensation of being expanded and stretched and flowing, these are the real things, these are the real extrasensory frequencies that you’ve got to get into. How long are you going to keep avoiding them, how long are you going to try to dissociate from them? “And seek after leasing,” seek after the other conditions that are only temporary, are not permanent whereas these symptoms are permanent once you understand them. That’s why I say all the symptoms of cosmic consciousness or God awareness are identical like sickness and therefore they feel alike, they look alike, but there is a difference between sickness and cosmic consciousness. In sickness it’s permanently there creating the disturbance in the cells, in cosmic consciousness you have an experience of it knowing that you are a Master of it, it doesn’t affect you, you transcend. “But know,” in other words realize the Lord, the Creative Intelligence, “hath set apart him that is godly for himself.” Now that individual who is going to have cosmic consciousness is set aside to experience all these symptoms that are similar to sickness, you know when a man’s sick you don’t want to be near him right? When you come close to a cosmic conscious person he’s just the same, you don’t want to be too close, he might infect you with his love. “The Lord will hear when I call unto him,” the Lord will hear when I call upon Him. So once the person is fully on the path of inner consciousness, he will hear this awareness, he will be drawn to this awareness and he will recognize this awareness but he will be set aside from every other individual because he is different, he’s not the same individual no more, he’s taken a different attitude to life. So he’s going to be criticized, he’s going to be ostracized and therefore no one would really relate to him so the higher consciousness is saying again now, “Stand in awe,” remain firm in your own consciousness where you are and stop bibbling and babbling with your wandering mind, begin to be where you are and shape up, quit this so-called “you love me, you love me not” technique of the mind, get down to the actual realization that you are singled out for realization and because you’re singled out for realization, you will be realized in spite of yourself, in spite of others trying to tear you down you’ve got to be realized because there’s no other way for you to go. So “stand in awe,” stand in this retrospect, in this condition, accept yourself and be it and “sin no more,” that is don’t deviate from the ideas that you’ve set up to pursue the spiritual life. You have been singled out to pursue a life of discipline of love, a life of self-conscious ethical life so because you’re singled out you may think well people think you’re kind of weird, they don’t want to trust you, you look kind of stupid or something sitting down and munching on whole wheat bread and brown rice or some carrot sticks, “I think you’re weird looking or something is wrong with you” and they’ll try to encourage you to go and have hamburgers and cokes and all types of variations because you’re standing for, you have chosen to do this particular mind expansion by a rational method, they think you’re touched in the head but your science of the religion, your psalms is telling you how to how to face these people. It says “stand in awe,” accept this relation and don’t deviate, don’t sin no more, don’t break away from it, stick to the path, this is the discipline. “Commune with your heart,” practice your meditation upon your bed, go find you spot in your house and forget these people who are gonna constantly pull you all over the city for their virtue. Get in your bed and sit down and do your simran or your hallowing the holy name and meditate with your heart, start bringing your consciousness up to the eye center and quit getting involved in their negative pull to tear you down so the science of the Soul is specific, it gives you a legitimate way to offset the oppression. “Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still,” the process is actually you sit down and you calm the mind for the first time, not trying to tell the Lord how to run His universe. One time I did that, you know what He said to me? “You think you can change it? Try.” And that was the end of my “busy trying to figure out what he was doing with this world. I realized I can’t change anything because there’s nothing there to change, what I have to learn is how to accept Him as He is and that’s the miracle of the whole process, accept Him as He is, whatever happens to you, happens to you. He has a reason for it to happen to you and He has a reason for relieving you from it so there is no argument anymore, strictly live as beingness and you are free, there is no more conflicts, you see. So right away I surrender to the idea, the divine will, and beingness is divine will. Now “stand in awe and sin no more,” as we say “stay where you are and don’t go being pulled by others with their thought patterns trying to tear you down, trying to repeat the old habit patterns again that you’re tring to avoid.” Don’t generate those desires that tends to deteriorate you. “And commune,” that is sit down and meditate with your own heart, with the free will, free joy, happiness, don’t do it like some kind of mechanical thing you know, meditation it’s a joyful thing. In other words (inaudible), relax, be still in your own bed, find a spot. He used the word bed because that’s very close (inaudible), closer to you and a bed, that’s a place where you sleep at night and you really trust the Lord then because when you’re sound asleep you don’t even know if a person is taking your shoes off, you really trust the Lord then when you’re sound asleep on a bed so I’m using a bed as a sacred spot, that’s a personal spot. “And be still,” be just as still as if you were sound asleep, don’t fight the issue or don’t try to generate thought patterns. Then that wonderful Hebrew word comes back, Selah, “what will be, will be,” “So be it.” You can’t fight this, he’s telling (inaudible) that this is the way of the initiative, the initiate accepts, he gets involved with his environment but he doesn’t run from his environment, the involvement is the action and the action is the freedom. Then he says “Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,” see what kind of sacrifice he wants? He doesn’t offer sacrifice in terms of material things. 0:20 When you sit down to meditate offer the sacrifice of righteousness that means you send up the thought, “Father I love you.” That’s the biggest sacrifice you can ever make with your mouth, with your mind, and with your heart. To tell an unseen God that you don’t even know what he looks like you love him, that’s a challenge. It’s easy to love somebody and tell them you love them because you can see them, you see me you tell me you love me that’s because you remember what I look like. Have you ever seen God to tell Him you love Him and really feel it? That’s difficult but that’s a sacrifice, that’s why it’s a sacrifice because you’ve got to make that particular attempt without knowing what to trust Him to make it click for you, to turn you on from inside. “And put your trust in the Lord,” put your trust in a feeling that’s going to come up your spine like this and go to the top of your skull and down and back. You gotta trust now this vital life power coming up in you, it’s called kundalini or vital power and it tingles right all the way and you gotta trust that now. You don’t even see what it looks like but you’re feeling it and you gotta trust that, pretty rough deal but the scriptures are telling you what you got to do and what you have to accept and there just ain’t no other way you can do it. The Science of the Soul is very specific and in the sounds which is called Mantra Yoga it’s to show you how you have to relate to this thing and make it work for yourself. Now we’ve covered the two types of people that exist, we’ve covered the relationship of the government and the system that we exist in in the first two psalms and the third psalm you see now the head of the government is caught up and has to find inner communion to offet the patterns of harassment, what we call modern day lobbyism. So we’re moving on now to Man’s happiness is in God’s favor, how the inner consciousness gains contentment by total awareness, that’s God’s favor, inner contentment from the ego nature to total awareness. “There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?” We’ve all been that route when we have said “is there anybody here who love us or do something for us or do anything good for us?” Lots of us have done this, I’ve said it many times it’s only natural, now why should it not be natural? It is because we don’t know how to evaluate, the mind is not trained to evaluate spiritually yet it’s only evaluating in terms of need, it’s not evaluating in terms of compassion and mercy and grace but only in terms of need and security. So we say, “There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord?” That’s your last resort if you don’t commit suicide, you always turn to this unseen force as if He’s out there waiting for you to ask Him (inaudible) simply because you can’t live without relating to a higher part of your being as a supporting force between them. Unconsciously, subconsciously, intuitively you sense this and you can’t relate to it and you don’t want to accept it, you want to feel that you’re free enough to do without it and you fight desperately. I hope you like these tapes when they’re all finished because they’re all good and snoozy, that will be the joy of thanksgiving. We’re coming back now to Man’s happiness is in God’s favor, as I said before we covered the first two psalms: the first one tells you the types of people you are dealing with in the world, you have to pick a side and be one or the other, the right thinker or positive one or the wrong thinker or the negative one, in the bible language it’s called Godly or ungodly and the second psalms deals with your environment, political makeup, kingdom and all these forms of existence in which we find ourselves. The third psalm shows you have protection in the reference of the environment in that particular frame of activity. Now comes the fourth psalm where the very head of government seeks to be aware of how it will guide itself and at the same time it’s telling you as a person in your own internal guidance how you guide yourself but when you guide yourself there must be a result, you don’t just guide yourself out to something for nothing, it must have some value, by your fruits you will know if you’re making progress. A tree is known by its fruit, the man of spirituality is known by the fruit of his consciousness and his inner peace. So Man’s happiness is in God’s favor, “There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?” This true, many of us will question anybody doing good for us. “Lord lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon me,” in other words let this consciousness radiate. “Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.” Joy comes from within not without, one can have a bumper crop, a large payroll and still be discontent but the joy you feel in meditation every day is entirely different, it spreads out through the entire being and it starts in the heart center, the heart chakra, and there you hear the bells ringing inside, the very first inner experience of the sound current when the heart chakra opens up, you hear the bell ringing. You listen to the sound current and you’re drawn back to God for the first time and you’re attuned to it, that lifts you up. “And I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep,” you know this word sleep repeated itself again, how many Psalms? Every time you read a Psalm there’s a reference to sleep, I said the technique of this mystic life is to be able to think a thought and forget it just like you do in sleep, if you can do that you have the power to work this consciousness, the ability to shut it off. Now if it keeps holding on, then it’s wandering therefore you have no control. The idea is to have a thought and let go then consciousness flows. “For thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety,” in other words our natural make-up of consciousness we would protect ourselves and if we accept our environment wherever we are, that we are in the right place at the right time for the right experience, this is eternal safety. Even if a house is falling down and you are there at that time at that particular place when it’s falling down, with that consciousness you are still going to be safe because it will pull you out and that’s what we call “making it by the skin of your nose” or “photo finish existence,” you’re lucking it through. This is Divine Will, it works, a hairy-scary, nerve wracking existence but it is divine law and you just got to accept it and enjoy it and if you ever get in a spiritual path and you’re really looking for something hair raising, follow Divine Will you’re gonna find out. There’s nothing more hair raising and more nerve wracking and have all the thrills like a roller coaster up and down and that’s the Divine Will at work. Now God’s favors not the wicked, it’s telling you exactly where the favor is, where the particular function of truth exists. God is love and love don’t nourish wickedness or ignorance, love doesn’t sustain it, it withdraws itself. It’s like the species that came here at one time in existence, some of them have gone because they served no purpose after a while, they couldn’t sustain themselves, their multiplication would be too great, they’d have to eventually destroy themselves. If the dinosaurs were around, what would happen? Many of the mastodons were here, if they kept on multiplying over what would happend? We find that nature has a way in which she arranges all these forces to keep the balance, it’s her mystical way, her marvelous way of maintaining harmony. 0:30 Now if we say “survival of the fittest” then that’s a kind of wrong statement when you apply it to a dinosaur, who could survive, who was more fit to survive, you get the idea? Because he was stronger bigger and healthier, he was far more fit to survive than the smaller creatures but if you look at the scriptures, the scriptures give you a clue who actually survives, “the meek will inherit the earth,” who is really surviving, the strong or the weak or the meek, which one of the three are really surviving? It’s not the strong surviving, it’s not the weak surviving, it’s the meek. A meek person is not strong nor weak, a meek person is humble, he’s attuned, therefore he’s synchronized to life itself, he is living Divine Will, he survives. “He that doeth the will of the Lord is my brother and my sister,” that individual is surviving all the time, he’s accepting Divine Law. So we come to that particular statement that “God favors not the wicked” which is the sound of the Psalm and therefore when thoughts are coming up into our consciousness, we realize that unrighteous thoughts or negative thoughts really don’t have any virtue, they’re going to fall apart. Tests that we made in the labs between cultures of generating love with your right hand and generating hate with your left hand and after a while the cultures died under the left hand and those under the right hand began to multiply more and cultures that had no thought given to them, simply neutral, partially multiplied and died out so even love is important without animosity. See you have the animosity to a neutral thing, you say “I don’t love it, I don’t hate it, I’m hands off” even that dies out and those animosity dies out and those that you have some intimacy or bond, it survive and thrives. Now this is proven, now that it’s proven let’s relate this to cells, flesh, the human body which is the temple of the existing principle and work it now, see how it can work. If we can work it and then we’ve got something within our control that’s what we’re looking for, how we can consciously control this mechanism to apply ourselves constructively in our environment efficiently because that’s what we’re here for, we’re not here to run from the world, we’re here to live in it but only by living it can we understand it and understanding is the highest thing you should get if you’re going to get anything out of spirituality. You can’t carry riches in your grave so that’s out of the question, health is something that if you understand these principles you’ll have it, death is a condition if you understand it you surpass it, death is your last enemy, that is your last opposition so what is really the purpose of existence, the art of how to live. If you know this then you understand your existence then there is no more dilemma in your mind, there is no limitations you’re a free person because that’s what you’re supposed to be, free, in charge of this mechanism. Now the Psalm says, “Give ear to my words,” listen, don’t just mere hear, there’s a big difference between hearing and listening, “give ear to my words O Lord and consider my meditation.” Now we come across a strange word, meditation, long before the Maharishi came around to visit us, this word meditation is haunting us now, how do we meditate? Find yourself in bed and commune with your heart, simple right? We don’t have to go and find fantastic techniques, we know how to do the thing, that is just surrender and let the thing happen. “Give ear to my words O Lord, consider my meditation,” that is when you sit down to attune, your words should be the Lord’s name you hollow it or “Father I love you.” Merely “Father I love you” is potent enough to open the centers of your being. “Hearken unto the voice of my cry,” well which Father is going to deny when a child says he loves him, which Father or Mother is going to be hard-hearted and shut out the feeling when the offspring says, “I love you.” You see how powerful (inaudible) you got? God can take back everything He creates in this world from us, even life, but the only thing He can’t force us to give up is love because He’s love Himself, He’s inside of us we, have to give it to Him freely that He cannot employ no pressure upon asking in any way to love Him. Now the moment we say we love Him and let it really happen, He brings this into manifestation, He is forced to reciprocate to you. “Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God,” that means now you’re making consciousness the focal point that governs you which is king, God, a supreme ideal principle within you. “For unto thee will I pray,” unto this particular relationship I will bind myself that’s why I say meditate day and night, we bind ourselves to this commitment of an ideal and an involvement, a sense of judgment and a sense of action. “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning,” now he’s telling you again the time that says this morning, the best time for meditation is what time? You get up at five o’clock and do your two and a half hours of meditation, right? “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” Now when you meditate what position should the eyes be? Turned up to the third eye, it’s centered between, the Christ center in Man, it should always be attuned at the third eye thereby we are validating now what the Japanese scientists are saying, when the eyes are half open we have the full potential of the brain at work. Jesus is saying, “When thine eyes are single, the whole body is full of light.” Well all these only tell us one thing, look up, means the same thing. There is only three positions that the eyes can go in, forward, down, or up, time for yoga classes right? (gap in tape), consciousness should be lined up at the eye center, the pituitary, or focal point, the mental microphone of the brain because you’re broadcasting but you’re not broadcasting anything else than “Father I love you,” you’re not asking Him for anything so real meditation is strictly a flow of love, loving the Lord thy God with all your mind and heart and Soul and your neighbor as yourself. There’s no greater force in this particular type of communion, there’s no greater mantra than “Father I love you,” it’s the cheapest mantra I know, it don’t cost you no $75 to learn and it don’t cost you any fantastic fee to be in touch with, simply that you’ve got to do it and doing is the whole essence of it. “For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness,” for thou art a consciousness total that doesn’t engross itself with deterioration, that’s what wickedness only means, self-erosion. “Neither shall evil dwell with thee,” that is negative living. Total consciousness does not sustain or entertain negative living, it will perish, it will fall apart. 0:40 “The foolish shall not stand in thy sight.” Now the first time you run across the word “fool” and “foolish,” Jesus says “call no man fool,” there must be a reason why we never use the word fool to a human being because there must be some law we are breaking that we are not aware of, some thought pattern we are setting up that we are not aware of and it may involve a karmic debt to it. Now “clown” is a different thing, you can clown around, you can say the man is a clown, but when you say a man is a fool you’re actually cutting the very vital life principle that’s in the individual representing the creator and addressing the creator as a fool and therefore you are addressing yourself at the same time because you and the individual are drawing the same breath from the same atmosphere at the same time. That’s why Jesus is making a very specific meaning or issue of not calling another individual “fool.” “The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity,” the consciousness cannot stand the fact of destruction by his own volition though it has the desire to destroy itself at times but even then it cannot stand the fact because it’s committed by its own natural law to repeat the principle all over to test itself. You will have to go through the process of learning again, you have to come back to another body form to learn out the mistake of making that mistake of killing itself so he has to learn that lesson. “Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing.” Now “destroyed” don’t mean literally hit him on the head and kill him, those individuals who are constantly living in the mind wandering like a “leasing,” constantly mind wandering, they are gradually going to find themselves running out of desires and ideas to latch onto, they’re going to be totally empty after a while, they’re going to reach what is known now, total frustration. “The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man,” we know we can’t survive by hurting others continuously and we know we can’t constantly trick our neighbor or abuse him constantly because we will be doing it to ourselves in actuality, in the end we are doing it to ourselves not doing anybody. So the real lesson we are learning is when we look at ourselves we find out that to be happy must come from inside. Thank you. Audience: (Chanting multiple times) “Govinda Jaya Jaya, Gopala Jaya Jaya, Radha Ramana Hari, Govinda Jaya Jaya.” Adano: Now we are continuing our Psalms. As we said earlier “God favors not the wicked,” that’s the negative thinker and we’re dealing with Psalm 5, verse five, “the foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.” As I mentioned this is the first time we are encountering the word “fool” and the Master Jesus admonished Man that he should never call his fellow Man “fool,” there is a cosmic principle behind that. When call another person “fool” you’re actually calling the God principle in that person too and that is implying your own self because two are related, you and the God principle or that person the God principle are related, you both draw breath from the same source and when you tear down another individual in that aspect you create the karma. “Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing,” in other words we are defeated by the mind wandering, leasing is something that you come and go, you’re never permanent, you’re never stable, and when the mind is wandering it has a tendency to deteriorate and tear you down. “The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man,” well Jesus points that out if you live by the sword, you die by the sword, if you hurt someone and you destroy someone by deceit or plot his death or his particular destruction by pre-meditating it, his kinfolk we want vengance, it’s only natural. So they will go out and try to destroy you and if your kinfolk want vengeance, you go out and destroy their kinfolk and we have what is called a feud like the Mccoys and the Hatfields, all over the world it’s like that, we have this feud going on. What david is saying as an initiate, “But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy,” that is the initiate will turn inward at the eye center. The human body is the house, you’re initiated into the cosmic lifestream and only when you turn inwards you enter. Now at this point of the mechanism, the brain, it’s the only part that can really generate mercy, you have to see and think and once you think then you can be merciful, you can’t do it if you don’t have a head. If you’re you’re living in your senses you couldn’t do it, you have to live on a higher plane of experience, a higher plane of awareness to be merciful. “But as for me,” that is the initiate, “I will come into my house,” which is the human body, “in the multitude of thy mercy,” that’s the storehouse of mercy, consciousness, “and in thy fear,” meaning in that particular attitude of respect, not a fear from damnation or fear of destruction or a fear of being torn down but it’s a attitude of respect. You haven’t designed your body, you don’t know how it functions truly and when you turn inward, you have to have some respect for its construction and it’s that construction that you must turn to and glorify and “worship toward thy holy temple.” 0:50 So David is saying, “But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.” That is to say the initiate will turn towards the human body, which is the temple, the point between the eyebrow located in the “volume of mercy,” which is the head and in that respect or fear he will commune towards the holy temple, the light, that he sees in the body. “Lead me O Lord,” well we know there’s a chap that (inaudible) that song “it takes me back home.” Audience: (Sings an inaudible song). Adano: So the initiate is saying “lead me O Lord,” that is may this light guide you “in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.” Now how is this possible from translation, to make your way straight by your face, it’s kind of odd statement but when you’re an initiate you can understand what he’s talking about. The light is within you and guides you, it’s the Lord in meditation, and your enemies are your five senses that pull you out in the outer realm, in the sensory nature, and if you’re gonna make your face straight you gotta be sort of a poker face and have your eyes turned in. Audience: Just deal the cards. Adano: So you see when you look at the Buddha his face is so serene, straight, turn inwards, and this is primarily the real meaning of looking inwards and making your face straight in the face of your enemies, your five senses. “For there is no faithfulness in their mouth,” now look at your mouth, you know this is peculiar phenomena, we say things and Jesus said, “it’s not what you eat but what comes out of you,” it has to come out of your mouth. So anything we say by our mouth and if we don’t follow up or maintain it, it’s faithfulness so he says there are no faithfulness in their mouth. What comes out is faithfulness if it stays and can stand the test, if it can’t stand the test then it’s not faithfulness. “Their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre.” So what is he talking about, he’s talking of your whole mechanism, you can’t trust it because it’s gonna put you in a state of conflict with yourself, not what you eat will defile you but what comes out of you will defile you. Your thought patterns having an exit now through the mechanism of the body are going to condemn you or put you in a position where you will not be able to defend yourself. “They flatter with their tongue,” so normally sensory desires that tend to stimulate or beguile you will detract your consciousness and you’ll try to pat yourself on your shoulder and then you find out you’ll have to eat your own words back. This is one of the peculiar phenomenons of the spiritual life, you say something you ain’t gonna do it and then turn around find yourself doing it. “Destroy them, O God,” meaning remove this from my consciousness. “Let them fall by their own counsels,” in other words let me not be deceived by my aggressive, violent, thought patterns, how they tend to tear me down. How my own cravings tend to destroy my mechanism, let me not be a victim of internal body language. “Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,” in other words let me get instant karma right away, let me face up to my particular feelings, my particular commitments. “For they have rebelled against thee,” that is these thoughts patterns are set up against the need for growth and not to be trusted. So you don’t want these thought patterns to clear you down, you don’t want to build a consciousness on want, you want to build a consciousness on need. Now scripture says every need will be fulfilled but not your wants so if your needs are going to be fulfilled then your very tongue which always states, “I want this, I want this” when it doesn’t happen you rebel and you get very angry only to find out that the very thought you’re stating in consciousness, the very desire, is an incorrect desire but a need will always be there and that need could be fulfilled, not the want. “But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice,” that means the need, once you come to the realization of the need. “Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them,” if the individual put his trust in the needs and not the wants, the cravings of the thought patterns expressed by the tongue, “let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them.” Your need is always fulfilled, your need is always made manifest in your life and sometimes you express idle needs or idle desires years ahead of the time and they materialize. So you will see now why thoughts are very peculiar, they have a time in which they come to completion. “Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee,” that means the very tongue which loves to hallow the lord by a repetition now, which is a mantra process, let that be joyful. You find you find joy by repeating the mantra and the tongue is that particular vehicle whereby you repeat this process and the mind starts to experience joy. “For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous,” the creative intelligence will start releasing bliss through the mechanism for the first time as you meditate, that means following the right pattern of thinking. “With favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Now you know how that sensation feel around your head when you meditate, like if something is protecting you, like a maddening band, you feel like a force field around you so when your consciousness is raised and you’re on the eye center you start meditating, you start to feel this vast force field around your body building up like a shield, this is the bliss, this is the consciousness that you’re striving for in meditation. Now the sixth Psalms is David’s complaint in his sickness so we have a psalm now or mantra dealing with illness. First for guidance now we’re coming across a complaint in his sickness, we’re finding out that thought patterns are important in the health process. Here is the David’s approach, “O Lord rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure,” that is consciousness does not generate any type of vengeance and the initiate feels that he must be attuned to this divine idea. Neither does he want to be hurt by the divine law of karma that means chastened, “in thy hot displeasure.” 1:00 Now hot is temperature, the first indication of illness is a heat, a fever, the life energy comes up through the body in a vibrant heat and the person is thrown into a state of frenzy or fear or inner action. So the health harmony is thrown off balance, the polarity is thrown off balance, the consciousness now tries to stabilize by thought patterns because it doesn’t understand why this particular imbalance is occurring. So the consciousness turns and states to the life energy, “Have mercy upon me O Lord,” in other words what is this that is occurring in my system, “for I am weak,” that is out of polarity. “O Lord heal me,” creative intelligence or life force is the only thing that heals so it’s the life force that must come forward in consciousness in the human being, “but my bones are vexed.” That’s a particular statement that your bones are “vexed” initiate must know what he’s talking about, vexed that person is vexed, what is he really saying? Audience: Angry. Adano: All right can your bones be angry? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: When a person is vexed with you they would not cooperate with you right, they tend to resist you right, isn’t that true? So your bones really can’t be vexed, they can lack the ability to cooperate in ambulation to your body, when you have a fever you feel that all of the bones are tightening up in your body that is because the tremendous stress is going through you from the built-up toxins in the system. “O Lord heal me” or life force heal me for my bones are cramping up, contracting, resisting motion, they don’t seem to have the energy to move. “My Soul is also sore vexed,” that’s a unusual statement, “my Soul is also sore vexed,” Man is Soul, he doesn’t have a Soul that means “my whole being is sore.” When you start to get a fever what happens, don’t you feel all your whole body is sore? Your whole being is sore and resists any motion from the life force, there is no life force or pep in you so David is saying “my Soul is also sore vexed,” that is my whole body is in a state of resistance.” “But thou O Lord, how long?” Even the initiate is caught up in Kal, the time cycle, he’s asking God how long you gotta be in this situation. You know we have reached a point today how long means how soon can I get a tranquilizer or some type of antibiotic to remove the situation and when you take it how long is it gonna take to heal? The human body is always looking for some short way out to get rid of a particular situation when in reality that body will do a whole lot better if it go through a natural process of cleansing and come out a healthier body than trying to tackle the situation in time and worry about time. David is already despondent because the fever or the illness in him is starting to take its toll in terms of time, he’s saying “return O Lord, deliver my Soul, oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.” You see when life is threatened, when the health is threatened after we have abused it in some way our first major cry is for forgiveness, we want to repent, we feel despondent, we feel loss, it’s the human trait. You don’t know where to turn to, the sense of insecurity comes in, your health is failing and you fear, it’s only normal to fear but if you have faith, like an iron will now, like an iron rod and will only hold on to the divine principle in you, you will be delivered and we see that David goes through the same turmoil. He’s saying, “For in death there is no remembrance of thee,” he’s worried now that he’s going to die you see and who is going to remember, anybody remembers anything when they die? Audience: From that you can assume that he’s been through the death process and he’s nervous going through it. Adano: Right so he had to have been an initiate of understanding the principle of death and only in the body is it worth living to experience God realization, it’s not worth it when you don’t have a body because you don’t know how to live without because there’s nothing to live it with, you need that body for the personal experience all the time so the pain in the body is a necessary experience for realization. Audience: Comparison. Adano: Right, you must have the necessary trial to raise this consciousness to be involved with the spirit and to experience the spirit. “In the grave who shall give thee thanks?” You see he is very specific now as an initiate, he understands truly how can the dead man praise God. All right the dead man is in an electrical body and he’s in the idea body but he doesn’t have a chemical body. While he’s alive the chemical body is breaking down by illness or some type of internal conflict but nevertheless the initiate knows that if he will break through this particular situation and correct it again, he can continue the spiritual life in the chemical body. Audience: Well is breaking down the body (inaudible). Adano: Right. (Gap in tape)… discomfort but it’s a necessary means in which you get the strength. It is a discomfort to groan and feel sore and queasy all over and vex means to be stiff, lacking the ability to cope with the situation of a body that you know and love and (inaudible) and then he goes on and says, “all the night make I my bed to swim.” He’s groaning and “all the night make I my bed to swim.” Now you see uh we didn’t have no water beds over these guys (laughter), they’ve done made their bed out of water a long time. “I water my couch,” who would want water on his couch now, what does that mean? A water bed, he had to be filling it up somewhere, “I water my couch with my tears,” in other words the anguish, the agony, the perspiration, the groaning and everything has come to the point that the whole bed is swamped away. Audience: (Inaudible) during sleep and everything. Adano: Right, good. Now, he says now “Mine eye is consumed because of grief,” in illness your eyes get hot and red from the insecurity or fear that life may be going out of you and the possibility of recovering is not in sight. No one is qualified to say to you as initiate you’re going to be well, your trust in a divine presence is simply a matter between you and Him. Audience: It’s your own responsibility. Adano: Right, now even if a Master says you’re going to be well and you take His word, you still got to wait till this wellness comes through, right? Good. 1:10 “My eye is consumed because of grief, it waxeth old because of all mine enemies,” that means the same eye that you use to pursue the sensory nature which is your enemies now is starting to get dim, those pleasures don’t seem to attract you now because health is leaving the body. Audience: This is a different eye than the (inaudible). Adano: Right that is because the eye of understanding or perception is starting to get a different sense of value now, you look around and you start to see people going around and you feel very very, what do you call it, complacent, very lonesome, they’re telling you good wishes but your eyes have begun to see now the mistakes you made by using it, you were engrossed at the bullfight or were engrossed in drinking or playing and you could have used your eyes for something better but you didn’t. Now when the eyes are burning up and the consciousness is ready to leave and the vitality is going, you start to cry out, “I can’t see, I don’t know where I am.” So these organs tend to bring on this grief so he’s saying, “Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity,” that means “depart from me all ye desires,” these are workers that tend to break down this mechanism. “For the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping,” intuitive nature is coming to the rescue now, I may transcend the pull of the senses. “The lord hath heard my supplication, the Lord will receive my prayer,” the vital consciousness, the vital force is starting to spark, as he is repeating or calling upon it he feels a glow, he feels that inner assurance that he’s going to make it, the will to live is there now. The only thing the doctor says when we are dying is that the man or the woman has lost the… Audience: Will to live. Adano: Will to live. Now if the Lord is the will, the vital power, and life is that force and that will to live or vital force is pushed or pulled from within the mechanism to the surface, the human being will transcend his disease, the will to live, the will to survive. So that really means “the Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer,” the will to live will come into manifestation. Now he says, “Let all mine enemies be ashamed,” let all my sensory pleasures fall apart. In other words your your sensory desires and your friends who wish to see you sick and dying are all of a sudden they’re waking up to see you getting healthy. You know some people are very good well wishers in this way, “oh he’s got this disease and boy we sure wish he didn’t have it” and every time they keep thinking he’s got the disease and they wish he didn’t have it and they kept repeating the name of the disease and “wish he didn’t have it.” So they have a dualistic thought: one he’s got it and one he ain’t got it, you see, so how can you rely on those individuals? Their thought patterns are hitting you and pulling you, hitting you and pulling you, they can see you’ve got such and such a disease, you’re gonna die but “I ain’t gonna make no attempt to pray for you to get you well.” So before you know it when you do survive all their good well wishes and you survive all their auric observations of you, they are puzzled, how did you make it? Look what connection you got to the Lord. They want you to die with their good wishes because they already see you dying from a certain disease and now you’re getting over the disease, you’re a mystery to them. “Let all mine enemies be ashamed,” let the thought patterns of those individuals who tend to crystallize the disease around you without ever trying to understand the cause and modify it be ashamed. In other words they’re in a position to see by their auric vision or their ex-sensory vision, they should not be the first to condone or admit the disease, they should be forced to modify the situation. If you have insight into a certain principle of another person’s health pattern, you should be the first person to tell them that they got that problem, he should be the first person to try to wish that this force field would uh alleviate itself. So he says “Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore and vexed,” let them be confused, “let them return and be ashamed suddenly.” In other words let them come to the realization they were in a position to pray for the individual before the individual was informed that such and such a condition existed in him. Audience: That’s a good prayer, he’s asking if they have the realization of their opportunity. Adano: Right, so David is showing as an initiative how one should go through illness, the psalm now is that particular extrasensory aid or prayer form or affirmation to live out a basic problem. Now he goes on now to show you that once you have mastered this particular thought pattern of illness around you from others thoughts, you’re going to find yourself in their emotional feedback so Psalm number seven tells you he’s praying against the malice now his enemies, that’s the emotional feedback. “O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust,” that is to say in the divine life current that heals and create, it’s the only thing we can trust we don’t see it, we have to accept It’s existence by looking at ourselves that we are the result of this principle. We can personalize it by calling it God, we can call it Father, Mother, or whatever we want but we have to trust It. So he says “O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust,” the individual must come to the actual realization that the divine life principle working through him and the sperm to make him come in contact with the ovum brought this body into manifestation against the odds of other sperms in the uterine canal, he has to trust this divine law. Now when you are traveling up the uterine canal as a sperm, the chances for you to succeed maybe a million to one but the result is that you are here and the rest are not and that is the actual test of your trust. You don’t know how you got here but you know you are here and as long as you are here, nobody is going to push you out so that is the trust that is the divine will. “Save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me,” in other words once you accept this divine principle in yourself, the thought patterns of those who are constantly playing upon your consciousness, this same vital power now will pull you through, just as it did pull you through the many other sperm to get to the ovum and those other people around us in the living form now are only manifestations of the sperm, the same law applies now. How you succeeded to become a human being, you can succeed now to survive in your environment against the thought patterns of others. “Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.” Well human beings have a tendency to tear us up or like you say that they’re like wolves in sheep’s clothing. They mean well, they think they mean well at times but unconsciously they can be hurting us with their thought patterns and they can tear us up. 1:20 We have to be very circumspect, we have to be aware of that, we have to be attuned to the fact that negative thought can hurt us. We’ve started out the whole process with the first two types of people that exist: the right thinking type and the wrong thinking type. So we know that if we align ourselves with the spirit, we have to be right thinking and we will have to have the opposite in confrontation, life is polarity, life is this contest. “O Lord my Soul, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands.” Well this is the first thing you were trying to clear yourself, you always worry about the karma if you’ve done something to somebody that something is happening to you. Moses said “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” and David is an initiate who understands the law of karma “as you sow, that you reap.” Now in the evaluation of his karma, he is trying to understand if he has done this before to someone, now you gotta realize it could be before his present life or before he came to the realization of his illness. “O Lord my God if I have done this,” the time cycle could be present or past. “If there’ll be iniquity in my hands,” if there’ll be a careless desire pattern set up, that means if I am totally responsible. “If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me.” Now you see how he goes about to show you the karma? “If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me.” If I hurt somebody in thought pattern who mentally, physically is at peace with me, “yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy.” I have actually made that man my enemy, I am responsible. If I have actually hurt that person who was at peace with me who had a mental love, a mental joy, and caused that person not to be in anguish, I have actually made that man or woman my enemy. That person now has a right to confront me by the law of karma so he’s saying now to the life force, “let the enemy persecute my Soul,” let me take my punishment, I have done it, I don’t refuse to face my medicine, I don’t refuse to drink this bitter cup, what I sow, I have to reap, but there’s a lesson to learn in the involvement. “Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth” means let them go to the extent of ostracizing me, making me ridiculous before my fellow Man, even tearing me up in all aspects. “And lay mine honour in the dust.” You see if someone has hurt you, he has all right to do you anything to the point but he can’t take your life. You see the initiate has to be able to face the involvement of hurting someone and be hurt back but he must also realize that life must persist over death, we don’t have a right to kill and we don’t have a right to be killed back. Now, “Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it… and lay mine honour in the dust.” That means I’m no longer respected by others, but that doesn’t say your enemy has the right to kill. Now again that wonderful Hebrew word “Selah” comes in, that means “so be it, it’s got to happen.” Audience: (Sneeze). Adano: Gesundheit, the law is when you sneeze you gotta… you’re sneezing on the truth you see. When the truth is true, you’ve got to sneeze on it sometime. Que Selah, Selah, what will be, will be. “Atchoo,” that’s a sneeze. That’s what they call knowing the truth and understanding it. Now the initiate is going on to describe David he says. “Arise, O Lord, in thine anger.” He has accepted his mistakes, he’s accepted the fact that the individual he has hurt has a right to do this to him. Now he’s calling upon the vital power which is in all of us in the enemy that he’s hurt, in himself, “in thine anger.” He’s saying he doesn’t pull no bones there, he’s not avoiding chastisement. He says “Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment.” In other words this vital power must come into manifestation so that we both of us, myself and the enemy can reconcile ourselves at some point, we have to come to a final confrontation. Now in the final confrontation, one of the two must make some surrender to the Lord for his mistakes, he must admit his mistakes. So he’s saying now “Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies.” In other words this vital power that is triggering off the anger from the adrenals of my enemies are reaching a point where it can be destructive, it can be violent. “Awake for me,” that means open my consciousness to the judgment, what has been meted out to me, what I have to bear in this particular involvement, this particular tearing down, “that thou has commanded.” The life force is demanding restitution between these two, I have hurt someone and I don’t understand how deep I hurt them and I can’t realize the anguish, the shock that it would have caused the person, the hurt. Now if that person returns back to me and I am in a state of turmoil now, this vital power has to come to a point where it will never get to a state of a feud, it must start stabilizing. So he says “So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about.” In other words all human beings will begin to have compassion, they will begin to recognize that human beings who have hurt one another must face one another and make some type of reconciliation with one another. “So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about for their sake therefore return thou on high.” In other words if two individuals hurt each other and the hurt continues to become a feud, other human beings are going to get caught up in the feud and they are going to take sides. Now if you look at a war, one nation attacks another nation, the nation that is attacked may be weak. To prevent being swallowed up by the other nation, what does it do? It cries out for help that encompasses other people to participate and before you know it what have we got? A world war right? We have everyone being drawn into this situation because sides are starting to form. Equally true David is realizing this and he is asking that this situation come to a head where it will not spread any further. So he says “So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes.” For the sake of harmony and balance “return thou on high” bring about a halt, an end to this internal conflict. “The Lord shall judge the people” that is the vital life power shall be the guiding judgment in the individual. Then he goes on to make himself the specific target, “judge me O Lord according to my righteousness.”
1970 - South Carolina Group
Adano70_SCarolinaGroupQ4RR - … a nation through a king and they made the king what is called a “priest king” or initiate king because he was selected by the prophet men or the initiate men and made to rule people. So church and state began way back in a (inaudible) relationship, now because most of these men had such a tremendous power over the throne or over people sometimes all of them were not fully developed and because they were not fully developed insecurity crept in but we are looking at something that is happening physically and something is happening spiritually. The world is evolving and the people are evolving, now a prophet king would try to run his nation or his country and keep it above the rest of the nations from tearing it down yet he might encourage certain karma in that time and the prophets may predict that because he did such and such a thing, the law is going to take its toll on your kingdom but this is occurring from an astrological law too. If the king, you see there are four ages: a golden age, a silver age, a bronze age, and an iron age. In the Hindu writings they call the iron age they call it the dark age, Kali Yuga, which we just came out of and they call the bronze age Dvapara, Aquarian age, and they call the silver age Treta and they they call the golden age (inaudible). Now these ages have a certain amount of years as they become apparent that the change that takes place. The people begins to change, the politics begins to change, the evolution begins to change. Now, but we are only in possession of evidence of a downward climb in the cycle, we’re in no possession of the upward climb. We have to wait until many exchanges or many things occur to show us evidence of this Earth had these golden periods. Now Atlantis sunk thousands of years ago. Audience: Do you think we had many advanced civilizations just as much if not if not more so than what we have today? Adano: Yes, we have four great civilizations. You see this planet Earth is four and a half billion years old. Audience: I’m talking about the pyraminds. Adano: Pyramids is only the last civilization of the last billion years, see the thing is Atlantis sunk four times and space travel, this is the first time we’re doing it. Audience: Do you think this whole story, all this knowledge is stored in the pyramids? Adano: More than the pyramids, pyramids is just a section of it that was able to be retained, the greater portion is locked in the Akashic records, that means in the etheric field, it’s a field force in space. (inaudible). Audience: What do you think is going to happen now Adano? Adano: Well we are on the ascendent part of the clock so we gonna learn from our past mistakes, that’s why we are fighting outselves all the time, we improve as we go around the clock all the time. The one thing we are learning about ourselves in a physical form of creation is to refine our nature that’s what we’re learning. That’s why we say we’re trying to go from reincartion to resurrection, it’s a refining process. So “to him that overcome, I will not send forth a second time but will make him a pillar in the house of my Lord.” To him that overcomes these cycles or Yugas within the astrological signs, you don’t have to reincarnate no more or second times, it may be second million times or second billion times, he doesn’t have to repeat this process once he has overcome the pull. He will become a pillar, that means a fixture, an actual non-decaying, non-dying quality, an immortal principle in creation and this is what resurrection is. Resurrection is a principle in which it’s life over death, now it’s called immortality of the body. Now the scriptures also go on to say, “When this body has thrown off corruption,” when this body has thrown off the capacity to decay, that’s what corruption really means literally, when it ceases to exihibit the quality of decaying and takes on the quality of non-corruption or non-decay that body will be glorified in the Lord. In other words when Man begins to refine his nature more and more, he will magnify this creative principle. Now he will not be limited to the material conditions of the world but this is some lessons he has to learn. He has to learn to be in this environment, he has to change this environment both by physical methods, mental methods, and by spiritual methods and each time he attempts it, he’s going to learn more and more about himself. Audience: Do you think we’re going into a period of (inaudible)? Adano: No, the worst is yet to come between 1986 to 1996. Audience: The real peace is within the individual himself. Adano: There is no peace outside, creation was never designed to have peace outside. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No, no, environmental harmony among men, it’s temporary, it’s not permanent, and the Yugas will always change them because we can only go so long in one of these cycles and then it will start changing. Now let’s take for instance the dark age, environmental harmony was not existing in the dark ages or the middle ages that was the last thousand years, the whole environment Man was killing each other in the name of God too you know especially the Spanish Inquisition period, the Crusades. 0:10 Audience: When you say (inaudible) this young man said that it was in the individual in the heart, well when the time of Christ during the times of the millennium isn’t that the time that everybody would think about looking for Jesus to be here walking among men but isn’t the millennium when Jesus comes, isn’t that his spirit when it comes in the heart of men like he was just speaking about? Adano: You know Jesus walked the Earth in the middle part of the Middle East, Palestine, yet he didn’t affect somebody living way across in Brittany, he didn’t affect people living way across in southern Spain, he didn’t affect people living in southern Africa. A Master walks on the Earth, his spirit doesn’t affect nobody unless they are ready for it. Now by composition by the written word people can be exposed to it, but that is like saying to me, “I have a toothache and the doctor who devised the technique of taking teeth out way back in 1873, he’s not arrived to take my tooth out, I’d have to go and find a dentist who is living today who has learned the technique that has been recorded to take the tooth out then the only credit I can give, I can’t give credit to the present doctor in the physical frame, I give credit to the knowledge that has been recorded from that history. Equally true we’re talking of a Christ principle, we’re talking of the man Jesus or a Master or any Master for that matter. The principle are gonna be the same, they’re never gonna change even if we are ignorant or we are wise, these principles are not gonna change. Wherever we are when we go inside and we feel the Christ inside of us, the principle inside of us, this will give us the peace but to say I am waiting for someone to walk on the Earth and come along and give me the peace, I’ll be waiting a long time because the Earth is never left unto itself without God realized men. God realized men walk the Earth every day right among us and we have the eyes but can’t see them, we have the ears but can’t hear them but God realization… Audience: Does that mean Man will become more aware in this certain period of time and he’s going to become more aware of Christ in his heart. Adano: Yes, this will be true, this is what he will be doing, he will become more aware of the Christ within himself, he will realize it’s a principle but this principle has never changed, this principle has always been with us. Now while it has been with us at the height of what you call the highest civilization to the lowest civilization, they have always had the principle, it will never change. Audience: (Inaudible), becoming aware within. Adano: Well we must go to the very personal Jesus, we must ask ourselves now where did the word Christ come from. (Inaudible) from all the writings, where did the word Christ come from and who was called Christ. It is Jesus Christ or Jesus the Christ and who used the word Christ, what language the word of Christ is found? Christ is not an english word. Audience: I never thought about what you said but even if Jesus Christ himself did come back as we see it today, we would have to have a real good public relations system, I mean you know to get the word out and then a lot of people would think that it was just a joke so he could come to some place up north and he would be there all the time. Adano: Even if He comes today literally, saying that’s what it means, if he comes today literally, walk on the earth, I remember my friend who lives in Arkansas she was asked to teach Sunday school by the priest or minister and she said to him, “I can’t teach Sunday school because if Jesus Christ were to walk in this church right now, all of us are going to get up and say hey you hippie, get out of here. Where are you going with that long beard and those sandals, who do you think you are?” (Laughter). All right but this is the confrontation, if he’s going to be literally. Now the first thing if he gets up on the pulpit and says, “I’m about my Father’s business (inaudible, I run this place not you.” And if He said, “I’m Jesus Christ come back to make amends and correct everything,” everybody would want to crucify him. It sounds kinda ridiculous out of proportion in terms of rational thinking that the body form is the form that’s going to go on giving peace to everybody. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Right, it’s the spiritual awakening in our lives that is gonna give us the peace, it’s an inward contact. You see, it is at initiation we come in contact with the Christ. You see Jesus when he came on the earth, He taught this principle of contacting the Christ in Man. Now He never referred himself as Christ you see, this is what people get mistaken because he asked his own disciples, “Who do Men say that I am?” And some said “Thou art a prophet,” some said, “Thou art Elijah come back,” yet Peter was the only man to shout at the top of his voice, “Thou art Christ, son of the living God.” He didn’t say “Thou art Christ, the ONLY son of the living God.” This is the thing we have to consider when people said it, “Thou art Christ, son of the living God.” Jesus told him right away, “I didn’t tell you that, I didn’t tell you that I am Christ, but the Father which is within ye revealed it to thee.” Now what did the Father reveal to Peter that he saw in Jesus that would make Peter be convinced that he is looking at the Christ? It would have to be the Christ in Peter awakened to recognize the Christ that is fully awakened in the man Jesus. Audience: Now what do you call it Christ? Adano: Christ is the intuitive awareness, the intelligence governing creation. God is creation but God is the intelligence in creation and outside of creation. God is Christ already, God is the intelligence in creation, “You see me, you see the Father,” it is the intelligence that governs creation. Now, but God is also the intelligence outside of creation because He made the universe in six days (inaudible) and rested on the seventh. That means God in a manifested process of total awareness slowed down His intelligence principle, became this universe in six cycles, which you call six days, and on the seventh cycle became the repository, it’s like a blackboard now, a blackboard is the repository of the writings that you put in it and every time you can write it off but the blackboard is still there. So the divine source of light is a repository, it’s the intelligence that holds everything now and it’s unmanifested, you can’t see it, you only can feel It’s presence, you don’t see God. All through the scriptures all the great men tell us, “No Man see God but feel His presence.” 0:20 Now Jesus even said it, “My God is a God of Spirit (inaudible).” There just ain’t no way that you can see Joy but you can feel Joy. Now the Christ Intelligence is the intelligence that works in a physical form but His own disciples went on to say “As many as received Him” as many as become conscious of this intelligence in themselves like Peter, becoming conscious of it, “to them gave He,” this experience made it possible now, “for Man to become sons of God.” It didn’t say that Jesus was the only son of God, it says “Christ the son of God.” Now the same Hebrew word S-O-L, SOL is sun, which is a light, the same word is S-O-N in Hebrew, the word SOL has two meanings S-U-N and S-O-N and we are translated from Hebrew into Greek into Latin. So the early Hebrew people were referring to a light, (inaudible) but the Greek people did not understand it and the Greek concept of God was always a Sun is gotta be a physical image of a human form. The Latin people, they loved to see their God with a big arm, mighty shoulder, big beard, (inaudible) across the Universe bringing things to life but the Hebrew people said they don’t believe in that because they don’t see God as image and they’re the only people that don’t have images in the church. So they don’t think what we call a personalized form of God, they think of an impersonal God as Divine Spirit and if the Sun, the Sun manifestation of the impersonal God is going to be represented, the only way they can represent it is be an S-U-N, a light. Now Jesus is talking of this same light because “When thine eyes are single, the whole body is full of light” and “You see Me, you see the Father.” Now for a Hebrew mind this is correct but God consciousness is light in Man so a Greek mind, the human body standing in front of him is the God because he’s accustomed to Hercules being a son of Zeus or (inaudible) being the son of some other great God and they’re going around putting things right in the world, do you see what the conflict is? The Greek thinking and the Roman thinking has strayed away from the real meaning of the word Sol, Sun, or Light and then translating they could not accept that the Hebrew people were thinking that the sun was a radiant light, they were thinking of somebody in a human form but today we have the confrontation, there is not a single Hebrew person or a Jewish person who will accept the concept that God has a Son in a physical body but they will accept the fact that God can be seen as a Sun within the human body. Now they will accept that realization can come from observing that light and that would be a total awareness of themselves. Audience: And yet they do expect a Messiah. Adano: Yes, they do expect the Messiah not in the person, here again we get back to the thing, what the word Messiah means, how did they begin to expect the messiah and what triggered them to expect the messiah? When they were enslaved in Egypt they prayed for deliverance, now when a man faced the deliverance when he is politically enslaved, what type of liberator would he want because the word Messiah means to liberate, to save or liberate, to save someone or liberate. Now a savior doesn’t tell us if he is a political person or a religious person, now there are only two types of messiahs: a political one and a spiritual one because the word means savior or to liberate. Now Simon Bolivar was a liberator of the people of South America, he was their savior just as much as Castro is a savior to some Cubans because that is what they wanted so the word messiah only means savior or liberator. Now they were imprisoned or enslaved by the Egyptians so literally they are calling on the word messiah, “send us a messiah Lord, send us a messiah,” in other words “send us a champion, send us somebody to liberate us from this physical bondage.” They got their liberator but they didn’t recognize him since there are only two types. The first one was a political one, Moses, he came into their life and what did he do for the Jewish people? He took them out of physical, political bondage and set them on the road to nationhood and when they were at the peak of their nationhood, then their greatest king who was Solomon, they reached the height of egotistical pride. They were in a dungeon at one time when they were chained and beaten by their oppressors and when they got to the top of the ladder, they did exactly what any human being would do, they oppressed their fellow Man. So the law of cause and effect, God says, “Vengence is mine sayeth the Lord,” I’ve got a way to put things right. In other words, I’m gonna (inaudible) bring you down back, I’ll make you eat your own words back. He brought them down from the top of nationhood right back to slavery under the Roman government so when they came down back into slavery in the Roman government what else could they do but cry out for another savior, “lord send us a messiah.” All right the Lord is going to give them a messiah, not a messiah that is going to give them nationhood no more because they didn’t appreciate nationhood when they had it. The Lord is going to give them now a liberator who would teach them how to live with each other that all men are equal in this universe and all men have to learn to accept each other in terms of harmony and divine consciousness. Now this liberator is not only going to come as a physical man but He’s going to live in the simple life so ridiculously a simple life that you’re not even going to recognize Him and that his way of living would be only to obtain what is called “inner contentment.” Audience: But now what about the part of the bible that says (inaudible) in other words they were blinded to the fact that Jesus Christ was the Christ but when this veil is lifted, they didn’t recognize him according to the Bible. (Gap in tape). Adano: … is initiated, the veil is lifted and he begins to see the Christ light inside and unless he be born again by (inaudible) be born of the spirit. Now there are only two type of people in this world: a non-initiate and an initiate and the word “initiation” means to be introducted to, right? Now to introduce you to the Christ-self, it takes another human being. Now Jesus had to go to John (gap in tape)… 0:30 Audience: … because this fellowship was formed just about two years ago we had been talking about it for quite some time in fact a couple of years (inaudible). So we started really working at it about two years ago this April and the lawyer started drawing up the articles of incorporation (inaudible) and really want you to read them. Now we keep books on this just as any business keeps books (inaudible). When we go through the mail each day and there is a contribution immediately there is an entry (inaudible). Adano: You see we hope to have what is called four seminars every year for the four seasons and speakers of all Saints will be present and discuss the scientific basises of religion in their own personal experience and try to help individuals in the discovery of that experience in the own self. This coming June we hope that Swami Anand, the Swami that initiated me into Swami-hood and my wife would be coming back to the states and would visit the retreat, which he wants to do, and spend a few days on whole seminars in meditation. Also there’s a Swami Mutkananda and a few others we would want to come, we’ve met them already and they are deeply interested in the Fellowship work. So people from the East, Middle East, Europe, and the States who have actually done research in a scientific way on religion hope to come together. Last December I was invited to the first congress (inaudible) Dehli but I couldn’t go, this is based on a scientific presentation on religion. They are gathering doctors and scientists from all over the world on their own personal researches in religion. We hope to have this same congress come to the States and if we are fortunate to do this in a position where the retreat can sponsor the convention or the opportunity, then this would be quite a base for the research. Audience: (Inaudible) … Adano: Normally you go to India to get it and it’s a direct link from the very first order of the Swami order, Swami Shankara, and you have a direct link with that all the way back, it’s conferred in you, but traditionally you go to India and when he walked in the room and did this (inaudible) really flipped out because she didn’t know what was happening. Now in India you have to take the vow of renunciation, but family ties and everything, but then she finds out there are also female Swamis and they’re called Swamini. See masculine, Swami, feminine Swamini so she is Swamini too. See my name is Swami Nityananda and her name is Swamini (inaudible). Nityananda means “ever new bliss” and (inaudible) means “wisdom of the ages,” one who is master of the wisdom of the ages. 0:40 Audience: When did this take place? Adano: This took place in 1969, October. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You see at the end of every Swami’s name there is a little word (Inaudible). Now the Swami that confirmed the Swami-hood on you, his name was Swami Anand Saraswati. Now Saraswati means to work with the intellectual people. Now, so he conferred this title on me as Swami Nityananda Saraswati meaning “I go and work among intellectual people.” Now Nityananda means ever new bliss, to bring the ever new of God among the intellectual people. There is also seven other names so we have people that work in the woods, people that work in the mountains, people who work among intellectual people, people who work in the arts, and people who work among (gap in tape). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: So he being Swami Ananda Saraswati when he conferred on me from that lineage, I am then classified as Swami Nityananda Saraswati. Now Yoganada is Swami Yogananda Giri because his teacher Sri Yukteswar was Sri Yukteswar Giri that means he was working among the mountain people or people who were in the mountains or miners. Now he lived in India and he did go among the people in the mountain regions and eventually when he came to this country, he worked among everybody. Audience: What about Charan Singh? Adano: Master Charan Singh Maharaj, Maha means great king or great prince, his title is Master you see. Now he is a living Master and we refer to him as Maharaji. Audience: Some people call him Swamiji. Adano: Now Anand Swami also has that same title, Anand Swami Saraswati Maharaji. Now Maha means great, Raja means king and “ji” is a sort of a personal affinity of tenderness to the person. Audience: See Mahatma Gandi, Maha meant great, Atma meant Soul. Great Soul. Adano: But the Indian names are not given or chosen just because you want them, they are conferred on you because of the degree in which you have come in your own growth. You see that’s the problem in the name, it’s not like a priest or a minister who is ordained, this is something he has to work in his own inner consciousness then that is bestowed on him. That’s why if I was to go to India I’d have to go to the Shankara order and spend the time in study to have it conferred. As far as I know of and I can’t vouch for any part of the United States or Europe, as far as I know what’s on record I’m the only person he has ever confirmed outside of India. It might have been conferred on others but all of that I’ve read concerning the various Swamis, they have all gone to India to have it conferred on them. Audience: Anand, is that all he did, he didn’t put you through a ritual or a ceremony, he just told you, patted you on the back and conferred it on you? Adano: Literally he gave me a karate chop. Audience: (Laughter, then inaudible). The children just love him, they go up to him and he’ll get them to clap their hands. (Inaudible). This Indian couple in Dallas and he was going to visit, they were quite excited of course and a tremendous honor for their home and the little woman was the wife there, she was busy making applique designs on cushion covers of the Om sign you know in his honor and everything, at two or three in the morning she was sewing away you know, chanting and meditating and all of a sudden it’s Jesus standing in the room. (Inaudible). Finally she went out and went into her husband and he’s an electronic engineer and he was sitting in the bedroom meditating in front of their altar. “Asok, here I’m meditating and chanting to Lord Krishna and Jesus (inaudible then laughter). “What did you expect? We’re in a Western country!” (Laughter). Adano: Well he’s explaining to me the next day, he said “What did you expect? We’re living in a Western country, what do you want to see?” You can just picture a Westerner living in India praying to Jesus Christ and Krishna shows up. (Laughter). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Our Indian friend, he saw for the first time some Master standing in front of the (inaudible). 0:50 Audience: We got some words ofencouragement from another Swami, Mutkananda, he’s a doctor in India, homeopathic (inaudible) more natural methods. (Inaudible) and his Guru is the doctor also and in fact the main disciples in that line all have to become doctors. (Inaudible). Adano: Well there’s a tremendous bond of love between the two of us (inaudible) but my name is the same name as his own spiritual Guru you see, Nityananda, meaning that quality that his Guru carried in consciousness. Whenever they give you this name it infers that this quality is carried over that’s why there’s such a bond there, he felt again he was looking back to that quality that he recognized. Yogananda’s name you see is also Paramahansa Yogananda before he was a Swami Yogananda and he got the name Paramahansa in front of it. Well Swami Mutkananda is also a Paramahansa. Audience: What does that mean? Adano: Divine Swan, in other words the consciousness goes up more and more in the God-self, these are levels of development and mastery that the person is it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well it’s peculiar how you can recognize these qualities. We were sitting down and in meditation and she had never told him that anything was wrong with her or she needed any kind of help but he got up and went out of the room and he came back in the room and I let her tell you what he did. Audience: Well being in the presence of such a Soul (inaudible). He had sent everyone away, there had been quite a group of people and he sent them all away except five of us, one was an Indian friend of ours who acted as a translator. Audience: Are you talking about Yogananda? Audience: No Mutkananda and then Adano and I and then two friends of ours and he told us that there was this great bond of love with Adano and then all of the five of us, we were all sitting there meditating and I knew he had stopped. (Inaudible). You could feel the love flowing out to all of us. (Inaudible). Adano: And he doesn’t speak much English but you can feel his consciousness just going out and when he questioned us at length about the retreat and everything really through the interpreter, when he finally said he wanted to come to see the retreat and see some people there. So we did’t know, the retreat itself would be a meeting ground for many of these advanced Masters in the flesh to give us that lifting consciousness that we need and it’s a fulfillment of some of the promises made by Yogananda and the other great Masters that East and West will have a meeting ground for the first time in practical meditation and we hope that the work we are doing could be the basis of this meeting ground and I’m happy to find that it is occurring in the place we call the rose capital of the world. (Gap in tape) built on an island in the middle of the lake dedicated to that purpose, where initiations are carried on and will be maintained, the four basic initiations of the Soul and an orchard and an area for growing food to sustain the community and a community house and some part of it to be self-supporting and the rest would strictly be for spiritual growth and we would have what is called a few sections for the training of instructors in meditation. This is primarily the purpose of the retreat that those who come, spend some time in the retreat and those who will be trained as instructors in meditation. You see America will produce their own Swamis too. Audience: If you want to become an instructor or if you want to come to the retreat and stay, what did you say? Adano: Well we will build a place for people to stay. Audience: (Inaudible). Well we have to get the land paid for before we can put in the buildings. Adano: You see this is a mistake some people made, building things on the property and then found themselves in a bind. The Masters are very practical people and if you’re going to do something from practical standpoint, it’s wise to own the land and then build on it after. You see all the ashrams in India are owned outright by the organization and they usually acquire the land first so that there is no lien on the land and then they begin to build their structures and everything. 1:00 So in our case we are trying to follow the practical thing by acquiring the land in ownership free and then to build on it and we don’t want to build a mess of buildings that will later be torn down because of wrong planning and they don’t want to put up any type of structure that is going to be antiquated in a period of few years, it must be in alignment with the future development of the age and the architectural approach of the coming age so there is a great deal of planning and inspiration and including awakening to go into it but each phase falls into place because the Golden Lotus Temple is as futuristic as it will ever be in India, it seems ageless, there is no way to tell when it was design or if it was this age or past or future, it’s one of those designs. Equal true we’re trying to make something that would fit into that nature so last week when we were discussing, Mark came up with a design that is very economic and seems very unusual because it’s going to fit into most of what would appear to be futuristic and at the same time fit the functional needs of the Fellowship. It’s a type of design that can be easily constructed, put together, and sustain itself taking full advantage of all the aspects of heating, air conditioning, and space to work in. (Gap in tape). Adano and Audience: Listen, listen, listen to my heart song. Listen, listen, listen to my heart song. I will never forget Thee, I will never forsake Thee. I will never forget Thee, I will never forsake Thee. (Repeated 3 times). Adano: Now we just sang that and most of us think that we’re asking God to listen to our heart song and we won’t forsake him or forget him but that’s not what the song is intended. The song is intended, or the chant is intended, that you listen to God and His heart song and that He is not forsaking you or forgetting you, there is the big difference. When we chant it, it is to realize that God can’t forsake us or forget us and He is the heart song so let us chant this with this comprehension now and with love. Adano and Audience Chanting: Listen, listen, listen to my heart song. Listen, listen, listen to my heart song. I will never forget Thee, I will never forsake Thee. I will never forget Thee, I will never forsake Thee. (Repeated 3 times). Adano and Audience Chanting: It’s love, it’s love, it’s love that makes the world go round. It’s love, it’s love, it’s love that makes the world go round. It’s love, love, love, love, love. It’s joy, it’s joy, it’s joy that makes the world go round. It’s joy, it’s joy, it’s joy that makes the world go round. It’s joy, joy, joy, joy, joy. It’s peace, it’s peace, it’s peace that makes the world go round. It’s peace, it’s peace, it’s peace that makes the world go round. It’s peace, peace, peace, peace, peace. It’s bliss, it’s bliss, it’s bliss that makes the world go round. It’s bliss, it’s bliss, it’s bliss that makes the world go round. It’s bliss, bliss, bliss, bliss, bliss. It’s friends, it’s friends, it’s friends that makes the world go round. It’s friends, it’s friends, it’s friends that makes the world go round. It’s friends, friends, friends, friends, friends. It’s God, it’s God, it’s God that makes the world go round. It’s God, it’s God, it’s God that makes the world go round. It’s God, God, God, God, God. (Repeated 2 times). Adano and Audience Chanting: Who is in my temple? Who is in my temple? All the door do open themselves. All the lights do light themselves. Darkness like a dark bird, flies away, O flies away. Darkness like a dark bird, flies away, O flies away. (Repeated 3 times). 1:10 Adano and Audience Chanting: Door of my heart open wide I keep for thee. Door of my heart open wide I keep for thee. Wilt thou come, wilt thou come, wilt thou come, just for once come to me. Wilt thou come, wilt thou come, wilt thou come, just for once come to me. Will my days fly away without seeing thee my Lord. Will my days fly away without seeing thee my Lord. Night and day, night and day, I look for thee night and day. Night and day, night and day, I look for thee night and day. (Repeated 3 times). Wilt thou come, wilt thou come, wilt thou come, just for once come to me. (Repeated 3 times). Night and day, night and day, I look for thee night and day. Night and day, night and day, I look for thee night and day. (Repeated 3 times). Door of my heart open wide I keep for thee. Door of my heart open wide I keep for thee. Wilt thou come, wilt thou come, wilt thou come, just for once come to me. Wilt thou come, wilt thou come, wilt thou come, just for once come to me. Will my days fly away without seeing thee my Lord. Will my days fly away without seeing thee my Lord. Night and day, night and day, I look for thee night and day. Night and day, night and day, I look for thee night and day. Night and day, night and day, I look for thee night and day. Adano: Let the melody remains in the mind and (inaudible), night and day, night and day, I look for thee. Wilt thou come, wilt thou come, wilt thou come, just for once come to me. Heavenly Father, beloved Jesus, and all the Masters and Saints and Sages of all religions bless this initiation and this meditation, bless this group, the Angelic Hosts all around us, open our spiritual eyes and may thou love shine on the sanctuary of our devotion (inaudible) awaken this love in our hearts. (Inaudible) at the right place for the right experience. Om. Shanti. Peace. Om. The mind has a tendency to wander and sometimes it wanders to ideas concerning the past. When it does that, it will generate frustration. When the mind wanders to something concerning the future, it will generate anxiety. Then the mind will wander to the present and there it will feel peace, tranquility. To prevent the mind from wandering you can repeat the holy name or “Heavenly Father revealed Thyself” or “Heavenly Father I love you.” Jesus said “Love the Lord thy God with all your mind and all your heart and Soul, strength,” so for those who don’t know how to meditate as yet, just mentally repeat “Father, I love you.” Repeat it without moving the tongue but don’t fall asleep. (Meditation). You know to love the Lord with all your heart is to take the left thumb and place it on the right wrist and feel the heartbeat. With all your strength is the next breath, the incoming breath in the form of oxygen is love and then it goes out in the form of carbon dioxide that is love. The plant kingdom uses the carbon dioxide and gives us back the oxygen and that is love. So the incoming breath is love and the outgoing breath is love and with all our Soul, that’s the total feeling from the toe to the top of your skull, feeling your entire oneness with the Father and the universe around you. You are the eternal I AM, the eternal self. You and the Father are one. 1:20 (Meditation). Slowly open the eyes, try to hold on to the peace. So to help everyone you will take some of the (inaudible) that we use and what they imply or mean and if there are any questions we will cover them and try to clear them up and then we’ll try to cover some basic principles in the spiritual life and how you create the environment and the evolution of the Soul via nutrition. Now one of the words that pop up from people who are uninformed as to what you are doing or what you’re supposed to be participating in, is when they ask you a real question “are you studying the baptist or the presbyterian of episcopalean or what are you doing?” You go into meditation, it sets up a friction in your home or among your friends. “What is this meditation about, is it some kind of eastern study?” (Inaudible) sometimes because it leaves you not wanting to hurt their feelings and sometimes they think you’re studying some kind of philosophy or some type of a new religion so they may say “Are you studying Yoga?” Well the word Yoga is only a Sanskrit word meaning “union” and you’ll find that in the Western school (inaudible) meaning “union, to yoke, or to unite,” it doesn’t mean anything else. 1:30 It’s a word used by the Orientals to mean “union,” now the question that comes up is union with what? So they say union with God, union with life, union with the Spirit but that doesn’t tell you anything actually because Yoga is not what you are studying, it’s just a name. There are some people who believe the Yogi is some individual, they don’t say if he’s a male or female yet, who is supposed to be standing on his head or sitting on a bed of nails or practicing some (inaudible) type of thinking. The Yogi only the masculine Sanskrit word for a male practitioner of some type of union with life and the female would be a Yogini, it’s just Sanskrit language. Masculine man, feminine woman and so we find words like yoga, yogi, and yogini popping up and then they may say, “Are you practicing yogi? Are you practicing yogini?” Well when you look at it and you listen, you can’t hurt their feelings so you say “no” but you realize that they’re uninformed as to language and its origin and what it entails. English is derived from Latin you see and Greek and the origin of all languages we know, especially the Indo-European origin, bases itself from the mother of languages called Sanskrit but Sanskrit is not written, what is written is an abridged form which we call Pali. Sanskrit are the actual sounds that nature makes, you couldn’t write that, you would have to intone that with your voice. For illustration, (Adano makes a clapping sound) that’s sanskrit, if you could intone with your voice, you’ll make my hand do that every time you can do it with your voice (Adano make clapping sounds) and I couldn’t stop (Adano makes a clapping sound). (Inaudible) I could never stop my hands from doing that no matter now I try (Adano make clapping sounds) because that is already built into the mechanics of nature. Now the only language comes close to that is similar in nature like Hebrew and they find there is also another language closely aligned to it, it’s called Athabaskan. This is used by the North American indian who is the only other individuals that we know of that can utter sounds similar in nature and cause things to occur in nature, outside of that we don’t of any other language capable of doing it. So the word Yoga is only translated as “union” and Yogi is a male practitioner and Yogini is a female practicioner. Now there are different types of union with life, there is only one union. Now we use the word Hatha, Hatha meaning Sun/Moon and then we find a branch of writings called Hatha Yoga. Now you can pick up any 65 cent book on the subject or a dollar or a five dollar book on Hatha yoga and “Yoga for the western world,” Yoga for this part of the people, yoga for slimming down, yoga for that, yoga for this, it doesn’t take much to go to the book stand and find them. We find we’re so mislead with the subject that we don’t even know (inaudible) and the Hindus themselves, don’t kid yourself that they know the answer to it too, that they will call everything yoga just to avoid confrontation. They themselves, not all of them, know what it is and they themselves do not even practice it because they think it has no value but we’re scholars or people who are truly interested to find out WHAT it is all about discover that the term yoga only means “union with life” in some form. Now if I’m unhealthy that means the life principle in my body is unhealthy, I am out of union with it and discord therefore I am unhealthy. Now if I will try to restore that balance, I might practice some form of physical culture and that branch of physical culture relates to breathing and exercise so Sun/Moon, Hatha, when we breathe (Adano breathes forcefully). Now if you are practicing Karate you do (Adano makes “Ha!” sounds), you have to make some relationships with some and you find you breathe very deep. Now you ever been to a Karate school? Audience: Just lessons. Adano: It’s all breathing, Hatha, and you’re trying to identify with sound or unite yourself with sound through movement but that is not Yoga, it’s just a form of putting yourself in union back with your life through exercise. Now the Hindus were very unique people in this way, one group will say “Well we practice Hatha yoga” and they will devise and they have devised 84 basic pastures and 1000 variations for each posture, you realize how many positions you can put this human body in? They can put themselves in these postures and I’ve seen some of them so it’s not surprising that people get the wrong impression of the term Yoga or Yogi because some of the contortions that you go into, the human body can put itself into and you get the term Yogi and Yogini. So to clear up the mental interpretation or misunderstanding, Yoga only means union with life, Yogi is a male practitioner and Yogini is a female practitioner. Now Hatha pertains to physical movements but some people can’t do exercises because they’re ill, how are they going to make a change from their illness into harmony because their illness does not exist in a physical frame, it exists inside of the brain now, they dream all kind of weird dreams and they have no mental peace. 1:40 So in the western world you say “go see a head shrinker” or “go see the medicine man” or go see the psychiatrist. In the Eastern world they say, “go see Maharaja Yogi” or go practice Raja Yoga, go learn mental discipline or mind control. Now here in the West we run around now and find out that we want to study Yoga, Raja Yoga, so one man will say “I’m a Raja Yogi,” a woman will say “I’m a Raja Yogini,” see what happens now? Raja just means royal or mental discipline by royal methods or unique methods, it doesn’t have anything to call it a religion for that matter. Now some people are very religious minded and they feel that if they pray, they can get healing, they can bring back this harmony in their life. Now we have lots of people in the Western world who pray and get healing, they can call up unity at any time in 24 hours and have them do a prayer for them or call the local minister, sometimes it get aggravating at two in the morning you know, and ask him to pray for you but in the East this will be called Mantra, Mantra Yoga, you see union with this life principle, true mantra or true prayers so they call it Mantra Yoga. So a person will say, “I’m practicing Mantra Yoga,” the male will say “I’m a Mantra Yogi” and the woman will say “I’m a Mantra Yogini.” Now someone in this part of the world reading a book on Mantra Yoga will be totally uninformed as to what is really going on but basically all that the term Mantra means is affirmation or prayer by repetition so it’s a form of utilizing sound or prayer to center the mind and bring back a unity. Now some people are very devotional you know, they have to be very sincere and go every morning to the church to attend prayer meeting, to attend a choir meeting. In this part of the country you say this person is very religious, in the Eastern country they say that person is practicing Bhakti Yoga and a female practitioner is Bhakti Yogini. So in other words they’ve got all the Saints in their home and all the various things and they’re very dedicated, they would not even step on an ant or anything, they’re living a life of Bhakti or devotion, They’re trying to unite with life through devotion. Do you see how all these things connect? Essentially what are we all doing? We’re only doing different expressions that fill the need of each of us in relation to unity of life. So the question comes up what are you doing at home if you say you’re practicing meditation, what kind of Yogi are you now? The sanskrit word for the meditation is Dhyana so a male practitioner would be a Dhyana Yogi and a female practioner would be a Dhyana Yogini so we’re all practicing our Dhyana tonight and if you are regular with it, it’s called discipline so they say you’re practicing Sadhana. So you’re a Sadhana Dhyana Yogi or you’re a Sadhana Dhyana Yogini you see how misleading this thing can be? Thank you, I need a glass of water. We are not practicing Yoga of any kind, we are all no matter what beliefs we come from or what Yogic ideas we have, we are all following the Science of the Soul because Man is Soul regardless of what color of cream he has, he is Soul essentially, he doesn’t have a Soul. “God breathed into Man the breath of life and Man became a living donkey.” (Laughter) “Man became a living body?” or “Man became a living mind?” The scripture says I know he became a living Soul so if you’re using the authority of the scriptural writers, I certainly don’t have a Soul, I don’t know for you. I don’t have a mind, I am not the body, I am Soul: literally, physically, spiritually, mentally, I am Soul and on this fact I base my existence. What do I want to know about my Soul? I want to know where it relates to its origin, therefore that will have to be very scientific, it can’t be helter skelter, take it for granted. My relationship to my source or my origin would be a very exact science, it is the Holy Science, it’s the only real science that actually exists, the science of my relationship to the source of my being. Now I am not practicing yoga, I’m not practicing no creed, I’m trying to unite myself now with the source of my existence through a scientific process, this is the Science of the Soul. Now the Science of the Soul has been called religion for a better term, it comes from two Latin words “Re” and “ligiare,” “ligiare” is to bind and “Re” is back or to bind back. You see we are bound back but to whom are we bound to and what binds us back? These are the only important things in the science, we are bound to God, the source, and that source must give us suffering all the time in order to love him. “I pray to you Lord for more suffering.” Do I pray to the source for suffering, is suffering something beautiful to aspire to? Joy, we pray for joy, your name (laughter) so be happy you’ve got a good name. We pray for God to remove all our afflictions, all our worries and complications, our lack only to have it filled with joy and bliss and harmony so God is the source of joy, God is the source of bliss. Now knowing this as my source of my being then I must try to follow a way of life that would keep me in a state of happiness or joy. So if I do that, then I must make my environment joyful, if I don’t make the environment joyful then the environment will have a great influence on me because environment is stronger in the early stages of one’s life or realization than one’s own will power. 1:50 Your environment is stronger than your will power, even when you’re born you don’t have any control over your environment, that environment is still stronger than your will power. Even though you choose to be in the home of an initiate when you’re born, still the environment is stronger than your will power you see, environment is strong (inaudible. Now when you begin to realize this and you want to make a change where you can alter the effects of the environment on your life then you have taken up your own life impulse, your own destiny with your own volition with the grace of God, the source now, with wisdom, understanding, and you can modify now the effects of your environment so let’s see what is the first thing we’re going to modify in our environment. What is the first thing our parents do to us when we’re born? Audience: (Laughter). Adano: The doctor spanks us when he cuts the umbilical cord to make us breathe so breathing is an important principle and the art of breathing becomes very important in our lives and if you want to be a swimmer or a singer or a musician blowing some reed instrument, don’t they tell you have to know how to breathe correctly? So if that has to be learned, equally true to stay healthy we have to learn how to breathe and maintain it but this goes on in us, breathing, but as soon as the child breathes after the doctor slaps it, they take it and put it next to the mother to do what? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: And do what else? Audience: Feed it. Adano: Feed it! Right, okay, what you just said, feed it huh? (Inaudible) in order for it to grow and be something in the world, nutrition comes right to the top. If with mother don’t have the necessary milk, the necessary preparation prior to the child’s birth, if she doesn’t feed herself properly will the child get the proper nutrition? This starts our very first environmental control, what we eat. Now, regardless if we are yellow man, red man, black man, white man, or Christian, Buddhist, Eskimo, Africans, or Hindu, Confucianists or Taoist or Shintoism, we all got to be fed at birth in some form. So this cuts across all boundry lines as a scientific approach to the scientific evolution of the Soul, nutrition. The nutrition may seem unimportant to many of us who have grown up (inaudible) in our lives but it’s not true, it’s very important because we will see why it’s important. Master Jesus said when He was being tempted on the mountain you know, what was the first temptation He had to encounter after He was initiated or baptized by John, can you remember the first actual temptation of the great Master? Audience: Food? Adano: Food huh? Ain’t that an interesting thing that He should be tempted with food? Think of it, why should a great Master be tempted with food as his first temptation? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: If it’s the first thing you have to have after you breathe to keep you alive and it’s the first temptation in a spiritual life, there must be self-connecting link between a man’s spiritual evolution and food. Now there’s a statement that goes, “He that conquereth…” this part of his anatomy, what part is that? “Will taketh the city.” He that conquereth his… Audience: Mouth. Adano: Mouth… will conquer the city. He that conquers this part of his anatomy will develop spiritual power because we eat with our mouths and we speak with our mouths and this is a very important part of our anatomy that has to be conquered before we can move on. Now this is scientific, this is not guessing or wishing or hoping, it’s very scientific that you conquer this part. Now Jesus when he was tempted, he was tempted in terms of food and his reply was very simple but tells you a very scientific thing, “Man does not live by bread above but by every word that proceed out the mouth of God.” If Man doesn’t live by food alone and by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God, how is he going to arrive at that state of evolution, to live by the word of God directly and not by food alone? We are repeating a principle. Now until that process is broken, you’re not going to start thinking positively. Now initiation is to help you think positive and work positive and at the same time to free you from that (inaudible). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Eat everything that groweth on the face of the Earth in all the different shapes possible. So we can even be cannibals before the flood you know, but after the flood if this is of value or not of value, if you take a pair of everything in an ark, a boat, and you suddenly find yourself at the top of a piece of land and the flood has ceased, the rains have stopped, and you are the head of this boat in charge of it, ask yourself if you were (inaudible) inside this boat what would you be eating? 2:00 Audience: What you took in there. Adano: All right but if you took a pair of each creature in that boat and you deprive one of it, you gotta eat and if you’re gonna eat lamb you have to eat both of them because that would get rid of the lamb in forth days and forty nights. If you’re gonna eat a fish, you’re got to get rid of a pair of one species. In forty days and forty night you’re gonna eat up many pairs of different things. So you don’t have any more now when you’re ready to establish a whole colony of life now when you come out of this boat. Audience: May I ask a question? Some of the animals he took more than one pair of in the boat. Adano: The only thing they could carry with them to eat would have to be dried products, there was not enough space for more than a pair you see. Now if you’re going to preserve just a pair of sheep, a pair of other creatures, what are you preserving them for, to eat them? All right let’s say he carried extra pairs to eat them, when the flood is over now and he’s ready to come out and all of a sudden he’s confronted with the great law of God who tells him now, “Eat everything on the Earth.” What could he eat there at the end of the flood, the dead carcasses lying on the ground? Because in the forth days he would eat up the extra surplus of meat that he carries with him. Now, but here the Lord God tell him, “Eat everything that moveth on the face of the Earth and I’ve given you seed and herb for everything but do not eat of the meat and the blood thereof.” He tell Noah that in very outright terms you know, don’t eat of the meat or the flesh and of the blood also. Interesting that he should tell him not to eat the flesh product and the blood. Why is he telling us not to eat it, is there some reason? Number one, if you observe your own physical anatomy there is not a single way that human anatomy can digest meat and every doctor knows that, it will decompose by intestinal heat in the intestinal tract but there is no way for it to digest. You will digest a fruit, you will digest other types of food but you can’t digest flesh otherwise if those chemicals would do that, you wouldn’t have an intestinal tract from the time you were born, it will keep on digesting your intestinal tract along with it and if it does that, then when you are born all that you will find that comes out of the mother is a skeleton, a mass of calcium, no flesh around it because the very chemicals will digest themselves all the flesh products around it. Audience: Do you get protein from meat. Adano: No you don’t get protein from meat, it is stored in the meat when the animal eats the protein from the plant but where does the plant get the protein from? The atmosphere. Audience: But the doctors tell us today, and they hit their hands on the table when they say it, you must eat meat to get protein and of course I realize this doesn’t exist now because I’ve (inaudible) but why they keep insisting to the ignorant public that they should be eat the meat.
1971 July 23 - Part 1 Teachings of Jesus
Adano71_07_23_1TeachingsOfJesusQ1RR - Audience: Our speaker tonight is the Reverend Adano Ley who is the minister of All Faith Fellowship in Tyler Texas. He is a native of British Guiana and he came to the United States when he was 15 years old. He has done research on prayer techniques of the North American and Canadian Indians and he was in Mexico for a year with the Mayan and Aztec Indians. He has Indian, Spanish, and Chinese heritage from his mother and also his Catholic religion in which he was reared however he took his faith from his Father, a Mongolian, and came into the Eastern teachings, he can reconcile both East and West because of his particular heritage. He is speaking to us this evening on the teachings of Jesus and Bible interpretation, Swami Nityananda Saraswati. Adano: Before I speak to you, normally you are accustomed to calling this a lecture but to a Swami this is a Satsangha, far more than a lecture and at the Satsanga you have to calibrate the minds of the individual listening with the mind of the speaker and to do that… (meditation). Now we are an attunement: extrasensory, mentally, and physically. The teachings of Jesus are sometimes very difficult to comprehend, especially when you’re reared in the church and the minister does not seem to understand what the real depth of the sayings of the Master Jesus meant. As a boy growing up and wanting to be a priest, I asked the unpardonable question, “How come you preach of Jesus and don’t seem to be able to bring that life into manifestation?” My mentor said to me, “Boy, you’d never be a priest, you’re too much of a mystic.” Then I realized there were two functions in the church, I could not blame them after, lack of knowledge was my mistake. Organizational religion is maintained by the priest and it’s called churchianity, mystic religion or Christianity is maintained by the monks who live the life inside. They attempt the day-by-day experiments with the actual principles of the Master whereby the priest is not involved with that, his role is to present what he said and now you do it but I don’t have to follow it. As a boy you can see my problem and I think you’ve had the same in your own research. So I left the church and went away in search of my own heritage, maybe there is a clue. I thought my parent, especially my Father was an atheist, he never went to church only once a year, the day he was born and the day he was married, they all fell on the 25th of December, interesting? So he had to be an atheist but why on the 25th of December? It’s the best celebration of Jesus birth you know. I found out that he was more involved in the mystical life but then I could not even reconcile myself to him because the mystic really never see it much outwardly, you sit in his presence and there’s actually no “you do this, you do that,” there’s no communication, just to sit in his presence. So this got kind of boring, I couldn’t appreciate my Father’s views you know, he’s sitting, but he had the uncanny ability when his teacher came on a Friday, my mother would prepare food and say “Now you boys go out and prepare the mat under the mango tree and Swamiji is coming.” Well Swamiji was a man with a big turban in his head, beard, and he stood about six feet tall, he was an Indian, he turned out to be my Father’s teacher years after I understood what he was doing but a boy I didn’t understand you see but he would come and he wouldn’t come in the house, they’d sit under the mango tree. My Father would go out there and they would sit like this, saying nothing to each other. He placed the food and they ate and he went away but my Father would seem to have this strange ability to know what I’ve done for the entire week, even the minutest secret things I did, and I always thought Swamiji was peeping on me. So one time I wanted to smoke and I experimented with smoking with a piece of rope so no one can see me smoking and I was in the woods and that very week when the Swamiji visited, Dad came in the house and given everybody a rundown of their life and puts his finger, “You stop smoking rope.” Well this kind of would scare a person after a while but I began to take it in stride and I wanted to know more of my dad. There was something about him that drew me to him, then I had to leave and come to the States. I began to become interested in comparing now the teachings of Jesus from the Oriental viewpoint and the first thing I encountered in Jesus teachings, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God which is within you.” This seem to be the one message emphasized. Well where would I seek it? It stays within you so you can just picture my predicament for a whole month trying to look inside of myself, coming up with no answers until I encountered a teacher of Yoga and in the Yogic writings it states, “Know thy self.” It seems to pinpoint it “Know thy self.” 0:10 But then I asked the question “how you go about knowing yourself.” So the teacher took me back to the Bible and says now here is a verse that Master Jesus spoke, “Take my yoke upon thy neck for it is light” and left me there. Well I think you have read that statement in your own scriptures and puzzled over what it means but the word yoga is sanskrit and when it is translated into english it means “to yoke” or unite or union so if I take the yoke of Master Jesus that means I have to perform some type of union. Now you yoke oxen together, you put them together in union so they will pull so there have to be some type of union going on inside of us, “take my yoke upon thy neck for it is light.” Now after many months the word light could only come up in my mind in terms of weight and I thought in all terms of weight, never arriving at the true meaning of the term light in the structure of the sentence then when I inquired again from my yogi friend he said “light in terms of the atomic principle.” Now this set my whole train of thinking in different direction, for the first time real light I’m dealing with, not weight. In yoga, which is the eastern approach yoking, the individual is supposed to harness the light within his mechanism, an actual thing now, but then I was brought back to the Christian scriptures which state by Jesus “When thine eyes are single, the whole body is full of light and the light is shining in the darkness and the darkness comprehend it not and let your light so shine before Men that they may see your good works and glorify the Father which is in thee.” Now it throws me right back to the principle of light, the war ended in ‘45 and I think everyone was in uproar over the atomic science but Einstein gave us the first clue of light. The light that Jesus is talking of to his disciples or to the world is this mechanism, it’s a congealed form of light. Now in the scripture it says the creator set his creation into motion by the first act of manifesting light, out of love light was born from the statement “let there be light” but the statement is a statement involving sound. Now if you see lightning in the sky and hear the thunder after the two clouds have touched each other, you assume that the light is first and the sound is last. In reality the sound was first and the light is last, only the range of movement differs in terms with the observer. Consciousness projects the light therefore Master Jesus is telling us of a different type of light and he’s telling you where to look for it, strange, “When thine eyes are single,” you know you have two eyes, how can they become single? (Adano drawing on board). The two eyes are acting, looking out, but if they’re going to center on something they will have to come in to a point like the two beams on an automobile lamp, headlights you have to beam it. Einstein says that this body is matter and matter is energy and energy is equal to its mass times the velocity of darkness square, what squared? Light squared, so the same light that Einstein is talking of is the same light the Master Jesus is talking of, this is a congealed form of light, the creative intelligence cannot alter it, He’s already crystallized it and set it into motion by his command, “Let there be light,” whatever we see as a creation is this congealed crystallized form of His command. “And the light is shining in the darkness,” yes it’s already shining within the brain and when you get a blow on the forehead you see what? Stars or light, “but you comprehend it not,” you don’t know the reason for its existence yet at that very moment you are face to face with your creator, you are face to face with your real self. It took me a long time to comprehend let alone to experience this light and make it work and understand what Jesus meant “Take my yoke upon thee for it is light,” bring this into harness, bring what into harness? Two things, I have to harness the focusing of my consciousness. If I was to draw a line across here, what do I have? A triangle, put it on its base you recognize a familiar figure in the desert of Africa, a pyramid, it is a firing point, a focal point for energy and in the human being the base pins out and the creator is the base pinning back through you, you have a direct lining up of two forces in yourself and if you draw it you’ll recognize a familiar function. (Adano drawing on board). Now you have to line these forces up inside and see the light. 0:20 Continuing my research I came across the mystic John who was a disciple of the Master Jesus and his first verse in his writings goes like this, “In the beginning was the Word,” I said before anything can manifest we must have sound and word is sound. Now “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word is God and the Word was made flesh and dwelt in Man.” Let’s see now if we are talking of something in the atomic realm. Before we can have a manifestation there is a command and a command involves sound and that sound is normally called the Word or logos in certain writings and for the benefit of those who are in doubt as to what the word would mean, it means audible life current or it can also mean the sound that the atoms make while they’re in motion. This sound exists as an actual principle, it’s the basis of all existence or creation. Now if this sound is with God then it is within consciousness, this is the realization we come to eventually as we meditate and go in. Now if it’s audible then it’s possible to hear it and let’s see now if it was audible. There was a prophet who said, “Lo I turned to the east and I heard the voice of God like a trumpet blowing.” This body is a manifestation of the divine principle or universe unto itself, this is north, this is south, the top is north, the top of the skull is north and the base of the spine is south. Frontal part of the forehead would be east and the back would be west and the third eye in many symbology of the eastern people have been called Star of the East or the Eye of the East or the Eastern Eye only symbolizing that at this point we turn in, the point between the eyebrows. “Lo I turn to the east” was the Sage, that means he had to commune with himself now and by focusing, bringing the lining up of the consciousness, he heard the voice of God like a trumpet blowing. So sound came through, the experience is genuine and anyone who has made the attempt to lock in can hear that trumpet blowing inside, it does exist, it’s not a hallucination or a figment of imagination. Now, so John says, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God,” the audible life current or vibratory rate of creation is existing in consciousness but he goes on to make a specific statement that will remove doubt from our minds once and for all and that statement is “and the Word IS God.” Now when you use the word “is” you’ve got to be pretty sure of what you’re talking about because you’re going to mislead millions of people in the future and if it is truly that, then the tests of verifying it becomes our responsibility. We can now go to that test, make that attempt, harness this consciousness, and find out once and for all if it is so. After many years of meditation, I can vouch that God is that audible life sound. “And the Word was made flesh,” that cosmic current became substance, cells, but there are many forms in which this substance appeared in. The last part of the verse is “and the Word was made flesh and dwelt in Man.” It seems that only in the Man form that this audible life current can be contained and be realized, this substance contains the sound current but this substance cannot realize the sound current, only this form can do it, the human form. We’ve come to a point now in our scriptural understanding of Master Jesus where we look upon ourselves and say, “This is going to be impossible for the churches have told us for years, He is the only Son of God” and let us go to the Man Himself and read in His sayings if He has ever uttered the fact that He is the only Son of God. The Hindus and Chinese they accept the idea of Son of God, but they don’t accept the idea of only being an individual, they accept the idea of “only” being a principle, a big difference between an individual and a principle. The personal God-head or the Creative Intelligence in form is the only relationship we have with the impersonal God-head: Krishna Consciousness, Christ Consciousness, or Creative Intelligence or Intuitive Intelligence in Man, but they do not accept the body form as the “only” because body forms are required to realize that Principle, the personal God-head. Jesus said, “While I’m in the world, I am the Light of the world.” Every Realized Man who reaches the personal God-head state is a radiant light because it’s moving through Him, he’s come to the realization that this light is flowing, he has done the works and “the light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehends it not, but let your light so shine before Men that they may see the good works and glorify your Father which is in you.” When you make the attempt to release this light inside this mechanism then you have done the work that is required. Now here we have an interesting point in the teaching of Jesus, he often spoke in parables and parables were not a common practice of the Hebrew people, it was a common practice of far eastern people though the Hebrew people are Orientals in the Middle East, it is more prevalent to speak in parables in the far eastern countries than in the middle eastern countries. 0:30 One of the parables that stands out pertaining to the personal Godhead and the impersonal Godhead is involved in this statement, “None come unto the Father but by Me.” Now Jesus never said he’s the only son of God therefore he made a statement by saying “the things I do you shall do also and greater things shall you do.” That eliminates being the only son of God as a person and “None come unto the Father but by Me.” These two statements can trick you up between a personal concept of God and the physical relationship of what God is but in the eastern writings we can penetrate the veil and understand it clearly. When Buddha was alive there was a monk, a buddhist monk, and in order to understand the statement of Jesus “None come unto the Father but by me,” that’s a parable in itself. We’d have to understand a statement made in one of the buddhistic writings the statement was like this. There was a monk meditating one day. A butcher was taking his cow to the slaughter house on his way the cow broke the rope, ran in front of the monk, and spoke to the monk telepathically or in cow’s language, “Save my life.” The monk, a non-violent man, said “hide behind these bushes.” Along came the butcher, seeing the monk he said, “Hey Mr. Monk, you see my cow?” Now the butcher knows that the monk can’t lie and the cow knows that the monk can’t betray him (laughter), what is the monk going to do now? He’s got to find a parable to get out of it because he’s caught in the middle like the cheese between two slices of bread. So he looked at the butcher and he said to him very calmly, “They that saw the cow can’t tell you where the cow is hidden. He who can tell you where the cow is hidden didn’t see it.” Now I’m stumped when I confronted the parable, years went by before I can really penetrate the veil to understand the principle. The first word is “they,” “they who?” Only the monk and the cow and the butcher, there ain’t nobody in the picture. Then it dawns that they “see” you know, they are plural, but they don’t talk, “they” saw the cow and can’t tell where the cow is hidden. “He” is singular, “he who can tell,” that’s the tongue, to tell is to talk. He who can tell you where the cow is hidden, didn’t see it. Realization dawns upon my consciousness and I realized what my father and all the great teachers were doing, bringing me back to myself to raise the intuitive nature to comprehend the problem. Master Jesus threw one such bombshell in our midst, “None come to the Father but by Me.” “None who?” It can literally mean the whole of humanity from the time he was created or before he was born or after he was born, it would be kind of erroneous he would be inferring that statement to be that. It actually means no one living in his five senses can raise the level of his consciousness to the Creative Intelligence unless it first centers it upon the personal God presence inside, it’s the only begotten principle, the only way in, it’s like the guardian at the gate. For example, we’re all familiar with an iceberg? An iceberg we see a portion above water and the greater portion is below the water, right? And let’s see I’m a little crab living on top of the iceberg and all the goodies are down at the bottom of the iceberg, how am I going to get down to the bottom without wetting my feet? There is no way I can get down to those goodies at the bottom of the iceberg unless I make the attempt to go down and as soon as I go down, I must pass through the water line and keep going in the process, in the exposure, right down to where it is. Now all around my whole body I’m going to be totally wet, not alone my feet now, I’m immersed. Before I’m up here enjoying the sun, drying myself on top of the iceberg. In the outer realm in our five senses we are like that crab, enjoying the sunlight of physical activity but never getting to the goodies within our inner mechanism, the Godhead inside. To make a return we’d have to pass through the water line, that is the measuring up now, this is why they call it the Christ principle or the personal Godhead, the me, the real self, no one living in his five senses can really get back to that God-self unless he passes through the Christ principle in himself so every Man becomes Christ-ed or Chris-ted or Krishna conscious. Now one portion of the scripture says “And as many as received him, to them gave He power to become sons of God.” So it means that every crab that will go through the water line will get to the goodie and they all got to get wet so any one of us who wants to return to pure cosmic consciousness must be exposed to the Christ principle sooner or later and if you accept the Christ principle as the only creative principle whereby we can return to the source, we will all become radiant sons of light, God conscious people. There is absolutely no way we can avoid it even a easterner or a westerner or in the eastern writings. For the first time we are forced to admit to ourselves that this is the way of truth, not the man Jesus solely but the principle in which we go back to the source. Now Master Jesus also threw another bombshell into our midst, “Come unto Me all ye that travail and are heavily laid and I’ll refresh you.” That’s pretty difficult when he has passed on, how can you go to him to be refreshed, is he really speaking of his physical body or is he speaking of a personal relationship on a different level? And we have to take the parable of the monk, the butcher, and the cow and try to understand the words, “Come unto Me.” Well where would you point within your mechanism if you want to use the word “me?” You point to yourself, you point your head because this is your thinking sphere. “All you that travail and are heavily laden,” who are they? Pair of eyes, they work, travail is to work. Heavily laden, get tired and fatigued, bored, confrontations going on day and night, somebody cut in front of you before you can get to the red light. “They,” pair of ears, they hear all the obscenity and the good things too and they get loaded down. Nostrils, polluted air as well as the good country air. Mouth, some food aren’t so palatable, others are good. These are the things of the mechanism that have to work to provide for the physical body and maintain it, your five senses, you can’t work when you’re sound asleep, just ain’t no way to do it to provide for the physical nourishment and they get tired. So “Come unto Me,” that means daily now we should withdraw our five senses to the real self, the real beingness, the one principle, the personal Godhead in yourself and freshen up, you don’t need a Seven-Up now, “freshen up, it’s Seven-Up,” you know? Daily meditation or the daily return to the higher self and the feeling is to refresh you, refresh means to revitalize, renew, clear up, and give you the added boost now that you can cope with responsibilities and face the environment again with that inner faith, inner strength. So the Master is teaching us how to turn back to our inner source of supply so the word Master is one who has Mastered the techniques and the behavioral principles in order to live. When we have done this, we can then say fully that the experience is genuine and that we are experiencing the Godhead in ourselves. Now we come to another strange parable, I can’t cover all because the time will be too short but they are so marvelous when you try to understand them. Ten virgins, five wise, five foolish, I always feel sorry for those foolish ones that got left out. You know you think of it, here they are making up for the bridegroom and all of a sudden the light goes out and everyone says, “Foo on you, I’m going in.” You can put yourself in their predicament because we do this to ourselves outwardly too and we thumb our nose at the person who has failed in some way but the ten virgins: five wise, five foolish are your five senses working outwardly now, that is wasting away the energy searching for the bridegroom which is the delight, the thing that will give you union or conscious realization, the marriage of the Soul with the spirit, marriage between the bride and the bridegroom and if you run outside there is no way to find it and you will be burning up your energy constantly till it’s all wasted away and then you don’t have any realization. The five wise ones, that means the functions of trimming it or disciplining it, self-discipline is very important towards God realization. There just is no way you can arrive at this inner realization with a lackadaisical, haphazard way of life, a do what you like or do what you please, it does not work because you’ll discover you are very inconsistent and very weak and you’re easily going to succumb to the distractions, your mind is going to wander all over the world but never getting down to the actual experience. When you discipline the senses, that means trim them now, prune them, and it’s very hard because we try everything and when they have all failed, we’re forced to follow instructions. You know those little cards they have stuck all over the place, “When everything else fails, follow instructions.” That is a way to tell us learn to discipline the senses, do the thing that must be done. That is the five wise virgins, that is using the five senses in a disciplined way to center it on the intuitive self or God-self which is the bridegroom, to sup means to feast. When you discipline the senses and study them, the first tangible experience that comes from that light within is peace, a peace that passes all understanding, one that cannot be gained by the undisciplined senses by running after every emotional desire or enticement. The inner peace can be experienced but how to transfer that inner peace into the waking life? Most mystics, especially orientals too, Christians, you see them sitting down… like a lump on the log for centuries or for years doing nothing. You say “Well is that all there is to the spiritual life?” They are incapable of making the transfer from within to the outside. Great teachers come forth into the world with that inner consciousness just to show that we can make the transfer. Now there are two types of teachers: the renunciate and the householder, this applies to Swamis too, the wives of Swamis are called Swaminis and a renunciate is one who has no wife. There is no strength in the renunciate life if you give up, sooner or later you’re going to have to face yourself that is something missing because one of the greatest rules of realization is “greater the obstacle, greater the man.” The householder is thrown into a bigger battle now, he has the nagging husband or the nagging wife and they both are going to go through that constant confrontation in order to experience that inner peace and before the journey is over, you have a wonderful relationship because no one is going to give in now until they make it together and this is real self-mastery, he’s called the householder. 0:50 This path, Master Jesus had many around him, we only know of the renunciate type the twelve that followed him, their lives seem to be exemplified and a great deal of it is centered about them but renunciates cannot provide for bread every day, a room to sleep every night, and let alone have a place to go and have a last feast. If you recall He had a white ass even to ride on, many things were provided and they had to come from the householder who were his disciples also, there were many householder disciples, people who had to involve themselves with daily activity and still follow the Christ within themselves, follow the light. One such man is Joseph of Arimathea, another man is Nicodemus, another one would be Lazarus. There were two Lazaruses, one that was sick and one he resurrected, the one he resurrected was a very wealthy man so we see that great Master who live on the Earth have two types of disciples that follow the path, the householder and the renunciate. We see this every day in society, some are trying to cut away from society to find a little place all by themselves, the rest are remaining in the mainstream working but when realization comes, wherever it comes and when it comes, you will find only those who can make the transfer from within to the outside are the ones who really are the strongest. When you bring your peace into daily activity now and can take it with you moment to moment with your trials, which is the karmic debt incurred by your wrong thinking, you’re only reaping what you’re sowing you see and and you’re harvesting it and nobody’s harvesting it for you. So this inner strength that comes from transference is vitally important for modern men to be able now not to leave the world, accept the world as it is but to make the transference from within to the outside. “The peace I give the world don’t give,” get the peace inside, transfer it outside, then those in the outer world will get it because it will overflow. You can’t give what you don’t have, if you’re frustrated inside sooner or later you’re going to give out waves of frustration. If you’re peaceful from within, it will overflow and the psalm says “surely goodness and righteousness shall follow me all the days of my life and my cup overflow,” means that the the individual made the attempt to go in, to acquire the inner peace, and to bring it into the manifested world and let it flow, it overflows, this is what we’re all searching for inside. There are many other goodies too such as extrasensory abilities and so forth but don’t be carried away by the extrasensory abilities, they can tend to detract you from your goal, the real goal is lining up back with your creator. That’s why Jesus slipped in one bombshell by saying “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his Soul,” this is a caution lest we get carried away from the real objective. Now we have an interesting statement when He said, “You see Me you see the Father” and in my training when I was being trained as a priest early, it would always say that Jesus is God right there standing. It could not really bring home the truth to my mind yet in the eastern writings they still say Krishna was God you know, His name was Gopal, it was God walking on this Earth, why don’t you accept it, why do you accept only Jesus was God? I realized there’s a difference in saying “you see Me you see the Father” and literally involving the physical frame. The individual has attained God realization by entering the personal Godhead, the Christ-self, the Krishna consciousness, or the Christ consciousness. Now from the example of the iceberg, what is an iceberg made of? Audience: Water. Adano: But what kind of water? Frozen water. Now the crab has to pass through from the dry top of the iceberg down to the wet part, what is he going to pass through? Water but they’re both made of the same thing, oxygen and hydrogen, so you see the water, you see the iceberg. I am made of the atomic principle light, I am crystallized, the Creator Himself is the cosmic light holding the whole thing together, frozen, I’m free and loose like the water. When I look at this form, I realize these two things equal to the same thing are themselves equal to one another for the first time. Then the comprehension of Emmanuel which was supposed to be His name before they gave it to him as Jesus, meaning God is in Man or God is with us. The realization is that this principle is within you, anytime you refer to it you have to use these two words: “I” and “Am,” “I and the Father one,” “I am that I am.” The Hindus have a Sanskrit word, it’s called “Soham.” “I am he, that am I.” So the Swamis say, “Have you arrived at the Soham stage my boy?” Now I cannot intellectualize to say yes, I have to actually experience a phasing in of the oneness and to be able to experience it all of us can as long as we know what we’re trying to achieve. We’re trying to become one with the light that the mechanism now would emit this. Jesus was completely phased in with the Godhead and openly said to His disciples and the people, “Who do men say that I am?” Put them to the confrontation and some said “thou art a prophet, teacher, whatever” then our good friend Peter in a loud voice says, “Thou art Christ” and Jesus buffed back by saying, “I didn’t tell you that, the Father which is within you has revealed it to you.” 1:00 The Christ within you, the Godhead within you, recognize the Godhead that is fully aligned but your Godhead is not aligned yet but I’m not going to tell you now that you’re going to deny me, I’m going to wait till later when you do deny me. So He tells him later he’s gonna deny Him because he is not lined up you see and instances show that he was not lined up with his Christ-self. One time he saw the Master who was fully lined up and with the burst of devotion and a love for the Godhead, he tries to walk across the water to meet Him. The devotion is strong and he does step across but not fully lined up, that good old mind of his looks down “and this is water friend and that still is a human being!” He may be God so he sinks down into the water, this is the confrontation of the principle. Any time the principle lines up itself within us, there is no limitation. It’s the faith now, like a grain of mustard seed, you have to bring in this alignment so in the scriptural teaching of the east we can understand the life of the Master Jesus better than most people understand him in other parts of the world. We see that there is no conflict now viewing it from that standpoint, thank you. (Applause). Audience: We will have a five minute break and then Adano will be happy to answer any questions. (Gap in tape). Adano: I guess here is where we lock horns now. You know h-a-n-g-e-r you call it hanger, put a hyphen between the h and a and you have horns which you hang yourself on when you’re angry. I know you may have lots of questions to ask, you want to go ahead. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: According to a friend of mine who has done a great deal of study he said to me one day after I tried to convince him so many years he says “You know Adano, I finally come to the conclusion we do survive our decent burials.” Audience: (Laughter). Adano: Our decent burials, life after that is a reality. What we call death is only a physiological cessation of the chemical structure, there are different degrees of death. Well let’s look at the life of Master Jesus in the various degrees which He spoke of. He was confronted with a daughter of Jairus, a householder disciple, and Jairus asked his Master to come and help his daughter. He came to the home and they’re mourning, child is dead. He makes a bold statement, “she’s only asleep.” Would a man go out of his way to raise the hope of an individual at such a critical moment and call it sleep? Unless He’s highly familiar with the workings of the mechanism, you just don’t play that type of jokes with people yet He brought her out of the state. Let’s look at another level of death. He stayed at the home of Lazarus, a householder disciple, and Lazarus was a rich man and Lazarus could not break the attachment to his possessions. So the only time he’s going to learn the lesson is when he’s dead right, in the grave there are no rich people so the pattern is to let him go to that particular confrontation. So He leaves the home of Lazarus and takes off and on his journey news comes to Him that Lazarus is ill but He pays not attention, He is the Master, Lazarus is the student, the relatives are all students of different degrees. Later on the news comes, Lazarus is dead but He makes another statement, “This is not a death unto the death.” What debt is He talking about now? He turns back, goes to the home of Lazarus, and if I were the sisters of Lazarus you know what would go on in my mind? “You are the most ungrateful individual we ever had in our home, we give you food and when we send you message to come and help our brothers, you didn’t pay any attention, you ignore us, why would we want to help you now?” But these thoughts are submerged in their consciousness so He’s going to carry on the facade by saying when they told Him, “Master if you were here, he would not be faring thus.” This is how they have to present themselves after they have the mental turmoil of criticizing, I don’t know of another human being who wouldn’t do it, if I was in the situation, I’d have to do it, this is only logical, the nature has to be satisfied in some way. He says “Where is the grave?” And they replied, “Master he’s gonna stink, he’s dead you know.” You can just picture the confrontation so they go and then He carries on the facade one step further, “Lazarus come forth!” They said He said it in a loud voice then He tells himself, “Father, I didn’t have to say it, only because of the people nearby.” Interesting that he should make an after statement to confrontation with. Realizing this, we see that the Master is working at different levels of bodily cessation. Now Lazarus was dead for three days and yet He is able to bring forth Lazarus from that deep state of cessation but it’s not “a death unto the death.” Now let’s look at another death, His own now, His own personal confrontation. In the Garden of Gethsemane He meditates and has the vision of the physical exit, it has to be crucifixion, nothing short of that. Now no one wants to see how he’s going to die, I don’t care if you’re the best mystic in the world are most realized men, the confrontation is very very shocking let alone not having a guarantee from the Creator that you may pass through that test and get some goodie on the other side that He’s going to give you some extra bonus for facing it, it’s pretty rough test but He says “Father remove this cup,” it’s too bitter a cup to face in physical frame but in the confrontation with consciousness, He realizes He must face, otherwise He’s not a Master. What is he here to master, is He not here to master every level of behavior, every particular form of confrontation? Yes, “Not My will but Thy will be done.” Therefore the Master Jesus did not walk out of the Garden of Gethsemane in agony in mind, He went cheerfully to His karmic confrontation and all those who were reaping on the pathway to Calvary, He admonished them by saying, “Do not weep for Me, weep for yourselves. Be of good cheer, I have overcome.” 1:10 This is the last test the physical frame must face, “be of good cheer,” this cessation must lead to something with a greater value. Facing the death on the cross “He gave up the ghost” then the glorious effect that came after was the triumphant knowledge of mastery of life over death, resurrection. Now eastern Masters tell you it is a reality and those who have read the Autobiography of a Yogi the Master of Yogananda came back and spoke to him in his resurrected body, this is in modern time now. So the Masters who have mastered death without running from it know that there is a higher law behind. Well let’s see our friend the caterpillar, he grovels in the earth, he is on his way to his destiny and the birds in the air see him groveling in the dirt, they pity him, they would like to have him fly like them so they all loan him a feather each but he can’t fly no matter how many feathers they give him, there’s no way for him to get off the ground. So he accepts his destiny as a caterpillar, spins a cocoon and out comes that marvelous creature called a butterfly and he flies and he’s more beautiful than any bird you have ever seen yet he does not rot when every other bird who dies will have to rot, “death onto the death,” there is the mystery that these Masters are talking of. We realize that there are different degrees of death and that there is no real death, only different stages. Now the resurrected body is called a “pillar in the house of the Lord,” this is the perfected body that Man ought to strive for, Man ought to be perfect, he has to work his way to that perfected body which there is no more death in it. Audience: Would you please comment on what Jesus meant when He said, “Let the dead bury the dead?” Adano: Yes, His disciple came and asked him to go home because he had a commitment with his relatives. A Master cannot let the disciple get too over involved with past ideas because those people are still living with dead ideas that are not changing them, they are living with the feeling that death and the tragedy of death, they do not see the need to change and look upon life. So the disciple is admonished not to go back, not to look back into that level. “Let the dead bury the dead,” the physical dead person is there, he didn’t make an attempt to realize himself, those around him are not making any attempt either they’re going to moan and go through all the ritualistic expressions of a dead body and build a beautiful stone shelter for it, they might as well continue to do the things they’re going to do because they will follow suit in pattern and repeat it, here is a new life, here’s a new understanding being told to the disciple. The disciple must make the decision if he wants to go back to the old ways of life or he wants to take up the new life, the new yoke, “Take your cross upon your back and follow me,” in other words do you really want to move forward in life or you just want to remain and tread water in darkness or death. You see Lot’s wife did the same thing, she was told not to look back and that became the death of her, turning back on our past experiences and trying to relive them as a means to bolster our mistakes is not making for new life, we have to make a break. That’s why He puts it on our shoulder and says “You can’t be for me or for mammon, if you’re not for Me you’re against me,” take this step. So you have to take the step, “am I for life,” am I for this personal confrontation with the divinity in myself or am I still going to hang on with my lackadaisical way of behavior, my old undisciplined life and that is leading to self-destruction. Anytime we pollute the senses, degenerate the senses, they only lead us to self-destruction and it leads us back to the death in which He has come to raise us out from. A Christ-realized man tries to raise the level of consciousness of each individual above the torches and torments that death seems to present in, even what ideas in society tends to imprison him, this teacher must try to lift them up, he must show them an abundant life flow, he must have the way to come out of the frustration of the death principle so He told them let them bury their own dead you know. Today we see that we have elaborate ways to bury the dead. Yes? Audience: You stated that Jesus faced his karma by willingly going to the cross, please explain. Adano: Ah ha! This is very interesting, “For every action there’s an equal reaction.” Now He came to lift up Man and set into action certain waves of thought activity on a group of people who were not willing to accept that wave of thinking. Now it’s not His karma from Jesus standpoint as personality, it’s the cosmic karma, the cosmic law that demands that He must set into action some type of condition to bring on a confrontation in order to resolve and absolve Him as a Master, He must set the stage for his own deliverance so we call it a karmic debt. You see He is not doing something that is bad, it’s not something that He’s set into motion that he’s going to reap as a bad action, the people could not accept Him. When He was brought before Pilate, Pilate wanted to release Him, between the choice of Jesus and Barabbas but the people did not want Him, they wanted Barabbas. Barabbas in their mind was a sort of a Castro, somebody who would liberate them from the Romans, Jesus having no such designs does not fit into the plan of their needs. Now one of the truths in the eastern writings goes like this, “The karma of the disciples determine the faith of the teacher,” the karma of the disciples determined the faith of the teacher. 1:20 What is the karma of the disciples? Hence come the term in Christian writings, “He died to save the sins of the world.” Their wrong thinking is going to determine how He has to exit from this physical realm. Now if he took off and never faced their wrong thinking, are they going to make any change? If they were all thinking right then the stage for His death in such a horrible manner would not come up, not possible. Because they are not thinking right they are setting the stage of a karmic condition that will force Him to exit that way so it’s not His karma personally in a physical sense, it’s their karma thrown upon Him to face. Audience: Maybe I think Jesus was Adam like it says (inaudible)? Adano: Yes He was Adam if you want to look at it that way and here He’s going to face himself as Master Jesus but I’m looking at it in a different relationship and I have to bring into focus now another Christ-man and his name is Krishna. Krishna lived in the world, lifted up his own people, and one day someone saw him because his body was blue, the light, his aura was so brilliant, he thought it was a strange animal and shot him and that’s how Krishna died. The karmic thought patterns of the disciples determines the destiny of the teacher. Audience: Is the second coming of Jesus part of His karma or will His return be a karmic return? Adano: It’s a cosmic karmic law, not His karma. There are only two types of Masters, an ascended Master and a manifested Master. An ascended Master is one who attains realization by a series of disciplines, a manifested Master is one whose life is predicted before He’s born, His life’s work is laid out and when He leaves and return anytime from then on, He is a manifested Master all the time by karmic law of the cosmos, not by His own desire. He is constantly send into the world to face the wrong thought patterns generated by the world which will determine HIs exit all the time. We will in time if he comes down into the frame as a manifested Master and may not accept him, whatever death pattern we determine in our minds will be more horrible than the one prior but He has to be able to face that. We may think we’re going to be less horrible in our decision to destroy, we’re not going to be. If we did not do it in the time of crucifixion here in our atomic awareness, are we going to be more humane? Our wrong thinking is going to determine His exit again in whatever body form He takes because our wrong thinking will outweigh our right thinking. When there is right thinking in the world, there is no need for law, there is no need for a manifested Master. When there is wrong thinking outweighing right thinking then the Master consciousness must manifest and face it and it’s the confrontation of facing that will equalize the forces. Every exit He makes in whatever form he takes would set the balance back, that unrighteousness would not surpass righteousness. So at that period His death set a balancing force in time that the Romans had to change, the inroads into Roman consciousness began changing by the people who were confronted with this aligning principle. Now we don’t know in this present stage who is the most right thinking or wrong thinking on the earth, we are going to consider ourselves the most right thinking because we think we are doing it yet we may be the most wrong thinking. When we are faced with the situation and then we can’t accept that being in the form He’s in and the disciplines He may impose upon us to make these changes, then our wrong thinking is going to suddenly set the stage for His exit, there’s just ain’t no way we can avoid it. Audience: In your statement of ascending Masters and manifesting Masters, you made the statement that the manifesting Masters have their let’s say they’re life pre-determined… Adano: Predicted. Audience: Predicted. Adano: Also it’s all laid out for them. Audience: Right but in other words if my view of ascending Masters are one that comes from the higher planes and manifest their own vehicle of expression here upon a physical plane… Adano: … he does employ that particular method, he’s not a Master. A Master is not afraid to face any confrontation regardless of how tragic it can be because that is what is required of Him in the first place to demonstrate his mastery. Audience: But is it not written in the records that (inaudible). Adano: A manifested Master’s life is predicted. Now they will know where He is when He’s born. He doesn’t declare it to the world He’s a Master, someone knows where He’s born, someone knows his destiny pattern that He’s got to take, a time will come when He has to shed the environmental ignorance and demonstrate His consciousness. It’s like the chicken breaking the shell but the chicken still has to grow up to be a foul, it carries within itself the pattern. So the Master is within that being and when He’s born, others know it before He’s born. Now was not the Master Jesus life predicted before He was born? And His agony, His mission? All seen ahead of time. Yes? Audience: His second return was also predicted. Adano: Yes and when he takes form, He will demonstrate it and He will also demonstrate His exit. You know we at this moment would want Him to come and not exit, we want to hold on to Him, isn’t that our selfish desire because we are afraid to face up ourselves? So if He comes and when He comes, the pattern of exit is also determined by our nature. We determine if we’re going to hold on to Him and if we hold on to Him we’re going to sit down and not do anything, when is He going to take exit to raise our consciousness? Now He’s going to throw this in our lap as a tremendous bombshell, “the disciple should be as his Master.” That means you got to come up to His level now, “And call no Man Master save the Lord which is within thee.” How are you going to arrive at that degree of development if He’s going to stick around with you? You’ll be riding on His shirt tails and we have ridden on his shirt tails for the past thousand years, are we coming up to Him as a Master of ourselves? Maybe He will throw this in our lap when He comes back and says, “What have you done when I told you the disciples should be as a Master, have you raised yourself, are you still trying to hold on on Me?” You see what I’m trying to point out, that we too got to raise our own self even if He’s coming and the form He’s taking and the exit for His form is already there. 1:30 The greatest tragedy would be ours, not raising ourselves up under the necessary command laid down by Him already, we are not regaining our Christ’s self. Audience: How are we going to be able to distinguish between the anti-Christ and the Christ? Adano: The Christ is the principle of the personal Godhead redeeming us from our confrontation in the anti-Christ which is the environment laid out to challenge us. Whatever human form would want to be in the environment to push us into our misery, you can call him a manifestation of anti-Christ and whatever form that would relieve us of that misery, we can call Him the Christ, anti-Christ is a principle just as much as Christ is a principle. They are here, forms are for confrontation, forms are for redemption, forms are for release, liberation, enlightenment, par example. Jesus had confrontation, Moses had confrontation, Krishna had confrontation, all through life we’re going to have our confrontation. The anti-Christ does not have to be one single individual in the history, it is a constant confrontation of a principle, we’re going to be facing it all the time. When are we going to measure up? He’s throwing it in our laps, He’s telling us, “The disciple should be as his Master,” when are we going to recognize the anti-Christ is around us as a principle and that we have to regain our Christ-hood. Now we need the form to relate to to give us the courage to raise ourselves up, just as much as we need the form to put our distress or our hate or tear it down. Whatever form we point out as the anti-Christ, “Oh you, I found you at last, now I can tear you down. All right here is my Christ, I’ll build it up.” This is not in blasphemy, this is in relationship to consciousness. Yes? Audience: Is this then the cosmic consciousness? Adano: Yes, “To him that overcometh,” what is he going to overcome, what is there to overcome? “To him that overcometh, I will not send forth a second time,” maybe it’s a hundred and billioneth second time that you’ve been coming forth, not necessarily the second time for this… We’ve been coming forth so many times but “I will make him a pillar.” You know a pillar is a fixture, it doesn’t change so something that supports, “In the house of my Lord.” When you accept the Christ and overcome the anti-Christ, which is the principle in which we find ourselves around us that tears us down, wrong thinking that destroys from the basis of our nature. Audience: But ultimately will all Men (inaudible). Adano: There’s no such thing as a mass God-realization, God-realization is individualistic, you follow me? So there is the reason why it’s “world without end.” Intellectually we will sense or think that all will go back which is in the making of the consciousness. So going back is not all together, it’s stretched out over a tremendous eons of time when going back. So Man will go back to his Creator but one time I asked myself the question, “after we all return to the Father, what is the Father going to do now?” This I got back, “start it all over again, try and see if you can reclaim your 100% free will by forfeiting 99% of it and use one percent to go through that hurdle of an anti-Christ and come back to Me safe and sound.” “You are the prodigal child and I am the Father, go try out again your nature. Go down there in that level which is called manifestation or creation. I am the unmanifest Father, you are my unmanifest being, there’s no more creation everything is resolved, we’re all total love. Let us see now if the love can be maintained. I’ll start a creation back, I’ll withhold 99% of your free will, allow you to have 1% and now you go through with love for Me, let My love guide you, let My will guide you, ‘Thy will be done Father.’ I’ll walk through this channel now and try and see if I can make the way back with the realization that You’re going to meet me halfway when I come back.” Didn’t the Father meet the prodigal son halfway when he was coming back? Only when this prodigal son decided within his mind to go back, we got to make the decision at some time to go back. So our realization is that when we return to the Father, we are sent out back with the total love again to demonstrate it because this is what the love is for, to demonstrate it. Now returning into the world by volition or by volunteering or by direct command is not returning into the world by an unfinished act which you avoided. We come back into the world because we have an unfinished karmic debt but to come down into this world and face our obligations in a volunteer way, how many of us volunteer to go and do something? A great many of us are drafted you see? Equally true the sons of God or the realized Masters are volunteers, they cannot see creation floundering in ignorance, they cannot see their brother Souls down in the mire and they sit back here and recline in the Father’s lap. It’s not so, “I am my brother’s keeper,” this is what you discover when you discover the peace inside. When you have found the peace inside, the inner light, and the sanctity of it, you are forced now to look out again and you’re forced to get off your metaphysical can and move forward and do something with it, just excuse the terminology. But you cannot sit back, even the Master Jesus could not sit back in eons of time, He has to come forward. I guess my time is up. (Applause). 1:40 Audience: The Reverend Adano is a minister of All Faith Fellowship in Tyler, Texas. He is a native of British Guiana and he came to America at the age of 15. He is of Indian, Spanish, and Chinese heritage from his mother, his Father was a Mongolian. He was brought up in the Catholic Church but he was drawn to the eastern philosophy and thought of his Father. He has done research on prayer techniques of Indians in North America and Canada and Mexico. He was initiated into the ancient Swami order of Saraswati in 1969, incidentally he had meditated eight hours a day for 21 years before he was initiated into this Swami Order so for those of us who think 15 minutes a day is a chore, you can see what we have facing us. His Swami name is Nityananda Saraswati, he’s going to be speaking again tonight at 8 o’clock, “Is Religion a Science” is his subject and again tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock speaking on prayer and meditation. His subject today is the Yogic disciplines and Saints and Masters, Adano Ley. (Applause). Adano: You’re accustomed to lectures but for us as Swamis who study the mystic path this is not a lecture, this is Satsanga, fellowship with the truth and the only way you can benefit from it, you have to align your consciousness. In the alignment both physical, mental, and extrasensory are brought into focus. You have often heard the eyes are the windows of the Soul but how many of us really know what it actually means and what can you do with it. Yogic discipline is involved all the time with the eyes, Master Jesus was very adamant about the eyes, “When the eyes are single, the whole body is full of light,” there’s more to it than just conversation. We’re going to go into some interesting facts about it, I wish you have piece of chalk, alright, thank you. Master Jesus, we use the word Master and in the lecture you hear the term Yogic disciplines, Saints, and Masters, what do they follow? It’s called the path of the Masters or the path of the Saints, they bring no new religion to the world, they bring a exemplary confirmation of life from within themselves and it’s called the path of the disciple relationship with the teacher, the Soul, God. And the emphasis is on discipline, that’s why the student is called a disciple and what should he discipline? Sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, touch. Last night we spoke of the parable of the wise virgins and foolish virgins and we know the foolish ones burnt up their light while the wise ones conserved it. The disciplining of the five senses from the outward pull is the key to mastery, to walk the path inward. The first discipline imposed upon Man was the discipline of the eyes, “When thine eyes are single, the body is full of light.” So if we center the eye focal point like two beams of a car to one point, we have a single light which we can see ahead of us. Most of our lives we spend looking outward, very little of our lives are spent looking inwards. The first basic discipline of looking inwards is focusing, how to focus the eyes. Often I think that oriental people from so long focusing develop squint eyes (laughter) but focusing is first, well let’s see why focusing is first as a discipline. The rays of the sun are scattered all out, it would not burn anything yet if you focus them through a magnifying glass, it will do work. In the east we say the head is the sun, the throat is the moon, and the lower body is the milky way, a miniature universe in a greater universe. If the head is the sun and all the rays are scattered through the sight, the hearing, the smelling, the taste so it really doesn’t control anything outside until it’s focused or beamed, Master Jesus realized this was the key to go into the light. Now “when thine eyes are single,” single indicates one pointedness, it indicates steadiness, it indicates focusing. We can sit for hours in meditation and discover our minds wandering all over the universe never getting down to focusing but when we get down to focusing, we have to relate. So the first basic discipline or technique of focusing the eyes is to pick a point and focus, center it, the outward object in front of you and look without blinking. This focusing tends to strengthen your concentrative force at the same time you become attuned to certain frequencies that you normally would not notice when the eyes are all scattered. For example when you’re driving around the highway and the road is hot and if you’re watching ahead it’s focusing you know, we have one of the best methods of learning focusing, to drive a car, because you have to keep ahead, do you see the heat waves, have you ever seen the heat waves on the highway? 1:50 At those moments you are focusing, you’re actually practicing focusing, the lining up. Now if you can see the heat waves under those conditions, let us extend it to another level of acceleration now: to sit in one corner and just focus. Automatically after a little while the whole room would come alive and those who survive their decent burials are ever present, nothing to be afraid of, they are there, they have to be there, they are in a different frequency and we walk through them totally oblivious to their existence. The elemental kingdom is there, those who can see them now it becomes a sort of a curiosity for them. It’s like a monkey brought into a zoo to be looked at, anyone breaking through that mental block becomes a sort of a curiosity on the other side, it’s not normal for us to see through this block or to be capable of focusing our consciousness in that direction and when we do it, we are on the observation table but we are breaking into light because they are in different levels of the light and the first discipline that they enforced on the student is learn to focus, keep your attention steady so discipline number one is focus of sight. Now there are various exercises to focus the sight: one is to put a dot in front and gaze, two training the eyes to focus, get back, focus. Picture yourself practicing an hour a day, yours truly had to go through it you know, hours upon hours of constant practice to focus. Now you see why I said orientals seem to be squint eyes (laughter), pull back to get the consciousness to work and bringing the finger right up within the closeness of the sight and gazing, these are different degrees of focusing. Now the eyes do act like a lens, it can be telescopic and it can be microscopic once you adjust the focusing. The techniques are simple, patience is required, an hour a day is all that is necessary but broken up into four periods that’s 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes in the middle of the day, 15 minutes in the evening, and 15 minutes before going to bed that gives you an hour practice. Now remember Jesus didn’t come on the scene and perform all His knowledge by wishing it up, between the age of 12 to 30 those were years of the bittersweet learning, the years of gradually molding consciousness to make it work. He was a Master and as the term implies He mastered these things where he could use them. So first comes mastery before comes sanctity that’s why we say Saints / Masters, you must master these forces before you can live that spiritual life properly or have the moral ethics in it, Mastery is vitally important. Discipline number two is the breath, nostrils, the nose, “God breathed into Man the breath of life and Man became a living donkey,” right? That’s what our brother Francis called his body, brother donkey, “Man became a living Soul,” breath of life. In the eastern country all the disciplines that revolve in Yogic practice or yoking or harnessing involve breathing, a form of breath is involved. Those who have read the Aquarian Gospel it mentions of a holy breath for this particular age, a particular way to breathe, to raise your consciousness. Well if you’re angry you do breathe a certain way, if you’re tired you breathe a certain way, if you’re at peace with yourself you breathe a certain way, if you’re in a hurry you breathe a certain way. Also you have certain body movements, these got to be recognized before you can correct them so breath is one of the disciplines, the technique of breathing is one of the disciplines involved. So discipline number two is art of breathing, there are many techniques, the simplest one you yourself is doing it unconsciously. In the Christian writings Jesus used the term “I and my Father are one,” He was applying a breathing technique in that statement. Breath is life, it comes in and goes out, it makes a sound in the nostrils, now listen to this sound in your nostrils as the air enters and goes out. What does it seems to sound like? Audience: Wind. Adano: A wind, can you associate it in a language structure? Audience: (Inaudible). 2:00 Adano: Well if you were to make words for it, how would you try to simulate it with the vocal chord? Audience: Sound. Adano: Yeah the actual sound, how would you try to describe it with the voice? You know the Indians on the reservations they are capable of simulating any sound by the human voice but you could hardly tell the difference when you hear it if it’s a dog barking or it’s a human being doing it, this is one of their prayer techniques. Audience: Would you exhale (inaudible). Adano: (Adano makes breathing sounds) Hmmm? Sounds like a train, (Adano makes breathing sounds) like a heartbeat. So we are coming to a particular sound that we can relate to. In Sanskrit they say that sound sounds like this word, Soham. Now in karate we have to breathe something like that (Adano makes karate breathing sound) so that the plexus is spread to give you now the aggressiveness you need and the control in the muscle structure and you make the shifts inside. Now in Sanskrit this word literally means “I am He,” I and the Father are one. Master Jesus, applying the discipline and the identity of the consciousness to the breath, knew fully well who He was, not intellectualizing now, there’s a big difference, this is synchronization between consciousness and the life beat in the breath, He was able to synchronize that every time He sent out the air, He was out there, every time He pulled the air in, He was in here. This takes years of discipline to be able to shift out, go out, and shift back and come back in. Saint Paul made a statement similar by saying “I rebuke you in your rejoicing for I live and die daily in the Lord.” “I have the ability to shift with the movement consciousness and life out, in, out, in, that the body has this apparent condition known as death, the apparent condition known as life. He was fully identified, this shifting goes on inside. Now unconsciously you are doing it, it is when you do it consciously not until that time can you really be practicing the very first commandment laid down by a Master like Jesus, “Love the Lord with all your mind,” not half of the mind, not three quarters of the mind or a quarter, all, that means you got to be fully conscious, you can’t fall asleep. Any disciples from sleeping in the east the first thing they’ll do is give him a good whack at the head, wake him up. Jesus was not that violent to his disciples but He sure gave them a tongue lashing. Audience: (Inaudible). What was He doing? Adano: He was in a state of suspended animation. Audience: In meditation. Adano: Yeah, when you can master this movement that I’m talking of, you can be in that state and cause the boat to (inaudible) and cause the winds to create it to scare the students so they’ll recognize the technique is important. He’s doing the technique, He’s setting the stage for their development, how are they going to gain the faith to overcome the fear of drowning, how are they going to gain the faith to overcome the fear of conditions that face them when they go out into the world? They may be on a boat crossing the river and they are among people who are alien to their culture and they want to carry truth to them, these people are living with fear problems and they may be lying there in that state and they say, “Oh gosh that guy is sleeping, why wake him up? You’re going all going to drown,” but if that person does not have that awareness to set the stage, how is he going to help them? A Master does not do anything for show, He does everything to lift the level of the disciples consciousness. The people in the boat were his disciples meaning that they were being trained in the art of disciplines, He is a Master of the situation so apparent sleep to them was setting the stage that the boat would rock, the winds would appear to be crashing in, the waves are coming. Their fear structure is under confrontation for the first time, their attachment to their physical survival is so strong that they can’t break… You know how many of us fear death in many forms though we don’t realize it, there are many ways we are in a state of fear and a realized Master trying to release His disciples from these states has to create conditions to break them, otherwise He’s not helping them. He’s here to lift the disciple up, the disciples should be as the Master that’s why He’s training his consciousness so He sets the stage and He was interlocking with the breath. So when they saw Him, He says “Be not afraid,” isn’t that the words used? So He is trying to bring them up above levels of fear in their own makeup, things that they would set the mental patterns that cause fear, He wants to bring them past that point so show them because breath is life, what is there to be afraid now? If they were practicing their technique that they were told or the discipline, they would not fear, in first place they would not even disturb the Master, they would have realized that the Master was doing this for their benefit because they would have gone out in the outward exhalation, come back in with the inward inhalation and would have seen the relationship in consciousness acting on consciousness, the Master’s consciousness acting on the disciples consciousness, they would have united in consciousness. That’s why it says in the eastern disciplines, “the student must always look into this consciousness, he must always line up himself with this Master’s consciousness.”
1971 July 23 - Part 2 Teachings of Jesus
Adano71_07_23_2TeachingsOfJesusQ1RR - (Continued from Part 1) Now Jesus just use another word, “the disciple should be like his Master,” he should line up, he has to raise his consciousness, follow? So discipline number two is the art of breath, now there are many techniques for breathing but the most effective one that we’re interested in is the one that occurs in you naturally to give you the identity. In this particular discipline or technique you do not force or compel yourself to breathe, you do not hold the air in and you do not hold the air out, you merely observe yourself breathing because you are consciousness, life flowing through a cellular mechanism and when you’re ready to go permanently you’ll have to travel out on that same current and any sense of desire or attachment when the frame falls over, you will see well “I lived in that shell and did not even know who I was and now I am outside of it, this is a shock.” It is when I can go in and out of this like taking clothes off and putting them on, then I am free so self observation is focusing now, you’re observing yourself performing a function. Well let’s try it, observe yourself breathing, don’t attempt to stop it, don’t attempt to pull it in, just observe the fact that you do breathe. (Meditation). Okay do you notice you have a tendency to feel sleepy? Sleepy, relaxed, subdued, now picture for one moment you are on the boat with Master Jesus, you would automatically assume He was sound asleep. When a person is sound asleep they cannot respond to you immediately the situations that are involved, they have to know what they’re doing and He opens His eyes and says “Be not afraid.” He knows what He’s doing, you notice you did not become unconscious when you did it, you were highly conscious and there are moments you seem not to be coming in and the moments you seem not to be going out. Now as soon you link up or synchronize with that movement, you do go out and you do come in, this is a different experience than astral projection, here you know for sure now what Master Jesus meant “No Man take My life from Me, I have the power to lay it down and put it back in” because He is conscious life identified. We are speaking of a different type of discipline, a different involvement with the spiritual force. Now let’s take this same technique and go one step further, sound is important. First it was sight, now it’s breathing, then we’re going to go into hearing. The art of hearing and that involves a sound, the actual sound that is being made in the movement. The word that we can relate to sounds like something like Soham, Soham, (Adano makes short breathing sounds). When you watch the breath now which you are disciplining the nostril, you want now to hear the sound and not just merely watch it, you want to hear the incoming sound and you want to hear the outgoing sound. It’s in the hearing that identification and synchronization begins, you have to hear it to bring this synchronization. Now you can repeat the word to strengthen your concentration or strengthen your focusing but you must repeat it without moving the tongue. Now this is going to be a little feat for the tongue you know, that’s the fourth little part that has to be disciplined. You don’t want to move the tongue, you want to watch and you want to hear but you don’t want to talk, now let’s try it. The word that you going to mentally repeat is Soham (meditation). Okay now we’re going to intensify this hearing and synchronize it. When the incoming breath comes in you mentally repeat Hong, this is pronounced Hum or Hong and hear it but don’t speak it with the tongue and as it goes out you mentally repeat without moving that tongue and hearing it “Sau,” you are synchronizing this sound with the movement. 0:10 (Meditation). Now slowly open the eyes and focus it forward in a half open state. Now let the air come in and let the sound be “Hong” as you hear it and you mentally affirm it and let the air go out and mentally affirm “Sau.” (Meditation). Okay the next discipline is touch. In the east they usually see them holding their hands like this to indicate touch, controlling of your life energy but we’re going to go to a more effective method indicating touch. I want you to place your left thumb on your right wrist and locate the pulse beat. Now that pulse beat is going to act like a built-in rosary, like a built-in metronome, the time cycle, the relationship between the word Soham and the breath. As you breathe in to one pulse beat, you breathe out the next pulse beat and you breathe in you mentally repeat the word “Hong,” you breathe out you repeat the word “Sau” mentally. Now you do this with focusing so you can close the eyes on focus or partially open the eyes and focus. (Meditation). Okay now the whole body is feeling. I give a little story that I encountered on the reservation, one day a chieftain was standing up in the mountain you know with snow and there was a minister from the Assembly of God Church all covered up with his parka, cold, and up there it’s pretty cold. so he’s standing next to the chief, all the chief had was a big blanket standing up looking out across the mountain. The minister said to him “Chief don’t you feel cold?” Because all he saw was just a sandal and this blanket, hair, face, and everything open so the chief says “Tell me friend do you cover your face in the winter time?” He says, “Oh no that’s my face” then the chief pulled aside the blanket, he was in his birthday suit, he says, “Me all face.” (Laughter). That was a prayer technique I learned. See I was looking for a prayer technique among some of the Indian tribes and when confronted with some unusual things, I realized they knew more of what this inner life was then we give them credit. Well the minister immediately realized that he wasn’t functioning in that level, he did learn after a while to get rid of his big parka and diminish a great deal of his clothing but not to the extent that he could wrap himself in the blanket. He had to learn more of that but he learned a great deal about himself. Since the whole body is all feeling or all face, we are going to be involved with the most difficult part of the discipline, the discipline of feeling. 0:20 Now when you meditate and you practice, do you notice at times your body gets stiff, like certain portions seem to shut off? Then you start to worry, there is sensations like if it’s getting numb. This is because feeling is slowly diminishing in each area or in many areas but the mind, craving sensation and programmed to the fact that if you don’t feel something is wrong, immediately sets up an alarm system and end of meditation. In the discipline of bodily sensation you have to reach the point of withdrawal, that you relax it and don’t feel anything, someone should go ahead tap you. That’s why if you practice with another brother or sister in the room, they can test if you have reached that state where you are withdrawn. It’s not too wise to be by yourself when you go into that state because you’re going to have doubts about yourself so group meditation becomes important, the group discipline becomes important. By having someone go around the room while they’re meditating and arriving at that level and checking you, this is a actual discipline to know that you are making progress in this withdrawal. How long you can stay inside, outside the range of feeling, determines the strength of the focusing of the consciousness that you can handle something now in a tangible way. These Masters who realize themselves have withdrawn to that point where they are fully identified that they can say “I am not the body” but they don’t intellectualize, they know positively they are in a state of Beingness and they walk and there is no such sensation that the normal Man. In the case of Mahatma Gandhi when they operated on him to take out his appendix, there was no medical drugs used to deaden the pain and he kept on a long conversation while they were busy cutting open and taking out the appendix, you see what I’m talking about? The withdrawal of the consciousness from the physical frame in a conscious way to the extent that you can go ahead, work, there’s no relationship to sensation. Now this tells you an interesting story or throws an interesting side light to the crucifixion on the cross. Last night everyone thought it was a horrible death, nailing someone to the cross, look at the agony and the pain He’s going to go through, who would want it? A realized Master knows His mechanism thoroughly and when they nailed Him, He wouldn’t feel it. Anand Swami, the Master who initiated me into Swami-hood, when I met him told me an interesting story about his life and he carries a scar to bear it. He said “I was practicing my basic disciplines on feeling. I was initiated at the age of 14 and when I was 65 ready to retire from this world, I decided to go visit my teacher. All these years he said I did not see anything inside, heard anything, it was all blank but now I’m 65 years ready to retire, I’m going to go and see my spiritual teacher and ask him why I’m not getting progress.” He went to see his teacher thinking he would see an elderly man with long beard and gray and haggard, he saw someone looking half the age of himself. He said to his teacher “I don’t see anything, I’m not making progress. I’ve been doing all the disciplines required and I’m not making progress.” So his teacher said to him, “Tell me how long can you really sit down and meditate without getting restless?” He says “two hours.” Now from 14 to 65 and end up with a statement of two hours, boy I said to myself when I heard that, I got a long way to go. At 65 he said he was able to sit down for two hours without interruption but I realized what he was talking inwardly. The teacher says “Show me.” So he sat down, put himself in the lotus position and this is a very difficult position for a man of 65 and it’ll entail a great deal of aches and pains if you’re not limber enough, he sat down and he’s meditating. At the end of one hour, his teacher took an old rusty nail, watched the calf of the leg and nailed him to the floor and waited. He opened his eyes at the end of two hours and he said, “You see teacher, I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything, and I’m not restless, just that time I started to get restless I came out.” So the teacher says, “Well take a good look at yourself” and he looked there was the nail pinned his leg down to the ground, he can’t move it, he has to yank it loose. Then the teacher says, “I’m not going to heal it, I’m going to leave the scar for you to remember how far you were in God” and he carries the scar puncture right through and he said to me “This is what a Master goes through.” Therefore when He said, “Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world” Master Jesus was not suffering in any sense of the word when He was on the cross, He had reached that level, the discipline of feeling. Now there’s one more discipline and there are many more but I have to go to one in order to save time which everyone seems to remember very much, the discipline of the abdomen, food. He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights and in all my studies in the eastern practices, fasting is often emphasized as a discipline for the body. When you practice fasting there is an unusual quality that comes out of the body. I’ll leave it right here for now and take a break and ask questions after. (Gap in tape). 0:30 The mind wanders and you don’t know how to control it and someone who has meditated long enough to see the movements of the mind, he with the power of his consciousness can bring it back. Tomorrow when we do meditation we will show you how the mind can bring your consciousness to the various centers and move them, this is what we call lining you up. You take a car to a mechanic who tunes it up, the carburation, so it will run properly, the person who has to lead the meditation has this capacity of lining up your centers that’s why Masters are always with their disciples to line them up. You can’t line yourself up, you do not know at what level your plexuses are working, you don’t know at what rate your own chakras are working or what you call the seven stars or golden candlesticks, symbolically speaking the vortices of energy inside, you don’t know how they’re working, it does need someone. Now this is where they come to the word Swami, Swa means self means Master, he who has mastered the electrical movements of the mechanism. Audience: You mean a Master would know what you were thinking (inaudible) psychically? Adano: No, you’re telegraphing it electrically to Him, you could telegraph the cross because you see thought is energy and energy is moving at the speed of light squared and He is lined up as a resonator, His pineal gland has certain crystals which has a piezoelectric effect and picks up your frequency and therefore when He puts on a calibration, He’s calibrating everyone. Audience: Reading our minds? Adano: (Laughter). All right, reading your mind. Audience: My pulse is too fast, I can’t breath that fast. Adano: Gradually your pulse will slow down, this is what the discipline is supposed to bring, a slowing down of that pulse beat as you observe it. You see when the body is sometimes toxic, it does do that but you should be able eventually to see it slowing down in your daily practice, it will slow down gradually and what is to be observed when you come out, if you’re tired or you’re more relaxed, were you tired or were you more relaxed? Audience: I was more relaxed. Adano: Good then you made progress. Yes. Audience: The meaning of the chant and the exact purpose of the chant. Adano: The meaning is “I am he.” Audience: I don’t mean Soham, I mean the universal “Om.” Adano: “Om” is just the vocal cord trying to identify with the cosmic vibration of how it sounds so you are relating to it language wise. Every time you say it in a vocal way to some extent you are taking the name of God in vain, you’re breaking the second commandment. Audience: I missed that. Adano: When you try to imitate that sound with the vocal chords to some extent you are breaking a second commandment because the vocal chord can never really repeat that sound properly, it’s only in consciousness. So we do try to sing it but that is not to be used as a means of generating any consciousness with it because it’s already there vibrating, it’s making a sound by itself, we’re trying to relate to it mentally. Now there’s a big difference of relating to this sound “Om” mentally than relating to this sound orally, try it. One represents when taking orally a violation of the second commandment, one when taken mentally is a fulfillment of the second verse of the Lord’s Prayer. What is the second verse of the Lord’s prayer? Audience: Hallowed be Thy name. Adano: Hallow, you can’t hallow something if you shout it because the energy is going away from you, to hallow it you have to conserve it and pull it back and synchronize with it. Audience: What is the purpose of some of these Christian devotees going along the stream with tambourine chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama? Adano: It generates great devotion but no realization. Do you want to say something? Audience: You didn’t mention the discipline of silence, is that not a very important discipline to learn to be quiet, learn to be still? Adano: Yes, all these disciplines end up as “Be thou still and know that I am God,” they are all funneled into this experience of silence but to say to someone “be silent,” you know what’s going to happen? You may have diarreah of the mouth. Audience: Could you explain the laws involved in Jesus resurrection? Adano: Well you’d have to back up before resurrection, remember He did not die on the cross, the term used “He gave up the ghost.” Now literally when you crucify a man, you nail him in order that he should suffer a long time and would beg you to end his agony and this can go on for days let alone from nine o’clock in the morning to about five o’clock in the afternoon in one day. Before if the evening came that they were going to take Him down from the cross it stated “He gave up the ghost.” Now people went and asked for the body, the Romans were doubtful that this man was dead from their experience of this particular type of death and then a soldier went to make verification, what did he do? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: But there was no sound out of the body so the Roman soldier was satisfied that He was dead, that’s how much we are unfamiliar with the laws of the mechanism. Granted that He is not making any sound, a pierce with a spear in that area is sufficient to agree that He’s dead, “okay have the body, take it down.” A Master is capable, as I said not astral projection, taking the life energy out with His consciousness and riding on that current and leaving the body in a state of suspended animation. Now that body would not decay, let alone He’s in another dimension now where He can start rebuilding the body if they put it in the earth, he’s in a different dimension now, He has control over this mechanism. Resurrection is like your butterfly coming out of the cocoon when it was once a caterpillar, it’s a distinct new creature. Have anyone ever seen a rotten butterfly? What would a resurrected body represent? A non-decaying body in the first place, it would have to and He would have to build up from the very atomic structure that is there. So He was aware of how to cycle the energies in the electrical mechanism that you call the astral body but the electrical mechanism has 19 elements, the physical mechanism has 16 plus trace elements and being aware of how these two forces work in combination, He cycled it with his ideational body which is comprised of 35 elements thereby removing all the carbon that would not allow it to cast any shadow but bring it to a condition where it will transmit light. Now there are two types of carbon, one inhibits light and one permits light to pass, which one inhibits light? Audience: Carbon. Adano: And which one permits light to pass? Audience: Diamond. 0:40 Adano: So the diamond body is often referred to in Indian writings, Yoga writings, Chinese writings as the ideal body of the Godman. “Be ye diamond bodied in spirit O Man.” Now we know that we are referring to this physical transformation inside. There is a book among the Chinese people and my Father used to have it and he spoke in Mongolian, he says “Everyone think I am not a Christian” because they were all Catholics you know, he says “but I don’t think they even appreciate their Jesus because they don’t seem to have a diamond body,” the diamond body is what we’re talking about. Now the one aspect is about the resurrected body, it casts no shadow once it’s cycled up, it leaves no footprint and has the odor of perfume all around it and that perfume is the odor of roses when it enters the room. One distinct feature when it eats, it does not eat with the mouth. If intravenous can feed a human being, the resurrected body can draw energy out of the physical substance with the hand by just touching it but the piece that it will leave in the room to satisfy the disciple will not decay and that’s the evidence that that disciple has met the resurrected Master, there is no decaying of that little evidence. When Master Yogananda was in the body He said to His disciples, “You meditate at Christmas, I love you very much but that’s not enough. I want you all to meditate till you confront the Master Jesus and give you evidence of His resurrected body then you can vouch that such a thing does exist. Until that time don’t say that you know anything about resurrection rather pursue your disciplines and try to get there.” So He used to tell them to meditate, first to see Christ inside this is where we come to contemplation, seeing the radiant form of the Master. Then we meditate until you can see Him outside that is manifestation but that’s not enough because that can also create hallucination. Then you meditate until it talks to you by the eyes and that is not enough. You meditate until you see the whole body not just half a body, three quarter of a body, the whole body and it must convince you that it can eat and you meditate to the point where you offer it something and it does partake and leave you the evidence you need then you know you have faced the reality of your destination, “Man ought to be perfect,” such evidence does exist. Audience: One of us (inaudible) long enough and hard enough to actually have this evidence? Adano: Yes, if someone meditate long enough, it’s not just mere meditating you must meditate with love, how many of us meditate with love, don’t we all do meditation in a mechanical way, are we meditating with love when we meditate? Think of it, you sit down to pray and commune but do you bring up love inside the communion? When the Master said we should do this, He was inferring that we have to bring love, it’s a peculiar force, that confrontation or that experience cannot be forthcoming if there is no total love because the very first commandment is to love the Lord thy God with all your mind, all your heart, strength, and Soul. I think our time is running out. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: How much time do I have? Audience: Five minutes. (Inaudible). Adano: If I have ever met Master Yogananda? In 1948 I was blessed by His body in my room while I was living in Canada and He was living in Los Angeles. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No He was alive, He wasn’t dead when I had the experience. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No I had other experiences but not of that caliber, there’s a big difference when a realized Master in the body grants you the experience of that communication. I did not know who He was when I had the experience but a day later I found out, I found his Autobiography of a Yogi and when I read it He was a living man so you can imagine I wanted to make communication. So when I wrote Him, the message he gave me when He came into my room was exactly the same message when He replied to my letter. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Master Jesus? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: While I was in Utah I’ve had that experience by the grace of the Master. Master Jesus is not six feet tall though, He’s five feet eleven. Audience: What’s He look like? Adano: He looks like a Greek texture, the texture of his face. Audience: Grey eyes? Adano: No He has hazel eyes, the texture of His skin is like a Greek, a young person and the hair is Auburn, more brownish color. Audience: Is it long? Adano: Yes it’s long and the beard is sparse. Audience: (Inaudible). The picture of the Last Supper shows His hair is red. Adano: Reddish. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No, when you say gray and it’s not really gray, it’s because He’s capable of fixing it that it filters light. You see that’s why it looks like that. Audience: Does it look like the pictures most people (inaudible). Adano: The only man who actually had an opportunity to paint Him while He posed for him was the Hoffman head. Hoffman the artist had two visitations by the Master Jesus where He posed to let him paint the head so the only head that looks in authenticity of what He is is the Hoffman head. Next to that would be the napkin of Veronica but in that state the body was in suspended animation because He was already putting His body into suspended animation, consciously walking, preparing Himself for the cross. See this is a difference in the expressions but it’s there, you can make your own test. Ok, let you go (Applause).
1971 July 24 - Is Religion A Science?
Adano71_07_24IsReligionAScienceQ1RR - Earlier you’re familiar with it, I says that this is not a lecture for Swamis, this is a Satsanga. A Satsanga is a Sanskrit word for fellowship with truth and in order to enter that communion we calibrate our consciousness so let us calibrate our consciousness. (Gap in tape). Thank you. I must apologize to those folks who have gone over to Marshall’s and I did not seem to appear there, I guess we got crossed up in our communications this afternoon but to make it up I’ll give you a double portion of my time after the lecture tonight. The subject Is Religion a Science, the word religion comes from two latin words “re” and “ligare.” “Re” is to go back, “ligare” to bind is to bind back or go back, hook back up. Question number one, who are we bound to? We are all bound to a creative intelligence, we can refer to it as God or cosmic consciousness. What binds us is the second question. Certain methods or techniques that have survived every attempt by Man to destroy them, these techniques bind us back to the creative intelligence. No teacher of truth makes any religion, he fulfills the techniques that binds Man back to God in his own life but he must also vouch for the experience of what God can be to him or to all Men, there must be a common experience at one point of the binding. Let’s say for one moment the common experience in God is suffering, would any human being want it? “I glorify in my suffering in my creator,” imagine the prayers and poetry that we pour forth in the future if suffering is the ideal feeling showered upon Man from his creator but such a feeling is alien to your nature, such a feeling is not something anyone wants to crave. Then there must be a counter feeling, a feeling that everyone craves and don’t seem to get enough and don’t know where to get it from that feeling is bliss. So God must be to the human being the highest feeling possible, the feeling of bliss, ecstasy. Jesus said “My God is a God of joy” you know or Spirit and must be worshiped in that same way, joy or spirit, bliss is the feeling not suffering. Now methods that survive that binds us back are the only things that constitute the scientific aspect of religion. Method number one that binds us back is prayer. From the time Man discovered suffering was not an ideal state, he mentally thought of some way to placate the unknown forces or the higher being with prayer, a mental form of communication. Imagine primitive Man, lightning, thunder, cataclysms, volcanic eruptions, huddling in a cave what would be the mental outpouring? They would want to send up prayer thoughts to stop it, to relieve them of the suffering, the fear, and the possible destruction and restore the balance, peace or joy in their environment so they can continue the pursuit of happiness. Isn’t that one of the lines in the constitution of our country, to pursue happiness which is bliss? Prayer turns out to be two types: ritual, affirmation, is that how you spell affirmation, two m’s or one m? Audience: One “m.” Adano: Good, the ritual prayer is devised primarily to satisfy the senses and dramatize to ease the pressure and the agony so (Adano chants American Indian sounds). That mere ritual action releases the agony and the pressure, “I’m going to squeeze this lightning into the ground and get happy now, no more do I fear the flashes of lighting and the roar of thunder.” So everyone joins in the ritual movement to bolster the morale, eastern philosophy says the dance of joy is the greatest stimulant for raising your consciousness from a low depressive mood to a very high one and we find now on the frontier country a constant dance and you find in your primitive tribes all over the world, in Man too in society. The ritual it’s important don’t knock it, it plays a important part in our conscious makeup but that ritual prayer can develop into a gimme gimme attitude and we start to use it like a sort of a rabbit foot. 0:10 “Gimme this Lord, gimme this, gimme this” and then a realized Master may come among us and rebuke us and say “Do not pray like the Gentiles” and here we are stymied with the statement, meaning don’t go about overdoing the ritual involving with the gimme gimme attitude but get down to the real principle of communing with your higher self, affirmation comes in now. Affirmation is a declaration and when the Jews asked Jesus after many months or years of His ministry they said to Him, “Teach us how to pray” as if to say “What have you been teaching us all this time, what is all your works?” But He went on to teach them the fundamental techniques of communion in consciousness, “When thou prayest,” this is the technique, “retreat into your innermost chamber” or closet. As a boy when I was studying to be a priest I thought that meant to go in the bathroom (laughter), innermost chamber, but innermost chamber happens to be the point between the eyebrows, inner consciousness, “and when you ask,” this comes to be a very positive attitude now, “believe you are receiving now,” that is to accept the fact it is coming into manifestation. This is difficult for one who has been exposed to all type of ritual activity to suddenly shift his consciousness and would try to bring about realization of his desires instantaneously but having lived among so many different prayer groups, prayer activity with various people and seeing the technique applied over and over, we realized that instantaneous realization is possible. One of the failures in the affirmative prayer is the inability of the person to release the thought from his mind after he has asked, you keep repeating it mentally. To give you a little story, two monks were walking along the road they came to a little brook and there was a woman standing there, she couldn’t cross over because she had on long dress. One monk came up, picked her up, took her across the brook, put her down, kept on walking and the second monk looked at him and said, “How could you, a monk who took the vow of all things to embrace a woman” and he kept on this harassment for a whole hour. The other monk turned to him and said, “You know brother, all I did was to lift the woman, take her across but you seem to be carrying her.” (Laughter). Yes, he is still carrying the woman in his mind, he hasn’t let go, the other one has long performed the act and gone. Equally true this is the problem in the affirmative prayer, one of the handicaps in releasing, once you affirm you must learn to let go. Now we do the let-going very naturally every day when you mail a letter, you think nothing of it. You write me a letter if you don’t mail it, I can’t receive it. The day you mail it you don’t question if the US postal authorities are going to deliver that letter to me, you take it and push it in the box and you get in the car and you go, automatically out of your consciousness. Equally true that same reflex action, let’s say mental attitude, must be there in the prayer relationship. On the reservations where I’ve seen where they bring in a man sick or a woman sick or a child in the evening and by the time dawn comes the person is up and moving. Prayer has come into effectiveness because those who were involved are praying for the one result but they have come to a point in the sessions whenever they are told now, “let go of the prayer, forget it, you don’t even know anybody is in this room.” Every man has to learn now to clear his consciousness, this is quite a feat but after they are capable of doing it, it comes as a manifestation, they learn to let go of the thought. So we see it is a definite method we have to understand and that is one of the rules that binds us back. Master Jesus taught that rule because He had to apply it himself but in prayer ritual can lead us to boredom, fanatism, and eventually when no results are forthcoming even when we affirm and can’t let go, we start the second chain or the second link in the chain that binds us to God which is bliss. That second link that binds us back to God is the revolutionary nature which you call reasoning it out, analyzing it, reason and analysis and experimentation. You no longer use the ritual to fight the lightning or the thunder, the mind revolts because it has come to the point to change, it’s going to reason the real cause of its existence, it’s going to analyze it, and eventually it’s going to simulate it or experiment to validate it. So now we don’t have to fear lightning, we can now learn to recognize it and use it, this starts the consciousness evolving back to the source so don’t feel offended if I say that the scientist has laid the next link for Man to return to his creator by setting up reason, analysis, experimentation. He has moved us one link closer to our goal but even this second link can run into a dead end because everything keeps going from the outside via the senses, we have to build larger telescopes, larger microscopes, and larger and larger equipment to study what is here. Then comes on the scene another type of revolution where people are fed up with over experimenting, over analyzing, they want to get down to the fact of being. We come to the next link that binds us back to God it’s called meditation. 0:20 Now in the first verse of the book of Psalms it says “blessed is the man who lives according to the right law and meditate day and night will be very prosperous.” This is true if you read it, I don’t want to go into all the words but that’s the gist of it so the Maharishi and his meditation propaganda is not new, the early writings show in your scriptures that are 23 to 24 times the word meditate or meditation is mentioned in it, see how the word is there and we don’t even know it’s there. Meditation is the third link going back to that inner bliss but this can be very tricky, meditation. Most of us know meditation as a means of withdrawal, we go to the Master Jesus and see if he taught meditation, what were His techniques and we find that He did teach meditation by giving the very first technique involving meditation, “When the eyes are single, the whole body is full of light.” This technique is not new, it’s not Christian, it’s not yoga, it’s the essential principle of turning in the mental consciousness and the energy involved inside to recognize the light. In one of the Mongolian writings this word was once an acronym, meditation, and an acronym is a combination of many words using the first letter but it’s so turned out and if you want to say by a stroke of luck it came out perfectly in English to demonstrate the acronym. You know oriental people don’t write this way, they always write this way, top to bottom, I don’t think I could have planned it if I tried M-E-D-I-T-A-T-I-O-N. “M” stands for mind, consciousness, one of the basic functions in creation. “E” stands for energy, that is why they say God is conscious spirit, energy, spinning all the time, force, mind or cosmic consciousness moving all the time but this conscious energy or mind energy or manas energy or manas shakti it’s another way for it, is in a state of motion and it’s constantly distributed so they say it goes through what is known as Siva or Shiva, constantly expressing itself in different rhythms. So mental energy or mind energy directs or distributes, it distributes something but you notice the next letter is “I” and they always call that the ego, little self. This conscious energy that is constantly distributing seems to focus upon the little “I,” the little me who is caught up in the whole world of the activity. So this “I” is individual, the mind energy directs individual but what is important in an individual? The scriptures say “As a Man think that is what he is” so the only important thing in Man is thinking and thinking involve thoughts. The mind energy, the mana shakti, directs the individual thought and we read and hear everyone say thought is a form of energy. Yes it’s a form of energy, Yogananda even went to give it an atomic name, he called it thought-trons, we have life-trons which come from life and thought-trons in which the thought patterns are set up. The Hindus and the Chinese have all identified it with a name so it seems that it is an energy and it does something but it’s swirling, passing through our individual thought actions. The mind energy or mana shakti directs the individual thought actions but in directing it, it must have a motive, a goal. Here we see this statement there is a plan to this universe, have you ever read that statement or heard of it? There is no blind universe, there is always seem to be a plan, some distinct pattern even in the smallest snowflake there is a geometrical plan. So there is a plan and it’s moving towards something, it’s moving to its highest “I,” the next “I,” the great “I” or the real self that real self or Christ “I” is called intuitive self. The intuitive self knows directly, independent of the five senses all the time, it does not need the five senses to make communication or work throught, it’s constantly in communion with the Divine Nature. So it is functioning independent of the five senses, that’s why they say women with their intuition seem to know who is on the telephone before they pick it up when it rings and you can use the same term, they’re extra sensory, but in meditation we are referring to that higher self as the intuitive self. Now in Eastern writings we find a statement there is meditation two types, one type is called meditation with seed and I think many people have read this and meditation without seed. Well a seed is an object and no seed will be no object. The “O” in the word meditation could well fit into object being observation. You have to be observing something, objects require observation but it’s twofold, meditation is not a single purpose thing, it’s a twofold purpose, it has a twofold action and those who have read the Autobiography of a Yogi it states meditation will satisfy the twofold functions of your curiosity of your nature, the twofold that is the observative function and the oneness function. 0:30 Now observation is with seed and oneness is without seed, you are bringing these two things into alignment inside of yourself but what are you observing and what are you becoming one with? The last letter is the reality, noumenon not phenomenon so N-O-U-M-E-N-O-N, the noumenon, on the phenomenon, not the relative existence of our environment but the actual inner reality that exists here. Meditation affords us now a way in which we can align our five senses and become intuitive, perceive objectively, and we identify with this reality here God, light, the feeling being bliss. Once you perceive it, identify, you feel the bliss but this is only the third link in binding oneself back to the Creative Intelligence so we have three links so far: prayer, analysis, meditation. The fourth link that binds us back to the Creator, bliss, is called life control because when we do return back to the Creator we must have the mastery of life control. All Masters, Saints, realized men have this understanding, they are in full control of the life principle in themselves. Now we have instances of life control often mentioned in your scriptures and in every scripture of the world. “No Man take My life from me, I have the power to lay it down, pick it up,” that’s a complete declaration of a conscious control of the life power. “I have come that you may have life more abundantly,” that is a declaration of how to turn on the life force more into the mechanism. Life control is also known by another name, it’s called regeneration, conscious regeneration of the body. When this body has thrown off corruption and taken on non-corruption that means when it’s capable of recycling or regenerating itself, we have a body that does not break down, that again is life control. Jesus said to his disciple Peter, “You have been with Me in the regenerative life and know Me not,” indicating to Peter that he did not understand the principles of life control. If the Master who has mastered the principle and returned back to the Creative Intelligence does not have the life control, He cannot say to a man whose daughter is dead that she is asleep as in the case of Jairus, this would be a tremendous injustice and not the type of game one plays with people’s emotions but He was in full command of life therefore He said “she was asleep.” The normal minds of people around they say this man is off-beam you know, she’s dead but Jairus has the faith and the conviction that He is a Master in His consciousness and the child is restored, the life force comes down. Now life control is always the constant demonstration of more life over a lack of life so in the dead child where it’s lifeless there is a flow of life for the first time back into it. In the case of Lazarus now that is again a demonstration of life control, He waits until the body is in the grave for three days then decides to call it out from the grave and even admonishes Himself by saying “I did not have to say it in a loud voice, only because of the people around Me” and He said “Lazarus come forth” then tells Himself He doesn’t have to do that, indicating He has control of the life flow. Another way to tell His people and His students of His knowledge of life control, “I will destroy the temple and build it back in three days” and you know from the ritual mind of the individual seeing the huge big cathedral there, they can’t see how this man is going to tear down mortar, stone, lumber, and put it back in three days when their ancestors took so long to put it together let alone cut the pieces together but a Master is not talking of stone, mortar, and lumber He’s referring to the only temple that is genuine, this body temple where life is inside, goes through the cycling of three days or seventy two hours and then pull it back up so He does demonstrate that. See He knew that he would have to face that particular confrontation so one should not think His death on the cross is a horrible thing, understanding what He’s doing, what control He possess, one begins to see the fantastic possibilities of Man’s future evolution. When you look at this mechanism and realize we haven’t begun to scratch the tremendous potentials and we’re caught up in all types of behavioral attitudes that tend to tear it down yet He demonstrates that, on the third day He rebuilds His body. 0:40 Life control is not breath control, big difference, though breath is involved at some point. Life control is synchronization between the breath and the vital energy flowing in the mechanism, it is this synchronization that Saul who became Paul was fully conscious of and we went through our yogic disciplines this morning of showing how breath control is involved with life control, if we practice it, we can attain the control over the body. Saul said or Paul said now, “I rebuke you in your rejoicing for I live and die daily in the Lord. I know how to shut it down, turn it on, shut it down, turn it on, shut it down, anytime I want.” For those who don’t know Gautama Buddha had only one technique, the one technique was that breath control, life control principle we spoke about this morning around three o’clock in the afternoon concerning watching the breath and identifying with it. That was a technique He used it’s called the Buddha technique among Buddhistic writings, you’ll find that same technique all through the orient, that same technique you’ll find in the writings of the secret of the golden flower, have anyone read the book? That is the identical technique you’re encountering creating the diamond body. Master Jesus, Elijah, Kabir all these men knew the technique of life control, there are variations to it but still involves moving the energy in the mechanism and locking the consciousness onto it by observation, that is the fourth link that binds us back to God. In the fourth link that binds us back to God there are two wonderful results: one, the non-decaying perfect body, Man ought to be perfect. Two, the freedom or ascension throughout the entire universe at will. Every Master is here in this sphere of existence as well as He is in the next sphere or dimension, he’s in the chemical sphere, He’s in the electrical sphere, and He’s in the ideation sphere all at the same time, there is no ring of impedance around Him, He moves freely in and out all the time. This is what Master Jesus meant “Free men all, lord of themselves.” “The rings pass not,” that’s a statement made in most metaphysical writings, the rings do not lock the liberated man. The liberated man is free from the three rings, the ring of the chemical environment, the ring of the electrical environment, and the ring of the ideational environment, He alone passes in and out because He has complete life control. Because He has complete life control, He can now ascend into the heavens, the various heavens. Remember Paul said he was in a certain heaven, are you familiar with that statement? When one day he was in the day of the Lord in a certain heaven, he perceive a certain experience, this is true. Those heavens are: one, matter acting on matter. Two, energy acting on matter. Three, consciousness acting on matter. Four, energy acting on energy. Five, consciousness acting on energy. Six, consciousness acting on consciousness, there at that heaven time does not exist no more, at that level that individual is God realized in the Christ state. He has full control of the Christ state, the intelligence that governs the vibratory creation. Now He must go out, He must pass through that condition called cessation of physical form to demonstrate his mastery, He must enter the next condition which we call resurrection leading to ascension. The next level is beingness, or the next heaven, beingness acting on consciousness. Finally ascending into the Father, beingness acting on beingness. “I am the first fruit of the vine.” Well it is true He is the first fruit of the vine in the Jewish genes to demonstrate it openly among men but not in all genes because Christ-realized men appeared in different genetic environment. We have them in India, the Dravidian genes, we had them in other genes but He was the first to be in the Hebrew genes. He demonstrated beyond all doubt now full life control in that form, “He came unto His own,” His own genetic forms, they could not accept it but to those who would accept it, they might be Hebrew, Roman, Chinese, Dutch, English, wherever they would accept this life control, “To them gave ye the power to become sons of God.” The individuals today coming forward with the understanding that life control brings the liberation, this is the life eternal that all men look for, the principle of life control, the transforming of the cellular structure. Anyone who has had any deep spiritual experience will realize that Master Jesus gave us confirmation in His own life of the four links in the chain that bind us back to God from this we see that religion is definitely a science. Thank you. (Applause). 0:50 Audience: I’m kind of interested, I understand Edgar Casey said there are 10 senses. If you agree could you uh suggest what the other five are? Adano: The question is Mr. Casey states that there are ten senses, I agree there are ten senses. Look at your body and you’ll see nine openings and then there’s a tenth opening to which you go to right between your eyebrow, you call it the third eye. Now count the nine openings of your body: pair of eyes, pair of ears, pair of nostrils, the mouth, the anus, and the frontal part of the sexual organs or genitals, these are nine and the point between the eyebrow make the tenth. I’m in agreement with Mr. Casey these are all openings or senses and you have to use them therefore in the east we say the temple of God is a ten gate temple that’s why they call it 10 gate temple or 10 senses. Yes? Audience: You mentioned the (inaudible). Adano: No the heavens do not correspond to the chakras, the chakras are the ganglia principles locked up in the endocrine system, has nothing to do with the heavens. When you meditate and go in you cross these levels, they are different levels of awarenesses where different beings exist who have traversed that inner consciousness. Now until one reaches where Consciousness is acting on Consciousness, he is not Christ realized because in consciousness acting on consciousness there is no time, below that where Consciousness is acting on Energy there is time all the way down to where Matter is acting on Matter we have time. Now time is the factor that holds us back from being God realized because God is timeless already and if He be in his Son which is the Creative Intelligence in creation, his Son cannot be in a time state, the Christ state would have to be a timeless state too so it’s the first expression of timelessness. Audience: Can you use another word… (inaudible). Adano: Consciousness acting on Energy. In Sanskrit there are words but it would not mean anything to you, you’d have to still have it in terms of English because energy exists and consciousness exists and one is superimposing its influence on the other so when we use the term consciousness is acting on energy you can direct your consciousness to this energy flow in that bulb and turn it off. Now there was a young girl and her father on train, the train does not stop at a certain point in India. The young girl said to her Father, “I want to go and see the great teacher,” that was her Father’s teacher. The Father said, “We are not stopping there.” So she decided she’s going to concentrate on the teacher, this is Consciousness acting on Consciousness now, she wants the teacher to help her. The train is approaching the particular spot of the village where the teacher lives and all of a sudden just as it gets to a certain spot, the train stands still, the wheels are spinning, and the motors are out, the electrical power gone out. It doesn’t move so they had to wire ahead and they would not get parts until a day or two. The girl was happy, her dad was going to take her now to see the teacher. They walked to the village, it was about a mile or so and when they arrived in the compound the teacher was sitting down meditating with his students. As soon as he opened his eyes he said to her “Why do you like to bother me, stop trains, couldn’t you wait till next time?” And that’s a true story of Consciousness acting on Consciousness and Consciousness acting on Energy. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes they vary but until you come to where Consciousness is acting on the pure Consciousness, that’s Christ state. See she tuned into his consciousness, to the Master’s consciousness but she was not a Master. Now when the Christ consciousness in her would tune in on the Christ consciousness of the Master then that’s a different experience altogether, she would have to go up into that state. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Right now you know. She wouldn’t have to get out of the train or let alone go and bother the Master. Yes? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: What would the minister be using in prayer or what power is he contacting in healing? Audience: In healing or anyone who is sending healing power. Adano: The only force that heals is life force, it can be stimulated by many methods therefore we have the healing arts existing in our environment. The prayer consciousness of the minister is triggering the life force. Yes? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Because the life force goes into effect and the healing occurs. Now the doctor can give you a chemical that will trigger or stimulate that life force faster to perform healing because he’s applying natural laws too to stimulate the life force so we must understand what really heals. Life force heals but life force can be stimulated by various methods. Now some methods are not necessary, other methods are necessary so we have various schools of therapy. If you have a broken bone you’re not going to go to a dentist, you’re going to see a bone specialist and if you have a bad tooth you’re not going to run and look for a naturopath or a chiropractor, you go to a dentist and if your muscles are aching you, you don’t want drugs for that you want massage or some other form of relaxation to take the tension out of it so there are various forms of stimulating the vital energy. Now if you don’t believe in any of the forms and you think that prayer is essential, that also would stimulate the energy. 1:00 You see there must be an understanding of what does it and what will go about triggering it, okay? Thank you. Audience: Would you comment on the force of levitation, have you ever read that in your studies? Adano: The force of levitation. Now every object in this universe to some degree manifest a condition called weight but weight is not an actual thing that you can pick up and look at, it’s a condition that exists by lines of force vibrating upon that object depending on the position you are in the celestial movement of the cosmos. Therefore if you weigh 180 pounds on the planet earth, the lines of force would read on the measuring device which is a scale your so-called apparent weight. Change your position in the orbital movement and place you on the moon, you’ll be very happy if you want to lose weight because you’ll weigh one forth you see. All right the Sages have all realized the atomic physics, they know that they are light. As I said Masters don’t involve themselves with psychic forces, they involve themselves with the actual principles of the atomic science. They understand this science thoroughly, by looking into the light inside they know how the lines of force work and because they can direct the lines of force with their concentration or volition, they then bring the body to a point where it now becomes weightless by separating for a fraction the two lines of force that appear to be pushing and pulling on it and they enter into a weightless state which gives them now the sense of floating. Now if you put a man in a weightless machine or environment what would happen to his body? It will float and would you not say he’s levitating because he’s not displaying any actual contact with his surface environment, he’s so many inches off or so many feet off the surface environment because there is no push or pull on his mechanism. Now he is light to that extent and will therefore float away into that particular field, the realized man has just created by his concentrative power and understanding a field movement whereby he appears now to be in a weightless state. So the yogis know that when they use the term levitation they are not calling on any extraordinary force but those who are not aware of that think they are talking of some extraordinary force and Swami Vivekananda was in this country when they asked him do yogis perform miracles, he said life is a miracle, he says all life is a miracle, they are using the knowledge of the laws of creation around them by understanding the principle of life and light. We have to look at these subjects differently now, not from the standpoint of something mystic but in the view of objective knowledge just as much as an interesting condition like telepathy. Most people ask me “does telepathy exist” and when you tell them it don’t then they kind of worry, what am I trying to sell them but to show them by the very structure of the physical laws around them that telepathy is a natural principle, they cannot grasp it. Telepathy means to communicate, without any visible means, a thought impression from one transmitter to another receiver in consciousness. Since thought is energy, as I showed in meditation it’s a form of energy that can be moved by consciousness, it’s moving in the atmosphere consciously or unconsciously. We live on the planet earth, the diameter is a little over 8,000 miles, the velocity of energy is equal to light squared, that’s 186,000 times 186,000 miles per second, it’s preposterous to think after realizing the fantastic knowledge involved that telepathy is a psychic ability because each human brain in the pineal gland has certain crystals which they call brain sands and these resonate or vibrate with a piezoelectric effect, just like the old-fashioned crystal radios their waves pass through the brain and is transmitted or computed down into consciousness and it comes through mental image or impression, so what does really exist? A lack of concentration or focusing between two individuals of a natural force that is passing through them all the time, that is the vital life power. So mental telepathy is no longer outside of the range of personal experience, it becomes a natural law now to work and if you think, it is done. Prayer is a reality from that standpoint now because you see your prayer thought coming into crystallization. Audience: If you see it, it will crystallize? Adano: Yes, extend the consciousness more to understand the structure of the creation around you, then you will appreciate the vast divinity involved and the devotion will grow, a reverence for life begins. You know Schweitzer, the reverence for life, he was more on the beam. Yes? Audience: Would you comment on diets and fasting? Adano: Diets and fasting, well there are many diets existing some to take off weight, some to put it on and as far as fasting is concerned all true religions in the world practice fasting but in terms of the meditative science we must come to a particular statement made by Jesus, “Man does not live by bread alone” but before He said that, He said these three words, “it is written that Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed out of the mouth God.” Somewhere there is a systematic system of how to draw energy into the body minus the indirect methods of food. Now diet would tend to indicate you’re following some regimen to do one of two things, increase or decrease this body structure. Fasting can do it, if you fast you will lose weight but then if you don’t understand the laws of fasting I wouldn’t recommend it. I used to fast but I had to learn the laws and I had to learn them the hard way too. 1:10 Now as far as diet, I’ve tried every known diet possible and you know orientals are very stubborn people, even when they’re dying and they know they’re wrong they don’t want to admit so I bit off more than I can chew but I learned that the most practical diet is a diet that is natural to the individual in the environment he lives in. I follow a very simple diet, in the morning I eat the type of food that grow high in the trees, that’s fruit and nuts. In the middle of the day I try to eat those that grow above the surface of the ground, I used to be a meat eater so I ate chicken and I ate the beef and the cattle you know the pork and so forth but I quit a long time. Then at evening time I eat those that grow under the ground. Well nature did not intend Man to eat too much at night you know so my selection under the ground is very limited, she made me a big eater in the middle of the day because I have a larger variety and a very small eater in the morning too, not such a large selection. Following this natural simple method I found I kept my health better and I can have that ivy league body, take off all the unnecessary weight so don’t get carried away with it, live a natural simply way. Audience: Why would you not eat meat. Adano: Well when you’re approaching the inner consciousness, you’re going to be confronted with the electrical forms of the creatures that you have consumed and they’re gonna want to know why you didn’t stop eating them but then your subconscious portion of your mechanism is going to tell you “these things aren’t unclean, go ahead eat them” and therefore you will stay in a level of development known as Energy acting on Energy, you never get past that level in your meditation, they are in the energy rhythms. Until you eliminate them gradually from the system and start ascending to other levels in consciousness, the field force does not restrict you no more, your ability to ascend in these conscious levels depend upon the vibratory nature of your physical frame, how you treat it. Now if it’s dense, utilizing the forms that have dense vibratory nature, you’re going to be held back and restricted, the more you are approaching living by divine law which is “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God,” he’s living strictly on solar nutrition now or solar forces, he’s got to eventually eliminate, on his way back to the source his elimination begins with the four-legged creature, the two-legged one, the no-legged one, the origin, that is cell life then comes the fiber shape, plant life then comes the liquid finally he will demonstrate Einstein’s law, Man will draw into his mechanism, light. So how is he going to go back? We have cases where mystics don’t eat at all but they didn’t arrive there overnight either, it’s a long series of dedicative service and awakening. So if I say I don’t eat meat it’s because I have a program in which I’m working on. Audience: (Inaudible) because I’ve heard of a Yogi who only drinks two glasses of milk a day. Adano: Well the milk is not the flesh it’s the secretion from the creature, it is not the actual tissue of the creature. The creature is not being cut up in any way and deprived of his life existence, he secretes this. Audience: That would be liquid? Adano: That’s a liquid. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well I met Brother Thomas in monk’s corner and someone asked the same question, “Why do we eat meat and why we should not eat meat” and the bible says so many different things about it and Brother Thomas was in the monastery there in South Carolina and he says you, “Know I don’t like to get into the technicalities of the why’s and there where-fores and the do-not’s, it’s simply that it’s cheaper to live that way.” Audience: (Laughter). How about eggs? Adano: I used to, I don’t anymore. Audience: What is your protein? Adano: Protein is in many forms and nature has them in three parts of the day for you but don’t jump to my level and do it, you have to go gradually till your body makes the adjustment. Audience: Are eggs somewhere on the level of meat? Adano: Well the egg is in the body of the fowl and it’s formed in there so if you have to eat the egg, eat it at night and if you have to eat meat at night, eat the fish, they live in darkness and if you have to eat the four-legged creatures and two-legged ones, eat them in the middle of the day. You’re eating them in their time sequence and in their own natural movement. Audience: But if you were eliminating, you would eliminate meat and then eggs? Adano: Well you have to eliminate in the same sequence, you don’t become addicted to an object or substance unless it’s a repetitive action and you can’t quit right away, you have to withdraw slowly. So equally true this is a long series, if you are 25 years of age look how long you’ve been eating this substance, you just up and dump it that’s incorrect, that’s unbalanced, that is not realization. Realization is a gradual elimination replacing it with its proper laws, balance. Audience: Have you clarified something you said this afternoon about Christ in His resurrected body when He returned to his disciples, He partook of food and you said the Masters could touch the food and draw the substance, the nourishment out of their body and yet in the bible and I think in the Casey readings it says that Christ masticated this food and digested it. The bible says He ate and I think the readings indicate that in His resurrected, His perfected body, He could eat food and do all these things. Adano: He could, that’s not He could not, I’m just saying that this is one of the ways they usually do, that they will take it in through the finger. Now if He ate it to show them and you know I’ve read many bibles and several bibles don’t even claim He ate the fish, they just said “He prepared it for them and they did eat” but it doesn’t say what He ate and I’ve seen this in various writings of various religious books. Now from my own personal experience from the laws that they’re involved themselves with, they have the ability to absorb osmosically to give you the indication. If they put it in their mouth they can do it too but what is more outstanding is that the fact that energy goes directly through their system and we are familiar with intravenous methods, this would be the emphasis on your consciousness to show you that they don’t need to use this, they can just look at it and draw it in. This would be only a roundabout way to convince you that they are like you, it’s not necessary when they’re in that state. In fact they can breath it, what difference, but doing it with a finger as an indication of respect or holding it, this is absorption, the whole thing is absorption. 1:20 Audience: In other words, He ate it because His disciples… Adano: Would feel more at home with the fact that eating it is a natural way. We live in an environment where we see intravenous methods are being used, I would be more inclined to want to see it that way because seeing it by this way would not satisfy the consciousness but seeing it drawn into the system and seeing it cycled out of the system at the same time. You know it takes so many X hours for food to digest and pass out as residue, now if you can see this process speeded up and passed out of the system, you realize that this is a fantastic mechanism. Not His, yours that don’t even come to that level look what you got to work for and what more to strive for, you appreciate your own, you don’t want to leave this realm too quick, you want to make it. I think we called it now. (Applause).
1971 July 25 - Life of An Initiate
Adano71_07_25LifeOfAnInitiateQ1RR - The word Yoga we all know only means “to yoke or unite” and you can approach it by various schools, eventually you end up having to go inside and there are male Yogis, the science is called Yoga and the male is called Yogi the female is called Yogini so if one tells you they’re practiceing their Yogi, you can know they don’t understand what they’re saying. (Laughter). Well now it doesn’t necessarily mean because one does posture that is what the science really is, that’s a part of it, the science embodies so many facets of life because it’s called yoking or union. Now Swami the word is “Swa” and “Mi,” Swa is self, the God-self and me is Master, one who masters that self but he has to be initiated into it and in the initiation there is a technique that is given. Also there are all initiated into the Shankara who was the first Swami that reorganized the Swami order and this is divided into eight parts. I am in the part known as Saraswati, Saraswati is referred to wisdom, the wisdom of life. Now Yogananda was initiated into the Giri that is the mountain, the one who climbs and lay new frontiers, set new goals. Segar is one who goes out and spreads a word among people in primitive countries, go among people who are involved with everyday serving themselves fishing hunting see and the other branches have different functions so you will often find the word, the last word behind the name of this Swami. Now his name is indicating how he is recycling the energy in his body since I’m initiated into Saraswati that means through a certain wisdom I master myself Swami and I express Nityananda, Ananda means bliss, Nitya means ever new through the nitty-gritty of things, I like to get down to the nitty-gritty of it. So one boy says when we make our little booklets to go out we’re gonna have a page and call you “Swami Nitty Gritty answers” but Nitya really means “ever new,” getting down to the fine points of things. Paramahansa Yogananda, Ananda meaning bliss, Yoga means union with the bliss. The requirements of the initiate life and I’m not talking primarily for the renunciate, there are many places for that, I’m talking more for the householder, one who does not go away from his obligations or his environment, one who carries on the family life, this has more appeal to me. Even before I met Master Yogananda via one of those manifested principles, I did not see him physically and went to California, I was living in Canada and one night I had a manifestation and even when I found out he was a living man I wrote and asked to be interested in the science of meditation and even he wrote back and told me “Stay where you are, meditate, don’t come and see my body.” Now this is quite heart-rending for someone who is searching for truth to be told from that level don’t come and see the body, you know this can really shake you up, well I didn’t go yet I was also told “The best will come to you.” Years past, I did not see his body until I found out that he had passed on and I wanted to go to India to be a Swami, really get down to the science of meditation and even then every attempt blocked it, eventually Anand Swami Maharaj from India came 1969 and initiated me into Swamihood. Well I realized Master Yogananda had already foreseen my life, in his simple way indicated what I should have done so I just responded but I preferred when I met Anand Swami Maharaj to find out from his life that he was a householder, you can imagine my joy. Paramahansa Yogananda was a renunciate, I start to put two things together and see well why I should not have gone to see his body or be in his presence, I might have been carried away, swayed away with the renunciation and repeat the same thing all over again in like past lives here but maybe this was my particular role now to pursue the path in the home with the wife and the daily responsibilities but you know your mind tells you something else and when you’re confronted with the ideal you think that’s the wrong thing to do but after meeting Anand Swami Maharaj and finding out here was a man that was married, family, all the ups and downs, fought alongside with Mahatma Gandhi to free his country, became a millionaire in the world, pursued the spiritual life I said this is what I was looking for, a rounded out life at last. Here in society I can pursue an occupation, still follow my spiritual life inwardly, still be responsible to a wife, still take on the commitments of society, the general growth of the community, I saw this with what we need so I said this initiate life has more ideal to me. Then I find that everyone I turn around and come in contact have the same problems, they want to be spiritual, they want to love one another as husband and wife yet conflict comes up that seem to drive them away from each other so I realized if I was to live the initiate life for the householder then this is the reason why Master Yogananda did not want me to see his body. The requirements are very simple for the householder in fact they are so simple that most householders don’t even recognize it, we don’t have to leave the home, the home is already an ashram or a retreat treat it as such, treat your home as a spiritual place, a little corner dedicated to daily meditation would be exactly the same in a big retreat with a chapel. The basic disciplines are the minimization of the intake of the animal life not drastic, cleaning up this body as much as you can, trying to regain the physical well-being of it, respect for each other as husband and wife, and to spend a little time in daily meditation morning and evening by yourself or together. 0:10 Any confrontation or doubt as to one’s progress, have an open negotiation with the other person and let them help you to cycle out any frustration inside. We did a mass recycling today in our meditation as a group trying to release, try to make decisions, any internal pressure if two people work at it they can clear it up. In their ashrams the student goes to his teacher to help him overcome the problem, in the home the husband and wife can help each other then the children can be helped. Now the initiate life for the householder has one advantage over the renunciate initiate, that is the Masters do not keep the strong disciple close to him, he keeps the weak ones and he called them lambs, they are the renunciates. The householder initiate is one who’s away from him, he called them sheep because they are strong, they can stand on their own two feet, they have already made inroads in their consciousness to solve problems and are now becoming like the Master consciousness. In the ashrams or in the retreats in the eastern country the most evolved student of that Master is never close to him, you will always find him in the kitchen preparing food, it’s a fact. His presence, his contact with the food imparts the Master’s grace to all those who need nourishment in many ways. If a Master is going to bless food for a group of people and let’s say the food is broken up in plates for each one and for a specific person, his love will go in different ways. Now the person who is the most advanced will always be the one to give it out so one would get the impression when they go to a retreat that the person who is handling the food is the most unevolved individual and the one who is sitting down next to the Master with all the books, making all the different records and everything is the most advanced one but inwardly inside it is not so. The Master can trust the one there handling the food without any fear, the one he keeps close he’s got to constantly correct him lest he may slip back. The householder is the one that is recorded to have more given to him because of his ability to stand on his own two feet therefore there is a saying “Greater the obstacle, greater the man.” Since he takes on the householder life, he takes on greater responsibilities, if he takes on the renunciate life he is cutting off certain responsibilities. The householder has to balance his life and he does not avoid confrontation whereas the renunciate may say “Well I don’t like society, I can go and hide myself” but when a man is married to his wife, he can’t up and say “I’m gonna take off and go in the woods,” she’s not going to like it see because of the confrontations so the initiate life that I’m following is the householder life, this is the path that is for modern Man. Here in the west, in any part of the world, modern Man can take heart in his household obligations now and gain realization. Meditation by yourself or together is vitally important in your home life, your own home is your own retreat and you know between myself and my wife who tries to compete to cook the food? So we all want to get that grace to serve so the husband can learn now how to prepare the food or the joy of doing it because his handling of it gives off the vibrations of his consciousness, equally the wife who handles it gives off the vibrations and respect for the body temple. This is one of the most important thing of the householder life, the householder does not try to abuse it because he knows that this is not like the renunciate who is cut off everything and would not get involved therefore the householder becomes more aware of keeping the body healthier, better conditioned so he’s more responsive in many ways not only to his wife and family but to the environment and society in which he lives in. The structure of society is based on the marriage, it’s not based on the eunuch, this is why the householder life has more to offer Mankind. The fabric of Mankind is involved in a Father/Mother God so just say God is my Father never think of mother it’s not possible, I cannot look at myself and say I didn’t have a mother, I just had a Father true, can’t say I just have a Father and no mother, these two parts make for the whole. The householder life is not difficult, we don’t run from anything, we face everything, initiation into it is very simple it involves how the energy is locked into the body and can be practiced in the home just as much as you can practice in a retreat as a renunciate but they tell me this and I’ve seen it with brother disciples and friends of mine who I’ve visited in retreats that the renunciate man is working harder, longer hours than the happy married man because from the time he gets into the retreat the one in charge makes sure that this new recruit will keep his nose to the grindstone and he’s had no time to let up let alone no comforts of someone being sorry for his wounds so he has to keep his nose to the grindstone. So when I meet some of these renunciates they said “You know you’re lucky, here we come, we thought we’d have more time to meditate, we could sit down and really get into this thing but from the time we are here we were working from six o’clock to ten o’clock at night and lights out at half past ten.” So you see I didn’t get anything while looking at a renunciate life because they have a routine in the morning they have to get up at six, five thirty to six, gets a few minutes of meditation then off into the routine of getting the place going. 0:20 And midday a few minutes to sit down and eat and then go again so actually the renunciate is not so happy as you think he is but he needs that lesson. Whereas the married man who takes on the responsibility, the obligations, he has more to contend but there’s a greater joy that comes inside because he’s sharing not only with himself, with others that he’s involved with right away. The renunciate does not have to take out a lease on a house, he doesn’t have to take out insurance in his car, he does not have to worry about if his children cry out for food or medicine, the householder has that. Now let’s see the consciousness at work, the man who renounces does not have a confrontation to draw on the divine source to solve it right away whereas the man who has a confrontation he’s forced to go in and call on that divine force to satisfy the need because he’s going to turn heaven and hell to get something to feed that crying baby you see, he doesn’t care now if he suffers all the pangs of his own aches and pains, he doesn’t want to see his child in that state, he of all persons is actually drawing this consciousness down to work and putting it into action. Sometimes we don’t realize how close the householder is lined up with the God-self and because he does not wear the robe and have the outward prestige, one may think he’s not spiritual and the one who has renounced and taken the robe and has the outward prestige beating, he is spiritual. The real battle begins when the householder tackles the problems of living because God is life and that is why you can take heart wherever you are that the initiate life of the household is still the greatest. Now to cite them some interesting cases, there was a Saint by the name of Vyas Muni, Muni means monk and he had his son named Shakuntala. The boy was in the mother’s womb and the father taught him the entire Bhagavad Gita that when he was born at the age of four he repeated the Bhagavad Gita back to his Father. This sounds quite unusual but the boy grew up and wanted his father to initiate him into the monkhood, into the spiritual life and the Father says “No, I want you to go to King Janaka, he will initiate you into this.” So the boy wanted to be a renunciate, follow the path, he decided to go and see King Janaka. Arriving at the court of King Janaka he saw this king, the flagon of wine, lump of roast here, beautiful women running around, and he’s inside enjoying himself and this is his court. So the boy says to himself, “That’s the type of teacher to lead me to God? No sir, my father has done an injustice,” goes back to see his father. Father says “No, I can’t introduce you to the spiritual life, go back to King Janaka, he is your true guide forward.” So heartbroken he went back and in going back he was hiding behind the bushes looking at the king not realizing the king was realized inside and the king clapped his hand, told one of the couriers to call the young man then he dismissed the people. As the boy approached the king said to him, “I see you are the son of the great Sage Vyas Muni.” Now no introduction is necessary, the boy realized here for the first time he’s confronting someone with consciousness, living ordinary household life. So they spent a while and had some wonderful experiences. Now another householder monk was Lahiri Mahasaya, he lived in his home, earned his livelihood and one day he was sitting down by the door looking out and along came a Swami, a renunciate. In India this is unheard of that the renunciate monk would walk up and abase himself in front of a householder, it’s usually the reverse the householder throws himself at the feet of the renunciate. So all the disciples of the renunciate Swami were aghast and they said “How could you, a renunciate, break such tradition, do such a thing to a householder. He’s just an ordinary man in the house,” and the Swami turned around and said, “Brother, the realization of my brother is such I will willingly renounce this loincloth for it.” In other words that consciousness was more involved in the truth than the outward garb, where he was wearing the outward garb and did not have the inner truth or the thing. Sri Yukteshwar was also a married man, Gautama Buddha was also a married man. Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion was also a married man, the present Sikh Master, Master Charan Singh is a married man, he is the head of the Sikh religion, he is a lawyer by profession and a doctor of arts, an engineer and he has the full realization inside yet he carries on his business and he’s a millionaire, he owns a plantation in heritage from his grandFather, he’s alive, and he feeds an average of 160,000 people four times a year out of his pocket so we see the householder Sage is an unusual Sage or person. Anand Maharaja, the one that initiated me as I said he too made headway by remaining as a householder and attaining the inner realization. When we think that the householder life is impractical for spiritual life, we are wrong. In this age which we call the aquarian age or which the Hindus is called the Dvapara age, it is the age of the Saint millionaire. Many Saints with full realization will be millionaires in their own right, self-made men, married. All the Masters in the East perceive potential Saints waiting to be awakened in this part of the world, already married with their families, they are potentially awaiting to be awakened inside so the initiate life is a very simple life, doesn’t call for much renouncing, a little moment every day in your little corner as you spend meditating. 0:30 Two and a half hours per day is required for the initiate as a householder to meditate, one tenth portion of 24 hours, the only real form of tithing, “Render unto God what is God’s, render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.” The householder does both, he pays taxes and he meditates and render his consciousness back to God. The renunciate, he doesn’t render unto Caesar, he’s over involved trying to render to God but does he really render? He may spend 10-12 hours never really rendering anything yet the householder can because of his tremendous acumen, involvement, decision making, he can harness this consciousness quicker and really render his consciousness to that light and as soon as he sees that light he can feel it and he’s engrossed in it. So I’m not trying to oversell the household life but I realize here in this part of the world it is one of the most neglected part of the spiritual life, the home life. We all seem to think that the renunciation is the ideal life, it was good in Kali Yuga or in the Piscean age when we did not understand the properties of matter let alone atomic physics clearly, it was not so well utilized or publicized but here as we become more and more aware of the structure of our environment the householder life is the only life that offers great promise because one can have his education, one can retain his family life, one can aspire to the best ideal in an intellectual way, occupational way, and still gain complete God realization. What more rounded out opportunity can a man have or a woman? Thank you for listening to my… if you have questions I would be glad to answer it. (Applause). Audience: How many initiates joined with you and how many finished or were washed out? Adano: (Laughter). Well when you say joined with me in what sense of the word? Audience: How many did the Swami have and how many went on to become a Swami? Adano: Do you mean Anand Swami or Parahamansa Yogananda or… Audience: Well in the householder field. Adano: Oh in the householder field… The percentage of the householders realized men are like that in relation to the percentage of the renunciate men. There are more householder renunciates who were realized than the renunciate himself, on record there are more especially in women, don’t think they are not women realized Masters. You know I once saw a cartoon and my wife cut it out just to make sure that people when they come there… here is a mountain climber in the Himalayas and he reaches the highest peak and who should he see at the top of the peak, a woman in lotus posture and she’s saying to him, “How enlightened you are, didn’t you know there are women Masters too?” Which is true, there are women Masters and they don’t have necessary to renounce, some have renounced like Mirabehn, Ananda Moyi but others are married. In the case of Ananda Moyi Ma she’s still alive, she’s the head of the Banares retreat of her own and she’s married and what is an interesting thing about it is this, the night she was marred to her husband when he came in the room he embraced his wife and found himself 15 feet across the other side of the room then he woke up to the reality, here is a female Master and he remained for the balance of his life to become her spiritual servant yet her husband to provide, he grew into realization also inside. Now the two have learned the lesson of Soul-mating because she not only acted as a Master to him, she lifted him up in his Soul that they grew together inside. See what can happen and she was married and she still is married, she hasn’t… he’s passed on she’s alive so there are women Masters too. Well Master Kirpal Singh who is another brother disciple of Master Charan Singh of the Sikhs, he’s a Sikh, he is married. The last great Master Jaimal Singh was a married man, these men have all obtained realization and were married. Audience: A Master is married? Adano: A male Master and a female Master, yes the present Master Charan Singh his wife is a fully realized Master in her own right and I’ll tell a little story about her. The grandfather was the head of the ashram not too long ago when Dr. Julian Johnson from this country went to visit the grandfather and studied with him and wrote the book called “The Path of the Masters.” He stayed at that retreat and one day the grandson came in to pay respects to the grandfather. After prostrating to the grandFather the grandfather said “You know you have to get married.” He says “No I don’t want to get married.” He says “Yes you have.” Well he let it be. One day a train is coming along and the train don’t normally stop at a spot where this retreat is and a man and his young daughter were in train, he was a student of the boy’s grandfather. The girl said to her Father “Daddy I’d like to go see the Master” just like that. He says “Child, the train don’t stop here.” She said “I want to see the Master.” He couldn’t pacify her, just as the train got to the point where the village is, the wheels are turning and the train is not going, it stops right there, it’s not going, the train is right there. They wire ahead, they say something is wrong with the train, they want an engineer to come and fix it, that’ll take two days. She got out and the Father with her and they went to see the great teacher. He paid his respects to his teacher but as soon as he came in the compound the teacher was sitting down meditating with his group of students and he opened his eyes and he looked at her, the young girl, and he said “Why do you bother me, why you want me to stop trains for you?” Just like that. Anyway she said to the Master “Would you initiate me into the spiritual life?” So the students around says “Master she’s too young.” Well he touched her in her head and she had a marvelous experience, just then the grandson walked in. So he said to the grandson “You have to get married you know.” “I don’t want to get married grandfather, I’m too busy studying to be a lawyer. I’m going to be an engineer and a laywer, I’m going to do things in this world, I’ve got no time you know, I’m going to be a real trailblazer.” So the grandfather says “You’ve got to get married.” He says “Well I don’t know of any woman that’s going to match up with me.” He says “All right, here is your future wife,” that was the young girl. 0:40 So he looked at the girl, couldn’t accept her as his wife that proposed to be, grandparents and parents always select you know, this is part of the custom. So the grandfather says, “You meditate and see how far you can go in your consciousness” and he closes eyes to meditate, grandfather winked at the girl, “Go find him.” As far as he went inside the inner consciousness she followed him, there was not a place he could hide in God that she couldn’t find him (laughter) then he realized he was confronted, checkmate. He got married and he is the head of the retreat and his wife works with him together so I am very happy to say I’ve got the same problem (laughter) but it is a marvelous thing to have, any other questions? Audience: How does one measure a fully realized Master, is there a special way of knowing when someone has reached that state? Adano: The four basic things are: he does not accept no gifts, he earns his livelihood, he does not attract you to God by miracles, and he only tells you the knowledge of God through the life current and the sound current and that means you will hear this current inside of yourself. “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and the Word is made flesh and dwelt in Man,” this is the essence of his message, he always tells you that. Another thing he allows you to examine his life from all facets before you decide that he’s a Master, he will never tell you he is a Master, he will always say “I am a servant or I am a disciple of a great Master. There is no room in his mind to tell you he is a Master, he is a servant and he loves to can cook (laughter). Audience: Can you tell us how you found your wife? Adano: Very interesting (laughter), she was praying years ago while I was living in Canada for someone who lives in a spiritual way. I was traveling back and forth and the day she left Colorado to return to Texas was the very day I arrived in Texas with a friend and the very day I lost everything stolen out of the car so I was stranded. A few days after I had to go to the West coast, years passed I came back to Texas not knowing why. I was invited by a group of people to talk on meditation, they had heard that I used to study and teach meditation and when I attended the meditation group one of the boys who ran the group said to me “I’d like you to meet a friend of ours, she’s a doctor.” I said all right, the next day she came. We met (laughter) then she told me years after, “I had a vision of a retreat being built in Tyler since 1948” and she’s been studying all that time to accumulate information about running one so in a way our lives have interlocked but I don’t say it’s an easy life, “greater the obstacle, greater the man.” I’m here, it’s not so easy for her to be there she is there it’s not easy for me to be here see and if you don’t call on the phone you’re neglecting me and if you call on the phone you’re costing me too much money (laughter) but you love it. You know at times I go out in the jobs because I have to work and you don’t call immediately, something is wrongm loss of affection but then our inner consciousness works in stranger, the body wants one type of communication and the Soul wants another type of communication so who wins? I think the body wins (laughter). In the end the Soul wins you know, both party knows that inner trust is there, yes? Audience: How and when does one become an initiate. Adano: When you feel you’re ready to accept the householder life as in way of walking in God and I am here up to Wednesday and if God is willing for you to walk that path you may knock at the door and appear and then you will get the information. You see it’s not for me to beg you or try to trap you or put you into position to be one, it must come from an inner experience that the householder life is the life you want you see. I cannot say to you, a married couple, that the renunciate life or the householder life is the ideal, I am presenting what I am. If you think it is the one you want to stay in, good, if you think the other one is better then all these things will resolve themselves for you. I pray that within three days any resolution that is made, I’ll be happy to serve, if not I’m still happy to listen. Don’t jump into anything until you resolve it in yourself, have an inner experience first. See many of us are thrown together and we think we’re not in the right place but we are in the right place, we have to learn how to recognize it, yes? Audience: Have you heard of this Sai Baba from India? Adano: Yes. Audience: Supposedly he performs miracles and he pulls all types of objects out of the air. If this is not what a Master does, is he using the spritual force in a negative way? Adano: (Chuckling). He’s not attracting disciples to him you know, he’s not attracting people to him to take them to God, he’s just showing that he’s a God-realized man. His Godness is flowing through him of what Man will be in the golden age, he’s a forerunner. What John the Baptist was the Jesus, Sai Baba so happened to turn out to be what we will be when we are realized. I do have something from him which he has materialized for me so I know what type of consciousness is there. He is an example, the word “Sai Baba” Satya Sai Baba, you see one does not call him Sai, it’s Satya. There is an age in the Hindu cycles that are called Satya Yuga, that’s the golden age for the Greeks, the age of the perfect God-Man, walking, performing his normal functions which we think are miracles. Now Baba means Father, you see, or example. He is an example of what Man eventually will be on this planet Earth when we arrive at that stage. In every age the Creator allows one of his creation to be an example of the God-self, there has never been an age where there’s never been one. Let’s back up a hundred years, if you were living in India or China or some place you might have run into one such person too. Now you’re living today in this age and the information is coming out that such a person does exist. We’ll always have in every age one such person, even the great Master Babaji who retains his physical body, give and take a few hundred years he’s a little close to a thousand, still he retains it to show what Man-God body can be, I’ve been blessed with his grace, put it that way. They do exist and we are not to infringe upon their freedom, we’re only to realize that there are “lives of great men who have made their lives sublime, they have gone ahead of us leaving footprints on the sands of time” and that we should also make our lives into that. See the poet was saying that in a sense, “lives of great men all remind us we should make our lives sublime, going ahead of us leaving footprints on the sands of time.” These great men who have realized themselves will always be examples for us, if there are no examples, we have no hope. If Master Jesus did not come down to live among us, would we have anything to hope for? If we don’t think He will come back, is there anything to hope for too? You see hope is important. Thank you. (Applause).
1971 July 25 - Prayer and Meditation
Adano71_07_25PrayerAndMeditationQ1RR - I know most people come and this to them is a lecture you but to us Swami’s this is Satsanga. Satsanga is fellowship with truth and in order to start it we calibrate our consciousness (short meditation). Thank you. Now our consciousness are at three levels: physical, electrical, ideational. The subject, prayer, most of us have grown up and we’re coached by our parents to pray to some unseen force to solve our problems when we are in need and in my search and travel I have seen all types of prayer. They all work, that’s the funny part about it if you give them time and sometimes they leave both the recipient and the person who is doing the prayer for the other person in a state of wonderment, what really occurred? Sometimes that little worm of doubt seemed to remain in the mind, what really occurred after we prayed? “I’m thankful I’m healed, I’m thankful I got what I prayed for. Did I do it, did some outside force did it? That little worm of doubt is there yet whenever problems come up we still go looking for someone or some person who seems to know how to pray better than you do for you. You don’t seem to have faith in your own ability to pray and if you do it, you’re still in doubt if you’re getting the right answers or if the answers are the ones that are coming from some divine source or is coming from your own inner feelings or ego. Prayer is good if you know how to use it properly. There is a statement in your scriptures that state “When the disciples could not heal by prayer, they came back to the Master Jesus and said they couldn’t heal certain problems” and He said “Much prayer and fasting meditation is needed for such a problem.” Well prayer has one effect, fasting has another effect, meditation has another effect, we can’t pursue the real inner life inside unless we link prayer to meditation by fasting. This may seem strange that prayer is linked to meditation by fasting and before the ministry of the Master Jesus began what did He do for 40 days and 40 nights? They said He fasted, there have to be some valuable reason in the practice of fasting. Well I didn’t believe it but when I was among people who prayed and really got results, I saw them practicing fasting. When I inquire they said to me “How could you with your stuffed up tummy, aggravated mind, expect to get results from the divine source? Your whole mechanism would be centered on those sensations.” So I said “You must be right” so I decided to experiment for myself. Fasting, the term seems to indicate to abstain from, it can be abstaining from literally food but that is not all there is to fasting. We have five senses in which we generate all our energy to get involved with our environment and when the environment gets so heavily laden and clogged up and impinges its influence on those five senses, any attempt to pray seems futile. If we can fast not only mouth that eats, sight that sees, hearing that hears, nose that smell, touch, we’re going to draw back our involvement from the environment, we all need a certain period of our life to withdraw these forces back. If we read our scriptures properly it states that God made this whole universe in six days and rested on the seventh. If you work six, rest seven, rest indicates abstaining from involvement. If you look at the body and if you truly accept it as the temple of the Lord and that you have five senses which must work and if one sustains himself by his own occupation then we dedicate six days of our physical life to make that preparation, to take care of our physical needs and if Sunday is the day of prayer and meditation. If they did we decided it should be, other people take Saturday or whatever day you decide, that should be the day to experiment with fasting. Don’t experiment just not to eat, see how long you can stay one day without talking, one day without not even opening your eyes to look out though you’re wide awake inside, one day to listen without making comments in your consciousness, one day to feel activity in the environment around you so that you know tranquility is possible, the whole body is immersed in tranquility. 0:10 These are simple techniques of fasting but when carried to its true nature to bridge it to meditation, we will see something very interesting. Meditation is that particular form of communication that is different than prayer, it’s a form of communication that directs the individual taught activities towards an intuitive or extrasensory or independent of the senses observation and oneness with reality, God. If God being the source and having the answer to problems, when we direct our thought activities to that source then we must be able to present the problem in consciousness, wait for an answer then execute the action in your daily life. Let’s take the ability to make decisions, do you realize this is one the hardest ability to make or apply, to make a decision when you’re confronted with a problem? Aren’t we constantly making decisions yet we say “go pray, go meditate, we’re going to get answers” and we pray and we meditate we pray and meditate and then I still want to go look for somebody who may have the answer, then I don’t even know how to contact my Godhead for the answer but let’s see if the Godhead has not taught us in His own wisdom simple laws that we unconsciously apply and cannot recognize as wisdom for making decisions. You drive a car, you’re constantly making decisions do you realize that? You take it for granted, stop the car, look out for the next guy, you got to watch in the rear mirror, on approaching traffic night or day, in the mind you’ve got to get to the bank before it close or you got to go to the hospital because someone is dying. The mind, the thought activities are revolving around in there and you’re busy computing to make decisions yet by common agreement a red light means to stop, you can cheat then you pay the price but subconscious mind is the place you’ll have to go when you want to make decisions. It knows it has cheated many times, it ran through many red lights and when you really want it to function for you, subconscious mind does not give you answers to the problems you want to solve, you are violating your own inner harmony. By mutual consent from the environment you accept green as go, to act without conflict but we take advantage of that too, we disobey the rules along the highway. 40 miles means 50 miles, past the next man at 60 because that’s the limit go 70, the pressures force us to make decisions that are going to affect the inner Man and when the time comes for the inner Man to really solve problems, doesn’t come forward then you blame God for not being capable of answering your problems. You meditate, you say meditation don’t work, you pray and it doesn’t work then you ask people to pray for you in prayer circles. All right God is great, the prayer force of others does intercede, their intercessory prayer help you to get by but don’t you realize you’re getting something for nothing, you’re not really solving your problems, you’re constantly relying on someone to lift you up, when are you going to lift yourself up? The disciple should be as the Master, is he always going to be a disciple, pulled by the nose, led to the grave, when is he going to stand up and master his life? Meditation is supposed to give us mastery, we must obey certain simple rules and it will work. One we will try today in today’s meditation is how to make decisions work. Now again I said green means to go, you’ve accepted this, you live it night and day by driving an automobile, red means to stop. If everybody took red to mean go and you took it to mean stop and you took green to stop and he took it for go what would happen? We would have a tremendous catastrophe after a while. We take yellow to mean caution but I remember this story when I was first visited Texas, elderly gentleman went for his driver’s license and the officer says “how long have you taken your driver’s test?” “Oh many many years.” Says “All right, since you’re of this age I don’t want to put you too much trials, I’ll just ask a few questions, what is the red light for?” “Oh that’s stop.” “Green light?” “Go.” “Yellow light?” “Go like hell!” (Laughter). When we condition our subconscious mechanism in those ways, when the time come again to make decisions we fail. Human mind thinks in pictures and pictures take forms or symbols, geometrical shape, eventually they have color and sound or music. Since we are pre-conditioned by mutual consent to act in an orderly fashion in our environment, we can use the most simplest method of bringing about decision-making in our consciousness. When we look in we don’t realize that our subconscious mind does not like to be burdened because it fights for its survival, it tries to make excuses to the conscious mind at times. The subconscious mind loves to keep things in a simple way, keep it simple, it’s just like an obedient private in the army it doesn’t like complex conditions, it revolts. If the traffic department had made the traffic rules complicated for us to respond, we will be having more accidents than we do have now, you see but because they have simplified the actions, our subconscious mind respond quicker. All right each one of us here have some decision to make today concerning jobs, concerning personal life, problems, illness, and so forth way down in the subconscious mind you’re asking yourself how can you be free from it? We are going to establish the color pattern: red is to stop that is where you are, learn to find out what is happening, what are you doing right now, are you honest with yourself? Yellow means caution that means get more information. Green means to go ahead and act, follow up. 0:20 Within the color can come the actual pictures if the mind is steady so we have a color tv set in our own brains. Our problems face us, we don’t see the conditions tomorrow that we have to walk in an office and face the man, we think that we are not capable of generating clairvoyant vision and we go all types of ways to conflict ourselves when we can take the simplest things and bring out results to face ourselves. As we close our eyes to meditate, God is the principle life itself that contains all the answers to our problems that confront us. We are in this automobile of life, a body, we’re driving on the road it’s a one-way, no toll road it’s called birth to death. There’s not turn back and there are no u-turns and no exchanges, we’re just going. We have decisions to make at every point of confrontation but if we obey the rules, we will get results. Now you have to think back how many times have you disobeyed the actual outer rules, this will determine how many times you’re incapable of bringing this to the surface because the subconscious mind has been tricked too many times and would not know how to respond. If you have run through many red lights, your memory retains it, if you are drove like mad right through the yellow light, the memory will retain it, the green light means to go and if you were driving so slow that you held up traffic, your consciousness is going to retain it so these are the conditions that are going to monitor and interfere temporarily, not permanently, temporary the coming true of the decisions you are looking for. So don’t be afraid if it doesn’t come immediately, be glad if they come immediately because then you’re honest with yourself, if they’re not coming through don’t be disappointed they have to come through sooner or later, it’s only natural. So close your eyes, think of any problem that you have to make a decision, present it to the consciousness, you’re at stoplight red now, there’s where you are right now because you can’t go forward, you don’t know how to go forward and at that point you want to see the problem so you have to see it in red, this is where you are right now in consciousness. So close the eyes and watch inside and think of the problem and see it in red, each one of us have different problems. (Meditation). Now you ask the mental question, “What should I do?” and allow the consciousness to telegraph to you one of the three colors, it will superimpose itself on the one where you are right now. Everybody is at red and when you ask the question the consciousness will reach out into the cosmos then it will telegraph back to you the color and within the color it can also telegraph the images or sceneries of seeing yourself passing through performing the service. (Meditation). Now as soon as you get the image or color in consciousness, keep the eyes closed, you’re going to do what is called a dimensional reduction. Your body is going to get very large and everything in the consciousness is going to shrink down in size. It will shrink down first to the size of a quarter down to the size of a penny. 0:30 And reach up with your right hand consciously and take that little light, it’s a hand grenade, you can’t hold it too long if you pull the pin and throw it and see it explode into white light. (Meditation). All the pent up tension of indecision is going out with it and that white light pouring into your being is revitalizing you now and you are offering up thanks for its manifestation. That white light is removing all the brain fatigue, doubt, tension from the forehead, the eyes, the ears, nostrils and lips, the throat, the shoulder, the chest, abdomen, liver and kidneys, hips, groin, thighs, kneecaps, calves, ankles, toes, you and that white light is one now. The sense of confidence and strength is being reinforced in you, your willpower is increased, wherever you go you’re at the right place at the right time for the right experience, answers, and questions. The vital energy is pouring into you abundantly. Now I want you to think of a very happy moment in your life, it may be your boyhood or girlhood or some particular thing that you truly enjoyed very much. (Meditation). Now I want you to see the Christ conscious being looking at you with his eyes, radiating his love into your being. The divine Christ radiating his love into you with his eyes. (Meditation). “As many of you receive him in your consciousness, unto you is given the power of cosmic consciousness” and if you feel in the mood to cry from tears of joy enjoy it for God is a God of joy. (Meditation). 0:40 There is no condemnation in God consciousness except in your own subconscious mind. (Meditation). Freeman all, lord of yourselves (your cells?). (Meditation). Now partially open the eyes and flow with the peace that passes all understanding. (Meditation). Thank you very much, bless you. I surely hope many of you have got answers to your decisions to be made, honesty with oneself makes this meditation a reality anytime you apply it. It’s a very simple process, you are driving the car of your Soul inside just as much as you drive the car outside and obey the rules. Decision making confrontations are all inside too, “As it is in heaven so it is on earth,” as what goes on in the consciousness goes on in the physical laws. Physical order / mental order, meditation can be applied anytime, any place, we don’t need to run away from any place. Master Jesus said “Retreat into your innermost chamber,” keep it simple. Healing applies too, keep it simple. Whatever the problem is: health, finances, occupation, it’s already programmed to work a certain way because we are trained so why create confusion, why not go along with what is basically natural there. Men would not set up rules to govern themselves had they not had the foresight to see certain actions of behavior that maintains order. We are living in the world, we’re not supposed to run from it, we’re supposed to learn how to operate with it. We have a karmic debt, we’re not supposed to run from that either, we’re supposed to learn how to work with it. We’re not going to be freed from anything, we’re going to be free for everything. This is what the meditative life has to offer. Thank you. (Applause). Any questions pertaining to the meditation today? Audience: In a sense pertaining to meditation, I understand the book of revelations is on meditation. Would you comment on the book of revelations, what it means and what are we to learn from it. (Laughter). Adano: I should comment on the book of revelation, what it means and how you learn from it? (Laughter). Well let’s take the word revelation, why did the author call his manuscript “revelation,” from where to where? That’s the question you have to ask if you’re interested in the subject. Where are you revealing from, to what are you revealing to? Remember the disciples of the Master Jesus lived a very mystical life, an outer and an inner life and in the writings of the disciples there was no mention of what occur in the anatomy of the inner life. What is the actual workings of inside, what occurs when one goes inside beyond certain levels of experience or awarenesses to perceive what is going on? So John who wrote that particular book, he wrote his inner revelations of what he perceived occurring in the inner life. Now many of the things are in there that pertain to prognosticating in the future but we’re looking at them in symbolic conditions. The inner life deals with the inner structure of this mechanism because it tells you of seven golden candlesticks and seven stars and in eastern writings they all refer to something about seven, seven, seven in the body and yogis like to say there’s seven chakras and medical men there are seven systems in the human body and they’re always seven something, it was a way in which they were looking in to study this structure. Now in order to experience revelation why don’t we just take a few minutes and go through the experience? Which is better to read the book, hear of it, or to have an experience of what are the seven things inside of you? Audience: Experience. 0:50 Adano: All right, your body is the thing you have to work with so close the eyes. (Adano starts color recycling). Now the first point of focus is the base of the spine and think of the color red as a garbage bin and from that location try to consciously or by memory empty all the disappointments and frustrations, aggravations from as far back as you can remember into that garbage bin: childhood grievances, anxiety, emotional upsets, disappointments, fears, criticisms, resentments, tension, empty it all into that red garbage bin. Now see or think the next color orange lined up with the procreative organs, that too is a garbage bin, all we’re doing is changing the color of the garbage bins. Empty all your emotional feelings into there from that area of the body, memories of it. Now see if it will change into yellow and localize it in the area of the navel and again think of throwing all the conditions that are frustrating, disappointing into that yellow garbage with from that area of the body, all the stress. Some people can see it, some people just think of it, localize it, some people can even feel it. Now see that garbage bin changing into the color green and it’s localized by the heart. All the feelings of frustration, emotional conditions over the years flowing away from that area into that garbage bin. Now try and see or think of it in the color of blue located around the throat, there’s another garbage bin, blue, empty all the disappointment of conversation, communication, the anger, resentments from that area. Now see or think that this garbage bin is becoming purple or violet between the point of your eyebrows, here again throw all the resentments over the years into it from that area. At that point see the Christ’s conscious light, His eyes radiating into you, he’s called the Lamb of God, it’s a very gentle soothing sensation pouring into your being. Now see this garbage bin shrinking down in size with all the accumulated tensions and frustrations over the entire period of your life, shrinking down to the size of a penny. 1:00 Now reach up with your right hand and take it and throw it like a hand grenade and see it explode into white light, your whole head is covered like wool with a white light pouring into it. You have a 360 degree vision into infinity now, your head is the sun, your throat is the moon, your entire body is the milky system, the whole galaxy is you. Every point from the base of the spine, the sacral center of the organs, lumbar center in line with navel, dorsal center in line with the heart, cervical center in line with the throat, Christ center point between the eyes, God center top of the skull is now releasing pure vital life force through you, uninterrupted, the whole body is full of light, it’s full of the peace that passes all understanding. Slowly open the eyes, gradually, partially and flow with the peace. Thank you. You now have access to your centers, you can go back in anytime you want and you can travel through the currents. Any questions? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: That’s good. Audience: Can you tell us more about what you’re planning in Texas? Adano: We’re building a retreat, a place for training people to meditate, instructors, and we’re growing organic gardening and a conservatory for health of various techniques for healing that are recognized, we’re building people there we want to work and we have a sanctuary for prayer and meditation, research. Across the road from it there are land available for people who want to retire in the area, right now we’ve just acquired it and in the process of getting it cleared. Our first building is about to be set up, that is a utility building. Most people that came for retreat last year and this year were campers so we realized that the first thing to have is the necessary facilities for keeping clean so we’ve purchased cement mixer with our own block making so many of young men who will coming from different parts of the states, they’re helping to do the work. At present I’m just traveling around making people more conscious of it but I have to go back and watch it too. Audience: You say we, you and your wife and who else? Adano: Myself, my wife, and several of the members of the board of trustees who are involved with it. See there are several groups in Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, Pascagoula Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee that are involved in this activity so various members from those areas come through to help the work. Audience: What is the address? Adano: It’s 722 and a half South Bois D’Arc, Tyler Texas, that’s a french word you can send it to any… The reason we chose the name All Faith, when Yogananda was in this country he called his church the Church of All Religions but then people could not grasp that at that time so now all I’ve done is to… since our friend the pope has become so ecumen minded, it was very simple to go ahead and call the thing All Faith Fellowship, everyone is welcome, our motto is “Don’t convert me, convert yourself.” Audience: Can you say more about the school? Adano: Yeah this school is a Montessori school which we’re trying to form, my wife is taking studies in it now so we’ll be forming a Montessori school for the first grade. Audience: Are going to have a newsletter. Adano: Yes we have a newsletter out, also we’ll have most of my lectures that are speeches will be printed up and circulated out, they will be available, those who want tapes we can make arrangements. See most of my talks are all the recorded on tape so most of it is like that right now they’re in the process of putting it together so we’re a young organization, it’s a non-profit organization, tax deductible but it took time to get it going on its own. Audience: Did I understand you the other day to say real meditation if a person does they can go without sleeping entirely? Adano: Yes you can but that takes a great deal of training. Audience: But what about the person who doesn’t manage to get into the meditative state, in the meantime we have to have the sleep. Adano: Then sleep. Audience: (Laughter) Well then how are you going to fill up this meditation time if you have to go get to it you know? Adano: This comes as a result over the years of inner awareness that the body automatically recycles itself so you go into a certain level where you shut down but you never become unconscious but you don’t have the mental conflicts of being unconscious, you know or when you’re conscious. That’s a particular level you have to go into and you’re in there and you appear to have all the symptoms of sleep but you are wide awake inside but you’re not wide awake and feeling tired when you get up. Most people go through and have a similar condition called insomnia, they are lying down and still awake, can’t relax or shut off, this is a gradual practice that the body will come to, it’s a natural thing. Audience: Will your school be for people who want to learn to meditate but don’t necessarily want to be instructed? Adano: Yes it will be for people who want to learn, we only said instructors because those are the ones you’re trying to get into the actual training which will be living there but we are providing for people who want to study meditation and so we are calling the place a spiritual garage where we can tune up your chakras. (Laughter). See some people come and they’re not firing too good. Okay. (Applause).
1971 October 9 - Origins
Adano71_10_09_1OriginsQ1RR - 4 The lecture today is East-West teachings or Science of the Soul in three parts. Well part one will deal with origin. It seems very strange that a Soul should have an origin, but in all the writings of the world we come first to the origin of man’s existence, man’s beingness, how this whole creation began, and what it’s all for. So Origin is our first lecture today. How would you like to sweeten the I-ness with some gin? Interesting. The origin, if you look into the Genesis first you see it states, “Come let us make man.” Somewhere out in consciousness, Beingness is making a statement, but not to itself, to some other being. “Us” is being used, the word “us.” “Come let us make man.” So before we were created somebody dreamed us up and dreaming us up they decided what we should look like. “In our own image.” So those two people, or three people, or four people, or four entities whoever they were or millions of entities that were deciding upon our origin, our shape and structure, laid it out very plain that we were supposed to look like them. And likeness, “Come let us make man in our own image and likeness, male and female.” There was no separation or segregation, it was totally stated equally, “created them,” and God breathed the breath of life into man and man became a living donkey. Interesting eh? Isn’t that what Brother Francis called his body, “brother donkey?” But man became a living Soul. So today being the Science of the Soul in three parts, we first establish our origin. So man does not have a soul, man is Soul. 8 Now let’s look at the Eastern thinkers and what they say about man in his origin. They say the divine Brahman breathed out the cosmos and infused it with Atman and gave Atman freedom to go and return. Well some words are being used that are not familiar to you and that is Brahman, Atman, and Jiva. Some of us may be familiar with it, but Brahman is not necessarily an entity sitting on a throne. Though sometime you may come across the word Bramha as an entity sitting on a throne, but Brahman, B-R-A-H-M-A-N, Brahman embodies a peculiar make up, Bra and Man. The word itself has Bra and Man in it. The second word Atman you find At and Man in it. Now in Sanskrit to think or any thinking organism is Manas. Let us look at the words and see some interesting things about it, how it ties in as to the origin. If we put a hyphen between the Bra and the Man, and the At and the Man, and the Man and the As. You know this As and At are peculiar verbs in relation to Man an entity? And in relation to God, Bra, the closest thing you can have to God is breath, Bra (exhaling sound), to breathe. So man, a thinking entity can only exist in reality via breath. 12 We say in the Genesis, “God breathed into Man breath of life and Man became a living Soul,” but God made Man in his own image. Brahman is the breath man and the image of God then for the Hindu is the eternal breath. We don’t see God in our own Genesis, but we know our association with God is via breath. The breath of life is the link. Now the breath of life links us back to our creator, the source of our origin. Atman, something has to be with it. Therefore Atman is referred to as Self or Soul. Bra, which is breath, is the infusion or the force that comes into man and we are patterned after that. Manas or mind, thinking, “as a man thinketh that is what he is.” AS a man thinketh, that is what he is, but in order to think we must breathe. There’s no way possible you can start the process of thinking without infusion of life force. Our origin as Soul is embedded within the principle of breath of life. Now all of us are sitting here, we have many plans, many involvements. One question, what is the most important thing to you as a human being, as Soul, right now? 14 What is the most important thing to you right now? Think clearly. No answers? Is it a new Cadillac? The next installment payment? Possibility of the baby being born? Nope, none of these things are the most important thing right now, but the most important thing right now is the next breath and if you don’t take it I think Mr. Reilly will have to cremate us or bury us because the place will be stank up. See? This is why we must establish our origin before we can really set out to rediscover our God-ness. God create us in His image. Now the image of God is locked up in the breath and we are familiar with air as a form of oxygen and different gases and within the oxygen and gasses we come down to recognize atoms as the building block of creation. So the atom is the true image of our cells (ourselves). We are made of the atom. Interesting. 16 Notice something peculiar with that word, AT-OM? Now in the book of John he gives an origin of man. “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word IS God and the Word was made flesh and dwelt in man” and the Word we know is either Amen or Hum with the Tibetans or the Hindus would say Om. They call it the sound current or audible life current that is constantly passing through the human being via the breath. In Hindu writings we see the word Om. In the Jewish writings we see Shalom. No difference, all meaning the same thing. You see in the word Amen. Yet we see the word AT-OM, atom. I am that vibratory sound, you and I both, that audible life current, Om. Yet AT means something with it, something focused upon it, something infusing it, something stimulating it, something driving it. 18 We are made in the image, the audible life current, Om, of the atom, and we are made in the likeness. That would have to be a stimulating, driving force, an intelligence behind it. A thinking power and it would have to coordinate. If you put this next to this, it requires some form of thinking or intelligence. To be AT the door or be AT the window or move this over there and put it AT the table. Anytime some action is involved to effect movement, intelligence is involved, and that is our likeness. We are mirrored in the pure likeness of consciousness. We are made in the pure image of the atom. The two acting as one is called Soul. Now we don’t have a Soul, consciousness and energy acting as one is Soul. We are Soul. 20 Soul, it’s a peculiar word. Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So? Ah So. What is the first expression of the baby when he’s born. Ahhhhh Soooooo? He lets out a wail as if “well at last I’m here, but what for?” Soul is a peculiar word and it carries peculiar feelings with it and, at times, we may tear ourcells down, persecute ourcells (ourselves), not realizing that the Soul is not involved in it, that something else is involved in the persecution, the tearing down. When we look at the word Soul we see four letters and if we look at the origin of ourselves, we see some interesting things. “No man sees God,” every scripture states that. They say God is spirit. Something spinning, vibrating, some power vibrating, holding this entire universe up. 22 Alright, here we have Spirit, S, for Soul, Spirit, Spiral, Spinning. A force that is spinning, spiraling, holding everything up. It’s not moving in a straight line, it’s spiraling. That means it’s ever expanding. There’s no end to a spiral. From the time it starts, it goes on to infinity, but it starts off at a point of oneness, but God, creating the Soul, created order, not disorder, because in the very statement, “Come let Us make man,” how is He going to make him. He specifies an order, image and likeness, in that order. First in the image and in the likeness. So we have order from the… Therefore order is the first law of existence. If this room is in disorder, sooner or later somebody is going to try to straighten it out. Subconsciously you start fixing the place up, putting some order to it. This is in an individualistic way. Yet if you look out across the mountain to the world, you will say God is a very disorderly man. Why? He put the river next to the trees, the trees next to the rocks, the rocks next to the fowl, the fowl is next to the house, the house is next to the grass, where is the order? He didn’t put all the corn on one side of the stream. He didn’t put all the wheat on one side of the stream. 24 Man comes along and plants one row of wheat, one row of corn, one row of cabbage, and so forth. So man is more orderly than God. Interesting that man would look out and see this. Yet how can we say this Creator is orderly? If we see this type of expression and inwardly we crave to change it and line it up. There are two types of order: Order as Soul by personal involvement. Order as God in total involvement. In His totality, the harmonious blend of everything, this homogenous blend of everything, is order. In individuality, in terms of relative use, individual locations, groupings, that is order. So in an individual life we set order by grouping things. In a cosmological way, all things are put together to flow as a homogenous whole. There is no chaos, it’s total order. But what is the order about? “U” in the SOUL, is universal. Order is universal, or united, between the individual and the Divinity, between man and the Creator. There is a unity, there is a bond. We are made in His image and likeness, therefore we are made in an integral unity. There can be no separation in that unity. If there’s a separation, it’s not from the point of God, it’s the point of consciousness in man. 26 So we have unity, or united, and finally we have “L” in the word SOUL. As I said the only thing that is important to all of us is that next breath, life. This universe is not a universe if there is no life in it. The whole universe is a living process. It’s all life. God is total life. Creation is life in action. Soul is the embodiment of that total-ness in miniature form in action, life. Man is the Spiritual Order of the United Life in action in a miniature form expressing divinity all the time called SOUL. This is your true origin. You are that spiritual order of united life in action. 28 The dead Soul… Is there such a thing? Yet some scriptures say when the Soul is dead they’ll be used as fuel for Satan’s ovens. What would a devil need to stoke his fire but dead Souls? He couldn’t use a living Soul, right? Interesting. How could he begin to take a living Soul, a vibrant expression of the Divinity, and start to use it? The Soul that is dead is not really in the sense of the word that it ceased to be in existence. The Soul that is dead is when disorder takes over and breaks up the unity of life between its existence and its origin. When we bring the discord, that’s where we go to our second part tonight. See, origin is first, then we see how the discord begins. One more aspect of the origin and that is the framework of the divine creation. There are two frameworks of divine creation existing which we take reference from. One: The Father, Son, Holy Spirit. This is a frame of reference we take our origin from. When I’m returning back to God, I’m going back to my Father and I need the Son as an intercessor. Now the Son is not with me therefore I need the Holy Comforter or Holy Spirit. Therefore from this frame of reference we have established how creation is supposed to be functioning. That is one frame of reference for our make-up. 30 And we say that this creative principle is involved in us in a threefold way, a Trinity in one, a three in one. So the Father is out there, the Son is out there, the Holy Spirit is out there, where is it in me now? What is the Father in me, what is the Son in me, and what is the Spirit in me? If I am made in the image and this is the frame of reference to which I must return to, then I must be able to line up myself with that frame of reference. I must find the Father in me, the Son in me, and the Holy Spirit in me. So we can refer to the Father, Son, Holy Spirit as the Macrocosm. Is that it, Macro-cosm, c-o-s-m? Macrocosm. In man, he would look at himself as Spirit, Mind, Body and that he will call Microcosm. Spirit is Father, Mind or intelligence is Son the redeeming factor, Body or Holy Spirit the movement, the action, the manifestation. 32 This is viewed from Christian thinking. Let’s see if Christian thinking has a conflict with Eastern thinking. There is no conflict. In Eastern thinking we see the same thing. The Father they call Sat, which means eternal, ever existing, ever new. The Son they call Chit, ever conscious, ever blissful. And the Holy Spirit they call, Ananda, eternal bliss. The frame of reference now for the Eastern mind is Sat, Chit, Ananda, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. 34 Now bringing it down in terms of the human being as an individual, the Eastern people went one step further. They went to what is called the integration of Spirit, Mind, and Body by using a word called Yoga. They did not alone want to have a frame of reference with God, they want to have now a link, a bond, a continuous flow, a unity, so they evolved out of the frame, Yoga. Let’s see if the Western world did not inherit Yoga. Master Jesus said, “Take my yoke upon thee, for it is light.” The word Yoga when translated is to yoke, to unite, or to be in union with. Interesting? So we don’t have millions of Yoga, there is only one, the unity, or the union between the Individual frame and the Cosmic frame, between the Soul and the Creator, the Origin. There has never been at anytime where Eastern thinking and Western thinking in conflict. They will all reconcile themselves right in their own writings. In the Origin especially they reconcile themselves. They’re saying the same thing. 36 In Paul’s writings, he mentioned a part of the divine Origin. He was in a place called the eighth Heaven or ninth Heaven. Anyone can remember what Heaven he was in? He was taken up in the eighth Heaven, right. So there must be someplace if he can identify it in the frame of Origin, then where would the Eastern mind come in now to compete with that? Let see if the Eastern mind can dream up a competitive state. The Creator, if He’s somewhere in His Heavens and Paul can get way up to the eighth one, there must be more or Paul would have said he didn’t get to all and Jesus said, “In my Father’s house there are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you. If it were not so I’d tell you.” So from the Western viewpoint, Heaven seems to have more places that the Soul can reach out and go to. Well let’s see if these places can be recognized from Eastern thinking and give us a sense of direction what they really represent. 38 We all are going to agree that God in his first Heaven is called, “Beingness.” Don’t we refer to Him as the Supreme Being and where would He reside? In his Supreme Beingness. That would be the supreme Heaven, Para Braham, beyond paradise, beyond desire. Beingness is the first Heaven, but Beingness alone is insufficient to describe the Heaven. Beingness acting on Beingness is truly the first Heaven or the highest Heaven. When viewed in terms of Sanskrit it would be called Sat, eternal, the unmanifest, because God in the unmanifest state is pure Being and is outside of vibratory creation. It is that Supreme Intelligence that permeates outside all forms of creation. Creation is an expression of His Beingness. 40 So the second Heaven down would involve something else, Beingness acting on Consciousness. That is God within creation and you recognize Him as the Son, the Christ Consciousness, the only begotten expression of Beingness, Consciousness. “None can come unto the Father but by me.” No monasic organism, that is no thinking organism or conscious organism, can achieve total Beingness except it passes through total Consciousness, which is the Christ Self, the only begotten expression of Beingness. So when we are returning back, we’re going back up the ladder and if Paul went up, we will see where he went up. I haven’t put the figures up so… The next level of Heaven, Consciousness acting on Consciousness. There in that state there is no time. In Consciousness acting on Consciousness it’s a timeless state. Hence it seems there is no ego, there is no Satan, there is no division, there is no adversary. The word Satan means adversary, opposition, no confrontations. In the Eastern writings they call that particular confrontation, Kal, the dark force. Viewing it from the souls view it only represents Time. Remember, the Creator is unmanifest in a timeless state. His first manifestation is the Christ principal, which would embody a timeless condition. 43 Now the next Heaven down would have to be Consciousness acting on Energy. Here we find time. We’re coming into the vibratory expression of the Creator, the opposition, the deviations, the breaking up of the unity. Here we find what you call Satan, or you call it Kal, or you call it the negative charges, because we’re entering an energy field. The next Heaven down is Energy acting on Energy. Here we find all types of time sequences and interplays of consciousness, expressions of ego, personal will, unfulfilled desires. 45 Last but not least, the next level down is Energy acting on Matter. We’re coming down to the last Heaven, Energy acting on Matter, but they say the Creator made a place below his Heavens where I guess he threw all the unwanted dead Souls. They call that place Hades or Hell. That would have to fit in the framework. Last, Matter acting on Matter. We can’t go any further because we’re in a state of… (writing on blackboard), but not in a state of… (writing on blackboard). We’re in a state of Held, but not in a state of Hell. It’s kind of ridiculous to think your Father would make a big furnace to put you in if you dis-behave. You would not do it to your own child, the Creator would not do that to His creation. We are bound, or held, in the finite form of matter. This is the Hell, this is the Hades, this is the condition of the last Heaven. It’s the first Heaven though as far as the Soul is concerned on his way back home. 47 Now I said there was an eighth, right? There is one Heaven, which is not a Heaven, it’s called Paradise, Purgatory. There’s got to be some way in between this whole framework and we will find it. Consciousness acting on Matter. Consciousness acting on Matter or so called purgatories for the Soul waiting to refine itself. So if we renumber them we will see now number three is there, four, five, six, seven, and lo and behold, that’s where Saul was. Do you see where Saul went in his Origin? He returned back to the Creator. “I rebuke you in your rejoicing for I live and die daily in the Christ.” Every day that incoming outgoing breath allowed him to experience Beingness acting on Consciousness until he was fully realized in it then he went up to the eighth heaven a fully realized man. 50 Do you see how he came down? Now it’s not out of the realm of comprehension because as science starts to explore the levels of creation, they’re going to encounter these levels. We’re not too far out from here yet, you know, in our development as far as science is concerned. In our researches, this is as far as we’ve got. Sooner or later as we get further into the extrasensory studies and as one psychic says, “You don’t want to open up Pandora Box and let all those wonderful Souls fly out too soon from Purgatory.” We’ll have more evidence coming forward of consciousness affecting us or influencing us apart from ourselves. The evidence will be forthcoming that there are other forms of consciousness that actually control or direct or influence in some way our existence. We have certain instances in the scriptures. The man that was obsessed or possessed by entities and when he came in front of the Master Jesus he said, “I know who Thou art, let us go.” The Master did not expose them, He said “depart” and they chose another cellular form to enter instead of a human form. They chose the swine. That’s another form of matter to impose their will therefore causing them to commit suicide. They all ran over the hill and died. As soon as we get more advanced in this Aquarian Age to comprehend consciousness affecting matter, we will understand now the true basis of the idea of Purgatory. It’s not a place to be punished. Thank you very much. (applause) 52 Yes. (Somebody asks a question that can’t be heard). That is involved in the lecture tonight, second lecture. See our first lecture today is called Origin. Our second lecture will be called Involvement or Karma. Why we were created. (Somebody asks: “I missed Beingness acting on Matter. Why is that not included?” Adano laughs) Because Beingness is already in Matter and Matter is Beingness so it doesn’t act on it no more. You see this is the relative play of the Creator’s dream because He is pure Beingness, Matter is already in a state of Being, but Matter doesn’t know that until Matter awakens from the dream. That’s why tonight’s lecture, which is called Involvement or Karma, and the third lecture would be Resurrection, Libration, or Awakening from the Dream. 54 (Somebody asks: “What is that word Jiva up there?”) Yes, that is a sneak preview of tonight’s lecture. Jiva is Soul individualized, but how does that get caught up in this tremendous play of the Origin and its purpose? So when we come to tonight’s lecture, it’s based on the involvement of Jiva. “Ah Gee, I wish I wasn’t here…” (laughter) Any other questions? Yes… (Somebody asks a question that can’t be heard) It will help us to comprehend what we have. You see, we have all the information in the scriptures here, but it is not laid out in explicit terms. See because the writers were more involved in the symbology. Yet if you read the Eastern writings… You see when I started out as a Catholic, I was involved in reading it from the Catholic viewpoint and the symbols did not register in my inner being and therefore I thought Christianity had nothing to offer me. So I went eastward in my heritage thinking I’d find something greater. I didn’t find anything greater. All I found that a lack of communication between the two symbols, that essentially they were saying the same thing. That Eastern thinking had already had the same frame of reference, their terminology, but because they evolved a practical discipline to test that framework, it gave them what we call the edge on Western thinking. 56 Now we have that same practical discipline in Western thinking if you take up the life of Jesus. He is a demonstration of that discipline because He mastered those disciplines to make it a living experience. That’s why he said, “I did not come to condemn or bring any new religion, I came to fulfill.” You see? He recognized the disciplines which you call yoga had to be applied to make that connection between Man and God. So reading the Eastern writings would help to give us a better understanding of what we have, but that is not enough, it’s the application. You see the emphasis in the East is not on conscious monitoring the Soul, the emphasis in the East is the Beingness of the Soul, which means you must get involved, you must start the process going in you. If you are consciously monitoring it, picking it apart, analyzing it, and try to calibrate it, and compare, then God will always seem as an experience way out in time in some remote region, never integrated with yourself and this has been the fault in Churchianity, not Christianity. Let’s clear that up, what’s Churchianity and Christianity. Christianity has never had a fault in itself. 58 Questions from the audience, “I notice you have roses there, can you explain the symbolism of the roses? Adano laughs… Answer: Ah. Yes, the rose is the symbol of prophecy and unfoldment and completion. It is above the lotus. The lotus is the symbol of purity and enlightenment, but anyone who has encountered any spiritual experience can vouch that the odor in that spiritual experience that they smell or do have, it’s the odor of roses. In the presence of any realized Master, the odor of the rose flows out. Paramahansa Yogananda had a chant in which he said this, “Heavenly Father permeate me with the odor of the rose.” That is better than Ban deodorant (laughter from the audience). Now I have a next preference for the rose because I live in Tyler Texas you know. It is the rose capital of the world. 1:00 Question from the audience, “The rose is also the symbol of love and I haven’t heard that word mentioned.” Answer: Yes, it is a symbol of the word Love, but if we don’t feel it, it’s only a word. Because God is Love, Beingness is Love. You see the total Beingness is Love, unmanifest, but nevertheless permeating everything and allowing everything to exist within itself. That’s why we use the word Love, we have to be conscious of a flow. (A moment of silence.) Answer your question? See it can’t be communicated by words no more. That’s why I said a Satsanga is an extrasensory experience too. Yes… Question from the audience, “Many times people wonder why Yogananda, who I call as Master, they feel that I am comparing him equal to Jesus. Can you show the relationship of Jesus as to Yogananda who was a realized Master?” Answer: In this country we have a statement that goes like this, “Any man can become the… something… of the United States of America?” The president? Alright, that’s an office. It’s the highest office this country has to offer any man or woman. 1:02 If president Abraham Lincoln signs into effect a law and president Nixon signs into effect a law, is there any difference when they sign that law into effect? Would the people not obey it and respect it? Isn’t that what we placed him there in the first place for? God, the Creator, has designed out of His creativeness a level of Beingness called the Christ level, Consciousness acting. That Beingness acting on Consciousness, “You see Me you see the Father.” When the ego or the self, the little self, achieves that level, therefore we can say any ego can achieve and become the Christ in this universe. Just as any man can become THE President of the United States of America, but their specific role and the time cycle when they come to do their work varies. Those who are around Jesus have recorded many of His works and His sayings and those who are around Yogananda will vouch for the very same things that occurred in their life. One girl had a conflict with herself and she wanted to know why only Master Jesus fed people and they’ve never heard of any Saint feeding other people out of thin air. So although she was studying at the retreat of Yogananda, deep down in her heart a miracle like that would satisfy her and remove the doubt that Yogananda was any less or more than Jesus, or Jesus was any less or more. 1:04 One day some foreign visitors came to visit the retreat and she happened to be the girl of the day in his office. While they were talking and waiting he said to her, “Sister please serve some carrot juice.” So she went to the refrigerator and looked inside. There are no carrots except there was a small container, about 4 ounces of carrot juice, not enough to serve 36 people. Came back and said, “Master, there is no carrot juice.” In a very nonchalant way he says, “I said please serve carrot juice.” Now what you and I would do if you were in that position? You’d hope to stretch it with some water or go round up all over the ashram looking for carrots and grind it, but there weren’t any. So she’s going to go along in her mind she says that maybe Master is a great hypnotist and he’s going to pull off the greatest hypnotic act now. So she’s playing the act. She takes 36 containers down, the glasses, put them in front of her and she’s imagining that she’s filling them with the… They were filled and the container still retained the same amount but in her mind she’s already gone into what she thought is a subjective hypnotic state so she’s seeing pouring through and she might even say she’s hallucinating it. Put back the balance into the refrigerator. Actually none was taken out so. Came with the tray, she’s going through the motions in her mind, serve them all, they all drank carrot juice, and she brought the tray back, put it on the kitchen sink, and went back to listen to the Master talk. In evening time when everybody ready to go home, they all went away, but to her surprise she’s got 36 glasses to wash especially when carrot juice stains them. It takes you a long time to scrub it out. You see? 1:06 Why? It could’ve been 1000 people, 5000 people, the idea behind it was to help that girl get past a mental block. Not so much the 1000 or 36 people that were fed. Even when Jesus did it, it was not so much because he wanted to feed that much people, there were some disciples in his own group of following, subconsciously wanted, because when he tell them to go and get bread they said they didn’t have enough money to buy enough bread for the group, showing their doubt or their lack of consciousness. You see? So he had to extend their awareness by performing it to satisfy them. The truth was same with the girl when he told her, “Go serve some carrot juice.” Now if the disciple, without question in thought, accepts the Master’s word, be he Hindu, Chinese, Jewish, or whatever he is. If you accept that word without one sense of doubt, instantaneously we have this realization. 1:08 We have an example like that. There was a Master called Babaji who lived in the mountains and there was a man who heard about him and he went looking for this Babaji. Eventually he did find Babaji with a few people and he said to him, “Alas I have found you Master. I’m glad I found you, would you initiate me, accept me as your student?” The Master looked at him and said… This is the first time they’re meeting you know. “I can’t accept you in your present condition.” So he says, “Master if you don’t accept me, I’ll kill myself. I jump over this mountain and kill myself.” You know what the Master said to him? “Jump!” Now if he doubted that this was Master Babaji sitting there and he jumped, he got no guarantee that that Master Babaji is going to help him, but he jumped without any doubt in his mind. The disciples around saw this was a pretty hard test for a man’s consciousness. Yet Babaji told them to bring the body back and they brought him back, he touched him and he says, “I have released you now from death. You are one of the immortal flock.” Instant resurrection, instant transformation of the cells became possible to that man. A Master would not do these things unless he’s helping the disciple across certain thought patterns and it’s not for show. It’s strictly the thought patterns that each one of us carry and we don’t know which one is going to block us when we are confronted with the Master’s answers. 1:10 Question from the audience: (Can’t hear) …subconscious, would you consider that as just underlying underneath consciousness or as inferior to consciousness? Answer: There is no inferior consciousness. Audience: Ok, then could you fit it in like a subconscious acting on the consciousness anywhere in those numbers you have there or (can’t hear)… consciousness acting on consciousness? Answer: No, the word “sub” was named to classify something that is not acting on the surface level of your mechanism, but you’re never going to be unconscious in no way, shape, or form. When you are sound asleep you can say that that portion of your brain is sub-conscience functioning because you’re not aware of the environment, but that doesn’t say you don’t dream or you don’t think or feel. The word “sub” is just used to indicate something not acting on the outer surface, but that doesn’t say it’s unaware. It cannot be unaware. Audience: In other words, it just another form of consciousness? Answer: No, it’s a rate of the wave within the brain structure. It’s a different rate. For instance, you have a radio. You ever seen the volume control and the switch, the variable condenser that turns this and finds the different stations? It’s actually… it’s only doing is that little unit in the back is like built out of a plate like that, that goes like this. Just the movement. Every time it shifts it’s a degree, some other wavelength comes in and one goes out, but that radio will pickup as long as that variable condenser turns. So equally true within the brain the pituitary gland is doing exactly that. Every time you shift by the idea programming which you implant into it, it will shift the level. So if you say now, “I want to sleep,” you’re telling the conscious part of your being to shutdown and allow the other part of being to come forward and if you want to stay awake, you still have to program the thing. For instance you want to get up at six o’clock in the morning or five o’clock so you’re going to set the alarm clock. Have you ever encountered the fact that you wake up five or six minutes before that alarm clock goes off, but this is just programming and shifting of the wavelength. It’s not unconscious, but you happen to be identified and feel safe in the conscious level of the wavelengths, the one on the surface areas in which you contact environment. You feel safer there. You feel like you have everything under your control. 1:13 Audience: But nevertheless they are separated by some wave. Are they not separated? The conscious, the unconscious, and the superconscious, different wavelengths? There is something different about each one? Answer: It’s the rate, their velocity that differentiates them. That’s all. It’s a different rate of speed. This object varies from this object by a different rate of vibration. Yet atoms are the basis of its existence. Now, between the two and my atomic base, it’s only the rate of vibration that differentiates me. Now, your body and my body are both made of 16 basic chemical elements plus a few trace elements. Yet, I’ve got chalk in my body, you’ve got chalk in your body, we may call it calcium. Your whole skeletal structure is nothing but chalk, but look at the rate of the chalk in my hand to the rate of the chalk in the skeletal structure. That particular frequency is the differentiation, but it’s still the same substance. Equally true in consciousness. There is no real difference, just their rates of vibration. That’s why no one is unconscious. 1:15 Now if you say Mr. Cayce was unconscious, how could he go back in time and take out from the inner consciousness? It’s not possible. He just shifted the rates of his brain to go into different levels. Those who ever knew him or saw him will vouch for this when they meet him, he is able to shift and it’s lining up with the rate. It’s a matter of shifting just like a car. You’re at neutral, it don’t go anyplace but if you shift to first it will only go that much, second then third, fourth, but it’s shifting. You don’t buy a new car because you want to go faster every time you want to change from 40 miles to 60 miles, you go and buy a new engine, you just shift. Equally true you don’t trade in the brain because you want to go from one level of experience of awareness to another. It’s a matter of shifting, but there are ways that we can shift that are detrimental to us and there are ways that we can shift that are constructive, or good to us. 1:17 Audience: What is your reason for why Mr. Cayce, for example, had this great gift with no training, no time, this incarnation, as against the Eastern people who spend great numbers of years acquiring the same gift. Answer: Mr. Cayce had to earn in previous lives everything he used in this life. There’s no something for nothing universe. It is something for something and to the level he came, the many lifeforms he lived, those were the times he had to put in to achieve it. One day each of us will be given the opportunity to express the total-ness of that awareness based upon the amount of efforts we put in in the previous lives. Maybe in the year 2500, you may pop out as an Edgar Cayce, but when you look back at this present period, how many lifetimes have gone in to gather your mind to pop out as that? Equally like Master Jesus or Buddha or all these men. They had to bring this along from behind. It’s not a gift, it is an accumulated effort, it’s an acquired effort. An effort that’s based on long dedication to divinity. So we don’t know where we are, let alone in this incarnation. Right around the turn of consciousness you can pop out in a month or two from now with the same consciousness because we don’t… So it’s not gift. It has to be based upon growth. So Mr. Cayce grew his and he would tell you that if he was here. 1:19 Audience: So could that be the reason for the church not teaching these basic truths? In fact, do we have to become aware of it without being taught it? Adano’s Answer: There was a very wise, foolish Pope who lived by the name of Irene. If you want to call him a woman or a man, I don’t know, but he was Pope Irene number one. He looked upon the people who were becoming Christians and said they were moving too slow to God. They were sitting down on their metaphysical CANS and not making any effort towards divinity so let’s get rid of all this nonsense of reincarnation, psychic development, and lets push them all like onward Christian’s moving on to God. He chopped the whole Bible up into sections and programmed the Catholic faith for one thing, “Let us get home now.” So the priest is not a monk. The Catholic faith is divided into two schools. The Apostolic end is the priest. His job is to go out, hit you on the head, and make you a Christian. The monk, his job is to hit his own head, and become a Christian. 1:20 Audience: Getting back to food. Many of the Saints would not eat physical food and sustain, would you please explain? Adano’s Answer: Well that would… That question should be in… coming up on tonight’s, but alright. Master Yogananda said this in his writings, “When the individual has reaped the largest harvest possible, called God, in his consciousness then he doesn’t have any need to eat or not to eat and eating is merely a formality to show the world that you’re human. Yet Saints do this primarily to help us to appreciate God in the form of matter, but the Saint, after realizing God and knowing that Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God. Not on an intellectual basis, on a realized, bio-physiological basis. It must be physiologically incorporated into his being that he can actually trap cosmic energy photosynthetically through the medulla and utilize it, then he can dispense of the use of that energy now in a physical way like bread or butter or cheese. So it is unimportant to him. 1:22 I’ll tell you this story about eating. There was a Swami in a house and some people didn’t know… even in India they don’t even know that Swamis don’t eat meat. So that goes to show you even where the origin of the Swami… He was sitting down and along came some friends, they brought food with the students, but they gave him a big chunk of meat, bread, and everything. Well he ate the meat and the bread and everything and all the disciples were looking around and one said to himself, “no wonder Master can walk so fast and so good in the sun. We are eating fruits and vegetables and here he is eating all that meat. No wonder he’s got so much pep and go. He’s getting all the protein.” So the Master read his thoughts. After it was all finished he turned to the boy and he says, “You know, tell me you think you can eat what I can eat?” Well naturally if you are in the presence of another human being how would you react? You’ve never seen a miracle, but here’s the first challenge, “can you eat what I can eat?” So the boy says, “Yes Master” “All right,” he says, “next time when we stop to eat, you eat what I eat. The rest of you boys, you eat your fruit and vegetables.” So they’re going along that day through the hot sun and the Indian sun is so hot you know. Eventually they arrive at a blacksmith shop and the blacksmith invited them for supper. So while the table is being prepared he told the blacksmith, he says, “these boys here eat only fruits and vegetables,” and then he walked over and he says, “I’ll give myself a little hors d’oeuvre of hot nails, a piece of charcoal,” you know, from the from the spit, and he kept eating and he says, and then he looked around and says, “hey, I thought you wanted to eat like me, come on,” and that cured him. Once you have realized God, it’s not what you eat or you don’t eat. This is why Jesus… We must not put ourselves in the place of Jesus right away by saying… because he says “what you eat will not defile you, but what you say comes out of you, that’ll defile you.” He is at a level where his consciousness is total in control with the divine law. Therefore he’s above that law, but he does not do that to impress us and we have to realize that he did not eat any of the substances until he came back from the grave. There is no mention that he ate meat before resurrection. There’s only one reference of him eating fish and honey after resurrection. Look it up. People come up with the idea that Jesus ate meat. There’s no evidence of before, it’s evidence after, and they can only point to that evidence after. You see? 1:25 Audience: Do you adhere to any particular diet? Adano’s Answer: The simplest one, it’s called Solar Nutrition. I try to obey the laws of nature. In the morning I eat fruits and nuts. In the middle of the day, I eat the vegetables that grow above the ground. At night I try to eat those that grow under the ground. Audience: Why? Adano’s Answers: Well, nature made them to grow in that sequence and if we gonna to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, why not eat it in the same sequence? I find it helps me better. I don’t know if other people… I remember meeting a monk in South Carolina and everyone asked him, “Are you a vegetarian?” He was a Catholic monk. He said, “Yes, but don’t ask me to explain why I’m a vegetarian.” He says, “because if you want a scientific dissertation, I will go into hours of it, the pros and the cons. If you want to know why I shouldn’t kill and eat a dead animal, I can go into the humanitarian act of it. The only reason why I’m a vegetarian and why I live a simple life is because it’s economical.” I guess we should be going. (Applause)
1971 October 9 - Involvement
Adano71_10_09_2InvolvementQ1RR - Host Introducing Adano: Although they are not sponsoring this particular series, however our speaker is well known to ARE members (Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment) and to many of our visitors. The Reverend Adano Christopher Ley was guest speaker for our series here concerning Eastern and Western teachings this past July and it was at this time that many of us learned to respect and love him. We’re so happy and honored to have him with us in our midst tonight. Reverend Ley is a native of British Guiana and of Chinese, Indian, Spanish, and Mongolian descent. He came to this country when he was 15 years old. He studied comparative religions, various Yogic techniques, meditation, and prayer techniques among the Indians of North and South America. He and his wife are founders and leaders of the All Faith Fellowship of Tyler, Texas. In October of 1969, Reverend Ley it was initiated into Swami-hood in the ancient order of the Saraswati. He was given the title and the name of Swami Nityananda Saraswati. It is my privilege to present him to you, Swami Nityananda Saraswati. (applause) Adano speaks: Thank you. As you know, for Swamis this is not a lecture. Most people they get together and lecture but for us it’s called Satsanga. Sat is truth, Sanga is fellowship with the truth. The reasons are: 1) We have a physical communication, 2) There’s a mental communication, and 3) There’s an extrasensory communication going on all at the same time. 0:02 Before we can actually go in to that type of understanding, we must calibrate our minds because the minds are restless before you got here you see? Trying to fight the freeway, red light: not possible, yellow light: to go or not to go, and go like hell (laughter). So to calibrate the mind is to center it here at the point between the eyebrows and let’s keep your consciousness there (short meditation). Thank you. Tonight our second lecture based upon the Science of the Soul. Our early one was called the Origin. I’ll call the second one Involvement. You may know it as the Law of Karma or you may also know it as “a man so that he reaps,” or an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, cause and effect, but getting down to the nitty-gritty, that’s what my name is, it’s Involvement. Why the Creator threw us into the big mess. It’s the big mess: Matter acting on Matter, Energy acting on Matter, Consciousness acting on Matter, Energy acting on Energy, Consciousness acting on Energy, Consciousness acting on Consciousness, Beingness acting on Consciousness, Beingness acting on Beingness. What a mess He threw us in. 0:04 I’ll let these people come in first… Lots of seats here in the front you know. It’ll save me from straining my throat. As I said, tonight’s lecture is called The Involvement. You know the word karma is so overworked and “as you sow you reap” that’s all overworked and then we find ourselves asking ourselves the question, “What it’s all about?” So it’s Involvement, the second phase of the Science of the Soul. Why we are thrown into creation. If you realize the Creator made Man last. He did not make him first. Think for one moment, if he made Man first, where would He put him? How would He sustain him? What would Man have to compare with? There would be no planetary systems, no plant life, no animal life, no form of sustenance. Man would be sitting on a beautiful throne called void. Interesting? But Man was made last. He was the last act of creation, putting you in a very unique position in the whole of creation, everything was made for you. So now how can you have karma if you were made last? This seems to be a contradictory question. If you were made last, how would you have karma? If you are made first, how can you have karma? But because we are made last, we were turned loose with free will to get involve with the creation. 0:08 Now we would never get involved if we were told to do as we please. The only way we going to get involved is when we are told not to do what we please. “Don’t eat the apple,” don’t do this, don’t do that. Most unique psychology devised by the Creative Intelligence to get His projection, Soul / Man, to be involved with His creation. Without the challenge, without the confrontation, without the anxiety, the tension, the pressures, there are no involvement. It is because of that the law of karma is valid. The involvement, the confrontation, the facing up to yourself, the organizing of life, trying to straighten out the divine mess. Putting order into a chaotic omni-directional universe, flowing in every direction. We want to set order to it. This is the great Divine Plan. Getting the Soul to get in there and straighten out. Put corn in one line, put squash in one line, put peas in one line, put all the pine trees in one line. You even may go ahead and call it the involvement of self pollution, but it is the essential part of the Soul’s growth, why It was designed, to be involved. If we think He designed us not to be involved, not to get strung out, in this marvelous plan of existence, it’s not true. 0:10 He knew His creation can only gain strength, can only achieve the triumph of renewal of Self, the complete realization of itself by being involved. The philosophy that tells you not to get involved, not to get trapped, tested, confrontation, is not a genuine philosophy. It’s the one that tells you go in there, find out for sure if you are truly Soul, if you can stand the pressure and work with the pressure and call on your Divine Creativity, the Divine Will, to surround you and face the obligations, you have the true philosophy. Then you have found that why the Creator made you. He made you to demonstrate the divinity of your nature while in action in His creation. The creation is not a place to idly lay away and fall asleep. It’s a place where we’re constantly tested to discover our divinity. We would not know if we have a divinity if we had no challenge, if we had no involvement, if we never made mistakes, and never tried to correct them. We would never know. 0:12 In the involvement or karma or action, one person said, “Masters come on this earth to take away our karma, to take away our sins” and another person says, “That ain’t true. To give your sins or your karma to the Master, that is karma. You really made karma then.” Who is right? They are both right. If you’re coming up the ladder and I’m standing here and I have compassion, I’ll reach down and pick you up. Now you may say, “Don’t reach down, I may pull you down” but I’d be stupid if I reach down and try to pull you up if I had nothing to hold onto. The Godman does not do that. He doesn’t just reach down and pick you up. He has, like a monkey, one arm on the next rung up and one arm down, but his body still got to go through gravity to reach down. Get in the dirt with you and pull you up. That’s the involvement for the Godman, but he does not let go of his divine link when he lives in the world with us. The personal manifestation of God in man is to show us the two-way connection. The inward bond to the spirit in one way and an outward compassion for the fellow man in the other way. Therefore the commandment that overcomes all types of involvement or karma, “Love ye one another. Love the Lord thy God with all your mind, heart, and soul, strength. Love your neighbor as yourself.” This resolves all the involvement. This resolve the conflicts. Without that type of resolution we would never make it, it’s not possible. 0:14 If strictly, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” would be the only way we could get involved then the question would come up: If Cain killed Abel, when is Able going to get a chance to kill Cain, right? But the Scripture says, “The voice of God called upon Cain and asked him where his brother is and Cain replied, ‘am I my brother’s keeper?’” Yes we are. Therefore they say the Lord made a statement that no one should take the law into their hands to destroy Cain and He put a mark on Cain. Well the question is this: Cain went out, Abel is dead, where is the justice? Does Cane go Cane free, no involvement, Abel is dead, no restitution? 0:16 Let’s look at some facts. Eve the mother states in the Involvement that she has a child of God and his name is Cain and she has a man-child and his name is Abel. The two persons are offering sacrifice to the deity. The child of God brings fruits and nuts like a good vegetarian and the child of man brings his lamb and the child of man’s sacrifice is accepted over the child of God and when the Creator is confronted by the choice He made by Cain, the creator tells Cain “If you do right thy brother will serve thee.” Now it was up to Cain to understand the commitment. He was considered a child of God by his mother and Abel was considered a child of man by the mother. Their sacrifice brought a point of decision between the Creative Intelligence and their emotions. Cain’s sacrifice was turned down and Abel’s was accepted. Abel challenges the decision. He’s told, “If you do right, your brother will serve thee.” Now, what right did he go out and do? Slay his brother? So how can his brother serve him, but doing right, if he obey the law of love and if he knew, as his mother knew, that he was truly a child of God and had nothing to fear, had nothing to be jealous or envy about, that his divine consciousness would flow through him when the time come for him to express his divinity, his brother, who is lesser evolved and had need of understanding would soon turn to him as his teacher. He wouldn’t go to his father and mother to learn the spiritual life. He would turn to his brother for the spiritual light, but the brother was in a haste so he threw away the one opportunity to lead the brother out of darkness therefore creating the great involvement, Karma. The first act of violence. The Creator would resolve many things for us, except when we hurt the feelings of another. We have to work this out ourselves. It’s true that involvement with two human beings that the karmic law is enforced. What you do to someone is coming back to you in some form. 0:20 Karma, we all know the word means action, and before we ever use it or hear of it or try to think of it, automatically the mind jumps to conclusion, “It’s the things that I did bad.” Never of the things that I did good and uh, immediately if I do bad things I have to punish myself, but how am I going to punish myself and how am I going to reward myself by looking at the very things I did, but there’s more to it than that. The Creator could not set us in motion into His creation without impressing upon our nature His divine power of free will or the power to choose. Now we were made last and creation was made first so in a sense creation is predetermined for our existence. Where we supposed to go to be involved and how are we to return back free from the involvement. 0:22 All right, let’s say for one moment, all the Souls are sitting near to Father God looking out through the great window of light and seeing the marvelous creation that is made out there in the void and He says to His Souls, His children, “You’re allowed to go out and play in this great creation, get involved. The only stipulation is this. That since you’re made in My image, you have 100% free will. I want you to go out now and test your divinity by allowing Me to retain 99% of that free will and you keep 1%, play the game of creation and come back and regain this 99%. Then you can go out without being affected by the creation the second time, but if you get involved and you get downheartened and you make wrong choices without realizing I am the Creator, I may have to send one of you out with total 100% free will to show you how to do it and come back.” Just picture it. We tell ourselves we have free will, free choice to get involved. Yes, we do have it. What percentage of it? We soon discover that when we get involved that we have a very small percentage of it because when we want to do anything, we seem to cry out, “God willing, God help me, thy will be done” and great Masters come on the Earth and they emphasize it, “It’s God’s will be done in the Involvement.” If it’s God’s will be done, and if it’s God creation, then God’s will and God’s creation is one great, giant predetermination, but it’s free will at the same time. Looks like a paradox, but it’s not. It’s the understanding of what makes it free will, predestination, acting as one, which is liberation. 0:24 The liberation is when you get involve. If you sit back on the fence and look at it as predestination and you look at it like a puppet on a fence waiting for Divine Will to intercede, it will remain as that, but when we become involved and we get into the fray… That is what Krishna told Arjuna: get in there, do your duty, pick up your bow, and face your obligation. Then you will know what is truly Divine Will, what truly is this whole creation all about. Not until that time and if you observe in your own personal life when you have all the crisis-es around you, all the problems that you’re involved with, not until you make that first step into action do you begin to see the way getting clear. Every way looks dark, there don’t seem to be any outlet, but the moment you become involved, the moment you take up the forward action, it starts taking care of itself. This is the true karma that we are talking about. This is the action we want to set in force… set in motion. This is the action that resolves itself by its own action. This is God. A God of life, a God of activity. A God that demands action upon action based upon love through the action. Only then do we free ourcells (ourselves) from the false concepts that we are being punished by a Creative Intelligence for our wrong actions. We aren’t punished, we are punishing ourcells (ourselves). We are freeman all, Lord of ourcells (ourselves) in the involvement only, not sitting on the fence, not idly wishing for it to happen, for someone to pluck us out. 0:26 When one plucks us out, we owe them a debt. When we pluck ourcells (ourselves) out, we owe God thanks for allowing us to discover the capacity within ourselves to pluck ourselves out of the action. Otherwise we don’t owe anything. We are Soul. We are the Divine Quality made to express right now in action but until we involve ourselves with the action we are not going to change. We are going to remain idly hoping for someone to lift us out, or sitting on the fence, twiddling our thumbs, and saying, “It can’t be helped. There’s nothing I can do.” So I throw up my hands in a fatalistic way, “Let it happen.” But until we get involved and to see the true course of what karma is and why karma is an actual law that compensates itself by Divine Love, we will not know it. We will hope, we will imagine, we’ll try to make all types of mental prognostications, or excuses. 0:28 Master Jesus threw one bombshell into our lap. They brought a blind man to Him one time and the blind man they ask, “Did his father sin or did he sin? Who sinned?” In other words, did the father karma got involved in this or the man’s own karma is involved in this? You know what He said? He said, “Neither.” That really rooked everybody because it cut loose all the false concepts pertaining to karma. It cut to the very root. That the Involvement, if there was no challenge, the Son of God acting through the body form would have no way to demonstrate Its divinity. He says, “This is unto the glory of God.” We must have the challenge, we must have the involvement, to face up, to call upon the greater self to confront the so called limited mind and its ways of trapping itself and getting involved and condemning itself. It is that love that reaches down for the first time that has no way to reward or punish. It’s the love that lifts us, regardless if we understand it or not, strictly for the glory of the Divinity in us. This is what karma really is. It is the action brought about that involves us with life that frees us from the very things we think life holds back us from. Until we get involved with it, we are not free. We can’t tear down something and patch it up and say, “I made a mistake. I hope this will compensate.” We have to get involved in the action to extend the boundary lines of love by making others see this love through our own actions. 0:30 Then we can say to that person, “You are free. I am free.” And within our Souls we are all free, free men all, lord of ourcells (ourselves). There is no freedom without the involvement and there is no karma until you get involved and if running away from one’s involvement is a happy heaven, it’s very sterile. It’s so sterile in fact, it gets boring. If we are afraid of the devils that we have created, then let us get involve and see if the devil will face us. The Hindu people, the Tibetan people, they call them the demons of the mind. When the student is going up in the inner realms and you know what the guide or the guru tells him? “Fight the demon.” In other words, if you’re in England you would say, “Get on your horse St. George and face your dragon.” See? We have all handed down in fairy tales, fables, and so forth, the right action, the right involvement with the consciousness. Face it. Yukteswar says, “Face your devils, they’ll cease to bother you.” Forget the past, it’s finished. Now is the time to take up the action. Now is the time to take up the gauntlet, work. Karma is seldom understood, either in Eastern countries or Western countries as the total involvement between Man and God. It was never really revealed as that total involvement until Krishna told Arjuna to take up the bow and fight. It was always looked upon as some excuse or some way to pass the buck. 0:32 There’s always some way to punish yourself or reward yourself, but until it was understood that it was the means that we got to be involved for our own salvation, for our own deliverance, we have to get involved with the love for Man and the divinity in Man, karma had no place as a real science, as a real law, to compensate us for our existence. We can understand it better. I’ll tell you a little story. There was two monks walking along, they came to a little brook and there was a woman standing and she wouldn’t cross over because she would wet her clothes. Two monks walk right up, one reached down, picked the woman up, took her across the brook, put her down, and kept on walking. The other monk looked at him and said, “How could you, how could you, our brother monk, a total renunciate, a spiritual person, do a think like that? Embrace the woman, handle her, put her down, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” This went on for two or three hours. The other monk just kept going. Eventually the monk turned to him and says, “You know brother. All I did is to lift the woman, take her across, place her there, but you are still carrying her.” (laughter) Now you see what the Involvement is? 0:34 A man shot a friend and the arrow is sticking out in the shoulder. The brother of the friend says, “That’s his karma, leave it there.” The man who shot him says, “No, if you break the arrow, he may die of blood poisoning.” Do you know what the man with the arrow sticking in his shoulder says? “Look please, get a knife and cut it out.” We see what the involvement is. We will argue, debate, as to what to do when we are faced with the crisis, but the commonsense is the only true action, is the only true karma there is. It’s the karma of self deliverance. You don’t have to burden the mind or pray night and day for that kind of conscious deliverance from something that we are supposed to get involved with. The Creator knew that when He placed us. The creative principle is a threefold principal. Earlier in the day I said, “We are a three fold function.” A coin has three sides, the top and the bottom, and the other side around it. Karma is understood in a two-way manner by eastern/western people, but seldom do they see the third way which is the true way out. They know it as punishment and reward or they know it as “what you do, you get back,” but they do not know it as the conscious total involvement that leads to self deliverance. It’s the first time it’s been emphasized, yet it has been with man all the time through the very acts that man performed that delivered man from his dilemma. 0:36 In your daily confrontations, in your daily involvements, crisises, that decision you make while on your two feet… As they say, “thinking on your two feet…” That’s why I love America so much. We think on our feet and we do it ourselves. The deliverance of “do it yourself” is the key to overcoming the karma. Any religion that don’t give you the opportunity to free yourself immediately, now, in consciousness, is holding you back. The Science of the Soul is not a new science. It is that particular process through which the soul gains its own deliverance by its own activities and Jesus was one “do it yourself” man, “pick up your cross and follow me.” You know? “And the things I do you do also and greater things you shall do,” no limitation. If Masters of Truth tell us the truth and we don’t recognize it, when are we going to recognize it? Are we still going to be shouting, “Come back and teach us?” I know if I was in that position I says, “teach yourself,” but I don’t think they would want to do that. They would love to come back to enlighten us on the truth, but the enlightenment would be again par example, par involvement. They would involve themselves, they would take on the humble garb of the body, fight the crucial problems. In fact they may eliminate the robe and the beard and the long hair and the sandal and take on the Ivy League suit and the briefcase. 0:38 So be prepared that when He comes now the image may not be the one you are accustomed to. The new image may bring a greater involvement. You see? Or He may take on that space suit when they land a man on some other planet, you know. This is what the involvement of the Soul entails. Every opportunity we are given to have an embodiment, not because we have unfulfilled desires that places us in that embodiment, should we fear or worry. We should take up the challenge where we are, in whatever form we are, and face it, thus delivering ourcells (ourselves). If a great Master can deliver himself from the humble environment of a manger, equally true any individual finding himself in the back streets or the ghettos or in the best homes, can still make that challenge and get through. It all involves self involvement and reliance on the divine will to work through you. We can’t turn loose of divine will and no Master does. Even every prayer they would utter or teach us, it is always “Thy will be done,” but they accept divine predestination as divine will in action. They don’t condemn it or look upon it as fatality. It is the way it was designed for us to test ourselves and the Creator knows that within His creation He has planted the seed of creativity for self deliverance if the creation would accept it. 0:40 Within our Soul nature, the likeness of the Creator is implanted. Therefore He’s the greatest optimist. He cannot destroy His creation and He cannot destroy His Devils, so He allows His creation to gain victory over the devils. If we say God created Satan, then why does He not destroy Satan? Love does not destroy love. Can the owner of the store get rid of the manager of the store who may act as a sort of a dictator in the store? Even when his son goes down there, a 10 year old kid that’s going to inherit it? That 10 year old kid eventually going to say to the manager one day, “I fire you,” but that’s his prerogative and the dad is not going to intercede either. Equally true the Christ Intelligence emanating from the divinity is like that. When the Soul gains that awareness, It can say to the lower nature that opposes its journey, “I fire you now, I am free from you. I no longer get involved with you. I know all your ruses and all your tricks. I can see through you for the first time.” What are we saying to ourcells (ourselves)? Because we are involved with life, our creativity, our intelligence, our divinity, starts to flow for us to see the ridiculousness and the stupidities at times of being involved with things that really tend to tear us down. We wake up. 0:42 Some people pray for us to wake up faster than we do, you know? One woman prays for her husband to wake up and one husband prays for the wife to wake up and it goes on night and day, praying for the other person to wake up and when we wake up, we are waking up into the involvement of our own personal deliverance. We are taking ourself into harness. We are uniting ourcells (ourselves) or yoking ourcells (ourselves) to the Divinity. So karma, again, should not be looked upon as punishment / reward process. It should not be looked upon as means of avoiding the issues. It is that one true action that deliver us by love while in the action through our own nature and creativity. That is how we must look at karma all the time and remember the story of that monk, “I put her down, you’re still carrying her.” It is that you have to keep in mind, that an action performed out of love that delivers you at the same time from a self criticism or self tearing down, self punishment, is an action that has value. It’s an action that extends its boundaries into every form of life. This is the karma we’re talking about. Let’s look at one action of Karma involving the Master Jesus. When on the cross He said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” But He didn’t say, “Father, forget them for they know not what they’re doing.” 0:44 To forgive is Godlike. The fellowship between Man and God is forgiveness. The fellowship between Man and Man when we hurt each other is forgetfulness. How can we forget between Man and Man? He gives us a way out in a very dynamic action of involvement, “Confess your faults to each other.” In other words, show and accept your frailties as human beings. When you hurt each other, recognize that you are human beings. We’re liable to make these mistakes. We are liable to be involved in such an action and by confessing our faults to one another… He doesn’t say confess your faults to God, confess them to one another, look at each other, face each other. This is where the involvement of Man comes in. This is where the karmic action of deliverance comes in. We can reconcile ourcells (ourselves) by facing each other and God does not condemn us. Therefore we are already forgiven in God. It is our human counterpart that condemns us. Therefore Peter asked his Master, “How many times one should forgive his fellow man?” Master replied to him by saying, “Seventy times seven.” That’s 490 attempts and walk the extra mile before sundown. That would indicate you have to get this confrontation over within 24 hours. 0:46 Now, here we see true deliverance in the law of action, not waiting for some Divinity to compensate or correct or reward. If we are Divinity in action and if we are facing Divinity as our counterparts, then by the involvement with each other we can resolve and deliver ourselves from our mistakes. Thank you. (Applause). Adano: Questions? Five-minute break, ok. Adano: Now is that critical moment when you find out or you don’t find out: Question and answers. Yes? Audience: One word that you didn’t mention at all tonight and I know that Cayce doesn’t like when people ask him to define that word… Adano: What word? Audience: And that is the word Grace. Because in your definition of Karma, I think that covers Grace very nicely too. Adano: Well, can I borrow your pencil for a second? (Adano throws the pencil up in the air and lets it fall.) What law is that? Predestination. (Adano throws the pencil up in the air and catches it.) What law is that? Intercession. Now you call it gravity or you call it predestination, you call it grace, or intercession, or you may call it divine abortion. (Laughter). When the satellite was going up, they aborted, that was grace for those astronauts. The word may seem very loose, but intent is that sometime an action that may be detrimental to one’s own beingness, can be interfered by another consciousness acting upon it for your own well-being. This is Grace. So we should be thankful when it happens. Audience: Would you mind saying who that other consciousness is? Adano: God. Audience: As an anthropomorphic being? Adano: No. Don’t let us kill ourcells (ourselves) that we are so unique going through this marvelous framework of existence that the Creative Intelligence has not implanted other beings with total hundred percent free will to act upon the Creation. Sheep have shepherds to take care of them. Souls going through the Creative Light have elder brothers on the path who watches over us. They are called the Saints or God Realized Men or the Masters. They’ve walked the path before. 0:50 The poet once put it this way. “Lives of great men all remind us we should make our lives sublime, going on ahead of us leaving footprints on the sands of time.” Before we can recognize our own present incarnation, and our present involvement, there are many who have walked the path ahead of us with a total dedication to that brotherly love, “I am my brother’s keeper.” Audience: What percentage would be the elder brother, what percentage would be… presuming you knew the creative force, God? Adano: What percentage of them exist? Audience: No no, my question was is who would be the intelligence or what would be the intelligence that would intercede in karma? You said God and then you went about explaining “Godmen.” Now do you mean God or do you mean the men that you just talked about? Adano: God is not a person. He’s the Unmanifest Conscious Love. Now for that Unmanifest Conscious Love to intercede in your life it has to flow through a form. That is a Godman. Now that Godman has a name in all religions of the world. They are called Godparents. Well let me go one step further. When we are christened in a church, we say that we should have somebody to act as a godparent for the child. It was not devised strictly just as a means to pass the buck from the parent to some other individual. 0:52 Baptism is truly initiation, but because in the early Christian days due to the various conflicts, persecution, many of the children of the early Christians died from diseases and so forth and they felt that these children were not getting some inner upliftment so they went ahead and started baptism at an early age and a commitment to some individual with divinity awakened in him to take care of that child to see when it reaches a certain age it would impart the knowledge. Now we don’t have that type of behavior here because we seem to outgrow it in a Churchianity way, not in a Christianity way. We have that type of behavior in the Eastern countries, the Guru Disciple relationship. The Guru is the Godparent. He intercedes, He supervise, the journey of the Soul back to God. Now Christian thought has the Guru Disciple relationship, Master Jesus and his disciples. Now there’s a difference between Christianity and Churchianity. Christianity, when you come face-to-face with its true workings, you are in the divine light of the godparent or Master Consciousness. When you truly meditate, you are under that protection. Every action is superseded or guided by that light. In the Eastern country it’s the same. Therefore many people would travel miles to go to see a Master or a Realized Man just to get that blessing or that particular current of contact, so that intercession is made from that dimension. Now the Godman will never say He is God. The person meeting him will have an experience within his own consciousness and he would recognize that there’s a certain force or quality passing through. 0:54 That quality is love which he cannot begin to encompass and that love he would begin to relate it as a Divinity in everything. Eastern experience calls that Cosmic Consciousness or Samadhi. In the Christian church it was called illumination, enlightenment. When the Enlightenment occurs in us, we know beyond all doubt, that the path is paved by other intelligences supervising us. When Buddha was in the body they ask Him, “Are you the only Buddha?” You know what was His reply? He said, “No, 27 are taking care of me.” Interesting, 27 are taking care of me. Meaning this, there will always be God realized men in the world among us. We are all drawn to the Divine Source and we are committed. Jesus used this term, “The sheep knows the shepherd and the shepherd knows the sheep.” The shepherd is a God realized person already. He’s shepherding us. He’s supervising us. He’s the elder brother. He has gained the Cosmic Light, the true illumination. He understands this whole process of creation. He may exist before our birth or during our birth or during our whole total existence. He may exist long before we ever came and we have a commitment to Him. It’s never broken because we are assigned to Him. 0:56 In the case of a great Saint by the name of Babaji. He had a disciple that lived around 1900, 18-1900. His name was Lahiri. This disciple did not know who was guiding his life. Many things occurred in his life and he gave credit to God and one day, when he encountered Babaji, Babaji said to him, “You are my disciple. You have always been by disciple. Though you went away into many incarnations, I still followed you like a mother hen. I still took care of you. Till now you’re an engineer and a married man and this is the age I need you that you can help people who are married to give them consolation that they are not left abandoned in the world of consciousness or manifestation. So go out back into the world, don’t retreat, live your earthly life, but teach the art of meditation.” Now this bond is so great, the Guru-Disciple relationship, the Master-Disciple relationship. This is where the grace comes from, a relationship with a Master. Master Jesus gave that bond before He died. He made that pledge, “As many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become Sons of God.” As many who turn in consciousness to the Christ, their life are supervised, monitored, directed, nurtured, by that Master Consciousness. We are never left alone. 0:58 Now He said, “You see Me, you see the Father.” The mere memory of His existence in a form is sufficient enough to warrant drawing the grace from Him. That’s enough… Audience: I accept what you’re saying totally. Adano: Alright. Audience: But there’s a great deal said about grace and there’s one point I would like to clarify. You’re implying that grace in this case might come through, to use a very loose term, a Master. Now, the question that comes to my mind is then the Master’s obviously using what is called divine wisdom, energy, and so on in application for your grace. Is this divine intelligence functioning in a tutorial manner saying, “All right, give him some grace then,” or is it in a different law that the Master had learned to use? Then, if it is, then my prayer should not be so much to this indifferent intelligence, as it is my attempting to live the way that the Teacher, Master, Guru, whatever would like. Am I wrong or right? Adano: “As a man sow, that he reaps.” This is going to shock you now. The grace that you are receiving, you already planted to receive it back from yourself, but the pruning of the grace in order for you to receive it in time, comes by the intercession of the gardener who’s looking after the plants in the garden. That is to say Godmen, who can see into the totality of life, can see when grace is needed to be speeded up in each individual life and They, in turn, help to speed it up, but you have planted it yourself. 1:00 You’re planting and reaping exactly what you planted. If you planted goodness at one moment when you were very angry, though you may get anger back in some form, goodness will come in to. If you hurt somebody and there’s a little compassion for that person inside, a hurt will come back to you in some form, but a compassion will come back again because it has to balance itself out. Grace will come back in terms of action, you see? If you hit somebody, then afterwards you have remorse of hitting that person, you said, “gee whiz, I should make up but I don’t feel to go make up with him now,” but you have remorse. Karma or the action is set up, but at the same time the next action is set up, the compensation is set up, because the remorse. Now if he was to come back and hit you because you’ve already set up in your own thoughts some compensation, if he was really going to kill you, when you confront him and get involved you may get in a scuffle but then it may not harm you, something will come or you may be drawn away from that area where there’s no confrontation. Something will start to lock in. The very built-in law of compensation will start to work in your life to avoid a final conflict. Now, Realized Masters can see this. They don’t like to get involved with people and then be blamed unless there is a commitment. 1:02 Now, each one of us has a link to God via some Godman. We don’t know it until we encounter it. When we encounter it, then we realize that is what is happening and is happening all the time. Now, we do something and we’re going to face the consequences of it. Then a God Realized Soul who knows the consequences can lead to detrimental action, detrimental results, but there have been certain compensations, certain inner reactions between both parties, then the God Realized Man can shift the wavelength that both of you face each other with an involvement that does not climax itself in fatality. Now, in your own heart and mind you say “Thank God, it could’ve been worse.” As you grow up in spirituality and you face that Godman in the inner life, you may meet im on the inner life or you may meet Him in a physical way and He will recognize you and you may recognize Him or you may get a dream about Him or a vision about Him, and HeH may impart that information to you. Then you suddenly realize, “Hey, wait a minute, what goes on? How is this world run? Who is running this world?” You may say that Godman is an angel, but He doesn’t have wings and the scripture says, “The angels minister to man to carry out God’s grace.” That’s another way the scriptures write it, but if you’re looking at it from every angle, we are not left alone. There is an intercessory force and there’s an intelligent force, or entity, at work. Not a Being sitting on a throne directing. 1:04 Audience: Would not a better a better definition of this action be the modification of karma rather than grace? Which the dictionary defines as an unmerited gift from God. Adano: Stealing my cue… I never liked to use the word modification because they always accuse me, “that’s Adano’s words.” For years I’ve always said, “grace is modification of karma.” You know, the Catholic Church teaches an id (idea) goes like this. “I believe in the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, and the life eternal.” Let us look at it objectively from the Eastern view and from modern thinking. As a Soul, we should believe in the communication with highly evolved Beings, Master Souls, Godmen. A two way communication does exist. This is not imaginary, it does exist. The Godman, in total awareness, exists in the three dimensions: the physical, the astral, the causal, and you can have a two-way communication with Him. Secondly, to believe in the forgiveness of sins. That is to say, you can accept the capacity to modify your own thought patterns and your repercussions of your thought patterns by involving yourself, taking up your cross, and acting it out, working it through. Grace is the triggering agent of voluntary action of the individual to deliver himself from his own personal commitments. Would that satisfy you now as Grace? That voluntary action that delivers you from the commitments which you’re involved with? Audience: Thanks very much. 1:06 Adano: Alright, but life everlasting is the last part that they say. It is not enough to have Grace of God. There’s more to that, we must have mercy because it’s the mercy and the compassionate nature that enhances the value of Grace or Grace has no value, it’s just an act of intercession. Without the compassionate nature, without the sense of mercy or the feeling of humility embodied in us, Grace would not have it’s true value. So, life eternal is that tremendous compassionate principle that allows us to experience constant oneness with God through His compassionate nature. To this end comes Ascension which goes beyond Resurrection because Ascension is that eternal life where Man is totally identified with the God Body that cast no shadow, leave no footprint, it’s flesh and blood, materialize and dematerialize at will, and has the odor of roses around it and it lives directly by Cosmic light. Yet it can crystallize by any devotional heart who wants to communicate with it. 1:08 So we come back to the very first statement, “I believe in the communion of Saints.” So the two resolve themselves. Eternal life is necessary for communion. Involvement is necessary for forgiveness. Ascension is necessary for reconciliation. Adano: Yes. Audience: Is it possible that these God-like men could return to the earth in fiery chariots such as flying saucers or something like this? Adano: Well, if they need a flying saucer to come back to impress us, I don’t think they are that realized. Audience: Do you rule these things completely out? Adano: No, I don’t rule out the existence of life in all parts of the universe and in various forms and manifestations, no. When I’m talking of a realized Man or a truly God-man, I am talking of that Being who has achieved here (taps the blackboard) in the framework of the reference with God because we will see one such God-man. His name is Samuel. He had a student, a very unruly king, called Saul who got into the blues and needed little David to play on the harp to soothe his savage nature and when Saul was dead and gone on to another realm… no, when Samuel was dead in fact and gone on to another realm, Saul could not make communication with Him. He could not meditate no more and even see the God-man inside. 1:10 So what did he do? He went and look for a medium by the name of the Witch of Endor and under disguise, wearing a cloak, he pretended to be somebody in need. Well the witch, or the medium / psychic, drummed up that consciousness called Samuel. You know what Samuel told him? He exposed him and tell him “don’t call me back here.” A true God-man does not need the intercession of a medium to instruct His disciple or His commitments. He, of His own nature, has the power to come back and do it. This is true when Jesus came into the room after resurrection. When Thomas was told that they saw the Master. He says, “I don’t believe, I have to see Him in flesh and blood. I have to have the conviction that truly is that what you are talking about.” The Master materialized in the room. He didn’t use any medium to communicate His presence, He materialized in the room to convince Thomas and put him to the test, “Come touch. This is flesh and blood.” Then He left. Now He doesn’t need a fiery chariot to make that confrontation with us. What it needs is our devotion to lock into Him. 1:12 Yogananda, when he was writing the scriptural interpretation of the Christian bible, said one night he wanted to have the complete truth and understanding of the life of Jesus so he prayed that Jesus would appear to him and give him that complete information of His life. Now if Yogananda needed a medium or some other entity or intercessory, there were many, but in his experience, the Master Jesus appeared to him and the Master Jesus gave him communion, Holy Communion, the two men drank from the Holy Chalice. It was a living experience between two Masters, one in the body and one out of the body. Now we cannot say that Jesus is sticking around in some little backyard. He’s in the whole Cosmos in any way, every form of life. Yet the devotional nature is so strong in the man Yogananda to draw Him down. Equally true in the life of Ramakrishna. When the people in India said, “You have studied every religion, but you’ve never studied Christianity. What do you know of Christianity?” He says, “Then if I don’t know it, I’ll study it until I meet the founder of it.” And in seven days he studied Christianity and Jesus came to him on the river The Ganges and they spoke and embraced each other and you know what he called himself after? Rama-Krishna. God-Christ. But he had a living experience with Jesus and he described Jesus to his disciples. His main disciple was Swami Vivekananda, that came to this country and he said the same thing. When you wanted to know if the Master Jesus was a living man in the true sense of God realization, he prayed and had the experience. So to say that someone has to come from some outer realm with some vehicle to convince us of their divinity, it’s not necessary. We’re talking of a different type of Divinity. 1:14 Adano: Yes. Audience: Would you call Jesus, “The Master of Masters?” Adano: A Master of Masters is a term in Sanskrit called “Avatara.” In Hebrew it is called Emanuel or Messiah. The word Emanuel means “God in man,” “God is with us,” the descent of the Spirit into flesh. In Sanskrit it is called Avatara. Jesus was an Avatar. That does not say He was the only Avatar. Avatara state is a state man attains too. As I said earlier today every individual in this country can become the President of the United States if he’s elected. Every Soul in this room can become God realized if he generates enough devotion and we can all walk out of the room Christ realized. Now your Christ realization would be no more or less than the one that Jesus embodied. It is a state of consciousness. Is the Divine Presence made manifest in form. We cannot look upon it as a personality because it would be a contradiction to His own words, “The things I do, you shall do you also, but not greater than me” would be the true statement that He’s the only Son of God, but He did not say that. “The things I do, you shall do, and greater things shall you do.” Now if you’re gonna do greater, this puts the… right where we know where Jesus is talking now. If He wants to say somebody is going to do greater things than Him, then He’s not inferring that He’s the only Son of God, right? 1:16 Audience: The reading states that Jesus was the first to make His will one with the Father. Would you comment on that? Adano: The man Jesus or the Christ Consciousness? The Christ Consciousness is always the first manifestation of the Divine Will in action and it cannot be broken. It is the link between the unmanifest God-love and the manifest God as conscious love in action. The human form, or ego, ascending into that state and realizing its totality becomes an embodiment within any particular cycle, age, or ethic group, for the upliftment of the ethnic group, that age, and time. That individual is the light of the world while He’s in the world and those who gather around Him are lifted up in that Light, but when He goes on, His followers becomes the light of the world when they realize the totality of it themselves. They too must pickup and express it. They have to gain their own Divinity. What would He come just to exhibit His Divinity and leave us? That would be quite a hoax to play on humanity. To say, “I’m the only individual and I’m greater than all you. Here, I’m going to perform some miracles and take off and leave you.” Better you never came. 1:18 If you come to lift us up and in your own words you are lifting up us to your own level, then He’s truly manifesting God Consciousness, manifesting the Divine Son in form. “The things I do you do also and greater things you shall do.” The student should be as the Master, but call no man Master save the Lord which is in you. It is that realization we are talking about. Audience: If we referred to the mind as various… let’s say a kingdom… Then aren’t there are various kingdoms that one can obtain such as, I think the Yogis talk of nirvana, reaching total nirvana or something of this nature? I mean, don’t you more or less have to go through this more or less as a mere play and work your way up? In other words, how is a man supposed to know when he has reached the total concept of God consciousness, objective and subjective consciousness. Adano: He who says that he’s a Master, he’s not, and he who says he’s not a Master, he’s not, but he who says that they call Him Master, He is. Audience: That’s kinda heavy for a (can’t be heard over the audience’s laughter)… 1:20 Adano: What is the kingdom that we are so embroiled in? You know they say in the East, “When the student is ready, a Master will be there.” When I was starting out on the path, I asked myself “What constitutes readiness of a student?” and after many years, Master Yogananda says, “Total frustration.” Audience: (Laughter) Adano: So I says then, “What constitutes a Master?” He says, “The ability to free yourself from your frustration.” Then he says, “You are your own Master and you’re your own disciple, what you want?” And that was a letter I had from Him. Audience: The primary one reason why I ask this was that, let’s say mind control, complete mind control, complete tapping of consciousness let’s say, people are able to strange things with their minds. They’re able to, let’s say their leg was all of a sudden severed from their body and they can stop the bleeding and prevent, you know, dying as a result of the bleeding. Well if this is the case then, I mean, we can’t all do this and I know there must be some more to this point. If this is the case then, I know you would know if you were there. Let me ask you this? Are you there? Are you to this point? Can this be obtained? This is the thing I want to know. Adano: When an ordinary man gains knowledge, He’s called a Sage, but when a Sage gains understanding, He’s an ordinary man. Audience: Repeat that please? Adano: When an ordinary man… When an ordinary man gains knowledge, He’s a Sage, but when a Sage gains understanding, He’s an ordinary man. Another Audience Member: What you’re saying I think is that anyone who knows what’s going on does not want to be conspicuous. Adano: Right. Audience: (Laughter.) Could you repeat that? 1:23 Adano: He’s saying that who knows what is going on would not want to be conspicuous. True Mastery is not exhibitionism. It is only involving those that we are committed to to lift up to the next level of awareness. There were two associations in the time of the Jesus and all the Masters of Truth. With the public there is one type of association, a sharing of the laws of life and how to live them. With the initiate, or the disciple, it is a sharing of the intricacies of the Divine Consciousness, how to experience them. Audience: Is there any karma which is not modifiable by anyone. Adano: Yes. Audience: The death of another person? Adano: No. He who refuse to accept himself as the Divine I Am is not modifiable in no way, shape, or form. He who refuses to accept himself as the Divine I Am cannot be modified in any way, shape, or form. The moment you refuse, you have cut yourself off from your Divinity. I Am that I Am was the confrontation Moses got when he was up in Mount Sinai. Now, had he argued with this confrontation, would he pick up the gauntlet or the staff and go tackle Pharaoh and his group? 1:25 Because he did not refuse. Remember he asked the Lord in Inner Consciousness, “What is your name? How can I go and tell these people that You are sending me, commissioning me, to go down and help them?” But that same Divine Intelligence told him, “My name is I Am that I Am. You go tell them that and let them accept it.” He’s not going to change. It is the matter of maturing in our awareness to the I Am-ness and as long as we don’t realize that is what we’re maturing to, we’re going to question, see? But as soon as we mature into it, we realize that it’s the only thing we cannot modify or change. I give you a little experience. One time I was meditating so in my meditation I asked the Creative Intelligence why all pain, suffering, why people are going through all this thing. Is there no way to change it, no way to help them? This compassionate nature want to reach out to lift them up. The Intelligence came back and said this, “If you think you are so smart, what I have made, you try and change it. It is perfect until it learns to deliver itself.” That is to say a child when born is perfect, you can’t expect it to talk right away or get up and walk and take care of itself. A grown person is perfect the way they are with all their bickerings, and anxieties, and frustrations, perfect, because they’re involved, they’re working it out. The dead man is perfect because he’s involved in that action: the breaking down, the changing, the transforming. Everything is perfect as it is. 1:27 Audience: Then the rejection, the absolute rejection would be what would lead to the Christian concept of hell… Adano: Yes, this is the Christian view of denial of God. You see, why did Jesus call Judas, “Woe unto the man he had not been born that would deny the Son of God.” That was denying his own Christ self, you see? Allegorically or metaphysically speaking, He was confronting Judas with the thought, “Don’t deny your Divinity.” Though He, Jesus, is embodied in that Divinity, in that full awareness, He was well aware that this individual would make that mistake in the spiritual life and deny his own true Divinity. Now when one does that, one has only one alternative because he becomes dogmatic and the alternative is to annihilate oneself. So it was obvious that Judas would have had to commit suicide after he had made the mistake. He was warned not to make the mistake, but he was not aware of the depth that Jesus was talking about because he didn’t grow enough in the spiritual light. So he made the obvious physical gesture of committing suicide, but in doing it he also chose the largest tree in the middle of the road to let the world see it. He could have done it in seclusion, you see? Even up to that point, he could not break through. 1:29 Audience: In your opinion, suicide meant to be literal or interpretative? Is there something greater than the literal story there? Adano: Judas is in the Master’s lap you know. Don’t… because he commit suicide and he denied the Christ in Jesus that didn’t say that Jesus condemned him or kicked him off like an unwanted child. That was the process of the psychological make-up that the Soul had to work through going from rejection to dogmatism to self annihilation in order to gain redemption. A musician can tell a child playing a certain instrument, the way he plays it, what would be the progression of growth of that child’s musicality and he can say, “If you don’t go this way you’re going to play pretty lousy in a couple of weeks. Your hands are going to be sore.” The child may say, “Oh, you don’t know what you’re talking about.” As soon as he finds out that he’s playing lousy because certain patterns are already recognized. A Realized Master recognize certain behavioral patterns and their symptoms and their results, long before He comes in to confront the student because He would have to live through them Himself. When I asked I said, “What constitute readiness of a student?” I was told, “Total frustration.” Now when I use the term total frustration don’t think I was never faced with the thought of self destruction. Every human being is faced with the thought because frustration encompasses all levels of action. It’s all blind alleys. All the IDs (ideas) that you can think up and you run into a blind alley and you can’t get out so you don’t want to get involved so sooner or later you’re going to think of destruction, but that is not the solution. The solution is mastery of your frustrations. That is a process you have to work out. I hope I’m not going beyond my time. Five more minutes? Alright. 1:31 Audience: When one begins to meditate seriously, how long, how many minutes or hours a day do you consider serious meditation? Adano: Well there is so many answers you know to how long, how many hours, where, when, and what to be doing that we never get down to the action of meditating. Mr. Churchill was the greatest meditator next to the cat, they both knew the art of cat napping. Meditation is that ability to put to rest the sensory motor functions first, that it will recycle and become more vibrant and finally to put the organic functions to rest that the transformation occurs within us to give us a glimpse of the Divinity within ourcells (ourselves). Mr. Spock would say, “in Vulcan where I come from rest means to conserve my energy.” He might as well be saying this is true of meditation, it’s a conservation of energy and a recycling of it in the human body, but at the same time it’s a lining up of the Divinity in yourself. Mr. Lynn, who was a student of Yogananda, owned a large corporation and never went to work until 12 in the day so all his business associates would say, “How come you come so late. Don’t you have no respect for the business?”
1971 October 9 - Resurrection
Adano71_10_09_3ResurrectionQ1RR - Introduction: … this country when he was 15. He studied in the Catholic priesthood for a good period of time after which he chose the path of his father, the Eastern way. He has studied comparative religions and has reconciled the Eastern and the Western paths. He spent many years living and studying with American Indian tribes and participated in many of their healing ceremonies. The Reverend Ley has the All Faith Fellowship in Tyler, Texas and this is where he lives and this is where he works. In October of 1969 Adano Ley was initiated into the ancient order of the Saraswati and at that time he was given the name Swami Nityananda Saraswati. Most of you have been here for the other lectures and you know that he in talking, as June said yesterday, will be speaking only to you. I would like please to introduce again Adano Ley. (Applause) Adano: Thank you Faith. Seems like they move away the box so I can be a better display to everybody. As I said before this is not a lecture for a Swami, this is Satsanga. Satsanga is fellowship with the truth and three things occur at a Satsanga: a physical contact, mental contact, and extrasensory contact but in order for us to experience that we have to calibrate our consciousness so just keep the mind here and let’s calibrate our consciousness. (Short meditation). Thank you. 0:03 This is supposed to be the third and final lecture, but how can you finalize the Science of the Soul in one lecture? Seems pretty hard to do. First lecture was called “The Origin,” the second one was called “The Involvement,” then what we think we can call the third one that would finalize it? We came down from a great plan laid out by the Creator to be involved, there must be a reason, this involvement will have to climax itself someplace. So the lecture really is called “Emergence.” You will know it as Resurrection. The Soul emerges at last free while living, an embodiment of its divine nature. Last time I was here yesterday in the afternoon around 3 o’clock, I wrote a word on the blackboard, but I did not go into the definition of it and the gentleman asked me what was that word, and what would it mean? The word was Jiva, J-I-V-A. Jiva is the individualized Soul awakening out of the involvement with creation. There is a word that follows Jiva every time it is written and that word is Mutki, which means free, liberated. When written correctly in Sanskrit, it is written as Jivan Mutki, each one being freed. Our final realization about our involvement with God is liberation, emergence, total freedom. 0:06 So a Jivan Mutki is one who is freed while living and Jesus put it in these words, “As many as received Him to them gave He the power to become Sons of God.” Seek the truth, the truth will make you free, freeman all, lords of yourself, Jivan Mutki’s. Emergence, completely liberated while in the body. Where do you want liberation? Ask yourself. If we are souls caught up in the involvement with creation, where would we want to experience liberation? Outside of creation, in some never never plane on creation, outside of involvement, or within creation and involvement? Freed while living. Do you see the opportunity open now? To be alive, to be conscious, and to be freed. What does the freedom entails and to be freed from what? We can only be free from the desires that entrap us in the involvement with the creation. There is no other entrapment. That is the internal cravings that tends to habitualize our actions around one particular form of behavior. Once we free ourselves from that habitual action, we can move on. 0:08 Let’s take a cigarette. If you repeat the process, it’s called a habit. Before you took it, it was called a craving or a desire and when you can’t get rid of it, it’s chronic, and then you’re frustrated because nobody helps you to be free so you are a slave, an addict. When we emerge from that craving, because that craving can be like a cocoon around a caterpillar. It dies in itself. When we emerge he said, “I dropped my habit. I got rid of this. I am free from that particular enslavement, that entrapment.” Now the greater entrapment is the universal cosmic desire involving creation. We are trapped all the time in the various levels of creation. The only time we are free is when we overcome it. So Master Jesus put it this way, “To him that overcometh, I will not send forth a second time, but I will make him a pillar in the house of My Lord.” Here the house is creation. The involvement is in creation. The overcoming and emergence must triumph in creation. 0:10 Saul says, “I was up in the 8th Heaven.” The triumphant emergence of Saul. Equally true all Masters make the same claim when They emerge. They are liberated in the body. True Masters who find God are not liberated in the never, never land of the mind. They are liberated here in the physical frame among mankind par example of living out the daily struggles involving themselves with human beings are arising, emerging, above that level, but they must have a method in order to bring about this emergence. The emergence is not done by any trick or magical whim, or any kind of a chemical method. The emergence is done by a natural law by which the Creator embedded in His creation. It’s involves the very origin of our nature. Remember those who were here yesterday when we spoke of the origin of the Soul, I said God breathed that wonderful, what?, into the Man, and he became a living, what? Breath and Brah-man, the breath man. If the origin tells us the link with God, the deliverance tells us also the link in God. 0:12 Once I was asked the question and I said the answer is in the question. Anybody ask you a question, sometimes don’t you recognize the question carries the answer? Well, in the origin of Man lies the deliverance of Man? Do you see where you are? God created us in this marvelous plan via a breath process. He placed us in the Involvement to realize it. Now our desires are fed by the next breath. You don’t take the next breath, as I say yesterday, they cremate you or bury you so where are your desires now? That next breath… and if the involvement isn’t bordering or centered again by the breath then the emergence, the deliverance, the freedom is bordering on the breath. When a dying man is dying what does he wants most? The next breath. Who wants to die? Jivanmutka is that state when you can come and go from the frame totally in harmony with the Creator, the Divine Breath. Paul put it this way, “I rebuke you in your rejoicing for I live and die daily in the Lord.” He was emerging all the time in the Divine Consciousness. He knew the art of Conscious Death. 14:00 In the Aquarian Age, the Aquarian Gospel written by Levi, it states that “the Science of the Soul is called the Holy Breath.” Have anyone read that book? The Holy Breath. Jesus came to His disciples after He returned from the grave and He breathed upon His disciples the Holy Breath. All through the ages Man has found that the link between Himself and God is the breath. The Holy Breath is the emerging principle. It is locked up with the life principle and only when we understand it, working from within ourcells (ourselves), are we liberated because the Holy Breath revolves around the spinal column. In Eastern writings, along the spinal column we find words mentioned like chakras or centers of energy. In the Christian scriptures, the Book of Revelation, we find the same thing mentioned in terms of golden candlesticks, the seven golden candlesticks and the golden candles. Candlesticks are containers, candles are the actual force burning. In the East they call them the seven centers or seven chakras. 0:16 The Holy Breath is the revolving force around the centers that raises up the Son of Man, which is the five senses, to the Godhead which is the intuitive force, and when the five senses are refined and are focused out as an intuitive principle, we emerge for the first time beyond the boundary lines of sensory limitation and desires. The boundary line of your five senses for sight would be that wall. Now if you look and see through the wall, then the boundary line is extended. Those who have that particular awareness, they have extended the boundary line, they have emerged, they’re free. Do you see what Emergence is leading to now? Getting beyond the limitations, freed while living. 0:18 Liberation is not a passive experience. It’s an active experience because it occurs while you’re in the body. If when we die and we would be able to be in all the levels of creation because nothing would restrict us, we are supposed to be pure Spirit then, floating around, come and go at will, nobody can say nay to you or yeah to you, can’t say “don’t come in here.” That’s not possible because the spirits can come and go when they want, but they cannot say they are free because they are not in the physical body. Now those who are in the physical body and have the experience, they are free because they are in two levels of existence. They are in the physical level and they are in non-physical level. They are free. The desires don’t pull them. The energies of the negative field don’t restrict them. They are free, free-men all, lord of themselves. They come and go in consciousness. God is the total freedom which we all strive to emerge our cells (ourselves) in and if we overcome the pull of our desires, we don’t have to repeat them again and again. We are free. 0:20 Now we become what the Master Jesus say, “A pillar in the House of the Lord.” Now a pillar in this building would be a permanent fixture, a part that supports the structure. If you are free from the pull of the senses and the desires then you and the Creator are not separated anymore. You are free in the creation. You are free within this whole structure and in fact you begin to realize that you hold up a part of the structure, you carry a portion of the load of maintaining the structure. You carry the responsibility of seeing the structure maintaining its balance. You carry the involvement of voluntary aiding every form of creation to continue its growth into emergence or liberation. Now those who have achieved this emergence would state in one voice, “If it needs be, I’ll come again and again to raise my fellow man back to his true divine nature.” If it needs be. So we hear the term, “Second coming of Christ.” We hear the term of Krishna coming again. We hear the term Buddha coming again. 0:22 The return and the return and the return, the coming back and the coming back, for what? If you’re coming back by unfulfilled desires and we are not free, is it not better to come back when all desires are completely resolved to help others to lift themselves up? So the choice in emergence is not reincarnation, the choice in emergence is resurrection, a transformation. An apple carries within itself the seeds of another apple. You plant the seeds and out come tomatoes. Interesting apple tree huh? Well no such deal, you must have the same pattern repeating itself. So reincarnation, or involvement again, is the repetition. Emergence is something else. Liberation is something else. We look at a caterpillar. It spins a cocoon but before it can do that it has to gorge itself while it’s in existence to satisfy its physical structure then it spins a cocoon. This is an interesting part. It deliberately knows how to die to its environment, like Paul, “I rebuke you in your rejoicing for I live and die daily in the Lord.” Therefore Paul is conscious of a method of bringing about suspension. 0:24 Breath is linked with suspension. Breath is linked with action. So the Holy Breath is that process that revolves around the mechanism that brings about an internal suspension in order to emerge. Out from the caterpillar and the cocoon emerges a brand new species, something that does not even crawl no more. It flies and you know every other flying creature by their own natural gift of God to fly is not beautiful in comparison to that butterfly. Look at them, take a good look. Of all the flying creatures in the world by their natural gift of God to fly and look at the emergence from the caterpillar into the butterfly where the beauty is. It’s a distinct stamp of emergence, freedom, and it lives and when it appears to go into suspension, it does not decay. Has anyone seen a decaying, rotting butterfly? Yet other creatures that fly by the gift of God, when they go into suspension, or death, transition, they go through decay. 0:26 So we see emergence is based on that art of how to die consciously in the body while in this creation in order to gain liberation. Therefore Paul said, “I do it daily.” That means constantly he knew how to shut this thing down, this body, this mechanism. He was aware of shutting it down. It was a daily process with him. In our Book of Revelation they mention the seven candlesticks before the throne of God and in Eastern writings they mention the chakras and we know them as centers or vortices of energy along the spinal column. When the energy revolves around that area consciously, we are doing exactly what the caterpillar is doing by spinning its cocoon around itself to emerge as a butterfly, when we do it consciously. Now, Yukteswar said when He was in the body, “Man is Yogi at night when he’s sound asleep and gaining emergence in his Creator, but he’s a slow pace Yogi.” 0:28 And the word Yogi means an individual who is in union with God. Slow paced means he’s not fully conscious and is moving at a snail’s rate, but when man is conscious of this particular movement in his body, he emerges into God and become a Son of God. Therefore there must be some method that this body is performing when we are unconscious, when we are asleep, that is propelling us into God gradually and is something that has to be awakened to our conscious mind in order to propel us quicker in order to emerge from the pull of creation and the desire. When we are sound asleep this energy revolves around the spine. It’s pulled in and you feel you’re in a deep state of relaxation, but you have no control. So sleep is called the little death and the final sleep is called the final death, but what is that ability to live and die daily? What kind of death is that? 0:30 If sleep is unconscious and the final death leaves you unconscious, then to live and die daily must be a different kind of death. It must leave you something else. It can’t leave you unconscious. If it leaves you unconscious then they will bury you or cremate you. That type of death is conscious death. It is an art in which like the caterpillar spinning its own cocoon around itself emerges and when it emerges we see a distinct transformation cellular-wise. When the Soul is returning back to its Creator and emerging from the involvement by conscious death, the first distinct transformation of that being is cellular, not miracles. The first distinct indication of emergence is a cellular change. The scriptures talk of an emergence, a transformation, but it’s a cellular transformation. There’s a distinct physical change that occurs in the body. 0:32 When I was initiated by Swami Ananda, he told me an interesting story of this conscious death. He was initiated a boy of 14 years of age and he practiced his meditation for years until he was 65. During that time he never saw anything in his meditation or heard anything. It was totally darkness in there. Out of respect for his teacher that gave him the technique, he kept on doing it. At the age of 65, he went to see his teacher. Now his teacher was 45 when he was 14. Now he’s 65 and his teacher is still around, he’s a pretty young man you know. So he said to his teacher, “Sir I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything, and I haven’t made any progress on the spiritual path in God. I’m not free from this involvement, this entrapment.” So the teacher said to him, “You have. You have.” He says no. Then he says, “Tell me how long can you meditate?” He says well I can… “Without fidgeting.” That’s interesting, without fidgeting. He says, “For two and a half hours.” So the teacher says, “Show me.” So he sat down and he started to meditate. After one hour… He was sitting like this, in this position, so his foot was crossed. The teacher took a nail and a hammer and nailed, it… the leg right to the floor, through the calf and waited. Now imagine in India they don’t have nice bright shiny nails you know. A good rusty one would give you gangrene anytime. 0:34 So the teacher nailed him to the floor and waited and after two and half hours, the Swami opened his eyes and looks around, “See teacher, I don’t see anything or hear anything.” Guru says, “Alright, look at your foot.” He looked at his foot and there it was nailed, he couldn’t pull it out. He says, “Well I’ll pull the nail out for you now. I’ll heal the foot, but I’ll leave the scar as a momento of how deep in God you are.” He felt no pain and knew no pain, but that was how deep the man was in God, totally liberated. If you see the Swami, and my wife has seen him, we were both initiated by him, the texture of the man’s skin is like a baby just born. There’s not a single grey hair on his head and he has the buoyancy of a young boy just bumbling with love. Now if I can reach 86 years and look like that, I’m very thankful that I followed the path of conscious death because this would mean I’ve learned how to free myself from the involvement, freed while living. Now if this is an indication of what lies ahead of higher and more emergence because when this body has thrown off corruption and taken on non-corruption, that’s a higher emergence. 0:36 We see in the case of Yogananda’s body, not subject to decay after death. There are many other cases like that. In the resurrected body of Jesus. Kabir, in the case of Kabir is interesting. Kabir came, like also like Guru Nanak, these two men came and they taught the Hindus and the Moslems and they tried to reconcile them. Well when Nanak died he was in the coffin and the Hindus said, “By our customs we cremate the dead.” The Mohammedans said, “By our customs we bury the dead.” While they were busy arguing the lid of the coffin flew off and up stood Kabir, up stood Guru Nanak. These two Masters were at the same time, teaching the same type of people, having the same identical experiences. He looked at them (can’t be heard) Kabir or Nanak, anyone, the two men. He looked at them and dematerialized in front of their eyes. He left in the coffin two bunches of roses. 0:38 The Hindus took their roses and cremated it. The Mohammedans took their roses and buried it and the war of Kashmir went on. Pakistan and India is a reality, but Guru Nanak or Kabir is a figment of imagination, just as much as Jesus might still be a figment of imagination for many people. It is not the genetic background of the nation that determines emergence in God. It is the conscious involvement of the Soul to demonstrate its superiority as Soul over the involvement in creation that determines what is God and why we are involved with God. Soul, when free while in the human form, is the highest expression Man can look up and have respect for God. If I was a cow, I would want a super-cow to be my god, something greater than the form I’m in. If I was a fish, I’d want a super-fish. If I was a tree, I’d want a super-tree, but I am made in the form of man then my highest ideal of God crystallizing Itself in creation and overcoming its involvement would be the super-man and what is the super-man? Not one who tries to impress me with his abilities to be with miraculous powers. One who transcends the normal breakdown rate of my form to which I’m subjected to when I’m involved with the creation. When that form can demonstrate its emergence then I am seeing God at the human level. This is the reason why Masters come on the Earth. They are called Avatars or descent of the Spirit, incarnates. We have the word Avatara or Emmanuel, the God in man, or God with us, the incarnate. 0:41 It is because of that, man needs some focal point to respect his Divinity. It’s difficult to worship God as an “It.” You can’t worship God as “It” because there is no feeling of intimacy with “It.” If we are made in the image of It-ness, then what intimacy has It-ness to do with “It?” Then I’m an “It.” Do you see? “But male and female created them.” This image has an intimacy. This is the image that brings forth the need of meeting God on the human level. That is why Masters are present on the Earth, to reach us at the human level, to demonstrate the qualities of the human level extended beyond the involvement of the creation. They extend those qualities. They seem to draw it out of us to help us realize that these qualities are embedded in us from the very instant we were projected out by the Creator. That we are all free men, lord of ourcells (ourselves) once we know the truth about ourcells. We don’t know the truth about ourcells, we don’t know why we are involved in a creation, we don’t know why we have to resolve ourcells in the creation, and we don’t know the origin of ourcells in the creation, then we are not free. 0:43 We will struggle in various blind alleys, with various theories and id’s (ideas), trying to find a solution to what is essentially locked up in ourcells (ourselves). God is eternal life in every aspect right down to the atom and if His embodiment in human form is any measurement of that eternal life then Jivanmutka, freed while living, is the highest form of emergence as religion or the Science of the Soul can offer man. Man truly is Spirit, Eternal Force, not created, not destroyed, ever existing, ever free. When crystallized in form, man is called “Sant” or Saint, sane for the first time, truly sane. He is not a derelict in creation. He’s not like the Wandering Dutchman on the high seas of life. He is truly aligned with his Creator. His role in life is one of peace. That’s why the only thing Jesus said that made any sense to my mind when I was studying the comparison between Christianity and Eastern teachings, “The peace I give, the world don’t give.” 0:45 If peace is truly psychological emergence, then transformation of the cells is biological emergence. If liberation to the highest form of Beingness, the eighth heaven, is Soul liberation and Saul went up there as Paul and Saul will tell you, “I was the worst among you” because he confessed it to his fellow man. He didn’t hide it, he told the world outright that he was the worst to be involved, but he made the effort to free himself. In the emergence comes the final link. We can’t emerge without help. Jesus went to John the Baptist and said to him, “Baptize me” and John the Baptist said to him, “You baptize me.” Now picture this at the river Jordan, two grown men arguing who should throw a little water on each other’s head. Ain’t that kinda strange? It’s only water, but what is the significance of the water? What is the whole purpose of the confrontation? But Jesus said to John, “Suffer it to be so,” in other words endure it at this moment in the involvement, “For this is the way of righteousness.” This is the way I can make it through your intercession, through your grace, through your contact, a human to human relationship. 0:47 Baptism is initiation, an introduction to the purpose, the way of how to cycle the energy in so that we can consciously die and emerge in God. When he was baptized or initiated by John, he went through the process and in the final process he emerged and rose on the third day to demonstrate to his disciples that this is the way back to the Creator, free-men or lord of themselves. Thomas was in doubt that such a thing had happened when he was told that a Master had emerged or resurrected. His mind could not accept. They were in a (can’t be heard) chamber and then low and behold the Master appeared to them and in that moment he questioned, “Are you apparition or are you real?” They knew the difference, they had to know the difference because they were accustomed to mediums, they were accustomed to psychic writings, they were accustomed to all the extrasensory studies from Egyptian time. Is it truly emergence or is this one big grand hoax of a hypnotic act. Jesus approached him and says, “Touch, make sure, it is emergence, it is liberation.” We see then the final role in the Science of the Soul is free-men all, lord of yourself. 0:49 We don’t have to hit anyone on the head to convince him or to convert him. We have to make the effort to discover it for ourcells (ourselves) and to experience it. It’s the experience for each one of us that is open to us and though “heaven and earth may pass away, not one jot and tittle of my word will pass away.” And jot is a full stop and a tittle is a comma, not even that will interfere with the fact that man will come down from this creative process, be involved, and will have to fight his way out to get back home. So if you want to use a model of the process, think of the prodigal son. The prodigal son is the Soul going forth from the father’s home, getting involved, squandering its sustenance, that is the use of its free will, entrapped, and suddenly coming to his senses decides to return and emerge, but here’s an interesting thing, on the return home to his father, on the process of emerging, it is said that the father did something when he saw his son coming, can anyone remember that, what did the father do? Audience: “He killed the fatted calf.” Adano: No, before he did that the father met him halfway. That is an important thing to remember in your emergence. 0:51 In emerging from this involvement, the father met the prodigal son halfway. That halfway mark when we are emerging, is at the heart center. The heart is opening up. If your heart don’t open up in any shape or form to get beyond the involvement of creation, we’re not going to be able to be free. God has to meet us at the halfway mark. The opening up of the heart, the opening up of compassion, the shedding of the desire, and the longing for the union with the Spirit, at the halfway mark. Here at the halfway mark, we are greeted. There the bell tolls within us. There is a bell that rings right inside of our consciousness at the halfway mark and as we hear it in our meditation, then the transformation begins, then the emergence begins, we start to rise and rising is like the cloak being put upon you, and the crown, and the fatted calf, and everything. You are at last becoming free, you are feasting now in the divine light. So if there is any doubt in the mind as to your emergence, remember God meets you at the halfway mark, but how He meets you at the halfway mark? Not by coming out of the sky and say, “I’m ready for you.” He meets you at the halfway mark through the aid of a God realized person who initiates you into that art. 0:53 John the Baptist meeting Jesus at the halfway mark. Jesus was from the age of 12 to the age of 30, no one knew where He was, but the moment He met John the Baptist that was the halfway mark. The two met and started the final conclusion of the emergence. It is that initiation, that inner contact between you and God that sets the final liberation. Thank you. (applause). Yes there are questions and answers or five minutes break? Audience: (can’t be heard) Adano: He was crucified. The involvement of the disciple determines the death of the Master. Audience: Could you repeat that please? Adano: The involvement of the disciples determine the death of the Master. A Master does not die because He wishes it, He fulfills the desires of those who wish His death. So their karma, their involvement is the one that determines how He dies. Remember He was with a group of people, His own people, “He came unto His own and they received Him not.” So in their rejection, they themselves in the involvement would determine His destruction. When they were offered a choice between Barabbas who was a guerrilla chieftain captured by the Romans and Jesus, what did they say? All they shouted was “Crucify Him” and when the disciples realized they were going to be strung up too, they all denied Him. So the death of a Master, anyone, is determined by the involvement of the disciples around that Master. 0:56 If you look back in the lives of all the Masters who died, very few die in Their beds. They’ve all died a violent death by the involvement with the disciple. There is the great Master, Guru Arjan, who was literally butchered to death by the involvement of His disciples where He came to teach them in Punjab. Buddha died by poisoning. Krishna died by being taken for a beautiful deer because His skin was blue. The auric light was so bright that the man who was hunting thought it was a beautiful deer walking and shot Him. So we don’t know of any real Master leaving this earth plane dying in bed. The involvement of their disciples determine their death. It seems tragic from the Western point that Jesus involvement brought a death on a cross, but the cross is not a Christian symbol. It was used centuries ago before by the Chaldeans, (can’t be heard) emphasize Christianity. Crucifixion was not a normal way to kill a man. It was only reserved for criminals, but even then they never nailed him, they would tie him on the post or the cross and let him hang out there and die a slow death and in the slowness of the death, they would gradually break the limbs to speed up the pain. Audience: As Christians experience illumination when they accept Jesus as Savior you’re saying they’re accepting Him as Master, would you make that statement? Adano: Yes, the word Savior and Master means the same because it comes from the word Guru, Messiah, He who lifts up, He who saves you from your frustrations. What is a Master for and what is a disciple? What constitutes the disciple? When you are totally frustrated that’s the only time you’re gonna need help, but as long as you don’t have frustrations you’re gonna think you’re pretty smart and get out of it yourself until you find yourself in a mental blind alley. It’s like the wild horse. He’s pretty smart as long as they keep chasing him, he’s gonna run the whole arroyo and all of the whole plain till they pin him up into one corner, then he’s frustrated and he may be lucky if he can turn around and charge into his opponents and throw them off guard and get away. Maybe when we can turn around in our mental whirl (world) and face our ids (ideas) just like that wild horse and surprise ourcells (ourselves), then we are free. A Master comes to us because He has solved these mental blocks, these behavioral patterns, achieving that total freedom by living it. He extends that to the student or the disciple so that he can turn now, solve that same frustration and come out. Otherwise there is no need for the Master. That’s why Jesus said, “The student should be as the Master.” The Master is frustration less, but the student is frustration total. You see? 1:00 Audience: Isn’t it rather conceited for an individual to identify himself as a Master or a Saint while in the body. It seems that this sort of thing would not be information that’s given to people in the body. Adano: Is it not conceitful for an individual to call himself a Master, to identify himself as a Master in the body? He who says he’s a Master is not and he who says he’s not a Master is not. Audience: Then who’s a Master? Adano: He who is Master of himself. Audience: And who is to determine who has mastered himself? Adano: God. Audience: So then it cannot be identified in the body who is a Master and who is not. Adano: Yes. He has an unusual ability when you’re in His presence, to answer your questions before you ask them. Audience: (can’t be heard) they are not of love, then they are not of God. Adano: His questions and His answers are always embedded in truth because He has lived them and will demonstrate them to you if you’re in doubt. He first must be able to walk the road before He can say or give an answer. Otherwise, He keeps His peace and that He gives you all the time while you are in His presence. 1:02 Audience: I know that Jesus said that (can’t be heard)… the most humble person is most likely to be the Master but would not identify Himself as Master while in the body. Adano: No, alright, the Master is servant truly. Is He the servant by providing food for you? Is He the servant by bathing you? Audience: If that be your need, it might be so. Adano: Then every Master has done it. He provides food for those who don’t have. He provides homes for those that don’t have. He provides companionship. He provides liberation. Truly He is the servant in every form because there is nothing you can give Him. He will always give you what you cannot begin to carry, more than you can carry. Even before you ask He will pour it into your lap, that’s why He’s Master. Audience: But there are many Masters among us for there are many who do this. Adano: Yes. Audience: We need to live on the principle of love then (can’t be heard)… Adano: Yes. Now you know what Master is. Audience: I would like to know about one’s diet. In India they don’t eat meat and when people study Yoga in the West, is it right to change over to a vegetarian diet in this climate. If one eats meat would it add more to their animalistic nature? Adano: I’ll have to answer you like Brother Thomas who I met in South Carolina. He said, “You know people ask me why I’m a vegetarian. So I said don’t ask me why I’m a vegetarian because I can go into all the pros and cons of the technical ends of it and all the pros and cons of not taking life. The only reason why I’m a vegetarian is it’s cheaper that way.” Let’s take the economics of India, why they are vegetarians. 1:04 Audience: What about the cows that run around and eat just what they want. Adano: How many cows do they have in proportion per capita of the population that they can afford to butcher them all up and eat them. They don’t have that tremendous ranching program going on in India, just a few in straggly little areas, but the reasons why the Hindus don’t eat meat, for centuries they have been following a spiritual path and they know that the human being and the animal have a bond. A human being can communicate with an animal and an animal can mimic and react like a human being and through the mimicry and the reaction, they have come to accept the animal as humanoid, close to the human level. The cow they accept as a second mother when the mother can’t give milk no more. Now they don’t eat the dog, some places they do. Some places they don’t eat the sheep. Some places they don’t eat the pig. Some places they do eat the pig. These are all varying changes of geographical calamities that cause them to be like that, but centuries ago they accepted the animal being close to human, therefore they would not consume a brother. 1:06 So they used to say “mother cow,” “brother goat,” “sister sheep,” and if you live on the reservations they do call these animals brother, sister, and mother like that. Now Western man is grown up into an environment where he eats meat without that type of association. To say that he should up and dump it to become a vegetarian overnight is not practical. I’ve tried every form of diet, the extreme to the non-extreme, I’ve found that on the spiritual path a simple diet helps. Meat has a tendency to… up to a certain point in your spiritual life in your meditation you can eat meat. After a certain level of meditation you can’t eat meat. I have an example. There was a man who got on a rooftop in the early days of Jesus, when Jesus passed on, and you may be familiar with his name, his name is Peter and he had a vision and he was supposed to visit someplace that they ate meat. He was then a vegetarian and saw all these things pouring into this sheet of cloth that was supposed to be eaten as food and he said, “Lord these things are unclean, can’t eat them.” But then he hear the consciousness saying, “Eat, everything I have made is clean.There is no unclean, providing.” At that level in meditation anyone who meditates he will see the astral forms of the animals that he had consumed or might consume. Here is the misguiding aspect of consciousness. The negative force of the consciousness can trick you at that moment to let you believe that if you consume the form, you can go higher up into God by telling you, “Everything I have made is clean.” Not until we are fully realized can we vouch for that experience. When we are in deep realization, we will not be pulled down by the object or the substance we eat, we will not come back to the lower tendencies. 1:09 Jesus did not eat the meat products while He was in the body. Only reference of His life having ate any flesh was after resurrection when they said someone fed them a piece of honeycomb and fish to His disciples and did eat. A Master can eat anything when He’s realized, but until that time He does not eat everything. There was a Swami that was in India not too long ago, it’s about 100 years ago. He was visiting a home in India and even in India they don’t know that Swamis, all of them don’t know that Swamis don’t eat meat. This may seem strange that a country where meat eating is not considered the spiritual form of food, yet they did not know. They fed the Swami with His students a dish of food and in it was meat. The Swami looked, He didn’t say anything, He ate. Now if you were reporting Him I’d say, “the Swami ate the meat so it’s good for us to eat the meat.” Equally true there was a boy in the group who said, “No wonder Swamiji has all the power to walk in the midday sun. He got the strength, He eats the meat. We are His students, we eat only fruits and vegetables and nuts. We don’t have pep, we don’t seem to be able to get up… keep up with Him.” 1:11 The Swami was able to read his mind and He said to the boy, “You think you can eat what I can eat?” The boy broadened up his shoulders, looked at the Master and he says, “Yes, I can eat.” “Ok, next time when we stop you will eat with me.” The next time they stopped they happened to be invited by a blacksmith and He told the blacksmith to give these disciples fruits, nuts, and vegetables and He in turn went over to the blacksmith’s pit where the fire was and started picking up hot charcoals, molten lead and nails, and start eating. Then He turned to the boy and says, “Come on, let’s eat.” You know what the disciple did? He took a fast run to the back room. He realized he was not there, but out of his ignorance he thought, by looking upon a human being, that he could measure up in consciousness. The Swami was a realized man, but He didn’t do that to go around and tell people that he could eat nails or fire or burning charcoals to convince them. It was that lesson for that boy. That boy got the lesson and he was healed. So it is not starting out to say that you should eat meat or not eat meat. It is what level of consciousness you are moving in. So if you’re a beginner on the path it is wise to gradually eliminate from your diet until you have come to some degree of realization where everything is possible. 1:13 I’ll give you another illustration. Yogananda was alive as a boy and His friend says, “Come on, you are initiated, don’t tell me you can eat anything.” And Yogananda says, “No, but by the grace of God’s Consciousness, it’s possible.” He says, “I still am a vegetarian.” So the boy says, “Alright, you tell me that God is in everything?” Yogananda said, “Yes.” “You mean to tell me that little mess that that dog puked up there, God is in it?” Yogananda says, “Yes.” He says, “You mean to tell me you can reach forward and eat it?” He says, “By the grace of God working in my consciousness, yes.” He says, “If you eat it, then I’ll join you.” And Yogananda ran up, picked the stuff up and start eating. The boy started to vomit and He grabbed the boy by the head and pushed it into his mouth, make sure he tasted it and when he did, the boy was pleasantly surprised, it was the most pleasant tasting food he ever had. That convinced him at what degree the Master was in in Consciousness. It cured the boy, but the boy became a lifelong disciple years after. He could not stand the shock that a student of his age and Yogananda of His age could be a teacher, but it was not until Yogananda entered the Swami order that the man came back a grown man, a doctor, that came on a visit to this country doing research, that went back in humble respect and realized that he was living with a Master. You see it was said that Jesus took a dove of clay while others were playing and threw His and His flew away when He was a child. In the consciousness, yes, but nevertheless when He was a full grown man then the Consciousness was truly working. Many of us come back into the world with an awakened Consciousness at early age and can do things. If we take advantage at that point, we’ll never go forward. If we do not take advantage and wait until that Consciousness is set and mature, then we can do anything, Free-man or Lord of Themselves, not until then. 1:15 So if they impose the restriction of not to eat meat in the ashrams or the retreats, there is a lesson to learn. When you are a beginner don’t try to reach too far. Any other question? Audience: (Can’t be heard.) At the time my brother lifts me, is he not my Master at that moment? Adano: Lifts me. Audience: If my brother helps me, at that moment if he raises me, is he not my Master? Adano: No. If you fall down and I lift you up that does not make me your Master because He who is Master must first reveal God to you. That which you seek the most in order to be God-like. Having not found God, how can one who haven’t found It give It to you? The Master’s role in life is to make you aware of God in yourself. That is why He is in the body. He is God personified in flesh, total Cosmic Consciousness. He comes among Man to make Man God Conscious. It is up to Man to recognize the God in the God-Man, but He never would use any way to force him into it. We have a story in the East, it goes like this. There was a student living at a retreat. He was fully realized with His Master and the Master said to him, “Tell me what would be the best thing now that you are realize would you want to do.” He says, “Oh Master with this I would like to go into the village and share it with my brother, with my sisters, the whole world.” And the Master says “Alright, you have my permission, go.” 1:18 Seven days the man returned. His teacher says, “What happened?” He says, “They don’t know me. Everywhere I went they were too involved with their own personal lives and in fact they call me crazy and threw stones at me and this is the result.” He pulled the garment and he was beaten up, full of scars. So it’s not so easy to know what is Master. Jesus came down from the mountain after He was fasting and passing the river Jordan John said to the group of disciples, only a few of them, “There goeth your Master.” He kept on walking. It is stated that three got up and walked behind Jesus. He never looked around and said, “Hi, I’m glad you recognize me, I’m a Master.” But it’s known that three got up and followed Jesus, but it took John to make the statement. It takes another Master to point out a Master to one who isn’t a Master. So He said, “There goeth your Master.” Then these three men who were studying with John got up and walked after Jesus. Then He went through the marketplace and He said to various people, “Follow me.” Now what is it that triggers the ignition or the recognition for the person to say, “I would want to follow you.” It has to be the Soul Nature, the God Nature, that one feels immediately in contact that pulls it. There has to be some flooding in of that Divine Love at that moment when the two people meet that one would instantaneously drop everything and rush and follow. 1:20 You know, Peter, James, and John dropped everything and ran after Jesus. There are lots of people doing it today. They’re dropping everything and running after their Masters or their Teachers. This is what it’s all about. Yes? Audience: It says in the Bible, “Thou shalt not kill.” Adano: Yes. Audience: So you go to (can’t be heard) and go the animals and you go down to the insects, but what about when one becomes a Master and very air is full of life? What about that? Adano: He kills. Audience: Huh? Adano: He kills, but everything He kills becomes a human being after. Audience: Well isn’t it sort of… Adano: Because He’s God manifest in form and everything He contacts in this creation is raised to a higher potential. A Master went walking… He’s a living Master right now, He has a very advanced student who is a doctor of philosophy. One day he was at this retreat and the Master came out of the retreat and He said to the doctor, He says, “Come with me, I want to take a trip into the woods.” They walked into the woods and in the woods the Master said, “Let’s take a turn around this bush.” The professor, he’s a doctor of philosophy, he turned. Master got out of the car and He walked around and all of a sudden, it took five six minutes, along came an old lion, hardly can walk, coming right up and he growled and look at Master, growl, growl. He’s bowing… so the Master says, “Had enough of killing? Alright, you want to go home, want to be a human being? Go on now.” Touched him and the lion fell over and died and He got back in the car and He went His way. 1:22 Now there was a man who was dying and he wanted to see the Master of this particular ashram in India, but he couldn’t because he was in hospital and people came to intercede. They say they can’t afford to keep him in the hospital, they don’t have the money and he’s old, but “he lingers on only because of love for You.” “Why don’t You release him and let him go?” The Master said, “Alright.” He visited the man in the hospital and He says, “You want to go home?” He says, “Yes Master.” “Then go on.” And the man died instantly. There was another one who climbed up a mountain searching for a Master called by the name of Babaji and he said to Him, “Alas I have found you. Without you I cannot get to the gates of heaven.” And the Master said to him, “In your present condition I can’t accept you as a disciple.” He said, “If You don’t accept me I’ll kill myself. I’ll jump over this mountain and kill myself.” The Master just looked at him and says, “Jump.” And he did jump and everyone says, “That’s a cruel act. That’s taking life.” And the Master says, “Bring his body now.” It was all mangled up and He touched it and He says, “Now you’re free, you’re immortal. No longer do you have to face death. Now you can be one of Us.” So when we say if a Master kills, He is God incarnate. Every act He performs is to raise you back to your true Divinity. Freeing you again from the Involvement. Yogananda was alive in the body and someone told me this. There was a ant nest in the pathway of the driveway of Mount Washington estate and everyday He would come along and look at the ants building their nest and one day He says, “You know, soon people will walk on your heads and you wouldn’t evolve and I might as well do it for you right now.” And they said Master squashed up all the ant nest. Now would you say that’s a cruel act or killing? The Involvement. 1:25 Now Jesus whipped the money changers out of the temple. That’s cruelty, but He was doing it to raise their level of awareness. They don’t do acts just to please Themselves or to please society. They’re doing it for the higher motive, the higher ideal of Emergence to restore the balance in the Being, to reunite him with the Divinity. So we can’t say what They tell us not to do and They do it… you know that’s the old cliche, when I was a priest, “Don’t do what I do, do what I tell you to do.” But it doesn’t work like that in a Master’s life. In the average man it could be, “Don’t do what I tell you to do” and then I go ahead and do it, but not in a Master’s life. When He does it rest assure that individual or whatever is done is raised back to its Divinity. Yes? Audience: May I ask you what were these ants supposed to evolve? Adano: Anytime a Master takes the life of a lower creature or any form, it’s raised back to a human being. It gains that opportunity to reunite itself through God in human form. Audience: So all these ants became human beings? Adano: Yes. They merit, they merit a human incarnation. Audience: Without the help of God or love… (can’t be heard) 1:27 Adano: It is the Love of God that was compassionate enough to raise them to that level because God when He erupts an earthquake or a volcano, you hate Him for it? Audience: Hate God… sometimes I might if… Adano: That’s only the mind not the Soul. The Soul cannot hate what is there. How can a Soul hate? Audience: The soul can hate, the soul can hate very much because hate is the opposite end of love. Adano: The Soul cannot hate. Audience: Many souls hate. Hate is a natural emotion and souls hate. We see hate every day. Adano: Alright… Audience: It is the soul that hates, not necessarily the body which hates. The soul is that which feels the emotion and it does the hating and of course this is the opposite of love. Adano: Are you Soul or do you have a Soul? Audience: My soul is a part of me when I’m in a body. I’m mind, body, and Soul. Adano: Alright, then you have a soul. Audience: My soul is me, part of me, when I’m in a body. I’m mind, body, and Soul. Adano: You see I don’t have a soul. Audience: Uhhh, you are… Adano: Then how can Soul hate? Audience: Well the soul is that which feels the emotion, the soul loves, it’s the soul that feels emotion and the soul then can also hate in the body. Adano: SOUL is the Spiritual Order of United Life. How can the Spiritual Order of United Life hate anything? Audience: United life? Please clarify that… Adano: Soul is the Spiritual Order of United Life… Audience: That needs clarification… Adano: Life is not chaotic or in disenchanted pieces hanging around like scraps. It’s in a state of unity. Audience: That’s mind, body, and soul within the entity, individual entity… Adano: (chuckles) Your Soul is you, the I AM. Audience: It’s part of me. Adano: It’s the I AM. Audience: Mind and body are also part of me when I’m in a body. Adano: No, you see that is the mind talking, not the Soul experiencing anything. Audience: Well the soul experiences love and the soul experiences hate. Emotions are of the soul. It is the soul that is the feeling part of the entity. The mind is the thinking part of the entity and the soul is that which feels. Adano: Alright. He who have eyes to see let him see and ears to hear let him hear… (long silence) Thank you. Audience: (Applause)
1971 December 18 Part 1 - Christ Intelligence Astro Symbology
Adano71_12_18_1ChristIntelAstroSymbologyQ3RR - Audience: Swami Nityananda teaches the unity of all religions with the emphasis on daily meditation. He is the minister of All Faith Fellowship in Tyler Texas and he has a retreat there. He is speaking this afternoon on Christ Consciousness and Astrological Symbology. This will be given in four parts: this afternoon part one, this evening at 7:30 part two, tomorrow afternoon at three o’clock part three, and tomorrow evening at 7:30 part four. We’d like to have you welcome Swami Nityananda. (Applause). Adano: (Inaudible then short meditation). Thank you. So let us calibrate our minds. If I’m not talking loud enough let me know. All right (short meditation). The lecture today is Christ Consciousness through Astrological Symbology but as I said before there are no lectures with Swamis, it’s Satsanga. Three things occur at Satsanga: a physical contact, a mental contact, and an extrasensory contact therefore your consciousness would be raised into levels of experience at the same time. This being the period of the Christ’s birth, Man is familiar in the western world that the journey to Bethlehem had to do with three wise men following a star. Now anytime you read anything pertaining to a star in any religious writing, metaphysical writing, automatically you’re drawn to the idea that there must be something to do with astrology. Why would three men who are kings in their own rights leave their homes in search of another individual via the guidance of a star? Certainly the orientals are not foolish to waste their time to follow a star in the heavens and search for another being, let alone if he was a western man with scientific equipment, there would have to be some meaning far reaching into it. To understand the Christ intelligence via the astrological symbology you must first understand Man, looking at Man. Man has been termed at one time a miniature universe in a greater universe. Now to look at this idea you must look at the human body and let us look at the human body. Here is the head and that’s the spine, let me say this is the neck, shoulder, (inaudible). Now according to eastern thinking the human body is divided up into certain centers or chakras and the first one is located in the base of the spine, it’s called the coccyx center and it’s also known as the earth center. Then the next center is called the sacral or regenerative center. Third called lumbar which is in line with the navel just below the rib cage. The fourth is called the dorsal, the mind and the heart. The fifth is called the cervical (inaudible). Six is called pituitary the point between the eyebrows or Christ center. And the top is called the pineal or master center. When viewed in astrological symbology we will see a very interesting illustration. It is stated that Jesus was born by astrologers in the Piscean age hence the symbol of the fish or fishes were associated with His works. Some of us can take the fish literally which is true that the Master did feed people, thousands of fishes and bread but when we look into this particular frame of reference we will see something very important, very far-reaching, when we deal with the Christ Intelligence, not the personality. In the Piscean age if you put pisces over here representing the upward movement of the cosmic clock and that would represent the downward movement of the cosmic clock in Man. A clock has an upward movement and a downward movement, 12 hours up, 12 hours down, in the cosmic we have the same principle going on, there is no separation. 0:10 And the next center, if we are in the Piscean age and He was born in the planet Earth… Piscean age then this is the starting point of the Christ intelligence in that age. The age is determined on the right side or the positive side of the earth sign in oriental (inaudible) as a starting point of the intelligent movement. The next sign following Pisces is Aries, the next sign following Aries is Taurus. The next sign following Taurus in Gemini, this is on the positive side of the clock. The next sign is Cancer. Now according to Sri Yukteswar in the the Autobiography of a Yogi, he says “Man is goverened by an inner universe to which all are united.” Therefore in an inner universe there have to be a movement (inaudible) the sun in relation to the Zodiac so Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, then the next one will be (inaudible). Now the Sun would be on top and that is Virgo and on the left side of (inaudible) we see Libra. On the left side of the heart we see (inaudible) and on the lumbar on the left side we see Sagittarius and sacral we have Capricorn and again on the other side we have Aquarius. Now now we are looking at a very strange arrangement within the cosmic Man, Jesus was born of a virgin of immaculate birth, this is what the symbology states. True, there is an immaculate birth, there was a virgin physically speaking that is true too, nothing is impossible with God but going into deeper understanding of the Christ intelligence in the astrological symbology which will always resolve itself when checked out in the age that the Master consciousness appears we will see Virgo, the Sun, the light is important, the pureness, the Christ’s intelligence in the Piscean Age on the Earth will have to come in astrologically speaking in Virgo, when the Sun was in Virgo if He came in on the Piscean age. Now his Sun is in Virgo, where would his moon be? In Leo, did he not come from royalty, from the house of David if his mother was a virgin and she was a descendant of the house of David and lion is royalty? If the moon is in Leo and Leo indicates heralding the news hence the idea that Gabriel (inaudible) the hell out of the news of the advent of the birth of a God-man to a virgin. Pisces is the symbol, Virgo is the Sun, Leo is the moon, the Christ intelligence is working on the inner realm already in that age, all men were being drawn. Now He was born in a manger among animals, in the cave of the rib, right (inaudible) below the heart looks like a ribcage and you will notice that animals seem to surrounded that area more than other areas in the astrological makeup. We have fish, Aries the lamb, Taurus the bull, Sagittarius half horse half man, Capricorn the goat and Aquarius life/water, born in a manger in the lower realm of the anatomy of the cosmic Man, the Christ intelligence came into existence. The Christ intelligence was appearing now in its full makeup within that reference in a manger. Now three wise men have to seek him, in astrology you know there are three very important signs but in fact there are four let us see if it is true were there really four wise men who sought Jesus, three found him at birth and one from him later? There is that knowledge existing in Catholic writings, in many metaphysical writings, that there were four wise men who sought the Master Jesus, three found Him at birth and one found Him later. Sagittarius in astrology is considered the philosopher, also religion. In Hindu philosophy Sagittarius is called the Guru, the teacher. Capricorn is also one of the spiritual signs in astrology representing organization, balance, and we have Aquarius. These three were seeking on the earth plane the Christ born in Pisces. Now the Pisces is also a spiritual sign in astrology and the fourth wise man had to be a Piscean too, he had to set out to seek the Christ. It is said in writings (inaudible) that one wise man brought gold, one brought frankincense, and one brought Myrrh. In astrology which of the planets would be capable of giving gold or governing gold? We find that in Sagittarius, the beneficent pull of Jupiter governs Sagittarius, gold would be attributed to Sagittarius. Frankincense the ministry, organization, in Saturn we find that governing Capricorn, discipline, order, a new order, a new idea (id?), a new renovation in Man, that is brought. Aquarius, life, myrrh is used only at death to ensure perpetuation of life in some form embalming, Aquarius means the new life, the renewal of life, the Christ in Man would eventually have to triumph over death. 0:20 The other wise man who didn’t come at birth now came after on the ascent, he would have to be a Piscean, he would have to have a dual purpose like a fish. He was a healer just like the Christ who embodied it in the Piscean Age was a healer but he healed with the mechanical methods which is the dual method whereas the Christ in the body healed with the spiritual method. One would have to be applying spiritual methods to heal and the other would be applying a mechanical method to heal, they would eventually have to meet later only at the point of death, it is written in certain writings that that particular wise man did meet the Jesus on the cross. Now I said before Virgo, the Sun, virgin or virgin birth, Leo the lion is in the moon, house of Judea, royalty, declaring something new, a lion roars or heralds its existence or its presence before it attacks. We must indicate to the world in some way our presence before we can have the right to strike out, this would be practical. In ancient times if a newsman was going to come into the town, a crier as we call them, and indicate some news they will ring a bell to create some type of clamor or sound to indicate to people, “Here I am, I have news by order of the king, or whatever it is, to tell you this.” Gabriel was a herald, a messenger, we see it in astrological symbology, Leo the lion roaring to indicate that. Now you see some other symbology locked up in Christ (inaudible), animals are in the manger, Aries/Ram, Taurus/Bull, Sagitarus is a type of half horse/half man, Capricorn/Goat, born in a manger, the Christ which is Piscean sign in the birth (inaudible) and below the lumbar region is indicated by the manger or cave. Now there is only one sign that is called the subtle beast, we don’t have a serpent in the astrological symbology but the closest thing to a serpent in the astrological symbolity is Scorpio, it carries almost the shape like a serpent it is not. A serpent has no legs but this (inaudible) seems to have a stinger but where is Scorpio located in this whole point of reference? Scorpio representing now in oriental philosophy the serpent is located on the left side of the hear. Now the Christ intelligence when it’s going to herald its sermon from the mount that is the mount in Man, the forehead, Sermon on the Mount, conciousness of the (inaudible) in Man comes up here at the point between the eyebrows and heralds the new to give a new thought, something of value. Now you know this Libra is in the throat, Libra is balance so to give out something new from the mount like the lion roaring or indicating, it’s going to indicate a balance, a balance between certain forces, Scorpio and Gemini are going to be balanced out in the heart center. Now in the Sermon on the Mount there is one line that goes this way, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall God.” Scorpio is the subtle force in this symbology and Gemini represents Man, male and female, (inaudible) because is there not such a thing in the scripture that did not say that Woman came out of Man? So where is Gemini, Gemini is the sign of Man, male/female, when we go on to our future discussion of the Christ in part two, we will show how Gemini will eventually fit into this whole frame of reference from the birth of creation with Adam and Eve. In this Piscean age, Scorpio the subtle symbology must be overcome and in the Sermon on the Mount it states when the pure in heart, they will see God. When Man is pure in heart, he will see God, when he’s not trapped by the subtle pull of desire or the serpent within himself the heart is purified, he will see God in the inner workings when Gemini and Scorpio are lined up. Now when Jesus, which is the Christ in the Piscean Age, fasted on the mountain He had to battle His dual nature, the man in Him, that’s Gemini in the heart and then He had to place behind Him, that is on the left side (inaudible) the subtleties, Satan or Scorpio. When these forces are resolved in the heart, where do we resolve most of our basic problems as they come up in us? You “take it to heart” when someone hurts you, you take it to the inward self and you try to resolve it. Who do you pray for? You pray for Christ, you pray to Jesus the personality of the Christ but when you finally resolve it in yourself where is the pang, where is the actual indication of the feeling, where does it occur? Is it in the top of the skull or is it closer to the heart? Why do you beat your chest? Among us when we were studying to be in the priesthood in the chapel you would beat your chest constantly, “Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me” and we find we are hitting at a center, a focal point for revolving and resolving these conditions. We are trying to resolve our physical self and our higher self by meeting at the heart and the pure in heart does see God. At this stage of the study we’ll use the heart as a center, later on as we continue in these series you’ll see something very important about the heart, why it becomes the resolving center in Man. The Christ Intelligence as we see it in terms of the nativity in astrological symbology is perfect, born in the Piscean age, the Sun in Virgo, the virgin birth and house of Judah, lion, royalty declaring balance, truth from the throat, resolving the pull within Himself between the Scorpio and the Gemini and out of the manger where the animals surround Him and the three wise men seeking the Christ on their journey westward, had to come from the left to the right. 0:30 If you’re looking at this position of the chart it would seem that over here is east, over here is West, the three wise men came from the far east moving across the earth out to the west searching for the Christ and they were led by a star, they were led by that inner light within themselves. Now Jesus when He was in the body made another reference, “If I be lifted up I will draw all Men unto me.” Now if the Piscean sign represents the Christ intelligence in the astrological symbology and it has to be lifted up, where does it have to be lifted up, to what part of the cosmic Man would it move to? (Inaudible) move from the base earth in an upward movement and Gemini represents Man, it will have to go past all these right up to the God center and in so doing it will pull up Gemini upwards. “If I be lifted up,” if Pisces be moved one step forward in this psychic movement you will see a strange phenomenon happening to Gemini. Let us just basically move it one step forward, Gemini will be up here and Pisces will move up, move up in line with the sacrum and if it’s moved up in line with the sacrum then control of the sexual forces is under the Christ intelligent Man. He who governs this particular aspect of his nature lifts himself up to his Godself, he starts the process of self-rejuvenation, the God-man begins to manifest in the material world when he controls his moral lustful nature by lifting up that particular aspect of the astrological symbology. Now what will happen, you will see Scorpio descending down, the subtle is moving down losing its power and what would happen? Aquarius would start moving in, we would have to see the Christ intelligence appearing more dynamically now in the Aquarian Age where the subtle forces are going to be truly unbalanced. When we look back in the Piscean Age we see the Christ intelligence here at the Earth point, Aries the Ram was at the sacral center. Now we also have a symbology that says “The lamb of God taketh away the sins of the world.” When we look into the astrological symbology we see a lamb, the sign of Aries, and that is in the Piscean Age located at the sacral center or the regenerative center. Now when the sexual forces are lamb-like, chaste, unpolluted then the Christ intelligence again is rising in Man then he is resolved then he is transforming his base material flesh into divine flesh, conscious immortality is an actuality now for the Christ-realized Man. No longer does Man have to wish for immortality after death but with a Christ’s intelligence awakened within him then that which is possible through lamb-like, gentle, docile abeyance of these forces, not the lustful aspect, then his Christ’s nature is rising. In astrological symbology we can see that very clearly how to bring about an abeyance of the sex energy by looking at Pisces in the earth center. Pisces represents the Christ in the Piscean Age and Virgo represents the virgin, immaculate birth, and Leo the heralding of the news, also David royalty. Taurus, Aries, Capricorn, Sagittarius all embodied around the manger, the wise men are the three important aspects on the left side in astrology, sagittarius/capricorn/aquarius and on the right side Pisces, these four signs at the end move in to represent the four wise men. Three are on record at birth, one is on record after birth. Gemini is the sign of Man, male/female, Scorpio is a subtle beast. Now as a catholic I’ve often seen the Virgin Mother standing on a serpent and it has always puzzled me why as a child, why does a woman stand on top of the serpent and not only with her right foot but her left foot is pressing on the head, that kind of puzzled me because you can stand on that snake and I know I’ve been around snakes and I’ve seen them, you don’t want to stand on their head too long (inaudible), they’ll bite you (inaudible). But Virgo in astrological symbology is in the sun sign, the light is permeating the cosmic Man. Scorpio the subtle form of the beast is on the downward plot on the right side of the heart which is life. Now what is greater in a woman than her maternal love? This is her great fortress of existence, her heart, the thing that is closest to heart. Now if she is treading on a deadly creature like the serpent, she is treading from the heart feeling, the devotion or the protection against some attack of some loved one, she would not risk her life against such a deadly creature unless there is some loved one involved. Scorpio the serpent is on a downward movement in (inaudible), Gemini is Man and Jesus often referred to Himself as the son of what? “Son of Man,” closest to her heart on the right side of the astrological symbology. We then see viewing it from this aspect the Christ’s intelligence is constantly at work. Now in eastern writing the Christ intelligence is called the “God in Man,” in the Hebrew writings He is known to be called “Emmanuel, God in Man.” Now the intelligence present in vibratory creation, every form of this or sign of this zodiac is a representation of vibratory creation and this intelligence within that vibratory creation has been called by the eastern Saints, “Christ Conscious Intelligence, Christ Consciousness,” not a person, it is a state of being within the vibratory structure of creation, it is the only level of existence within the vibratory structure that can perceive totally the origin and nature of the structure, that’s why it’s called “the only begotten Sun,” not S-O-N, the only begotten light from a virgin, from a pure pristine state, the sun being in Virgo. 0:40 In the Piscean age we have a master key now of studying all the ages when the Christ intelligence manifested throughout all of the ages in the various records of Man’s journey. Think of what I just said, in the Piscean age we have a master key to study all the ages when the Christ intelligence came into the manifestation of the Earth where men have realized the Christ in themselves and tonight’s lecture I will show by shifting the ages and the various men who demonstrated Christ’s intelligence how it balances out when their sun is centered up with the age in the earth plane they were existing. In relation to Jesus we find Him centered at Pisces but there is a statement that goes “Before Abraham was, I was.” “I” who, “I” Jesus or “I” the Christ’s intelligence in all vibratory creation? It is from the study of the Piscean position in the astrological makeup of Man we will see some interesting facts about the other great Masters that walked the earth who brought the Christ intelligence in their own mode of communication and in their particular era or age and their symbology having now a deeper meaning and why it will all lead up to our present day existence in the Aquarian age which we are calling ourselves or supposed to be entering in, what the Christ intelligence will really mean to us within this Aquarian age. Until we understand the Christ intelligence present in the Piscean age and some of the previous ages, we will not appreciate the Christ intelligence returning to us in the Aquarian age, you could not get the true grasp of the magnitude of the Christ power working within each one of us. “The things I do you shall do also and greater things shall you do” because we will see how it lines itself up in the cosmic Man, why greater things we shall do. “Know ye not that ye are sons of God,” each one of us is a spark of the Divine Light and when viewed in the astrological symbology and this relationship especially within the age we are now experiencing a comprehension of this movement, our own Christ consciousness becomes more important to us, it gives us more incentive to want to achieve it here and now. Not to achieve it now it would be like Jesus says “Death is the last enemy.” If death takes over now before you have achieved something about your own Christ consciousness, you have allowed the enemy to defeat you. If you defeat the enemy, that is if you apply your Christ’s intelligence to master the life principle within your makeup then you have overcome them, you can now do as a Master said it, Master Paul, “I rebuke you in your rejoicing for I live and die daily in the Lord.” He knew how to call upon his own Christ consciousness and cause his own mechanism to go through conscious death, conscious immortality of the flesh. Resurrection is the goal of all mankind, we sell ourselves short by accepting reincarnation but reincarnation is a necessary school to propel us into resurrection, life eternal. We can’t appreciate one without the other, we have to have something to compare (inaudible). Now each Master within that Christ state has a specific responsiblity to engage into the group of people He is assigned to but the message is eternally the same, He does not bring a new message, He does not tear down anything, (inaudible due to loud tone on tape then applause). 0:50 And next one tonight is eight o’clock. I think there’s one tomorrow evening at three o’clock. We’re hoping with the help of the wonderful group here in Virginia Beach that when these lectures are over this charts will be put together for the benefit of everyone so that we can really can really come in and study the Christ intelligence in astrological symbology through the ages and to let you in a little sneak preview, wait until the Pisces is in the Sun. Audience: Then what? Adano: Then you’ll be able to prophesize ages ahead of time. Yes? Audience: Do each of these ages cover 2,000 years of time between (inaudible). Adano: Yes, see Sri Yukteswar has actually broken a great enigma in the astrological thinking by opening the doors to the inner astrology for the first time. In the Autobiography of a Yogi Paramahansa Yogananda’s sister was ill and he went to see his teacher asked him to help her and he told him that the sister needed to have an unperforated pearl on a gold band struck to the ankle of her foot and also that the doctors have told her that she would have no children but rest assured that she would have two lovely children. Yogananda said to his Master “Is this an astrological delineation of my sister, her horoscope?” And the Master replied “No this is a deeper astrology based upon the inner Man,” that is which all of us are linked to regardless we know it or not, we are in the Aquarian Age, we’re going to be linked to it according to the setup. If we’re in the Piscean age we will be linked to it within that frame of reference so in order to understand the Aquarian Age, we would have to understand the Piscean Age, that the Age before us, and see it how it fits into the cosmic Man because Aquarius is on the rising but if we don’t establish its location we can’t understand it. How would Aquarius fit into the picture today if we don’t understand Pisces so we have to start back with Pisces and we have to start back with a life of a Christ-realized Master taking that as a measuring point to work out the positions and the symbology, it is must fit otherwise it would be incorrect. So the Piscean Age gives us a perfect master key to study back all the ages of all the great Masters now, you can see it why they they say it’s born a Virgin. Now I know in some minds physically speaking they say this is impossible especially (inaudible) but as we get more involved into understanding the mechanics of nature, the word impossible seems to disappear yet within the astrological symbology the symbols fit accurately within the cosmic Man. Now we have something to look deeper into the Christ’s intelligence with, the outer outer manifestation is the personality, the birth in Jerusalem of Master Jesus but if you look now at the deeper symbology and then go back into the ages when great men came professing the same awareness, we will see some interesting facts about their existence, why were they not then called the Christ in their time? We can understand now that Christ is not a person, it’s a level of existence within the age of time and they’re always going to be Christ-realized too all the time. So Jesus could not in his own frame of reference say that “I am the only son of God,” He never did, the church placed this upon Him by saying He was the only son of God. When we look into the deeper structure we see that the true Son of God is the intelligence manifesting in all the Ages so it’s the only intelligence that will recycle itself all the time and in the next lecture we will show how this recycling will occur. Yes? Audience: This two thousand years being an Age, is that two thousand years as we count time or is that an astrological time like Easter comes (inaudible). Adano: No, we must count it in terms of astrological time so I say solar time because the ancient Man did not deviate from that 28 days is one month then four and a half is 30 and therefore if you divide 30 into 2000 you get that much X years, they have a way of going back and checking it out, they are always guiding themselves by a 28 day lunar month, they don’t deviate from that. Now the reason why we have an extra 24 hours, an extra 40 minutes, which occur periodically every four years now, we call it Leap Year, this is based upon two other Christ-men who were responsible for the shift and we will see that as we go into their studies. Audience: It would be interesting to note that (inaudible) close to twelve thousand years, would that be halfway around the circle with Pisces? Adano: Alright, we are seeing something interesting. Remember they’re not going to change, you can move the clock forward and backwards and they will fall within the seven centers or seven days of creation. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: (Inaudible) to make us realize that there’s an inner anatomy at birth, through his indication that Man has 12 functions going on in this make-up, this top of the head is the Sun, this is the Moon this would never change and the signs of the Zodiac would revolve around on the throat all the time, it’s called the inner elliptical path. Now each human being is born in a particular Age but the Age lasts for two thousand years so if we can establish the Age and establish the personality of the Age, we then have a master key to work with. The best Age is we can take now to use as a master key was the last age which is the Piscean Age and the personality dominating that would be Jesus. The traditional history of it coming through would have all the symbolity involved in it and if we can read these symbologies correctly and line them up in the cosmic Man, now we have the Master key to work for us because it will be impractical to work beyond them. 1:00 If you can remember the events of yesterday then it’s easy to go back day after yesterday and keep going back with more accurate counting in other words more nitty-gritty. Yes? Audience: (inaudible) nuclear physics, the atomic structure and so on (inaudible) vibration can a person become conscious and aware of that vibration, its meaning, and accelerate this process? Things of that nature. Adano: Yes you can because the same Christ intelligence is locked up in it. You see it would be highly impossible to say no when the Christ intelligence is involved in everything but our ability to link into the Christ intelligence is what interferes with it but as soon as we can link into it or lock into it, our own Christ intelligence will trigger it off. “The Christ in me loves the Christ in you” but the Christ love in me will have to trigger off the Christ love in you for me so if we can understand that now, wherever you are located in this frame of reference it will trigger it off. For instance let me point out one thing, let’s say you are born, what sign of the Zodiac are you born? Audience: The 23rd of October. Adano: Well that would place you within… Audience: Libra, Scorpio? I’m on the cusp. Adano: You’re in Scorpio so if you were living in the Piscean Age and born in Scorpio and you were searching for the Christ intelligence, your basic nature at that time would be the lower propensities would not be dominant, the ideas concerning the lower nature, the physical nature will not dominate you as much, the ideas will be more towards a higher nature. In other words you’d be one of the few people at the time quick to rally to the Christ in the body existing to pay homage, you follow what I’m saying? Now if your nature was lower down then that nature (inaudible) would dominate, wherever you are in the age you’ll gradually gravitate to the Christ in form. Audience: Suppose you’re at the very peak of Virgo? Adano: Then you would be one of the few standing around. If you are at the very peak of Virgo I says you would be one of the very people standing around Him, you would be ministering to Him right there, you’ll be present at the original inception. Well there were other women around the birth of Jesus besides Mary you know and they would have to be of the Virgo symbol in astrology because they would be close to that of point of the vibrant life. Now who is the closest woman relative from Mary? Elizabeth and she was the wife of Zacharias who was the father of John the Baptist another (inaudible). He was shouting “Preparing ye the way!” He was like a lion challenging the world, the word John also means lamb in oriental language. Now we have lamb in many other languages and there is a name later on in the series you will see who is the new lion, we will talk of that lion later on. Audience: John was six months older than Jesus. Adano: Just above… he would still be in the Piscean Age, he would be kicking off the Piscean Age, he would be in the Piscean Age. Is there another question? Yes? Audience: Since history does not accurately record the exact year of Jesus birth then our present calendar is not in line with it. Adano: No it would not be in line with this present calendar. Audience: How far would it be? Adano: According to Sri Yukteswar we are already going through the cusp of the Aquarian Age, the Aquarian Age has a 200 year cusp and we have already gone through 200 years of it. Now if you look back 200 years and this is 1976, you would be in 1771. Now five years after 1771 what happened to this piece of Earth we’re standing on? Audience: We became a nation. Adano: But before it became a nation let’s go back another 46 years and see what happened in the European area and this area. The history will start appearing some interesting facts, 246 years of the Aquarian Age already was impressing itself upon us so it is from that reckoning that Sri Yukteswar takes His basis that if you are already 246 years in the entrance to Aquarius, then move back from that point exactly to 4 BC that means you have to walk back in time to 4 BC now and that would establish the birth (inaudible) in which the Piscean Age began (inaudible). Audience: How is the Christ intelligence manifesting now (inaudible)? Adano: It is manifesting both ways, in individuals as a group and in an individual as a fully realized man. Audience: Does that mean for the Aquarian Age there will again come a great leader like Jesus Christ. Adano: Yes but his role may not be like Jesus, his role may be fully realized like Jesus acting out in different activities. You would have a conflict if He came back in the garb of Jesus because we would look at Him and say we don’t accept the beard and the long hair and the sandals (inaudible) as a Christ realized man, suddenly that garb would not fit in the Aquarian Age. Now even if He demonstrated miracles as a means to impress us, we would not accept it easily. Now if He comes in an Ivy League suit with an attache case (inaudible), this don’t fit the garb of how we looked upon Him in time gone by. Audience: Would this be related to the words of Jesus in the last chapter of Matthew? In the King James version He said “Lo I am with you always until the end of the world” but in the original Greek version it’s “Lo I am with you always until the end of the age.” Adano: Ah! Big difference, that is a big difference, “Unto the end of the age” then it shows a different light on the subject that the Christ intelligence will come in human beings in each age when they awaken to it, that the Christ intelligence is always with us all the time, it never leaves us. Audience: But the bible says “I will come as you saw me go.” Adano: Alright, “I will come and you saw me go.” 1:10 Audience: Is that the same body that (inaudible) Adano: The Christ’s intelligence manifesting in any form would manifest in a Christ body. Now every human being in this room including myself has access to that body when we put it on. When this body has thrown off corruption and taken on non-corruption it will come and go at will. Immortality of the flesh is the Christ body that comes and goes at will throughout the end of time. Each one of us has access to that body when we lift up the Man in us and we lift up ourselves. Audience: How about the individual (inaudible), the individual manifestation of the Christ (inaudible). Adano: A woman? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: When we use the term “he” in religious thinking, we’re not thinking of man or males, we’re thinking of a positive principle that doesn’t deviate, it can manifest in both male and female, black, white, yellow, or green. Wherever that individual who has a pure heart and can see God, that manifestation is there but they termed it “he” because in English, not like other languages, we don’t have a way of identifying certain principles in terms of gender, we refer to God if you truly want to be technical you can say God is “It” because the moment you say “he” automatically you think of male, if you think of “she” you think of female and if God is neither form, or unmanifest, or has no personality then you would have to think of “it” and to think of “it” is aliens to a human being because a human being has a form and since he has a form, he would want a “he” if he’s a he and he want a “she” if she is a she, you see how the principle works? So English is very difficult to relate to a cosmic id (idea?) but a personality can manifest in any person once they have that awareness, it is not something that is one type of polarity. That’s why Jesus said, “The things that I do you can do also and greater things shall you do” and “he that seek truth, the truth make you free, free men all, lord of yourselves” but you will manifest your own Christ-self, there is no limitation. Audience: What must the indiviual do to lift up (inaudible). Adano: That is the next lecture tonight (laughter). In part two of the Christ intelligence in astrological symbology will show how to lift (inaudible). Yes? Audience: You make a reference to reincarnation and resurrection, do I understand you to mean that resurrection is the the last stage of the reincarnation? Adano: Resurrection is not the last stage, when you use the word last stage we are talking in terms of finality in the english structure. When we use the term resurrection we are talking of in terms of timelessness, that there is no return, no return to a finite state, you see. That does not say, like Sri Yukteswar said in Autobiography of a Yogi, even those who have resurrected on different realms will remain in those realms serving as messiahs or saviors to those individuals you have to be lifted up but even they would go on to another realm in service. So this res-sur-ection is constantly recycling, there is no end to it. Now Jesus would put it another way, “To him that overcometh I will not send forth a second time but I will make him a pillar in the house of my Lord.” Now a pillar is a fixture, it’s a permanent thing, resurrection indicates permanency, it’s a state where the body reaches permanency, where this particular mechanism can come and go by that Divine Love, unpolluted and would not have to go through breakdown anymore but we don’t call that the final state, that would be putting a limitation to its manifestation that God has reached the final state by making us all resurrected. It is a state of being to which we must aspire in order to perform our God-work properly. In this state we could not truly perform our God-work properly because this state is subject to disease, to cold, to heat, to hunger, to pain, limitation that you can’t even go through the wall when there are no doors and can’t even go from here to New York if there are no planes or trains, these are the limitations upon it but in that body form there are no limitations then the divine service to the creator begins for the first time in a truer sense of the word. The love of the Lord is greater then when there are no limitations upon the physical frame. You know a person with a toothache can’t love the Lord, either he takes the tooth out or curse the Lord. Thank you.
1971 December 18 Part 2 - Christ Intelligence Astro Symbology
Adano71_12_18_2ChristIntelAstroSymbologyQ3RR - For those of you who are here for the first time I’d like to give you some statistics. Reverend Adano Ley is a native of British Guyana, his father was Mongolian and his mother was Chinese, Spanish, and Indian heritage. He was brought up as a Roman Catholic and was trained for priesthood before embracing the eastern philosophies of his Father. He is an ordained minister of the All-faith Fellowship which has a retreat in Tyler Texas. He’s married to Zora Margaret Ley who is with us, she is a practicing chiropractic physician and a director of a Montessori school. Reverend Adano Ley was initiated into the ancient order of Saraswati at that time he was given the name of Swami Nityananda Saraswati. He is lovingly known by his friends as Swami Nitty Gritty because that’s what he always gets to. When he speaks he communicates on many many levels because we’re multi-level beings. I take great pleasure now in introducing to you Swami Nityananda Saraswati, the Reverend Adano Ley (applause). Adano: Thank you. Last time I was here a few hours ago I was asked to speak very loud, I hope you can hear me now. Okay as I’ve always said this is not a lecture for a Swami, there are no lectures for us, it is Satsanga, fellowship with the truth. Satsanga is a Sanskrit word meaning “fellowship with the truth” therefore to have fellowship with the truth we have to align our consciousness and we do that because the mind is restless from being in the outer world, having supper, driving here in the car, wondering what he’s going to say, if we’re going to miss out on something. So the mind is a state of fluctuation and to align the consciousness just center the eyes and let’s align our consciousness (short meditation). Thank you. Earlier in the evening I spoke on the Christ Intelligence in Astrological Symbology, I know this must have took quite a wallop for some people and this is going to be part two, imagine what part one was. Those who didn’t attend part one will find out that part two gets more complicated but we’re not going to make it too complicated, we have a Master key and for those who can see the blackboard please get closer to it. Early in the day we established a cosmic Man and I pointed out that the base of the spine is referred to as the earth center, in all eastern writings base of the spine is often referred to as the earth center in this cosmic Man. Man is a miniature universe in a greater universe and the study of the Soul is also the study of Man and it’s the study of the ages and the awakening and the lifting up of Man. Now in order to understand the symbology astrologically speaking, we have to establish the last age which is called the Piscean age and we have to establish the dynamic personality of that age of the Christ intelligence which is Jesus. According to Sri Yukteswar, a 19th century or 20th century Master who was fully Christ realized, He pointed out that we are in the ascendancy of Aquarius therefore Aquarius being on the other side of the earth sign which is the negative and if it’s in the center it will be moving towards the positive. So Pisces which is the sign ahead of it would establish pisces on the right side of the earth sign in the cosmic Man so this is established without doubt where Pisces would be located for the last age. Now moving up from Pisces we went to Aries which is in line with the sacral center and then to Taurus which is the lumbar center and we notice the rib cage shaped like the form of a cave and within this frame of work of the cosmic Man we find all the animals with their animal forms centered around that area: fish, ram, goat, over here is the goat Capricorn, Taurus the bull, Sagittarius half horse half man, Aquarius someone pouring water, all centered in this area. Now going above the cave point on the right side we have Gemini in line with the heart, on the opposite side we have Scorpio the only symbol that looks like a serpent but it’s not a serpent because we don’t have a serpent in the symbolism but it’s the only symbol that looks like a serpent so Scorpio would indicate the serpent in the symbolism. Then we have Cancer on the right side, regenerative in one way and degenerative in another way: On the right side of the cosmic Man it’s regenerative, on the left side it will be degenerative so Cancer is also known to be a degenerative sign. When it attacks you it starts to deteriorate everything, tears down, that’s why the disease of cancer is a degenerate disease, it feeds on the dirt but we see it on the positive side of the cosmic Man (inaudible) in the Aquarian age. Now on the other side of the throat we find Libra, balance. The (inaudible) pituitary is the Moon, that we find Leo is in the Moon. Now the Moon never changes its position so the Earth never changes its position, the Sun never changes its position that’s the pineal at the top and we find Virgo is in the Sun, everything is governed by the Sun sign in relation to the age, the age is Pisces and the governing sign is the Sun which would be Virgo. So the Christ intelligence in the Piscean age was born of the virgin, Piscean Virgo in the sun sign, its moon with Leo, lion, house of royalty, something that declares before it attacks, it roars heralding the news, “hail ye the virgin, blessed among all women,” blessed among all the signs of the zodiac, about to be born in the cycle of life, Piscean Christ-being. Now they said four wise men went out to seek the Christ: the four important signs of the zodiac are the last Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. Sagittarius is the house of religion, philosophy, teacher. In Hindu philosophy it’s called Guru in the symbolism of astrology. Capricorn is organization and Aquarius is life regenerative and Pisces is the duality, the conflict, facing up to your daily obligations but remember the wise men brought gifts. 0:10 Now if the symbolism fits the gifts then they are all seeking the Christ intelligence. Sagittarius had to bring gold because Jupiter governs Sagittarius, beneficent, over abundant, had to be very very wealthy. The opulence of Jupiter is so great an outpouring and gold is a symbolism of abundance. Capricorn, that particular wise man, brought frankincense, ministry, order, organization, a new order, a new fragrance, clearing up the old, getting rid of the unwanted. Aquarius brought myrrh, something you use at death, life replenishing itself, myrrh is to indicate embalming, to preserve so Aquarius is life preserving itself over death, the Christ intelligence had to demonstrate now His ability of life over death. The earth sign is still the earth sign where the drama takes place but moving on to Pisces the fourth wise man. Now the first three are moving from east to west that is from minus the plus, they are in search at birth. The fourth one didn’t see Him until after death so death had to occur but the fourth one was a healer just like the Master Himself who was a healer. The fourth one brought the gift also, it was called the pearl of great price because there it was often used in ancient times a pearl for healing and the fourth wise man sold that pearl to heal someone. In the Piscean aspect we do give up our sacrifice for others, this is the great sacrifice even the Master Consciousness would do for His fellow man, no better love than any man would have that he would give up his life for his fellow man so we have Pisces establishing the age in the symbolism of the Christ intelligence in the last age and as I said before earlier this is the Master key we will use to understand the ages prior to the Piscean ages and leading up to the Aquarian age where we fit in with the Christ self otherwise we will not understand why the Christ intelligence is with us in the aquarian age and we will be searching for some other illusory figure and missing the mark in this relationship, what is going on in our inner consciousness. We have established Pisces and we will called Pisces the Christ, remember that, Pisces represent the Christ all the time. We will establish Gemini as Man because it’s male/female in Man but if you remember Gemini is twins and if you remember in Adam and Eve symbology where did Eve come up from apart from Man. Audience: Adam. Adano: So where is there an Eve? So why Gemini would fit perfectly as the Adam and Eve in the process. Now Scorpio we established as the subtle serpent, the tearing down force but yet Scorpio is supposed to represent the genitive organs in this symbology of astrology that means it’s supposed to identify with the sex region. Leo the lion, royalty, also indicating the chronicling of the news the declaration of something before it’s done, the roaring of the lion before the attack, the (inaudible) sign is Virgo and that’s the virgin. Now many symbolism you will find they say the serpent will devour the virgin, well you’ll have to locate that too to show you how can Scorpio mistreat Virgo and how can the virgin step upon the serpent and destroy it, how will Virgo step upon Scorpio to put it in its place. In the Piscean age, Virgo is in the sun and Scorpio is on the negative side of the heart and heart is indicating that purity indicating of eternal love, “The pure in heart sees God” and yet the maternal love of the mother is so strong she will put her life in place of her loved one to protect it. Her loved one would be her son but her son is the Son of Man, Gemini, “until the Son of Man is lifted up,” until it becomes moving up from this state and that’s why the Christ in the Piscean age says “If I be lifed up,” if Pisces be lifted up, “I will draw all Men onto Me.” So if Pisces move one level up, Gemini would move one level up, it will go one movement up towards the moon center which would then put the moon or Leo in the Sun center, Man would then be royal. Now if you move Pisces one step forward up, Man would be in his royal state where Man will be coming into his royal state in what age? Audience: Aquarius. Adano: In the age of Aquarius, has to be, couldn’t come into the fullness of humanness let alone his divinity except in the next age following, the Piscean age or the Christ that went before but that comes after, we have to establish the Master key first which is Pisces. Okay we now will establish the origin of Man tonight and tomorrow we will establish the fall of Man before we can see the redemption of Man via the Christ consciousness in astrology. Here is the Earth sign, here is the Moon, and this is the Sun sign, these don’t change. Now the elliptical path in the cosmic Man or in Man himself is the revolving around the seven centers or seven days of creation. Now in your studies with Casey and other studies you might have heard that Man has a physical body, an astral body or electrical body, now astral is star, something to do with the astrological movements, strange that the term astral body and then Man also has a causal or an ID (idea?) body and in composition he has a spiritual body. So if we are seeing a wonderful unfoldment of our astral relationship via the astrological symbols we can see how we are connected to the Christ self that we are never away from the Christ self, that we all started off in the Christ self and we all return in the Christ self, the only manifestation possible, only way back, “None come unto the Father but by Me,” not taken in the personality state but taken in his true cosmological state. Now we established Pisces already as the Christ, we established Gemini to represent Man. In creation if we go to the Sanskrit language we will see their term for the word Father or Creator, they use a word and it’s called “Sat” S-A-T. 0:20 Now let’s think for one moment, the Father is the Creator in english terminology and in Sanskrit “Sat” is the terminology for starting or creating and let’s look at the astrological symbolism which word or which sign in the zodiac seems to start off with something similar to “Sat.” Audience: Sagittarius. Adano: Sagittarius. Now in the Hindu astrology Sagittarius is called Guru, Master, how can something begin in creation unless there being a Master plan, there has to be a Master consciousness to put it together, to trigger it off, creation then begins in “Sat.” Now where are we going? In the Hindu philosophy again we are returning home to “Sat Khan” or “Sach Khand,” we are returning back to the centrum or the creative center which is “Sat” so we say God in Hindu philosophy, “Sat, Chit, Ananda,” the eternal existing conscious bliss and if Sagittarius is Guru and if the goal or the home is Sach Khand, we are all returning to the eternal “Sat,” the eternal centrum but we must understand the start in order to go back and we must understand why we need the Master key, a Christ principle recycling itself in every one of the movements to give us the direction to establish the origin let alone the fall and the return in the astrological movement. So Sagittarius is the origin so in the age of Sagittarius when we establish the age always on the positive side of the earth, that’s where you establish it on the positive side of the earth so we have Sagittarius right here. Now the next sign going up from Sagittarius on the positive side of the clock is Capricorn right? That’s the positive side of the generative organs. Now the next sign going up is Aquarius, that is in the lumbar region, life began in the waters and “Lo there was a firmament” and where does a goat live? On high areas, high ground, close to the clouds as much as possible and in line with the positive side of the heart we find Pisces. Now you see where the Christ would be at the origin of creation? “He sitteth on the right side of the Father?” “Before Adam was, I was,” I’m always on the right side of the Father, the Christ can’t go anyplace but be on the right side of the heart center and we move up to the throat and we have Aries which is the lamb, “The lamb of God take away the sins of the world,” but you see where it’s located, on the right side of the throat, it declares itself. Now in the moon we find Taurus, the moon governs the earth, its crops, its rotation, rainfall, and early Man in order for him to take anything out of the land, to harvest it, or to plow it up you would have to have what? Cattle, cows were the only way Man could plow the ground in ancient times, the animal had to come, Taurus was the moon, we used the cow, oxen plowing. Now the Sun, remember the Sun? Gemini, I said before Man is Gemini, “Male and female created He them,.” In the sun sign, in the pure light of God at the very centrum of the inner cosmic Man, there is Man centered, he hasn’t fallen yet, he’s pristine, he draws now from solar nutrition but if he drops down from that state he’s got to go by way of the moon, in the opposite direction, to draw his nutrition to sustain himself and then we find ourselves in the cycle of reincarnation. Go back to Mr. Casey and look up some of his readings you’ll see an interesting thing how it ties in. Now in the throat on the left side we find Cancer. When Man begins to fall, he’s ridded with plowing and disease, he’s ridded by the sweat of his brow, he’s got to eat his bread, and he’s (inaudible) by disease on the downward movement. Right now we’re establishing Man in his origin so we’re getting some insights into his fall already. The next on the negative side is Leo, you notice the Christ is directly opposite in royalty? Pisces is directly opposite to Leo, they are in polarity? Man in polarity is seeing God, his true royal state, “The pure in heart sees God,” “Sat, Chit, Ananda,” cosmic understanding is flowing through. The next is Virgo, you see Virgo is lined up with the pristine flow of life, the earth is virgin, there’s no pollution, they’re all lined up, rainfall is abundant. Libra, the sexual forces are in balance not out of, linear movement, they’re all lined up in total balance with Capricorn at its highest peak, something that is pure, pristine, the very highest morality possible Man is living now at the start of creation and the last is Scorpio, the antithesis of Sagittarius, God and His devil and the earth sign, the two now are looking down on the earth plane, the perfect balance, left and a right, negative and positive. Sagittarius the Guru, the creative force and Scorpio the adversary or the subtle force set up in its negative polarity, Sagittarius in its positive polarity. Earth is the battleground, earth is a playground. 0:30 Here we see Man as it started in the cosmic symbology, the Christ intelligence established before the Fall, you have from the key of Pisces the last age a way to set it up to observe how it will come out, it will come out accurately and it will reconcile itself all the time, astrology now becomes a very important science in a deeper way. Sagittarius is the age, it was a golden age, isn’t gold a symbol of Jupiter so creation began in the golden age. Capricorn highest morality. Aquarius the firmament, everything is pure flowing regenerative way. Pisces the Christ-self centered the Sun on the right side of the Father. Aries the lamb, the humbleness on the right side of the throat, the voice of God. Taurus in the moon where everything is not dependent on being plowed up to sustain Man, Man does not have to rely now on physical sustenance to sustain himself and the Pisces or the Christ would say, “It is written, Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God.” Man is Gemini in the Sun at the peak, at the highest point, Eden drawing from the Sun directly his sustenance not relying on Taurian methods or relying on Cancer conflicts, these are held in check as long as he stays here. Leo which is the royalty, the divine strength, is balanced out in the Christ. Virgo is on the virgin part where the land is returning to the bowel where you feed yourself, everything is in virgin, there is plenty of rainfall, there is no pollution, no depletion of the soil. Libra, balance of the sexual energies, morality at its highest, there is no destruction. Scorpio, the subtle beast in the field hiding down in the earth plane in the negative or nether regions and it takes Scorpio to throw the whole thing out of kilter now, then scorpio moves, otherwise creation is sterile right here, perfect, no change, you can’t change anything unless one of them make a move, do you realize that? You see why the devil had to trigger off, that’s another name for saying the subtle force had to trigger off the movement to throw the motion. The moment Scorpio moves forward to the earth in contra-action to Sagittarius, we have now the war in the heavens first before the fall of Man and the forces, or the angels as they say, would have to line up. So Scorpio which is a powerful aspect in the astrological makeup, the Christ intelligence would have to move up if scorpio moves across to take the position of Sagittarius and Man will drop down, Man will have to come down. Now if you reverse the position of Sagittarius in relation to Gemini we will see a very interesting phenomenon. Gemini/Sagittarius and if we reverse the position of Capricorn to Cancer and we reverse Aquarius to Leo, Pisces to Virgo, Libra to Aries, and Taurus to Scorpio you notice a strange thing has happened? Gemini is Man, Cancer is in the sexual region, Leo is in the bowel region, Virgo is on the right side of the heart, Libra is on the right side of the throat, and Scorpio suddenly is in the Moon but God is still in the Sun sign, Man has fallen but still Scorpio cannot just get into the Sun sign even with the fall of Man and if you move Gemini even backward to the negative side, Scorpio still can’t get into the Sun sign because Capricorn would be here, the highest morality is still maintained, there is no possibility that immorality can supersede morality, there is no possibility that unrighteousness can overtake righteousness. Even when Scorpio gets into the Sun, into the Sun sign, Taurus would move into Gemini and Moses will come back (Adano laughs). There is no way that the subtle beast can ever trick us in the cosmology or understanding of the inner astrology. If he tries to get into the sun sign to usurp and run the universe, Taurus will move in and Moses will come forth again you see and where would Libra be? 0:40 Libra would be in the Moon, law, but Sagittarius would move down into the throat but then Scorpio goes into the Sun, something has happened to Scorpio, Scorpio take on no longer the degenerate actions but it becomes refined in the Sun sign, it’s the principle of discipline therefore Mos-iac laws come into existence because Libra is in the Moon, the Mos-iac laws begin to exist, the codes begin to come into existence, there just ain’t no way that Scorpio can trine every rotation to get a head start in this creation. Even when it gets into the seat, the central Sun and think it can rule, it opposites of goodness begins to rise again, interesting to see Man before the fall. Now we can see some interesting reasons for the existence of Mos-iac laws let alone for Abraham. All right, if Taurus moves in and Gemini moves up, Man is on the ascent right? If you put Gemini back to where a Man is supposed to have fallen, Scorpio has to come down in the throat. It has a voice (inaudible) of Man’s fall but it doesn’t have dominion to keep Man or Gemini (inaudible). Audience: Wouldn’t Taurus be Abraham? Aries though is the lamb and the exodus is Moses. Adano: Taurus is Moses, Aries the ram. Audience: Well the ram is Moses. Adano: No, the ram was Abraham because Abraham had to sacrifice his son and then he was about to destroy his son the Lord stopped him. Audience: … became a calf… Adano: No, not a calf, a ram. Audience: But Abraham was before Moses. Adano: Yes, he was before, if we move one step forward and put the Scorpio here you will find Moses will come and no matter how Scorpio tries. You see we are looking at it in a backward movement, Pisces then Aquarius, going backwards. Now if they move it forward and put Taurus on this side, Scorpio would go into the sun sign but Scorpio would not be able to control Man or the Earth plane because some Christ intelligence will start manifesting again, Pisces would move down. If Taurus moves across here where would the Christ move into? The Christ would move into the generative organ area, Pisces would move here. Now in the Mos-iac period why Taurus is the symbol or the age and the Christ would be in the generative organs while they were in the desert they were bitten by the snake, the serpent again or the sexual force, kundalini, the (inaudible) practices but Moses had to lift up the serpent. So you have to put Scorpio in the sun sign, the brazen serpent, the transformation of Scorpio would be the regeneration of Man trying to find the Christ by negative methods because the Christ is on the negative side of the clock. Do you remember that story? That those who were in the wilderness they got bit by snakes and along came Moses and built a brazen serpent, held it up for them to look at and then they were all healed? The symbology is in the kundalini practices and at that time when Taurus was on this side of the scale and Moses was in body, the (inaudible) yoga techniques, the kundalini techniques were at its highest practices throughout all the countries. Even in India the practices of Maithuna was developed in that time. All the ancient techniques pertaining to the sex forces were developed and active on the negative side of the scale, they were present and that would put Aries over here at the earth sign and Pisces in the sex sign, it wouldn’t be the true Christ because they would be practicing the arousing of the energies in the lower regions and not trying to bring the Christ up but there would be no way for them unless the person who was the Master which is over here… so let me draw it so you get the picture of why Moses is in Taurus and we will see why Aries is Abraham because there are some interesting facts about that. We will give Scorpio an opportunity to go to the sun sign. Gemini and Pisces… Now we’ll put Scorpio in the sun sign and we will put Sagittarius on the left side of the throat, we put Capricorn and we put Aquarius (inaudible), and Gemini on the opposite side of the sex organ, Man is in opposition to the Christ in the sex region. Cancer in opposition to Aquarius, Leo in opposition to Capricorn, Virgo in opposition to Sagittarius, and Libra in the Moon. Scorpio has a chance, the brazen serpent, you’re using the term serpent but it’s not really a serpent but it’s the only form we have in astrology that looks like it. He’s in the sun sign, he has control over the cosmos yet in the sun sign there is no way for him to pollute the cosmos let alone Man because in the age of Taurus and the age begins on the right side of the earth, there we find the golden calf or the golden cow being worshipped. Yet the Master of the Christ consciousness at that time was Moses. Moses did some very important acts that ties in the symbology for us. Man taken out away from the earth plane and moving on into the sex region upward because he’s got to lift up and the son of Man is lifted up, you’ve got to lift up this regenerative energy but the Christ is on the opposite side and the Christ is on the downward pull so we’re finding that Man is being deluded in that period by the sex energy going down. 0:50 Now it is known in that period of Man that all the life techniques, all the various exercises pertaining to the sexual energy were developed to its highest and many were hurt, that’s why they say the serpent bit them. Now Moses was teaching a form of Hatha Yoga too. In order to help them to prevent their consciousness moving down, now they plow the earth with cattle, they raise the sheep, all their earth life sustenance are maintained by the cattle life and their desire patterns, their Christ intelligence, weaken in a decent activity, Man’s conscious evolution is in that energy area. Disease is prevalent, the life energies are being polluted, the reality of the heart is still on the right side, there is still hope for Man. Leo is royalty, now Moses is the Master, he was in royalty but the interesting thing about Moses, Moses did not descend from a house of royalty, he was adopted into a house of royalty, that would have to be in the heart. To descend from the house of royalty we will see only in the Christ in the Piscean age where the Sun Leo is in the Moon and Virgo is in the Sun as we saw a little while ago when we established Pisces as the Piscean age for the Christ, the moon had Leo and Virgo had the sun. In the Taurean age with Moses as the Master, Leo is in the right side of the heart to reach out, to adopt, to pull in. Virgo is on the right side therefore purity is rising again, Moses would have to purify himself and the throat is considered a parched area like a desert, purification goes in there reaching up to the highest point, going upwards to declare something of value. Libra the Moo, we see that in terms of a scale, law, order, justice. Now scorpio as we said is a subtle force that tears us down yet it can’t seem to tear down because it’s in the sun sign is being refined now from whatever color it is, to brazen in gold. It’s changing, the blazen serpent or golden serpent is lifted up, the serpent is lifted up and now Scorpio was in the Sun sign while in the Taurean age when Man worshipped the calf or the cattle or the image of the cattle as his only source of power and relied on no other form of power outside of them, the Christ intelligence in Moses again predominated and we see in terms of what occurred in the wilderness, each area where the symbology lines itself up in the cosmic land these incidents occur. Now Sagittarius is on the right side and that is again the symbol of the teaching, it’s on the descent but it’s in the throat, it’s declaring something golden, it’s declaring the negative the “do’s,” the “do’s” and the “don’ts,” the “do’s” and the “don’ts,” an eye for an eye a tooth for tooth and the law of karma is very predominant, either you maintain balance or forfeit in the throat area. Capricorn the goat is on the left side of the heart, their organization, we find that when Moses brought the people out and gave them their tablets to lead them and to give them some semblance of organization of government, he was denied by the Creative Intelligence even to enter the handiwork or the place where the handiwork was being formed, into the city where organization is recognized. He have to watch it from afar, he had to be outside, he’s in opposite polarity, he’s not in. Aquarius life energies are becoming polluted, the Christ is not recognized, it’s going down, Aries the ram is pushed down into the dirt. Now let’s see if we move one step forward, this step forward is one step backward in history so don’t get confused that when we say we’re going one step forward, we’re going one step forward in consciousness. We’re trying to establish the ages backwards by moving the clock forward into understanding so we have to use Pisces as a first age to read history backwards and then move that up forward you see to get the next age. Now, so what we did we brought Aries forward now, we brought Taurus forward to represent the Mos-iac period, we got to give the other period now which is the Abraham period we saw when Man began, we saw how Man is caught up in the Christ state, and we saw Man now caught up in the Mos-iac period, we have to see how Man is caught up in the Abraham period. Now Aries is the head, represents the head right? “A-Braham,” a Brahman, Brahminism, Brahman, the head is Sanskrit, it’s the oldest religion. Brahmanism is now taking a new shape, a new revival. Brahmanism has gone down to as its lowest state as Aries because all the Yogas then were in their decline state in the Earth plane so Brahminism is on the decline at its lowest state. Now Brahmanism is going to make an upsurge, a revival, (inaudible) of Brahmanism is born, Abraham coming up now and we see what will happen to Scorpio, Scorpio moves down. Audience: Abraham preceeded Moses. Adano: This why I’m reading the backwards, we just finished with Moses going backwards, now we’re going back to Abraham. We’re looking backwards now and we’re using the clock backwards but moving it forward on the cosmic Man. The clock in the cosmic Man works this way, the outer ring moves forward and the inner ring moves backwards, that is to say the outward movements of the cosmic clock when viewed from the inner realm is on the forward motion. When viewed from the psychological realm it’s on the backward motion so we are looking at something in reverse, we’re looking at the history of Man in reverse by moving the clock forward, this is a one of those type of wheels that go backward and forward. Moses did preceed Jesus but followed Abraham, in that order Abraham is first, Moses is second, Jesus is third, we are reading it backwards: Jesus first, Moses second, Abraham last, that’s all we’re doing, going back but we have to start off with Jesus or the Piscean age to move back to the Taurean age to the Arean age because it’s already set up that to come forward into the Aquarian age. So Aries is here and Pisces is now coming away from the sexual region down into the Earth region, the Christ is returning into the Earth region but it’s on a negative scale, it is on the rise, Brahmanism is going to take a new shape. 1:00 So we have Taurus is in the sex region on the up movement and Aquarius is on the down movement on the negative side of the sex movement. Again in those periods, the sex life, the animal life, the organic life was very predominant, they were predominant in the Ari-an age and the Christ was truly down in its lowest form because idolism is the highest now. Abraham was told to get rid of all his idols and start to search now for something new, something fresh, come forth with something, choose a new area. Moving out now Cancer, we learn how to… Gemini, Man has moved up away from the sex region now to the bread basket, Gemini represents Man, Man is on the up movement now, he’s going up no longer is he tying down here because Aries is rising, a new Man is coming now, a new change, Abraham is bringing a man. Now Man has to be sacrificed as food, you cook food, you slaughter it, you present it on the table and offer it up to the Gods to propitiate the harvest so let us take the son of Man, Isaac is the son of all. Abraham put him on the altar and prepared the sacrificial rite of offering him up. You notice something on the other side? opposition to Man? Capricorn, Capricorn is on the negative side of the bread basket in place of Man who’s going to be sacrificed by the Father, Abraham, now Capricorn is a scapegoat because Abraham could not kill his son Isaac, the Lord would not accept it but He had to put him to the test. Gemini would have to come in line of the altar of sacrifice where you destroyed in order to eat but something else will have to take its place because God does not want a human sacrifice. The Creative Principle cannot accept a sacrifice so we’re seeing now Capricorn would definitely fall and that was the shunting off point. Now Cancer is in the heart on the right side and Sagittarius is in the heart on the left side, the teacher is in the heart but on the left side and Abraham had something in his heart like a Cancer because he had two children: a legitimate and an illegitimate, Aries. In the age of Aries here we see Cancer, something tearing away at his heart though he’s a great teacher, a great revivalist yet here Cancer is eating away. Hagar and her son Ishmael and his own legitimate son Isaac, there we’re gonna have conflict. In the age of Aries it has to happen because Cancer is there on the right side of conflict with which one of the two should inherit the right. Now let’s see, Leo in the throat, one of them has got to be a king, one of them has got to inherit the heritage, one of them has got to take the lineage. Virgo is in the Moon, the child of the woman who is considered barren also like a virgin, never had any children, onto her in the Moon where the menstrual periods are concerned again you see Virgo had to. Now you see why Isaac fits the pattern, Virgo is in the moon, Libra is in the sun sign, balance is established at last again. The legitimate heir is accepted though he comes from a barren mother similar to like one who is a virgin but she is in the Moon, she is not in the sun sign. We see why Aries represents then the age of Abraham, it balances itself out with these positions in the astrological cosmology. Thank you. (Applause). I know I throw a host of information at you in a short space of time and some facts (inaudible). Audience: Would it be of value to assign any time frame to the ages that you referenced for instance the fall of Man? Adano: Well it wouldn’t really matter the time range because you would still have to establish it from the inner clock where they are in terms of the astrological sequence and by establishing it because you will discover sooner or later there is no beginning, there is no end and time does not have a measuring wheel in this process. This is an endless eternity, according to Sri Yukteswar we are rooted in eternity endlessly so it’s going on all the time. We are eternally forever, we’re never going to come to an end in ourselves, we are forever, God has become us, we are in the eternal cosmic cycle, you are forever. You know that statement, there is a TV program going on now called “You are Forever?” We are forever, we are infinite so we are going to continually going through it. The planets may come and go but the elliptical path where they pass through that doesn’t go any place, it’s still that we have to go through. Now these move, these represent the ages not the planets, the planets do not represent the ages, the elliptical path where the planets are at the time they’re in, that would represent the age. So the age according to Sri Yukteswar is more important because it has to do with our own personal development when we come into the Aquarian age to understand it, how we speed up our evolution into the Christ consciousness via the revolution of the consciousness and the vitality along the spinal column but until we can understand the Christ present in the movement and understand the origin of Man in the movement and the ages in where the Christ appeared in the downfalls of Man, we are never going to appreciate tomorrow’s lecture, why Man fell down from the top of the sun. We’re not really going to appreciate that, through these movements we will now appreciate why Man had to fall down because Scorpio was given every opportunity. When creation started on the Earth plane it was balanced negative, on the positive the God self, the Christ was already located in the heart, they’re all balanced out perfect. 1:10 Now He starts the revolution by trying to move this cosmic clock to suit himself, that’s why in Eastern philosophy he’s called “Kal,” he’s the time play, he plays with time, he’s the time confusion, time confuses us all the time so this game goes on. If he moves, the moment he makes a motion forward or backward to get up into the position of the Sun and even when he gets there to the Sun he is defeated by the Christ’s intelligence. The Christ intelligence moves out to counteract it all the time and through the ages we see when they’re lined up why he’s defeated. Now we can appreciate why he would want to tear Man down from his pristine state otherwise we could not appreciate him why he would tear a Man down. You see you would not appreciate why Man would fall from a high state to a low state there has been a fall from the highest state to the low state and the cosmos yes but to appreciate it is to understand why Man seem to be going through all these changes. Now when we establish that in tomorrow’s lecture we will see why in the Aquarium age all the things that occur to Man in the Aquarian age coming out for the first time. From the cosmic clock you can actually see into the next possible thousand, two thousand years the movements in the Aquarian age and from the Aquarian age we can even go to put the Christ in the Sun and from that point we can now have a projection into the next several thousand years and the Christ is in the sun sign, we will see some interesting phenomenas for thousands of years to come. Audience: When Jesus said that “I saw Lucifer fall from heaven,” does it have anything to do with this? Adano: Yes because He’s in the sun sign and where is He at? Pisces, He’s is in the opposite polarity of Lucifer. “Okay brother,” we are brothers, “we’ll take Father (inaudible) and sit up there and I gotta sit in the corner here and wait and see what happen. You’re fall down to where I am.” Mukunda, which was Yogananda, in the ashram of Sri Yukteswar was living there and a boy came in and wanted to be the top dog in the ashram, I don’t if you read the Autobiography, and the Teacher says “All right, Mukunda from now on you go to the bottom of the class, you’ll do the cooking and washing, take care of the place and we can make this boy a big shot and put in the top.” And he became a little tyrant but before you know it everyone, instead of going to him for counsel and guidance, were all going to Mukunda or Yogananda for guidance so regardless of having the highest point, the fall is evident and this occurred in an ashram in a very outward life let alone having it occur now in a deep cosmological movement. Audience: I think explain to them how the delineation of Moses and Jesus were figures that we know in history whereas Abraham and the fall of Man are not personalities or figures that we do know in history. It will kind of clear up some of their confusion about these times. That’s why I mentioned about Abraham, Abraham is a type not a… Adano: See Abraham brought in a revival of Brahmanism and that’s why the Jewish history states its origin as a movement point from Abraham, “Go to the Semitic race,” go away from that side of the earth sign. Now an interesting point on the cosmic Man, on the left side of the cosmic Man is called East, on the right side of the cosmic Man is called West. If we back up Aries into the position of Pisces, it’s on the East, Moses was in the East, Abraham was in the east. Now they had to move Westward so in the time of Abraham he lived in Chaldea and if he left Chaldea he couldn’t go further East because Brahmanism were really rocking then. He’d have to find a new ground, a new terrain, something virgin, something new, the Moon would have to be rising in that area. So he’d have to go westward so he came to “Middle East” so in this movement it will say that astrology really guides our lives, judging from this particular chart we got no say in the matter but we do have a say in the matter and that’s where we come in to understand the Aquarian age because when we get into that lecture we’ll see how we have a say in the matter with astrology. All these things seem to be preset and that we will fall into step with it or how can we alter it, how can we modify it, “The fault lies is not in the stars or Brutus but in us.” We will see how we can change that but we first have to understand where the Christ came in, understand the origin of Man, understand the various ages that Man went through before we can understand the fall of Man. Audience: You mentioned Abraham and Moses, how does Buddha fit into this picture? Adano: Buddha did not start a new race of people, Buddha came to His own people within their own frame of reference and showed by path of renunciation that He can overcome his worldly nature and be enlightened. Whereas Moses was a Jew by origin, born in an Egyptian country, adopted by Egyptians, went out to struggle for his own kind and then brought them out of a state of bondage into a new movement, that is Moses. Abraham was a Chaldean who was told to go out from his own and find a new group of people to start something working, he didn’t work with his own people. Huddha worked with his own people, Krishna worked with his own people, these are different movements. It is when someone who is out in the movement of the cosmic clock to start something different away from their own traditions then we have a different understanding of the cosmic clock. Now we are seeing something that is leading up to the Aquarian age, this country, its founding Fathers were who? Audience: Europeans. Adano: Europeans, they came from where? They made an exodus from one landmass to another with an ideal, to form a liberation of some type, a federation of some type, to give the world something of some type. Wait till we come in the Aquarium age, we will see some interesting facts about this country. Audience: (Inaudible) somebody mentioned some great change as we enter the new age. Adano: Yeah, a great change. When groups of people shift over from the negative side of the earth plane to the positive side of the earth plane, an age is occurring. There is a shift in human movement, do you follow (inaudible)? An age is always recognized to be in process when there’s a shifting of landmarks, a shifting of home boundary lines, home ties for something virgin, something new, the age begins all the time and we see it in recorded time whenever there is a shift. If you go into the theosophical readings you will see a new root race begins and in these new root race these new movements is a shift, we see the astrological ages lining up. Audience: I want to ask if you believe that some signs have more spiritual evolvement than others. Do you believe that people born under certain signs are more spiritually evolved than others? Adano: No, all signs are equal because the fault don’t lie in the signs themselves but lie on us with our own thinking. Audience: Well with the way people respond (inaudible). Adano: No when we are thrown into a particular sign, we’re thrown in there to learn the lesson of the sign. Each sign has a dual function, a tearing down function and a buildup function and we may need the lesson of that particular sign to round out our nature. 1:20 Now let’s say you don’t have in your physical nature, let’s say you were born in Capricorn but you don’t have the flexibility of mind to make quick decisions, think on your feet like the Gemini person, you would have to start developing that born in capricorn, you’re two staid, you’re too regimented. Audience: What would Gemini’s faults be then? Adano: Flights of fantasy, it needs now to take on some of the Capricorn staid stability so we need each one and yet we need to get rid of some of it in the other. Audience: Are we to be faced with the continual cycle of God realization and then a fall and then realization and then a fall indefinitely or can this be stabilized internally to a… Adano: You see how the mind is working? No matter how the mind tries to to get into the sun sign to bring about complete dominancy it don’t. The mind is trying to put everything on a staid condition, the Man is trying to re-establish Sagittarius in this part of the Earth sign and Scorpio in this part of the Earth sign on the Earth plane, it’s trying to put back the two in balance and when the mind, no matter how it tries to bring this back into balance, it can’t stay there because it will start triggering it. Now in the Hindu philosophy they call it the night of Brahman, God will withdraw all His activities back into Himself and go into rest then they end the book right there but one Sage says after the book was closed off there he said, “That is provided Brahman doesn’t want to wake up from His dream.” Audience: Do we have to keep going through this evolutionary process all over again all the time? Adano: We go through the evolutionary process not in terms of the Astral body or the Causal body, only in the physiological body until we establish our true God-self. Audience: And we fall back again? Adano: (Laughter). You know on this Earth there are people who have never made a change in their whole lifestyle and nature and behavior from the time this Earth was created? They were performing exactly the same habits and patterns exactly from the time the Earth was created and Man came in it, they are behaving in the same routine in the same manner and they’re not changing yet something has happened to their whole structure, their bodily structure is gradually diminishing in size because you can stay so long in one place, tapping the resources of that one spot until all its essential values are used up then a slow deterioration or erosion sets in physically, mentally, and then spiritually. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: They are in the jungles of all the world, in every part of the world where there is a jungle you’ll find one individual, a few of them (inaudible). In South America there are many like that, China, Africa, India, Himalayas there are a few who would not change, they are still going on in their own traditions all the time. Yet their stature is diminishing, at one time they were very big and bulky people, over the years and centuries they’ve just diminished and diminished and diminished, nature has a way. Now we will come in contact with them as the planetary movements go around, this is where our missionary actions come in, we do come in contact with them, we may be able to raise the level of their consciousness or we may be destroyed in the attempt or we may have to give up and leave them as they are. Master Jesus one time said this of a group of people, “With these people I can’t do anything,” they just would not change, they are that in consciousness. Now the crystallized God-body would not change too in a real God-body there is no change, it’s taking on non-corruption but let me assure you this according to Sri Yukteswar there is no mass exodus of Saints or mass production of Saints, we may have mass production of athletes, mechanics, doctors but no such thing as mass produced Saint. This is an individual growth and each one is a (inaudible) each one has to be. Audience: But isn’t it true that at least four of the great religions were founded in point of time on regular intervals, say several thousand years apart? Adano: Yes. Audience: Does that have anything to do with astrology, perhaps the founders came at regular intervals. Adano: Yes because the ages are governed, there are only 12,000 ascending years and 12,000 descending years, 12,000 going up, 12,000 coming down. The clock is 24,000 years rotation, this is a 24,000 year rotation, that’s all it is, it’s not 24 billion, it’s 24,000 years rotation twelve 12,000 ascending years and 12,000 descending broken up into the Hindu way of counting: a golden age or a “Sat” age, a silver age, a bronze or copper age, and an iron age, these are the four. They call it “Sat Yuga,” “Treita Yuga,” “Dvapara Yuga,” “Kal Yuga.” We in western astrology prefer instead of saying a golden age, a silver age, a copper age, and an iron age, we prefer to identify with the elliptical path that the planets follow as the age and therefore according to Yukteswar this is more accurate. By using this elliptical path as establishment for it because each one of these has a time position to be in that area and if you go back to Casey it states that the Soul, though embodied in its physical form while on this Earth plane, plane is making sojourns through the elliptical path gathering experiences. Now how is it going to gather experiences if it’s already entrapped in this physical frame unless it’s doing it via its internal electrical mechanism? Now those who are initiates of the Holy Breath, they make this nocturnal journey every day and every night by their daily meditations, they are gathering through what is called a time capsule method. According to Sri Yukteswar it takes one million years for the Soul to traverse the earth plane in a diseaseless body to obtain Cosmic Consciousness, you have to have a body that will last you one million years in a diseaseless state to achieve Cosmic Consciousness by natural living. Well that’s going to take a long time, not possible, Man would ever realize the Christ in himself and the planets are making this journey in millions of years over and over so it’s a long time. Now when it comes to Man speeding up his evolution, he can do this by a certain method that the Sages have discovered because the Creative Intelligence has already placed that method in Man to speed it up, to bring it into manifestation. So Man once he’s initiated into the method, he begins to speed up now and bring on the experiences that would take so many lifetimes to encounter. For the benefit of those who are initiates, every time you make one nocturnal revolution you bring one year’s confrontation into focus in two minutes. What you would have to face a year from now, you’re gonna face in two minutes when you set that thing in motion so if you want to wind it up quicker, you gotta face more, a very fascinating science. Thank you. (Applause).
1971 December 19 Part 3 - Christ Intelligence Astro Symbology
Adano71_12_19_3ChristIntelAstroSymbologyQ3RR - Audience: I’d like to welcome you once again to our gathering brothers and sisters and for those of you this is your first visit, you’re more than welcome and I’m sure you’ll feel the bliss and the joy that each of us do each time that Adano speaks to us. First of all the lectures or not lectures but the talks that Adano will be giving to us on the Christ Consciousness through Astrological sSymbology, this is the third in a series of four of the talks. It won’t be difficult to pick up on what has already been given, he has a chart to start off very well and keep us up to date on it. Adano’s background is Mongolian on his Father’s side and Spanish, Chinese, and Indian on his mother’s side. As a young child he was raised in the Catholic church from his mother’s background and so chose later to follow the Eastern beliefs of his Father, the Mongolian side. In his early training he was also being taught as a priest but then again and as he changed over to the Eastern belief he began his meditations and he meditated for 21 years and in 1969, along with his wife Margaret, was initiated into the household of Swami of Saraswati, the household of Saraswati and at that time he was given the name Swami Nityananda Saraswati. He is now a minister of the All Faith Fellowship in Tyler, Texas where there is retreat and all are welcome to visit and he goes by the name of Reverend Adano Ley. There is really no more necessary to be said for Adano, he speaks for himself and we all love him very much. May we welcome him now. (Applause). Adano: Thank you. I’ve always said that these are not lectures for Swamis, this is Satsanga and at the Satsanga many things are occurring, the mind is restless when you come in so we have to calibrate the mind. One you have a physical contact, two a mental contact, and three an extra sensory contact. In order to calibrate the mind you keep the consciousness of the point between the eyebrows. (Short meditation). Thank you. Am I loud enough? Ok, well we threw in a lot of information pertaining to the Christ Consciousness in Astrological Symbology but I think folks should move over this side so they can see on the blackboard, easier for them to see and understand. (Gap in tape). In the chart we’ll see for those who were not there before and those who were here, this is a outline of the cosmic Man in astrology utilizing the physical body as a reference point. The Earth sign in oriental spiritual studies and astrology is always the base of the spine, that’s where the Earth, the sun is the top of the head, the Moon is in the forehead. Now this has to do with the inner astral body, here’s the word comes again astral body, Man has an astral body, he has a physical body, an astral body or electrical body, that would be the new name now as we come into tonight’s lecture and he has an idea body or causal body. Now the inner astrology works different than the outer astrology, the inner astrology resolves itself mathematically all the time and there is where according to the Autobiography of a Yogi, Sri Yukteswar told his student Yogananda that everyone is deeply connected inwardly, that’s quite a statement, everyone is deeply connected inwardly, you and I are one inwardly in the inner astrology. Now to establish the age you’re in, that is again the incarnation you’re in, we have to establish it on the right side of the Earth plane which is the positive and we established that yesterday by studying the previous age. We are coming into Aquarius but we couldn’t know where Aquarius would come in on the inner Man until we study where the last age was in the inner Man. The last age was called the Piscean age and we are familiar with the personality of the Christ in that age as Jesus and we established some interesting facts why the symbolism revolving around His life stated that He was born in a manger and of a virgin and the heralding of the news by the angel and He was of royalty and also David, Lion of Judea, and some interesting facts were revealed and the child you know, immaculate conception seems acceptable, grow up as an adult in the householder life don’t seem so acceptable but that doesn’t say physiologically that is not true, scientists are going to prove that too but in astrological anatomy or astrological terminology we can see an interesting fact, if Pisces representing the Christ all the time in the astrological symbolism is located on the right side, Pisces is in here, Aries is over here. This is the Master key we have to work before we can understand today’s lecture which is the birth of Woman, fall of Man. Aries, Taurus all below the navel are that particular portion of the human anatomy that (inaudible) like a cave, have you looked at your own physical body? You have like a cave and that’s where it protrudes when it’s pregnant. Gemini, in astrological symbology, Pisces represents the Christ, Gemini represents Man, male/female heterogenous Soul, interesting the twin. Out of Man came (inaudible) but in astrological symbology Gemini is the representation of Man, it’s in the heart center on the right side of the inner Man. 0:10 Now we have Cancer in the throat, the Cancer is a crab having two qualities, a degenerate quality and a regenerate quality depending on what side of the cosmic Man it’s acting. When it’s on the right side it’s regenerative, from personal experience as a boy you cut off the leg of a crab it will grow another one back and there are certain techniques we know in South America to convert the crab into a scorpion. Interesting it’s the only symbol in the whole of astrological makeup that has a scorpion representing the beast and by certain techniques we can monitor that scorpion and direct it to sting you and it’s fatal. This may sound like some weird voodoo yet these are certain rules or laws that do exist and why would it seem to occur that way? Yet here we have an interesting setup in astrological symbology to show certain things can happen. The moon is in Leo: lion, Judea, royalty, a lion roars before he attacks therefore the heralding of an angel bringing in a message and bringing good news, advent, and the sun the clear light is a Virgo: purity, the virgin, so born of a virgin, immaculate, pure, no impurity in the sun sign, the Piscean age is being born coming in at the first apex on the Earth center on the rising side which is positive, which is west. Libra, balance, order being established in line with the regenerative principle of Cancer. Scorpio which represents the serpent or subtle force or the negative charge, the downward pull, is on the other side of the heart but you notice it’s opposite to Man all the time, always going to put you in conflict with yourself and in the heart center, the thing that is closest to you. There are certain feelings that are very close to Man in his makeup that a subtle force will try to tear down. Sagittarius, force and Man combination they call the Centaur or the Archer so again we find it in the lower region with the other animals and we find another creature called Capricorn, a goat, and we find finally Aquarius, life-giving. We have a delineation of the Christ in the astrological symbology coming forth now being born in a manger as a storage place for animals and a virgin birth, a sun sign being in Virgo and the Moon being Leo that means the mother’s side again, she was supposed to come from royalty, the House of David. Interesting, are these symbols just coincidental or are they planned for the age in which the Christ intelligence must appear? The personality can change, Jesus could have been called Avi you know or (inaudible) or He might have been called Chu or Chang or Smith but nevertheless the names won’t make any difference, the Christ intelligence would have had to flow in the Piscean age from the inner Man that way. We see once we’ve established the Master key, we can then study the ages behind that went on or ages ahead of us, we must establish the Master key to find it. We must establish the symbols that represent so the Pisces represents the Christ all the time, the Gemini represents the Man all the time, the Scorpio represents the subtle beast all the time, Leo royalty, Cancer regenerative or degenerative, Libra balance new law/rule, Virgo pristine/something new, untouched, unpolluted. Now we find three other interesting names, in Hindu philosophy Sagittarius is called Guru meaning teacher. Now they said there were three wise men who came from the East in search of the Christ, we will see three wise men because in astrology there are four signs that refer to the spiritual signs: Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces but the first one brought gold. Well naturally Sagittarius is the beneficent sign and unto it is the planet Jupiter rules and gold is governed by Jupiter so we see that Sagittarius is that first wise man. Capricorn representing organization, ministry, we see now frankincense, some material substance that gives a sweet odor and Aquarius the sign that represents life giving brought myrrh, something you use at death to preserve or sustain life after death or preserve. So aquarius represented myrrh as the mastery of life over death. The Piscean wise man, there was a fourth wise man, three came at birth from the East to the West in a movement east to west in search of the Christ child. The fourth wise man came at death, that would mean he’d have to come after Aquarius, he was he brought another gift. History tells us and certain writings tell us that fourth wise man brought a pearl then the reference “pearl of great price.” Well if you look into Pisces it’s a water science, a marine life and pearl usually come from marine life and pearl is used in healing in the oriental countries. In Sri Yukteswar’s instruction to Yogananda in the Autobiography of a Yogi concerning Yogananda’s sister’s illness, he told him to get an unperforated pearl in a golden clasp and attach it to the foot and it will prevent paralysis which the sister was suffering from and she was healed, we have some interesting relationship. Now this is the Master key of the last age and we are constantly celebrating the birth of Christ all the time not understanding the deep significance but from this Master key we can understand previous ages going right back to the birth of the universe, the birth of Man, the birth of Woman and the fall of Man, the redemption of Man, and the future of Man. Today’s lecture, yesterday we went back and covered some of the fall, some of the various civilizations in biblical time and how they fit into the symbolity. A brief review, we know that Moses came in the age of Taurus because the golden bull was revered, the symbolism is the bull and if you put Taurus here this represents the age and move Gemini to this position, Man is in the sexual region, and if we move Cancer, Cancer is in the dorsal region or the navel region and then we put Leo in the heart center and then we put Virgo in the Moon, we’ll have to put Libra in the sun sign, your Mos-iac code, Virgo represents law, the Mos-iac. 0:20 Scorpio would be in the throat, it has a great say but let’s look at some interesting things if we write it out and go over it again just to get a brief review of the positions it’s better to write it out so you can see it clearly and then we’ll take the Birth of Woman / Fall of Man. (Writing on blackboard) Here is Taurus, here is Gemini, here is Cancer, here is Leo, here is Virgo, here is Libra, here is Scorpio, here is Sagittarius, here is Capricorn, here is Aquarius. Audience: You missed one of them. Adano: Yeah, I missed out one, which one is it, Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, (inaudible). Audience: Capricorn. Adano: Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Got it? Okay, the age of Taurus in the Mos-iac time, now Moses came and you notice the Moon is in Libra, a new law, and the Sun is in Scorpio, the subtle force or the brazen serpent being lifted up. Now no matter how the subtle force, the dark force will try to run the universe and the throne of God or the central Sun is the creative force, whenever it gets up in there, it becomes transmuted, the light of the Divine Consciousness transmutes the darkness. Now Gemini, Man is in the sexual region, Pisces the Christ is in the opposite side, it’s in that period of the Taurian age all the sexual practices were developed to awaken different type of psychic phenomena because the energy was going downwards, Pisces was going down, more of the earthy nature of the two animals Taurus and Aries were very predominant. We find that Man, idol worship, images, involved themselves with perverted sex acts or imitating acts, awakening false ideas about kundalini the life energy and got bitten by the serpent and I used to see as a boy and you turned a picture of Moses in the desert and a whole host of Israelites all bitten on this part of the leg by a serpent, I didn’t know why here, it says “up to the groin.” Well to understand it you see the strange setup in the inner Man, they were working on the principles of yoga awaking the life energy but it was distorted because it was pulling down and then Moses, the Christ in the man, the Christ in that particular period gave them the brazen serpent by raising it up in the desert so Scorpio which is the symbol that looks like a serpent is in the sun sign, brazen means it’s golden, polish, brilliant there just ain’t no darkness in it now, everything is wiped out, it’s the redeeming principle. Scorpion can be degenerate and can be regenerate and we have his companion, Cancer that can be regenerate and degenerate and as I said as a boy we knew of a technique of how to change a crab into a Scorpion but we never knew how to bring a Scorpion back into a crab, this was one thing we never learned but it is possible by a certain way to do it, physically speaking. Now interesting how in the Taurean age that Scorpio should end up in the sun sign and the brazen image lifted up as a redemptive principle. Taking the Piscean master key and studying it backwards now into the age we can study the Mos-iac age, the Mos-iac period. We see Libra representing law, the Moon that governs the earth, the predominant force that influences all activity, the Do’s and the Don’ts of Sagittarius the teacher comes in now, Virgo the virgin we see now that a new set of people have to come forth to have a new voice, Israelites being taken out from Egypt, it’s the first time they’ve come out of bondage. Yet Moses is a prince but not born a prince, adopted into the house of the Egyptians so Leo is in the heart center on the right side. Leo is royalty so then the Master or the Christ intelligence was an adopted being but opposite we have Capricorn which is he was made a scapegoat and had to flee out of Egypt because there’s a story that goes he fought with an Egyptian and have killed the Egyptian and then he was forced to leave Egypt and go out therefore the heart is affected which is the central point. Now we say the Christ is in Pisces well we have this as a guide, today’s lecture now we can take. I don’t want to go into Abraham which is the fault, the one that’s coming up behind you see that’s the age of Aries but let’s go on to the the origin of Woman and fall of Man, this brings us a little understanding of what today’s lecture involves. We know that Gemini represents Man, that is both male/female so we have to locate on the chart Gemini but we must understand in the origin of Man or origin of Woman now, they said Woman was made from the what of Man? Audience: (Inaudible). Well let’s look for a location in the cosmic Man that would represent the rib area either right or left. 0:30 Now right would have to be awake, left would be asleep on the negative side so we put Gemini and the Lord calls a great sleep to come over Man in that period to bring forth Eve the Woman from the rib of Man splitting for the first time the two forces up of the Soul, male/female. Now if we go down the scale Gemini, next sign after Gemini would be Cancer and the next sign going down would be (inaudible) and the next sign coming up would be Virgo, sign of the Woman, Woman being born coming forth. Libra, you notice where the subtle beast is situated now? On the opposite side of Man, He’s going to tamper with the Woman to cause Man to drop down. Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, you see where the Christ is now? The Christ in the sun sign, Aries, Taurus. “Before Abraham was, before Adam was, before Eve was, I was and even into the nether regions I am Alpha and Omega,” Christ, the nether region (inaudible), the Christ is still ruling in the origin of Woman. Strange, the subtle force is on the right side. Now the subtle force is attacking where in the Woman, where in Man? Only that part that is in lower regions, only that part which you call solar plexus or pseudo brain. This is not a real brain, it acts like a brain sometimes and in astral projection shedding the body and seeing the self being naked or nude, devoid of the body, that’s why they fell you know, that’s when they were tempted, fell and they told the Lord that they no longer cannot face Him because they were nude. He says, “How you know that? Who told you that?” Scorpio is going to affect Gemini in a strange way, this is the origin of the Woman now, Virgo is under (inaudible) and the Christ intelligence is ruling supreme in the Sun center. We’re gonna create a diversion to upset the apple cart, we are told when the Woman is in the garden it was to be a help mate to the Man and we are told that they were supposed to eat of the fruit of the garden but not the one in the midst of the garden. If this is the root of a tree then the fruit is lower to the bottom, Man is like an upturned tree, the roots are in his head, the nervous system runs down like branches in reverse to a tree which which is out this way. We are going this way, we are drawing sustenance from the brain, from the cosmos like the roots draw sustenance from the ground. In this age the Christ is drawing sustenance directly from the Sun, the regenerative Man the true Christ Man does not need no food, no sustenance from Earth, not even in the nether region, He is drawing it strictly from the inner source of consciousness. Now the subtle beast is going to set up the motion of desire within Man so when you have a desire your stomach starts to churn, a craving begins in the stomach, in the bowel area for something, you want something, you don’t know why and if you don’t get what you want you go put something in your mouth to eat. Ever get frustrated to the extent that you can’t explode with your frustration? You got to go put something in the mouth, it’s a toothpick or a cigarette or a cup of water or coffee or alcohol something has got to go in to veer them out, strange yet an action is starting. Scorpio is going to tell Gemini, “If you eat of the fruit that is in the midst of the garden you won’t die.” Aquarius is in in the moon, Aquarius would regulate the function of the earth and regulate the function of Man or Woman and especially in the lower region of the physical frame it will regulate the menstrual cycle, it would regulate labor. “You won’t die, you would have a knowledge, a knowledge of life, of good and evil,” only a knowledge of good and evil but not a knowledge of life and death. It didn’t say to Gemini, Scorpio did not say to Gemini you would have a knowledge of life and death, that that you have a knowledge of good and evil, it’s a big difference, having a knowledge of good and evil and having a knowledge of life and death because only the Piscean or the Christ knows the knowledge of life and death, they are together now in the highest state in the formation of Woman and before when He was redeeming them, Pisces was here and Aquarius was over here in the Earth realm, remember we started out with that? That Pisces was here representing the Christ and on this side we had Aquarius the life principle, the third wise Man? Now they are close up in the Sun sign in the central portion of the brain and they are in harmony, in unity, so everything is in alliance so the Tree of Life is up here, the Tree of Good and Evil is down here. Scorpio is going to trigger off this action, desire is going to trigger off feeling now in modern terminology so we’ll shift and this is what they call “Fall of Man,” a downward movement. Gemini will down down in the sex region, feeling is going to be stimulated by Scorpio the subtle force, desire, to reach out, to experiment with a form of creative energy. Not the pure creative energy of consciousness but the storage battery of creative energy in the lower region so Gemini moves down into the sex region and Cancer moves into the outside. 0:40 Now you notice Cancer is supposed to be a degenerate and a regenerative symbol, if it moves into the Earth sign into the negative side disease will come forth by mal use or misuse of Man’s knowledge of the sex energy. Leo has shifted over to the positive side, Leo is on the ascent. Virgo is on the right side, Woman is on the right side but being pulled down. Libra the scale, the balance, is being tipped either to go up or to go down but look where Scorpio has positioned itself? The thing closest to the heart it attacks, Sagittarius the Guru has gone up into the throat and the Moon of my delight, the apple of my eye, is Capricorn the scapegoat. Man is made a scapegoat now by believing in Scorpio which attacks him closest to the heart, his other half but the Sun is in Aquarius. Still Man doesn’t learn life over death, all he got now is the knowledge of good and evil because the Pisces, the Christ, has moved on into the throat and Aries, “Behold the lamb of God will take away the sins of the world,” it has to go forth now. The Christ will have to go forth as a lamb to redeem the fall and then Man must plow the ground to feed himself because the Christ has shifted. Man in his pristine state, Women in the pristine state were drawing from that source but now they shift down and they have to plow the earth by the sweat of their brow, they’re going to eat bread. You see how we are constantly affected from an inner astrology more so than an outer astrology? Each one of us basically is living a rise and a fall every instant inwardly and each one of us will redeem ourselves and lift up ourselves. Now in the Piscean age Pisces was over here and Gemini was over here and Virgo was in the Sun sign and it states, “If I be lifted up” that is if Pisces move up towards the Sun center, if the Son of Man be lifted up, “I will draw all Men unto me.” “If I be lifted up, I will draw all Men unto Me.” If Pisces moves up Gemini will be redeemed but we see here Pisces has to come down to go and make the whole circle to pull up the fall of Man. The fallen Man is redeemed every time the Christ go forth as the lamb, the sacrifice, to bring back Man back to his pristine state. Now he’s fallen only because we say the birth of Woman caused it to move, now don’t blame the woman physically, these are laws that we are just living out (inaudible). Now let us look at an interesting fact before when Man was created in the pristine state, we will put Man in his pristine state, that is at the top of the cosmic Man, we place him there. Then we will place the others in line: Cancer, Leo, Virgo, you see where the woman’s appearing? Libra, balance in the sex region. See where the subtle force is supposed to be at the base of the Earth hidden on the nether side, negative side and now let’s see where the opposite force, the God-self, because God is “Sat” in Hindu theology, Hindu philosophy, “Sat Guru,” “Sat” means eternal self. Capricorn, Aquarius, see where the life principle and the Woman principle are positioned? Aquarius then we have Pisces in the heart, the Christ center again on the right side of the heart but it’s in line with Leo, the Son of God is on the right side ruling because it’s the only begotten Son. A son is a prince, a king, representative of the Father who is the ruler. Pisces, Aries, Taurus. Man in the Age of Sagittarius which is the birth of the universe or golden age as you would say, “Come let Us make this whole universe,” Man when made after all things were completed in the Sun sign we find Gemini in his pure pristine state, the universe is complete. He’s at his peak, here he is a solar being, “Come let us make Man in Our own image and likeness, male and female create He them,” androgenous being, “And God breathed into Man the breath of Life and Man became a living Soul.” Man is Soul, he doesn’t have a Soul, Man draws from the solar force directly into his body the energy he needs, the Christ reminds us of it on the sermon when He was up in the mountain going through the temptations and the first temptation was food. “It is written Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out in the mouth of God” it is written. 0:50 Now this is a quotation by Jesus from some source, a knowledge of something that is existing anti-dating Jesus so Man in his pristine state draws energy from that central Sun, the yogis have a technique of drawing the (inaudible) energy from the top of the brain to feed the body without eating. At a certain level of your growth as initiates you are taught that technique of absorbing the energy through the brain. These techniques are not new they are all existing within us as we become aware of them and turn them on but here in the pristine state is Man and we saw that the Christ is on the right side, Leo is royalty, he’s prince, he is the apple or a portion of their heart. The Father always fears for his son, the thing that is closest to his heart because he’s going to take over and run the place so the only begotten son has to go up, Pisces in the whole symbology is the only one chosen to make the redemption. Now Pisces symbolically looks like two fishes, one going in each direction. In oriental symbolism when a male child is born, they hang a flag out and on that flag there are two fishes or a fish to indicate he has to travel through the tides of confrontation, the channel, the subtle currents and become strong and lead and when the girl is born they put up a symbol of a doll, Virgo, life Aquarius on the opposite side. So we see interesting facts of how this thing is resolving itself that when Man in a pristine state in Gemini the Christ is on the right side of the Lord. When Man falls down to where Scorpio is, the subtle beast. Now Scorpio is not a bad sign, don’t view it in that sense, Scorpio is the direct opposition of the negative to the positive like two plates, you can’t have a positive without a negative and make a photograph. Sagittarius is the birth but he needs the opposition as balance, we need the adversary to stabilize this whole cosmic pattern. Now scorpio is envious that it can’t create like Sagittarius, the subtle force of desire when moving out is envious or rebellious that it can’t create from within like a dynamic principle of God. Now with all its envy we can even give Scorpio an opportunity to go way up to the Sun sign and let him be the king of the universe and something has happened to him. Take him out of his base region and put him in his most pristine region, he can’t be evil because Moses demonstrated that in a Taurian age by lifting it up to the highest point, he was a transmuter, he was a redeeming force. In the cosmology we see there is no way that this creative intelligence Jupiter made a mistake of allowing anything to take over, he’s got every safeguard built in that everything will reconcile itself, this is truly looking at cosmic energy recycling itself, a true conservation of forces going on all the time. Within each one of us we are connected but in the symbology of astrology we see it, in tonight’s lecture the Aquarian age which is the final that we are coming into, the symbology will be presented and then the new terminology presented for modern Man to see it and he will see something pertaining to the future of Man. Thank you. (Applause). Audience: Would you like to stand up and stretch and then I’m sure Adano would like to answer questions for you. (Gap in tape). Adano: I’ve been asked to state that there is meetings after these lectures are over tonight, those who want to get together and we will be discussing initiation and meetings are in Virginia here with folks who are initiates and for regular meditations. So after the lecture tonight those are interested in the initiation talk with (inaudible) or myself, we will be glad to discuss it, the possibility of initiation. Thank you. Any questions? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes there will be in the alcove there some paper and pencil who can’t be tonight and who would like to have some information regarding our work. They’ve been mailing you, keep your name and address and we’d like to mail you more information. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Oh the picture, isn’t He a marvelous man? That’s Christ of the Aquarian Age, it’s not a painting, it’s an actual photograph. Audience: Christ of the Aquarian Age? Adano: Yes. Audience: When? How was it made? Adano: In a chapel in South America there were a group of people praying and the minister or priest who was leading it prayed for a direct materialization of Christ, nothing short of it on Christmas day while they were having a group prayer meeting. Nothing short of direct materialization in that church, nothing short of that, they had to whip up enough devotion to get it because he believed that if Christ is in the resurrected body, He can come and prove it to them as he did to the disciples in the upper chamber. It so happened at that very moment there was a Baron from Germany with his young son visiting that area and the young boy he was the only one had a camera and in 1963 when they were praying so hard, lo and behold in the middle of the church there He stood and the boy photographed him. I’m very happy to be proud owner of the picture, it’s a copy of the original. Now I know for the Aquarian Age this is a great treasure. Audience: (Inaudible), but I never dared because I didn’t know what He looked like but when you first put it up there I was sure it would be Him. Would there be any chance of getting a copy? I could take a photograph of it. Adano: All right, surprise yourself. Audience: (Laughter). Adano: You know it has some peculiar qualities (inaudible). Remember this was generated out of love by human beings in the 20th century, not way back in some remote time and it was not painted by imagination, modern photographic equipment took it. 1:00 So the build up was a tremendous experience for those people and I and my wife we feel ourselves very fortunate in such a minute way to be able to have it here and we wanted it as a treat for the Virginia Beach believe me others have not had the opportunity. You’re really blessed for us to bring it, to show it, and we would have it for our Christmas meditation but that’s what we got., I know the picture speaks for itself. Audience: Are there any specific colors that go or are representative of the different signs of zodiac? Adano: Yes there are and tonight we’ll cover that in the Aquarian Age, the new terminology. Audience: Are you going to go into numerology? Adano: Well that would take us pretty long into the night you know, it would have to go on to some other lectures. The idea of tonight’s lecture is the Aquarian Age and how to view the astrological symbols in a new terminology. Remember this, we have an astral body, we have a physical body, we have a physical cosmos, and we have an astral cosmos or inner cosmos but we also have a third one, an ID (idea?) cosmos. The astrological names will take on their new names tonight to represent the ID (idea?) cosmos, what are the true ideas. You will not see them and recognize them as Capricorn or Scorpio or so forth, they will have their true ID (idea?) name because in the Aquarian Age we’re going into the very core of the atomic structure now and the deep psychological impact so the names are going to be far more significant to us from the idea realm, the spirituality would be more meaningful. I know the idea of astrological names being used tends to throw off a lot of people as to Christ being involved in such a thing. Audience: Is Hoffman’s “Head of Christ” similar to that? Adano: No, it’s a very good head of the Master but this is not. Audience: This is of this age now, it was taken when? Adano: ‘63. Audience: 1963. In other words when He manifests again this is what he looks like? Adano: Well I sure hope. (Laughter). Audience: Astrologically speaking (inaudible). Adano: Well if you put Pisces in the Sun center and we remember Leo was in the nether region or the other region, the dark region, coming and going the Christ in its pure state when it’s awakened in us, all darkness goes out of us. So when we look in and see the Christ fully centered in the Sun center of Man, each one of us when we have that inner experience every smidgen of darkness goes out of us. It’s that coming and going, it’s not the personality no more, it is that realization that comes in. The Christ is saying to us in that personality of Jesus that when each one of us take on this regenerative principle upon our consciousness, upon that Sun center, even the nethermost region where all ideas would be on the negative side would subside, even that will go out and the whole body will change over. If the astrological symbology in the cosmic Man can show you that by lining it up that Leo would eventually end up here, royalty, something good, then if you take this state of awareness psychologically now every smidgen of desire that is detrimental to you has to go out. The thief on the cross is one such individual so if you see me the same way I go as I came, it’s more than just that. If we want to see the Lord descending out to the clouds, I hope you don’t want that because such a mass conversion is not genuine out of fear. If we saw the great intelligence coming out of the cloud and “Lo and behold this is the day of judgment you earthworms,” everybody is going “Please Lord, I’ve been very good, I’ve been following that guy called Adano.” (Laughter). Do we wonder? He might be one of the false prophets that you mentioned to beware of. (Laughter). Audience: In Revelations when it says that Satan will be found for a thousand years, is that also in that time? Adano: Yes that’s when Scorpio goes back into this corner. Man is in his pristine stage, Man will live, now Man will live physiologically speaking his complete thousand-year purity in the physical body. Babaji, a living Master, an Avatar, lives with a physical body give and take a few hundred years let’s say 900 years. He’s still around, He hasn’t given it up, His body is youthful and alive, He draws from the cosmic energy. So if that is cosmic Man, that’s the pure Man, then Man returns to his pure state, it’s where he came from. Now Methuselah lived how many years? Audience: 500. Adano: All right we see these years are measured in solar time of 28 days to the month, 13 months to the year, give or take a day or two, 344 or 345, still a thousand, it makes no difference. Point is, in his pure pristine state he’s entitled to that thousand years then Scorpio will have to try to pull him down but in the meantime he’s there to live it out in service to the Creative Intelligence and Scorpio will stay over here subdued. Audience: Where does it all end? (Laughter). Adano: You know what He said, “Not one jot or tittle of My words will pass away, though Heaven and Earth shall pass away this is a world without end.” It other words there is no end. Thank you. (Applause). This person has a question. Audience: Tell us about the forth Wise Man? Adano: The fourth wise Man was a healer and a king in his own right and he set out, he had the awareness that the Christ was being born and he set off from his home bringing a pearl which was used in healing. Centuries ago they always used the pearl, they crush it up to make medicine and everything. In your future use of medicine, precious stones will be used in tinctures to heal diseases. So the he was bringing this because he used it in a homeoptic method and in various other methods and it was one great pearl as a gift to the Christ being born. On his journey as a physician, he couldn’t turn his back or his eyes against the suffering humanity crossing to the West. You know in those days you don’t go by locomotive you go by donkey or camel so especially you have to pass through the deserts and see people dying from various diseases, a physician at heart would have to reach out in whatever limited way he has. Nevertheless this gift was the one gift at great price he’d saved it, he’d used it so many times. Finally he had to dispose of the gift to save the life of a little child. 1:10 At the very moment he disposed of it, the Christ in the body made a remark about it. He said openly to the crowd, “The least you have done onto one of these, you have done it unto Me.” He was emphasizing bio-telepathic understanding and by His cosmic understanding the fact that this was occurring in time and it was being given up for him. Now if we can give up something that is so precious to us as a service to the Christ-self in the form of another human being, you’ve done it to the God self. If you reach out and help someone no matter how minute with something so precious to you, it has been done to the Christ-self and that was the fourth wise man’s life but he didn’t arrive until He was on the cross you see, he came after Jesus was already on the cross. Audience: Thank you. (Applause then gap in tape). Adano: Thank you very much. This is the last of the series and I hope to pack it all in and really give you a bombshell. Let us align our consciousness (short meditation). Thank you. I know we’re all aching in the breeches or chomping at the bit to get on to this last Age, this is the Age of Aquarius but before we go into the Age of Aquarius let us just review a few seconds of a few important things. I was asked yesterday and today again about where does Buddha and Krishna fit into all these. Well I’ve been keeping it for the last you know because they’re very important. We all know now from the few lectures before that Moses came in the Taurean Age right and also he lifted up the serpent, he gave forth a great rule, a Mos-iac law, and at his period there were great experiments in the sex energy by various schools of thought trying to arouse it. Interesting as it may seem, if we line up Buddha you will find that Buddha came in a Taurian age. From all the facts surrounding the life of Buddha we will see how He lines up in the Taurean age but before we line it up, we were saying earlier in the evening that Pisces is the Christ and in the uplifted Man when Man is in the pristine state, the Christ has power over all forces. You notice that Pisces is in the Christ on the heart side is above Aquarius which is life, which is water? What was the first miracle that the Christ did in the uplifted Man? Audience: He changed water into wine? Adano: What he did when the ship was about to sink? Audience: The storm? Adano: We’re seeing some interesting things huh? All right let’s line up again for Buddha before we take Krishna. As I said before Buddha had a similar age like Moses so Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries. Now Buddha is the Billy Graham of Brahmanism in his period, Brahma the what? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Brahman bull, you are familiar with the Brahman bull, holy cow of India, Taurus. He was a prince, not a king, was a royalty, Taurus. Audience: How long before Christ? Adano: In the astrology they take it from their reckoning of His birth in terms of their reckoning that He was of the Brahmin caste, they reckon on the inner Man to line up Buddha. That’s why we have to look at it in a Western view of Buddha, it’s a little different than in the Oriental astrology and the western astrology but to line Him up according to the chart we have to line Him up in terms of Taurus which is the bull because He is in the Brahmin caste, he is a royal birth and therefore to start Him off as the point of reference we have to use it as Taurus so it’s a little difficult for the Eastern reading because their symbols in their astrology differ than the Western symbols. See they use the rat, the cock, the rabbit, and a few different symbols. Now Taurus would be for the Brahmin bull, Brahmanism is on the upsurge, it’s a revival going on but if the incidents are rounded on the inner Man it’s important. He is of royalty therefore He’s lined up in the heart, He’s a prince, He’s not a king therefore there’s a big difference between Buddha now and Moses we notice was a prince of the royal house of Egypt but was not a king either therefore he’s on the right side of the heart, it’s precious to the throne but (inaudible). 1:20 Now Moses gave forth law or balance, that was in the Moon. Buddha gave forth the eightfold noble path of a spiritual discipline, Libra is in the Moon. Now Moses raised up the serpent indicating the awakening of the life of the psychic powers, the awakening the regenerative principles, the awakening of the kundalini, and the renewal of that consciousness. Buddha was called the Enlightened One because He was called the great renunciate. Scorpio is supposed to govern the subtle force, the sexual region, and when it is absorbed, it’s renounced, it’s celibacy it takes on the role of regeneration so He too lifted up in Scorpio being in the Sun sign therefore Scorpio in the Sun sign in a deep spiritual significance represents desirelessness. Buddha now shows that He was the desirelessness, He taught non-attachment, He taught detachment, He taught the great renunciation by living out the life of the great renunciation, He is emphasizing Scorpio at its highest point. As I said tonight we’re going to identify these symbols in terms that would be more familiar to us psychologically speaking. So Scorpio in the Sun sign for Buddha brought enlightenment, desirelessness, the one desire for God only, no other desire, non-attachment, Nirvana. He was a Brahman so the sign is in Taurus, He was a prince, Leo, and He gave forth the golden rule, the Eightfold Noble Path which everyone in Buddha religion or Buddhism do follow the Eightfold Noble Path so we see it can be tracked out while He’s there. Now we want to go to Krishna and just line Him up and see where Krishna fits in then we come back to the Aquarius Age. So Krishna was literally a king not a prince, literally was a king, crowned and ruled a certain part in India. When one literally is a king then he is in the Sun sign would be Leo, you gonna see some interesting things now. So His favorite consort was Radha, a virgin, we never see Krishna without Radha. She was a virgin, it was His beloved of all the devotees and she (inaudible). He gave a wonderful discourse between desirelessness and non-involvement and it’s a great compassion, people know it as the Bhagavad Gita, the discourse on the battlefield. Scorpio is centered in the middle part of the body and represents the subtle force, desire. It’s not located in the sexual region therefore the basic appetites, the basic desires are being held in check. Sagittarius is in the sex region and Capricorn is at the base of the feet at the Earth center. On the right side of the Earth center Aquarius is appearing, strange huh? And on the right side of the sex region Pisces and lumbar. Aries is not only humility but also is often associated with war, a battering ram, it’s associated with a planet Mars and you have to fight only because someone wants to take away your land, the part of the Earth that you want to live and feed yourself and Taurus the bull is in the heart center and the Brahmins were in great conflict between which is the right and which is the wrong way, the clashing of kinsmen. Gemini, Man, is aligned with the throat and Cancer the Moon. We see some interesting things about Krishna, Krishna is remembered because of Radha and the Gopis, milkmaids, precious to His heart. Krishna is supposed to have a confrontation at a battlefield where conscientious objection of fighting the kinsmen between Arjuna and his kinsmen, desire to kill or not to kill. 1:30 And Krishna is remembered for giving forth a great religious truth and He was called the Christ in his period, Gopal the Krishna a great teacher too, Sagittarius is the Teacher/Guru, Pisces is the Christ and also He had full control of the sexual forces, they were in balance but an interesting thing, we start the age in Aquarius, life control, Krishna gave forth a technique of life control by saying these very words, “Offering the in-going breath to the out-going breath and offering the out-going breath to the in-going breath the Yogi arrests decay and becomes immortal.” We have some interesting facts of Krishna. Now this age has been called Age of Aquarius, let’s see if some peculiar things are not repeating itself in the Age of Aquarius. What are those people call who shave their hair (inaudible) down the back, they wear an orange robe and they sing along the street there “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.” You know those people? They used to be Christians who didn’t like the Hindu people at one time. There used to be Christians who didn’t like the Hindus at one time and the Jesus freak. Hindus didn’t like the Christians at one time, we got to have them balanced out. The Krishna group, Jesus freak, as you want to call them if you don’t like the word Jesus freak but these religious movements are returning back to face themselves in the age, on a positive end of the scale, to resolve their differences, they have just shifted their roles. One has “the thing we hate is the thing we become,” “Vengeance is Mine sayeth the Lord,” “No one lay a hand upon Cain.” “He killed his brother Abel, I’ll take care of him” not put him in a position where he’ll know what it is to be Able. A battlefield is waging in the time of Krishna, all right let’s look back to a year called 1776. The Aquarian Age is not in its full flow according to Sri Yukteswar, you’ve just come to the cusp from the Piscean Age and the Piscean Age was here, Aquarius was here, it just moved across to come up so it’s just begun in the cusp so the Piscean Age has brought with it certain conditions. In 1776 something occurred in this landmass that we are living on, what happened then? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: We fought to become independent. All right let’s go back to 1492 when Pisceans were over there, Pisces was here and Aquarius was back there. There was a man who said he’s got to find a new route to what part of the world? Audience: India. Adano: India but he went from East to where? Audience: West. Adano: Okay, we end up coming on the West. Now along came with him followers who set out to colonize the West and brought with them the Conquistadors. We remember them by laying waste this hemisphere and in their wake followed their friends, who were once their friends, who were once their allies and then became their enemies and they all start fighting among themselves. All in the tail end of the Piscean Age going to the cusp of Aquarius. Now our descendants are our children, we are the descendants of someone that came from some place right? They had to migrate, they were in conflict, there was a great exodus, we notice that Ages seem to occur when exodus is in movement. Man seems to move out from one part, landmass, to another. The Europeans came and settled in the cusp period of Aquarius and here we see we’ve gone through from Aquarius being over here, Pisces was here from 1492 to about 1776 then it shifted and Aquarius came up, Pisces went up, and we’re in this position around 1776. Aries went up, Scorpio came down, they are lining up. Something is going to happen now, war is going to be in the shifting of the periods. If Aries go up and Scorpio come down there are periods of wars during the cusp from ‘76 on up to present state we’ve had a series of wars of the most brutal and technical we can think of, the shifting up, all over a trade balance, all over a land mass, all over food complex. Now let’s look at the cosmic Man pertaining to all present landmass that we live on and see some interesting things about before we fit it into the world. This country in 1776 was establishing in the cusp period its independence from the old world to the new world, the breaking away from over here to here, Aquarius is moving therefore the shift of humanity is moving towards something better. Now when Aries was located where Pisces is now, Taurus was in the belly. Now when Aquarius was over here and Pisces was below that was the period of the shifting, tail end of Pisces going to the cusp, our form of farming depended upon what? Oxen plowing the ground. Now to colonize and to develop this land mass, what is the most precious thing that we love when we go at Mcdonald’s? Audience: Hamburgers, fries (laughter). Adano: Through the period in the Aquarian Age the meat product has to go up close to the heart as a means of a stable diet, the frontier country and the Longhorn was native to this country which looked like a Brahman bull and we breed or cross breed the Braham bull to the long horn, interesting we’re doing some peculiar things with the cattle. Man which is Gemini has moved up and Virgo which was the favorite of Krishna in His day was an equal partner in the affairs of life. 1:40 You remember not too long ago someone shouted “Women’s Lib,” must have a voice in things. In the Age of Aquarius we’ve got to have a voice in things, we’re reliving now the age just like Krishna on the upward scale now, then we find here again that Leo is a king sign but a peculiar thing in that Leo is governed… its Moon is in Cancer that means it’s locking, it’s regenerative, our form of government is majestic but not monarch-ial or dictatorial, it is a collective like the crab with many legs, what have we got now? A federation, we have a federated form of government for the first time appearing and would have had the same thing in the time of Krishna but He was fully majestic but He united the brothers of the Pandava to fight the Kushas who were their cousins, that was a type of split federation, a great civil war between the brothers over the kingdom. Did we not have a similar split war in this country, over the middle path of the country, the bread area, the East and West across the Dixon Mason line, war went on. We’ve got the same reappearing here in the Aquarian Age. Now in the time of Krishna, Arjuna a man of noble birth and a prince did not want to fight and became on record the first conscientious objector. We see in the Aquarian Age how many people are revolting the idea of going to war for a government, burning draft cards, everything. We see the reason why they have to do it because Gemini which is Man is in the throat and must have a voice in the say of things what the government do with their lives if we a federated people. Do we have a freedom of choice, do we have a say in the way our lives are, moved or monitored or triggered off by the government? Now Virgo is on the opposite side and if we had to have men striving for an equal right as to what we do with our lives by the government then women must have an equal say as what will be done with their lives. We find now why the Women’s Lib comes into activity, they have a voice and they speak out both for the man and both for the women and in the age we see the same thing was true in the time of Krishna. He had Arjuna speaking up from him not wanting to destroy his life over war and Woman having an equal role in the house in Radha. Now an interesting thing will appear now in the Aquarian Age just as in the time of Krishna. Pisces is the Christ center and Krishna was the Christ of His time and we have Sagittarius which is the Guru sign in the Hindu astrology, these two are in balance in the sex region, religion is taking a new shape in the time of Krishna. Krishna told Arjuna “Take up your bow and fight,” Krishna was a married man and Arjuna was a married Man, Arjuna was never on record as a renunciate, he was a prince married. We find now if religion is taking a shape in the Aquarian Age then the householder teachers, the man and wife relationship is reappearing now in its true balance. Now we look at Gemini which is Man and we look at Virgo, a voice in things, women’s liberation, we are seeing now the perfect balance again in giving forth truth, the householder spiritual role is taking shape again, “I sent you out in pairs, go on to the lost sheep of the House of Israel and unto whose house you come and if they receive you, may your peace be upon them and if they don’t, depart from that city and brush the dust off your feet and withdraw your peace and take off” but in that time the pairs were two men or could be considered two women. In this age the pair is a husband and a wife so if you don’t want us, we will take our peace and go. Okay, interesting huh that the forces are balancing out in the Aquarian Age, the husband of life role is digging into a true meaning for the first time in the Aquarian Age. Now we’re seeing another interesting fact, where are we going in the Aquarian Age in terms of the economy because everyone thinks that not only in the Aquarian Age it’s got to be more abundance and abundance is like the stock market, we gauge the nation’s abundance by a rise and a fall a stock market. Now interesting that Libra represents the scale and that’s the heart, the thing closest to your heart next to your wife is what? Your pocketbook (laughter). See wherever we look at it in the Aquarian Age, we are going to find this particular condition occurring. Now let us look in the time of Krishna, India was at its highest peak of material prosperity in the time of Arjuna, Radha, and Krishna and was known at that time to be the light of the world, the light of Asia. Now we said a light, Yogananda called this country years ago when a man by the name of Columbus set out to look for India and ended up here calling it India, he said “This country is the new India, the new light of the world.” Now we have a statue out on Ellis Island, pigeons are invading it but what does the statue hold up? Audience: A torch, a light. Adano: Interesting how we seem to build all our traditional heritage symbology around ideas that are coming through from the inner consciousness yet it’s happening in the Aquarian Age. Now at the time of Krishna equality was down to the lowest peasant after the battle, the Mahabharata, the great battle was over, the great civil war, everyone was equal. In the founding of this country at the end of the civil war and the East and North and South started to rebuild but in the process equality had to work itself up. 1:50 Today we have the same identical thing occurring in the Aquarian Age to bring back the status of equality among Men, all nations, all colors rallying for the first time in service, we had the same identical thing in the time of Krishna/Arjun period, they also brought about that in their own country. Now many of you are familiar with the symbology of astrology, which symbol you think represents healing? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: The healing art. Audience: Scorpio. Adano: Scorpio because we don’t have a serpent we have something similar, we have to remember we have something similar to represent it. The Ring Caduceus is supposed to be two winged serpents wrapped around a staff, all right on one side we find Scorpio on the other side we find Aries. Now Scorpio in the original position is down in the astrological symbology to be in the generative organs and Aries is supposed to be the head in the serpent (inaudible) his head up it’s like a winged Caduceus. They are in balance as the mainstay of the cosmic Man so your healing arts are going to be fantastically magnified in the Aquarian age, we are not even going to recognize the healing arts in a few more years to come they’re going to be so unbelievable that every art that was known from past times will start to suddenly mushroom out but let’s go back to Krishna/Arjun period. The healing art was at its highest also, Ayurvedic methods of medicine, there is none to compare with this, we don’t even have in this country anything as close to the Ayurvedic healing methods and they were their highest peak all in the time of the Krishna/Arjun period. Now Krishna was called also a lion king, Jesus was also called a lion king, modern Man is also looking for some individual as a teacher who has a name lion with his name as a king. Western Man is looking back to the East for some Guru, somebody over here on the Eastern side to be a spark plug. Only in India we find the names of men ending with the word lion but in their language it’s called Singh S-I-N-G-H meaning lion and a lion has a mane and the Singhs are only Eastern people who wear a beard, tie their heads up, carry a short sword, a silver bracelet, and a comb, and go out into the world as lions. The youngest religion of the earth known to Man today to have the fastest rise with the most converts is the Sikh religion, the religion of the lion, the royal religion, the religion in where the founders are all called Gurus. Guru Nanak 500 years ago founded the Sikh religion, its rise is fantastic that the writings of the Gurus we have none to compare even Western world with their writings of the inner life. They have all exemplified the Science of the Soul and they teach the same truth that we know today as the holy word, Jesus said “I go unto the Father but I’ll send you the Holy Spirit,” the Holy Life Current, the Holy Word, “who will remind you of all these things in My name.” The bursting fort in the Western world of the science of religion known as the Audible Life Current or Sound Current has suddenly hit the Western shores and was brought forth by lions of God known as Singh. The living Master in the present Christ state is not only a Sagittarian by birth, but he’s a Singh and he’s a lion and he’s a truly realized God-Man, his name is Charan Singh. Western men have written about Him, they call Him the Radiant One. The Earth is never at no time without a living Master or a living Christ-realized Man, they do exist all the time and they are of royalty because before the word Charan Singh, Lion of God, there’s another word that comes to indicate royalty, Maharaj, the great king “Maha” means great, “Raj” or “Raja” king. Now He is a king in His own right but He is a householder king because He’s a married man and He’s demonstrating in this Aquarian Age the householder path providing for His family and rendering service to the world in a Christ state. We are seeing now how religion is coming across for the first time in the Aquarian Age, we are seeing how the healing arts. Now which sign you think represents music? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You remember Krishna was a musician, He played upon a particular instrument to do what? Audience: Flute. Adano: Flute and therefore He attracted to him what animal? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: A cow, Taurus. As we’ll see, this country you know it as (Adano sings a country tune). Audience: (Laughter). Adano: You recognize how music has poured down by the early pioneers from the cowboy up to the most sophisticated form as we know it and it’s going to spread more because it’s closest to the heart. 2:00 “The music be the food of the Soul, play on.” Every nation in this country has given forth some contribution to music, every level of society has contributed to it and way back in Krishna period the Ragas and the Raginis, Indian music reaches highest point under the reign of the Pandavas so we see an interesting in music now. In India at that time music was used to heal, it was known as Kirtan’s, devotional singing, that’s why the only thing that the Krishna group shouts “Let us all sing and chant, praise the Lord, Hari Krishna, Hari Krishna, nothing else we need to enjoy God, sing and be happy.” They were healing themselves through mantra sounds, we’re going to find now that more and more as we go into musical therapy or some therapy we’re going to heal different types of diseases physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Now Saul was a king and when he was in the melancholy state or in the blues he had little David play upon his (Adano makes string music sounds). Audience: Harp. Adano: To ease the heart, to ease the pain. We’re finding the more we’re going to understand how because of their positions we can now not only understand and work with the healing art, work with the music, we’re going to work now male and female, (inaudible), the balance in their home life will be restored. We’ll also see now the wisdom that is necessary to lift us up, the life current, the recycling of the life current, the audible life current, the holy word. Also we’ll see now that color will begin to have a predominance, the science of color starts to predominate. Well if you look at all these symbols here which one you think is the most colorful if you had to take them and look at them? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Remember, let me throw a little clue in, color shifts and changes in moods. Audience: Cancer… Gemini… Adano: (Laughing) Our moods are determined by the Moon and therefore color is in Cancer, it’s a colorful object to see a crab and you stretch it out in the different tones and shapes of the bone (inaudible). We’ll start to really see color taken tremendous predominance even color therapy by light because remember it’s a form of light we’re working in the Moon and it’s filtering the Sun’s light, Leo majestic, color is so uplifting to the eyes and when used in a therapeutic way it will expand the consciousness and those who have resorted to the drug know that the brilliancy of colors when seen are so intense that they want to recapture the experience inside that’s why they resort to the drug to see the brilliancy in colors. Now Capricorn we noticed is the goat, you notice in what area of this the cosmic (inaudible), it’s on the nether region, negative end. Man is way up by the throat, he’s right next to color but he’s made a scapegoat by drugs of Capricorn consciousness thinking he can recapture color by that method, not realizing that he can see color by looking to his true majestic nature inside, his God nature which has all the brilliance of all the colors. Only by turning inward as the Christ said “When thine eyes are single,” now focus at the Moon center, “the whole body is full of light” but light is a collection of all colors. Man has selled himself short but we need to be sold short in order to appreciate what we’ve inherited or brought into manifestation. In our Aquarian Age we are going to reclaim some interesting things about ourselves, color and its therapeutic effects are going to start increasing. Now we are going to shift a few ideas into the idea world, the idea body, we are going to knock out symbol and replace one true id (idea?). We knocked out Libra and replaced karma and Moses when he was on the earth plane and Scorpio was in the Sun sign Libra was in the Moon. Thought “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” and Buddha when he came when Scorpio was in the Sun sign and Libra was in the Moon he said karma or kismet, cause and effect. So the idea world, we are a physical body chemically speaking, we are an astral body electrically speaking, we are a causal body idea speaking. So we can knock out now and start going into the id (idea) world, karma. Now the beast we don’t have a serpent to indicate it but Scorpio has been the only symbol to represent it and they say the beast or the serpent or form is the most subtlest of all the forces, of all the creatures. We will knock it out and give ourselves something more significantly important, knock out Scorpio and place desire. Now desire is twofold like Scorpion, regenerative and degenerative, desire can tear you down and desire can build you up because when you spell desire “DE-SIRE,” this way we’re going to see something interesting about the word. Sire is to foster or to generate of one’s own kind, “DE” is to divide but also sire is a term referring to royalty, no matter how Scorpio can divide us between ourselves, Scorpio can return to royalty, we can put it back in the Sun sign. If it goes down to the nether region it’s balanced, no matter where it plays along the scale it will always be reconciled so we see we can knock out Scorpio and place desire. 2:10 We’ll knock out Virgo and place a word very very very important to us, purity, you know we have been accused by Europeans (inaudible), the early people that came across they were called “Puri” what? Audience: Puritans. Adano: Stuck up virgins (laughter). I’ll tell you in this Aquarian Age we are seeing some wonderful things about ourselves, it’s great to be alive in it let alone going out to the other stars. All right we’ll knock out this one now, Aries, and place humility. Remember the Christ said “Meekly with a murmur not,” humility can defeat desire either way, humility can generate devotion which is a form of desire of the highest type. Buddha said this, Jesus put it first and let us quote Jesus “Meekly wait and murmur not,” that is remain in a state of humanity. Now Buddha anti-dated Jesus and He said this, “Murmur not at the dispensation of God for His wisdom is unbounded and His power is unlimited.” So meekly wait and don’t grumble, that’s Nitty Gritty way of saying it, I don’t want to grumble you see. Okay let us look at another one we will knock out, Taurus, and we will replace it with willpower or will, volition, you ever heard that term “man, don’t be bullheaded?” Because they will ram themselves through but you see willpower is necessary to knock out karma, if you don’t got the will to fight your confrontation, you can’t win it. You’ve got to have willpower to defeat your karma, to modify karma, to break down the pull of the law of karma on you. If you accept karma as fatalism then you don’t have willpower but if you execute willpower in the divine way, you knock out the karma, you can modify the karma, your sins are forgiven according to your alignment with the Divine Will, “Not my will be done but Thy will be done,” you knock it out and the pure in heart sees God that’s why they are lined up in the heart center. Now we’ll knock out Aquarius and we will put in the Holy Spirit or Audible Life Current which is called the Word. We are in the Age of the Holy Spirit and mass conversion by speaking in tongues are constantly popping up, more so in the history of Man than in any other time. In every church you know today practically everyone is reaching out and wanting to speak in tongues. In the ancient time only I think Peter and a few other spoke in tongues and just the one or two along the line but here in today’s ages… When looking back in Krishna’s time they had a similar outpouring of the spirit when the Gopis and all the people were chanting “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna” many found themselves speaking in different languages praising Lord Krishna, interesting. Now we’ll knock out Pisces and we will place the word “Christ Consciousness,” the Christ Consciousness, the intelligence in vibratory creation and it’s on the positive side of the creative force which is the sex act. Now we will knock out Sagittarius and we will give it Cosmic Consciousness, the Son of the Father, they’re holding the balance in the most creative part in the lower region but they are both of kingly nature holding the balance in the Sun. The balance is checked by Leo the Sun and that is knocked out and replaced by government or order. Order is the first law of the universe when in the Sun sign you have to govern, in the Aquarian Age government is going to reach its highest point of perfection, every form of government are going to go through various changes to raise up the level of Man. Even monarchial governments, dictatorial governments they are all going to go through a tremendous change. We only have a few left to be knocked out and I think by than we can pretty well guess it. We will knock out Man and we will give you sensory nature but what holds the balance of the five senses or the sensory nature? Good old purity, purify those five senses, “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,” listen to no evil. In the aquarian age the refinement of the sensory nature leads to what, why are we down here in Virginia Beach trying to run after Mr. Casey? Audience: To be more aware? Adano: We’re down here looking for the extra sense of it, ain’t that what he is? Refinement of the sensory nature leads to the extra sensory in the Aquarium Age. 2:20 Now Cancer will knock it out and give ourself one word that makes it possible to do it in the Aquarian age. It takes that to make it work in the Aquarian Age, the tenacity, the stick to it, the do it yourself, what are we famous for throughout the world as the nation of the what? The Do It Yourselfer, therefore we want to do it yourself religion at the same time, we don’t want nobody pushing down the religion down our throat, we want to be able to do it, we want to know the mechanics of it, we want to be able to tear it apart, to put it back and come up capable of working it. In our cosmic Man the idea body is already now set up for us to work now, we can shift this around as we shift the astrological body and we can see how we can go off the track or we can see how we can correct the track. Now these particular ideas can be synchronized to electrical terms and this will go pretty long, I don’t want to take up your time. Audience: What about Capricorn? Adano: I know everybody would say something. (Laughter). See I’m glad people are watching otherwise I think I’m talking and not nobody is listening. Capricorn. Well let’s think, you should be able to spot what Capricorn should represent in this movement by now. Capricorn represents organization but you know at what area of the cosmic Man it’s in? So what have we got today? Audience: Discipline? Adano: Dis-organization, a constant tearing down of every organized form of life because she is located, organized life as (inaudible) coming down traditionally through the bison period, setting up even my good old catholic church who built (inaudible) when organization was in the sex region in the Piscean age now comes down to the Earth center and Aquarius moves across even her organization is tearing down. She has to go down but only by going to her knees is she reborn because the Cosmic Consciousness and the Christ Consciousness are in the area that holds the balance. The conflict between the priest and the pope, between marriage and celibacy is the conflict of the organization of life in the church. When it’s resolved then again we will have Man/Woman or the sensory nature be purified, we will see again that the priest and the wife will go out like ancient times, priest and priestess, working in harmony for the healing of the nation. Thank you. (Applause). Take a few minutes break and the ask some questions.
1971 December 20 - Guru Disciple Relationship
Adano71_12_20GuruDiscipleRelationshipQ3RR - Tomorrow night is an initiation all right. Just a few hints on what initiation is before we take up our subject tonight on the Guru/disciple relationship or the Master/disciple relationship what it’s all about, what is involved. Initiation or baptism which is the Oriental word is not just merely throwing water on each other’s head, you know Jesus went down to the river Jordan and said to John “You baptize me” and John says “No you baptize me” and Jesus says “No you baptize me” and John says “No you baptize me.” Imagine two grown men arguing over a little water, throwing at each other’s head, seems kind of petty argument but the word baptism means initiation and it infers that Jesus said to John “Suffer it to be so for this is the way of righteousness.” It is by this contact method the Soul reunites with God, not the mere putting of water on the head as a child because the child cannot gain cosmic consciousness when it’s born when the priest puts it and I’ve been around the priest and studying and I know you don’t get cosmic consciousness that way otherwise I would have had it the very first time I was baptized a Catholic but the real meaning of baptism is initiation. That is locking in of the sensory forces with the extra-sensory or the Master-current, it’s like putting in the key in an ignition switch and turning on the motor and these two forces are locked in for the first time and begin to flow and then John did initiate Jesus, they stated that “lo and behold” they saw a ray of light like a dove descending and the voice of God saying “This is My beloved Son in whom I’m well pleased” but it’s not a physical dove dropping off the sky. The initiates at the time around the river Jordan had the insight or the spiritual eye open to see the inner current manifesting in the man Jesus and the dove is a five-pointed star representing fire, air, earth, water, ether in profile upside down when it comes down. In the eastern country we call it the pranic star or divine light dove, as light comes down into the body and it’s like a sun, it’s the only sun from the central part of the brain that comes down. Now sometimes you see it as a little (inaudible) light or sometimes it’s very brilliant and very big, sometimes it’s all pervading and at times you may not see it but you may feel it, it’s heat, you feel the glow and your ears will be ringing for the balance of the day as if somebody had pulled out the stopper. Many things happen but these are some of the experiences that one goes through. Sometimes if you have been one of the individuals who laughed at the early Christians on the day of Pentecost because they spoke in tongues at initiation, you will go to that very same sensation, watch out for your karma. Don’t think that because those who’ve gone to be baptized in the Pentecostal Church and talk in tongues it’s their first time, it’s the ones who criticize and laugh they have to go through that in their karmic debt, the roles are reversed “As you sow, that you reap,” you don’t get something from nothing in this world, every experience is based upon where you think and behave and most of all especially when we come into an initiate life, a life of inner behavior. Everybody used to think that when you go to a Pentecostal Church and see… we had a group of people in South America they call them the Shakers you know and they go into these wild movements. My father always said “don’t laugh,” you know as a kid you giggle, see these people rolling in the dirt and shouting all types of sounds which were sounds of foreign languages but we were cautious not to laugh but you can’t help yourself (inaudible) but we learn later on in life there’s a vast meaning behind it all, that those very individuals were ones who laughed who were the early Jewish people who became Christians when they were going through that very same experience on that day so watch out. As Jesus said (inaudible), the law of karma is very very swift at times and sometimes it takes centuries to catch up with you but it works. Anyway initiation can have many interesting effects on the body, sometimes you may feel headaches, nausea before the initiation, you may get runny nose, a tummy ache, this is all cleaning up before the Christ-self comes in and some interesting dreams can occur before the actual initiation to indicate that the Christ-self is locking into you. Remember the Master Jesus says, “You haven’t chosen Me, I have chosen you” that is the bond of the Guru/disciple relationship, the Master chooses you can’t choose. You can hear the Master and reach out yes, but it’s still the Master’s decision. There’s a statement that goes like this “the sheep knows the voice of the shepherd but the shepherd knows his sheep,” this statement is where the Guru/disciple relationship is based on and not all the sheep belong to the one shepherd, not the whole of humanity can be drawn into the Christ-state immediately, they have to work out their own individual obligations and responsibilities and the realized Man knows that, that there are those who come into this state and those who can’t come in immediately. Now the whole of Virginia Beach is not in this room, they’re not interested in return to God by a Guru/disciple relationship technique. Remember when we begin to hear of the Guru/disciple relationship we are ready to return back home, not until that time, we are still dallying on the way. That’s why Jesus said to John “Suffer it to be so for this is the way of righteousness.” The moment the mind picks up the trend or the link and know that this linkage or connection is what it’s been seeking, its past propelling itself forward to it, that is when the senses wants to lock itself into the Christ-self by initiation then it’s on its way home. A ship coming into a harbor, the captain may not know the challenges, he may see a beacon as a guide but he still needs a pilot, a local pilot from that country, to come out and meet him and guide them through the channel so he doesn’t run aground. Equally true when the Soul is reaching out to God and guidance, God is reaching out by sending a pilot in some form of a human being to connect us by the link of initiation to guide us through the misconceptions of life around us and how we behave. 0:10 The guidance is in behavior, the world of life is laid out already around us by symbology, mechanical methods, but behavior is the key of going through that journey, going through this channel without crashing into them because every second you’re confronted when behavior is challenged and you’re not going to be judged because you smashed your neighbor’s car up, you’re going to be judged by your behavior inside. You may have to pay for that man’s car as a physical condition but inwardly your own behavior is going to finally take (inaudible). So equally true in spiritual life in the journey inward we need some sort of guidance and that is where the Guru/disciple relationship come in. Now if you are looking for a manual on a Guru/disciple relationship we can study the manual of the Christian scripture, the New Testament, the thing the Master Jesus and His disciples how they interrelated and reacted with each other and how the Guru acts. Now the word “Guru” is Sanskrit literally means “He who lifts up” or Savior, that’s the literal meaning, one who literally lifts you up. Now in the Western writings we say “Man is looking for a Savior,” a Savior means a liberator. Now the Hebrew people when they were in bondage in Egypt cried out to God for a liberator, a Savior, someone to liberate them from their bondage and the Lord responded in the form of Moses, a political Savior though, He liberated them from the political yolk of the Egyptian government, set them on the road to nationhood, and left them. Now when they arrived at the highest point of nationhood in the time of Soloman they felt they could do me wrong, ego again has to do with behavior. They were toppled down by the Romans and they were put into chains and their government became a prisoning government for the Roman. The burden of the Roman yoke by occupation again grind very hard and they cried out to the Lord or Higher Intelligence for another liberator but the liberator did not come as a political man driving out the Romans with sword and fire and horses, He came now as the liberator of behavior. The first liberation was the political one literally taking them out of Egypt, setting them on the road to nationhood from slavery to nationhood. When you’re at your highest point, you can fall if you lose sight of God. When the material sense gets too strong and you forget that it comes from the Divine Source then the Divine Source will pull the plug out from under us and we will go down the hill like a car without brakes so we end up on our nose. So back in the dirt they went but now they have to liberate themselves not by political effort but by behavioral effort, they have to learn to behave now. They were given rules to behave, some did some did not. Now when Jesus came into their lives, He chose the lowliest form to come as a liberator and work from that lowly behavior form to its highest form by confrontation of daily activity thus indicating He was Master of His nature, Master of His behavior, Master of His environment now this is the type Guru or liberator or one who truly lifts up. Now the example is very very important for all ages especially in the Western world, in the Eastern world the example has always been with Eastern Man, the link between the disciple and the Guru, the link between the Soul and God, the link between the husband and the wife, this is Guru/disciple relationship, this is Soul mating, God and Man but in the West it’s new. Remember Jesus was an Oriental, He was born in the Middle East of Jewish parents, His wisdom spread Westward by one of His Apostles, not a disciple, an Apostle by the name of Paul and as it spread Westward to the nations that were under bondage by the Roman government, how to behave so that they can throw off the yoke by their behavior, they would liberate themselves, they would lift up themselves, they would lift up their own humanity let alone their own divinity. So today after a thousand years close to maybe going on to 2,000 we are in turmoil as to what the life of Jesus really meant to us. Soon we are going to go through the behavior of celebrating the birthday in memory of it that we may not even know what the memory or what the purpose or why the necessary behavior in this age is for and we may go through next year in April another celebration of a death and a resurrection and may not even know the real meaning of the behavior behind it. Why these men would put themselves in harmony with such a Man and live but until we understand the relationship known as the Master/disciple relationship, we would never understand what devotion is. Now let’s take a few instances of the Master/disciple relationship, Jesus came to John at the River Jordan, He was initiated by John, He went up into the mountain to re-evaluate or fast or meditate and after conquering His lower sensory nature by behavioral methods, now let’s see some of the behavioral methods a Master must first learn to behave before He can teach another person how to behave to master his problems in order to lift up himself. So the very first behavioral problem was food, he was fasting right on the mountain? Why would he choose food as a first behavioral mastery? Isn’t that the first thing you put in your mouth when you’re born after you take your first breath? God has to provide milk in the mother’s breast by natural action so that you can live in this material world. So the behavioral principle comes right away as the first test from the ego, “Here buddy, here superstar, what’s the matter with you, who do you think you are? Stop fasting man and get with it, eat something, you’ve been born to eat so why you stop eating?” This in in today’s parlance. 0:20 In those days you can say Satan was tempting the man Jesus and asking Him to eat, “Here take stones, turn it into bread, you got power” but the reply from the higher self to the lower self is very simple, “It is written.” Think of those three words, “it is written that Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God,” that’s a fantastic behavior involving us now. “It is written,” where is it written, where is He quoting from, who is He quoting, is it anti-dating His existence, did He come across it before? Well we don’t have records from the church’s view between the age of 12 to 30 when He was initiated, He must have done something between 12 to 30. That’s 18 years, you just don’t hide yourself in some corner and then appear on the scene as a superstar from the age 12, it just don’t happen. You either do something to make yourself something, you don’t at 12 years of age appear at age 30 a doctor, you’ve got to study something, you got to do something, you either have to master something. So we know that He went back to the East to visit the very three wise men that came to visit Him at birth for they were Kings in their own right, they were truly Masters in their own right, they were God-realized in their own right, He would have to go back to them to pay His respects. Remember a man does not leave his home, let alone a king, to journey out to visit some little child in a manger just to give Him a gift and walk back home or ride back home and forget the whole incident, it just don’t add up. There got to be a whole lot more going on behind the scenes because if you say these men came from different countries how would Mary and Joseph, humble folks, know about them, is it because they respect King David and Soloman hundreds of years ago? (Inaudible) than that, He had to go back to these men and spend some time with them learning the inner art of life the inner behavior, so when He came back and went through initiation and started inward re-evaluation, His first behavior test was the tongue, Mastery of the tongue. You know because that’s the first thing we have at birth after we take the first breath, to put the breast to the mouth, we have to master appetite. Now the scripture says “He who would bridle the tongue would taketh the city” is that something (inaudible), have mastery over this part of the mechanism. All through the ages and before Jesus, men fasted and prayed, men denied their mouth and their stomach something to get some type of re-evaluation with themselves in God. Mahatma Gandhi did it and demonstrated how he could shift the might of the British Empire to give his country liberation, self-government, and Jesus also said “Ye that hungereth for righteousness sake shall inherit the kingdom” good, that means you got to deny some part of this mechanism. All right He mastered that by stating “Man did not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God” and He mastered every other condition of glory, status symbol, “Why don’t you bow down to me, I’ll give you all these things.” “If you attempt suicide…” Now don’t kid yourself, every one of us has got the suicidal nature in us, the ego wants us to die to prove ourselves immortal, the ego wants us to throw ourselves over a mountaintop dramatically and say “Hey friends, nobody loves me.” Inwardly we do have this, “They don’t like me, I can go and die and I’ll show them. They’re going to really love me after I commit suicide.” It’s part of the behavior, the death wish, pride only reverse these things but it’s the same thing we’re talking about, throw yourself over God will send angels to bear you up, but you see how He masters it, “Don’t tempt the Lord, get thee behind me Satan.” Nonsense, ego don’t kid yourself, to willingly destroy this physical frame is the most ridiculous attitude one can take, better to face all the trials and be of good cheer, you will overcome it than to die not trying because you’ll never know what would have happened if you had tried and you may be forced to face it again so that’s worse, you should have done it the first time. So you see it’s better to be happy that you can be in the body and face it and come out knowing it’s possible than to run from it. All right He mastered all the possible intricacies of the mechanism then He came down knowing fully well He is now competent to work. While He was passing the River Jordan, John made a remark just at that same time, “There goeth your Master.” Now he was speaking to a whole group of people sitting around the River Jordan, while Jesus came down from the same mountain not too far from Jordan and it’s recorded that three men got up and walked. Now Jesus did not look back and say “Hey I recognize you boys.” Now why did John tell the group “There goeth your Master,” why did the whole group get up and go, why did just three got up and walked? The term Master is not just literally thrown into the air like that, those three men who got up needed some tangible relationship and they knew it intuitively their devotion would reach up now to something great, they were able to lock in their inner consciousness so those three men got up, Peter, James, and John and they walked but He never looked around and said, “I’m glad I found you” or “I’m glad you found Me” either, He just kept on going until He came to a gate and he looked around and there was a man collecting tax yet He passed everybody you know and then He said to the fellow, “follow Me.” Now you just don’t tell somebody “follow me” and they’re going to drop everything and go along your way because you really can’t trust this guy, you don’t even know him from Adam let alone put your trust in him. There have to be some inner link, some behavioral contact, some sense of achievement occurring, some inner experience to make you feel a response of love. You don’t follow a person out of fear, you follow a person out of love either Jesus raised the level of love or turned on the level of love in the man but the man was able to recognize it and to get up and follow Him. There got to be love and a Master/disciple relationship is based on love, it’s not based on miracles and it is not based upon fear, it’s not based upon a slave and a Master relationship, it’s based upon a love brought on that would lift up the individual. 0:30 The individual knows when he sees that love it will lift him up, this is the love he’s looking for, a love that will lift him up, a true Master or a true savior or a Guru radiates a love that lifts up his fellow Man, that’s the relationship we’re looking for, a love that will lift you every step of the way it gives you more confidence in the love. After selecting several of His disciples and this is where the term comes, “You have not chosen Me, I have chosen you,” the Christ-self has triggered off the love in their hearts in this age that draws you in search of your higher self that’s why you’re following it, that’s why you’re seeking it, that’s why you’re hearing about it otherwise you would not be seeking it let alone hearing it let alone know of its existence. If this type of relationship would die out, the world would be sadly at a loss but because this type of relationship does not die out, it is continued age upon age, age upon age, some little individual taking that lonely road towards Bethlehem. You know the wise men made the journey through love so equally true when the individual feels the urge to make that journey in with love, you will need that knowledge, he would come across that information of that type of bond, that type of association, that type of life that envelopes a relationship between the Soul and God. Now at his highest aspect the Soul and God is a marriage, at the lowest aspect it’s a husband and wife as a marriage. Each relationship brings us into that bond yet that bond is called the Guru/disciple relationship, that love. No other love can supersede the Guru/disciple relationship love, it’s the unconditional love every other form of love has some little condition involved in it, there’s always some little thing added to it but in the Guru/disciple relationship it’s the only unconditional love that exists. As Sri Yukteswar said to Yogananda, those who have read The Autobiography of a Yogi to show this relationship, He said “I will not use you from My own personal benefit but if you see My head falling down from the highest point would you take My head and put it on your lap and bring Me back to God?” He’s asking His student to do that, you remember that statement? Now a teacher is asking a student if he would see him falling away from that high ideal back to the lower nature would he not take his head that means would he not try to encourage or state some fact, “Master please (inaudible) stay back from there” in other words this is what the unconditional love is involving to hold up the ideal between two individuals. Now during the period of Jesus and His own disciples are a sort of an exemplary way of the relationship, He said to them at one time “The disciple should be as the Master” that means the disciples should make every effort to master himself. “I no longer call you My disciples but I call you My friends” thus breaking that straining condition between the other individual as if Master would mean someone who pulls you by your nose. The Guru/disciple relationship is a relationship of love and friendship, it’s not the relationship of where one is a superior being in relation to the other, it’s a relationship of total equality yet there is an inherent respect in that condition. Then He goes on to say, “Call no man Master save the Lord which is within thee” first he has to lift up the ego to its true nature by becoming master of itself and then when the true Master consciousness recognize each other they act in harmony as friends then each one act as God-self, they are free-men lord of themselves. You don’t look at the physical body of Jesus as Master, it’s the God-self that’s why He says “Call no man Master.” He says “I no longer call you My disciples, I call you my friends.” Now once He calls the disciple the friend there is no more condemnation or criticism, a friend is a friend and that’s all there is to it, we shall see. One man denied Him, one man betrayed Him, and the rest of them ran away from Him. Did he condemn any of them? When the man came to betray Him what did He call him, when he reached out and kissed the Master as a signal to the people who were going to sieze Him? Did He not say “Friend why do you seek me out in the night like a thief?” You see the Master’s love is unconditional, a Master is aware inwardly from His own electrical nature, He’s aware of this internal body exactly what that person’s behavior will involve because he has the same betrayal mechanism in Himself but if He has mastered the betrayal mechanism, He can have compassion for the person who betrays Him. Did He not have a similar test up on the mountain when He was supposed to throw Himself over the mountain, that’s a betrayal to life? Which is the worst betrayal, to commit suicide or to have someone turn you over to the authorities for something that you didn’t do or did do? The worst betrayal is to throw yourself over the mountain, that’s a betrayal to God because you don’t create life, you didn’t make life, you didn’t make your own body, that’s the biggest betrayal you can have. So how could He condemn Judas for performing that simple act of selling Him out, He had to love him more. In fact in the mind of a Master, Judas is loved far more than people think but He still calls him friend. Now even when He’s at the table feeding them, He has already selected each person for their specific duties before that particular night at the table when they sat down to eat. He gave Judas the job of being the money changer or the treasury to keep all the money in which He would have to send him out occasionally to get things so he would have to leave the group to go and do the duties of the Master. So it would not be unfamiliar if the Master would say to Judas, “Do what thou hast to do.” It would be accepted among the other group of disciples that he was about the Master’s business for the benefit of the group so the Master would not embarrass Judas in front of the others at the very moment when He says “One of you will betray Me.” How could He embarrass Judas by pinpointing but He says “He who sops with Me” and they all look around and says (inaudible), everybody is condemning themselves, everybody is going through the condemnation, “I won’t, I won’t, I won’t” then He goes ahead and says “Go do what thou hast to do.” 0:40 In their minds, they could not jump to the conclusion that Judas is the man, you see how subtle behavior is going on to keep everyone within His own frame of reference and the love that no one can accuse the other but point the finger to himself. He has to point the finger to himself always (inaudible) he could never point the finger to judge his fellow Man. There is no way that a Master will put you in a situation where you will judge your fellow Man, the true Master consciousness will always make the finger point to you. We see that in the woman who was brought to Him that was committed in adultery when He made them face the realization that a woman caught committing adultery should be stoned to death. He’s going to throw them in the same identical situation with behavior, He picks up a stone and He points to everyone and tells them “He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.” He who can point to himself and say “I have mastered myself and know myself, I’ll take the responsibility now to strike out,” you couldn’t do it because you would not have love, you’ll be false to yourself. Love is that unique quality that is already compassionate and is forgiving so it will have to look to its own self so He says “No one here to condemn you sister, go your way. I don’t condemn you either.” All right the Guru/disciple relationship even his own disciples have to learn a lesson in that relationship. He sent them out to heal people and they came back saying some people they could heal others they could not heal. He didn’t condemn them for that but in the meantime in the crowd some of the disciples heard a man shouting “In the name of Jesus the Christ I heal you” and right away they got jealous, envious and they said “Master how can he heal in Your name?” Then the Master made a reply, “He that doeth the will of the Lord is My brother and My sister and he that followeth in My word is My disciple.” Now if “he that do the will of the Lord is My brother” and this is a literal sense in Jesus’s talking then is Jesus the only begotten son of God, don’t we see the truth of the Master/disciple relationship now that a God realized Man is a man with total Christ consciousness in a living state and is trying to help us to lift up ourselves by behavioral methods and is not trying to impose a superiority complex upon us by being a unique figurehead in the history of Man? And He will confuse us again or refute us by saying “The things I do you shall do also and greater things that you do,” this is to knock out that so-called conception that churchianity has developed. Hee was laying the groundwork of the Guru/disciple relationship for us to perceive it in times to come. All right the disciples were working on their (inaudible) inwardly by meditation, they did not achieve realization while He was in the body because they denied or they did not fully accept the inner confrontation with themselves. Now we only know of the relationship with the 12 disciples and we live under the impression that those were the only disciples that Jesus had and that is the only Guru/disciple relationship going on. It’s not true, the Guru/disciple relationship extended to many other people, many householders were Guru/disciple relationships were involved let me show you how that fits in. A man by the name of Nicodemus known by the public could not come to take the studies in the daytime in the public’s eye yet he wanted to follow the path, he wanted to know the truth of the inner life, and he was told by the Master “Unless you be born again you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven” and he in his own way of thinking says, “Master do I have to go back in the womb?” But Jesus was telling him in another way the subtle relationships of the Guru/disciple, initiation was going to be his, opening up the inner eye by going back to the source of beingness. Nicodemus came to Him at night for his instructions in meditation and he practiced it, there are many political people in this country who cannot afford to be involved in a Guru/disciple relationship outwardly because of their position in the government or in the particular field of endeavor but that does not say have are not taken to the part of initiation and are not practicing their initiation and are not practicing their techniques of meditation, interesting, right here in good old USA. Equally true we have another relationship, there is a rich man who came to Jesus and says, “Master what must I do to inherit the kingdom of heaven? That man’s name was Lazarus, there were two Lazarus, the rich Lazarus and the sick Lazarus, the one that was ill. The rich Lazarus was a young man of noble birth with two sisters and he asked, “What shall a man do to gain…” And He says “Go sell everything and follow Me.” Now that’s a pretty hard thing for a man who has possessions to do because as I said before you just turn up and dump anything and follow somebody if you don’t have any love, you gotta have some practical love, some practical conviction, something tangible for you to go and dump everything and follow Him. It’s got to be something more than just sheer affection, it’s got to be there to (inaudible). Nevertheless He stayed at the home of the rich Lazarus, how is He going to help that man? The man wants to be a disciple, the man wants to follow the path, He knows that the man could not literally up and dump everything out but He’s got to help that man, He’s got to show that man a behavioral way to overcome it. So He stays at the home of Lazarus then he decides to leave that home and on his very traveling all of a sudden message comes to Him “their brother is sick” and Jesus pays no attention. Then He keeps on traveling away from the home and the message comes “their brother is dead” then He openly makes a statement “This is not a death unto the death,” big deal. That’s playing with people’s life, unless you know what you’re doing in this divine relationship one don’t make statements like that. If He stayed at the home of the disciple and the disciple was so entrenched with His possessions, how is He going to help that disciple to overcome it? It’s just like a man said “I want to commit suicide.” How is He going to help that man commit suicide or prevent that man from committing suicide? He’s got to bring him to the point of either “Yea or Nea,” one way or the other like Babaji when the man went up on the mountain and says “Master You’re the one I’ve found, I’m glad to find You, would You accept me as a disciple?” You know that part of the story in the Autobiography? He says, “I can’t accept you in your present state.” He says “If you don’t accept me I will throw myself over the mountain.” Jump, who cares? If he hesitated then there is doubt. The moment the mental behavior became one of doubt, it broke the relationship but he jumped and all the rest were shocked because this is quite a task, a real test, unusual test but nevertheless he restored the man’s life. 0:50 Equally true Jesus had to do something to Lazarus, the only way you’re going to get a man with wealth spiritual, what’s the first thing you got to do to him? If you take it away from him and make him poor that’s not gonna make him spiritual, He may turn around and hate the world or renounce but that’s a poor excuse for becoming spiritual. The only way you can help him, you got to take him to death’s door where his money can’t do any good for him now, life is the only important thing. He has got to bring him to the point where he must experience death then there are no more attachments, all attachments end then so He speeded up the karma by His grace on that particular disciple and that disciple was a household disciple, he was not a renunciate like the other twelve, he’s a householder, man with wealth, relatives, sisters. He speeded it up, brought him to death’s door and He allowed him to die literally in the eyes of his sisters. Now, and then He says “This is not a death unto the death.” He must know something about life that He can turn it down otherwise you can’t say “a death unto the death,” then these are different degrees of death. So He shut down in the man’s mechanism some part of it to simulate the experience of death and when the sisters saw Him coming I know if I was one of those sisters the first thing I’d say in my mind, “Boy He’s the most ungrateful individual that stayed in our house, we sent Him a message that our brother died and He helped all those other people to get well and He wouldn’t come? I don’t want to see Him” but He read their minds that they put on a wonderful expression when they ran out to meet Him, “Master if you were here our brother would not be faring like this.” Can you just picture the relationship, how a Master is studying their behavior pattern, the subtle undercurrents of their thinking? They are disciples, they are not realized yet, He’s you’ve got to help them past their own problems, “Master if You were here, our brother would not be faring like this.” All right Master says, He looks at them, He’s going to go through the mockery of it because you know what He’s doing in the consciousness, He says “Where is the grave?” “But Master he’s been dead three days ago, he’s rotting, he’s stinking” who wants to go near the grave? “Show me where the grave is” so He comes to the grave and opens His mouth and He says “Lazarus come forth!” Then He turns around and in a small voice says “Father, I didn’t have to say it in a loud voice, only because of the people here.” Ain’t that kinda odd that a man is gonna shout with a loud voice to a dead man in the coffin or in the grave in the ground and then criticize Himself by saying “Father, I didn’t have to say it in a loud voice only because of the people here.” He’s got to know what He’s doing, there is a bond, a karmic link between Him and Lazarus the disciple, the man has wealth, the man has attachment, one of the toughest behavioral patterns to overcome let alone of freeing him to realize himself, to break this contact so that the only real attachment is the Divine Light. He has to bring him to the test or trial that will free him and at the same time He’s got to shake up the sisters to let them realize that He’s well aware that they would have criticized Him for not being there. He said He’s doing it in a loud voice to carry on the masquerade for them. By the time He heard the news of Lazarus, He could have think of it and brought Lazarus out of the grave, let alone go back and go through the charade of it. He’s doing it to help the disciple to gain the faith, that is what the relationship is being based on, gaining the faith, He does it in an openly way and Lazarus comes forth. That doesn’t say Lazarus is not going to die again but Lazarus is a new man in a different sense of the word now, the sense of attachment is gone, he is now master of himself, he now can turn loose, his home became a sort of an ashram. You know today we hear the Hindu people and the Chinese people building ashrams and this is a Satsanga place, it finally becomes an ashram after a while (inaudible then laughter). You can picture the same situation is going on in the home of Lazarus the night he came out from the grave, everybody is gathering there. This is exactly what is happening, the relationship is there, it has to be love. Now the Master Jesus had to perform feeding of his disciples, eating the Passover with them. Between them they didn’t have that much money to provide a sumptuous place, some other householder disciple had to make the provision and while they were busy debating where to eat the Passover, He called a few of them and says, “Go into the town and you’ll see someone with a white ass, tell him I’ll eat the Passover.” Don’t you see how that man was a householder disciple carrying on his duties and had to be in a way not in a position to be ostracized by his business partners or people around him that he was associated with that Jewish heretic or that Jewish beatnik, you know, or this new group of people that are forming? All these things are considered the great degree of compassion, the degree of realizing each man’s station in life of letting him work out the relationship with the Master consciousness. So the room was provided and He goes up, He’s eating the Passover, He’s even going to the most minute details in the presence of His disciples by telling Judas, “Go do what thou hast to do.” No man can point a finger “that’s the guy, that’s the guy who’s going to betray us.” Even up to him, the subtle currents are working in behavior, the love is working. All right let’s see a few more interesting Guru/disciple relationships. He’s on the boat, He’s sleeping, and the wind is blowing and the boat is tossing and everybody in the ship, their faith is being shaped, these are the disciples now and they cried out “Master we are drowning.” They’re drowning because of lack of faith, they’re not drowning because they’re in the presence of the Master, the Master certainly can’t drown in the ship, do you see it? (Inaudible) … his chosen twelve but that’s not true because others were chosen just the same, the householder (inaudible). Here they got to learn the lesson of being on their own, He’s in the ship and the ship is going through the… who really caused that wind to be there? He’s gonna put them to the test that can they really generate the faith or the love to stand on their own two feet. You know this is one of the things people complain when they come to Tyler Texas, the only thing they learn at this All Faith Fellowship is how to stand on your own two feet (laughter). One boy says to me, “If I ever learn anything for the short time I was here, I learned to stand on my two feet, I’m happy.” As my wife would say, “every pot has to sit on his own bottom.” (Laughter) but that is what life is you see. (Inaudible) So they are going to learn this lesson by being involved in a boat. He couldn’t let the boat sink because He would be sinking with it. He has to put them through that test, their lack of faith, but He stops the wind but He says, “Oh ye of little faith,” He rebukes them for they’re not having sufficient faith. 1:00 Again we see now there is another man who has a relationship with Him in a different way and that the a thief on the cross. He comes in at the last minute Guru/disciple relationship in a very subtle way, in a very profound way. There are two thieves on the cross now if these men give and take maybe five or eight years older or younger than Jesus, they might be boyhood friends, this can be assumed for the age bracket of the thieves on the cross because the conversation would bring up some strange relationships. One thief made the remark, Hey you buddy, why are you dying on a cross, why don’t you get off, you helped so many people, why can’t you help yourself?” This is only natural for someone to criticize another one if he has done something of public pain and now he’s put in the most ridiculous position, “why don’t he help himself?” The shoemaker never have shoes for his children and the baker don’t have bread for his family. You ever hear that story? And the candlemaker don’t have sufficient candles for his own people? The healer can never seem to heal himself? These are some peculiar aspects of the disciple relationship because “ego will” versus “divine will” is at work. Anyway one man is criticizing, now the Master is not saying anything He’s well aware that if you take up and if any man rail at a man of truth, before He has to answer someone would defend that man of truth. This is one of the unusual laws of life, if you are a man of truth or peace and truly live a life of creating peace and someone condemns you in some way, rest assured you don’t have to answer back, some other person will come to be the champion for you, the Lord has it all worked out with all the safety factors. Remember I said in the astrological makeup unrighteousness could never surpass righteousness, there is no way all the safety factors are all (inaudible) that something will come to work it off that you don’t have to get involved to commit yourself in rebuking the person. This is how that law worked, on the cross He’s hanging fully master of Himself, one individual is criticizing and throwing Him down and the other man is a criminal too and he immediately rebukes the other fella and says “We don’t have a right to condemn this man and we have a right to be hanging here or to be crucified, we’ve done something this man hasn’t done anything” then that shut up that man because the accusing finger point was pointed back to himself. The lord spoke through the man to put him in his place, instead of the Lord turning around and looking at him and says “Hey where do you know Me from that you can point your finger?” You see what I mean? The Lord didn’t have to do that, the Lord-consciousness or the Master-consciousness worked through another being to put the man in his right place, to give him the lesson of discipline. So that experience is a disciple relationship going on now and the first remark he makes to the Master Jesus is “Master,” he didn’t call him rabbi, he didn’t call Him teacher, he called him Master, he didn’t call Him Jesus Christ. When he used the word Master, he are not using it in the terms of “you are my Master and I’m your slave,” he had to have an awakening at that moment in consciousness but this was truly mastery of behavior, this is truly the way one works in consciousness, “Master remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.” Now if this man is a disciple of His we will find out pretty soon, I’m going to repeat that statement “Master, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.” (More loudly). “Master remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.” You notice that I repeat the same words, which tone of voice did that man use? Think clearly, if the man is a disciple, (more softly) “Master remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.” (regular tone of voice). “Master remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.” Okay, otherwise the answer given back would not be the answer if he was not a disciple but because he was a disciple the answer that is given back indicates that he was a disciple. The first way of saying it is one of humility and respect of the bond, the second way of saying it is a demand as if you owe it to me right? So the answer that returns to show that the Master had a bond with the thief on the cross He said “Verily,” that means it shall be so right now and verity means truth. “Verily on this day,” at this very instant not this Friday the year of whatever it is in that (inaudible) time, verily at this moment in time “You and I shall be in paradise.” Now He has to take that disciple home to consciousness. Now paradise most of us think is some little place in cloud nine where harps are being strummed you know and people are flying around there, nothing is done, but the word paradise can be recognized as two words, “Para” and “Dise.” “Para” means beyond, it’s Greek already and “Dise” is desire, a behavioral state, this is a behavioral science, the Guru/disciple relationship is a behavioral science, it’s a behavioral process “so you and I at this very instant will enter beyond all desires into a profound state of God-ness” therefore in the Catholic church that thief was called from that day on the Saint of the Impossible because it would be highly impossible for Man in a state of mind like his as a thief to warrant or merit liberation if the Guru or the Master-consciousness did not recognize and reach out and extended His grace. So you see that the Master-consciousness can absolve all behavioral patterns if we would but reach out but it will not resolve if we don’t reach out and we see that only once in the life of Jesus when He went to help some people at a certain part and they would not reach out and He turned around and said, “With these people I can do nothing.” The Master-consciousness in any form, shape, or manner in any age or human being cannot do anything for those who don’t want it. That’s why this type of relationship is maintained on the basis of love all the time not by coercion, not by fear, it is when we want so badly to unite ourselves with the Creative Intelligence we will hear of this relationship, we will hear of it because our love ready to grow. Now you see what a (inaudible) relationship the Guru/disciple relationship is? It’s called today in the Aquarian Age “the life of the initiate” more so as the household life, the household initiate life because we can live this relationship now with our God’s-self in a physical way all the time between husband and wives, brothers and sisters, we can live in an everyday work-a-day life, the initiate life, it’s a life of peace and love. 1:10 There is no imposition of someone tying a chain or putting a ring in your nose and pulling you along and say “I’ll take you to heaven” let alone try to convert you by miracles because the Master didn’t convert His disciples by miracles, He chose them, there were no miracles when they decided to follow Him, the miracles that came after when they couldn’t handle their own emotional problems, He had to give drastic things to cure them, taking them on a ship and let them feel like they’re going to drown that’s pretty drastic (Adano laughs) but it’s clear the medicine sometimes is harsher than the illness you know, you ever hear that statement? The medicine is often more bitter than the the actual illness. So equally true in the curing of the behavioral indifferences, the behavioral problems that we have to face, the cure sometimes can be pretty rough but don’t let the mind dwell on the different types of problems that come up remember this, the bonuses far exceed the problems in the initiate life or the Guru/disciple relationship life for those who have been initiates they can tell you the bonuses exceed the trials. Another thing I want to tell you about in the initiate life that once you follow the path the first few weeks can be quite trying or what you say “earth shaking” because you are bringing into focus many years of suspended karmic bits that we faced in a few seconds. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: So it can be washed away (inaudible). Any questions? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes they do because when the Master consciousness reaches out to pluck you out you know, these things begin to occur and then you find yourself moving upstream to that point of contact. Jesus told His own disciples when He initiated them, “Unto you are given the keys of the Kingdom but unto the masses never.” It meant that the whole of Jerusalem or the whole of Palestine would not follow the path immediately but they had had experiences. Now the fishermen and the other people had experiences, they all knew of certain psychic phenomena before they even met Jesus otherwise they would not even hang around John the Baptist, they had to have certain experiences before but they were looking for a more detailed way of life to apply it, they wanted a practical approach for the spiritual life and He came to them with a more practical approach than John you see. John was saying when he grabbed ahold of the people, “I baptize you! Repent! Repent in the name of the Lord!” You know that’s kind of drastic to grab ahold of someone and dunk them in the water and make them want to repent. So those who can take that type of conversion or dunking would be alright but there were a few in that group who needed love, they couldn’t take the harsh discipline. Remember Yukteswar was a disciplinarian in his own life, you know he told Yogananda he says “You would have to have more love because the people in the West ain’t going to stand for this kind of dunking.” They don’t appreciate that. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Muktananda who was sitting in the room, you know he’s like a school teacher and you know there was a young kid sitting there meditating and he was supposed to go out of the room with the rest because he was just coming in and he wanted us to be by himself. He gave a one look with his eyes and that guy was like they pulled the rug out from under him, he got up and walked out without even saying a word. Just a look with his eyes and that was it, it was like somebody hit him on the head. This american fellow by the name of Alpert, he made the remark he says, “It’s not so easy for Americans to accept some of these Indian Swamis, they are very harsh at times because they don’t stand no nonsense when it comes to behavioral patterns.” It’s either there you do it or don’t because there’s no “ifs or buts,” like Jesus said “You can’t serve Mamon and the Lord at the same time, you take your choice and get out.” One time a boy was visiting Muktananda in his retreat and this friend of mine told me what happened she said she was there and they were all sitting down and this boy came here for the three days and all he had is a notebook writing notes, making notes and asking questions. So Muktananda looked across, “Say young fellow you’re too busy trying to make a book while you’re here, you better leave because you have no time for that. Either you want to practice meditation or go home.” She said they’re that blunt at times yet there are those who work a bit differently. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: There was a farmer who went farming and had a bag of seeds, he threw some into the air and some fell on hard ground, some fell on what you say, “good ground,” some fell on semi-fertile. When a farmer plants he doesn’t ask if the soil is good or bad, he plants, now a spiritual teacher is acting as a channel to give initiation he doesn’t ask you your faults, he’s not concerned with your faults, he’s concerned with the God-self, the love of you. If whatever little falls inside there to stimulate that love, it’s suffience for him to have served its purpose. Someday, even not in his presence, there will be someone who may come along and meet you or him or her who has fallen away and he says “Ah, this is the teacher I need, I didn’t need the first one, I need this one” and in his presence a strange thing will happen in the face of the new teacher he will see the face of the other man that initiated, then he will learn the universality of all Souls. There was a Swami that came to this country and there were a few friends that I know who were initiated by Yogananda and they had fallen away too and when they met this one they thought this was their teacher, really their teacher now and when they went for the initiating you know what happened? They all admit they couldn’t see any difference in his face but it was like they were looking at Yogananda all the time. His face came pronounced over the man’s face and after it was all over the Swami made a remark and this was the remark he said “God is universal isn’t He beautiful?” The Swami knew, the Swami didn’t usurp the position to tell them “I am your teacher,” the Swami acted as a mirror for their own consciousness. The seed fell on a certain part of their devotion but certain karmic ties pulled them away to work it out before that devotion got strong. Now the devotion got strong they were able to go back to the path and they practiced their meditation and it’s not the Swami they’re attached to, they found now that the true Swami is themselves but the true God-self is the thing they were looking for all the time but they didn’t realize what was happening to them when they first started out. 1:20 So one does not think of remorse or loss, one hopes that the individual will wake up to the reality of it that someday he will know that there is no difference in none of the teachers, they’re all in one with God and it’s love that holds us together and I’m glad you brought that question up because this is true among many people including myself, to find out that we all have to go that road sooner or later to find out that there is the universality among all teachers. God is in everything and when you find it then the source starts with joy, to know that someone was considerate enough to give you a gift but you may not know the use of the gift. Let’s say when Jesus got the gift from the three wise men, He didn’t know what to do it when He was born and He might not have used it up to 12 years of age, He might even forgot that the three wise men gave Him that gift you know what I mean but something might have triggered Him off that He went seeking from 12 to 30, He was fortunate He met those same three men but He might have met three other men who would have set Him back in the same idea. So we find that though we may seem to fall away there is always someone who comes to show us the way and when we get the experience it’s love. Now in the case of the disciples with Jesus they fell away before His death you remember? They went through the same thing, they denied it, they shut it off, they wouldn’t even put their head in the chopping block for Him yet one man went (inaudible) even to ask for the body, he didn’t care of the criticism, Joseph of Arimathea, he went as far as even offering knowing someday these other disciples even given the room to use after the Master had gone on to let them go through the melancholy, the despondency, the blue,s the loss, the bereavement, the self-criticism hoping they would eventually awaken. He was awakened fully to what was happening so it was no surprise to him that the Master would appear to them in that upper chamber otherwise he would have not gone ahead and offered his service. It takes a great heart to have compassion to be a leader or to be the head of some organization or to be any businessman, a businessman lives with the ups and downs of life more so than the average individual because he’s constantly providing work for other people so he’s working in the divine flow of sustenance like a teacher or a Master so he understands subtle laws more but he may be a hard-headed only because he’s dealing with dollars and cents but inwardly he has an understanding more than most people until it’s brought to the surface. In the case of Arimathea he had this understanding (inaudible) then when Jesus manifested in the upper chamber then those disciples were awakened, they began to see now and to show you even though they had the awakening more, petty jealousies still continued in the highest initiate. I’ll show something of the petty jealousies and rash actions, Peter after the Master passed on and now they are all baptized by the Holy Spirit and they’re going out to teach and they’re founding what we call All Faith Fellowship now or their little communes now, one person was supposed to put something in the kitty and a man and a woman was supposed to sell their property and put something into the kitty to help the group but between them Peter knowing their wealth and then he saw what they give in a rash moment he made a statement and both man and wife died, you see? And then remorse sets in but it’s too late. All right then he sees another person who is not a disciple, who has just been converted by a very rash method being knocked off a horse, struck blind and had to be taken and led by the hand to the home of a householder disciple, his name was Saul and that disciple now all of a sudden starts regaining his sight and starts talking of this Christ awareness but he’s not talking to Jewish people alone, he’s talking to Hebrew people, Greek people, Roman people, all nationalities he’s communicating in their lingo or in their frame of reference and Peter gets jealous because he was supposed to be the great loudspeaker for Jesus, he was supposed to be the boy after Jesus was gone and here Saul, which his Paul now, capturing the crowd talking to everybody about this great Christ principle. Again he’s upset and when he was asked to heal a man when this happened, he refused but again he had to curb his consciousness and go back and the very fact that he passed and his shadow fell on the man the second time after he reconciled himself, the man was instantly healed, do you see how this is a behavioral science? We do go through this, it’s devotion, our devotion. Yogananda had a chant that went like this (Adano chanting) “Do not dry the ocean of my devotion, fill me with love.” (Gap in tape). But don’t let the outward life interfere with the inward life, they have to perform their duty in the outward life. The Master, he came to this country, he is a lawyer in his outward life he used to be and now he’s a farmer and there are many people in Washington who in their outward life are in the government but they are initiates following the inner path. Occupation has nothing to do, the inner path is inside all the time. Audience: (Inaudible). Some people have questions but they don’t seem to be asked them (inaudible). Adano: (Laughing) Well look at the disciples, they took on certain responsibilities, did the wrath of God come down and hit them? God is allowing us through love to follow the path, love must shed the patterns that interfere, it’s love by love we shed the different things that hold us back, the so-called habit patterns that we’ve created and generated before you are initiated, by this love they will be shut off, they will be shook off. God is not going to condemn us, no Master is condemning us (inaudible), “Ah ha you misspoke today (inaudible), punish you.” The only problem we make it difficult for ourselves, everyone wants to follow the path, everyone wants to measure up and in the measuring up we tend to have a sense of self-punishment or condemnation, this should not be in the path of the initiate. Look at this light, this is a candle, it’s lit when it’s lit it’s burning straight up but a little wind and see it flicker? As long as this container is around it it won’t go out but once you initiated the light of consciousness wouldn’t go off from you, there may be a flicker here and there occasionally by your own internal habit patterns, you are still the light of the world while you are in the world. 1:30 The Master cannot leave you, God can’t leave you we may go far, farther in all the stars when but in your heart if you say “My Lord, I will be thine always,” God (inaudible). The prodigal son left the home, went down into the pigsties, did the Father reject him when he was on his way back home? Same thing with us, initiation is a way of retaining the link between Man and God and turning back to God by the initiate method or the initiate away is an assurance, it’s a sort of a built-in insurance but that doesn’t say we should take advantage of it and not perform the basic disciplines but we should be able to be rational to know by love that the habit patterns will go, we must make an attempt to resolve these habit patterns and ask for the strength overcome it. Once you ask the Christ intelligence to give you the strength to overcome the problem then to say “I want to quit,” the Christ intelligence may not want you to quit right away too because you may not be asking the right question or the right need. It may want you to go to be more humble in saying you need strength to cope with this type of a habitat pattern. If you say “Okay, I’ll take away your habit pattern” it’s like peeling off the shell of a chicken coming out, that doesn’t make the chicken strong, it makes it weak but if the chicken would say ‘Give me more strength to break the shell,” in other words “give me more time,” let the air work upon you, inwardly say to yourself “I need the inner strength, the time, the inner strength of time to cope with this thing. I know it’s not the (inaudible) but I want the strength,” by affirming the strength to do it more so than the removal of it instantaneously, you will find that you get the strength, the love will come, all of a sudden it will fall off, you will notice the urge seems to disappear. I know in my case the urge just dropped because the strength comes now to take the place of the urge. Audience: (Inaudible). What greater punishment can there be than to miss an opportunity of being close to God. Adano: In other words, to miss day is just prolonging the time between you and your beloved. The daily meditation we all know it’s only a minimum of two and a half hours in a whole day. How many things you do in the other twenty two and a half hours or twenty one and a half hours? But the fact years ago I would miss my meditation and I feel despondent and I said “I need the strength to sit down and meditate,” God even provided me the time to do eight hours a day and you know what? I found that even eight hours you can be twiddling your thumbs too, the meditation is one of love and devotion. You can be sitting like a lump on the floor there wishing for this thing to happen and no love, no love is coming, and you’re struggling but all of a sudden you will let go and lo and behold love flows in and the moment the love in you can sit there for hours without moving because it’s love but to sit there and struggle and no love, nothing is happening but just to come in and sit with love, to feel that love you can sit for hours and if you want to sit in the lotus posture that again is difficult at times but if you got love you can sit in the lotus posture in meditation for hours and it doesn’t bother you. It hinges on love and your greatest communion with this Divine Self is based on the love. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No, no, no he’s sitting in the rose petal position now (laughter). The rose petal position? (Laughter), good old fashioned Western style, that comfortable and natural position is like the bed of roses you know, no no no pressure nothing, that’s what they call the bed of roses, I call it the rose petal position, it’s a relaxed comfortable position. I think the waterbed is better than the roses now (laughter). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well it’s not wise to meditate flat on the back because you’ll have a tendency to fall asleep and Jesus when He was in the body had a choice of three positions in meditating. One is to kneel down which the Catholics and the early Christians have all developed because it kept the mind more alert but then it was pretty rough on the kneecaps and the Hindus by tradition like to sit in the lotus position but then again for Western people we don’t have the body shape to always sit in that position. So yoga men realizing that resting man is designed a little different, gave us the rose petal position just a normal relaxed situation and comfortable. I call it the rose petal position because it’s so relaxing to just want to sit and if you feel more comfortable pull your legs up.
1971 December 22 - Satsanga Wedding Pendulum
Adano71_12_22SatsangaWeddingPendulumQ3RR - It’s better to mentally say it no matter how incorrect you may think you are saying it, it will eventually correct itself inside (inaudible) the whole mind will eventually start the correcting to pronounce it correctly, you’ll find your mind will gradually lead you to pronounce it correctly. See this is one of the peculiar safety factors of it that the inner Man will correct these things. Audience: Well what what is this now Hari Nama? Adano: “Hari” means hail and “Nama” means name. Audience. So this is nearly telling about the name, this is not the name. Adano: Or “praise be to the name.” Audience: And it says “Nama presided and will awaken the seeker but you need a teacher, a Guru to help you to hear the Nama in your heart. Adano: Right see “Nam” or name as it is called, Sat Nam is the name to hear that name being told to you from an oral point, that’s why they say you seek another human being to give it to you. To tell you the technique involved in it between taking it in vain or hollowing it you see? Now you can use any word for that matter if you want but any word would work providing if you did it in a hallowed state, do you follow what I’m trying to say? To say that that is the only name of God would be incorrect, you can take a name of any word or any language because many men would not be able to say but it’s the way it should be used that it would hollow it. Audience: We do a lot of exercises in the name of the Christ. Adano: Right and if you do it in the state of hollowing it, it’s just as effective (inaudible). Audience: Is this an East Indian name? Adano: No it’s Sanskrit but Sanskrit is this (Adano claps his hands). Audience: What do you mean? Adano: (Claps his hands again), that’s Sanskrit. If you could do that with your vocal cords, you would make my hand do that every time. (Adano claps his hands repeatedly). If you can only simulate with your vocal cords that sound, my hand will go like that all the time that’s the power of Sanskrit, “san-skrit” not written. Audience: “San-skrit” far out, really? Adano: We only write it in terms to relate, it’s all the sounds of creation because the whole universe is congealed sound. Now Man is imbued with the ability to make sound with his vocal cords but if he can intone those sounds correctly, mentally or orally to such a pitch he will cause these conditions to come about. Didn’t Caruso break glass with his voice? Well that’s only a small indication of what Sanskrit is. Audience: But it is written? Adano: Right, but it’s called Pali when it’s written, means abridged. Pali means abridged, it’s not in alliance and you have to learn to pronounce it. Audience: Would there be any translation from the Sanskrit? Adano: Well the translation would not give the indication of what it is, you see the the pineal gland is making that sound already. Now in your nostril there’s a sound going on in your nostril and that sound if you were to give it some physical word, it will sound like (Adano sniffing). Now if I wanted to write that down the only thing I can write down is hamsa or “So Hong” but that would be an incorrect way to indicate that sound. Now if I wanted to give a meaning all I can say is “I am, I am, I am, I am” so the word “So Hong” when translated from the oriental language into english means “I am” so english professor says “what big difference if I breathe in and breathe out, what makes the I am?” I am the breath there. See the thing is the sound itself and since Man has a tendency to want to communicate that sound by his voice, this is what the ancient Sages are calling “taking it in vain.” If he would bring his mind in alliance with the sound then he would be (inaudible) it, then he could beam it and creation is an ultrasonic form of concentration. Now Jesus demonstrated this when He was standing at the grave of Lazarus, He said “Lazarus come forth!” Then He turns around and says “Father I didn’t have to say in a loud voice, only because of the people around me.” This shows a tremendous indication of the power of that is inferred that if you understand the principle of the Holy Name, you can beam this thing like a laser beam with the intent and it will do its work and you don’t have to shout at the world. Audience: Had this experience with mental patients. Audience: Isn’t it true that in (inaudible) as we progress the time will come when some future age that we will be able to use the word as a creative word when we become co-creators with God? Adano: Yes. Audience: We’ll create through the sacred word. Adano: Yes we will. Well let’s get started, we have a ceremony to go through yet. Audience: (General inaudible conversation)… wedding ceremony… Adano: … the Masters bringing some form or manner, let alone people don’t know of it and when the masses do that the first person to contact me or invite me is the Master’s contact. That person I have an attunement with all the time, that person is the channel because that’s where the Master connects me up with that area. So in the Fellowship’s work I try to maintain that as a form of contact with each area I go into but in the past few weeks in our group in Tyler we’ve decided to call each one in the area the regional director of that area as a point of contact. When I came to Virginia Beach it was true a girl that I met in South Carolina who told me, her mother lived in Virginia Beach and was a member of ARE and would like me to come in this area. Well they tried and I know the Lord didn’t work it out for them until at the last moment when I did arrive and that was sometime in the month of February and this is my third return, no I gotta say it’s the fourth time in Virginia Beach in one year, which is unusual for me to be in any one spot. Well that person is Mrs. Hughes, Abbey Hughes, and I’m here strictly because Master’s current worked through her to bring me here and she was the first initiate and by our rules in the Fellowship that person is our original contact so that is on record in every one of the places. Now we have one in Dallas as an initiate which is the regional director but now he’s been moved up to the board of directors in the actual Fellowship itself in the board of trustees so his name is Mr. King. Eventually it is our wish that the regional directors become the ones that move into the board of trustees and then they in turn, working with the local group and those that work around them, would make up part of the local group and govern their own selves. 0:10 We don’t want to impose our will or no group, we want them to function totally within their own frame of reference and coordinate so Mrs. Hughes is regional director for the Virginia area. Now we have a corresponding secretary in every area to where news go to go out which we’ve assigned by the person work along and in this area we have chosen Mrs. Trope to be the corresponding secretary to coordinate activities, whatever it’s going to do like in this preparation for my coming and working and sending the advanced notice we sure appreciate it and I know my wife sure enjoyed that part so thank you all. Now someone I know this area every year collects money for my traveling funds because it’s very difficult, for myself I’d like to pay my own way instead of you folks having to dig out but we found that everyone wants to share so each area has some person who collects and arranges that part so they call that person the treasurer and I think by agreement with myself and wife and Masters I think Mrs. Johnson, Gene, would make a good choice. Don’t look around, it’s you. (Laughter). And every years is doing tapes because they want to keep a record of everything that goes on in the area I’m in and we’d like to share these tapes around or whatever people want to buy them so in this area tape director is Mr. Trope. He’s the only person that arranges the tapes and gets them all organized, technical knowledge. Ok takes care of the people we are primarily in contact all the time that doesn’t say the others are not going to be in contact with us. Audience: We’ll have plenty of jobs for you. Adano: John I gotta be really thankful that Virginia Beach has produced such a wonderful person. Audience: New York. Adano: Yes we have experienced tremendous differences in the people that come from various areas to Tyler and we are very impressed with those that come from Virginia Beach, they have something that Casey’s work has done for them, has laid the groundwork for them to understand the Master’s works and we’re very happy to see that in John. Audience: We have certainly notice the difference (inaudible). Adano: Even if I step on his feet once in a while. Audience: (Inaudible). I’m blushing. Adano: We’re gonna make you a traveling orderly, like Mutkananda he has his traveling troop. Anyway each area they have meetings and there is always an open meeting and a closed meeting, isn’t that true? Audience: Open meeting and a closed meeting. Adano: The closde meeting is for the initiates to get together and meditate solely which I hope every area is doing because that is the primary purpose of the group meditation at that night and closed meeting, once I know the night is assigned my consciousness is attuned and at that night also I hope every time it’s done there’s a rotation because each one in that group will get the blessing from the Master’s grace so no one is in a position to say that he’s hogging it up because we want everyone to share in that grace, to be a channel at that night for the initiates, we hope this can work for everyone so that we rotate that. The open meeting is different because these are newcomers coming in and this you can share among yourselves, if you’re you’re busy one night and so forth but in the initiates meeting we would like it rotated among the initiates every time so that they do get the grace to flow at that night because the consciousness is locked in them. Audience: Well some of them they do this rotation by alphabetical order (inaudible). Adano: Well you might get billions of “A’s” and no “B’s.” Audience: By rotation do you mean go to the various homes? Adano: No necessarily the homes if you have 25 initiates and the last name begin with “B” then they go down the line but most of us our last names don’t end with “B” so one may be Jones, one may be Williams, or Frank if you take them in alphabetical order and in that way out of the 25 each time you have a closed meeting one of the names will be or the person will lead the meditation. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Acts as a channel, yeah. Audience: Now if some person whose turn it is can’t do it that night, well it’s succeeding person could take it over or else they trade off with somebody. Adano: It’s not a rigid thing, it is to give each one a chance to be a channel at that night. See it’s not me who wanted initiates night meditation in the first place, this was brought into focus by the Masters who gave an experience to some of the initiates in their own meditation and dreams and inner revelation that we should have an initiates’ meditation night and they are the ones over the years have been asking for it so it has been set up that way. I don’t act until I’m directed so and in this way since each person will have a chance to be a channel then you can rotate it alphabetically among yourselves, whatever you want to do and you’ll be strangely surprised, it’s the Masters who will be selecting if you draw lots too so nothing to worry about, it’s just a matter of being a channel at that night. Now noticing one more interesting thing that when people send funds to us they write it down to Adano Ley, please don’t send funds to me, make any payment to the All Faith Fellowship. It isn’t that I would not accept it but I can’t accept it under the circumstances in which I’m associated with the Fellowship, it must be made out to the All Faith Fellowship. You see I have a vow to myself, I don’t want to be paid for my services in any way, shape, or form to the Fellowship and when checks are made to me, it puts me in an embarrassing position. I’d rather them be made out to the All Faith Fellowship and that way I know the Fellowship is being taken care of. I would contribute my own out of my own pocket when I work so that’s another thing. As far as tithing, again it’s all in All Faith Fellowship so you have a legitimate way to check your own self if you want to have Uncle Sam rebate you in some way, shape, or form. See I was told by someone in Tyler that you can write off your donations and even if you don’t want to have it rebated to you in your name, you can still rebate it back to the All Faith Fellowship. (Laughter). You see if you don’t even want to claim your refund on it, the taxman says you still can send it to the Fellowship even if you got 20% return and you don’t want to claim it back because it’s a donation given to the Church or something and you write that off and they rebate you, even that you can still put it back in that name and do it. He says that will free you from the guilt feeling that you are getting a return from Uncle Sam for giving a donation and this is legitimately legal from the law so in that way we kind of cleared up in most people who have that mental problem. Audience: Even though you have sent checks to Adano, it’s been endorsed “All Faith Fellowship” and you are listed as contributing on our record (inaudible) and an accountant audits the books and they are open anytime anybody wants to see them. 0:20 Adano: Ok, I think that takes care of most of the basic things we want to announce about the Fellowship and this regional area. I want to take this opportunity now to thank everyone instrumental in making the lectures a success and getting this place all fixed up by the grace of God and tonight. Audience: I think we should give everyone a standing ovation, thank you. (Applause and then inaudible conversation). Audience: And on behalf of everybody here I think that I should express to Adano, on behalf of everybody here I should think I should express to Adano and his good wife our very deep appreciation of their coming here and giving their time and their remarkable talents, a great blessing for all of us. (Applause). Audience: This is our privilege, thank the Masters. Adano: There are a few questions that do come up and I think if I’m in order to say it. One, every group has a problem with the healing technique right? Audience: Yes. Adano: Okay to avoid all future complications, Master like myself I like to make it simple. Take all the names of the people, put them all in one box, put it there and just sit around and each person sit in his own chair where he wants to sit and raise his left hand and stretch out his right hand towards the box, if the box is on the table and wherever you are with that attitude, and repeat your particular mental vibration. So if you got a hundred names in there, don’t bother to call the names no more, their names are in the pot and just say “Divine Will flowing through me will do whatever it is: eliminate, dissolve, rebuild, or strengthen, so forth and that’s it. In that way you eliminate all complications so if you have a name to bring and you want to put it in the box, throw it in the box and you don’t have to empty the names, you just keep adding to it because the more prayers you give them the more they get and don’t forget your own name. (Laughter). We all needed it too you see so that makes it a whole lot simpler for everyone. So you put it there and just repeat it and I think you would have had no complications because I know if someone sits in the chair and then you have a hundred hands reaching out for him before you know it the poor fellow be down on the floor. (Laughter). Audience: (Inaudible) yourself at home because we have a bible open in practically every room in the house because when you can see the vibrations that emanate from those holy scriptures, you want them pouring out as much as possible and I keep all my children, grandchildren, and special friends or anyone special for whom I’m praying, I keep them in my bible and just go by and just stop and put your hands in there, “Oh thank you Lord.” (Inaudible) and it does something to you. Adano: You see we all need help even every initiate needs it and if you know that others are praying for you it gets your ego out of the way because you’re praying for others. So if your name is in there don’t bother, you got hundreds of praying for you and you don’t have to worry about yourself, you’re praying for others. So I think the simplest way is take a box and just put the name of the person, put it in the box (inaudible) and just add to it and therefore at the initiates’ meeting everyone can offer to pray before going home, that can end the meeting that way and try to make that meeting one of the least amount of conversation because in channeling you have a whole lot of mental turmoil to combat in the first two hours you know, when you come in to meditate so you want your mind to be clear when you’re going to an initiates’ meditation that you’re going there to gather an alignment in consciousness not only your area but there are many in other areas who are lining up with you at the same time you see and the group in South Carolina is lining up, possibly the one in Dallas is lining up, myself in Tyler, Pascagoula, and many other places are all lining up so this is a tremendous alliance in consciousness and many experiences can begin to happen in consciousness when these are set up. Audience: Are you saying that even before the meditation there should be less gossip. Adano: Yes but get over the business first before the meditation, the meditation should be the honey, it’s the nectar that you’re coming for, the business can be taken care of immediately and be through but then get into that meditation and then end it up with that healing and carry that glow, that conscious light with you, I think that’s what keeps us together as a unit. Do you have something to say love? Audience: And even more important than not talking so much beforehand is not talking afterwards. Yogananda says it’s just like punching a hole in a bucket of milk, every word you say after meditation. Adano: It’s like letting the whole thing out. Audience: And then speaking of the box, we have at home a heart-shaped candy box. Adano: We chose the heart because it’s closest to your heart. Audience: We haven’t been going through the ceremony so much at home but that’s what I had for years. It’s a little bit battered now from many years but Valentines is coming up, you’ll find somebody to get you heart shaped boxing. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well is there any other question anyone would like to ask? Audience: While we’re here, could we have the translation of the chant, the meaning of the words of the chant? Adano: “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudeva.” “Om” is hail, “Namo” the name, “Hail to the name of the Lord “Bhagavate.” Vasudeva, “eternal preserver of light.” Audience: Would you repeat the words? Adano: “Om Namo” “namo” is name or “nama” is name, it depends on how you want to pronounce it, “namo” or “nama,” but it’s “Namo” in the chant itself. “Om Namo Bhagavate.” That’s where you get the word “Bhagavan,” Krishna was often called the Bhagavan, Christ was called Bhagavan or Lord. The Bhagavad Gita would be the Song of God. “Hail to name of Lord or God, eternal preserver of light,” Vasudeva. See God is light and at an initiation you are hooked to the light therefore the invocation is invoking the Current and the Sound in yourself so you got that? “Om Shivaya” is hail to the Lord as the regenerator because this is the regenerate life, the initiate life is a life of self regeneration by self effort. 0:30 In other words I ain’t going to meditate for none of you, you meditate for yourself, I can’t do it for you you know what I mean? Put it that way. This is a do-it-yourself process, everyone will be doing it himself, he’s given the keys he must do it. Now there’s another chant and I will chant it tonight it’s called “He Bhagavan” and that’s pronounced H-E-Y and the last word is Bhagavan, it means “Oh Lord.” Now that chant is a chant and it’s done in a lament, you know the feeling of a lament? When done in that tone it triggers the aspect of the mother principle of God because it’s like the whole universe is summing up a wailing to the Creative Intelligence so it’s done in a lament tone. The other chants you’re familiar with in English? Alright, any other question? Audience: I want to ask about healing, somebody told me that unless you were some special person that you’re not supposed to heal. Adano: Well let me clarify that again for initiates, initiates are not supposed to go out and convert anybody let alone to go and offer their service to heal people. Unless they are asked or they are told by someone that such-and-such a person is ill “would you pray for that person and think of that person” then the initiate can do it but to go on his own and look up for somebody to pray for them and do it without that person asking, we are in a sense trying to take the shell off the chicken and not giving it a chance to grow, he needs that illness in some degree to gain an inner strength. Now when someone makes a statement “we have such and such a friend and he’s been ill, could your group pray for us or pray for him?” Or you would offer that maybe we could pray for him… Audience: Well if he doesn’t know about it how about that? Adano: Well in that case you send the thought that he would ask. You see you don’t usurp the position of trying to jump the gun. If he would ask, it’s in this respect that’s why Jesus said when He went to a certain place “With these people I can do nothing,” no one was asking for it, they didn’t want it and every person He did help asked in some sense of the word. Audience: Supposed person is desperately ill and can’t ask? Adano: Then however the information gets to you is a form of asking, you see? However that information comes to you of the knowledge that that person is desperately ill, whoever brings that information to you is asking in proxy then the group can go ahead and do it. Audience: That really isn’t my question though. In this meeting I understand that one time you were supposed to have a healing service I wasn’t here (inaudible)… Audience: Different vibration though. Audience: You’re talking about when you opened up your apple? Audience: Yes, keep going. Audience: Four different types of… Audience: Yes that’s what I mean. Adano: Alright, good. Now those who have been initiated that have the apples I know. Okay well let’s look at some of them and then we’ll establish… The minimum time is about three months before we look at them so it has three months gone already? Audience: No. Adano: No so let it remain for a while, I will be back here on my way back through to Tyler and that will give you about three months period then. We normally don’t like to open them before three months because we want it to go through a certain condition to establish certain things. Audience: Well I thought this but everybody else said “open it.” Adano: No let me clarify that when the person is initiated and the apple, the minimum time is three months before you check it out and if it is still going good and firm after three months, don’t bother just leave it there on the shelf, surprise yourself for three or four years from now. Audience: Well what does it mean if it stays firm? Adano: That it’s doing good. Now there are four ways it breaks down, it’s not that you’re better than the other person or somebody is worse than you, these are just four ways that the current is established in your brain with the Christ principle. One way it will turn watery and mushy and the water will not go even for a year and it will stay that little residue of water still stay there, it’s a peculiar phenomena, that’s why they call it dissolving, is the principle to dissolve, it represents the principle to dissolve. The next way is that the apple will become a little squashy and get like a mold or powder all over it so it’s called powdery, that is the principle of eliminating. Now a third way the apple would actually shrivel hard like a prune, no water in it at all, dried up no powder of any kind, it’ll just look like a hard prune that is called to strengthen. Now the fourth way the after will remain firm, wouldn’t break down for seven eight months to a year, two years, three years then it will start to break down but after this past seven months it has established itself to rebuild. Now there’s a fifth way which would be unusual but not impossible, the apple would grow an extra quarter of an inch, the upper portion would be green just like it’s on the tree, the odor would be doubled its odor in the room, you would smell it so strong you couldn’t help smelling it and that never breaks down, it remains like that all the time. Audience: I smell mine all the time, everyday when I enter the room. Adano: Good! Audience: I do, I even mention it to my husband. Adano: All right so keep it and don’t worry because that apple indicates mastery of life over death, you see that’s a frequency. These are five frequencies that a Master has to achieve, it’s in the five fingers, this is the earth frequency which is mastery of life over depth, this is the frequency to rebuild, this is the frequency to strengthen, this is the frequency to eliminate, and this is the frequency to dissolve. Audience: So can a person (inaudible) on any of these frequencies or give a healing ministration? Adano: Yes he has this because when he reaches out the one is radiating out that he’s attuned but eventually he will be gradually working all five of them as he evolves himself in his meditation, all the five frequencies will start to flow out of his mechanism but he first has to establish the frequency he came in on then see how he’s advancing in all of them so he has something tangible to work with well. Well I think my wife wants to demonstrate now the holy breath and its effects on alcohol to see what the holy breath really can do and what are marvelous… Audience: (Inaudible then laughter then general conversation). Adano: You’ll begin to appreciate now what consecration is in the hands of an initiate at the holy communion. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Any gentleman around here want voluntary. Audience: You’re going to have a little more in there. We can put it back in, we won’t throw it out. (Inaudible). Someone want to read it? Audience: I can’t see, where does it show the readings? 0:40 Audience: (Inaudible). An initiate brought this and said this was this… (Inaudible) Audience: … you have to fill it up high and it sinks into the density, yes it’s got to be very much deeper. Audience: They had it all fixed up before and I didn’t do anything but just do the breath over it. Audience: Yes it’s the weight of it. Adano: You need a deeper glass or something. Audience: Mercy, let’s just put it back in the bottle. (Inaudible then general conversation). Audience: Liquor does cause such complications (laughter). Audience: Dave will you go upstairs and a tall glass, a clear one please. Audience: Or some tall container. Have y’all heard the little story I tell in connection with this about some initiates’ experience? Well Adano was away on a job and here I am with this group of initiates you know to try of work with while he’s gone and trying to explain some of these things to them so one day I said in desperation I said “bring some liquor with you” and I’ll show you something. Somebody bring it, I don’t want to touch it, bring some cups and so I had them pour out one cup that I did the breath over and then a little bitty taste, each one in a little cup and I did the breath and so that made just one registration and initiates know what I’m talking about. They tasted that and they tasted their own little taste in their cup and they could taste the difference that was made in it so I told them see if the whole breath will have that much effect on something as gross as liquor, how much more effect will it have on this extremely delicate responsive instrument which is the human body that has much of a Divine Consciousness working in it so that they could realize that this is not just a psychological something that we tell them to do or that the Masters have given us to satisfy the mind you know that something is occurring, it’s actually… (gap in tape then general conversation). Adano: (Inaudible) you got your red roses and white roses Gene? (Inaudible). Audience: Do you want to just to lift this round over there and you stand under there? Adano: Well this would be better if I can look this way. Audience: Look what we’ll do, we’ll get a couple of the fellas over here and get him to lift this where it’s right like that and Tracy can sit right there so Adano can stand here on the right, he has to read this, okay somebody on the other end? (Inaudible then general conversation). 0:50 All Chanting: “Om” (5x). “Thou art my life, Thou art my love, Thou art the sweetness which I do seek (2x). In the thought by my love brought (2x). I taste Thy name so sweet, so sweet. Devotee knows how sweet You are (2x). He knows whom You let know.” (all chanted 5x). Heavenly Father, Divine Mother, beloved Jesus, and the Masters and Saints and Sages of all religions be Thou present at this holy ceremony of marriage. You are the Divine Witness between two Souls who are joining themselves in divine union to pursue the spiritual path, the physical harmony, and the mental balance. May your presence grace be here present now as they are joined together in mutual spiritual marriage. Please close your eyes and let’s meditate on these thoughts. There are several principles upon which successful marriage is based. Father make this occasion holy and lasting in their hearts and minds, unite them in Thy sacred bondage of Divine Love, be the witness of this ceremony. The principles upon which successful marriage is based are unconditional love, friendship, helping each other, and spiritual living are the factors that make marriage harmonious and happy. These principles are embodied in your marriage ceremony and vows, realize that God and the Holy Ones are present and are witnessing your marriage ceremony. May the groom offer his red rose to the bride and repeat while holding it, “Dearly beloved, I offer you this rose as a symbol of my love for you.” Look into each other’s eyes please. “Our love I will express by kindness, respect, faith, and trust in you until the end of life.” The bride offer her white rose to the groom, holding onto it and looking into the eyes and repeat “Dearly beloved, I offer you this rose as a symbol of my love for you. A love I will express by kindness, respect, faith, and trust in you until the end of life.” Keep these petals as a reminder of this bond. Now place the hands as you exchange the roses (inaudible). Incense is the symbol of the eternal fire of God’s love, melting two Souls into one Soul, two minds into one mind, two hearts into one heart, two loves into one love, two lives into one life. Repeat after me by looking into each other’s eyes, “I am thine, thou art mine so that we may may merge unto God. Body, mind, and Soul we cast into the flame of love to be purified into Cosmic Love for all Mankind. We will cooperate with each other so that we may harmonize with the laws of truth. We will love each other so that we may know God’s love. We will merge our desires for the highest common good. We will love each other unconditionally. 1:00 Through our love we will forgive each other always. We will love each other in order to be loyal to Divine Love. May our half Souls join into the one spirit of God. We aspire to bring Souls on the Earth plane to worship God as newborn Souls. May our children serve as spiritual ushers to bring other Souls back from delusion’s home into the eternal freedom in God. May we love each other unselfishly, ever increasingly until our love become the love of God and the Masters. We aspire to be united by Spirit and by the bonds of inner liking, mutual intellectual affinity, and physical attraction. We will never cease to be friends even if our bodies are parted by death or other circumstances. We are united to fulfill the law of creation and through our perfect love to find the perfect love of God.” Since you don’t have rings yet (inaudible) by holding the hands instead. “I Bill take thee Jean Louise as my wife for worse and for better, to love, honor, cherish till death do us part.” We are going to reverse it now. “I Jean Louise take thee Bill for worse or for better as my husband to love, honor, and cherish till death do us part.” By the power vested in me I pronounce you both man and wife and in the name of God, Christ, and the Holy Masters They also pronounce you man and wife and a symbol of Their testimony these petals is Their blessings on the marriage. Now we come to the spiritual part of the fire ceremony. Fire is a symbol of Divine Will, it is also the flame and spiritual aspiration in Man for union with the Divine Will. Before we do this ceremony you can kiss the bride. Now the man will repeat after me and when they repeat as soon as you finish you will throw the match into the fire. (Inaudible). (Adano has the man chant several Sanskrit syllables) Adano: Throw your stick into the fire. (Adano has the woman chant several Sanskrit syllables). All the group will chant now. Chanting: “Listen, listen, listen to my heart song (2x). I will never forget Thee, I will never forsake Thee (2x).” (All chanted 5x). Now it’s customary when the bridge and bridegroom leave their home to go and get the paternal blessing of the parents but since there are no parents there myself my wife would act as proxy for the parents and we give the blessing of the father and the mother (inaudible). And now you give back the blessing to your parents who made it possible to come into this world so that you could find your Soulmate. (Inaudible). Audience: Roses, roses, roses. Adano and Group: Roses to the left, roses to the right, roses front and behind. Roses, roses, roses. (Long lecture by somebody in the audience).
1971 December 23 - Margaret Adano Baptism Satsanga
Adano71_12_23MargaretAdanoBaptismSatsangaQ3RR - (Long lecture by somebody in the audience). 1:06 Audience: Adano would you explain to me (inaudible) what it signifies? Adano: The magnetic energies enter your left hand, you see this is the entrance and this is an exit through the right hand. So for centuries Man saw this from inside when he meditated, how the influx came in from the negative pole and went out through the positive poles and by learning to relax which is the basic key for transmission of any flow of life. See God is life and the Creative Intelligence flows in and has another entrance which is the key entrance, the medulla, so by identification and by sensitivity of feeling and you keep your hand like this you are locked… (Gap in tape). 1:15 Adano: Well you know last night we were looking at the Aquarian Age and you know Gemini is located at the throat on the right side and the Moon is in Cancer right? What day in the year did Man land on the Moon? Audience: July 20th, 1969. Adano: July 20th, 1969, that’s Cancer. Gemini is Man and Cancer is in the Moon so how would it be impossible for Man not to land on the Moon in the Age of Aquarius in the sign of Cancer? So you see the Yogis are way ahead before other people know what’s going on. By the inner astronomy or the inner workings of the astral body we know what’s going ahead, back in time and forward in time. You have a Master key within your own make-up independent of the heavenly bodies. As Yukteswar calls it He says, “If unwise men make a scrawl of the heavens, don’t blame them.” The inner wisdom is always locked up in your own body if you would look inside for it, that’s just one little clue of the Aquarian Age. There’s so much we can’t go into it, we’ll try to gradually present it more and more but we hope to put it into a big book to give you some good views on the Aquarian Age but that’s one interesting fact, that Man had to land on the Moon in the sign of Cancer in the Aquarium Age, there was no possible time plotted in the cosmic clock for him to do it. Now from the moon to the sun that’s what we call the journey to the stars. One of the Indian prophecies on this continent is that when Man begins to journey to the stars, it is the liberation of the American Indian. Audience: (Explanation of prophecies). 1:20 Adano: You see according to your Casey writings if we’re going to have Earth changes by the time the Earth changes begin to affect the planet, the areas where the Indians are confined to, the progress made by Man in space would have need of those resources and they would be the only people they would have to buy it from, that’s there liberation you see. Audience: (More explanation of prophecies). Adano: Yes the Indians do not accept their lot as something bad, they know they have done something wrong in time and they’re working it out in the humility and their prophets or their wise men have already assigned the time for their liberation but their liberation don’t come as what we think in terms of a hero coming down from the sky and knocking out the so-called enemy of the camp. You see the early Israelites wanted that against the Romans that some great hero would come down and free them from the Roman yoke but then the great deliberator or liberator came in the form of Jesus, they could not accept that kind of liberation. Audience: (More explanation of prophecies). Adano: Their new chief is a very young man and it was interesting to reactivate the campfires, the council fire is down in a grotto in Talaqua, one of their sacred spots, and when they gathered to reactivate it they went through their rituals all the old men who knew the rituals and it wouldn’t activate, it would not come up from the grotto from where it is and they could not understand and they went through the ceremony and there was a young boy in the group who shouted out, “You people don’t know nothing about your religion, all your rituals are a mess of nonsense, the veneer of the white eyes have killed your love for God” and then he started to dance in front of the fire and the old man says “What upstart do you think you are coming and tell us what…” but then he started to do the rituals in a few seconds out from the grotto came this flame shooting right up and they realized that he had to be the new leader for them so they crowned him the chief and he’s gone into inward training but they do have their rituals and they practice it. Audience: (Inaudible) Adano: Well there are many, several of the tribes the Kiowa, the Cherokees. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: In fact they have detailed markings on their artwork of the canals of Mars that they have recorded in their pottery and their jewelry. To understand it one has to be able to read how they’re hiding it as a code, passing it on through the centuries to their offspring. Audience: (More explanation of prophecies). Adano: Yes well the rainbow bridge is here, the Beatles call it the kaleidoscope eye, the Yogis call it the Eye of Shiva or the God-eye, and the Masons call it the one eye on the capstone of the pyramid but whatever eye you want to call it, it’s still here and you have to go inside to see it, the inner astral Man has everything locked up inside for all ages, it’s a matter of going in. Audience: (More explanation of prophecies). Adano: You see the Hewbrew people and the early Chaldeans were great astrological mystics and in all their wisdom they hid it in certain symbols so that throughout the ages it would be preserved and Man will come back someday to find it and we are gradually awakening in this age to some of these hidden symbols (gap in tape)… more and more but also there is the behavioral journey, there are two journeys going on in Man’s search inward (gap in tape)… and the behavioral journey. We can know life symbolically by reading it through the symbols that are left around us but how to behave while going through that journey, this is a different thing altogether. It is our personal behavior that gives us the liberation or leads us back to God realization. We have an environmental life but we also have an internal life. The environmental life is like your markings on the road, the exits, the entrances, the detours and so forth but your behavioral life is different you may be speeding along at 70 miles an hour and all of a sudden you see a marker says slow down detour and you’re gonna swear right away. You see your behavior life comes into a different action now, don’t blame the marker, the marker is there strictly as a indication of how the role is set up. Now our reaction to how we behave, that is the thing we’re going to be called to account for, our behavior on the journey inwards.
1971 - Recycling Diet
Adano71_RecyclingDietQ2 - (Copy of Adano68_10_12InitiateInstructionsQ1NW0 starting at 30 minutes).
1971 - Virginia Beach
Adano71_VABeachQ1 - Adano: No no no I’m just really saying these are chants that you have to know. Audience: During our weekly meetings we’ve noticed that we’d like to chant, if there is one (inaudible). Adano: That’s alright but actually when you come out of meditation you should come in silence see because if you come out in silence then the person can carry the silence and the peace or then if you end up with “It’s love, it’s love” you see “makes the world go ‘round.” That’s the chant for finalizing the evening, that’s the last chant you want to sing before you go. Audience: Adano, what is the best body position to meditate? Adano: Sitting down. Audience: Any particular ways (inaudible). Adano: No, it’s not important that’s only tradition just sit down like this and keep the spine straight. The important thing is to keep the spine straight and have the mind here, these here are necessary in the early stages of growth to get the mind here but the energy goes inside anyway and we’re not too concerned with the body, we’re concerned with the energy in here. See this energy here is only working like this all the time, the one in here is working like this. Audience: Are you supposed to keep your hands over your eyes, how long are you supposed to do this? Adano: Thirty minutes. Audience: (Inaudible), I can’t do it for 30 minutes. Adano: Well prop your hand up on a cushion you know or a pillow, it would be easy to do it. Enjoy it (laughter), that’s the purpose of the meditation, to enjoy. (Adano has a short meditation). See the presence is always around when you pull in consciousness, try to feel it more and listen because we are constantly in unity or communication from inside. That’s why you listen more and the more you listen, the more you’ll get the answers to your questions that are coming through your consciousness because it’s telegraphed by the love and sometimes you don’t need any answers for no questions because what is more important is that you feel love. See we don’t have enough love flowing to us in 24 hours and don’t even generate enough of it and when you can feel it and generate it then your whole body is transformed gradually, that’s the purpose of Darshan or Banderas or various contact with the spiritual guide to help you to feel more love. See it’s “love the Lord all the time with all your heart, mind, and Soul” so you begin to have the loving thankful nature which is pure devotion that everything is being taken care of and you’re just trust in this principle of love to take care of it and you will be given the guidance to act. Things fall into place, people come along and before you know it if you’re alert and aware you’re seeing it’s happening in the environment already to what you’re looking for, what you need. So it’s more of a photo finish existence, this is the purpose of the spiritual life because what is a miracle, just a photofinish experience but it happens all the time so expect the miracle and it’s always going to be there. See learning to feel love, feel peace, we don’t do much of this in our daily lives and we don’t have much organizations centered upon that type of thinking that you sit down and try to incorporate peace into your nature. You have to make it you know, “blessed are the peacemakers,” you’ve got to make this peace, you’ve got to manufacture it from within yourself by being conscious of it, “for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” For they are always at the very center of the reservoir of a being as you try to bring yourself more into peace, you are always staying in that reservoir, you don’t go out of the reservoir, you move in the reservoir of peace and this insulates you against the environment, it strengthens you against the environmental pull, the tension of the environment, the repercussions from the environment as you stay within the center of the peace and it’s feeling more than thinking, you have to feel. See we hear but we seldom listen and meditation is one of listening not hearing, it’s one of feeling. The more you listen and feel, the more you become engulfed in the unity of the joy, you begin to glow in your own being and then the mind don’t wander as much, the mind doesn’t become restless or irritable, it begins to experience the calmness. Then when the mind is calm then you can direct it on anything you want to do without getting uptight or fatigue or in a state of frustration, you can really concentrate then. See you can’t concentrate if you relax, you first got to be tense then relax then concentrate, you first got to create a condition to relax from it in order to focus but to just start off relaxing to concentrate, it don’t work that way. That’s why you go through the periods of anxiety, tension, restlessness, then you begin to relax from that state. After you relax from the tension, the anxiety, then the mind is calm then it can focus. It’s a three-fold movement first tension, relaxation, concentration or centering or being but you gotta have first the resistance, the anxiety, to relax from, to let go from in order to flow or center. So just close the eyes and enjoy peace, enjoy the harmony of being. (Gap in tape). 0:10 The roses represent God realization and the blessings of the Masters in all their ceremonies and if you keep some of the petals where you meditate or in a locket, it carries the vibration of Their presence all the time and it helps you in your meditation. It’s another form of Prashad, instead of just being something that you eat now, it’s the contact point with the vibration of the initiation. It helps you to relive the experience of initiation every time and expand your consciousness out more. Audience: Is it alright to give a few petals to someone? Adano: Yes it’s all right to give a few petals to someone, it helps them to raise their consciousness but there are some things that are given to initiatives that are for the initiate’s own use then they should keep it, it has a special blessing for their own personal development, do you have any extra Prasad that we can bless for that? Audience: Yes. Adano: So that this would be for each individual person’s own spiritual development, he uses it himself. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well if you break it up we’ll share it with everyone. Audience: Adano what do you mean (inaudible). Adano: They have the vibration of Master, I didn’t say magnetized. They carry the vibration of the Masters and the blessings and can be used in your meditation. It helps to raise your vibration in meditation. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You can add some more to it if you buy it and add some more to it but that would be just for your own personal use, you don’t share that with nobody. Audience: Adano how does Prashad work? Adano: Eat it, that’s the answer the Master gave. How does the food in my mouth taste in yours? Audience: (Inaudible) We cannot share the experience of Prashad inside with others, this is something you have to discover for yourself. All right, I’ll give you a couple examples and then maybe you’ll understand Prasad. You’re hungry, you’re thirsty, you just had an enema but you’re told by the doctor don’t eat because you’re gonna get constipation yet the odor of the food seems to give you strength. Wherever you are, the odor of food gives you strength, you understand Prasad now? Audience: Sustenance from just from the fragrance of the food. Adano: See doctor said “don’t eat, you’ll have constipation,” you just have an enema so what’s inside of you? Audience: Nothing. Adano: But if the odor of food gives you strength, what have you got now? See? That’s as far as I can describe Prashad how it works. I’ll describe Darshan now. Audience: It’s very mystical. Adano: Some people asked the grandfather of the present teacher, Charan Singh, what is Darshan? And He said “go to the village, you’re gonna meet two people who’ll tell you what it is.” So they went to the village, they spent a whole month and all this saw was too crows and they came back and said “Sir, we went to the village, we didn’t see anybody but all we saw was too crows.” he said “I’m sorry, maybe next month they’ll be there go back.” So they went back the second time, they saw two swans, nobody in the village, they came back and they said, “Sir, we didn’t see anything but we saw two swans.” He said “I’m sorry, I don’t know, they got to be there, I would not be lying to you, go back this trip one more time just try, you’re gonna see somebody that will tell you what Darshan is.” They went the third time and saw two people there so they said “Oh you’re the people that will tell us about Darshan” and the two people says “Oh you’re the two people that came and saw us the first time when we were two crows, second time you came back we were too swans, now you come back and see us we’re two human beings, we’re glad you saw a Master.” Darshan is like Prashad, how are you going to explain it (inaudible). See you just had an enema, you’re told you can’t eat you’ll get constipated and everything you inhale makes you strong. (Inaudible). The keys to the kingdom are the Audible Life Stream, the techniques of doing the Holy Breath, techniques of repeating the Holy Name, and the technique of listening to the current inside the brain and seeing the light, these three techniques is the key to the kingdom. The Kingdom of Heaven is within you you see, (inaudible) pulls up your consciousness and the downward current brings out your karma.

(2x) Heavenly Father, Divine Mother, beloved Jesus, and Masters and Saints and Sages of all religions bless this meditation with your presence, open the spiritual eyes, and take us back home to Satch Khand. Lead us from darkness to light, from ignorance to truth, from mortality to immortality. Beloved Masters there are many friends who are in need that are in sickness and suffering, need your intercession of grace and if it be Thy will pour down this grace upon those individuals who are in need. 0:20 Now raise the left hand and mentally think of the person who is in need, if you want to call out the name it’s alright. Maya Graves, Tony Lamar. Feel the Holy Spirit is passing into your left hand flowing out to your right hand, let us repeat “Divine Will flowing through us will dissolve and eliminate all those conditions that interfere with the normal and harmonious flow of the individuals.” “Divine Will flowing through us will strengthen and rebuild all those conditions that are necessary for the normal and harmonious flow of those individuals. It has been said, it is done, so be it.” (Chanting OM 7x and then short meditation). Heavenly Father, Divine Mother, Master Jesus, and the Saints and Sages of all religions. Permeate us with the fragrance of the rose, transform the bodily cells from the state of corruption into a state of non-corruption. Let us put on this body of immortality consciously, let us perceive the divine presence of bliss, and may the peace profound flow through us now and envelope us in a golden blue white light clearing all the brain fatigue, the brain fog, the brain darkness out, filling us with light. (Meditation). 0:32 Initiates can hallow the Holy Name, non-initiates can mentally repeat “Father I love you.” (Meditation). 0:40 Partially open the eyes. (Meditation). Now completely open the eyes and feel the Christ love flowing through them. The Christ in me loves your Christ in you. (Meditation). 0:42 Thank you. Audience: (General conversation). Adano: You know in the Hindu philosophy is when a man bathes the the Holy Ganges, all his sins leave him and go on top the leaves of the trees and wait for him to come out. Audience: And we got a lot more information about the symbology and particularly of the dove, the Holy Spirit there’s seven aspects and seven ways in which the dove is presented and at the chapel of the Holy Spirit they have this presented across the chapel and the base of the chapel and the ones (inaudible) and ours is the one that represents Godliness, the aspect of Godliness. Adano: And it’s exactly the blue ring and the three bars and the dove coming down, straight down. Audience: And the girl that did this knew nothing about it (inaudible). One of those coincidences. 0:50 See Divine Will is very simple to recognize, you’re at the right place at the right time for the right experience and see Krishna told Arjuna his kinsmen are dead before he even (inaudible) the bow and arrow. See if one can see into the electrical nature of the universe and the ideational part, before the actual physical thing occurs there’s a time lapse that’s why people who are clairvoyant are only seeing ahead of the time lapse between the actual and the suppository. The things are supposed to occur but when they do occur, it’s a time lapse between the two so actually if these kids were going to be sick by natural law they just coincide, if you want to call it coincidence, but it just aligns itself into that particular period in time that it works itself out so each one fits itself. Audience: Can it be changed? Adano: Everything can be changed, that’s why they say “forgiveness of sins” means modification of thought patterns by your own conscious love. We do have the right in God’s permissive will to alter the reactions of our thoughts. Audience: We set them up to begin with. Adano: As Bill Johnson says to you, you made your enemies you might as well love them. Audience: We go from here we leave here Saturday morning, drive to Wilson North Carolina there’s some 40-50 young people there waiting for Adano. There will be an all-night meditation Saturday night and then there be lectures Saturday afternoons, Saturday night all night meditation (inaudible) and Maryvale which is just out of Knoxville tennessee, there will be a meeting there that is being sponsored by Dr. Lupus Morrison of the Maryville College, that will be Wednesday night and Thursday night and then we leave Friday morning to drive to Pascagoula Mississippi. We’re meeting Friday night and then a wedding Saturday afternoon in a meeting Saturday (general conversation). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Tell me about it (laughter). Audience: (general conversation). 1:10 Adano: You see the problem we saw today would happen in years to come, the Cathedral in Washington is so isolated with other buildings all around it owned by various corporations that when that cathedral is finished it’s cut off from everything, this is a problem but just the grounds of the cathedral in which it is confined to that is their own but just across the road the entire area all around is owned by different cooperation so really the cathedral now loses its true importance as a place for what it was intended for so we figured that when we were going to build a retreat, the land around it should be owned by initiates of people who have the spiritual consciousness so that the area develops a spiritual vibratory rate, otherwise it’s just another show place and it doesn’t have the spiritual value. Audience: (Inaudible). Right here is Swan Lake. Adano: See the swan is the spiritual symbol of the Spirit and Paramahansa means the Supreme Swan, Hansa, Swan. Audience: (Inaudible) and this is sunny acres after Adano’s friend and of course here is the retreat. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: (Inaudible) …if you’re building a retreat and all around you is hemmed in with vibrations that are inconducive to the retreat, the retreat has no vibrations no more, very hard. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: See we want to keep this strictly for the spiritual growth of the initiate and those who are preparing to become initiates. See initiation is more of a preparation too see and to spend that time gathering your consciousness to give you at least a week or two preparation for consciousness so they’re going to be people who are not interested in that part of their spiritual life so we rather have them on the other side of the road where they can go to the conservatory of arts and get acquainted with this subject then if they’re ready for initiation then we have the dormitory here where they can live for a little while to get the feel of their vibrations (inaudible). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You see the Mormon Church, here’s an interesting thing about the Mormon Church, you know you can’t even go into certain areas of the tabernacle until until you become an elder and that area is expressly dedicated to the elders and if you could get to the (inaudible) alone, the vibration is so strong that an ordinary person couldn’t stand it and they wouldn’t want the ordinary person to come into that sanctuary of their part of their tabernacle. See they have a very first tabernacle that you go to and sit around and you can attend the service but right in the main portion of the tabernacle itself, these are all the elders, the people who really live the science of the Soul, they really live it so those vibrations are tremendous when you get close to them. Audience: The head of the mormon see they have the apostle, they call it apostles, these men they have visions and revelations and… Adano: They’re very extrasensory people. Oh yes, they are aware of the Casey readings long before Casey came with his readings, they know exactly where the Earth changes are going. Audience: Now the house in Tyler, the chapel (inaudible)… that’s roughly the floor plan of the four unit apartment but this one downstairs over here all the partitions have been taken out. (Inaudible). Adano: Yeah they’re going to surprise us. The last time we left they put down carpeting. Audience: (Inaudible then general conversation). Friends of ours that bought this acreage, we tried to get everybody under the sun to buy it so finally some friends of ours from Houston bought it and… 1:21 Adano: That was the cousin of the fellow, his name is Sonny, he was a very good friend of mine, his cousin bought it. He wanted to give a donation to the fellowship for his cousin, see when his cousin died, and then he said “Well if I give a donation, I don’t really see where it goes so why don’t I buy the land across and then let the initiates who want to live in the area have it at a nominal price so that it can belong to the initiative, it will be developed for initiates use. So he brought that area and we bought this from him to build our home so he’s retaining this to develop as a commercial area for them to… Audience: He and his wife want to build there. Adano: They’re going to build next to it so the front will be used like if you are an artist or you have some type of craft or something, then you have access to the front which will be setup like a shop. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: See I wish to get them to be self-supporting because I know you’re coming to Tyler to live then it takes you a while to get adjusted here. Audience: Everybody has the money to go in and buy a piece of land or put up a building for business. Adano: But this is this belongs to the Fellowship. It couldn’t work out you see, the Fellowship would try but it couldn’t work out that way so we rather that the initiates own it outright and it’s theirs without a little option that they don’t sell it unless we have a right to buy it first from them so it doesn’t go to someone who is not compatible to the ideals of the place. It isn’t that we want to restrain anyone but we rather know that it can be bought back by initiates who are living in the area. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: He realized that once the retreat goes in there, the land around is going to be pretty valuable that’s the reason why he bought it on an investment basis. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: This initiate who owns this front piece here is five acres and the other five fellas, this man and his wife they’re farming theirs organically, just turn the soil and plant. The land was just left there actually, you could go a whole 12 inches down, it has never been used you see. Audience: But there is some more land around if we can just get the owners you know and find out what he’s done. That man back down this way, he has 42 acres he wants to sell but he jumped his price. He had first said five hundred dollars an acre because it has two houses on it (inaudible). It’s sandy loam, this other soil is wonderful for fir trees and pine trees. Adano: I think Alida was there, you saw the place where your piece of land and then Ketford (inaudible). Audience: (Inaudible) there’s several vegetable canneries around there. If somebody can come in and get some of that other property, we would sure be happy to see them do it. We would like to see a community there. (Inaudible). Adano: See the soil conservation agent gave us all the specifications, see that’s why it has to be an acre per person. Audience: Because we wanted to be sure and you cannot subdivide the lots (Inaudible). Adano: It’s a Satsanga, meditation. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well that’s up to your choice among yourself which you prefer, a closed meeting tomorrow or an open meeting. Audience: (Inaudible). 1:30 Adano: Since it’s the last meeting, we might as well give everybody a chance to come and meet, we’ll have meditation that’s for sure. Audience: If people have any special problems they want to talk about with Adano, they could do that after the meeting (inaudible). Audience: There will be a building committee that plans will have to be submitted to. No tin shacks you know and things like that (general conversation). Adano: He’s a man who can build and then again line up the artwork for it so the only thing we’re trying to stay clear of is square building, little boxes. Audience: We want things that blend with the terrain that are beautiful and make this a very beautiful community and with the facilities that will be available this can be done at a less cost than you were getting anywhere else so his fees will not be as expensive to initiates as it would be to other people if you want him to do it and of course you don’t have to I mean you can get somebody else as long as the plan conforms to sort of the general type of architecture. (Inaudible then general conversation). That’s right you are purchasing lots. 1:40 Adano: The land itself has one survey plot and each lot is boundaried off. See this measurement here and this measurement and that measurement is within this survey plot. So if this was having say 25 percent mineral rights from the owner, they are still holding on to 25 percent mineral rights. Audience: (inaudible). Well this is the reason why we got it in such a way that it wouldn’t be destroyed by drilling it up you see we had to go through all that with them first to get it all straightened out. That’s why it’s boundaried off in lots per acre, that has to adjust itself for the reason if a person wants to get a loan it has to be a minimum of an acre. They would not grant a loan even to build on less than an acre within that type of setup see. (Inaudible). You see we have the main road, this is the main road and this main road the water line is already here. All they do is just tap you in and put your meter there and from there you run to your to where you want it. Now it’s the same with electrical light. (Inaudible). But you see we have electricity both sides of the road. (Inaudible). When it’s not humid you don’t have no ocean around to give you humidity. There’s no humidity there, it’s dry land and you see where we are, we are close to 600 feet above sea level, you’re above sea level. Audience: Well I had just started my practice and of course I didn’t have many patients (inaudible). 1:50 Adano: This is what we had. You either got faith or you don’t got faith, that’s all, either believe or don’t believe. Audience: (General conversation). Adano: That’s what you call photo-finish miracles, photo-finish miracles. I’ll tell you we can write stories about this thing, everyday it’s a miracle. Audience: (General conversation). Adano: Well you can all those things fall in place, how it just comes. The day when we got the tiles for the ceiling, you know you left and we didn’t have no more for the back so I didn’t know how we’re going to finish it because we didn’t have anything and we saw we didn’t have any money for the 15th which was the following month for the quarterly payment and (inaudible), “how much tile do you need?” I says “we need at least four boxes to finish this ceiling.” He says, “ok, here is the money to buy four boxes.” Everyday it’s a miracle how it’s coming (inaudible). Audience: (Inaudible then general conversation). Adano: I’ve got a boss. Audience: (Inaudible then general conversation).
1972 January 14 Part 2 Spirit World
Adano72_01_14_2SpiritWorldQ3RR - Are there any problems in in the meditation now? Audience: I don’t know where to begin. Adano: It’s very simple, you do the Holy Breath first then you repeat the Holy Name, you see the light, and hear the Sound Current, don’t you do that? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well I’ve been doing it eight hours a day dear lady for nearly twenty odd years. Audience: I really persevere and I can’t do it the whole half hour. Adano: That’s why we say get something to prop it up. Audience: I get on the edge of the bed, I get on the floor, I lay on my back. Adano: Take something that will prop it up. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: The first sounds you hear are the bodily sounds then there’s a frequency above that sounds like a high-pitched whine, that is the carrier frequency or the extrasensory frequency that you lock your mind into, it’s that frequency the telepathic waves flow, that’s the one you got to link into. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: They come in on that frequency. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No no no, they ain’t no earthly things. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes it is music, it’s actual music. When you hear it inside you’re hearing music. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well if you just hear it you’re fortunate, imagine if you make the effort to hear it all the time. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: My dear lady, it took me ten years to hear the bells, you’re fortunate. I practiced for 10 years that technique to hear the bells and I know a man who was hearing it from the left side for 10 years, it took him a long time to shift it over to the right side. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: As long as you’re hearing it and it’s on the right side, it’s ok, don’t worry in the position where it is. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well the thing is this, when you meditate your spiritual experiences are greater. You do get some in dreams but you want to go past the dreams where you can actually experience it in meditation. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No, see you start off with dreams, you have to have some type of dream to get your mind to start on the path. There comes a time then you go past the dreams, that your consciousness is working from inside so on the inside part where you’re conscious, in order that your mind is not a victim of hallucinations, then you have to keep repeating the Holy Name. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: An initiate is already initiated and if he’s going to hallow the name of God anything that is of any type of entity or any level, after five minutes he repeat the Holy Name if it stays after five minutes rest assured that’s a Master. If He can stay in that perimeter five minutes after you repeat the Holy Name, he’s a Master. If he can’t stay five minutes, he’s not a Master, no matter what you see. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You see the Masters tell us one simple thing, if They come when you are meditating don’t trust them either. Audience: The Masters? Adano: Yeah if you see anyone, even if you see Jesus don’t believe it until you put him to the test. Audience: What test? Adano: Repeat the Holy Name five minutes and see if he stand up there. If he can stand up in the presence of the Holy Name for five minutes and let you see His body from toe to head, both feet, then you’re looking at the real Master, otherwise you’re seeing a hallucination. If he can’t stay there for five minutes in the presence of the Holy Name and let you see the whole body, not one foot in front of the other or one hand in front of the other, if he does this or does like this or has a robe that covers his feet, it’s all hallucination. You want the truth, if you want the truth use the rules. The Holy Name is there to get rid of them once and for all and if He’s got a resurrected body, if He really attained God He’s going to show it to you and you’re going to find out where the wounds really are in that body, He’s not going to pull no tricks. Equally any true Master like Buddha or any one of these Men and if they come to really give you some experience, They are going to show you a hundred percent themselves. They don’t need to be in no medium, that would be a violation in the first place to come down and talk through a medium, it’s in your scriptures. When King Saul went to the psychic of Endor he wore a disguise and in that disguise she call up the prophet Samuel and Samuel exposed them because this is a violation, that is using another person’s ectoplasm, it’s like pirating your mind, it’s hijack. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: And He admonished or disciplined Saul and exposed Saul to the psyche but He never allowed the psychic to use Him or He would never use a psychic’s body, He materialized in the room. See a Master is not going to play around, in fact He’s going to tell them off right there and the worst thing could happen to the psychic, He could turn off the energies for her, she’ll never be able to see no more in those realms. It’s strictly that what it is so when a person say they are seeing Lord Jesus, we want to be certain he’s really seeing Lord Jesus and how does he see it, does he see a half a body or a throat or a head or a full body? So the initiate is not taking any chances, he can’t afford to take chances, he’s been fooled for too long on this path of many books around the subject to find out if it’s a thought form acting as Jesus or if he’s having experiences from a super-sensory state that appears to be giving him the answer. So the Master’s say use the Holy Name of God and if he can stay, even he the Master can stay, any one of them can stand up five minutes in the presence of that Name, then He really is there. My wife will tell you a story of a man who is an initiate who went around playing around, he lives in Houston and this is a very interesting story. 0:10 Audience: Even before that our Master’s Master had an accident, broken his leg, and he had a vision (inaudible) and he saw his Master’s radiant form appeared to him and this form said well these were very unusual circumstances so he would allow him to eat meat. Now he did the Holy Name for five minutes (inaudible then general conversation). 0:20 Adano: That’s what you’re looking for, you’re looking for the blue light inside and the gold rings around it and inside there’s a five-pointed white star like a dove descending. It’s in that five-pointed white star the Masters come through, They have to come through that state but you don’t want to go until you test it. You’ve got to test, you can’t even trust your best friend in there. You know in the army they should say “don’t walk over the ground unless you step on the land mine” so they have to give you a thing to test along to walk. It’s the same thing, you got lots of landmines in there. You see the story of Odysseus and the sailors, you heard that story? The sirens are these forces who try to pull you down into the lower realm and sometimes they want to use the energy of your body so the Masters sometimes they would actually put a blinker that you don’t see nothing inside. You say, “Well Jesus I meditate all these years, I don’t see anything.” You’re fortunate because sometimes your subconscious mind is so weak it will be pulled down so you have to have some way to test it all the way and all the Masters say you must make sure that when you test it right after the last moment when you’re face to face with God, even then repeat His name because you don’t have any guarantee. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes if it explodes, if it stays there and comes out in the form of any teacher they would either have to be genuine. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: It has to be a genuine experience. Yogananda used to say this “If Thomas could see Jesus,” he says, “why can’t we see it” so why are we worrying about trying to kid ourselves, why don’t we make up our mind and accept the truth that this is an actual science and go ahead and use it. You know he wouldn’t tolerate talking with Jesus, he wants to see Jesus. In fact he used to have everyday the Masters materialize and talk to him in a little garden that he had and he used to tell the disciples don’t come near that garden while he’s meditating and one boy used to be there to keep away the people and he was not allowed to see, the Master block him so he couldn’t see but he heard the two-way conversation going on in the garden all the time so he said to the Master he says, “Master you’re very fortunate that all the Masters can materialize and talk to you.” The Master says “Yes,” he says “but I still don’t trust them.” Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You see the negative pull wants to create just like the positive pull and it’s what you call a carbon process. You know you have a carbon copy it’s never like the original so no matter how it tries, it’ll still be a carbon copy, it will never be the original so that particular function in your mechanism tries to trick you. So God Himself would not trick you so God has already built all the safety factors in it with His Holy Name and with His name He has created everything. That’s where you repeat the Holy Name outwardly you’re taking it in vain because there’s nothing here you can create with it that He didn’t already create. You see “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, thou shalt hallow it.” So by repeating it inwardly you are hollowing it because that would free you now from any mental makeup that the mind would try to trick you in believing that it’s that so you have a tremendous safety factor locked up in the Holy Name not to be fooled. That’s why Jesus kept repeating “Hallowed be Thy name,” He knew He had to hallow it. Now He was standing when they brought the man who was obsessed by spirits and even before He did anything the spirit says “we know who you are.” They are automatically recognized “we know who you are, let us go” because He was already cycling the Holy Name and His consciousness, they could not stand the vibration, they’d have to go away. So what did it do, they went out into the animal kingdom and then into the pigs, they have to be shunted out, they have to let go of the man. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: We just keep on repeating the Holy Name. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: But you don’t go away, the thing is let me point out something. Because you’re an initiate and you’re doing the meditation and the Holy Name inside, join in the group that do it, do you own personal inner meditation but let me point out something when that man came that my wife described to the room that day, he came in late and sat down. Whatever he was attempting to do, my meditation is just to repeat the Holy Name that’s all I do inside. If he had any awareness, whatever was working through him it couldn’t stay longer than five minutes because it would automatically rebound in him. That’s why he was knocked out into that state immediately to face his karma because this is what happens, this consciousness sends you back to where the energy comes from so it automatically goes back. Wherever you are if you’re meditating and if the group is experiencing negative experiences with the best of intentions that doesn’t say that they’re deliberately trying to do it but they don’t know it, you’re doing them a wonderful service because that will help to recycle them you see. Equally true when I was meditating the man came in and automatically he saw all the karma start coming forward then he realized that he was in the wrong. Now if you meditate with a group and he has these fears then you are actually helping that man to break through those fears. See that’s why I say… Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well this is the thing, you’re helping the man to break it because it will start crowding in on him now. Alright, there was boy who met a Yogi and the Yogi was fasting for a long time and he handed the Yogi a bucket of quicklime and told him it was clabbered milk. The Yogi didn’t refuse it, he drank it and repeated the Holy Name. Now normally quicklime would kill you instantly so the boy cried out, “Help Yogi, help I’m dying.” He says “Scoffer, did you know your life and mine are one? You heal and go and don’t do it no more.” But the same thing had happened, when the man tried to parrot the consciousness of that initiate in Houston, he was thrown back into his body. 0:30 He did it again, followed the man to his house and he did it and he was thrown back. Now when is he going to learn? He had to learn the hard way so when he came the day, which was a Sunday, and sat down in the room in five minutes he was out. The only way you’re going to teach this man a lesson is let him face his karma once and for all, you pile the whole thing on his head, bust the bottle, and let it run out you know so “here buddy wake up, where are you, what are you doing to yourself?” Because they don’t realize, they have the best of intentions, they don’t realize. Now the man is very serious about initiation because he realized what he had done, that that he needs to clean up too, you couldn’t initiate a person like that immediately because there’s too much things that he had to work out. Equally true if you’re in this place and with this group of people and you’re placed there for a reason, with the best of his intentions that he knows how, you’re not trying to harm him but maybe he has to face certain things about himself and that’s why you are there and that’s why the Holy Name is (inaudible). Now you don’t have to trade anything for anything else because the proof is in the pudding you know. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: The pronunciation would not make any difference as long as you are thinking of it and recycle it in your consciousness. There was a woman who didn’t know a certain Psalm and all that she could remember in that Psalm was feathers, “He would cover you in His feathers,” something like that. Well she was escaping the Gestapo in Germany this last war and she was in the train and they were searching every train for Jewish people and she was Jewish as she could look and all she could remember of that Psalm was “feather, feather, feather, feather, feather, feather, feather.” They walked past her and didn’t even know she was existing there. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Because I repeat the Holy Name inside, lots of them come too, three or four minutes they go away, that’s how you burn the karma out because they’ve got to come to the surface you see and the Holy Name, this science is a two-way thing. It expands your consciousness and brings up the karma and burns them out, it comes up but it can’t stay there longer than five minutes, five minutes is because of the five senses. See you encode it through your five senses, that’s why it can’t stay longer than five minutes, if it stays longer than five minutes rest assured he’s gone in the other room already. So you have to repeat it for five minutes to be certain that it’s not a hallucination of the senses or what you call some feedback or playback from your five senses so you have to keep at it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Keep going like the woman “feathers, feathers, feathers, feathers, feathers.” The important thing is to be certain that you can Master it because you’re meditating on… let’s say an experience comes up, I’ve seen this one time, a very beautiful form came into my consciousness one time meditating, beautiful music and beautiful odor, I’m not fooled so easy, maybe just keep repeating the Holy Name. Five minutes is gone, another one took its place, five minutes more that went too, another one took its place. After an hour each one taking its place you know (inaudible) burning up, there comes a time they don’t come no more because there’s nothing there to come, it’s exhausted. I had a wonderful meditation after a long while. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Inside, they’re coming inside, and sometimes they come outside too. Yogananda said this, I have a tape on that called, “How to see the Christ without fear.” See the Christ with your naked eyes, see Him inside of you first, you keep repeating the Name then till He comes out and stand in the room and then to the point where He talks to you and then to the point where He lets you touch Him but He has to stand the test of five minutes all the way through because if it goes away after five minutes then it’s not the real Christ and Masters will all tell you the same thing, even Yogananda says “If I come and you see me, test me because I’m not real till you put it to the test.” Now Yogananda didn’t want to be deceived by Yukteswar, you read the Autobiography of Yogi. Yukteswar, before he died do you remember when he was a young boy before he died he came in the room and he thought that was an apparition and he says “Wait a minute, I only kidding myself, you’re an apparition.” He says, “No I’m flesh and blood.” All right how does he know he’s flesh and blood? He gave him the experience then he told him what will happen he says, “I’ll meet you at the train and I’ll be walking behind a boy and you’ll recognize me,” then he headed to the railway station immediately after the experience and there he was, the train had just arrived and he was coming out of the train and little boy was walking in front of him. Now later on when he resurrected to Yogananda he still have to test him but this time Yogananda didn’t run and (inaudible), put his arms around him and really give him one of his bear hugs and he said “Please let go man, you’re squeezing too hard.” So we know that they’re talking of tangible things because all of us would be fooled if that was what it was. Audience: (Inaudible). 0:40 Adano: If you accept the fact that this form, ones that touch the solar plexus are allowed in to touch the solar plexus, that means giving in. Audience: What will it do to you? Adano: It will draw the ectoplasm out and use it, that’s how people become mediums. All mediums have what is called a psychic leak, their ectoplasm is drained off and therefore the entities use that as food that’s why they’re tired after they come out of a trance. Why is this medium or person who goes into that state so tired or depleted, because the ectoplasm has been drained off as food you see. The entity does not want to reincarnate to face the obligation of going through the physical birth of the womb therefore they stow away as pirates or hijack the ectoplasm with all types of alluring… Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: They offer you all types of wonderful powers in place of it, that is to avoid their facing reincarnation. Now they have tremendous wonderful philosophy, they can talk about a good God, it’s very hard to show you a good God. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: All right that’s very good for them though, I got to give them credit they really can do it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well you’re never going to realize it… Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yeah they’re paying for that but they see they don’t know that because you see there’s something which they don’t know about, being freed from the invocationary rights of the disembodied spirits. They’ll never learn that in books because that does not exist in books unless a person is initiate, only an initiate knows that. See a Master can free you from invocationary rights that entities cannot use your body even after you die or even when you’re alive, there is no way for a disembodied spirit to use you that’s one of the rights or laws. That’s why a Master could not come into a human body and talk to any medium, you see that particular principle exists. Now for instance let’s say someone is a medium and has entities using the body, a Master now can come along out of compassion or grace and cutoff that situation and weld it back and there’s no way that an entity can enter that person no more. You see that’s what they call freedom from the invocationary rights. See a medium has to invoke by certain principles the disembodied spirit to come in and that’s to invite them in to use the body. Now once they get entrance then they use the ectoplasm because they have to use ectoplasm to survive, it’s food for them. See what food is for the human body, the ectoplasm is food for the disembodied spirit because the disembodied spirit does not surrender its identity to take on a human form. Now every Master takes a human form whenever He comes into this world regardless of how much pain he has to go through to live it out in terms of being a Master, He does come into the world, He meets you the human level and talk to you at a human level and gives you the simple techniques. The techniques are what we call the Holy Breath, the Name, and seeing the light and that’s it but He comes and does it and live it to show you that this is what it is. Now He would never use you in any way from your ectoplasm to give you a message. So when somebody says you’re getting a message from this person, you got to wonder first if that person is really getting a true message or getting some feedback from some level but your own Soul seems to guard you or protect you in a strange way when you hear these things because it’s telling you inside if it’s true or not, you have your own built-in protective measure. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: See that’s what we have is called a Dybbuk, a Dybbuk is that type of entity that feeds on another body and uses his body and you see the highest form of Dybbuk has been written about, Lapsong Rampa’s books (sp?) have all the works of the Dybbuk. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes, he has taken the life of the other person and that person forfeit his life with that body and he’s using that body now to (inaudible) Dybbuk in it. Audience: (Inaudible). Well it’s like a zombie. Audience: …taking the body and not going through the birth process but does he have the karma involved? Adano: Well he’s got all the karma. Audience: What is he avoiding in the birth process? Adano: He’s avoiding the face that his karma may provide for him a body that is actually impractical for him to live in. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: See the Dybbuk system is one of the oldest (inaudible) and actually if you go into some of the Hebrew writings you hear a great deal about the Dybbuk, the Egyptians did it too. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: These are what you call stowaways of the spiritual body, they don’t want to face the karmic debt because they don’t want to lose the power that they have. Now you have another problem, when you come into this particular study. When an entity gives you his wisdom from the other realm and he’s not realized, he’s giving you wisdom so that you may earn fame and recognition in a physical body, you realize that. Here you are one day, an ordinary person, you don’t have no realization. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well a person doesn’t have anything in this realm, she doesn’t have no recognition in this realm and all of a sudden she gets these experiences being given by these entities from the other realm who doesn’t want to come back in the body. She’s already lost two things: one she’s lost her own willpower to theirs because they are using her now to come through, that’s number one. The second thing is that she’s going to gain the physical prestige and recognition which she craves to be somebody of importance. 0:50 Now she has to pay that price, when she die she becomes the slaves of those entities that she used and there is no way to break the invocatory rights of that unless you’re a Master. In another realm she is their slave, she has to be their slave. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes. In this realm they are her slaves while she’s in the physical body, they have to give her what she wants, they are serving her to keep her status quo as she is because she did not have a status quo. Now when she passes on it’s just the law of karma, she has to reverse her position now so she has to serve them. Now only a Master can break that, there’s just no way that she could break that and God is not going to interfere, God has set his laws up already, this is what it is, ouch. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No you’re not going to hear of it and you’re not going to read about it because it’s not going to be in books. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You see anytime you run across a poltergeist you always gonna run across a child. Audience: (Inaudible). So what have we got in a child? We got a tremendous distorted feedback so all his psychic forces are working in a distorted way. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Fear. You will always find those children are afraid and whenever they come in the room things happen because their fear has built to the point they’ve been hurt and they don’t want to be left alone. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No it’s kinetic energy they’re using, they don’t invite anything. The poltergeist, there’s not another entity working on them. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No it’s their own kinetic energy. Now telekinesis is objects moving across the room by the power of the mind, in the child he doesn’t have a control, it’s a feedback in which his mechanism, his chakras, are scattering all the telekinetic energy so everything starts flying around the room. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well that’s what the para-psychologist has got to work out. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes, an initiate can do something too but you’ve got to be asked. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: The kid has to be processed. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: It takes time to do it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Oh yes as a ground but the thing is this to correct the particular chakra that is triggering off the telekinetic energy and you have the process the child then you have to pinpoint which child you see. Now there has to be some shock in that child’s life that would trigger that situation and it’s a matter of asking the child before the thing began to happen in his life what was his frame of mind at the time, what great disappointment did he have at the time before it began to happen. You have to establish that degree of shock and the color of the shock is very simple to establish, after you know that then you can recycle it. The child can tell you where the father or the mother disappointed or promised him something or did something and caused it to go into that state of shock or disappointment and then this begins to fire off itself. Now it will extend itself, it has a certain period where it will run itself out so the psychiatrist or the para-psychologist can experiment around for a long time in the meantime not getting anywhere then it will run out its course. That means it will peter out like a fire cracker, everything will splatter out and it will stop after he goes past a certain stage. It’s only happening within a certain time then it will shift. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No you have to see the person, you can’t do it by absentee. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well there must be something that you neighbor must have done to him. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well at what age were the parents divorced and what age was the boy… Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Then these are the things we have to establish, what shock that register is so traumatic on the ganglia and how old was the boy, then we have what is called a feedback, a magnetic feedback, because telekinesis is distorted magnetism. The objects are flying around the room in the boy’s presence, two things attract each other or two opposite things attract each other and similar things reject each other, how does magnetism work? Opposites attract and likes repel so what does the poltergeist do when he comes in the room? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well people call people poltergeists so fast they don’t even know what happens in the presence of a poltergeist so (inaudible). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Wait a minute, let’s find out one thing. If the boy is in the room, what happens in the room when the boy is there? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: A thing can’t move unless it’s a magnetic field and if it is a distorted magnetic field it either can attract or repel, it’s just that simple about it. This will either go that way or it will come flying into the boy. If it comes flying into the boy from the wall, flying towards him, then the action of the magnetic field is pulling it, if it’s flying away from him then he’s repelling it so the the degree of shock the boy is triggering off that particular telekinetic action. The doctor can play around as long as he wants till that thing peters out then there’s nothing for him to measure. Now once we establish what degree of shock the boy is in, automatically we know it had to be some parent involved with the shock to cause his ganglia to off to either to repel or attract. The boy can’t be in that state because it’s not an entity. Poltergeist means a distortion in polarity. There’s no little imp coming along and playing games that’s why I said lots of things that the initiate will learn is not going to learn in books because they’re not supposed to know in the public. Audience: (Inaudible).. who would be triggering them off? 1:00 Adano: A structure built can by its own magnetic positions become a firing agent that it doesn’t need a human being in there, the moment a human being comes in his body magnetism helps to speed it up but you can take a structure and create it and have what is called poltergeistic action or the poltergeist syndrome, that is objects will fly around but take away a human being from that room nothing will fly around. As soon as the human being comes into the orbit of that room it fires, it starts firing because his magnetic field is starting to trigger it otherwise if you leave the building, it’s not going to do anything. Yet the very structure can be so inadvertently put together, not that they consciously were aware when they put it together but it so lined up itself in a strange way. I can take a piece of rod and hold it and hit it with a hammer in a certain angle and it becomes a magnet and I don’t have to magnetize it, we’re dealing with magnetism. It’s the angle in which I put that rod in relation to the pole and hit it with a hammer that rod will magnetize, it will pick up objects drawing it or kicking it away. Now this is a natural magnetic principle let alone if you (inaudible) certain objects. Now why is the pyramid at one third degree up will the preserve objects? Because that particular angle is where it will do it, it’s all magnetism but these are very subtle laws of magnetism at work. So the building itself when it was constructed could inadvertently line up itself in such a way that it have this particular action and when a human being comes within it, it starts to magnify it but I don’t know of any poltergeist being a entity running around playing games, I know it’s a distorted magnetism. That’s why it will peter out and if you take that building and burrow a hole in the center of the roof, just one hole, that breaks the magnetism. Now if this house is haunted, you can change the magnetic field by breaking out a wall in it then the individual who’s supposed to haunt it don’t come back because you’re altering the magnetic field that pulls him so it’s by understanding the magnetic principle you can alter it. Audience: Are you’re familiar with the fact that some people (inaudible). Adano: Ok everybody is initiates now, how many you can wear your watches? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Because your body is altering its magnetic field, till it gets back to normal then you can wear it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Because the magnetic field is altering itself to bring it to another frequency and until your body is set in the proper frequency everything that is related in a magnetic way is gonna shut off gradually. It’ll come back as soon as the body lines itself up, there’s a distortion in the magnetic field in the body. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well same thing because it lines itself back up, it’s magnetism. Now you take for instance now all right here’s where the astrological bracelet comes in or the biomagnetic wave trap comes in. A person’s body is not working properly magnetically and the moment they put that on, this starts lining up the magnetic field in their body then objects that would not work properly in them like a watch will start lining up itself for the first time. If they were working very good before and the moment they put on one and they get initiated, it starts shutting off and it stops till that body lines itself up magnetically then it’ll come back because there is an overload in some way in that field force and it has to be corrected. So when we’re coming down to the poltergeist, I don’t know of any poltergeist being a spirit, I know of a distorted magnetic field that can be corrected because we’re dealing with a very subtle magnetic principle. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes the frequency is the gold of the vibration is exactly the frequency of the skin so you have to have the gold there because you have to have the same frequency as the skin. The silver is the frequency of the blood and the copper is the frequency of the magnetic transmission. So once they’re locked in together as a unit then you have a magnetic field build up because they’re relating to your body so you have these same vibrations in your body that set up the magnetic field. Now coral is a stone or a substance that goes in the ocean and is affected by the movement of tides so naturally you have the same identical thing occurring in the tidal movement of the bloodstream and at the same time the moon is responsible for tidal movement so you find a coral resonates in the frequency of the moon and since it’s in a liquid solution already growing in a liquid solution, when it’s contact with the human body it has exactly the same magnetic relationship like if it was in the ocean affected by the tides. Now your own birth stone has a specific frequency based upon the time cycle when you took the first breath because that is based on the breath so when that is set up, you have a particular frequency now that is relating to every breath you take so it has to resonate in relation to the breath. Now the three major metals that are used are gold, silver, and copper but there are two other metals that go along, it’s tin and lead, these are two other metals that are used and they are alloys in making anything that fuses anything, the lead and the tin so you have that as a composite. You can make a bracelet out of lead and silver all by itself and that’s for a specific purpose but when you’re using it for the general control of the mechanism then you have to have one that is lined up with the body as it sets from the gold, the silver, and the copper. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Silver is like your blood. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well that’s a specific disease. For instance you had a disease of the kidney coming up in say 28 days from now, before it starts to come up you strap-on on a bracelet made of silver and lead to offset the action of the kidneys to start the recycling of the kidneys. In the case of Yogananda, his kidneys were going to go bad on him and his teacher told him to get himself one out of lead and silver and when you make a bracelet out of lead and silver and each one has got to be over an ounce, it’s a pretty heavy thing to wear let alone the lead. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well when I get back to Tyler I’ll be making it in the next full moon in February. See it has to be made in the moon and it’s not so easy, people think it’s just a twist some wires together, everybody’s name has a musical note and it’s got to be set to the musical note and tone in consciousness and the metal has got to be able to feel that metal so if you can’t use too much mechanical (inaudible), you got to use your hand a lot and you have got to know the birthday. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No I don’t need the hour, I need your birthdate and I need your name, I don’t need the time. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: See each name has certain musical notes. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: That’s providing the person has that specific problem. You see in a case of paralysis of the leg, there’s another type of material you use, certain diseases have certain metals they relate to. Doctors are soon going to find out how to create tinctures of the material to make a medicine. Audience: (Inaudible). 1:10 Adano: The homeopaths were using it for centuries and you see now we know that if let’s say you take a piece of material that has no therapeutic value, absolutely no therapeutic value, you can’t use it there’s no way to take it and then if you triturate it, that’s if you grind it and grind it and grind it so many thousands and thousands of revolutions until it reaches what is called a different frequency in the atomic scale, one tincture of that has tremendous therapeutic action now, they cannot understand this phenomenon. What was once not therapeutic suddenly becomes therapeutic, it’s grounded now, atomic ash which A.R.E. makes from carbon ash is a triturated process, it’s only made triturated by a mechanical process instead of hand doing it in a pestle with a mortar, this is done in a mechanical machine grinding, grinding the arc, the carbon ash and it’s coming out to produce this thing and it’ll work with the same thing to affect certain therapeutic action. Well it works similar like a ferret, never heard of a ferret, do you know what a ferret is? How do you think he kills his enemy? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well a ferret don’t bit his enemy. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: A ferret will hiss and the ultrasonic frequency of his hiss will kill his opponent because the frequency he sets up would kill him that’s what is called “ferreting.” So it’ll hiss and wherever the creature is that he’s going to kill, a frequency will go and knock him out, it’s what you call ultrasonic detection and it will knock it out. Now homeopathy is something similar like that, it will take a substance that has no therapeutic value right now, work through a triturated process and produce a therapeutic action. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: It’s the same principle. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Not necessarily, not necessarily, knowledge can come to you from your higher self and not have to come from some other entity. When an entity comes to you and talks to you or try to use your body put you in a mediumistic trance that’s what we’re talking about. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: The thing is though, once you have the Holy Name as an initiate, anytime you’re in doubt of what you’re doing you apply that holy name, that is your key. All right you know how to drive a car right? Now let me take away your key, how are you going to go home? The key is the thing, you know how to drive there’s no doubt that you know how to drive but you still need that key to put it in the ignition to turn it over. So you’re given the key to go in there, you’re given the instructions of what to look for so it’s not necessarily my body, the thing is that you have the key to work with. Now I can give you the instructions but if you don’t use the key what good is it? So you have the keys and you go inside there, you meditate and if you’re in doubt you test it so don’t take no chances. It’s one thing, my wife will tell you, as you’re studying to be a chiropractor a doctor give a demonstration of a urine analysis test? Audience: We have to study urine analysis and blood analysis and so on. So starting out you learn the objects you’re going to work with and the exact procedure, you watch him you do the same thing. So here we all turn up with a urine specimen that we’re finally going to get checked. Well that you know there’s a visual test, you examine for any precipitation of color and there’s a certain odor and so then he reaches in, he puts the finger in and then he does like this and you also supposed to that too. Adano: That’s what you call the oral test. Audience: So I stuck my finger in and did like that (screams) “you mean you do that?!” Did you all see what I did? Adano: But this is what the professor did you see and everybody well in the mind they can build up a whole big thing but this observation to the end don’t even trust the last action, put it in your mouth, but this is what we’re trying to point out if in the meditative life you can’t afford to drift around, you can’t wander otherwise you become mediumistic. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You are protected as an initiate and you have the Holy Name, that’s why Jesus says, “hallowed be Thy name” if you use it. Now you’re hungry eat, if you’re not hungry don’t eat, equally true in this science if you on the path going inwards and you have the key, check everything because these are some things you have to do for yourself and anything that comes there you check to be certain it’s not a manufacturing of your own mind and a genuine experience will always be a genuine experience. How would how would you know the difference if you took everything for granted inside there? You wouldn’t know if you arrive at God realization if you just wish for it. The scriptures don’t say “As a Man think he knows God, be thou silent and think that I am God.” He says, “Be thou silent and KNOW that I am God.” Thinking is computing, knowing is feeling and testing, you have to feel this thing and test it, that’s a big difference than thinking, thinking you’ll still be computing in your mind and God is not something that you can think of because that’s the first thing the Chinese get rid of, stop thinking and then Zen begins. That’s why they use the word Zen or Zenith, when you reach the zenith of thinking then the experience of satori will occur so when you stop to think about God then this inner forcefield comes to the surface, you begin to know. Audience: (Inaudible) … but sometimes five minutes can seem like an hour or an hour can be like five minutes. Adano: Then be patient, you got all eternity to find out. I’d rather be sure than step in quicksand because once you step in quicksand, you can’t come out, ain’t nobody gonna pull you out.
1972 January 15 Part 3/1 Satsanga
Adano72_01_15_3_1SatsangaQ2RR - … we’d like to thank the group here for bringing us, inviting us here during the holidays and on our way back. I know we sure enjoyed meeting all the new people so many of those who are gathering together in meditation and all the other people that you’ve told us about but we all owe it to the Masters, we don’t take no credit. The work we do is strictly to serve God and the Masters. I know there are many questions you want to ask but as I said before there is no new religion, we don’t have a new religion for anyone we only tell you what you are, why you’re involved in your life around you, and how to free yourself and go home to the Creator, it is that simple. The journey back to God is based on love, devotion, and by inner contact. The inner contact is strictly initiation, how you walk the journey inward after initiation is between you, God, and the Masters. The Masters are the teachers, They take you through the levels of consciousness. Man’s origin, he is Soul, he doesn’t have a Soul, it’s up to him to find that out for himself and prove it, don’t take my word for it, prove it to yourself. You’re given the keys of walking inward all the time, they won’t be changed because the same key the Masters themselves have to use. (Inaudible) tell you something that is not there, I wouldn’t be here in the first place. It’s very simple, when you go inside don’t even trust anything you see inside not even me if see inside, that is very important because you can’t trust the mind. Any experience you see inside you have to test it, you have to make sure it’s a genuine spiritual encounter with the Lord. You can go around in circles, you can kid yourself that you’re making headway inside but until you have genuine experiences inside that’s a different thing altogether. Any genuine experience that comes from inside carries a transformation, it carries such a transformation that it is right down into your atomic structure. Your daily meditations you have to do it, no one can do that for you. The (inaudible) meditations is simply to fulfill the law of amplification “when two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst.” This helps those who are more advanced and who are not so advanced to raise their level of consciousness up and when you get together to meditate in reality you are sitting in Satsanga. Satsanga means fellowship with the truth with the Lord. Three things happen all the time: conscious contact, mental contact, an extrasensory contact. In your meditations do not wander in the mind, it will put you in a state of (inaudible) experiences, you will drift off from the course. You sometimes are fortunate if you never see anything inside or hear anything inside in your meditation, if the little lights and little sounds you hear that comes in that can even steer you off the course of where you’re going. The journey is back to the Creator, it’s not such an easy journey but you have friends. That’s why in the ancient days they said “communion with the Saints,” this is a different type of communication between Man and God via the Saints. They are the ones who tread the path, they are the ones who come down and go up all the time, each level of consciousness from the very first level to the highest level they have true access to God. They’ll walk with you inside, they don’t fool you because you can see them, touch them, talk to them, They’re there inside. Modification of karmic debt, this you can do, that’s why it’s called forgiveness of sins, everyone can modify his karmic debt. The easiest way to modify the karmic debt is to face it, that’s the easiest way to modify the karmic debt, just simply face it. If you are in doubt as to your ability to face it, rest assured all these things only come to pass they don’t come to stay. With that in mind you can face any karma and all karma is not bad, there are good ones too. Divine Will works in you all the time and to recognize it and apply it in your everyday life is very simple, wherever you are you are at the right place, at the right time, it’s just that so simple and the experience you encounter is an experience in behavior, how you act in relation to the next person. God is only going to ask you one question when you kick the bucket, what did you do in the last few seconds before you left the body, it’s just that so simple. (Inaudible) how you’re using this breath. We can’t live without it, it’s coming in and going out and that’s the whole important thing about this mechanism, the very next breath and every time you get an extension on your life to take a next breath, you have the opportunity to face yourself and correct your karma. When He takes that breath from you, you may have to wait many lifetimes to correct it. Once you have the opportunity to take the next breath, you can correct it. The thief on the cross realized this and he simply said “Master remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.” He took full advantage of the next breath afforded him and the Master took full advantage of the next breath by saying “Verily I say unto you on this day you and I shall be in paradise.” 0:10 Now two men took full advantage of the next breath and reconciled their consciousness in God’s. Now equally true we have the same opportunity, we are no less than a thief or no more than the Master, we are in the same position in terms of the next breath. What you do with it determines what you get out of it and if you can’t face yourself then, the lesson you’ll learn is that you’ll have to eat your words back some other place and those words and adjectives are pretty hard to swallow at times. So to modify your karmic debt you have it within your power to do it, face yourself. Life eternal, world without end, the atomic physicists have already satisfied your mind, energy is not created and it’s not destroyed, you are forever but then within this foreverness lies emergence, that is do you want to reincarnate or do you want to resurrect? That is within the permissive will of God and the cosmic will of God, in His permissive will you can reincarnate all the time you want, in His cosmic will you resurrect. Now Jesus had this choice when He was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He used His permissive will or cosmic will when He said “Father remove this cup.” Now in His permissive will He could apply His ability to disappear from that garden, He didn’t have to face crucifixion yet He said “Not My will but Thy will be done.” He accepted the cosmic will in His life to face the condition and liberate Himself. The final count in this whole process is what we do in that cosmic state, going back to the Creator either by creative action or by failing in the creative action. If we want to repeat the process over and over and over, we have that choice, God will not force it, if we want to liberate ourselves, it’s up to us. So there are no new religions, we can’t come and tell you something new that will make you more involved, they have to come and prove to you that this is where we are and that’s what we have to live. So Jesus would say in His words, “I don’t come to condemn, I come to fulfill.” When we realize what we are doing here in this commitment, this involvement, this environment then we can liberate ourselves but we must have a knowledge to some extent of where we’re going and where we came from. We all came out of the pure Beingness which is God and we are all returning back into that state, that’s why Jesus said to Mary, “Touch Me not, I’ve not yet ascended unto the Father,” that’s where the Beingness is acting on the Consciousness, in that state He’s ascended. When you are returning back into yourself, you’re starting off at the lowest level of your growth where Matter is acting on Matter and as you make some attempt to modify Matter you discover the subtle functions of Matter which is called Energy and as you become more aware, as your consciousness becomes alert then Consciousness begins to act on Matter, you begin to have certain qualities that come out to give you the ability to control Matter with your consciousness and as you advance up the ladder you discover Energy acting upon Energy. Now that’s what we call the halfway mark in the prodigal son, the Father met him halfway and lifted him up. In the halfway mark of going back home in the recycling of energy, there Cosmic Consciousness meets you and starts to pull you up. God does not come below the halfway mark, you have to come up to the halfway mark, you have to come up to where energy recycles itself inside of yourself, you have to meditate and go inside and get that particular experience where these two forces meet and work upon themselves and then you are beyond the time cycle. In that space you go back home to the Creator, you enter what is called the Master Consciousness or the Christ-head and from then on you go through the last two states of Beingness acting on Consciousness. The Christ state is Consciousness acting Consciousness, in that state there are no miracles, there are no phenomena, strictly the Divine Will at work in the ability to crystallize thought. A Master does not have no power, He lives in the world strictly by Divine Will and through your desires they become crystallized in His consciousness to you to free you of your karmic debts. If you have a malfunction in your body and you turn to Him for help, He’s not gonna perform miracles, He brings the consciousness into manifestation for you, the malfunction is removed, it’s your desire not His. So He frees you from it then the lesson you’ll learn is not to repeat it, not to make the same mistake again. He may give you certain disciplines, what to do, but if you don’t do them then He’s not going to be liable like the man who was told “go show and tell no man that he was being healed” and he was healed and what did he do? He blabbed all right (laughter). So we see the relationship is different than what we think it is, it’s a relationship of a very subtle nature, a very privileged nature between one and the Master consciousness and Spirit. One is blessed to have that relationship and to cherish it and nourish it like a light inside so that they can go back home. As we go inside, more and more we’re going to be confronted with different levels of awareness and different experiences. There comes a time there are no experiences inside and then you may say “well have I fallen away from God’s grace? I don’t see anything, what happened, where am I?” You have not fallen away, I’ll tell you a little story. The Swami that initiated my wife and myself into swamihood was initiated a boy at 14 years of age and from 14 until he was 60 some odd years of age he worked and fought alongside Gandhi, even built himself a newspaper empire. His son was about to be hanged for treason, he and Gandhi and all of them battled in courts and got the son out and when he was already in his late sixties and he ready to give up the world and renounce it, he decided to visit his teacher and out of respect for his teacher he said to him, “You know Sir, I’ve been meditating all these years and I’ll honestly tell you the truth, only because I respect you, I haven’t seen a single thing in here let alone heard anything. There’s no lights, no sound, nothing what people say they’re supposed to have seen in meditation, I haven’t seen it.” Well imagine from 14 to 60 odd years that’s lots of love, you got to have love in some little idea but the Teacher said to him, “How long can you meditate without fidgeting?” So he figured to play it safe, at the time when I met him he was in his 80s, he was gonna play it safe he says “two hours” meditate without fidgeting. So He says “show me,” Indian people are very practical you know, “if you can do it, show me.” All right so he sat down and he started meditating, after one hour the teacher took an old rusty nail and a hammer and nailed his calf into the floor and waited. 0:20 After the two hours he opened his eyes he says, “You see teacher, I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything, I don’t feel anything.” (Laughter). The Teacher says, “Well look at your foot” so he looks at his foot and there’s the nail gone through. He says, “Do you see how far in God you are? Do you see how far in God you are?” He says “Now I’m going to heal it but I’m going to leave the scar so it will always remind you how far you are in God.” He pulled the nail out and he said that night when he went home his head was bursting like billions of suns, the whole creation was going on, he couldn’t sleep no more but the thing is this there is grace versus compassion. He was given the inner experience by grace not by compassion, there’s a big difference when you receive these spiritual experience from inside by grace and by compassion because by grace everything is showered upon you, by compassion there is a little price to pay. I’ll explain that so the thing when you meditate do not be alarmed if you don’t see anything because the grace of God will give it to you and if you’re rail at the gates of heaven, He may give it to you by compassion but then you’ll have to earn it in another way, you’ll have to work it out. Jesus said to His disciples when He returned from the grave, “Blessed are they who have not seen and believe than those who have seen and believe.” Now a Master does not say these words unless He has made a mistake in a previous life. “Blessed are they who have not seen and believe” is grace and “blessed are they that have seen and believe” that’s compassion. A Master will grant you the experience that you’re looking for inside out of compassion if you constantly prevail upon Him because He cannot help but give it to you, that’s His very nature it’s love but He knows exactly when to give it to you too before you ask and when He does it to you that way, you don’t have a karmic debt. Now in the case of Elijah and Elisha, Elisha was the student and his particular exuberance of meditation was so great he went to his own teacher and says “Why don’t you give me a double portion of your spirit?” Now this teacher realize the student is exceeding his boundary lines and He admonishes the students by saying, “You ask a hard thing” that is to say you don’t want to earn spiritual unfoldment by natural effort “but nevertheless if you see Me before I go,” this is compassion now, “it’s yours,” the mantle is yours. So He gave him the experience in Cosmic Consciousness in total waking state out of compassion and when his Master went on then the student carried on in that state but that student would have to pay a price by being born again as a realized man to live it out to serve others, this is where we get the word now Avatara or Emmanuel, God in Man. The God in Man must come down, he must take on the role of human form and he must go through the particular tribulations brought on by the karmic debt of the disciple so the karma of the disciple determines the birth and the death of the Master, all the time because He has that commitment. He was a Master in a previous life yes but He also drew unto Him people, if He had incurred some debt between grace and compassion because he asked his teacher for the experience without working for it by natural effort, then those disciples who he raised up, their karmic debt will also be responsible for him when he returns. Now a manifested Master’s life is predicted before He’s born that’s why we call it Avatara or Emmanuel, it just doesn’t come in the world by His own momentum, it’s always predicted before, it’s known before, and you can go find Him any time because the initiate can find Him. The initiate is given a way to go find the Master all the time, the three wise men that left their country were initiates of the highest order and they knew exactly where that path would be and they went and found Him. The truth is not lost, it’s not hidden, it’s very simple as long as you adhere to it, you can go find the truth yourself. When he came back he had to make sure that he did not instill the same mistakes in the minds of his own students, he had to warn them of the difference between compassion and grace in very subtle ways so that they would understand the truth about God realization. Here’s another statement between grace and compassion, “You have not chosen Me, I have chosen you.” How would you know a Master and go ask Him for help if you met one, would you know it? Are we so brazen to walk up to Him and says, “Okay you you got cosmic consciousness, why don’t you help me?” When we have some inkling of cosmic consciousness or some degree of awareness we may be presumptuous in asking, they cannot refuse to grant it to you or some experience in it as in the case of Yogananda. Yogananda was a boy who stayed with his teacher and while staying in the ashram the teacher would not give him the experience so he decided to leave the ashram and go away on his own and he walked all practically for miles through India until he came to a little paddy field and he heard of a man who’s supposed to be enlightened so he went there and in the encounter with the man while staying at the man’s house he could not sleep that night. So the man says “Why don’t you go to sleep?” He says “Who can sleep when lightening is flashing all around the room?” He says, “Well you’re fortunate to see the spiritual light but go to sleep.” He says, “Sir why don’t you grant me an experience in cosmic consciousness?” Now this is what we’re trying to point out between the consciousness of one trying to get it from a Master and the Master replied to him, “If I would only touch you, your whole body will go on fire you’ll burn up but when the time comes your teacher will give it to you. In the meantime I’ll bless you and relieve you of a particular karmic condition in your body.” He stretched His hands out and healed him of a disease then he sent him away from that place. Now in that case we see compassion was at work, he went back to his teacher kind of broken-hearted because the man would not give him the full experience in Cosmic Consciousness and he’s meditating in the teacher’s house then all of a sudden he hears the teacher calling him to come and he says “Master I am meditating in your room.” He says “Yes I know how you’re meditating with your mind wandering all over the place, come here, I’m going to give you your heart’s desire now.” So when he went there he was exposed because his mind was open to the Master, the Master by grace gave him the experience then after the experience was over he says “Now sweep the floor and (inaudible)” because he had to practice now after to really go into that state of awareness. We see that the same thing happens for everyone, consciousness will grant you, there are times when you’re meditating the consciousness will ask you a question “What do you want?” Many people have been asked this “what do you want” and we all fluff it because if you know what to ask for you never ask the right thing anyhow. If ever the consciousness should ask you such a question ask for wisdom and understanding. This was true of Solomon and he was asked what he wanted after spending days and days of meditation and he was told because he did not ask for anything else, he would get the understanding heart and more so he became a very wealthy man. It is only obvious that the Lord will open the doors to satisfy the material part of your life if you have that love by grace, the material side starts to flow. So anytime you’re meditating inwardly and if you don’t see no lights, you don’t hear no sounds, you don’t see no Master don’t stop, just keep on going because in a moment come that you may get it by grace, get the whole ball of wax. 0:30 See we have become so prone in this environment if you do two months meditation or six months meditation we’re supposed to be all God-realized. You know I was meditating 10 years before I ever heard a bell in my ears and then I heard the bell at one time, I didn’t even believe I was hearing the bells “I don’t even want to hear them, go away” but I couldn’t drive it away, it had to stay there. There are inner musics yes but as long as you don’t ask for them, they will come and you will be in that state but when you start asking or begging for these experiences, they will come yes, I can’t say they would not come but they are coming with a particular condition involved, out of compassion but then you have to work it out (inaudible). In the case of the prodigal son, if he had sent a letter back to his father and tell him he’s coming home, it is not that the Father would not have come down to meet him or send him some money to come out from where he was, this would be compassion from the father but the boy decided to turn around, that is the Soul decided to reevaluate its position and move back upwards and in so doing the grace, the love was there in the normal higher consciousness to move down and meet the Soul at the halfway mark. At the halfway mark they met, they embraced and then he gave him all there was to give him back again. We’re learning a tremendous lesson in Soul returning to God, if you’re going back don’t make the mistake of trying to go back to God by the path of compassion, go back by the path of grace. All the scriptures of the world says “it is not by good works we are lifted up, save by the grace of God” and this is literally putting it on the line. It literally means that by the grace of God we go back, it’s a very hard lesson to learn in the spiritual life but once you learn it you are free of forever. So don’t give up, if you find in your meditation as you’ve been studying all types of meditation and then all of a sudden nothing seems to be working now since you met Adano Ley, rest assured you’re in very good hands with the Lord. (Short meditation). When you meditate you will ask yourself all the time “how do I know I’m making progress, is my aura shining bright tonight or am I really perking up or something?” All the Masters say evidence of your spiritual progress is based on how long you can remain in the state of peace when you come out of the meditation. How long can you really stay in that state of peace, that will determine how much evolved you are in that state of God. That is why they say “if you cut out the tongues of men of peace, the very stones will shout peace.” Real inner peace is in the waking state, that’s the real advancement of the Soul, when this occurs everything is at peace (inaudible). The animals will love you, the plants will love you, the rocks will love you, the weather will love you, and everything will love you because you’re a man of peace and if you walk in that state of peace, you’re walking in grace. It’s to recognize it and now we come to Master Jesus, what does He come to give us? In His own word He says “I’ve come to give you peace, the peace I give, the world don’t give.” The realization or the recognition of making you aware of what development is in yourself is based on peace, how to know you are advancing spiritually. Spiritual advancement is this profound peace occurring in the cells in the waking state. You walk in a room and you feel that vibratory rate you know, it’s not based on how much miracles you can perform. A blow on the head can throw away all your miracles, you may not be able to perform another one, but if you have peace even a dead man will exude it, his very body will radiate a fragrance. So we’re talking of a different level of awareness and development, a profound change in the human mechanism must come. Now if you study the (inaudible) writings it tells you that the first thing begins with changing the body and mind is the builder so if that is so, it applies to the truth inside, you have to work on this physical frame. You don’t work on it what have you got? Spirituality is very simple, this physical body is the ground to work with and if you don’t work with it you got nothing else, all you would have would be intellect. Intellect we got lots, you can read all the books but if you don’t make one single change in this physical frame what have you got? You have to work with the mind, you have to get those particular ideas into this mechanism and start making the transformation in the physical body and be patient with yourself, this is not instant instant peace. God realization comes in its own way, if you are to merit an instant transformation, it’s because you’ve been denied it in a previous life and you deserve it now but most of us aren’t at that level anymore, we’ve long grown out of that level to have instant transformation. Many of us have progressed on the path towards knowing by conscious love we must go back to God. If we are lifted up by instant revelation, instant conversion, there is a tremendous hate, tremendous avoidance, resentment to the Creative Principle that we need such a measure to awaken us, to break the shell of doubt in us but when we return by conscious love, this is what is involved. The journey back to God is love or devotion that’s why Jesus says to love your Lord with all your mind, your heart, Soul, and neighbor as yourself but believe me this is pretty tough, far more tough than to be converted from ignorance, to really love your neighbor as yourself. They don’t sound so easy, you know it’s better that God hit you on the head and get rid of your ignorance and you wake up an enlightened individual than to say you want to love your neighbor as yourself because that’s a tremendous transformation for you. You see He wants you to change but love may seem as an easy thing to attempt to do but it brings out the best in you when you try to do it because it takes into consideration everything there is to take it because true love is unconditional, there are no conditions in this true love, and if God change you by some bolt of lightning on your head you’re fortunate that way because at least you walk out of it that way. Then you automatically change but then there’s always that peculiar sensation, “I’ve been pushed into it.” When it comes by love in a natural way where you love the Lord, it keeps you humble. That’s one of the keys in this spiritual life, to love the Lord or let Him work it by grace through your life, He’ll always keep you humble and humility is the cornerstone of your spiritual life. You have to build your life on a humble state, you have to build that inner life from a state of humility and don’t be in a hurry to go convert people. 0:40 One of the mottos of the All Faith Fellowship is “Convert yourself, don’t convert me.” You know Jesus said “Don’t remove the beam out of your brother’s eye or the mote out of your brother’s eye before you move the beam out of your own.” So if I can’t have cosmic consciousness, you can’t have it too see? If I can’t experience it how can I tell you to experience it, somebody’s got to experience it first, if we don’t change inside how can you help the other person to change. If we don’t find the inner love, the inner understanding of what’s going on, how can you help the other person to do it? Master Yogananda would say this, “Two blind men, spiritually blind, leading each other will fall into the pit of ignorance” because they’ll all be spouting opinions and opinions are no proof of truth but the general opinion of most men is still ignorance you see so if we are spouting opinions about what God really is, we don’t know, we have to live this thing. So if you find someone ornery in their ways, don’t try to hit them on their head, you gotta love them because that is what they may need to learn about themselves, how to overcome it. Are there any questions you want to ask, yes? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: If they’re ornery you better leave them because that’s what’s going to help them to overcome themselves. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Though they are ornery you still gotta love them, you can’t stop loving them. You know He said “Love thine enemy.” Well enemy, you don’t really have to hate him to the point that he wants to fight, you can look at ornery-ness in the individual a form of enemy to you, it’s breaking up your peace of mind or crashing with you like a file against a piece of metal so if a person don’t seem to get along with you, don’t go out right and hate them, you gotta love them but loving them… you know the Hindus say “love your enemies and kill them with kindness.” So if we have mother-in-laws that we can’t get along or father-in-laws that we can’t get along, we might as well bake that extra cake and take it but it’s a tangible action. Now meditation will generate love in you, prayer will generate love for the conditions to ameliorate itself but you got to feel this love flowing through your body, you’ve got gotta be able to feel this actual sensation coming through the body and when you go in the room, there is no wall between you and the other person, you can actually reach out to that person and embrace that person exactly like what Jesus did to the man who was obsessed with spirits. He came out from the graveyard you know, fully obsessed and all bent up but then he did not refuse to embrace the man, embrace or contact is release, this is one of the strange phenomenas of love. If you’ve seen a painting in the cathedral where they drew their hand of God and it’s touching Man, well how would an artist convey to another, what body language would he use to convey this feeling, only by some point of contact, two things meeting together. So in your own makeup that love has to reach out at some point where two people have to come together. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: So much the better. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Walk the extra mile He says, one man asked the Master Jesus, he says “Master how many times should a man forgive his fellow man,” what did he say? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Multiply that, all right how much is 70 times 70? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: 490 attempts and walk the extra mile before sundown. Now you gotta seek him out before sundown, confront him and go through 490 attempts to resolve it, has anyone ever done that? Look how long we carry the angers and the hates of our fellow Man in our heart and we move away still and go on and die and pass on in others incarnations still carrying it. 490 attempts, somewhere along the path in that 490 you’re going to have some resolving, it’s a matter of sticking it out and don’t blowing your cool. You know the young people like the modern day talks, I have to give it to them back. They want to realize this life, “all right you want to realize this life, 490 attempts,” don’t blow your stack and go face the situation, you’re gonna make it. Anyone who attempts even four attempts, something is going to happen you see? The mere idea that you’re going to turn around and face it and try to pull that individual into confrontation before the day out and within a 24-hour period, something is going to resolve itself. We have a president who lives in this country who demonstrate a little of that, when he got in there inaugurated as a president he says “We will not refuse to negotiate,” right? You remember that one statement he made, that is an indication of how to confront an individual. As long as you don’t refuse to face and talk, this will bring about communication. When the lines of communication breakdown between between two individuals, then it becomes difficult, you have to resort to more and more love, more inward awareness to get this thing to resolve itself but if the lines of communication are not broken and you can maintain the contact, sooner or later it will release itself. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well let me tell you the story of one of the trade ministers from this country that went to Japan, this happened not too long ago, he went to Japan and he met the trade minister in Japan and by custom when there’s what is called an “agreeable conference” the first thing when the visiting dignitary comes in, they would call for tea, they clap and tea would come in to be served. Well the trade minister of this country was sitting in the conference room, the trade minister of Japan is too busy and no tea is called, which is the custom. So he’s waiting for quite a while and he can sense the air is very charged because he’s going there to battle the trade situation so you know what he did? He began his own mantra, or affirmation, “The Christ in me loves the Christ in you,” that was his thoughts all the time, keep repeating it to himself. After a while the trade minister of Japan clapped his hand, tea was brought in and it was a very strained atmosphere you know because they’re trying to negotiate and bring this thing to resolution. When it was all over both parties were happy to a certain extent, the trade man of this country was going back to the plane to fly home. As soon as he was climbing up the ladder, along came the motor brigade with the Japanese police, out stepped out a man from the embassy car with a little gift for the trade minister of the United States. He got in the plane, he sat down, he opened the package and it was a teapot, two little cups that he had tea and a note inside, “The Christ in me loves the Christ in you too.” (Laughter). You see even at those levels with all the obligations, they still could resolve before the day was over so it isn’t that we can’t do it, even the obligations in any level can be pretty rough, we can resolve because you have to live with yourself sooner or later. Audience: (Inaudible).0:50 Adano: Well there would be to some extent you know because George Washington was an initiate, in fact he had a marvelous vision of this country and (inaudible) and Abraham Lincoln was an initiate but actually the guardian angel of this country is right over the tomb of Abraham Lincoln where the tomb is located that’s the focal point of the guardian angel of this country. Every country has got its own guardian force either there was marvelous insight or clairvoyant insight of the Divine or let’s say it’s a stroke of luck that they picked that spot. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Each country has its own guardian force, to say each state that would be a little stretching it, a little hard. Don’t cut down a nation of people because the government in vogue happens to be cruel or different in views, that doesn’t have to do with the angel guiding that particular area. The angel is concerned with the spiritual welfare of that area and they are going to be amidst the cruel people, spiritual people. You can’t cut off your left hand just to exist with your right hand only, you’ve got to face the fact that these two got to work. If they work together we have this, you know prayer, if we don’t work together we got this, fight. So in our world or in any country that we find ourselves there’s always that spiritual force field there and there’s always the opposite force field but it’s we the individuals who must see the truth and not be caught up in the force fields of ignorance, we must be able to detach ourselves to see the truth. That’s why all your great teachers tell us to love one another, love your enemy, it’s this great interflow of love but unless we can see that, we’re not able to do it, it makes it difficult. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: That’s chosen by God, not me. All right how many people in Virginia Beach are sitting down here listening to the relationship between God and Soul by the initiate life? Jesus said to His own disciples, “Unto you are given the keys of the kingdom and unto the multitudes never.” ow many people in Jerusalem or in the whole of Israel were sitting down nightly listening to Him talking about that relationship? It’s not a new relationship and don’t think I am the Master or anything, the relationship is simply this, to go back to God inwardly is devotion and contact, you must have a specific method to cycle the energy inside, it’s called the Holy Breath. Now Jesus came to His own disciples and they said, “He breathed upon His disciples the Holy Breath.” Now anybody read the Aquarian gospel, what do they mention in that gospel? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: But do you know it unless you’re an initiate? Audience: I know it now. Adano: Alright, yet the human body cannot exist without it, we all know that, unless the person is initiated he would never be able to turn it on. It’s like a car, if you don’t know how to drive it you can have the key is still not able to drive it and even when you know how to drive you still got to get permission from the police department to drive it legitimately. It’s just that simple, laws don’t change because we invent them, no divine law is just as accurate inside here as outside, we have to obey them. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Oh that’s a different thing altogether in the personal relationship, no that does nothing to do with it. The personal relationship of who move and who don’t move that doesn’t make that one person more important than the other. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Don’t you think your love will bring me back here, how did I come in the first place, did I come because people move who come down there or was love that brought me here in the first place? I couldn’t come on my own in the first place, if there was no love here to bring me, I wouldn’t come. Audience: (Inaudible). (Laughter). Adano: Now thing what the people in Boston are saying. One thing to remember in this spiritual science as initiates, out of sight is not out of mind, we’re all in attunement if we’d only sit down and lock it to the consciousness. The same love that you feel here, those in Tyler are feeling it right now just as much as those in Boston or those in Philadelphia or Chicago, they’re all feeling the same love. They don’t know why, I’m not in their presence but they’ll feel it just the same because love is a force field and the planet Earth is too small to limit it, only 28,000 miles in diameter you’re going to limit God’s love? All right suppose I’m upstairs and I’m meditating are you’re down here would you not feel the love? How many times people come in this place here and meditate and I’m way over there (inaudible) feeling, can you limit the consciousness? You know when I first encountered Yogananda, He was living in California and I was living in Canada and I said to myself “Master, this is the biggest meeting room I’m sitting in, I happen to be in the Canadian seat.” (Laughter). Equally true Lord Jesus, I says “This is the biggest meeting room, I happen to be in the Canadian seat, You were in calvary somewhere in Palestine.” Why limit the situations? You see the love is there because if you’re tuning in to that inner consciousness you’ll feel the love pour into you, it’s a matter of aligning your consciousness to the love and we were feeling that and I was talking to my wife, we can feel your love coming. This is what you’re feeling and once you recognize it, you line yourself up in consciousness. You know every Wednesday I’ve attended a few of the prayer meetings out at the A.R.E., that love is there whenever I go I can feel it at that particular instant in time. Once you’ve made the contact it’s there, you can know, you tune-in. The more you tune in on the various individuals meditating wherever they are in a 24 hour period or seven day week period, before you know it you’re going to feel that vibration so don’t let time and space limit your inner attunement. The Indians on the reservation don’t, they always says, “I’ll meet you on the rainbow bridge.” The rainbow bridge is the point between the eyebrows, the Beatles call it the “kaleidoscope eye.” Whatever you want to call it, still we can meet here if we tune in so don’t limit yourself, tune in and feel that inner love. (Short meditation). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: The manifestation, I just received this letter that stated that there was a church in Alabama where this cross of light appeared. I’m on my way through there, I would like to see it, I haven’t seen it yet, I was just asked if I would go through that area to see it but on my way through I’ll try and go to the church to see it. Audience: (Inaudible). 1:00 Adano: Well yes they were all interrelated, let’s face it the whole universe is light you know, it can’t go way too far from that and any spiritual phenomena that will come true to raise our consciousness will come in a form of light except the one in the Yucatan church where Master Jesus Christ crystalized His body for them. You see they believe that as long as Thomas was able to have a materialization of the Christ’s body, why can’t we today in this modern age not have the same thing and they got it by compassion. Audience: But they had to pay for it. Adano: All right now you know what we’re talking about and they got it by compassion, the Master did materialize in the church but at the same time there was a baron who was an agnostic who had a son with him and they were touring the area. Now that man got it by grace because he didn’t go in that church that particular period time for it neither did the boy and the boy was the only boy that had the camera and when it occurred he photographed it. Normally you couldn’t photograph a thing like that so there is grace and compassion both at the same time. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well I wanted to know who it should go to and all of a sudden the thought came to go to Marvin and I brought it to Texas and gave it to Marvin but what is interesting about it between myself (inaudible) it would be all right but there are other people who have seen the cross and know nothing about it and they are getting their own awareness about it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: (Inaudibile) …started in 1948 but since I was a boy I grew up in an environment where it was constantly going on. Audience: (Inaudible)… communications with the Masters on the other planes? Adano: When I meditate I have only one thought in my mind, “Father I love You.” What He does or what He shows me is strictly by grace, I have no desire to go by compassion. I’ve been by the route of compassionate already.
1972 January 15 Part 3/2 Satsanga
Adano72_01_15_3_2SatsangaQ2RR - Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: If the Master shows it to me I see everything in detail, if He doesn’t show it to me I don’t ask Him either. I never ask, when He wants to show me I know He’s going to show me something right away whenever I meditate. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Oh yes by grace it comes all the time but I don’t ask for them. I used to ask years ago, years ago I used to ask and I know the difference between getting it by compassion and getting it by grace, there’s a vast difference between the two. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: See when I meditate my consciousness is centered on God only and when I open my eyes, the meditation is over, she wants me to see the whole thing, I’m seeing it right now, I’m looking at you right now, I don’t have to go no place to see it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well let me put another thing clear, years ago I used to get all the visions I wanted to see but I never had the inner peace. Then one night I says “keep your visions, keep all your beautiful things, I rather never see another one as long as I live providing I have the inner peace. If you give it to me, give it to me when I’m wide awake and I don’t have to look around and meditate to do it. I’m going to know, I’m going to know it one way or the other, from now on I only want the inner peace.” It never came back, I never got another inner vision but anytime I’m supposed to see something, it’s clear for the whole day I can see the whole thing of it but I don’t want to see it. There are two reasons why I don’t want to see, number one the Lord does not come into our consciousness if we’re not invited and number two we have no right to impose our consciousness on other people’s freedom, let alone knowing the future of what’s going to happen to them. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well we must define what meditation means before you can say it’s the only thing, most people got different ideas of what meditation means. For me meditation is Mental Energy Directing Individual Thought Activities Towards an Intuitive Observation and Oneness with Noumena, what does it to you? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Mental energy or conscious energy so what we’re gonna shut out? Conscious energy directing your individual thinking, it’s conscious energy or mental energy directing your individual thought action towards an observation that is totally independent of the senses and a oneness with noumena so what what meditation now are you talking about, this is the one I know about. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well if you are one in that state, noumena is reality not phenomena, if you’re one with the noumena and not phenomena it is not a process it’s how you live, this is the thing you’re doing, this is the thing that’s happening to you. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Conscious direction of the vital forces in you is going on, it’s already renewing itself. All right renew yourself. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: What do you think, what is happening right now? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No, what is happening to you right now? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: All right what are you feeling? Audience: (Inaudible). No, I can’t believe that anyone else can do what I can do for myself. Adano: Grace is not nobody doing anything, it’s simply grace. Audience: (Inaudible)… without me working, striving, and having the will (inaudible). Adano: Well let me explain something for you just in case you don’t know, you get back there in spite of yourself, He’s got it all worked out that way. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Because He has it all worked out to pull you back, you can’t escape Him. In His permissive will we can play all the games with ourselves, in His cosmic will it’s already designed that every Soul has got to come back. It may take longer in the permissive will to recognize the separation and it will take longer in the permissive will to feel the importance of doing it yourself but that is not how we get back. He’s already figured out, if ever there was an agnostic you’re looking at one. Audience: (Inaudible)… you’re almost better to let them go ahead and work their problems out because even though (inaudible). Adano: They can’t make the decision by themselves, number one, and they’re never going to be to the area or the place where they’ll hear of that particular knowledge number two, because they will still be out satisfying their five senses. Now when that person is really ready inside and he may not know he’s ready inside and the question comes up “what constitutes readiness?” There’s a saying in the East “When the student is ready, the Master will be there.” Right? There’s that saying, you’ve heard of that saying. 0:10 All right but what constitutes readiness in a disciple? Audience: Total frustration. (Laughter). Adano: All right you see I wrote the Master once that question you know and I asked Him what constitutes veriness in a disciple. I thought I was ready, okay what constitute my readiness? And He wrote that one word across a sheet of paper “frustration,” total frustration. Why do we need a Master or someone who has found His way out of frustration? Because once you find your way out of frustration there’s no more frustration to frustrate you so the student is frustrated and he does need that particular contact point to get out of the frustrations to be free and once he’s free from it then he realizes now that in spite of himself he’s going to get back there. The thing is that when we can wake up from this particular mental condition of shutting ourselves away, we are free, it’s when we wake up from it. Now I used to be a tremendous agnostic, I was studying to be a priest and I spoke the unpardonable question by asking my mentor I says, “How come we talk of Jesus but we don’t do His works.” Now you can’t get anything more rash than that as a young person trying to learn in the church and the priest says, “Young man you’ll never be a priest, you’re a mystic.” (Laughter) So right away I knew I would never make the grade there but I’ve come to realize that we may set out turning our backs on truth or we may think we have found some way in which we must do all these things ourself, that sense of feeling that you got to do it all is so strong in the human consciousness, that we got to do it. Good and fine, all of a sudden after a long while you run into a big statement in your scriptures and every scripture got it “Not by your own good works you’ll get there but by the grace of God” then this throws our monkey wrench in your good works. You’re like you’re barking up the wrong tree, it’s peculiar that one should we find himself barking up the wrong tree and then well “how does grace work” then you find out there are different levels in consciousness between grace/compassion. So meditation is not just merely something we do, in fact you know in your english scriptures the word meditation is being used 24 times, everybody think that Maharishi from India came here and gave the world something new, he is old compared to what the bible’s got. You take the very first verse of this Book of Psalms and in that verse do you know how many times a day you are supposed to meditate? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Right how many of us do it day and night? Now I didn’t make that up, that’s there, the time is allocated for how long you should meditate so if I was to say to you that meditation is the only way to God, I’d be wrong because the book is already saying this is what we got to do but unless we understand what meditation really means to the individual, he would not do it day and night. I said before it is conscious energy or mental energy, you can’t be unconscious, it’s conscious energy directing your individual thinking and its actions towards an independent state of awareness, independent of your five centuries and this will go on in 24 hours, this independent state and it’s a state of awareness and oneness, it’s not just an awareness, it’s a oneness. That means that there is a moment in your consciousness you begin to align yourself with these forces for the first time and then this thing works for you. Now we have a choice again to either ask for these things or let these things work for us. Now as long as we ask and we don’t know then when we do find out we don’t ask no more, you let grace work. Years ago, I say the honest truth, I used to ask because I couldn’t see why these things happen and when I would ask, I always pay a price for it in some way or shape it work itself out that you have to face it. When it begins to be given then I realized the true statement of the Master Jesus when He said “Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all these things will be added.” He used the word added, it’s a very important word, added means to give you without question “unto you,” it is something that is given to you like a sort of a bonus. Now what is the kingdom of God within you? Seek this particular identification with your God-self and let this permeation of peace be in you and all these other things will flow. Well it took me a long time to readjust my consciousness to want peace as a priority over other experiences inside, you know peace don’t seem as much as something dynamic but when you find out how dynamic it is you really wish you didn’t start off the other end of the road coming up looking for it. Peace is a very dynamic power, believe me it’s a very dynamic power when you begin to experience it because we don’t understand it so it seems that an individual “go and meditate and get peace,” to them that’s not satisfying. To meditate is to say “well I must see something and know what’s going on and Sophie gotta tell me what’s happening next year or what’s going on in the stock market or whose problems I can solve now.” This is what most of the mind wants to do in meditation but to say to the person “try and get peace,” that’s very hard yet today I can honestly say between the two levels of awareness, I rather take the peace than take the other one because I know a higher force works from a different level to give you all the things that you are struggling so hard to get when you ask for them. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Right thinking, right thinking, that means obeying the rules now, the basic disciplines of the inner laws of Man, of God. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God” that is to say first look within your consciousness and the right laws of behavior because it’s a behavioral process, righteousness is a behavioral process. So if you look within and understand the behavioral process of consciousness then as you line up with this behavioral process, with the right motive the motive being peace, not acquisition of forces, that’s why Jesus would put it another way, “What would benefit a man gain the whole world,” gain means to acquire, “the whole world,” meaning knowledge of what’s going on around the different realms and still lose your Soul. The motives are different now, to acquire or to identify, and if you’ve got the right awareness or the right behavioral pattern inside then these things are added to you. I have to learn that the hard way too, I wanted to acquire just like any other individual wants to acquire, psychic (inaudible), something that you want to use. Good and fine, you’ll find out sooner or later that that route has a price on it just as much as waiting for it to come the other way. Now the life of the realized person they say is one of patience number one and love so if you’re going to be patient you got to wait on the Lord’s dispensation so Jesus gives you another statement to help you bear up with the patience He says “Meekly wait and murmur not,” sit down and do your daily attunement I don’t grumble, leave it to me to give it to you when it’s right but that’s a lesson you gotta learn. Well I’ll say this… Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: (inaudible). Audience: (Inaudible)… are you asking in the roundabout way for compassion? (Laughter). 0:20 Adano: Anytime you ask for grace, it is understood within the consciousness that this is right for you to ask for grace. Grace is that particular force that we (inaudible). So in consciousness if we say “Father I love you,” automatically grace starts flowing, you see? Now every time you say “I thank you” grace flows again, anything that will trigger grace, it will flow. So in your inner communion with the Father consciousness, you want to put those thoughts that would trigger grace for you and don’t sell yourself short, believe me don’t sell yourself short, grace has much more to offer you in terms of inner experiences. You can’t begin to comprehend (inaudible) the inner experiences that come from grace because there are levels which Masters exist and that you go to strictly by the grace than to go by other methods. There are more to it in a certain way because there are subtle transformations in the flesh. When you get any lifting up by compassion, the cellular structure does not get the full reaction as when it’s lifted up by grace, remember the scripture says this “When this body has thrown off corruption and taken on non-corruption,” how is he going to do that? You know non-corruption means not to decay so grace has got to come down in a very strange way to transform these cells, God is really transforming His creation by grace which He wants to do. Now you look at the caterpillar, a caterpillar spins its own cocoon and turns out to be a butterfly but has anyone ever seen a rotten butterfly? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: All right that’s compassion so the butterfly dies, it can’t even fly and of all the creatures that can fly, there is nothing as beautiful as a butterfly, you know that? Of all the things that can fly, there is not a single thing as beautiful as a butterfly yet he comes from a lowly caterpillar. Of all the marvels that I have seen, there is none to compare with a human being because he will be immortal, the only creature that can become immortalized in flesh. Even an angel envy you because he has not felt pain, suffering, confrontation and when he comes into the flesh then he will become immortalized in flesh. See an angel is a specific creation of the Creator not having human form or never experiencing human form but when that being comes down to the lowest level like the caterpillar level to take on, an angel is supposed to fly, right? They gotta wings right? So you see of all the beings that the Creator… No, what you’re looking at in its true context, angelic beings are designs of the Creative Force, they don’t have no wings but the angelic beings which are created by the Divine Force, not experiencing physical form, do not have the highest realization as Man who comes into the physical form. All right if the Lord was going to send a Master down to the earth to lift back society up, why would He pick a human body, why didn’t He pick the form of an angel? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes, because this is very important you see, this is an important aspect of the spiritual life, it’s like the butterfly versus the birds in the air that fly. All the birds are designed to fly, they are beautiful creatures when you see them all taking flight in the air yet they have never gone through the process of shifting over from one dimension to another and here is a worm or a caterpillar that makes the transition and it’s so beautiful it stands out as a specific mark to the Divinity. Man is exactly the same in terms of His other creation, he has the same cellular structure that will decompose like a caterpillar, he goes through the same transition period of what you call a shroud or death and yet within the same makeup lies the potentiality of resurrection, of going into that other realm totally free for the first time, far more freer than the angelic beings or other beings in the other realms. His freedom does not end at the feet of the Creator, it ends in the lap of the creator and that’s a big difference. Master Jesus once said this “If I throw myself over this, the Lord will send angels to minister to Me.” So if Man having a physical frame merit a higher degree of respect from these beings then Man also must respect the fact that the Creator gives them the highest privilege of becoming realized by using this very frame. It’s until we accept the frame as a measuring board for Divinity, we’re not going to really appreciate it and work it. We all want to work it yes, we all feel that we have to do it but the Creator knows very well that when He designed this thing grace is essential. So the prodigal son story is an interesting story to indicate what is involved in the makeup, God meets us at the halfway mark, the other half mark is that we do 25% and the Saints do 25%, you call them the Prophets of the world and the Prophets of the world go out or the Servants of God go out to arouse mankind. They are doing their 25% with their grace, their love, they are extending some degree of love and grace to mankind. Mankind has got to turn around and just do 25% of the work that is he’s got to clean up this mechanism, start with this mechanism, clean it up, line it up, and then lock-in with these exalted beings and they in turn will lock-in to the other half which is the God force but God is not coming down a whole 100% to meet you, He’s meeting only at the halfway mark because if you don’t do it or make some attempt to do it, we don’t appreciate it but we know we do need help, we can’t do it all by ourselves and we can’t left by ourselves. A certain portion of the work is being done which gives us the what you call cooperation or partnership, a sense of partnership with the Lord because you feel you’re taking part with it, there’s a sense of cooperative action. If you don’t feel you’re taking part with it then you feel it’s a sense of despondency or rejection then it’s not possible but because you feel this sense of cooperation then it pulls you up to get that action. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Paramahansa Yogananda? When He was in the body I wrote Him to go and see Him and He wrote me a letter and He says, “Don’t come and see my body, stay where you are and meditate.” So I did, then I wanted to go to India and He wrote and says “Don’t go to India, the best of India will come to you.” So I didn’t go to India and I wanted to become a Swami, He says, “Don’t go to India, it’ll come to you.” Well this was in the late 40s, now it’s a long time I could have gone to India and come back and do many things, it’s a matter of listening to what a teacher will say or do but I’ve lived through and seen that everything He said materialized by grace. 0:30 When I was living in Canada a brother disciple of mine, a friend, asked the Master Yogananda he says “Why don’t we bring this Adano Ley to study here at the retreat and help out because we do need help.” So he said the Master told him, this was told to me after, he said the Master looked out the window and He said “What’s he going to do here, look at the palm trees, he’s doing the work where he is. Well if you knew the kind of work I was doing you wouldn’t want to do it because I couldn’t sit down more than 10 minutes to meditate that was the work I was doing, trying to struggle all through the time to meditate. In the meantime I was working long hours too, physical work to earn my (inaudible). All right that’s for the first time he asked Him and he told me this after he said he asked the Master again in 1950 why don’t they bring me there to study and to help them and he said the Master gave him the exact same answer so he got kind of curious. Now he asked the Master a third time and it happened to be the day before the Master passed out of the body and the Master said the same thing so he was determined when the Master died, he was determined as to go see this man who the Master didn’t want to see (laughter) and we met in ‘55 it was funny. In ‘55 we met and after half an hour conversation he says “now I know why the Master didn’t want you to come.” (Laughter). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No from ‘48 to ‘55 was only seven years, I was still struggling but all the problems that he was having or having with his inner meditation or inner relating to himself and with people, I had solved them by living with people, how to relate with people and then he initiated me formally himself because I asked him I says “Well the Master… I couldn’t come to visit the Master to be initiated when the Master was in the body formally, though the Master wrote me a letter in ‘48 after I first heard of Him and I wrote him a letter, I wanted to study, and then He wrote me that He says “Prepare yourself for initiation.” Well imagine somebody writes you a letter like that what would you do? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well I did a very simple thing, it was a Saturday and I received the letter on a Wednesday and the initiation was going on in California, hundreds of people were being initiated and it was about 7:30 on the Saturday and all I did I took a bath and I sat down and says, “Well I’m ready” and honestly I felt a huge thumb pressed of my forehead and I knew a Master of Consciousness, time and space has nothing to do with it, if they’re going to give you something you get something. So I felt and I had an inner experienced wonderful but I still wanted to know the actual ritual of what they did in the initiation and when this brother disciple came in ‘55, he performed the actual ritual of initiation. Well at that time I was already pretty aware of what was going on inside to some extent. In ‘52 when the Master passed out of the body I received a cablegram and the cablegram and came and I read it, it said He had died and I was invited to the funeral (laughter). Now I wasn’t invited to see Him when He was alive, I was invited to see Him after He was dead. Well I said “Now you’re dead…” and I began to be angry you know and I start swearing. Oh yes I had to swear because I had it get off my chest, if I ever cried for anybody I cried for that man, for Master Yogananda and I gotta get off my chest and all of a sudden my eyes began to close down, I heard Him voice saying, “Who is dead? You know it all, why are you worrying?” But I’d never heard His voice before, I thought I was hearing something of my own mental imagination, in my eyes going on I could hear this you see, never realizing that is truly what His voice was. It was years after when I heard His voice on the record, that really shook me up that I really I heard His voice without a doubt and He don’t talk like how I talk you know, Master Yogananda talks like this, (Adano in a loud voice), “I Paramahansa Yogananda talking to you now listen!” So when I heard I heard, I heard records and tapes you know, this friend of mine who had a retreat in California and I asked him I says, “Is that the way He talks?” He says, “All the time,” he says, “that’s nothing, that’s mild.” He thought it was mild, he says, “You don’t argue with Him.” Well this friend of mine told me a story what happened, there’s a boy who came there, he had studied so much about metaphysics and he was having one of these verbal tussels with other students so the Master came along and then he brought up the thing to the Master and he kept talking, finding all types of debates. So the Master said to him “Son don’t argue with me, you’re wrong” but he says “Master…” He says “Son, don’t argue with me, you’re wrong.” He argued again the Master did like that, He didn’t touch him, just put his hand up like that and the boy went flying across the room and that shook the boy up and then He walked over (laughter), He walked over and put His arms around him and says, “No son you were wrong.” (Laughter). Well here’s another interesting story, this is from a sister disciple who told me this one. She lived there and there was a girl that went to live there and this girl was a Catholic at the time and she’d often heard of various miracles and in Her hearts she says, “Well all the Masters can do all these miracles” but she never heard of anyone feeding people you know because Jesus fed so many people and this was one of the miracles that she was thinking about the loaves. Anyway this day she was assigned to His office where He was writing and in case anyone came she was supposed to take care of them. Well 36 people showed up, you know like how they’re drop in in Tyler, Texas any time of the night or day, showed up. Well they showed up and the Master was talking away into the late hours of the night with them and then He said to the girl, “Would you please serve some carrot juice?” So the girl goes to the refrigerator, looks in the refrigerator, there’s only a small little jar like that and for 36 people it’s not gonna be enough. So she came back and says, “Master there is no carrot juice and everyplace is closed up and we don’t have anything else but a little.” He looked at her with a blank stare and He says “Please serve carrot juice.” Now you can imagine her mind, she’s praying now “Lord please, let’s have carrot juice for everybody.” So she take down 36 glasses, she’s gonna go through the motions, put them down, just to satisfy Yogananda and she’s pouring but to her surprise the bottle is not getting empty and the glasses are being filled, all 36. Now she’s a victim of mass hypnosis, tremendous mass hypnotic act because she’s convinced that this (inaudible). All right, she’s still going through the motions, she picks up the 36 glasses in the tray, she went in, and hand these 36 people, all drink their carrot juice, she put the tray down and in her mind she knows that it’s got to be a hypnotic thought, the Master would have this tremendous ability to block their mind, she don’t have a camera to prove it. 0:40 Anyway they drank the juice, everybody is satisfied, and then they were ready to leave and the Master just kept on writing, He didn’t bother to say anything to her. She found out she had 36 dirty glasses to wash because when carrot juice stains a glass it really stains it (laughter). So you can know she was scrubbing pretty long to get the stain off the glass but the Master never did this in the public you see, He did this primarily to help the students. Well there were two boys who told me this about themselves, they were staying there and they had never seen any miracles, they hardly ever saw the Master, He’d come and go and say hello, he touched them and say “good boys.” So one day He asked them to go up in the desert to fix a little house that they had in the desert so they went to the desert there and they’re by themselves fixing the house and in the middle of the day it’s pretty hot, they’re already finished and they’re hungry, no food is in the house except in the closest Dairy Queen. So they decided to go across to the Dairy Queen, nobody’s there but the two of them so naturally they eat what they want to eat so they got themselves a couple of hamburgers and milkshakes and they enjoyed themselves and they went back to work. Months passed after, it’s totally out of the minds of them and they’re back at another part of the Fellowship where they’re working in the garden and who should be coming along the garden is Yogananda and He’s porking at His plants you know and knocking out some sticks and then He comes around and looks, “very beautiful, very beautiful, next time when I send you to work don’t go eat hamburgers and malt shakes please.” Yeah just like that, kind of opened their consciousness to them but you see I don’t think a Master does this for the public, he does it just to help the student what he’s trying to do for them. I think my wife can tell you about a fellow named Ananda Moi, what he did to Ananda Moi? Audience: (Inaudible) … and he’s anticipating a life of sitting at the Master’s feet. Adano: That’s like Bo, anybody knows Bo? He says “I’ve ever worked in my life until I met Adano.” Audience: (Inaudible)… so he got put to work, Ananda Moi, they were sent out to 29 Palms, they were going to work on the place in 29 Palms… (Inaudible) and anyway one day Yogananda came and told Ananda Moi, “Why don’t you walk with me.” (Inaudible) and no sooner than they started walking off and then the Master says, “let’s see now your name is so-and-so, you’re from such and such a place in Switzerland and your mother and father is still living.” He says “yes” (inaudible)… then all of a sudden all the questions he had in mind, the answers started flooding into his consciousness. So he learned to quit asking questions. Adano: There is grace and compassion, you see what I’m trying to point out? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: There was a girl and her mother was staying at the retreat and she was telling me an interesting experience. When they arrived you know, the Master said to them after awhile, “I don’t want you to stick around here, you’ve been here too long” and they just came. He kept on, “don’t stick around here, you’ve been here too long” and every night he’d come for them to go for a walk and one would hold this hand and the other hold this hand and he’d walk with them up and down in the garden and all he’s telling the mother she’s been there too long and she should go away from this place. This is only a hospital for sick Souls, everything he’s telling to discourage the mother to stay and even the daughter and he says “what are you staying in this place for?” “But Master…” and every night practically for a while he would come and walk with them for an hour in the garden, they could not get a better companion to walk just the two of them and he’s driving them away all the time. Eventually when he left the body, it was no longer than 28 days, they couldn’t stand the vibration they had to get out. I have lots of friends who had experiences with Him. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yeah a little shrine. Well we have a couple of friends, the two young boys who gave the donation to start the Fellowship and they both grew up in the Malibu area of California and they would drive down past that spot every weekend and they see these two, they don’t even know what it is but the curiosity to go in the place and they wouldn’t go in and when I met them and they read the Autobiography of the Yogi then they decided to go in the place. It was comical when they went in for the first time, as soon as they got in the doorway one says “No I’m not going in this place, I’m gonna turn out, I’m too scared.” The other says “Well I’ve come this far, I’m gonna walk through it.” Well we were with them that day and normally the place is not open to the public, a part was open but there’s a section that was not open and I came along with them with another friend and we went to the little chapel and I was looking for a friend who was supposed to be in the area and his name was on the board and that he was supposed to be the brother of the day. 0:50 So I knocked at the back door and he came out and he says “Oh you’re just in time, how would you like to join us for lunch?” In the meantime the two brothers, they didn’t want to come in, they wanted to go out to eat so we sat down and I’m laughing because hear is the younger brother, his desire to eat is all being fulfilled and the bigger brother, his desire to meet some monk is now being fulfilled and we are sitting down in the plush area of the little shrine where all nobody’s allowed to go in there and all the different mementos of the Master’s life is all there so they can really examine it for their hearts content so when we came out after one boy says to me he says “Well I wouldn’t believe it, it’s only because you’re around here that’s why.” I says, “No, God works in strange ways, if you’re supposed to get it, you’ll get it” and he says he has passed that place and never went in to see it. I had another interesting experience with the Master Yogananda, he wrote several of his books in a place called 29 Palms you see and I used to stay out there and one day I went with a friend to search for the place where he wrote the book in 29 Palms. We drove all up in the mountains and we couldn’t locate the house, it was funny and several years passed we would go up there and make a trek all up in there and search and search and we could never find this little house. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Oh yes he did put up a mental shield block out my consciousness. Then one day, it was just about Easter, the Saturday before Easter Sunday and I had promised to do some work to transpose some work into tape. So that night we were staying at this friend’s house and the boy had an organ and I said let us transpose these works to tape and we did the transposition and the room was so charged up with vibrations that the next morning we headed to 29 Palms and on the way the sky was very clear, there was not a cloud in the sky and the boy said to me “Adano, where did Yogananda write his book.” I says I suspect it’s up in those mountains but I can never find the place and as soon as I said that there was a little cloud like a check mark over the mountains just like that and I said “Hey I’m gonna follow the cloud!” You know like “follow the star to Bethlehem?” That was exactly, I says “let’s head for the place.” We drove into town and by the time we got into town one boy says “let’s get some nuts because it’s up in the mountains, we may get hungry.” So we go into the drugstore, got the nuts, and come out the cloud is gone. I says “Well as far as I remember it’s over these mountains” and we went up the mountain and around and then came the interesting part, we’re going up to the edge of the mountain where we thought we saw it and the cloud came back just within the height of this little canopy and the way it pointed, it was just between some trees and the wind just moved the trees lightly and I can see a little cottage between the trees and there was a little sign marked “Ananda,” that was a place he was living. So I climbed over the fence, it wasn’t high it was just a fence about that height, you can imagine my hair and the wind blowing me I looked like the wild man from Borneo but what’s going to be the sticky situation is to convince anybody that’s in the place. You ever get the experience that somebody is looking at you, you don’t see them? Well I’m in the compound and I can feel some eyes looking at me. Well after awhile the door opens and out steps out two sisters. Now how are you gonna tell them that you’re looking for a place, only thing is to tell them the truth. I says, “Sister my name is Adano Ley, I studied Yogananda’s work and I know the Master brought me here because I was looking for the place for a long time and a cloud brought me here.” (Laughter). Either she accept it but that’s what I told her and she looked at me in a kind of puzzled way says “Well this is not open for people you know, this is closed up and since the Master died the place has now been closed and we are here, we just take care of the normal grounds but not that part where he writes his books.” I says “Could we just walk around and meditate a little while, we wouldn’t disturb, and we’ll go on our way but I’m happy to know this is the place.” She says “sure.” So we walked around and one boy is standing next to me and the other one went a little way to that wall and I’m standing here and I’m looking on the tree and I can see this bright sun coming down and I know the Master is standing right here but then this other fellow who don’t believe anything he’s nudging me he says “You seeing what I’m seeing?” I says “What are you worried about? Just accept the fact that you’re seeing it.” He said “but me of all people man, I’m a drunkard…” I says “accept it.” So he saw the Master standing there and then the Master disappeared then the door opened and out comes out the sister. She says “You know we were inside praying, Master must have really brought you people here because we got the urge to come and ask you to go and see the room, would you like to go and see it, it’s never been opened before but we just got the urge to come and ask you?” So the two boys says “No we don’t want to go in.” I says “The door is open for me, I’m going.” So they decided to go. Well they walked behind the girl and I was walking last, she opened the door in the little room where he wrote the books and they walked in and I was coming in last, it’s like trying to walk through an invisible curtain, the vibrations were that strong. You ever been behind a stage door where the curtain hangs down? You try to move it to find the exit? Well it’s like that, invisible waves. Well over the bed, he had a small bed where he slept and the window was covered with these blue drapes. All of a sudden the sun came so strong through the drapes right on the bed and you can feel this vibration and the sister is crying now, inside here I’m just going like a hundred miles an hour flipping all over (inaudible). Then we were able to look at the various artifacts in the room, I was very surprised that there was a piece of food that was sent to him the day he passed away from India and he had broken off just a piece of it. He was the type of fellow anything he got from anybody, he put their name and the date and the time and stick it there and this food came from India as a gift, it was shipped airfreight, he broke off a piece and ate it. You can see where it was broken and the other part is not decomposing. Now I saw a lemon given to him by the president of Sunkist company when it founded back in 1932 and it’s got his fingerprint pressed against the lemon, all the other part of the lemon is 100% perfect except where he touched it, you can see the big thumbprint and there were a lot of artifacts. There was a camera given to him by Mr. Eastman, one of the very first ones that they made then there’s a telescope given to him by Henry Ford and I saw a little typewriter. You would think he would type, he doesn’t type, everything he wrote was in long hand and he did his own editing but the way he edited, you would laugh. He wrote everything here in long hand this way and then when he edits, he edits this way. (Laughter) So anybody picks up a piece of paper to read it, you got your eyes going around in circles and they’re all stacked up, you think my place is bad, they just stacked up on the ground you know, he writes and just put it on the ground here and he never throw away a piece of paper in the garbage (inaudible). If he writes and it was no good, he just put it there and he wouldn’t mark off if it was wrong, he just write everything and correct it just leave it right there. 1:00 Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No I never heard, what I heard is an interesting story from Ananda Moi. He was known in that area as Mr. Ghosh and he lived next door to some man called Mr. Lord and he would always borrow Mr. Lord’s tools to work on the little cottage that he lived in and he’d have the boys go over and borrow the tools from Mr. Lord, come over and work, and after they finish work one day Ananda Moi was working and he had an orange he was playing with it and he said to Ananda Moi he says “When you take back the tools, take this and give it to the Lord,” that was the name of that man. So it was quite embarrassing for him to carry this orange and say “Mr. Ghosh sends you an orange” after borrowing his tools you know. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Mr. Lord had orange trees of his own. Anyway, he carries the orange and Mr. Lord took the orange he says “Thank you” and then he says “You know a pretty odd fellow that Ghosh, isn’t he? Mighty queer fellow.” He was an Englishman, this Lord was an Englishman and he says, “Mighty queer fellow that Mr. Ghosh, charming fellow.” He took the orange but then he realized that he’d observed that the Master was playing with that orange in a very playful way and he was actually imparting love in many ways into that orange and even if that man didn’t know what he was getting from Yogananda, in some way he would actually get an inner experience to wake him up but you see by borrowing the man’s tools he was actually working out karma for that man. Every time he would borrow a tool, sometimes it was so comical they borrow tools you know, they would have to take it back but these Masters have certain ways of working on the karmic debt of other people and to give them an uplift so by borrowing a tool from them and using it and sending it back by human contact and then to send him an orange you know, as if to say “Thanks I’m glad I used your tools now here I can feed you too” but it was more than that. The man when he passed on, now this is interesting, when the man passed on he had no heirs but before he died, two days before he died, he gave the whole building Mr. Ghosh. Yeah he donated the whole building to Mr. Ghosh, he had no heirs and they said they never saw the man at no meeting or he never came around here but all of a sudden they got the paper saying “this building will go to Mr. Ghosh” and they said he didn’t live more than two days after. The papers were all drawn up and signed and sent and he didn’t live two days after and they said the Master performed the crematory rights for him but this was interesting because they realized something had to be going on the inner realms between the two men, you see? That the Master and him had a different communication on the inside. Audience: (Inaudible). Well Ananda Moi told him something else when the monks were building the dormitory, Ananda Moi and one of his brothers were up on the second floor bricklaying and the other brother had gone down to fill his (inaudible) with bricks and bring them back up the ladder and when he got to the top of the ladder somehow he made a mismotion you know and the brick being so heavy and he grabbed the ladder and he started going back and he said that ladder had gone beyond the point there’s no return and the brother said, what was it? Adano: “Is that what you want Master?” Because he would have been a dead Man, “Is that what you want?” Well that’s what he say. Audience: (Inaudible) …and when the job was finished the contractor said “What goes on around here nobody could ever explain.” Adano: He said “Everybody that work in this place…” you see they were unskilled labor, he was the only skilled man you see. He says “Everybody here should be all dead, Nobody here should be alive” because he says he couldn’t figure out how much compensation you have to pay for the injuries that would happen to people. I remember one boy, he lives in Boston, this happened and he was initiated and he lives now in Brockton. Years ago I initiated this young man in Louisiana, anyway after the initiation and they got married, I married them myself, you know performed the marriage, he and his wife, and then they were going on a trip in their car with some friends and while they’re driving the rain is falling and the brakes give out and they’re sliding all the way down. I hear the news after from them, he says, “All we can think is well Brother Ananda Moi says ‘Is this what you want?’” and he says “Is this what you want Lord?” He said he start calling on all the different names that he knew, he said they slide and slide and slide and hit the ramp, nobody was injured, the car runs right into the ramp. When the policeman came and looked at the car he couldn’t figure out how they didn’t go over the embankment because just the lip of, what you call that the bumper, was held up by the edge of that piece of metal plate, it was just holding it and they should have gone right over the embankment. So sometimes some strange things happen to us in our own way. Audience: (Inaudible). 1:14 Adano: So you went through the time warp. Audience: I guess I did. (Inaudible). Adano: Well we all learn the hard way, if you let it be it’s the greatest joy. Audience: (Inaudible). 1:20 No, there’s an initiate ceremony for it before the cremation is done, it’s called the discussion between the Soul, God, and death. See God is supposed to be the divine resurrector and death is the divine brother and the Soul is the individual who is laying in the coffin and he’s coming home to the Father, which is the divine resurrector but he has to admit or accept his brother who is death as the process. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: (Laughter). Audience: Incidentally if you wish to be cremated it’s wise to say so in a will or in some letter… Adano: …because the law don’t permit it unless… you have to state it out in some paper. Audience: But even if you do it, your relatives can decide not to have the body cremated so it’s a very peculiar thing that way but the relatives have charge of the body, you have no rights. Audience: Speaking of kooky mothers (inaudible) and I told my oldest daughter that I wanted to be cremated and she said “no I have no intentions of doing so, I don’t believe in it” and I said “well if you don’t I’ll come back and I’ll haunt you.” (Laughter). She said “oh all right, that’s my kooky mother. I might as well do it because it’s just like you, you’ll do it!” Adano: Well why not do like that Yogi not too long ago you know, he he couldn’t afford to let the students pay for his cremation so he decided to do Yajna which is called the divine fire ceremony and he started burning from the foot, the cells started their own internal combustion from the feet coming up so you can imagine the consternation of the Delhi government, the Indian government and the police department, somebody cremating himself out in the public. Well they couldn’t do nothing because he was entitled, he sat down there in the hole with his students around him and the thing is coming up gradually burning, burning, burning all the time. He was burning all the way up and he’s coming all the way up and he can’t do nothing because he doesn’t have no gasoline there, there’s no match and they can’t stop it, he’s busy enjoying it and it’s coming all the way up. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: But we hope that the retreat would be eventually… Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: But we hope that the area in the retreat forest area. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes, well you see the average individual cannot sever it for a certain time, only a realized person can do that, that they can sever it. You see a realized person does not die the ordinary way, see there are four ways to die: one you die unconscious having no control over the mechanism and you go out the normal way in which you wait till the cord is cut by the Lord of Karma, they have to perform that cutting. Now there’s another way you die in which you are conscious but have no control over your will and that would be like an Asiatic cholera, some people die in that state because Asiatic cholera the patient does not die unconscious, they are conscious all the way but they have no volition. There’s a third way to die consciously and you know this at least three days before the time to come. In the autobiography of the Yogi it’s mentioned that Babaji sent a message to Lahiri the student and tell him by another man called Ram Gopal he says, “Go tell this man Lahiri, if you know him” he says “Yes.” He says “Well give him this message, tell him that the stored up karma of this incarnation is over” and when he got the message three days before he went in and cut the cord himself and just waited and went out of the body consciously. So this is a technique that’s locked up in the breathing, how to cut it off yourself, that’s why the initiate knows a way to leave the body eventually consciously. Yogananda did this when he was in California you see when he gave his last speech before the people in the hotel when he looked at them and then drew the current in the brain and cut it off, it’s called conscious exit, that’s the third way. The fourth way is dematerialization, that is the actual transformation of the cells immediately into the resurrected body. Now Babaji did this when his sister confronted Him and He was going to leave the body and His sister said to Him, “Deathless Master why do you have to give up the frame?” And He said “All right in that case then I don’t give it up” so He performed the recycling of the body through a conscious way so this is one way of doing it. Now Master Jesus He went through the actual conscious death by giving up the ghost, they say He gave up the ghost on the cross which He knew how to personally draw the energy up inside, severe it, and then recycle it within 36 hours or the 72 hours in the grave so it is an instantaneous transformation… (gap in tape) …talking of the atomic principle of light, that this consciousness is immersed with love in that light so when you really meditate you want to immerse yourself in that light inside. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well they bury the body and they have it in a crypt, they have it in a crypt, they’re keeping it in a crypt for a shrine. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yeah that’s a non-decay, well they’re depending on the laws of California to allow them to have it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No it’s in this country, it’s in this country. Well you see the thing is, well not too long after He passed on there was a man in Ceylon, a buddhist monk that went through the same thing and his students what they did to his body they melted gold and gilded the body and that was in your Ripley because Ripley went to see that when they did that so always watch out when you buy one of those Buddha. (Laughter). Don’t buy life sized, you may… Well they do that in Tibet, well there’s a reason for it to do that because the person is supposed to have reached that state of awareness and by gilding it, it’s determining what they call the golden aura now, he’s immersed in the holy spirit so they gild it in gold to preserve it. In your awareness of what is happening, the fact that they do that is to preserve them as a memory of that particular life that that Buddha did. Now in your case of Yogi Milarepa, one of Tibet’s greatest Masters, he used to teach in at least a dozen temples so you can imagine a dozen temples and when the time come for him to die what would happen, it would be a big argument right? So he was smart enough, he died in all dozen and gave them all a body to bury. Yeah they’re actually twelve coffins or twelve burial sites for Yogi Milarepa and each temple’s got one and they all claim that he died in their place. To say that you’re stretching the atomic structure of the human body in that state, it’s not a hard thing for them. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No that’s a different Master they’re talking about, Milarepa is a different man, his teacher will put him through some tough disciplines. 1:30 Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well carbon you see your basic structure is carbon to some extent and your body throws off the carbon because otherwise if you retain the carbon it’s burning up. Now if you burn an object, what is the residue called? Ash but it’s a carbon, it’s a carbon base so this body is 16 chemical elements plus trace elements and the base carbon is there, you have the the carbon base. Now when it breaks down by decomposition, the carbon base turns and becomes very foul so therefore we know this body is subject to corruption. Now how is this body going to be subject to non-corruption? It’s getting rid of the carbon but the carbon is only got rid of by the attitudes that you built up and the particular recycling techniques that the body will recycle itself, it’s is called the holy breath. Now you breathe and you throw off carbon dioxide, now as an initiate the holy breath is a recycling of this carbon dioxide so that the body does not go through that condition but this is an actual working inside. Now you have a automobile, you turn the ignition switch, you don’t shift the gears what would happen to the carburetor, what happens to the automobile? It’s going to get hot and it’s going to build up a tremendous amount of what? Carbon, so you’re realizing where what we’re saying now, you’re building up this carbon deposit in the system by internal combustion, you’re not shifting gears. Equally true in meditation, if you’re meditating and you’re not actually getting an internal recycling inside with the tissues then the body is going to build up this carbon deposit. Now meditation at no time should ever leave you depleted or tired, the moment this happens something is wrong with your meditation, this is one of the symptoms you have to look for but when you finish meditating you should feel tired, depleted, or that listless feeling it’s wrong, it can’t be. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: And that is wrong too, you should be awake. All right you had an all-night meditation here did you want to sleep after? Audience: No. Adano: Well this is what we’re talking about. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Ah, there we come back, you mentioned the most important thing. It isn’t that you needed sleep, there was a dehydration did you drink any liquids during the period of the day when you were supposed to fast? You see you need the liquids, you can’t fast like in the olden days no more, in the olden days you can fast without driving the toxins into the bone marrow, today you can’t do that because our nutrition is no longer as pure as it was in those days, we’ve got too many chemicals in the nutrition. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Alright but there there would be too much toxins in the system that is driving it so as you kept on drinking liquids then the body would have flushed it out and then the tiredness would not be there. You see you’re not supposed to get this tired feeling after meditation unless there’s an excess of carbon deposits or an excess of toxins which should be flushed out. Now that’s why today one should not fast without using liquids because the body will start to feel tired so if you’re fasting always drink water or diluted juice or some herb tea to break this sensation of sleep. This is the one thing that Jesus criticizes His disciples for, you see because sleeping is an indication that the body is overloading itself, it’s not recycling properly. Tiredness, these these are states that the body is indicating that it’s not functioning properly, the person who is meditating properly eventually arrives at a fatigue-less state, this is the evidence of his development, he’s got to arrive at these levels, the body has to recycle itself, the body is cool, it’s not hot, it’s not heated up, it’s always a moist, a softness, and a coolness, the texture of the skin is changing. These are the evidences of the actual development in the meditation so you know there is a transformation occurring and moving from a corrupt state to a non-corrupt state, this is the progress he’s making. So we are looking for more tangible experiences in terms of transformation instead of in terms of vision you see because those will leave you after a while but the transformation in here doesn’t leave you, it’s there. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well it’s energy and this is the evidence that when you do meditate the energy potential of the cells are built up to the point where it starts to release itself through the fingertips and it works magnetically so you know you are making progress because the vital life energy is charging itself up. Now Jesus says “Come on to me all ye that travail and are heavily laden and I will refresh you” but “all ye that travail” is a pair of eyes and nose, ears, mouth, these are the things He’s talking about and “Me” is the central focal point. Take these ten functions, these five functions in their positive and negative position and center them here in the Christ center which is the focal point and it will start a recycling or a refreshing action. Years ago I says, “don’t freshen up at 7-up” well when you meditate you don’t need any food because you can actually recycle the energy and the body will start to feel the energy coming out, you are making actual progress. Audience: There’s one more point about carbon dioxide (inaudible). Adano: Well it’s the carbon in there but then look what it does to the cells, the more carbon dioxide you put in, it inflates the cell, what do you inflate something with? Gas, so when the cells are distended by inflation then you’re actually creating more work on the heart and lungs and therefore it’s a harder thing to recycle. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well that would be very negligible in the sense because you are in the atmosphere already and you’re still going to be taking in the oxygen that will offset it you see so that would be offsetting itself. The only thing is if you’re taking it in terms of a liquid where it has to break up itself by implosion or explosion because in the liquid the gas breaks up, whereas if you’re taking it through the nostril by inhaling it, it’ll recycle itself by the atmosphere. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: It’s part habit, it’s part toxin feedback, it’s part magnetic feedback and it’s a part of your particular level of awareness in which the brain is relating to can’t stand the frequencies that are building up. Now if you meditate with somebody more advanced than you, you’ll fall asleep. You meditate with somebody less advanced than you, they’ll fall asleep. These are all cyclic relationships in the frequencies. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well you can cancel each other out or balance each other out, that’s why the group meditation is important. The group meditation is important in this sense that those who are advanced tends to balance out the magnetic field of the other person or the less advanced so they sort of polarize themselves, gradually the whole group can meditate without falling asleep but you have come in you’ll find a newcomer who has never meditated before sits down in the group and starts yawning and gets irritable and he doesn’t know why because their brain waves on their cells are learning to adjust to the new frequencies of those who’ve been doing it. Now as it adjusts it’s good for them to go through that because it will help them to make an alignment in themselves. The only the same thing would happen with Jesus and His disciples, they meditated with Him they fell asleep, He didn’t fall asleep but nevertheless He didn’t prevent them or stop them or cut off Himself from meditating with them, He stayed with them until they were able to pull out of that level, we have to meditate by ourselves and by a group activity to get this stabilization. 1:40 Now if you fast before meditation, that’s why it’s not good to eat and meditate immediately, if you eat your supper say at six o’clock and you meditation at eight o’clock it’s okay but to eat immediately and then go and meditate, the life energy that is supposed to do the digestion of the food in the process of assimilation is now suddenly shunted away to go up the spinal column to go into the brain and to go up into what you call the chakras or the electrical centers so that cuts off and you become tired. So the overloading of the stomach tends to produce this feedback of tiredness so once you start meditating, you’re starting to pull this energy. Remember energy is being cycled back, meditation is a recycling of energy in and up the spinal column so eventually you realize you can’t eat a big meal and meditate. That’s why the way nature has got it set up, she’s provided only a certain amount of food that grow under the ground to eat so that you don’t eat too much at night and you spend the evening time to be in meditation to recycle this energy and in the morning she doesn’t give you too much to eat either, it’s the fruits and nuts and they’re very light and you should meditate before you eat anything. Audience: Is it not good to meditate immediately before going to sleep? Adano: No it’s perfect to meditate before going to sleep. Well when you are kids they tell you pray before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning pray, it means the same thing, it’s a recycling. You’re not learning anything new, it’s the same thing you’re gonna learn but you’re doing it with more awareness now. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: I agree, we are being programmed to do things because from a dimensional relationship our appearance are one size and we are one size by this dimensional position that puts them in the sense of being like a jolly green giant and we’re little asparagus so we have to accept what they tell us as children so our minds our minds can’t cope with it. Now when we make this dimensional shift in ourselves then we can so as an adult we learn now that the things that we were doing in a childish way have meaning when it’s set up correctly in the consciousness. So that is why we always try to rearrange the dimensional levels in your consciousness so to pray at night before going to bed or meditate at night going to bed it’s perfect. I do it before going to bed and I do it when I get up then after a while you find that everything is meditation because your consciousness is it, that’s why Jesus said “hallowed by Thy name” you see the hollowing of the name of the Lord becomes the whole process inside. You see you can’t take the name of the Lord in vain if you don’t know it that’s number one and you can’t hollow it if you don’t know it again and the only way you can hallow it, you’ve got to be initiated into it to cycle the energy. So “prayer unceasingly” is hollowing the name of the Lord so you find now in as much as I’m talking to you, the holy name is recycling in my brain, it goes on inside, there’s no way I can stop it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You can hold a whole business conversation (inaudible). This is what the Master Jesus meant He says “prayer unceasingly” and “hallowing the name of the Lord” because this peculiar action goes on in the mind while you’re carrying on your daily duties and it doesn’t break the track. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes, the prayer beads are a mechanical representations of this thing.
1972 October Part 1 - Origins
Adano72_1OriginsQ1NW4 - Introduction 0:02 Those who don’t know, this is not a lecture for Swamis, we call this Satsanga. Satsanga means fellowship with truth and before we can start there are three things occurring in a Satsanga. One, we have a physical contact, two a mental, three an extrasensory, so let us calibrate the mind (brief pause), thank you. Consciousness of Man, this is very difficult to describe to most people because Man asks himself what is his origin and unless you know your origin, you really don’t understand why you have consciousness. In the Eastern scriptures or the Judo-Christian scriptures it tells us that Man’s origin began in creating or being the creation of the Creator, but most of us don’t even know what the Creator is, let alone look upon ourselves as a creation. 0:04 But if we look into all the scriptures we find that it states “God made Man in His own image and likeness, male and female created them, and God breathed into Man the breath of life and Man became a living soul.” Well we have our origin in that statement, Man is a living soul. It does not say that Man has a soul, it states that Man is living soul. Now for us to understand living soul, we have to understand the levels of creation and the levels of creation involve consciousness. We know it in our scriptural language as heaven, hell, different levels of purgatory, limbo, and so forth, these are only names that we have ascribed to certain levels of creation and Jesus refers to them as many mansions, “In My Father’s house there are many mansions.” Symbolically speaking, but being made in the image of God and the likeness of God, these are two things: image / likeness. The image of God is conscious energy, energy, you know it in the form of atoms. The likeness of God is intelligence, the all pervading omnidirectional awareness. The two in unity via the breath process brings forth soul. You look upon it and you call it Man. 0:06 Yet the English word Man comes from the Sanskrit word Manas, Man As, in Sanskrit Manas means organized thinking or mind, Man As he is, a thinking organism, therefore as we look at ourselves, we are thinking organisms. Then the scripture comes back and tells us “As a Man think in his heart, that is what he is.” We find ourselves returning to the origin of our nature, but we can’t understand this origin until we understand the levels of creation, how we come to be in this mechanism. If we had a blackboard… Do we have a blackboard? Alright, we will try to go without a blackboard. The very first level of consciousness or expression of the Creator at its lowest manifestation, can’t go any further than that, is called Matter. This is it, right around you, solid substance, matter. This matter is conscious energy, it took Einstein to convince us that matter around us is energy. 0:08 Now matter is held in a state by some intelligence working upon it. In your scriptures we refer to that state as hell, H-E-L-L, as if it is something bad, but in reality it’s H-E-L-D. Consciousness is held in a state of suspension called matter, the very first expression of Being, and since we are an expression of that Being, we are held in that state. So we don’t go to a place when we pass on called H-E-L-L, we are already in that state called H-E-L-D. Omar Khayyam was very wise and he made us aware of the fact, he said “I sent the Soul out into the invisible, a letter of the afterlife to spell, by and by the Soul came back and said, ‘I myself am Heaven and Hell.’” This removes the illusion or the fear of some remote region in time and space as a dungeon for unwanted Souls. If we are an expression of the Creator, then why would the Creative Intelligence doom us into extinction or exile us into some area to be tormented or punished. It’s because we don’t comprehend the terms that are being used in relation to the Soul. Man is Soul, he doesn’t have a Soul, but because he is Soul, he’s involved with levels of expressions or creations. These levels are to be realized or mastered. 0:10 Once we’ve mastered them we return back to the source. The source we came from is Creative Intelligence or pure Being, the state we’re in is matter. Now this first level is called “Matter acting on Matter” that’s the first level you’re in, but it’s the last level down from the Creator. It’s the first level of self-recognition, but the last level of total manifestation. As we see ourselves here, we are the last expression of the Creator, matter, as we look upon ourselves and try to realize it, it’s the first thing we can realize using the mind to realize our existence, this is what you call self realization, it’s not God realization yet. Self realization is not God realization, self realization is relating to what you are, God realization is relating to how you became what you are. What you are now is matter acting on matter, you perceive this through the senses, therefore we are in this state, we are held in this state and this state creates torment because of the frustrations that are involved in it, the friction between two material forces acting upon themselves. We pit ourselves against another physical substance, it creates a sensation, that sensation we perceive it in terms of pain or pleasure, our consciousness reacts. Therefore we try to run away from this level by trying to ascend to another level, there’s no other level below matter to go to, you are already in the state of matter, you are held in this state so where would you go down to, you can’t go any further than that. It’s here we are right now in the state of matter, we have to transcend matter or rise above matter on our journey back to the source which is the Creative Intelligence. 0:12 So the first level up now from Matter acting on Matter, or perception through contact with matter, is Energy acting on Matter. The scientist has now opened the doors for us to recognize energy. Centuries ago you were only aware of solid matter, you were not aware of properties of matter, we could not related in terms of properties of matter. Any attempt to related to the properties of matter by a few individuals they were called crazy crackpots, any attempt to write it down they had to use symbols to avoid ostracism let alone being strung up by the ignorant mind that was embedded or enmeshed in the structure of matter, no one could perceive centuries ago the properties of matter. As we become aware that matter contains certain properties and that these properties are no longer in the range of the five senses, they threaten our existence until we are intelligent enough to harness it. Benjamin Franklin discovered that a kite in the air and sending a key up the kite string, sparks begin to go off and electrical power is there. At that time no one could harness it, but the phenomena existed long before Franklin came along to prove it or demonstrate it, but because it was recognizable it was also a threat. 0:14 Once it becomes a threat those who don’t understand will destroy the person who presents the truth to them, but as we gain understanding, that is what we call cognition to some degree, we begin to cognize these forces that energy is acting on matter, then the world-mind or the group-mind is suddenly expanded. It takes the individual mind of Matter acting on Matter to raise other group-minds by first presenting certain facts about the environment and as these facts are presented, then the group-mind is raised and as we apply it the group-mind then moves toward a higher state of awareness, but it’s always an individual who moves the group-mind. We are involved with this, we don’t recognize it until we are hit by it and it hurts us. So the second level up in Man’s unfoldment back to the source is Energy acting on Matter, that is the state of cognition in you. Now the third level up, very few of us can employ Energy acting on Matter, some of us did not know how to employ it. 0:16 For instance we have a few examples of those who were able to employ Energy acting on Matter. We take some type of force like water and let it hit a waterwheel and as it hits the waterwheel and turns, then some energy is released to move other objects. We take the wind and let it turn a windmill and we have another form of energy occurring. These are gradual indications of how energy is acting then as we get more and more sophisticated, we start breaking down the substance itself and discharging the energy out of it in terms of heat and harnessing that heat now to drive other equipment like a steam engine, powerhouses, generators, and so forth. We have that type of unfoldment, consciousness is growing in Man, but that doesn’t take him back to the Source as yet, this is his unfoldment, this is what he’s transcending. Now the next level he has to move to is Consciousness acting on Matter, this we see when people pray. They pray in consciousness, they send up thoughts or IDs (ideas) and the ID crystallizes around that desire that they’re praying and then that desire is suddenly experienced. Well for example, a person has broken a bone or has a disease of the heart or lungs, kidney, gall bladder, and you can pray for that person. Now the lung or the heart or the bone is a solid substance, it’s matter as far as the mind will accept, prayer is an ideational communication and that’s consciousness and you’re sending it out into time and space and you’re looking for a result by the sustained repetition of the prayer. 0:18 You have no guarantee that some intelligent force responded, you only assume it responded when the action corrects itself in the person and you give thanks. In reality nothing is wrong with your assumption, in fact your assumption is genuine that some force went into work or went to manifest itself, but the confidence in that force has to be built up and the reality of how this force operates has to be understood and then the avoidance of a fanatism must take place within you otherwise you become egotistical and think you can change and alter every condition in the world by simply praying for it. There are many subtle forces at work in Consciousness acting on Matter. The mere idea that you can pray and correct this condition does not say that you are the sole doer of the action, you are the channel through of directing some degree of consciousness to exert its influence on matter because you are Soul, you carry this potential quality in yourself. It is the Divine Intelligence personalized in you that you are able to generate this devotion or attitude. 0:20 Now as you generate it and see it occurring, you pray and the prayer is answered and you realize it’s answered, that is exactly Consciousness acting on Matter. Now Consciousness acting on Matter takes place in time and space: it can be instantaneous, it can be at a distance, or it can take a prolonged time to occur, but nevertheless it is your concentrated consciousness exerting an influence on substance or matter to bring about a change. Many of us have done this knowingly or unknowingly and that is our third level of consciousness and our origin involved with it. Now comes the next level, many of us don’t get past this level now, we just remain there and act out our lives capable of monitoring matter in some degree by consciousness. Some of us can actually by telekinesis, that is focus the consciousness to shift material object into space, these are all levels of the Consciousness acting on Matter. 0:22 The fourth level is Energy acting on Energy, here the scientist doesn’t go any further because he doesn’t know how energy can act upon itself or reconcile itself. They’re in the process of discovering or working on them, they’re dealing with a very subtle power, energy acting upon itself. At that level the Saint or the Realized Man entered what is called rejuvenation. His body is a mass of energy and it is monitoring itself by its own internal mechanics so He’s living on direct energy. Normally we live by indirect forms of energy, by eating solids, liquids, breaking it down into a form of energy to sustain the body. When we enter that state of Energy acting on Energy, we are now altering the mechanism and teaching it to survive directly on pure energy. This would confirm what Jesus meant when He said, “It is written that Man does not live by bread alone,” that is since Man is Soul, he does not subside or sustain himself by solids and liquids, that’s “bread,” in a solid form of energy, “alone,” that means he does not rely on the indirect form of energy, “but by every word that proceed out of the Mouth of God.” Word is vibration and vibration is in an energy ratio, an energy movement. The human mechanism is sustained by vibrations constantly passing through it, all around it, as energy. The various levels of energy in which the mechanism can absorb and work and function, would indicate that Soul is now coming up to its fourth level of awareness. One of the outer symptoms of that state is the fatigueless state, being capable of working in the environment in a state of non-fatigue and minimizing the intake of substance and gradually to where there is no need for substance. This is evidence of the Soul’s ability. 0:24 Since we are Soul, our origin tells us that we must prove these qualities to ourselves sooner or later and we find ourselves evolving to a point everyday feeling no need for food, minimum amount of food, minimum amount of tiredness, more activity in ourselves. How come this sudden change in a progressive society happening to individuals who are not aware of it being a spiritual principle, suddenly you don’t follow any religious belief but then you find yourself not craving to eat large meals in the day, then you discover you don’t have the need for much sleep at night, then you discover that you seem to have abundant energy, vitality, more zest for existing, working, where does it come from? It simply does not come by just imagining, there are certain changes occurring already within our nature because you are unfolding as Soul, the more and more as we understand, we unfold. Now in this state you are working with knowledge for the first time. The very first level you are working is perception, which is Matter acting on Matter, the second level you are working with cognition, that is Energy acting on Matter, the third level you are working with intellect, that is Consciousness acting on Matter. Now the fourth level is Energy acting on Energy, you’re working now with knowledge. 0:26 It is written that Man does not live by bread alone, it’s a known knowledge, a known science of how the body can function independent of solids and liquids, a gradual state of Soul’s unfoldment. Man is Soul, he doesn’t have a Soul. When he labors under the illusion he has a Soul then he goes through the various levels of confusion and never find the source back because he would not know how to differentiate between the sensory life or the illusive life and the real life which is the intuitive life. The next level up the Soul travel is Consciousness acting on Energy. Here now Man is working with reason, Consciousness acting on Energy, he is using reason experimentation, Consciousness acting on Energy. He can take electrical power, work with his consciousness and direct it. He can take forms of energy and direct it with his consciousness by experimentation and reason, harness it to his own needs. Also he can go into the extrasensory nature by bringing his consciousness to vibrate now and perform what is called psychic surgery. Psychic surgery is actually passing the hand through the tissue of the body, separating it, taking out the diseased part, closing up the wound, and leaving no scar, it’s Consciousness acting on Energy. 0:28 Healing the blind with insignificant substances like spit and sand as Jesus did when He spit on the ground, rubbed it up with His feet, took it and put it on the man’s eye and then also raising the dead, all these different aspects occur in Consciousness acting on Energy. The experimentation of consciousness and the Divine Reason occurs in that level. The soul is unfolding, but that doesn’t make the soul in that state liberated as yet, the soul is still subject to time and space. Because the soul is subject to time and space at that level, it’s not liberated, it’s not free. Jesus said “As many as received Him to them gave He the power to become Sons of God.” Also He said, “Seek the truth, the truth will make you free, free men all, lord of yourself.” The Eastern scriptures say Man must be freed while living, not while dead, he must attain Jivanmutka or freedom while living, he must attain this higher state of freedom, freed from the sensory pull, free from the time-space relationship. This is the freedom they are talking of. Now it’s the next level up the freedom occurs where Consciousness is acting on Consciousness, you call it the Christ-Self or the intuitive awareness. Consciousness acting on Consciousness, it’s the teacher self, the God-Self or Christ-Self, not the Supreme God-Self, but it’s the Christ-Self, the intuitive self, it’s the Guru-Self or Master-Self, it’s that state where the consciousness is directing consciousness. 0:30 The Soul has now entered a level in which the Creator is personalized, in the Hebrew writings they call it Emanuel, God-in-Man, the intuitive level is the God-in-Man relationship, the consciousness permeating the physical being acting through that level. In pure Consciousness acting on Consciousness there is no error, there in that state you are free for the first time, free men or lord of the self. Now that is Self Realization right up to there, you have arrived at total Self Realization where consciousness is acting on consciousness or the intuitive self or Christ-Self. Now Jesus made a statement, He says “you see Me you see the Father.” Now it begins to become God Realization from there on up, the Self Realization is the stepping stone into God Realization, seeing the Christ is seeing the God-Self. It’s the next step up we enter now what is called Beingness acting on Consciousness. In that state it’s the Divine Wisdom, the Creative Intelligence, or Holy Spirit, that particular level of being that holds us as one with the Spirit or the Father, we are held in that state together with the Father. 0:32 In that state we inwardly hear the Divine Current resounding in ourselves, it’s called the Holy Comforter, it’s comforting to you because it transcends every other level of being to hold you in the luminosity of consciousness. When it occurs in there, there is wisdom for the first time, a luminous type of wisdom, a radiant type of wisdom, your whole being begins to glow with it. Every taint or every action that was once left over is all cleared out, even when you got to the Christ state, it’s all cleared out. Now in that state you’re pure and luminous, this is what they call Ascension, you would understand it as Ascension. Jesus told His disciple when she tried to touch Him, “Touch me not, I have not yet ascended unto the Father.” Her negative force field coming in contact with His positive force field would have short circuit and instantly kill her. He had to wait until these conscious levels were settled, established, and cured before He could allow even His own disciples to touch Him. When He came back to them in the upper chamber, He did not refuse to let them touch Him because He had already made the transition in consciousness. Then the final transition was to appear in front of them and ascend into this ascended state of Beingness acting on Consciousness, giving them the confirmation that their reality as soul is a valid experience for them whenever they make the ascension. That’s why He says, “I go unto the Father, but I send the Holy Comforter who will remind you of all these things in My name and in My Father’s house there are many mansions, I go to prepare a place for you. If it were not so I would tell you.” 0:34 If these levels were not actually there in levels of Beingness, then a Master who is working from Consciousness acting on Consciousness could not tell us that this is the way back to the Source. A Master is an individual who has mastered each level back to the source, He’s not an individual who pulls you by the nose and tells you “come along, I’m going to take you there” like a cow with a ring in his nose. A Master is that individual who has mastered the levels in order to take you back to the source. He is the wayfarer, that’s why He calls Himself, “I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life.” He shows you how to walk backwards into consciousness from the level of Matter acting on Matter right back up to the last state now, Beingness acting on Beingness, Supreme Creative Intelligence, you see? 0:35 Now it is said that Jesus ascended on the third day unto the Father and He sat on the right hand of the Father, isn’t that what it says? Are you familiar with that statement, He sat on the right hand of the Father? Ask yourself, if the Father is the Omnipresent Creative Intelligence does He have a right hand and a left hand? Symbolically speaking what is He saying? The right hand of the Father is Beingness, the left hand of the Father is Consciousness and the Christ is that state of Consciousness acting on Consciousness. This state of intuitive development that the Master Jesus passed through, now He must go to the next level where He goes into Beingness, Beingness is superior than Consciousness. So Consciousness was a level in which He had control of, Consciousness acting on Consciousness, now He’s going to Beingness acting on Consciousness so Beingness is positive, Consciousness is negative at the seventh level up. So He ascended on the right and sat on the right hand meaning from Consciousness He went to Beingness working upon Consciousness, in that state He was in total ascension. Now no one becomes the Creator, no one becomes God, everyone becomes God Realized. So even Master Jesus is saying He is sitting on the right hand of the Father, He didn’t say He became the Father, He said, “If you see Me, you see the Father.” 0:37 If you can reach Consciousness acting on Consciousness, it is possible for you to experience some degree of Beingness, but from that level you have to transcend it to Beingness, but when you enter that Beingness state you are like saying “sitting on the right hand” or the positive charge of the Divine Intelligence and the Consciousness is the negative charge of the Divine Intelligence. The Father Itself is the Creative Intelligence that has become us all, even Master Jesus and all the great truth seekers, all the great Teachers of truth, this Creative Intelligence has become us all. There in that state Pure Beingness is total love, total compassion, total mercy, It’s devoid of all form, but It cannot communicate to Its creation which is Soul on an intimate level unless there is some form. Beingness cannot communicate to anything unless there’s a form. In pure Beingness if there is no form to communicate with, there is no communication because it’s total infinite love, total unconditional love, total unconditional grace, to whom will it communicate? It needs consciousness to communicate with because it’s Beingness. So the only level that Man as a being can aspire to is Beingness acting on Consciousness. Therefore the scripture says we become individuals who have dominion over the Universe, “Unto Man is given the power to have dominion over the universe,” that is Beingness acting upon Consciousness, it does not say that Man becomes the owner of the Universe. 0:39 There is no way, shape, or form that Man will ever become owner of the universe, he cannot say “I am God” but he can say that “I am God realized.” Now being God realized does not mean to advise them, His very presence is luminous to radiate peace, a peace that passes understanding, a peace that heals the consciousness because that’s what you want to heal, consciousness that is in a state of confusion, a state of restlessness, and peace entering consciousness from that pure Being state subsides all internal strife and you feel now you are in the presence of a Being who is emanating peace. Now one would have to arrive at this inner integration to feel it and recognize it then one knows without doubt that one is soul and soul is that reflected aspect of the pure intelligence, that effulgent light that emanantes through the body. Our origin is locked up in Beingness where we all came down from and the highest state we can return on the conscious level is Beingness acting on Consciousness because it must have consciousness to relate to and if there is no consciousness to relate to, we can’t understand Beingness, we would dissolve into the Beingness and the basic fear of human mind is that if he finds God he’s going to lose himself in God and he wants to hold onto his individuality. Isn’t that why we are afraid to look for God? Less we find ourselves like a sugar cube dissolving in water, but what becomes of the water when the sugar cube is dissolved into it? It gets sweet. 0:41 When the consciousness of the individual is dissolved in the ocean of Beingness, the consciousness of the individual becomes omnidirectional, that’s why they call it Cosmic Consciousness or liberated. There is no loss of identity, it’s the first time you have found your identity, it’s the first time you have found your oneness. “I and my Father are one.” It’s a state of being in which you live and function, you go into that state and you recognize it, you identify, and you come back down into the sensory level to live and living in the sensory level you have no desires, you function according to Divine Will. Now the Divine Will is God’s desire to be acted out by His creation. Creation must make the attempt to fulfill God’s will so Jesus is telling us, “Man ought to be perfect.” Man ought to bring into manifestation the perfected will of God by the right attitude. Knowing your origin, it makes it easier to bring this about in your life, not knowing your origin makes it difficult because you don’t know where you’re going, you don’t know why you are here, and you don’t know what is happening to you. If you know where you’re going, you know how you were constructed, then it becomes easy to live with the mistakes accumulated through the centuries of thinking, let alone the implications of your daily life, you will begin to see now the value of unfoldment, you will see the value of facing yourself. 0:43 This leads to an involvement in life. You could not be involved with life and love it or understand it if you don’t know your origin, but if you know your origin you can accept your involvement. Jesus said, “Take my yoke upon thee for it is light.” He had to indicate at some point of His mission where we are, who we are, what we are in order to be involved. So our true knowledge is necessary first as to our origin, we have to remove from the consciousness that we have a Soul, that we are Soul, and do not be afraid to admit it. The Realized Master only exists in the world primarily to refute the erroneous idea that Man has a Soul. He lives as an example of Man being Soul, total mastery of His origin. Now living in the world is called the God in flesh, the incarnate of the Divine Being into matter, this is what the term Emmanuel means, this is what the term Avatara in the Hindu scriptures mean, the descent of the Being or the Spirit into the flesh into the Godhead. This coming down from that pure state of being right down to Matter acting on Matter, the last level. This is also meaning, “He descended into Hell and rose on the third day and ascended into Heaven.” The Beingness of a Realized Man can go to the lowest level of Matter acting on Matter became He knows He’s Soul and ascend right back to the source of pure Being all within the course of one lifetime. 0:45 Soul is that reality in which we find ourselves involved with, we are the Soul, we don’t have a Soul. I’ll give you a little illustration. If you take flour, raisins, water, oil, and put it all together and you put it in a baking pan and you bake it what would you call it after it’s finished baking? (audience inaudible) Why don’t you call it “flour, raisin, water, cook?” Why do you suddenly give it a name? The ingredients are there, but you don’t call it that anymore, you suddenly give it a name. Man is Soul, but the ingredients of the Soul is a chemical body, an electrical or energy body, an idea or thought body or a causal body, these are the ingredients of Man that makes him up and that composition is called Soul. Man is this unique composition of a chemical structure of 16 basic elements and trace elements, an electrical composition of 19 elements, and an ideational or thought composition of 35 elements in the (inaudible) matrix, he’s classified by the Creative Intelligence as Soul, so he doesn’t have a Soul. 0:47 Now what breaks down in Man is the way he thinks, “As a man thinketh that is what he is.” His thinking sets the degenerative action going by not knowing his origin, by not knowing his true nature. As long as he thinks he has a soul, he starts the degenerative action moving already, he starts the aging process to go, he starts every action to break down the chemical body. All the emotional output, all the disturbances start going out because not knowing the origin. Now knowing the origin you will start recycling, you will start regenerating back, the whole process becomes back to its source so the body does not break down, the mind does not go into frenzy or restless states, and the spiritual equalities remain in the highest state of extra sensory attunement therefore the whole unit now is a luminous mirror of the Divine. Man is Soul, see? But he has to accept it and that’s very difficult after being told that you have a Soul and you’ve got to save it and you have to save it from being put into some limbo and when I was a kid I used to say, “Why would the devil want to use my soul as charcoal for his oven?” You see? He’s gonna send us into hell and the devil down there is going to poke us into an oven and burn us up? I couldn’t figure out why he was going to use my soul as charcoal, but when you’re a child you think like a child until you mature in consciousness and realize what it’s all about involving the Divine Consciousness. The Divine Consciousness has placed within this very structure all the punishments, all the rewards, and the salvation, not outside, it’s inside. We reward ourselves, we punish ourselves or we can liberate ourselves. 0:49 We can break the bubble of delusion around us, we can break that tremendous thought that we have a Soul and enter into Soul freedom and know without doubt that we are Soul. Jesus and all the great teachers of truth came as examples to show us how to break it, but until we know how we’re constructed inside, we are not going to break it, it becomes very difficult, but once we know how we’re constructed it becomes easy to resolve the complex. First we are Matter acting on Matter, that’s the first level we’re in. The second level is Energy acting on Matter. The third level is Consciousness acting on Matter. The fourth level is Energy acting on Energy. The fifth level is Consciousness acting on Energy. Up to that point, you’re involved with time, space, you’re involved with the Lord of Creation, not the Lord of Intelligence, the Lord of Creation, karma, up to that point there is karma. That means as you do unto others is done back unto you, as you sow that you reap, consciousness acting on the energy rhythms. Beyond that state lies liberation, it’s the next level up which you call the Teacher Level or the Master Level or the Intuitive Level or the Christ Level, Consciousness acting on Consciousness. There are not desires in that state, there is no time cycle in that state, it’s all timeless, for the first time you and the Father can have a face-to-face confrontation, for the first time you can have an experience in Beingness. 0:51 In that level now there is freedom, the shell is being broken, Consciousness acting on Consciousness. So some people say “I hear the voice of God talking to me, I hear His consciousness permeating me, therefore I am moved by the Spirit.” These are simple ways to indicate that Divine Consciousness working on your own consciousness, that intuitive nature acting on your own nature. Some people say when the telephone rings, “I know who is on the phone.” These are little smigens of Consciousness acting on Consciousness. We can pickup messages from people at various distances, these are small representations of Consciousness acting on Consciousness. The full magnitude of Consciousness acting on Consciousness is the ability to materialize your thoughts at will. Think for one moment the magnitude of power involved in that statement, when you have entered the pure intuitive conscious level of Consciousness acting on Consciousness that you are in possession of the power to crystalize thoughts at will. You see if you don’t have an ethical life, you can make a mess of creation? If you don’t live an ethical system what would happen having the power to crystalize thoughts? Good or bad is crystalized once you enter that state. 0:53 Now you could not enter that state if you were not ethical in the first place, it’s not possible. To become Christ Realized where Consciousness is acting on Consciousness, the Soul had shed the impurities out of the heart, “the pure in heart sees God.” At this level purification of the heart is complete, you are free for the first time, the internal feelings of the heart are pure, there are no unethical feelings in there, it’s magnifying itself now and glowing, it’s becoming sacred, it’s your inner sanctuary of your being. There in that state you would now possess this quality that someone has an urge or a craving and your consciousness vibrates at their level of craving and crystalize it for them. In that state you don’t have desires, in that state you have the power to crystalize desires, not yours, the desires of those who are in need. Now Jesus did not have a desire of His own to crystalize it, He didn’t have to crystalize water into wine for His own needs, but there was someone who needed it. He did not have to crystalize health for His own need, it was other people who had need of it. So in that state when the Soul has reached that level, there you and the Father are one, you are in that particular level of Beingness, you have this quality endowed into you, given to you. 0:55 Now the next level up is the ascension level, Beingness acting on Consciousness, the luminous wisdom. There you see yourself and you are on the right hand of God. Now we use the word right hand to symbolize Beingness, left hand to symbolize Consciousness, one is greater than the other in terms of experience. In that state you have total awareness not only in a chemical body, electrical body, ideational body, but in life and in death you are totally free, there is no limitation to your journey home to the source, there is no level of creation to which you are subject to, you are free men, lord of yourself. You have to arrive at that state to be truly free men, lord of yourself, and it must occur while in a physical frame. God Realization must be achieved while we’re in the body, not outside of the body, but it’s inside the body that gives magnitude to being outside of the body, it is that which makes it possible for us to glorify God outside in the impersonal nature and to recognize Him as the personal nature of Man. So when you look at your fellow Man, try to feel the God-ness flowing through him on a personal level and feel the peace that they emanate, that little smidgen of peace that one can feel in another’s presence is enough to transform consciousness. That’s why Jesus said, “You cut out the tongues of men of peace and the very stones would shout peace.” Knowing the origins of yourself as Soul and know the qualifications of the Soul radiating out as peace, that peace, that little peace that you would feel, that little contact is sufficient to make changes in your mechanism, it’s sufficient to change other people’s and affect them. 0:57 And the last state, Beingness acting on Beingness, this is the supreme Creative Intelligence which we are all one. We came from that source, we’re identified with it, and the peculiarity of that state sometimes is that you meet someone and you feel like you’ve known them all your life. We have a tendency to relate to that as karma or past life relationships, but don’t get yourself too fooled with that, the reason why you feel this tremendous intimacy “where have you been all my life” feeling, you have come from the source of Being of pure Love, we’re all sprang forth from that Oneness. This is greater in feeling once you realize its meaning that the oneness of all things comes from the source of Beingness and when you feel that, then you really understand what Jesus meant, “I and the Father are One.” The oneness of all things. Thank you. (Applause.) 0:58 Host: I know some of you are anxious to ask Adano some questions, who has the first one? Audience: I understand when you die you can think of something and it will materialize, does that mean that in this state you have reached Consciousness acting on Consciousness? Adano: No, when you die and you understand that you can think of something and see it materialize in that state that is a demonstration of Consciousness Acting on Energy. You see thoughts that we can generate at that point can come to haunt us or lift us up that is why they say Benediction or Holy Unction of the dying in bed of the individual would help to raise the consciousness. The early priests did it but did not understand what they were doing but they felt that if their mind could carry some impression of some degree of love or holiness, it would hold onto it while leaving the physical frame. The thought at death should be very pure and lift the consciousness up. Now there are two things that occur when you leave the body at death. One: the Lord of Creation is on your left side standing up and the Master is on the right side standing up. That means consciousness is personified in the Lord of Creation and Beingness is personified as the Master standing on the right side. Now when you’re ready to leave, the eyes are pulled up and goes out through the back in the medulla area. 1:00 Now the first person or the first expression or confrontation at death is the Lord of Creation which carries the accounting of your karma, you’ll have the see the things you have done or abused the Creative Intelligence, the Creative Forces, how you’ve used it, how you’ve abused it, and have to account for it. Now if you are not acquainted with any spiritual teaching during your lifetime then you go immediately into the current of consciousness to pay for your deeds, “As you sow, that you reap,” then reincarnation is a natural law to compensate for the action of abuse of the life energy. Now the Creative Intelligence is not going to interfere, the Creative Intelligence is a pure white light beaming down on you, but It has these two force fields flowing out as Consciousness and Beingness and we as matter structure working it out, we leave and account for how we abused the energy. Now if we have some type of framing and where we are aware of some Being who gives us a model of how to behave, then that Being comes over and assume the responsibility of the karma. He doesn’t take the karma but He assumes the responsibility of measuring it out periodically to you in your incarnations so that it doesn’t break you up too soon and see that you go into that particular home or life pattern where it’s easier to work it out than just to be thrown into a life form in which there is no compassion and it’s very difficult to work it out. So the Master Consciousness, if you’re trained in some religion, that consciousness of that Being will be there. 1:02 For a Buddhist he will see Buddha, for a Christian he will see Jesus, for a Hindu he will see Krishna, that Master form, God or personalized aspect of God, assumes the karmic responsibility of the Soul to work it out in a form that is more conducive with too much overload. Therefore the last thought is very important like the thief on the cross, he said “Master, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” Now if we even have that particular thought image in our consciousness when we are ready to vacate this physical frame, then we will have the assurance of what the Master gave the thief, He said “Verify verily I say unto thee on this day you and I shall be in paradise.” Paradise is not a place, para is the Sanskrit word that means beyond, dise means desire, you and I will be beyond desire levels, you and I will be beyond Consciousness acting on Energy, you and I will be in Consciousness acting on Consciousness, I will pull out your conscious Soul force, pass through the various levels of creation where you are subjected to time and space and take you where I remain as a Master Consciousness in the Divine State, Consciousness acting on Consciousness. Now we are free, we are granted salvation at death by grace if we have this mental image in our consciousness after failing. There is no one who can say he has achieved yet until he has experienced that and as long as he hasn’t experienced it, he is wise to be humble and ask to be remembered during the process of transition and then the Master Being if you are a Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, that personal aspect of God will pull you right away through to that conscious level where you are beyond the pull of desire. 1:04 Audience: Adano, in the Catholic faith what is the purpose done when a priest is at the bedside of a dying man? What is that ceremony? Adano: Yes, that ceremony is the Holy Unction. Audience: And what does it do? Adano: It helps the individual to lift his consciousness in a forgiving state and achieve the benediction of grace that the personalized aspect of his belief would assume now the tangible sponsoring-ship of his Soul. In other words let say you don’t have no credit at the bank and you want to open credit, you would be required to have what? Colateral or a sponsor, isn’t that true? Now if you don’t have colateral then you have to have a sponsor, the sponsor would have to guarantee the bank that you would make payments or he would put up the money and make the notes easier for you to make the payments based upon your income. Equally true, this particular experience at death is to involve you and the personalized aspect of God that has embodied itself on the Earth as a sponsoring-ship of your divine credit in the bank of life so that you would handle your credit again to work it out in lesser aspects of turmoil, lesser aspects of tension, or breaking the body up too soon. This is a way of working it out. Now you are liberated by grace and pulled up if you can remember, by asking to remember. Now if we ask for remembrance then we are asking for grace and through this particular attitude we can be lifted up beyond the pull of our desires. 1:06 The only reason you can reincarnate, or that you do reincarnate, is the unfulfilled desire. Now if you don’t have no desires and you’re pulled beyond that level of creation by a sponsoring-ship of a Master’s consciousness then you are free, you’re liberated at death and there will be a change in your physical mechanism. Many people have died with a horror on their face and many have died with a glow on their face, this is what we’re talking about occurring in your being inside. Now there was a friend of mine who was an initiate whose father died and before he died he asked me to come and see his father, but I couldn’t make it in time so I said to him, “I’ll see your father before he goes” but he thought literally I’d get to the hospital to see the father. That day I meditated, it was four o’clock in the afternoon and then the phone rang and informed me the father had passed on and “I’m sorry you didn’t get to the hospital.” I said, “Are you sure?” He says, “Well no I’m not sure, a strange thing has happened just before father died.” I said, “Can you describe it.” He said, “Yes, he was in a coma all through the day and just about a quarter to two he opened his eyes and he looked to the room and he looked at me and all of a sudden his face went into a horror.” And he says “At that moment I felt your presence” and then he said, “My father’s face changed and there was a glow and a smile on his face and then as he smiled he looked at me, reached out and touched my hand, and he passed on.” I said, “Now you understand when I said I will see your father before he leaves. I did not say I would be present physically at your father’s death in the hospital.” 1:08 The Divine consciousness can reach out and lift your Soul past that point in that experience. Now the man when he passed out of the body, his face had a beautiful smile, the next day I was present to perform part of the ceremony with another minister and those who were able to see in the room saw the father standing at the head of the coffin and these were people who had no (inaudible) ideas or beliefs, they were good old fashioned church goers from the Catholic environment, yet they did have wonderful experiences in that chapel. Now what I’m trying to point out is one can help another individual in the last moments of death to raise the consciousness to a higher level by thinking of some individual who can lift them up or send them the thought of love that they are being lifted up. In the boy’s mind, he was constantly praying that the love of Christ would lift his father up and he was lifted up so it is possible that at death this happens and it’s very important that at those moments to even you know someone is passing on and you want to help them and there’s no priest around who you can turn to, then as an individual you can repeat in their right ear, “the Christ in me loves the Christ in you” and they will be lifted up. You see this is a way of sponsoring them. Your Christ consciousness sponsors them in that realm, you can be an asset to them passing out. 1:10 Audience: About the origin of how we got separated to begin with, would you help me that a little bit? Adano: The origin of how we got separated to begin with… The Creative Intelligence of pure Being craved out of His love nature to form a creation, remember He craves therefore desire is divine principle too, don’t look at desire as something bad. We would not inherit or have desire in our nature if it was not part of the creative structure to desire. The Creative Structure, the Creative Principle desires creation, desires a crystallization of love, love pure is total light. Now it has to have a form to interact on and that form must come out from craving, so craving in its pure state is God’s perfect will. His perfect will is to manifest a creation whereby the creation would adhere to perfect will and adhering to perfect will, would live according to perfect law of existence. Now the first indication of pure Divine Will is Beingness but because the Creative Intelligence could not leave us in that state of pure Beingness without testing His creation, He endowed us with choice or “I am”-ness. This is the next level down, Beingness acting on Consciousness, we are all from the ocean of pure Beingness acting on Beingness. Now for us to step out of this ocean of Beingness we have to have to step out of the Beingness acting on Consciousness, you see Consciousness is a different state and Consciousness is where choice is made, choice is not made in Beingness, you have to make it out of your Consciousness. 1:12 Audience: Well I thought at this higher level that our desires would be one with God’s desires. Adano: Yes it’s God’s desire but at the same time it’s freedom to choose to adhere to divine will. He has to test you at that point if you would adhere to divine will. He has a desire for you to be perfect, to remain perfect, a pure Being, He’s giving you a choice in the form of Consciousness. Now He’s telling you, “Obey My will, do My will.” Now if you don’t do the will the only sin we have is disobedience, we don’t have any other sin. Disobedience is the non-application of divine law, when we apply divine law we have perfect obedience, we obey the law, we are in tune with the Father all the time, we are perfect beings. When we disobey we are imperfect beings, then we are tainted with consciousness, we are tainted with the wrong use of choice in our consciousness. 1:14 Audience: Well then a lot of time you go through many of these different levels day by day, does that seem… And so Christ when He was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He had a choice? Adano: Yes. Audience: He was not predestined in other words to go through this particular event because His life led up to this? Adano: Predestined and God’s will act as one, choice or permissive will is the determining factor of adherence. God is already predestining His creation, let me show you what I mean. This building has to be prewired before the electrical company will allow the energy to flow through it, creation is preset by the Creator before He can allow His life power to flow through it as an actual thing. Now, you are permitted to pull the main switch and shutoff all the power and spoil all your food in the refrigerator or go and turn off the wall switch and (inaudible), this is a choice you have, but you don’t have a choice in determining the wiring, this has to be setup in order for the power to come in. Now the same is true of us, the karmic tendencies regenerated them and the responsibilities that incurred must be faced by us. Now we have the choice to avoid or face up to them and that’s what tonight’s lecture means, Involvement, how we come to be involved and to face them. Until we can face it up, we are not free from it, how we dropped out is a divergence from the divine will by wrong use of our permissive will or Christ will. 1:16 Now that is not something we are condemned for, it is not something that we are damned into infinity for, because we abused the use of it that doesn’t say the Creator would destroy us. If you have a child and you tell the child “don’t go in that room” because you have a bunch of objects on the floor that you’re painting and he may spoil it, the child comes in the room and everything is flared up, you’re going to spank the child and kill the child? You may admonish the child, but you’re not going to kill the child and you’ll start all over telling the child to pick it up and put it back into place. Equally true we are permitted to act in the creative forcefield, but we’re not damned to be destroyed because of our ignorance. We can regain our way back through the right choice just as much as we pulled ourselves away by the wrong choice (inaudible). Now the choice is determined by “I AM.” Every time you say “I am” you are triggering choice, you see, otherwise there wouldn’t be no need for it. “I AM” is consciousness, not being, “I am” a microphone, “I am” a recorder, “I am” a podium, “I am” Adano Ley, or “I am” Jack Smith, “I am,” “I am,” “I am,” Popeye the sailor man too, but this is the “I am”-ness that is constantly creating and separating us from the Creative Intelligence. It’s generating all the “I am”-ness in it to separate us, once we recognize that then we turn our face back to the source. We would not come away from the source if it was not designed that way. You see God has a purpose behind it, the Creative Intelligence real purpose for our existence is to follow Divine Law through obedience. 1:18 Now let’s say for one moment you had obeyed then we would all be in a state of pure love, you will not suffer the four deaths or the four births, but we disobeyed so we have to suffer them. Audience: Different things raise you in consciousness through the different levels, meditation is one, what about something maybe we are more familiar with, what is communion and how does that raise it, what is communion for? Adano: Different things raise you different levels of consciousness, meditation and so forth it is true and where does communion fit in? Communion is that particular level of awareness in which you are involved with the Christ Intelligence, Consciousness acting on Consciousness. Now of all the ceremonies in the church, communion is the most significant because it has the vibratory force brought down by angelic beings present there and those who can see it will see it first amassing itself into the chalice, into the wafer, and into the wine. Now a highly evolved individual partaking in that ritual or ceremony or that initiation, which it is really, will actually taste the wine as blood and taste the wafer as flesh, symbolically indicated by Jesus, but the actual taste relationship will be there for a fully evolved individual to experience. 1:20 Now the wafer represents the unity of matter, the wine represents the flow of the vitality of the spirit or energy into matter, and the when these two things fuse as one we have Beingness acting on Consciousness again. That’s why He says, “Do these things in remembrance of Me.” Every time you look upon the experience and see matter and energy fusing itself, you would have an integration in the Christ state. Now this brings you up to Beingness acting on Consciousness which is ascension, we must achieve ascension. You see the holy communion is given before the crucifixion, it was given as a preparation for resurrection leading to ascension and the individual is reminded that this is a bond that he has to adhere to, this is an initiation into another level of consciousness of Beingness acting on Consciousness. So once you experience it, even though you do it in a ritual way without any true understanding, there is that bond occurring in you and it’s lifting you up. 1:22 Now at the death bed, they do give holy communion to the dying individual as to insure that bond between the Soul and the Master Consciousness, that the Master Consciousness will pull it out of the levels of desire into that state of desireless in order to achieve Resurrection and into Ascension. You see we not only must Resurrect, but we must Ascend, “To him that overcometh I will not send forth a second time, but I will make him a pillar in the house of My Lord.” That is a permanent fixture in creation and a permanent fixture in creation is Beingness, we have to be some being in creation permanently established at that level. So communion is that locking in to lift you out of the desire levels which involve time and space, which is Consciousness acting on Energy, it pulls you up via the Christ awareness, which is Consciousness acting on Consciousness “in remembrance of me,” into Beingness acting on Consciousness, which is a permanency of your being. So we have what is called a tremendous gift of God via the communion in which man can be lifted up by God’s grace, not by God’s compassion, by God’s compassion is not what we want, we want His grace, to be lifted by His grace via these levels. By ourselves we cannot make it, it’s difficult for us to make it, there is too much pain and agony, yet by the grace impinging upon us by the Christ intelligence, we are pulled through from Consciousness acting on Energy, which is the highest level of human desire in this mechanism, into the Christ state, which is Consciousness acting Consciousness where there is no desire within the human mechanism, into the Beingness acting on Consciousness which is the ascended state which is the conclusion of the being. 1:24 Now we can have bodily assumption, not necessarily physical ascension, after resurrection. Bodily assumption can occur where your body is actually ascended without going through the throes of death as in the case of Mary and Enoch and the various great men and woman in past times and today in the whole religious life, there can be that particular experience of bodily assumption and it does occur, but the holy communion is that bond that takes us from the desire state to the desireless state to the established permanent state. That’s why we’re asked to do it in remembrance of the Christ, not in remembrance of Jesus. If it was in the remembrance of Jesus it would be a different thing, we’re asked to do this particular involvement in rememberance of the Christ intelligence because He says, “This is My body, this is My spirit or blood.” The Christ intelligence is involved in matter and it’s involved in energy and once it’s involved in matter and energy, it’s involved with desirelessness, there can be no desire in that state. 1:26 Audience: Well even those religions like Hindus or Buddhists who don’t have a communion… Adano: They have a communion, it is called a prashad, they have a communion, don’t think communion is a new invention, it’s not, it just so happens that Jesus used water or used wine and bread to indicate the ritual, the ritual is known in the East as the consecrated food of God. “This is My body which nourishes you, I am the Creator, the Divine Intelligence, Desirelessness (inaudible) free from all desires, totally free. Therefore eat prashada, eat the divine food of light and be absolved and be elevated.” This is not a new idea, Jesus just brought the idea and put it in a different context of utilizing bread and wine and trying to intimate that the Christ Intelligence is the thing, Krishna Consciousness means the same thing, it’s known in the East as prashada, the food that we eat, and everything there is consecrated. Now a true mystic, if he doesn’t eat food, the only thing that will go down his stomach or stay down in his stomach, is consecrated food, that is the holy communion of prashad. Once it’s blessed in that state, he can absorb it and it will stay down in his intestinal tract, if it’s not, it will come up back as in the case of the Catholic stigmatist, Therese Newman, she did not live on food for quite a long time, yet the only food that would stay down in her stomach was the daily communion that she took, the wafer and wine. Now in the East you have the same thing, you have mystics there that cannot eat anything or will not eat anything, but then they’re given prashad and it stays down, any other substance would come up. It has nothing to do with the religious names, it has to do with the principle behind it. So holy communion of prashada is that level that raises your consciousness from desire to desirelessness, forgiveness, or permanency, and this is the purpose of prashad or holy communion, that one would have this this consecrated food, it’s God’s love passing through and it’s tremendous if you ever encountered it, some people are healed by eating it or some people are healed by taking holy communion too, it’s that bond.

1972 October Part 2 - Involvement
Adano72_2InvolvementQ1NW4 - For Swamis there are no lectures, it is Satsanga, Satsanga means fellowship with the truth and there are three things occurring all the time, one a physical contact, two mental, three extrasensory. Before we can start, let us calibrate the mind (short meditation). Thank you. Earlier today I spoke on the Origin, before we can get to the second part which is called Involvement, let us review ourselves on the Origin of Man as consciousness. One is matter acting on matter, the very first level, two energy acting on matter, three consciousness acting on matter, four energy acting on energy, five consciousness acting on energy, six consciousness acting on consciousness, seven beingness acting on consciousness, eight beingness acting on beingness. Our origin is involved in these levels of creation and we have fallen down from those states, from beingness acting on beingness right down to matter acting on matter. 0:04 You know it as heaven and hell in your scriptural writings, in actual awareness of the mind and soul, it is beingness acting on beingness, the Creative Intelligence, the very source-field of our being, and matter acting on matter, the end result in which we are held in. Here we are in matter acting on matter, there is no lower step than that, we call it Hell. Actually it’s HELD not HELL, we are held in this state by the sensory contact of our nature. Now begins the turmoil of having stripped oneself as a being from pure intelligence, descending down all the way to matter acting on matter. While we could not come away from beingness acting on beingness if there was no desire, the Creative Intelligence has a desire, you call it a plan, a perfect plan, a perfect desire that the creation must go out through these eight levels of existence and return back completely untainted by obeying Divine Law or Cosmic Will. You know it as Divine Will or maintaining order through the process of coming down, but when we came away from that consciousness we were given choice, that is the problem, that creates the involvement. 0:06 We think that having choice we are free, we have nothing to be responsible to, we feel that we have this choice, we can do what we please. This is the very test that is designed by the Creative Desire to see if creation would obey. Now imagine given choice to do what you please and then told that you must follow a certain pattern of existence and go out and return. Many of us would obey and many of us would experiment and you ask yourself “Why did I experiment, why could I not obey?” Well if we all obey, we would not be searching for the way back to the (inaudible), the Creative knew this to be one of the principles of consciousness. He knew that in getting involved and obeying, the journey would be too simple, if we disobeyed the journey becomes more hair raising, it becomes more nerve wracking, it becomes more involved and that gives Him greater joy to see how His own creative principles will resolve themselves by this commitment and involvement. The Creator is not laughing at us, the Creative Intelligence is not sitting back and enjoying our misery, that’s not true. The Creative Intelligence is observing how we apply creative intelligence to resolve problems or trials, how we would draw on our creativity to surmount wrong choices, this is what gives us inner strength. 0:08 We would not know if this thing is strong enough if we never put it to the test. If you assume that I made this object according to the normal standard of melting the material down, shaping it, and putting it there and says “well now this is perfect, it will not deviate,” you have no guarantee until you put it to the test to see how strong this object will resist and when it does collapse you know the degree of strength in this object, then you will resolve it by fixing it again and giving it another opportunity. Equally true Creative Intelligence must test Its own creativeness within Its creation to see how much it can endure in its creativity and its commitment in order to give it liberation. This may sound very very sadistic, but it’s not sadistic, it’s the intended purpose. Perfection is achieved by trial, you can’t take the ore out of the ground and expect it would turn into gold immediately, you have to clean it up, you have to put it to fire, melt it down, and get the pure ore and then convert it into some piece of jewelry in order to use it. 0:10 Equally true the purity of this mechanism cannot just come out in the manifestation, be involved in levels of creation, and not lose its association with its source and expect it to return to the source completely free. You send your child to school, it doesn’t come back the same way it went out, it gets involved with other people, it takes up many impressions during the day, and when it returns it can confront you with questions and those very questions may not be the ones you might have asked your parents therefore you become very resentful to such questions. Equally true the Creative Intelligence, knowing fully well that He has placed His creative principle into us as Soul, must give us the freedom to go out into His creation and get involved in it and then turn around and rail at the Creator. Don’t we find ourselves doing that? Here we are down in the matter level, Matter acting on Matter, and we don’t have the total awareness anymore of our true nature, we can’t seem to remember what we are, we can’t seem to recall the source of our being, and our moments of frustration, restlessness, deep anxiety, bereavement, we turn around and rail. 0:12 We are in a state of Matter acting on Matter and we are railing at Beingness acting on Beingness and say “How dare you leave me down here, why don’t you lift me up, why don’t you do something?” But the Creative Intelligence has already placed within this structure its own salvation, the Creative Intelligence does not lift us out, It has given us creativity, It has given us free choice, It has given us the rules of coming down / going up back, it’s up to us to discover the model attitude. When we don’t have a model attitude then we are totally involved in our whirl of existence. Here comes the important aspect of involvement, the model attitude, whenever the Soul is caught up in the lowest aspects of life where Matter is acting on Matter and turns back and look at the Creative Source and wants to get home, it finds it difficult to do that. It may start experimenting, it may start crying out in prayer, it may start searching into psychic studies, still looking for the model attitude or the model behavior, then after a long series of agony or the darkness of the Soul or the night of the Soul as it is called, there comes an individual who is called God in Man, Master, a realized individual. 0:14 He in turn tells us at that level where we are caught that you don’t have a Soul, you are Soul, but in order to go back home to the source you need to follow a disciplined life, you need to have a model. So the term Emmanuel, meaning God in Man, and what the God in Man does is to give us a model of behavior. Now the model of behavior would be like the Beatitudes, attitudes of how to be. Remember we came down from Beingness acting on Beingness right down to Matter acting on Matter and between this eight levels we have fallen down by the wrong use of choice and have no model to go back up. We are floundering someway in the midpoint, we don’t seem to get any further than Energy acting on Energy and if we do get any further than that, it’s up to Consciousness acting on Energy which is as far as we get by our own efforts. Well here we see a peculiar parable having significance, the Prodigal Son. He was given his substance by the parent, he went out and the final end he ended up eating the food of the pig and that we would call Matter acting on Matter, the worst level possible that Man can arrive, slop in the form of food, material association. 0:16 Now the boy says to himself, “In my father’s house at least the servants eat better than I who grovel in this pigsty, I would go home and ask my father for a job. I don’t want to be accepted as his son, but I want to go back merely to serve my father as an employee, at least I’ll get three square meals a day, someplace to sleep.” So he turns around in consciousness. So we can say a Soul, endowed with the Creative Intelligence, has squandered the power of free choice and finds itself trapped in Matter acting on Matter, floundering in the senses. Now it comes to the senses to turn around and say “I want to return back to the Creative Source in order to live without making error by my choice. I’ve been making choices all through my physical life and they all turn out to be in error. They all seem to create dead-ends, repercussions, what I sow I reap. Here I’m involved with the total action and everything is turning out wrong. Lesson number one I’m eating my own words back, if I make a statement it turns around, I have to repeat the action.” Alright the prodigal son turns around and starts going home, on his way home the father notice someone coming up the highway and it is said in that parable the father met the boy halfway. 0:18 Now the father did not go out from his throne or his home to drag the boy out from the pigsty, he only met him halfway. It’s very important to understand that meaning of halfway, the Soul is never dragged out of a state of Matter acting on Matter by Divine Law, it must learn its own lesson of reconstructing its way back, but because it makes the turnaround, it will be met by the Creative Intelligence at the halfway mark. There we come now to the Master Consciousness, it is at the halfway mark we encounter the Master Consciousness. Now let us turn ourselves around and say Matter acting on Matter is the pigsty, we’re going back home now, the next step up is Energy acting on Matter, the next step up is Consciousness acting on Matter, the next step is Energy acting on Energy, that’s the fourth step up, that’s the halfway mark, Energy acting on Energy, then Consciousness acting on Energy. Beingness is having some compassion to come forward towards the halfway mark to greet the Soul, Consciousness is permeating, Beingness is getting the feeling to be concerned of seeing the Soul coming back. God only meets us halfway, He does not meet us the full way. Through this particular arrangement we need a God in Man, the God in Man is the Son or the Christ Intelligence. 0:20 This is why “none cometh unto the Father but by Me,” this is the reason the statement was made. Consciousness acting on Energy cannot go back now to Beingness unless it encounters Consciousness acting on Consciousness which is the sixth level up. This Consciousness acting on Consciousness is called in the ancient writings the Guru Consciousness, the Master Consciousness, or the Christ Consciousness, in scientific language it’s called the Intuitive Awareness consciousness. Here at this level choice is unerring, there is no failure in your involvement, whatever you do you can choose correctly for the first time, whatever you have done and made mistakes can now be corrected by making right choices because it’s extrasensory. You know without doubt how to choose in the levels of consciousness because in that state you are free, Consciousness acting on Consciousness, the Christ is working in that state in us. We are experiencing the Christ state, a state in which there is no error, “Unto the Son is given the power to forgive, the Father condemeth no man.” Beingness cannot condemn Soul, it’s not possible because Soul is already Being, but Consciousness would chastise Beingness at its lowest level. It takes Consciousness to resolve the mistakes of Being in the lower level. So Consciousness acting on Consciousness would correct this Being making mistakes due to the wrong use of choice. 0:22 We’re caught up in this involvement and we don’t understand why we are caught up in it, it is because we have come down by Divine desire, misused the principle of choice, find ourselves trapped in the lower levels of Matter acting on Matter, Energy acting on Matter, Consciousness acting on Matter, Energy acting on Energy, Consciousness acting on Energy, we are trapped, this is our involvement and the highest we can ever go by our own momentum is Consciousness acting on Energy, we are involved with time. In the Christ state there is no time, this is the first actual exposure to freedom, there is no involvement there, it is all love, below this state it’s involvement, it’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, as you sow that you reap, all the laws of karma are locked up up to that point, though the Soul itself has the brilliance of 9 million suns, it cannot penetrate beyond Consciousness acting on Consciousness by itself, it cannot penetrate the Christ intelligence by itself, it must have the guidance of a Christ intelligent individual to lift it up. When the Soul has achieved this state of awareness, then it will experience realization, but we need the model, we need an individual whose Soul is pure in heart, whose mere innocence, mere transformation is from animal mind into the God-mind to guide us. 0:24 We have to use the model behavior to mold us and lift us out from our commitments, our attachments, our desires of being trapped in these lower levels of creation. We don’t recognize it until we see the mistakes, how they occur from our thought patterns surrounding us, but as soon as we realize that and turn to that model then we can go back home. Now let us use the model of Jesus, the Beatitudes is a model of how to behave, the Lord’s Prayer is a model of how to live, all the various rules of looking inward are models of behavior, the God-man only tells us how to behave in order to be free from our involvement with the lower levels. Now in the Prodigal Son, the father or the Being-consciousness is meeting the boy at the halfway mark and he recognizes the boy as his son. Jesus said, “You see me, you see the Father,” a Christ-realized man is often regarded by the devotee or the soul or the student as the living Father of God, as the Lord made manifest, we regard the Master as a true God-father, a true God-parent. He alone can lift us up, He alone has the transcending grace that permeates the human form to dissolve the reactions and commitments of wrong thought, wrong behavior. 0:26 He alone can dissolve this, He alone can reach out and embrace us and accept us. Therefore the halfway mark is the meeting point, there Master consciousness or Consciousness acting on Consciousness or the Christ intelligence meets us, that’s why the statement is “None come unto the Father, but by Me.” Consciousness at its lowest level cannot enter total beingness at its highest level unless it encounters Consciousness acting on Consciousness, they have to meet at some point and resolve themselves. Now it says when the boy was taken home he was given the robe and the fatted calf and they had a banquet, well naturally once you enter Consciousness acting on Consciousness this is the full commitment of a Master and His involvement with you. He is supposed to bring you to this level where you are no longer in the realm of desire, everything is given now, you don’t pray, the boy did not pray for the mantle, the boy did not pray for the ring and the fatted calf, these were things given to the boy. The Soul has no more craving at Consciousness acting on Consciousness, there in that state the Divine power is bestowed upon the Soul, the power to crystallize thoughts at will, this is what the Christ intelligence embodies, the power to crystallize thoughts at will. Now think for one moment, you are in the possession of such a power, you don’t need anything else in this universe except that one gift, do you see that miracles are mere byproducts of the mind when you are in possession of the power to crystallize thought? 0:28 This is given to you without craving at the state of Consciousness acting on Consciousness which is called the Christ Consciousness, this power is transferred to you by Divine Law or Divine Grace. Now comes the other level up, they say there was another brother who remained at home and became envious of the one that returned home and questioned the father. There is a level between Consciousness acting on Consciousness and Beingness acting on Beingness, the level in between is called Beingness acting on Consciousness. In that state there is a degree of awareness that remains in the Divine Consciousness never going out, it’s called the Ascended state. This brother was told, “you’ve been with me, you’ve never asked, everything was yours.” Beingness acting on Consciousness, that is part of the creative forcefield, Beingness, and Consciousness is a part of the outward forcefield and the Creator being Beingness acting on Beingness, therefore the level down which is the son that remained home, is partaking of the father’s fortune without question, that is Beingness. Now when the return of the Soul comes back, Consciousness acting on Consciousness is confronting it, the Consciousness that is being acted upon by Beingness begins to question. Do you follow me so far? 0:30 The highest level is called Beingness acting on Beingness, these two words are the same, this is Divine Intelligence all the time. The next level down is Beingness acting on Consciousness, these are two different words. The third level down is Consciousness acting on Consciousness, two identical words. So we have the third and the first being identical in names, only the middle one is split, one is Beingness and one is Consciousness, one part of it is God, one part of it is involvement with God, outside of God, that’s the conscious part because it has to relate consciously, mind. So he says the second brother or the first brother, the eldest brother because it’s closest to the father, is questioning the father now, he’s using his mind, “why you do this for this other child, why don’t you do it for me?” Because the one further down is only Consciousness acting on Consciousness, the Christ Intelligence part is Consciousness acting on Consciousness, that is the active state in which the Master lives in the physical world, that you see the living Master, He’s in a state called Consciousness acting on Consciousness. When He ascends, He’s part God and part physical consciousness, that is to say it’s possible to see the Master Jesus with His physical body as a resurrected mechanism, that’s consciousness which your consciousness can recognize. He being God, manifest, pure, that is He is Beingness too, you can touch His manifested body, you can touch His resurrected body and realize it’s not an illusion of mind because it has both qualities, it has the permanency of God which is Being and it has the communicative quality of consciousness which requires your mind to recognize it. 0:32 Now this state is a state that is challenging the Father consciousness, “why do you do these things for only Consciousness acting on Consciousness,” and the Father is saying, Beingness saying to Beingness now, Beingness acting on Beingness is saying to Beingness saying to Consciousness, “you have been with me, you have never asked” because in such close proximity, these two states are in close proximity with each other, there is no need to ask. Now if one child stays home in your house and never questions why he cannot go into the refrigerator to take out what he needs, you don’t put a padlock on the refrigerator. So he’s hungry, he goes into the refrigerator, takes what he needs, he accepts this is his home, he doesn’t question, this is his (inaudible) behavior. The other brother went away and the other brother is returning now and he arrives and he’s just being dressed up a little, therefore there’s a banquet coming on. The one who remains at home who has everything, who never had no friends to go out to, to get involved doesn’t ask, but here is one who has been away and now everything has been given to him, the question of envy will come up. But it’s not a matter of envy, it’s a matter of involvement, the one that remained home never got involved. The Ascended state of God is a non-involved state, the Consciousness acting on Consciousness or the Christ state is a state of involvement, it’s a state that (inaudible) compassion to come out and meet you and try to lift you up, to lift you up to an ascended state. 0:34 The Christ state must lift you up from your problem, from your low levels of consciousness to a higher state and in so doing, it becomes involved, in so doing its mechanics, its body, is subjected to involvement. Now we can’t run away from involvement, let’s see how we can’t run away from it. Jesus is a realized Master of pure Beingness coming down from Beingness into Consciousness and having compassion and this Consciousness acting on Consciousness, these two are here. He must now accept a human body so He comes all the way down right to where Matter is acting on Matter, but the problem is this, He does not lose the association of His memory that He is Soul, that He is God-realized, this He does not lose, this He does not forget. Though He’s born a baby under unusual circumstances, He still retains this link back to the true Source. Now many of us are born and these are the ways we are born, being born without no memory of our past life. How many of us are being born now with a memory of past life, you see we haven’t even advanced anywhere yet because the four births are here. The Soul takes birth into physical life having no memory of past life, that’s the lowest form of birth, no memory of past life. Then born with memory of past life, there is some degree of retaining one’s memory patterns. 0:36 Then immaculate birth or immaculate conception or extrasensory insemination where total memory of all past lives, true nature of God, is maintained. And the fourth is direct materialization, fully 21 years of age, doesn’t need a physical body to come forth and walks into the universe, these are the four stages of birth. Now there are four stages of death, to die and decompose after you die, to die and not to decompose after you die, to die and resurrect your body and take it with you, and fourth to dematerialize your body at will and take it with you without dying. In your scriptures they have all, in all the world’s scriptures you’ll find these four births and these four deaths, it is nothing new, it is that the reality of our existence is involved in these four levels and the Christ-man comes down with this quality retained in His nature to lift us up, He becomes the model. Now whatever (inaudible) He gives, He’s giving it from the intuitive level, He’s not giving it from the sensory level. From the intuitive level He tells us we should do and what we should not do, in that way we’ll start pruning back the conditions that keep us trapped by the desires we’re generating. We are involved with life due to our desires and Jesus came down, all great Masters of the East come down, to be involved in life, but they are not bound by any karmic law because they act out the model behavior of loving their neighbor as themselves and loving the Lord with all their mind, heart, and soul. 0:38 Now when we don’t do that then we become trapped, a Master is not trapped in the lower levels of consciousness. He’s the only individual who can get out of the lower levels of consciousness by remembering one basic truth, “He that doeth the will of the Lord is My brother and My sister and he that followeth in My word is My disciple.” Following in the footsteps of a Master and His words binds you to Him and then He brings you up to where you become Christ conscious. Now Jesus has to do this to His disciples, He has to raise them up by binding them to certain disciplines, bringing them to Matter acting on Matter which they’re not involved with, they got trapped in it, raising them to the next level of Energy acting on Matter, raising them to the next level of Consciousness acting on Matter, raising them up to Energy acting on Matter, and raising them up to Consciousness acting on Energy, and finally up to Consciousness acting on Consciousness, and these are His words of how He raised them up, “If you follow in My words, you are My disciple, but I no longer call you My disciples…” He brought them to the apex now of how far they can go with Him, “…but My friends and call no man Master save the Lord which is in thee.” He has raised the Soul from Matter acting on Matter right up to Consciousness acting on Consciousness, they are equal now. 0:40 A friend is on an equal base, the recognition of God in each one of us is an equal statement, and we are interlocking for the first time and each man is then committed to act out the will of the Lord, each one of us now becomes a brother in the Divine Consciousness. Then we go back home into the next level up Beingness acting on Consciousness, we ascend, we can’t ascend until we enter the Christ state, not the man Jesus, the true Christ state of Consciousness acting on Consciousness. We have to arrive at the state of Divine Oneness through this eternal brotherhood, through this freedom, through this detachment, and it takes a model of consciousness with a model behavior to free us from our involvement, to bring us to that point. We are trapped in our environment only because of three basic things: choice which we abused, wrong use of the will, and desire. Now these three things trigger everything you know as karma. There would be no karma if there was no wrong use of choice, disobedience to the Divine Will, and un-fulfillment of the Divine Desire. 0:42 Now Jesus tells us what is the Divine Desire? The Divine Desire is “Man ought to be perfect even as his Father which is in heaven is perfect,” this is your Divine Desire. We detain or hold back the Divine Principle of perfection by avoidance, we ourselves block it out. Now we can hide behind a great deal of mental excuses because the mind is very very prone to make excuses for Beingness. Beingness is the most peculiar force in you, not too many of us are involved with It yet because we don’t know what it is we’re feeling in Beingness, you sense you do exist, you sense that your existence is eternal, but if you’re afraid of your existence if you die. You’re afraid that something is going to be lost in you if you die and the strange thing is when you go to sleep, you don’t know if you’re a man or a woman. Think of it, when you’re sound asleep if you know beyond all reasonable doubt that you’re a man or a woman. Yet in your dream you either dream that you’re a man or a woman because of identifications and sometimes it puzzles you why you should be dreaming you’re a woman in a dream or dreaming you’re a man in a dream and yet when you wake up, you’re happy to find you’re still a man or a woman, yet in a state of dream or a state of sleep there is no memory of you being man or woman. What has happened to you in consciousness, where have you gone in consciousness? Now if you never woke up in that state, that terminates your physical existence and since it terminates your physical existence, you don’t have no continuity of memory, you must reincarnate. It’s that obvious, it’s that simple. 0:44 Since we can’t recall who we are and what commitments we’ve made to get involved in our lives in a physical world, in sleep we are given an opportunity to make restitution before we actually die when this mechanism is shutoff and must face the reality of its commitment. Here we are, unaware of who we are when we are sound asleep, then all of a sudden caught up in the reality that you can’t wake up. A person can get into an accident and go into a coma or a state of unconsciousness, he doesn’t remember that this body, what has happened to it, yet before he went into the state of unconsciousness, there has to be some desire in his mind. Let’s say you’re driving down the highway and your desire was to go and bank that hundred dollars before the check that you issued bounced, you realize what a predicament your mind is? All of a sudden, smash, you have an accident and can’t wake up and then don’t know what is the outcome? You’ve died in that state or you’re in a state of unconsciousness with this particular desire to be at the bank to make the deposit before the check bounces, this is left in your consciousness. Alright, it’s in your consciousness, you’re in an unconscious state in the hospital, all your loved ones are there. They may find the check and go ahead and deposit it, but that doesn’t relieve the mind of the desire, you’re trapped and involved in it, you can’t get out of it. There is no human being here who’s going to extract your soul force and say “Ok brother, I will now sponsor you in the Divine Principle and free your mind from this desire and let you go on or bring you back to a state of awareness, free from this desire relationship.” 0:46 It takes a Master consciousness to implant this in your mind, to free you from it. Now if you don’t wake up, they bury you and the electrical nature of your mechanism carries this last desire, “that I failed to be at the bank to make the deposit.” Alright, this life principle is carrying this last desire plus a whole host of desires that are incomplete, suddenly consciousness is reactivated into a physical mechanism for you to remember, but it turns out that you remember all of a sudden now in an eight and a half pound body, you might be a caucasian and suddenly find yourself now an American Indian and you’re out on some reservation and some midwife is doing the delivery. The shock is not because the doctor smacked you and make you cry to tell the world that you’re alive, the great shock is that you’ve got a body that can’t fulfill its commitments, you’re going to cry, you have been cheated. What a horrible shock to be cheated of fulfilling your desire in your six foot body, 180 pounds, now to find the commitment sapped and conditioned down to an eight pound body, twelve and a half inches, waiting to live out 21 years to go and catch up with that thought, the whole mind is in turmoil. Now this is dealing on the level where death occurs, let’s deal with it where it is possible to modify this in consciousness. 0:48 Here you were in a accident, you’re unconscious and during the unconscious state you remember that you must fulfill that desire of putting that money in the bank so that the check does not bounce. You’re in a state of unconsciousness for several days, yet when you open your eyes, to you it doesn’t seem like days, it seems like hours of lapse of time in your consciousness. Everyone around you says you were out unconscious for six-seven days, they almost give you up several times, but the doctors were very patient and they work with you to keep you alive and you came back. Now your mind is happy, number one, that you got your six foot body, 180 pounds, but then you have the tremendous shock to go through to make sure that money doesn’t bounce, that check won’t bounce, you see how the desire predominates (inaudible). Although you’re happy to be alive, you’re happy to know you’re still here intact in your own physical frame, you’re going to generate a desire to make sure and ask, “What happened to my check” and you start searching for it. Consciousness is going to generate desire right there because you don’t release it. Since you did not release it in an unconscious state and coming back in your own physical frame to re-experience the commitment or the involvement, fear starts building up again, the desire is so strong to generate this fear. Now what is worse is not to wake up in your six foot body, 180 pounds, but to wake up now in an 8 pound body in some remote region of the world, looking for a commitment and still carrying the longing inside. You see what happens? 0:50 Now how do we free ourselves, this has to be free, otherwise we have this vicious cycle called reincarnation because we have an involvement of commitment and may we have to correct it, we have to resolve it, how is it resolved? Your loved ones may find you and they may have a concern, take the check, take it to the bank, deposit it, freeing you, but it does not free you internally in the terms of the desire mechanism. They may complete the action in proxy for you, but they do not complete the action in the desire relationship to you. It takes a realized person now to enter your consciousness and raise you to the point where you can see this correction and that is what the Christ Intelligence does for us. The Christ Intelligence in a realized individual becomes present in that state when we are dying and can no longer function in this physical frame, we go through the last groan and movement and there can be an expression of joy in the face even in the person who is unconscious because there we can generate the consciousness to lock in to your consciousness and release you of the desire. Now a person is dying with this tremendous desire and let’s say there’s one person in the room who understands the principle and goes over to the dying man, or the unconscious man, and repeats in the ear of the man, the right ear, that “the check did not bounce and everything is ok and the Christ in me loves the Christ in you.” That desire mechanism is suddenly corrected inside and that unconscious person will either groan, make a sigh, or quiver, and pass on. 0:52 Now doctors are getting more conscious there are certain peculiarities of death, they are even allowing the loved ones to very close at the last minute. It is this we can help the individual to pass over in consciousness, otherwise that consciousness is still trapped and must come back in some agony state to work out. Now if we can recognize this, we can elevate the consciousness and keep it in that higher state. Now the Christ Consciousness in you is Consciousness acting on Consciousness, you may say to yourself, “I don’t have the ability to be Christ Conscious, I don’t know what Christ Consciousness is. I don’t think I can do this. Why should I do this to some person and kid myself?” Well let’s go to the Master model, what does He say? He says this in His own words, “When two or three are gathered in My name there am I in their midst and the things I do you do also and greater things shall you do.” Then how come can you say to yourself you don’t have the right to do it? Because it’s too simple a remedy for such as complicated process that makes us feel inadequate, do you see it? The action is too simple, you can’t accept such a simple way to free you from all this total involvement. Yet if you can accept it, you can be freed and you can lift up the next individual. 0:54 Your own Christ Consciousness will come into focus and pull it up and you don’t have to reason why or wonder why what is occurring on the inside, it’s the Christ Intelligence that does it, but you have fulfilled your part of the contract of gathering in the name of the Consciousness acting on Consciousness and carrying over the thought relationship between you and the person that is involved. Equally true when you pray for someone who is ill, only in that state you have the Christ Consciousness working on you and on the other individual and freeing you from an involvement and the involvement is cutting the desire threads so that you don’t have to repeat them over again. Now Jesus said, “To him that overcometh I will not send forth a second time, but I’ll make him a pillar in the house of my Lord.” If we gather in this Christ Intelligence state and help the individual in that low emotional tone or mental tone to raise his Christ Intelligence state up by merely hearing it, he would not have to repeat that a second time. In other words, here you’re dying in a conscious state and someone tells you “The Christ in them loves the Christ in you, do not worry, the bill is paid, you have nothing to fear.” Then you in turn hearing this inside, though every other function appears not to respond, the only thing that will keep responding is the sound of hearing. 0:56 If you’re in doubt, and now I’m telling you this from personal experience. When I was in the hospital after 54 compound fracture fall, I’m on my back and the doctors are saying, “If he doesn’t live now, he’ll never live.” The moment they said “If he doesn’t live now, he’ll never live,” everything start shutting down faster, I couldn’t feel my hands, I could not feel my feet, yet I could still hear their voice and one says “Uh oh, he’s gone too far.” Every time they said something negative I got weaker, then a nurse said “well he’s showing some movement, he must have life in him,” my energy came back stronger. I learned from being in that state that the very thoughts outside were killing me quicker than my desire to be dead inside myself and the only way I could get out from being trapped by their negative thinking was to shout, “Who the hell is dying!” (laughter), and in so doing I exerted the will, I couldn’t see myself being used as carrion for some (inaudible), I shook out the pauper in my consciousness and shouted out with some vehemence to create energy to move. Having moved the body my eyes opened up and I saw the room, I realize I was still alive and then the doctors said, “Well I guess he ain’t gonna die now” (laughter), now that made more energy flow into me. Now had they used the right terms or the right ideas in my state in which the body was hurt, they could have pulled me out quicker, but they did not. In fact, the constant bickering between themselves kept me in a conquered state, I could not make decisions inside because it was not possible in this conquered state, I became over-involved in weakness or over-involved in strength. 0:58 Now if the doctors were saying “he’s showing signs of progress, he should be coming out of it now,” automatically my body would made the effort to move forward from within, the energy would start to flow in more. So we find that if we are involved with some loved one who is ill or knowing what their basic problems were before they got into the hospital, is to find out from them what is their desire, what is it they’re holding onto, not to let them die with these desires in their consciousness. Though they’re ill and there is no hope, do not impress on the mind that there is no hope, find out what desires they have, resolve those desires for them by giving them the encouragement to break them free and this will help them to rise into that Christ state. We can help the individual in these critical moments to break through the desire levels of consciousness acting on the energy. Why? Their consciousness acting on my energy got weaker every time they said something negative, you see it, and it got stronger every time they said something positive, but it never acted on my consciousness because they never used their right consciousness to pull me out from my desire state. Had they said, “Well the Christ in us love the Christ in you and you will be alright,” the two consciousness reacting I would have opened my eyes and moved on in a pure conscious state, but they did not. Realizing that they did not understand the mechanics inside, they were actually killing me quicker. With their best intentions, we are dying in our hospitals at a fast rate, we’re actually killing our loved ones by negative thought patterns in the room. 1:00 Even when a person is ill and you start feeling mournful and sorrowful for that person, we are in a sense dropping down their energy ratio. Now once we understand what we are doing, there’s no magic, it’s no miracle, it is full use of the divine principle in us. We are Soul, we are the direct image of the Creative Principle, and we must employ these rules if we want to realize the Creator in the body. There is no magic, there is no miracles, but there is the eternal love, order, and commitment. It takes great love to feel commitment to another individual in this state of illness to tell them, “The Christ in me loves the Christ in you, you can pull it through.” It takes great commitment for Jesus to come down and say “Father remove this cup, but not My will but Thy will be done,” these are the involvements. We’re caught up with karma, we’re caught up with the various wrong desires, misuse of the choice, will, misuse of many things but anyway we can still correct it if we accept the involvement. We should not run from anything, we should confront it, the more you confront it, the quicker you dissolve it, when you run from it the longer it takes to dissolve and then it gets weaker and weaker, you’re not able to control it no more, it’s gone out of your range of experience. Finally involvement comes from self chosen seclusion, this is an unusual statement, self chosen seclusion is essential for the Soul to gather momentum in a state of turmoil. 1:02 There are periods in your life where you have to go into a corner or some area to calm your mind, to take full stock of what you are involved with and reevaluate, and during that period you get some sense of direction. Now once you reevaluate what you are doing and you get some sense of direction, you are forced to make a decision and that’s what Jesus meant when He said, “You can’t be for Me or for Mammon,” you have to make a decision (gap in tape)… it helps you to lift yourself away from the lower levels and surrender to the higher consciousness or intuitive level, you allow the Christ principle to filter into you. Jesus went away from the crowd you know, whenever He was bogged down by the people, He took off and went to the seashore. Although He was committed with Man and although He helped them, although He came to areas where he couldn’t even help them He said, “with these people I can do nothing,” even then He still took off and found a period of self chosen seclusion to reevaluate Himself. Once we are involved, we all need some moment of withdrawal to reevaluate and we are involved with living, we’re involved with Matter acting on Matter, we’re involved with Energy acting on Matter, we’re involved with Consciousness acting on Matter, we’re involved with Energy acting on Energy, we’re involved with Consciousness acting on Energy, up to this point we are involved and then we withdraw to reevaluate that Consciousness is acting on our Consciousness for the first time, we are experiencing a contact with the Christ in us. 1:04 So don’t be afraid to feel involved with life, the more you face it, the quicker you will arrive at the Christ state. The Christ state demands involvement, therefore He says “Pick up your cross and follow Me,” that’s an involvement. “Take My yoke upon you for it is light,” that’s an involvement. Any time we take on something upon ourselves or commit ourselves to an involvement, we will have the Christ consciousness acting through us right away and the first experience of this deliverance is that you begin to feel that you are in a fatigue-less state, your body seems to have untold energy, the (inaudible) of the mind begins to open up, you begin to feel extrasensory in your consciousness. These are the first experiences that start to precipitate down as you start to accept the Christ intelligence in you. Consciousness starts to work on you now, before you know it this whole body starts the purification and the evidence is the peace that stays with you, you are now going through a transforming effect and tranquility, serenity, harmony, begins to manifest. These are the outward symptoms or conditions that begin to appear when we take stock of ourselves. 1:06 So do not be afraid of the involvement, we are involved, we came out of the Creative Intelligence to fulfill the Creative Desire, we made mistakes, we want to correct them, we should not feel despondent because things didn’t go the way they ought to go. Now we’re correcting it by trying to align our consciousness with Divine Will. Divine Will can best be understood in the light of involvement in this way: you may say, “How do I know I am doing Divine Will? How do I know that this is my action and it’s not my ego and it’s not Divine Will.” Well Divine Will can be best experienced as you are always at the right place, at the right time, for the right experience. No experience is good or bad, but an opportunity to test your behavior, this is Divine Will in action. I’ll repeat it, Divine Will is to recognize you are at the right place at this very instant in time, this very moment in time, the right place, the right time, the right experience, a confrontation, and is an opportunity to test your attitude that this confrontation or experience is neither good nor bad, it’s strictly an opportunity to test your attitude. 1:08 So every moment of life is Divine Will under those particular set of rules. Once you recognize it and you apply it, you will see that you are vibrating or responding to the Divine Will and there is no confusion in the mind as to the acting outside of Divine Will, you will not have this conflict in mind that “I do not know that I am performing Divine Will,” you do not have the conflict of making a decision. Anytime something presents itself as an experience, and whatever place it presents itself, that is the Divine Will to recognize it and to test the attitude at that very moment and how you respond to it. Now if you accept it and accept the involvement, miracles begin to happen, some people say “everything seems to fall into place as if God has prearranged it all for you” and it’s a wonderful arrangement, it becomes easier for you to work it or to experience it. So Divine Will is being in the right place, or recognizing it as the right place, it’s the right time, the experience is perfect, neither good nor bad, it’s an opportunity to test your behavior. Under those circumstances you are always free and you do not have the repercussion of being involved, you will not be afraid to be involved, for the first time you can take on the responsibility of being involved. If you can accept that wherever you are, you are at the right place, it’s the right time, and the experience is correct for you and that it is neither good nor bad to be involved with it, then you have no mental illusions going on, no doubts, no fears, no repercussions from desire, because it is testing your behavior and there’s only one way to behave and that is to love. Thank you. (Applause). Audience: Now I mentioned earlier that when I listen to him speak I have different experiences and I was just listening to him speak and I thought that he was talking about involvement, I said “well, darn I want to get out there and be involved now.” We will have about a five minute break and then come back and Adano will answer some questions. (Gap in tape). 1:11 Audience: Once again I’d like to introduce Swami Adano Ley and have some questions and answers. Adano: Yes? Audience: You talked about all the different levels of consciousness that we can attain, how does Man know that he is slipping from one level to the next, raising up? Adano: Alright, the first level up is Energy acting on Matter. Now in the outer world the first recognition is the properties of matter when the mind begins to recognize that matter has certain internal properties like electrical waves, radio waves, this is in the realm of energy. In the human being, when you start to shutdown in meditation, the first sensation you feel is a tingling sensation in the body and this is indication that life is flowing through you. Now meditation is not transmission, it’s reception, prayer is transmission, prayer is Man’s SOS to the Creative Intelligence for help, meditation is Man’s attunement to the Creative Intelligence to look at creation as it really is. For instance when you turn on the TV set, you are receiving, you don’t tell the broadcasting people how to run their program, you don’t know what the program is, you just turn it on and receive. When you close down inside with your eyes, God is the creative light here in the brain. Now Jesus said, “When the eyes are single” or that means when the eyes are focused to the point between the eyebrows, “the whole body is full of light,” you are on the receptive end. 1:13 Now you’re bound to see light if you watch inside after awhile, there is a light. Now He goes on to tell you, “the light is shining in the darkness.” In the brain there is light shining there, if you are in doubt all you have to do is hit your head and see if the stars don’t come out, just bump it and you’ll see light. Then you ask yourself, “what is this light doing here,” but then you pay no attention to it, then we can go around in language and try to explain it away, but He says, “the light is shining in the darkness and the darkness comprehends it not.” You can explain it away because you don’t understand it, you don’t comprehend it, you don’t know the reason for its existence. Science will come along someday and says, “Well it exists because you’re energy, you’re matter, and energy is light,” so big deal, what is it? But then He goes on to say, “let your light so shine before Men that they may see your good works and glorify the Father which is in Me.” Now this is the experience that comes now, it takes a great deal of attunement to that light to unfold so you not only see the light, you feel it now, an electrical wave, and “let your light so shine before Men that they may see the good works” that means your mind now has to focus inside. So Consciousness acting on Matter is there now, consciousness acting, you’re starting to focus this light up in your being. As it radiates out of your being now it begins to affect objects, it affects creatures as a form of peace, as a wave of heat, or a cooling sensation, then the cells begin to glow, people notice there’s a change in you, you seem to look younger, fresh, more at ease with yourself, these are the outward changes that are occurring in that consciousness. 1:15 Then the next level up is Energy acting on Energy. Here in this state you begin to draw from the atmosphere into your body energy that recharges you. Now Jesus said in His work, “Come unto Me all ye that travail and are heavily laden and I will refresh you,” which really means drawing on the pure life energy around you into the focal point of the brain and refreshing your body. You have to be able to draw this energy from the atmosphere, you draw it in the body in the form of breathing, but that’s only a certain amount of energy that you’re getting in in the form of oxygen, but when you’re drawing this energy directly into the medulla and that’s the only area they cannot operate on because you would be dead instantly, you have to be able to sensitize that area by consciousness and feel the energy impinging on that area and then the energy impinges in that area, you are drawing it in directly and then there comes a change in your body you don’t want to eat, you seem to have more vitality, more aliveness, and this is the energy recycling itself now, it’s rejuvenating, it’s refreshing, revitalizing. So “freshen up with 7-Up,” and then freshen up with vital consciousness you see. For the first time energy is acting on energy, this is the first experience we begin to experience. 1:17 Then in the throat, you will have the saliva tasting like honey which is called nectar, it starts descending from the top part of the brain and the taste of it passes through the whole body like nectar or the taste of honey and there is a tingling sensation, this occurs in that state of awareness. Now you go on to Consciousness acting on Energy where you have the ability now to move physical objects with your consciousness, all around you physical objects will respond, animals respond, nature responds. At that level the time cycles responds to you, in the very first experiences that you can actually see a cloud and concentrate and pop it, you can have a cloudless sky and chant and rain will fall so the American Indians have been applying Consciousness acting on Energy a long time. They do their rain chant and those who’ve been (inaudible) have seen some demonstration of the rain chant because it is Consciousness acting on Energy. Now as you leave that state and enter Consciousness acting Consciousness, you are suddenly in possession of the power to materialize desire or thought at will, the power to materialize the desire or thought at will. Now not your desire because your desire ends at the level below, your desire may end right at Consciousness acting on Energy, but where Consciousness is acting on Consciousness, you are free from desire, you don’t have personal desires no more. Buddha says you must be desireless and Christ says the same thing, you must be identified with the Father, the Father only has one desire, His desire for perfection, that creation is perfected. In that state you don’t have personal desires, you have the power to crystallize other people’s desires. 1:19 Now people that came to Jesus when He came down from the mountain, the first exposure of His desire-less state was when He was sitting in the wedding, you remember the wedding, that story? Here He’s sitting down as a guest at the wedding, having no desires, He’s in the Christ state. The mother comes to Him and says, “Son there is no wine” and He replies “Woman what is that to Me, My time has not yet come.” You realize right away that if He exerted ego to satisfy His own desire pattern, He would still be exerting a time consciousness but telling her, “My time has not yet come” meaning that He now has to wait on the timeless state to trigger off within His consciousness the exact relationship of the desire of their needs so that it will crystallize to them. The mother then goes on to trigger the desire of nature, she turns to the servant and says, “Do what he tells you.” Remember whose desire in the first place, her kinsfolk having no wine, her desire to say, “Here’s my son the doctor, my son the magic man, my son the Master, come see Him, He pulled off one big fat trick tonight.” She was a great barker you know, in her consciousness. It’s only natural for a mother’s desire to see her son do something constructive, she senses it. Her craving is strong, she wants to see her son do something to impress, He wants the teach her a lesson that it’s no impression in consciousness, there is no magic going on, it’s strictly love of God. 1:21 Now she turns around and tells the servants, “Do what He tells you” and goes off, so the atmosphere is set with the desire. These people were drunk already with wine and now lack of wine she’s asking for more. If He has a desire, He would be the first person to bring wine there, having no desire He is going to satisfy the mother’s wish that He doesn’t let her down before her kinsfolk, but then He’s going to admonish her at the same time of the right use of the law and He’s going to leave the room after He’s finished because He is not out to impress no one. So when they brought, the servants came to Him, He turned to them and said, “fill the jugs.” It’s the mother’s desire, the kinsfolk desire all being crystallized now by His consciousness. The servants just acted it out and took it and they gave it to the governor of the place and the governor made a comment for the bridegroom, “Why did He keep the good wine for now when everybody drinks good wine at the start of the wedding and the bad one you can slip in and nobody will notice it because they’re all drunk. Here you give us all the lousy wine and now here is the good one coming in.” But new wine it is not fermented wine, one of the mysteries of it, fermented wine is called old wine, new wine is grape juice. Now in Israel today they ship something called new wine for this country, it looks like wine, it smells like wine, it tastes like wine, but it ain’t wine, it has no alcoholic content, it is pure grape juice. And you can buy it from your import house when it comes to this country now it’s called new wine. 1:23 Jesus just fulfilled their conscious desire for wine but He didn’t fulfill what type of wine they wanted, he just gave them that feeling in it. Now He got up and left, in that state the Christ Conscious state is working. Now the other states, let us try to get to this state first, when you get to this state the other states are easy to understand, the other states you wouldn’t understand them on a physical relationship because the subtleness of it, it requires extra sensory awareness to understand this, the other states, and unless the extrasensory nature is open to see the chakras inside, which are the seven golden candlesticks mentioned in the Book of Revelation, you cannot understand the other two states that is Beingness acting on Consciousness and Beingness acting on Beingness, this has to be open, inner eye has to be open to see that. Now we as human beings can bring ourselves up to the Christ state or the Master state, we must attain Masterhood, we have to obtain this state, “None come unto the Father, but by Me.” We all have to come to that state of development then from that state inward it is God Himself, the Creative Intelligence that pulls us up, we have a physical lift from the body itself and you may find yourself lifting off the ground going through these states or you may see internally how the electrical structure is developed and you go into what is called rapture or liberation but this is internal, one can’t see this on a physical level, one has to see it in the extrasensory level. 1:25 Now you may see something around the individual while He’s speaking, you can see the aura, you can see the radiance, you can even see the Archangels around that person, these are all levels of the Christ state, you see that, but until we get to that state we can’t discuss the aura in terms of tangible observation, there is no way to do that. When you’re in the Christ state it’s not the miracle that we’re looking for or the mere fact that you can crystallize desires at will, the greatest power of the Christ state is the peace. Remember the Christ state is the state of “the peace I give the world do not give.” When you feel this inner peace coming through you and it remains with you 24 hours a day and there is no internal conflict, you have arrived. The evidence of having arrived at the Christ state is when you can retain the state of peace 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, you have arrived and the other virtue or gift would be to crystallize thoughts at will, these are the outward symptoms. Now coming up again, Energy acting on Matter, which is the first experience of meditation, to feel this energy you begin to feel the body tingling also you find that you don’t crave solids and liquids as much and the body seems to be less fatigued, less tense, these are the outward symptoms of the change. Inner wisdom starts to permeate you, a surety of consciousness permeates you. Consciousness acting on Matter, you have some inner integrity, some transformation of an ethical awareness. 1:27 This begins to occur in you because the ethical life has to develop prior to arriving at Consciousness acting Consciousness, you cannot be unethical in the Christ state, there is no way for you to be that. You can be unethical up to Consciousness acting on Energy but you can’t be unethical where Consciousness is acting on Consciousness. Every unethical condition ends at Consciousness acting on Energy because you’re still involved with time. Now when you get out of time and your consciousness is perceiving pure consciousness, there is no unethical nature there, your ten commandments become the bedrock of your existence. So Jesus did not come to condemn, He came to fulfill and the whole basis of the ethical life is based upon the new commandment He gave, loving the Lord with all your mind, heart, and Soul and your neighbor as yourself. This is the result of a long evaluation of ethical living that brings you into Consciousness acting on Consciousness, so it acts like a cushion to you then you are able to recognize what is happening. And don’t judge your spiritual growth by miracles because “what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his Soul.” You can’t judge your spiritual development by miracles, you judge your spiritual development by the length of time that the peace remains with you in a conscious state of having immersed in your Christ life, how it remains with you in a conscious state, how you get up and work with your fellow man, how long this peace when it can remain if you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, you have arrived in that state, that peace is permanent now. It’s the peace that passes all understanding, it’s an end result of the integration of your ethical life. 1:29 The ethical life is very important to make this internal transformation. Audience: How rare is it to meet people that have arrived at the point of consciousness that can carry this through seven days a week, 365 days in a year. Adano: Those people do exist. Audience: I know they do but I mean really is it as rare as we seem to believe on the whole? Are there more and more of these people today? Adano: Yes there are more and more of these people today but let’s look at our hand, you know there’s something unusual about it, where the four fingers are and where the thumb is? A Christ Realized man is like a thumb on the hand of society, the non-Christ realized individual are like the four fingers of society, they huddle together because they are afraid. The thumb is separate and stands alone because it’s acting as Divine Consciousness. The four fingers acting as society may feel very strong and important but it’s very weak until you take the thumb which is a God-Man and give it importance. This is not a strong movement, it takes the whole thing, the whole society as one, this is why the God-Man is important. 1:31 Now in this position we have strength in unity, in this position we have destruction because you can snap the thumb, you see. You can break the thumb this way, off, with the four fingers around it but this way you can’t. It’s a rare individual yes, but an important individual to society as a whole because you see the spectrum of the power permeates society, it takes one to change society. So every day one individual is gradually rising to that state and affecting society, he does not have to come out into society to tell us that he is there, we can sense it and we can know it because wherever he goes he’s bringing this peace and when you feel peace and you feel animals and other human beings responding to your peace, you are like that, holding the bond. Now you are the light of the world while you’re in the world because you have the peace that permeates you and that is what the Christ Realized person is, He is an individual that has peace permeating Him and He radiates, plants respond, animals respond, the weather responds, human beings respond and it’s not quantity, remember Jesus only had one individual in the last minute, all the rest ran away you know. Though there were many people around Him and many people who vowed not to run from Him, when it came to the final showdown who was there? Quantity has nothing to do, it’s an inner quality that has to do with the relationship between a Christ-realized individual. Once you meet the individual and feel that interlocking peace, you know what Christ Consciousness is because your own Christ Consciousness will start rising. 1:33 You will start to feel it, it’s the peace. Audience: Does the soul leave the body at different times in different bodies? How long does the soul linger before it leaves the body when you die? Audience: Man is Soul, he doesn’t have a soul. The chemical form breaks down, the electrical or astral form and the causal or ideational form remains. Now the length between the electrical form and the chemical form is a matter of 72 hours before the (inaudible). You don’t have a soul, you are Soul, you are a composite of three things. Audience: You said that Christ meets us halfway, but it seems like there are some people who are really at the gutter of life and it seems like they come face to face with Jesus Christ and all of a sudden, wham, it makes them changed people. Adano: Nobody is changed, they have to make a decision inside. I know of a man, this is a young man who took drugs, he killed, performer rape, and did many things, he was put in isolation in Canada. He was locked up and in that very dungeon he had to come to a soul searching reevaluation of himself, it was superimposed seclusion. That was not self-chosen seclusion, he didn’t choose to put himself there, it was imposed upon his consciousness by society to put him in a dungeon and within that dungeon in isolation and in those moments of isolation he decided to pray. 1:35 Now if he doesn’t decide to pray he can’t make the adjustment, he has to make the decision because Jesus cannot or the Christ intelligence cannot force itself upon us, there must be some mental acceptance or adjustment. So when he did decide to pray and he was in isolation for nearly 21 days, all he was left in that isolation room was his jock strap because anything else he would hang himself, they would be afraid he would commit suicide. So he was only in his shorts and his food was pushed into him on a paddle and it was put on a paper plate so he wouldn’t kill himself and all his meal was water and hard bread, but he was in this room for 21 days and he prayed for forgiveness and in the end of the 20th day he saw a light as if the whole sun was coming into the room and in this light he heard a voice saying, “none come unto the Father but by Me” and then he saw Jesus standing and he was praying to Jesus, he was a good Christian and he kept praying and he began to cry and he pledged, he says “if I can only get out of this place I will dedicate my life to You” and the Christ radiated His light into the boy. All right 21 days were up, they came to take him to the court but they have to photograph him and fingerprint him again because he’s an American and he’s in a Canadian jail and they have to ship him back by extradition law but he has to pay a certain penalty. 1:37 When they came to fingerprint him, the prints were not the same as the ones they did before, they were entirely different, they have the wrong man, they cannot understand it. This is true, he’s on record, he’s a living man, and he goes around the country teaching people, but the new prints on his body are not the same prints of what he was when he entered into prison. So he himself will tell you Christ met him at the halfway mark, he had to make the initial impetus of trying to want to be forgiven though he was down in the dungeon. Now once you realize what I’m saying, no matter how far you go into matter, especially enmeshed in it, you still have to mentally make the turn around to be pulled out and it can be very dramatic and in most cases it is dramatic but sometimes it is a gradual process for other people who don’t need a dramatic change. Some people need a dramatic change to give them the faith, others do not need a dramatic change to give them the faith, they may need more love to give them the faith. Some people need more love than somebody hitting you on their head and saying, “I’ll change them,” or some actual miracle of change, love can be the transformation. Audience: Well are most people reincarnated or do most people go into Christ? Adano: When Christ pulls you out, He brings you up to that level of Consciousness acting on Consciousness. 1:39 Now you still have free choice, you still can drop back down, you still can deny the Christ, even though you accept the Christ it is you who can deny Him. Peter accepted Christ, the twelve disciples accepted Christ and the same twelve denied Him and they lived in close proximity with Him, let alone us who must rely on the resurrected body of Christ to lift us out. We can accept the impact of that consciousness on ours and transform us, yet because our desire nature can be stronger than the transformation, we can still drop back down. So it’s still up to us again to hold on in that state, we have to hold on. Audience: What about Paul who didn’t pray (inaudible). Adano: When Paul had the halfway mark, he fell off his horse and was blind, he was a bounty hunter for the Roman government. He earned his living by rounding up the Jewish people who were calling themselves Christian, what could be worse than to sell your brother into slavery or to be eaten by lions. So the halfway mark, he was going towards Damascus to round up these people. Now his own consciousness went into conflict when he had this shock and he heard the voice saying within his consciousness, “Paul Paul or Saul Saul, why doth thou persecuteth Me?” Audience: Well that’s more than halfway, isn’t it? Adano: No no no, that’s still the halfway mark because he was struck blind and he had to be led by the hand by one of the disciples of Jesus, a householder disciple by the name of Ananias. 1:41 Audience: But he wasn’t seeking. Adano: No one seeks when they are in that state of total enmeshment, just like the man who… Audience: I thought you said in the first half that we have to be seeking. Adano: No, He meets you halfway when you can be angry at Him and persecuting Him or you can be in a state of forgiveness, He’s still got to meet you somewhere. You see Paul, you gotta realize Paul’s background, why was he persecuting these people, why was he doing it? Remember he was Jewish, number one, he had a tremendous education as a Roman citizen and in Greek philosophy, he was a very well educated man, he wasn’t just an ordinary bounty hunter. He refused to accept the ideas when he started out rounding them up, he was the type of man who was in psychological conflict, he wasn’t doing out of strict money making. He could not accept their sudden translation, it’s like a person in the White House looking down or out through the window and see a young kid today with long beard, long hair, dirty clothes, walking down the street in front of the White House, he’ll get aggravated, “why is my children doing that?” So we have what is called a conflict, he cannot accept the new group of people or the new thinking. So Saul was in that state, he was against that type of a change that was happening (inaudible), the impact of Christianity was taking too much out of (inaudible). So he worked for the Roman government by trying to round them up but it is his own internal conflicts that generated, this is not his first journey to Damascus to round them up, he made many journeys rounding up these people but every time he would do it there was internal conflicts. 1:43 You see that the thought that’s stuck him is “Saul Saul why doth thou persecuteth Me?” That means he’s been doing this thing over and over and with mental remorse. He was asking himself, he’s trying to be a good Jew, a good Roman citizen in his frame of reference but again internal conflicts were occurring in his subconscious mind. He would have to have internal conflicts otherwise he could not have his particular reaction, there had to be internal conflicts, he was thinking his action was the right action to obey Roman law and to eradicate this new group of people but the internal actions were too strong or what they say, reacted upon him that he had an internal experience. Saul in a true sense was searching too, he was trying to define in his mind if truly Christianity was real or valuable or if his orthodox Judaism was valid or if Roman law or Greek philosophy was valid. He was caught up in the land of comparative ideas, so in his writings to show that this man has a tremendous understanding of religion from all aspects: Greek, Roman, and the Hebrew. He was able to put them down in his own words to (inaudible). Audience: You’re saying the voice was his own consciousness, not an outside voice. Adano: It was his own Christ consciousness, the consciousness acting upon his consciousness, his own higher self or intuitive self acting upon his lower nature to trigger him into it. You see he was in that state when he was searching, he was searching for what you say, release from the confusion of ideas. 1:45 Many of us start out being rebellious against the church, we don’t care for what the church has to offer us, it doesn’t mean anything to us, so all of a sudden we try to tear down the establishment. In our minds we are confused, “is there a God, is there no God, is this the true Messiah, the truth that we’ve been told,” and we have all kind of conflicts going on. They’re going to be a sort of mental bubbling or mental volcanic action occurring until this thing fits or explodes. Saul was one such man caught up in his internal struggle and he made it active by trying to actually round the people up and persecuting them and bringing them to justice, but at the same time he had internal conflicts as to their beliefs. He could not have a sudden transformation without internal conflicts, he was searching for truth. You see he had to know a certain degree of truth but he was not sure as to where and how this truth was working. He was confused between the orthodox Judaism, the Roman ideas, Greek ideas and then all of a sudden this new idea of Christ in Man, he’s caught up in the conflict. So he’s trying to destroy something that he doesn’t understand, internally the conflict reached a point and he had to experience some change. So he was met also at what you call the halfway point in consciousness. 1:47 Audience: But when these changes occur are they in the physical state that we are in now or are they in the mental state after we die. Adano: They are both in the physical and in the mental, in the body and (inaudible) but you see you don’t want to wait till you die to make changes, you want to make changes when you’re alive that’s the difference. You see when you die, you don’t have a physical body to correct, to account for, when we’re alive we have our fellow man to face and account for it, this is the reason why we must publicly accept and declare this in the physical frame. To accept God publicly means to accept God in your physical sense of the consciousness not a mental sense or in a hidden sense, you must accept truth openly, not in a hidden way, so changes must also occur openly not in the hidden world. So when you pray you don’t have to shout at the top of your voice to tell God that you’re praying but you must do it consciously, openly with the physical model so that changes can occur openly or physically in the body and not to be afraid to do it. 1:49 Audience: When you were saying you were ill and doctors were talking, suppose you had wanted to die and the other person was given a lot of positive stuff, now would that be interfering with your will? Adano: When I fell off the building I left my body and I saw the physical part lying there, my electrical and ideational parts went out into time and space and I said to myself, “If this is death, I enjoy it, it’s the greatest thing possible because there’s nothing here to be afraid of, it’s all me,” and that’s the realization, “I and the Father are one.” Now the Higher Consciousness said “No, go back into the body, you have some unfinished work to do to show Mankind how to work with pain.” So I found myself slipping back into the body. Now the body became numb from the feet up while the Higher Consciousness begins to tell me if the numbness will get past the eyes, there will be no hope for me in this physical frame before medical attention, but I must stay conscious until medical attention comes and not to let the pain or the numbness go past the eyes. Now how can you stop the numbness from rising up? You don’t have no movement in the foot, it’s paralyzed, you can’t move it, the energies are not going and the hands are not going but with tremendous willpower I took the finger and put it in my mouth to generate pain and I began to fight because this is matter and this is matter and I am living in a matter state, the very first level of perception. 1:51 So by putting the finger in the mouth I began to apply pressure thus causing a reaction through the teeth, up the jaw bone, back to the skull into the brain to keep consciousness alert and to keep the pain from rising above the chin. From here on the pain and the numbness had all come up, this whole body was numb right up to this point and as I kept biting, the pain was generating from the finger was biting, I held onto that state. Now when I arrived in the hospital, I was put in a stretcher, the sound of the siren in the ambulance will kill you faster because that vibration is so strong you want to die because it intensifies every other vibration in your body, it made every other vibration react. Now one thing to die is avoidance, we have no right to want to die, we have a right to fulfill Divine Law and Divine Law responds to us if we should live or we should not live. It’s not for us to decide when our body wants to die, it is up to us to accept Divine Law or Divine Will that it is time to go. I accepted it when I fell on the ground, “Well if this is death, alright I am ready to go,” and then the thought says “No, it’s not time” then I accepted the other reaction entering back. Divine Law is Divine Will that tells you what you must do and what you should not do, this comes from the intuitive nature and if you respond that’s the very first behavior of the spiritual life to obey, don’t fight it because it knows what to do. 1:53 I obeyed and in obeying the miracles began to happen, I began perceiving all past life activities, the reasons for my fall. I arrived at the hospital and while they were trying to work on me in the emergency ward, the elevator came down right there and out stepped an elderly gentleman, he was a doctor, and he walked over and he said, “this boy is dying” and then he took away the implement from them and stuck it under my ribs and let the air out and then he said, “you know young man, normally I never come down this elevator, but the one I was coming down tonight which is my normal routine got stuck and I have to go to a meeting and therefore I came down this elevator.” I said in my mind, “Fooey, it’s stuck.” I realized what was happening, he thinks it’s stuck by natural law, I accept it as Divine intervention working for my good. I needed his knowledge, the Creative Intelligence has to work through his knowledge of the laws of this body to help me at that critical moment. The young intern did not know what they were doing and they were trying their best under their present knowledge they were trying their best and left to them I would have been dead, you see. So the elevator being stuck in his mind is good for him and is a disappointment at the same time. In my mind it’s God acting through it to block it that I would not be mal-treated by the doctors who were learning and have somebody who had competency and knowledge and experience work with me. So Divine Law works in many ways, it’s a matter of recognizing it. 1:55 So I did not say, “I want to die,” that would be again trying to commit suicide. We have no right to want to die, we have a right to live each moment and let the Divine Law itself take us out. We have a right to face even those who are saying, “if he don’t live now, he ain’t gonna live,” even that we have to face it and work with it and when they said, I began to use my will to break it because that was a test. Audience: Adano when your energies left your body, did you life flash before you? Adano: Yes, you can live all your lives in one split second and all your horrors and goodness all at the same time. Audience: You didn’t go as far as George did, he said the Lord asked him what he had done with his life, did you get that far? Adano: Well I saw myself in oneness with it, you see I saw the oneness of everything (inaudible). Audience: Did you see God? Adano: That’s what God is, the Oneness, He doesn’t have a form. All the realized Masters were there, I saw them, but They don’t interfere with your experience, They make you realize you’re one with God. I became the tree, I became the earth, I became everything, in that state I only heard Oneness, “You and I are one, you and I are one,” but then can I stay here in this Oneness which is what I wanted. I said “If this is death, if this is really what happens in death, then I accept it.” I’m not afraid or worried of coming back, I said “If this is where I have to stay now, the physical body is there on the ground and I’m looking at it, here I am in everything, the galaxies are all over, you look at the sky all around you’re in it, like if I’m seeing myself on many other planets having the same experience, it’s happening inside. It looks like as if I was crazy too, I was laughing inside. 1:57 Yet I’m saying, “If this is really what death is all about then I accept it,” but the Consciousness says, “No, you must go back.” Then with this command from Consciousness I accepted. Alright, this is the first rules in that Consciousness, to accept, because you’re living by Divine Will. Now what I have done with my life (inaudible) because all through my studies I was trying to live according to this Divine Law. Now my highest test would be do I go back into the body or do I avoid the involvement with the body? Normally we don’t want to be involved with the body because we’re trained not to be involved. Audience: But you had a choice. Adano: I had this choice to accept or reject. If I reject it then I will be the one who will suffer, not the Divine Intelligence. The Divine Intelligence knows exactly what I’m supposed to live out and therefore I went back in to live out these principles again on a conscious level. Audience: (Inaudible, then laughter). Adano: I already explained it to you. If you put your hand into a glove and it fits you perfectly, you don’t notice any difference. Now you pull the glove off but before you pull the glove let’s say you bumped your hand but your hand won’t swell fast enough by time you pull the glove off but it’s not swollen to some degree, try to put your hand back into the glove, what will be the sensation? It seems like it can’t pass through, getting back into your body seems to be you’re oversized, you’re entering into an undersized garment. The sensation is that your body is undersized in terms of the immensity of your nature, that is the feeling you have. 1:59 Everything that is truly you is so oversized compared to the little physical body, in the first place you ask yourself how did you ever got in there in the first place? That’s why you feel so happy to get out of it. The reason you feel happy when you’re outside of the body is because this particular enclosure has lost its restriction when you’re outside. Now when you want to go back in it’s like a swollen hand trying to get back into a glove that once fit snugly, it’s very difficult to push it in back but when it slips back it fits and you have to accept it. Now that doesn’t say you can’t go in and go out, you can go in and go out, but it’s the peculiarity of just slipping back into it under a condition like that, my condition was under impact of shock. When we consciously go out by our own shutdown in meditation, we slide in and slide out like that without any problem you see but in a case where I was shocked, jolted out of the mechanism by the fall and trying to enter it again, the immensity was too great in comparison to the mechanical changes or what they say, the physiological changes, that are occurring in a broken body. The physical body is already making changes for the brief moment I was outside so it felt like the hand was bigger than the glove, you see what I’m saying 2:01 Audience: Are you saying that if we get to the point that we have met the karma, that we have resolved the things that we’ve needed to resolve, the test of needing it is the choice to come back to help the rest of the creatures, (inaudible). Adano: Yes, you will not return by forceful command of your own personal karma or craving, you are returning by divine command to fulfill divine craving. I did not enter back because of having a personal craving, I accepted death, I accepted the release of the body as what it is, it’s a Divine Intelligence that says you must go back. Now coming back I accept this and if I didn’t accept it then I am blocking it then I will die and I’ll have to take up again another little body to start over the particular experience. Now by accepting it I was given back the physical body, the broken physical body, to work with. Now I was in a state of unconsciousness when I arrived in hospital after, when the doctor came down and stuck me in the rib and then he said, “I’m going to give you a hypodermic and let you go to sleep.” Well this happened on Wednesday night at 10 o’clock and I went into the state of unconsciousness but the only thought I kept in my mind is that I owned the store and I had employees to pay and at the end of the week their wages were coming due and I said to myself, “I must open my store tomorrow at 8 o’clock in the morning.” I did not realize the full extent of the damage to the physical body because of the shock so I kept my mind picturing a clock, long arm at 12, short hand at 7 and by impressing the mind with that I began to become unconscious. Well physically speaking I was unconscious from Wednesday to Saturday four o’clock in the afternoon, mentally speaking it was seven o’clock for me in the morning in my mind, I can see this big clock inside like you know Alice in Wonderland. Everywhere I turned I saw this clock and it’s singing bong, bong, bong seven o’clock wake up, bong, bong seven o’clock wake up and that’s all I’m remembering inside because that’s the last thought the mind had impressed. I’m hearing their thoughts of dying or not dying and then I pushed against their ideas and I barely opened the eyes, a friend was standing in the room. As far as the mind is concerned I’m assuming that I’m in my own home and that is still seven o’clock Thursday morning because I know this actually occurred Wednesday night. My mind is still asleep, it’s Thursday morning seven o’clock and I see my friend standing and I’m saying to myself, “How did he get inside?” So I said, “What are you doing in the house?” He says, “We’re not in the house…”
1972 October Part 3 - Emergence
Adano72_3EmergenceQ1NW4 - 0:02 As you know this is Satsanga and Satsanga we calibrate our consciousness before we start (short meditation). Thank you. Today we’re discussing the emergence but we’ll backtrack again just for those who weren’t here to keep us in line with what we’re talking about. The eight levels in which Man must return back to the Creative Source and is the very same eight levels he came down from. The first level coming down from the Creator is Beingness acting on Beingness. There we all are equal, we are all one and the sense of oneness is very imminent for those who can remember it and those who have some glimmers of it and those who rediscover it, those who carry that memory of oneness never lose it, incarnation after incarnation we still retain the oneness. This is what Jesus is telling and all the great Teachers are telling us, that oneness with the Father. You see someone in the room and you don’t know why you suddenly gravitate to them but it’s that oneness, that sense of bond that holds us together, the love. 0:04 Though we may know each other in many incarnations yet behind the incarnations that bond of oneness does exist. So don’t be carried away with the fact that we have incarnated, separated, and recognizing each other, in reality it’s the oneness that pulls us back together, that is the real true feeling and true experience when your memory is fully opened up. So the first level coming down is Beingness acting on Beingness, the next level down is Beingness acting on Consciousness. Here we find Consciousness appearing and the sense of the I AM, if there is no I AM-ness, there would be no separateness. It’s easy to come away from the Lord or the Pure Being and say I am a being but difficult to return back to the Pure Being and say, “Here Being, I am being.” It takes mind to recognize Being but Being does not accept mind, mind has to surrender to Being. In Beingness acting on Beingness there is no mind, it is all oneness therefore in oneness there is no separateness and the feeling of separateness only occurs in the mind, it doesn’t occur in the Beingness of you. That’s why Man feels separated in God only by his mind, not in his Beingness, there is no such experience. It’s torture to be separated from the Lord and to live in that nightmare of the mind, that is why we’re coming down but because we’re given choice we can rectify the separateness. 0:06 The choice is to follow Divine Will. The Divine Will is that we do respond to His desire of perfection. Now if we don’t respond to it then we retard perfection or we delay it and then the separateness becomes intense, then we start wandering, making mistakes by our choice, then we go down to the next level, Consciousness acting on Consciousness. We sense our Beingness slipping away from us but we only have Consciousness now to act with. There up to that point the Divine Desire is still working through us, we as a being don’t have any personal desire, we still maintain a sort of link with the Creator, we still obey His Divine Will, that is called the Christ Intelligence state, it still maintains that link, I and the Father are one. Up to that point that oneness is still maintained but you see it’s Consciousness acting on Consciousness, it takes your consciousness to reinforce your own inner consciousness of the oneness. Now as long it keeps reinforcing, you are in a timeless state and there is no more desires in that state, it’s when we leave that state then the real difficulty begins for the Soul. Up to that point the Soul is free, the Soul is still capable of looking back to Its source, the Creator, and saying Father I ascend to You wherever You allow me to be in Your Beingness, there I will recline. 0:08 That is why Jesus said, “Touch Me not, I ascend unto the Father” and He ascended unto the right hand, which is the positive pole of pure being but He had to retain a link by retaining His Godness in Him. Now when we come away from that point, we enter what is called the time cycle, the first aspect of pure creation. Creation has four builders before the throne as they are mentioned in the Book of Revelation, the four builders are space, time, light, and sound. These four builders maintain an interplay upon the Soul. Coming down we are caught in the turmoil of choice between time, space, sound, and light, we don’t know how to dissociate ourselves. Sometimes we gravitate to the light, sometimes we gravitate to the sound, sometimes we gravitate to the space, sometimes we gravitate to the time. Here in this particular sphere, Consciousness acting on Energy, that is the sphere of time, that is where the Lord of Creation or Shiva mentioned in your Hindu scriptures begins the dance of creation, the rhythms, the time cycles. So the Hindu people say that at this level Man is truly separated from the Creator and is caught in the time cycle. There he has all the difficulties of desires, there is where his own personal desires begin to increase, whereas the Divine Desire for his perfected life or Divine Will starts to diminish and remains in the background of his mind because only Consciousness acting on Energy. 0:10 He sees Creation as light, he sees Creation as sound, he sees Creation as space and as time and he’s caught up in this involvement, this becomes his delusion, this becomes his mental turmoil, and the waves of energy starts to flow in upon him and keeps him trapped. Now his only enemy, or what you say opposition, is time in this act of creation because there’s not enough time to live out your personal desires. So coming into that state you begin to generate more desires to work out more desires and you crave more time to complete more desires, so it’s a vicious circle in this level. Now it’s very difficult to go back up, so it’s easy to go down than to come up, so the Soul instead of trying to return back to the Christ Intelligence, decides to go one step further down, getting more involved and the involvement is karma, it goes into the level now known as Energy acting on Energy, as you sow that you reap, for every action equal reaction, the energy rhythms, the interplays keeps you bogged down. So the Soul finds some sort of a resting place in this Energy acting upon Energy level, it feels that this is the only place it could accept itself but it’s deluding itself in that state. Because it’s deluding itself in that state it cannot look upon its true nature as Being and go back. 0:12 So it looks downward one step to see if there is something more pleasing for it, strange as we look at ourselves, the downward shift keeps more appealing than the upward pull. God seems to be more and more difficult to accept and nature seems more and more alluring to accept. So the downward pull is Consciousness acting now on Matter, we are reaching out for sensory stimulation. So karma needs physical vehicles to work out, the consciousness needs some contact with a physical vehicle to work out the retribution or the compensations. So it starts going downward now to the next level which is Consciousness acting on Matter, something tangible to relate to. Here we tell ourselves we can correct ourselves if we make mistakes and the Lord will forgive us, here we make all mental excuses because they are tangible enough to do, they are within the range of personal contact. We’re quick to accept this type of avoidance from looking back to our true self, we look now to the tangible things as a means of correcting it, then the involvement gets greater. We can’t seem to resolve it, then we find ourselves drifting down one level more Energy acting on Matter. Here the qualities of matter are more alluring, matter seems to have certain magical properties or what you say, unseen forces that tend to stimulate the sensory nature and tend to manipulate the sensory nature. We feel now important in this state, we feel now that we can regulate to some degree our environment by its inherent quality. 0:14 The Soul being trapped now realizes the horrible mistake of the involvement, wanting to turn around and realizing how far it has drifted away from its source, sees the difficulty. Now it has one more decision to make, to go back up the ladder and reclaim its true nature or to make the final plunge and remain stagnant in it. Well what does it do? It makes the final plunge into Matter acting on Matter, here is the sounding board or the final springboard, it ends up in the material casing floundering now with the illusion, “I have to save my Soul.” So it looks to matter as a sort of a redeeming process to bring the Soul back to the Creator, when in reality you are Soul but you go wrong with the illusion that you have to save your Soul. There is no more way to go now because you’re entrapped, here we keep on meshing around, plowing around, getting more and more frantic, searching for all types of material ideas to correct the delusion that we have to save the Soul. Well when we cry out in our despair at that bottomless pit as you would say or hell if you want to call it that in that matter state, then the inner consciousness starts to ring out, the idea that you must return begins to seep in. This is the level that we are coming today now, how do we emerge back. 0:16 First we know our origin, we came from Beingness acting on Beingness, right down to Matter acting on Matter and during the process of descent we got involved because of desire, wrong use of the will and choice, emergence must come back now by the same road, it must come back by the very same things we refuse to do in the first place. We have to return by a certain type of desire, by a certain type of will attitude, and by a particular choice. The same way we came down, the same way we’d have to go back up, but now we have to discipline the desire, we have to discipline the will, and we have to discipline the choice. Now this makes it difficult for us who are floundering in Matter acting on Matter because the senses are saturated, they’re overloaded, and therefore we find ourselves trapped in what is called habit patterns. Certain types of habit patterns refuse to allow us to shear them off or prune them off in order to go back up the ladder. We become like the worm or the caterpillar who grovels in the physical matter, eating itself finally to death, spinning a cocoon, but then lo and behold the caterpillar emerges as a butterfly, we have a living example now to take back in terms of creation. We also have the living example of a human being to take back in the form of the Teacher or the Master who comes down into the same physical realm with us, partakes of the same physical activities, and resort to certain desire pattern, certain will behavior, and certain choice decisions and He too spins the cocoon or crucifies or dies and emerge into the resurrected body. 0:18 The emergence then is the road back, resurrection is the deliverance, reincarnation is the entrapment. Once we realize that we are trying to return back to the source and that we don’t want to repeat the thing over and over, then the necessary disciplines must be adhered to. Now the word discipline to a mind that is subjected to sensory habits and over stimulated habits seems as a sort of a mental aversion as if I’m going to lose everything, it seems to threaten your material security, we are afraid to face discipline because we are too over involved. Do not be afraid, this is what Jesus is saying to us, “Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” The same is true for you and me and anyone on the way back up, fear deters from the transition, acceptance brings about the transition faster. 0:20 Now what are we to accept? We’re not to accept the fact that we did something bad, we are going to be punished by the Creator or we did something good that He is going to make us a living example and say, “Ah one beautiful Soul, I brush him up now and stick him on a little mantle, show the rest of all Souls you’re a bright boy.” No, we are supposed to accept our inherent Divinity as Soul number one, we are supposed to accept that fact that we are Soul and that we don’t have a Soul. With that in our minds the mental blocks, the mental aversions to hold back ourselves begins to diminish, we are not bogged down now with ifs, buts, whys, and wherefores, we have made a stand, as Jesus says, “Choose Me or choose Mammon.” Choose Consciousness acting on Consciousness or choose Matter acting on Matter, pick your choice, where do you stand in this re-evaluation? So if we pick Consciousness acting on Consciousness then we have accepted that we are Soul. If we choose Mammon then we accept the fact that we got to save our Soul, you see? So we don’t have to save it, we got to realize it’s us on our way back by a certain decision. Now on the way back the decision is desire, what is the fundamental desire? The fundamental desire or primary desire is to accept that the Creator’s creation is imperfect so long as we detain it by remaining imperfect to our true ideal. As long as we keep telling ourselves we have a Soul, we are delaying the perfection. If we keep reinforcing the fact that we are Soul, we bring on the perfection. Do you see now what is the easiest route back, why Jesus says, “Man ought to be perfect even as His Father is in heaven?” 0:22 As long as you keep delaying over and over programming the mind that you have a Soul to be saved, you will keep on this imperfection. If you don’t carry that in the mind and establish the fact or affirm the fact that you ARE Soul then the Divine Desire for the Creation to be perfect begins to express its perfection, you begin to release from within your nature the Soul force, the Soul quality, this comes to the surface. Now this is the desire you have to establish, that you ARE Soul, you accept the fact it is you, and you accept that the perfection begins from this acceptance that you are Soul. Now what is the correct will pattern for the Soul, “Thy will be done,” it’s the Creator’s will that must be applied all the time. Now how can we apply it since we find ourselves trapped in matter, how can we apply it in order to emerge out of it? Well Jesus gave an example by saying, “He that doeth the will of the Lord is My brother and My sister and he that followeth in My word is My disciple.” All right but this doesn’t tell us how to apply the will yet, we first have to understand how will works so that we can recognize it and then apply it properly. 0:24 The first demonstration of will is observed when a child is being born, the moment it takes the breath the automatic will starts to release from within the lungs, absorbing the oxygen, and the child lets out a cry. This is the first expression of will or volition, it’s called automatic will, it’s built in and a particular reaction triggers it off. Now the second expression of the will is called unthinking will, the baby is born it cannot think for itself, the parent has to think for the baby, it has to direct its volition, it has to direct it in a point where it can react. So it directs it, it directs the choice of the child up to a certain age then when it reaches say teen, eleven, twelve, the child now wants to make choices. As soon as it does do that, it doesn’t have the wisdom of correct choice, it is only doing choice out of inner nature, inner craving, out of revolutionary action. So we have now the third aspect of the will which we call blind will, we want to do things without realizing what we are doing, we are making blind reactions. So we first have automatic will, unthinking will, blind will, but the parent has to allow the child to make all the mistakes in blind will to settle down and find out that there’s only so long you can go with blind will before you discover that there’s something called thinking will, that is every time you make a mistake you hate yourself and you always say, “Why couldn’t I do it right the first time?” 0:26 Blind will teaches us by mistakes, wrong choice of blind will brings about mistakes, mistakes brings about thinking will (gap in tape)… having no sense of direction so they begin to think because they’ve made mistakes and then they settle down. Now the greater portion of humanity remain in the thinking will, they are selective now, they don’t like to get hurt, they have very very discriminative qualities and they remain in this thinking will but they don’t generate now Divine Will because there are too many interactions, too many false dreams or false hopes or too many dreams all collapsing and then we say to ourselves, “What is it? Here we are already 60 years of age, what have we done with our lives, what have we got to show that we have learned anything from an internal knowledge of our true nature.” Here we are reaching out now for that last link in the Will, Divine Will, Divine Will now comes in as a dynamic process in us. How to recognize this dynamic process? We hear, “Where there is a will, there is a way,” have you ever heard that statement? So if there is a way for every time you Will something, you will put in action, you will have to put in some effort behind it. Now effort is something many of us don’t want to do or even want to expend because it’s too expensive, we want somebody else to do it for us. Well it’s not possible in the spiritual life, no one can expend his spiritual life to pull you up, you have to expend your own spiritual Will to pull you up. 0:28 Another person can take on a certain degree of your karmic patterns to alleviate the pressure but that’s again a certain responsibility, we ourselves have to work it out, it is better for us to work it out because we stand on our own two feet after. If someone takes it from us we may appreciate it but we do not have the strength, we would not understand the mechanics of it properly not to repeat the same mistakes again, but when we work it out we have emerged, truly emerge, free Man or Lord of Yourself, there is the difference in the Divine Will. Divine Will then places a particular picture for us to work from, the Soul must accept itself as Soul, it must not say to itself, “I have a Soul, I have to save it.” Then it must say, “Wherever I am in time and space,” which is the four builders now, light and unconsciousness or light and sound, it’s saying to himself, “Wherever I am, this is the right time, this is the right place. Whatever experience I have to encounter in this relationship with my fellow Man it’s correct time, it’s correct place, and it’s the correct experience. The experience is neither good nor bad, that is to say it doesn’t have good qualities or bad qualities, it is simply the opportunity at this particular moment in my life stream to exert a certain attitude and the attitude is one of love.” 0:30 Now if we exert the attitude of negativeness or hate or destruction then we don’t apply or comprehend the Divine Will, the Divine Will is for perfection through us, that’s the major function of the Divine Will that we act out a perfect behavior, but how can we act out a perfect behavior if we don’t accept ourselves to what we really are? If we don’t accept ourselves as Soul and if we don’t accept that where we are is the right place, right time, and if we don’t accept the experience as a necessary lesson in unfoldment, then we don’t understand Divine Will, we could not work out Divine Will. As soon as we accept it then there is an influx of vital energy, an influx of peace, an influx of strength and courage that seems to sustain you like a life belt amidst the ups and downs of the sensory desires that tends to pull you away. Sooner or later the mind starts to focus back, away from Matter acting on Matter and starts to draw itself away from Energy acting on Matter and draws itself back from Consciousness acting on Matter and draws itself from Energy acting on Energy and draws itself from Consciousness acting on Energy and then centers itself fully on the Christ’s Intelligence or Consciousness acting on Consciousness. It has drawn itself back from these levels that tend to dissipate it, so as soon as it centers itself back on the Christ Principle which is the Consciousness acting on Consciousness then the Soul force starts moving back up, you start to experience joyousness, you start to see life going like miracles around you, everything falling in place, it couldn’t be better arranged. 0:32 Well that is another way to say it’s predestined that you should be a happy person, it’s predestined that everything shall fall in place for you, what better predestination can you have to know that everything is going honky dory. As soon as you get the right perspective of Divine Will, predestination is a joyous way to live. If you have the wrong perspective of Divine Will, predestination is a horrible way to live, do you get it? It would seem horrible if you have the wrong perspective, you would see it’s not possible to accept this predestined principle but if you have the right perspective everything seems to fall in place, it’s well arranged, it’s well timed that you should have these wonderful experiences of joyousness, abundance on your way back. Proportionately the Divine Will releases the abundance as you lined up with the right perspective, therefore predestination is not a horrible life when Divine Will is accepted. it’s a beautiful life, it’s horrible when it’s not lined up with the right attitude or the right Will. Now we come to the choice, we know how to apply Divine Will, we know what is the Divine desire, the Divine desire is the acceptance that we are Soul, the Divine Will is to accept wherever we are we’re at the right place, the right time, for the right experience and the experience is neither good nor bad, it’s an opportunity to express love. 0:34 All right we have these three, these two in fact, conditions lined up in our minds we know where we’re going, the third thing becomes important now, choice. Here we are forced to recognize choice by extrasensory guidance or choice by reason / logic guidance. We make choices out of our reason and logic because we’ve made mistakes previous when we made the first wrong choice, something tells you “I don’t want to make that choice no more so I try something else” and when you try something else it goes wrong then you try something else and you keep trying trying by reason and logic and every time you get hurt you say “Wait a minute what is happening to me?” Choice then must have some higher guidance, it must come from an extrasensory nature, so extrasensory choice must come from the Christ nature in Man. Now Jesus tells us “You haven’t chosen Me, I have chosen you.” Now if Jesus has chosen us or the Master chosen us or the Christ’s Intelligence has chosen the Soul to return, then the Soul must accept the choice being already lined up for Its return, that the choice is strictly to surrender to the Christ Intelligence and if we surrender to It then It will maintain an extrasensory flow that will appear like a miracle every time you make a decision and you will slide back into that wonderful experience again. So choice as far as the Soul is concerned is to accept the Christ Intelligence working through it, this is the true choice, this is the real choice that the Soul must rely on, that the Christ Intelligence is pulling It back up, that “none can come unto the Father but by Me.” Therefore the Christ Intelligence has already made the choice of extracting us out of Matter acting on Matter in order for us to emerge. 0:36 The Christ Intelligence is saying, “Come let us go make fishers of Men.” He tells the disciple to go out and gather in the people, not in an evangelistic way, that is not what is intended, the Christ Intelligence is saying to the disciplined mind, “I am making the right choice for the Soul return back to the Creator if the Soul would accept the discipline.” If the Soul accepted discipline, then It’s aligning itself with the right choice, it’s an extensory choice based upon successful return, based upon a non-mistake return. So when the Soul can recognize that It has been chosen to return back to the Christ Intelligence, It starts emerging. There the Christ is working in us, we begin to see the choice is being made for us, as far as our desires are working out now, we should not be afraid, wherever we are we are at the right place, at the right time, for the right experience. This becomes easy to live day to day, moment to moment. What is best for you will come all the time and may at the moment seem very difficult, but it’s the best for you. It’s interesting to see, that some people generate desires and then they’re in a quandary when these desires don’t fall into place, but if they say to themselves, “Divine Father or Christ Intelligence, Thy will be done, I am in the right place, at the right time, for the right experience,” lo and behold many things begin to happen. 0:38 People suddenly get friends telling them of information that they need to know. Well let’s take one simple example, a person is looking for a job and he has many ways to look for this job, he looks in the newspaper, talks with his friends, and it may not be the type of job he wants or would like to do, then if he turns it over to this Intelligence, someone comes along and tells him something and he goes and checks it out and would be the exact thing he’s looking for. This is no “once in a while” experience, this happens all the time, this is just as miraculous as changing water into wine, the same principle that change water into wine is the same principle that brought about these two forces of two people meeting and having the right job at the right time, the same Christ Intelligence is working. We don’t have to perform all the type of miracles in the scripture to prove to ourselves that Christ Intelligence is working, Christ Intelligence is working all the time in little incidences all around us, it’s to be able to relate to it and see how the whole pattern of your life is emerging out from Matter acting on Matter, how you’re coming out of this drudgery for the first time, how you’re getting out of the pull of the desire nature that holds you down and give you a deeper perspective of your Divinity. When we emerge out of that, we become like the butterfly, we are not strapped back into the consciousness with fear, we are not held down with a doubt that liberation is some never never land, liberation is here, now within us as the unfoldment of consciousness. 0:40 Now Emergence goes into a higher level of experience, it goes into the art of dying. After we have emerged from desire, from Divine Will, and choice, we have to emerge now from our final enemy. Jesus said “death is your last enemy” and “to him that overcometh, I will not send forth a second time.” So these are the challenges of the emergence, we have overcome desire, we have overcome will, we have overcome choice by understanding what type of desire we must maintain, what type of will attitude we should maintain, and what type of choice is involved. Now the last enemy is death because if we living our life true in a beautiful state, we got to expect that this body will break down someday. Even great Masters die and one will say, “Well how come they can solve all the miracles of the world, why should They die?” The only reason They die is to show that they are Masters of death because that is the last enemy, how else can They prove to the world of Matter acting on Matter that They are in a state of Consciousness acting on Consciousness unless They take on the final challenge. The final challenge is the biggest threat, the biggest fear, we are all afraid to die. Do you know of anyone who loves to die? All right since we know of no one who loves to die, then death offers a threat but it’s no threat if you realize what you’re doing and where you’re going, then it becomes a challenge towards the consciousness.” 0:42 Paul said, “I live and die daily in the Lord.” That is he knew a special method of shutting down the energy in the body and emerging out into another dimension of awareness. Jesus said, “No Man take My life from Me, I have the power to lay down, pick it up.” So if no Man can take the life away from Jesus, He has the power to lay down and pick it up, then certainly He did not die on the cross. There is no mention in any of the scriptures where they say “Jesus died on the cross,” all that is mentioned about Jesus on the cross “He gave up the ghost.” He was nailed to the cross at nine o’clock in the morning and at five o’clock in the evening He gave up the ghost. Now this puzzled the Romans because they know crucifixion cannot cause a person to die in a matter of that short time, it takes about 72 hours of slow torture and dehydration to let a person die from crucifixion. The purpose was to prolong the agony in the body and they would have to daily break the bones, set in the gangrene, in order for that person to die, so this puzzled them that the Man would be nailed up on the cross from five in the morning and then die, or nine o’clock in the morning, and die at five in the evening. So they sent their soldiers to check it lest they be faking it because it was customary in those days when the enemy was run over by the Roman soldiers, they would lie on the ground pretending to be dead and get up and stab the soldiers in the back. So they would have these individuals who would go around with spears poking the dead men to make sure they were dead. 0:44 So such a man came along with a spear and stuck it into Jesus to be certain that Jesus would not groan and if He groaned then He wasn’t dead, He was still alive and since He did not groan then he had to accept the evidence that this man was dead, that is how they view death at that time, this would be true of us today without any technical knowledge of death. They stuck the body but what occurred? Blood and water came out, proving that the body was not dead but they did not know the difference, as long as He did not groan that was sufficient, you know. As long as you don’t breathe you’re dead and they bury you, not knowing you might be in a very deep state of suspension. So equally true was in Jesus case on the cross, He “gave up the ghost” which meant He withdrew the energy up into the brain, suspended the body, and remain in that high state of awareness. Now when they took Him down and put Him in the grave, He was able to reactivate his own being. This is what we’re talking about, having the power to lay down the life or turn down the volume of life in the body and raise it up back. Now once we accept that we are Soul and Soul is eternal life, then we must trust in the Beingness of it to perform the actions. Now once we accept Divine Will that we are in the right place, at the right time, for the right experience and act it out in love, we must again trust the Divine Beingness to make the corrections in the Soul. Jesus accept in the Garden of Gethsemane that this was His cup, He had to live it out and He had to trust now the Divine Beingness to absolve Him. 0:46 It’s learning how to trust. Only at the death principle or the death level that a trust becomes more and more intense, the faith becomes more intense. Can we really trust the Divine Beingness to absolve us from these fears? I am certain that any living person would be afraid of death, let alone laying it down in such a horrible way, but again having to trust in the Divine Beingness to pull us up. One does not know how this would work inside, one might have a working knowledge of shutting down this body by consciousness when there is no damage done to the body, one can say, “All right, I can shut down and perform suspended animation in my body and I can be buried and I can trust that my body will reactivate itself, but I don’t know if you decided to chop me up after I shut down, I can’t tell that until I’ve tried to trust this energy again.” You see Jesus does not know what is going to happen until He trusts that energy to reactivate itself. Equally true we have to trust, if we’re going to trust ourselves inside to overcome death the final enemy, then we have to go one step further, we have to rely on this Divine Love to pull us out of that state. All right, Jesus is trusting that He’s being pulled out of the death state by Divine Love, He’s trusting again that His mechanism is in a state of perfect control. So Divine Will is involved, Divine Choice is involved, Divine Perfection now is involved, all three must occur in that body of Jesus at that final test, the Divine Perfection is mastery over death. 0:48 He has to prove that He is Master over death, He has to live through the experience that death is the last enemy, that death is one of the principles, that the Divine Law of the Creator has created a Soul to experience and emerge from. Now Man is very prone to be afraid to put himself to that test but let him take heart and courage that a caterpillar is doing that for him already. Every time you see the caterpillar, the caterpillar is an encouragement of that Divine Trust. Do you see a caterpillar groveling its way through the world then spinning the cocoon and coming out as a butterfly? It has divine trust in its mechanism. Man now has to have divine trust in the same Divine Beingness of his Soul to bring about this transition. How many have seen a rotten butterfly? But you have seen a rotten caterpillar. You see non-decomposition of the butterfly is non-corruption mentioned in your scriptures, it’s resurrection mentioned in the scriptures, it’s called metamorphosis. This is not a new rule, it’s not a new religious idea, it is one of the evidences of the Creator already set up in the Soul for Man to demonstrate to himself the true perfection of what is intended for Man. 0:50 Man is an immortal being as long as he reaches back to where Consciousness is acting on Consciousness (gap in tape)… he stays where Matter is acting on Matter and he has to emerge from that mortal state of Matter acting on Matter going back to Consciousness acting on Consciousness. When he gets back to that point then he becomes the immortal being, then the signature of the Creator is impressed upon his being, death is the last test for that being, it is in death we find the highest manifestation. Great men have all passed through that state, Master Jesus was one of them, many other great men have gone through that state. We are now facing the same reality but we are trying to understand it on a practical level for the first time so that the fears that are locked up in the knowledge pertaining to the emergence of our Soul from matter and the involvement in matter, no longer interferes with the return. We’re trying to prune off the unessential ideas and get to the core and realize that we are immortal but how this immortalness can come about in us. We have done many things in our lives which we will feel ashamed of and we feel that we are not competent to do it in one lifetime, that we will need more lifetimes. Yes we would need more lifetimes if we were never told, once we are told then the opportunity to begin and the opportunity to arrive is possible in one lifetime. 0:52 I remember (gap in tape)… what does she need this type of knowledge, she’s so old already, is wasting the time. The Master read their mind and He looked at them after He initiated the woman and He said, “She will make it in this incarnation, you will do it twice.” He read their whole life in one reading, the woman has actually liberated herself in this life while these are struggling with their same habit patterns, fears, and anxieties because they could not grasp. Once we are told what is involved and if we can accept, emergence becomes possible in one lifetime, it’s when we can’t accept then we delay the emergence. Thank you. (Applause.) (Gap in tape.) 0:54 Audience: I’d like to ask a couple of questions related to what you mentioned about this death of Jesus on the cross. It was always a very interesting thing when you look in the hymnal books of the church (inaudible) they profess that He died. When you take the confession of Nicaea (inaudible) they circumvent from saying that He died. So you basically agree with the statement of Nicaea. Adano: Yes. Audience: They put this spear in the side of Jesus and there was water and blood coming out. Some people have explained to me in the past that was a sign that the blood had separated, (inaudible) that the syrum and blood bodies had separated in Jesus (inaudible). What do you say about that explanation? Adano: Well anyone… remember He performed what we call Mahasamadi, the great shutdown of conscious exit. He consciously performed conscious sensory motor organic relaxation, by His own volition He shut down the cells. Now when this occurs under hypnosis and you stick a person with a sharp instrument, you have exactly the same thing coming out of the body, blood and water, that proves that the person is not dead under hypnosis. 0:56 Now under anaesthesia you have the same thing, so if you have a person who is capable of inducing this by conscious volition, you would have the exact same experience that there would be blood and water. Now the soldier didn’t know the difference, a common man in the field who has been trained to fight, he doesn’t know the difference between a living man and a dead man, as long as he doesn’t groan he’s dead, that’s all he’s concerned with in fighting. The enemy is the enemy and if you stick him and he doesn’t move, that’s death, if he moves he’s still living, keep sticking (laughter). So the disciples who were aware of their Master’s ability, they recorded that the Master had already gone in, that’s why they used the word “He gave up the ghost.” They never said He died on the cross, they said He gave up the ghost, and that is the true interpretation of Mahasamadi, conscious exit from the body of all these levels right up to here in the brain. Now in the brain it stays there shut down and you can perceive in all the dimensions, now when they cut the body down from that state, the electrical cord which you call the silver core that connects the physical body or chemical body to the electrical body that’s not severed, that isn’t severed until about 72 hours. That’s why for three days this transition would occur, that is the same thing when He brought Lazarus back from the dead, the chemical body can go through decomposition prior to 72 hours but that would not prevent the electrical body from activating the cells again. 0:58 So in the case of Lazarus, He knew how to shut down that energy, but in the case of Lazarus which we will go into tonight on the Science of the Soul, He actually shut down Lazarus, He was responsible for bringing Lazarus to the state of death, He did this to Lazarus, we have to understand the Guru disciple relationship in the Science of the Soul to understand what He did for Lazarus. Now in His own make up He Himself shut it down to the point where the soldier was fooled that there was no groaning, no movement, and the soldier accepted that as tangible death. The disciples who were aware of what was happening in these levels of behavior, they took the body and wrapped it up in the necessary herbs and let the process continue. Therefore the Shroud of Turin is an evidence that the Master finally resurrected out from the shroud Himself by bringing about dematerialization within the material, you see. The scientific evidence of the shroud is there existing today that the Master was in a certain state of awareness and then as He brought it to the highest point of realization, He went through the atomic structure and free Himself from the shroud. Audience: Someone in the Catholic Church knew the truth… Adano: …knowing the truth. When we say “knowing the truth” we’ve got to look at some other facts. The original initiates or disciples understood the Science of the Soul up to the time of Timothy, after Timothy they did not understand the Science of the Soul, that was the end of the Science of the Soul. The Science of the Soul continued to flourish up to the time of Timothy. 1:00 Audience: They understood this even before the resurrection? Adano: Yes. Audience: (Inaudible) Why did orthodox Christianity find it necessary to change the facts? Adano: No, orthodox Christianity did not change the facts until the political popes came into existence in the time of the Medicis. The political popes were the ones who actually started the change because they were the ones who were building up the theology, not the Christianity, the non-political popes prior to that time were the ones who were maintaining the initiate life, but from that time as soon as the first political pope became the head of the church, there were no more initiate life. The initiate life went into the underground, the initiate life died out and remained in the underground as a threat, so the church then divided into two segments, the apostolic end and the monastic end. The apostolic end was the one that would go out now with the new theology of Paul and bombard you on the brain with a 2x4 and get you into the church and the monastic end would go away and live in monasteries to pursue the mystic inner life. So they were no longer accountable to the pope, that’s why your monastic end is not accountable to the pope, they accept him as a titular head but they are not accountable and they do not rely on the Vatican for sustenance. Whereas the apostolic end is in full accordance with the pope and must accept the rules of the pope. 1:02 So what we have today as a church acting is the apostolic end, not the monastic end. The monastic end exists as a way of life just because that portion has not really cut off but remain underground, your monks, the Trappist monks, your various Jesuit monks, your Dominican monks, they’re all under their own supervision, they only accept the pope as a titular head but he doesn’t regulate their existence. Audience: The belief in reincarnation also up until the time of Timothy? Adano: Up to the point of Pope Irene, Pope Irene was the man who first started dissecting what you call a bible, see the bible means portable library, bibliotec is also a french word for library. Now the book is a compilation of all books put together and now held in one big book and it’s called library, a library of the scriptural writings or recorded writings of the various teachings of the great prophets. So he began a re-editing of the time and then slowly segment out the part that referred to reincarnation for two reasons: one, the communes that were trying to be Christians were lax, they were not devoting enough time to be Christians, they would do like what the modern day commune is doing, sitting down and let somebody else do the job for them. You go in a modern day commune and you find four or five people doing all the work and eight or twelve is sitting over there (Adano sniffs) like that (laughter). So after a while Pope Irene realized that this is a waste of time and the ones that do like this, “Well that’s my karma, that’s my reincarnation,” and the other four are busy hustling preparing the food so conflicts set up in these communes. 1:04 So Irene decided a revamping and in revamping the books, he eliminated all the things that would retard what is called an “active conversion” or an “active growth” but he couldn’t dissect everything or cut out everything in the New Testament, there were too many things in the New Testament that had to remain. As far as the Old Testament was concerned, he cut out all of that and then even went as far as to prevent the Church from using the Old Testament. It became one of the Papal Bull that the Old Testament was not to be used because he says, “that’s only Jewish traditions.” You see he was a very aggressive man, he wanted that people that got into the Church were to be good active Christians getting on with the job of salvation right now, but he did not take into consideration that this would be back tracking on himself, it will pile up sooner or later that the very people would ask the very same questions, like you would ask, “Was I here before?” Many of the early Christians were born with this particular heritage wondering if it was their first time or not and they were caught up and another problem that came along was Baptism. The parents were being destroyed by the arena, you know in those days they take the parents and push them in the arena and many were abandoned so what would they do with the children? Was there any hope or salvation for them because initiation was only given to an adult, not to a child, which was what we call Baptism, initiating the person into the spiritual light. 1:06 Now Irene realized that the young people would be at loss because they need every person to be a part of the growing band of Christians, so he then instituted the Baptism for the child with the godparent. That means that individual who was an initiate of truth would stand as a responsible agent that when the child came of age for initiation, they would go to the godparent to be initiated, but then they lost the techniques and then it was reorganized to be called Confirmation leading to Holy Communion. We developed a doxology, a liturgy, and all these things to maintain now a churchianistic development of Christianity whereas the pure Christianity started to go into the underground with the monks. The monks then started to cut themselves away from the mainstream but they remain in the background living in their own little communes and pursuing the meditative life, the contemplative life, this is the problem that has grown up over the years. So when we’re looking at the Church of today we are looking at churchianity not Christianity yet, Christianity is on its upsurge, it’s starting to come back now for the first time. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: They grieved in this respect, remember they were not Christ-realized men, they were on their way to become Christ-realized. Alright they grieved in the respect that they denied Him, number one, that was their biggest grief, that they did not stand up or take a stand for Him. They grieved in the respect that He appeared to be dead on the cross and that He was put into the coffin and into the gravesite, this grief hang heavy on their minds. 1:08 But what took the greatest impact was their denial, there’s nothing more, we call it damaging to your psyche than the fact that you have a loved one and you saw him blameless and you turn against him. You could accept the person being assassinated but you can’t accept easily you have been a part in the denial of the person, you didn’t take part in trying to protect the person, you see, this was what was difficult for them to accept, this was human grief. So they lingered around in the upper chamber in their grief and they tried to recall the many teachings He gave them, the many ideas He spoke about what would happen and they were hoping beyond hope that something would happen, they were not certain that they had followed a real Master yet. Jesus was a Master, very true, a fully realized Master but even they themselves, even Peter was not confident or fully convinced that his Master had actually arrived at the highest realm of awareness and would actually give him the experience of resurrection, He spoke of it but He didn’t say, “I’ll come back and prove it to you.” So they were lingering in this doubt and shame and it’s when they got the news from Mary that she has seen the Master, it gave them a real hope that it’s possible that He must have reached that higher level that they were striving for. Now as they had the confrontation in the room with Him, this broke the grief, then they took heart and made now a final plunge that they want to get up there. 1:10 Well let’s put it this way, Jesus is at Consciousness acting on Consciousness, this is the level He’s living in, and the disciples were living in Consciousness acting on Matter, and they were not capable of reaching up to Consciousness acting on Consciousness, a few glimpses were revealed to them from their inner attempt in the case of Peter when he said, “Thou art Christ” and Jesus said, “I didn’t tell you that, the Father which is in thee reveal it to you. Now upon this rock I will build My church.” Upon this awareness in a human being it is possible to build something, but Peter was not in that state, he was not confirmed in that state, he was not secure like a rock, but it’s necessary to get to that state to be anchored in it and not to waver. So Peter was struggling, because he denied it showed that he was weak, he didn’t go from Energy acting to Energy, Consciousness acting to Energy, he did not master these two states because in his later life show the mistakes he made that he was not anchored in those states. So when the Master was crucified, he was in a quandary, the Master came back, now when the Master came back and convinced them that He was truly in that state, now they make the initial push, but their initial push was still weak, they needed help. So He says, “I go unto the Father, I send you the Holy Comforter,” He couldn’t stick around to pull them up like babies, He had to give them another level. So the Holy Spirit had to come down into where Consciousness is acting on Energy to give them boost that they will make this sudden upsurge now in consciousness and then they can try to reach the Christ Consciousness from that upsurge because Consciousness acting on Energy is the Holy Spirit level where they are reminded that they must make the next level. “I go unto the Father but I send you the Holy Comforter,” the Holy Energy, the Holy Spirit, our Conscious Energy. “I send you this, I let this come to you to remind you that you hold fast, that the next level is yet to be made, in My name that if you only hold fast and this Consciousness acting on Energy, you will make Consciousness acting on Consciousness.” Do you see what He’s trying to tell? 1:12 Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes so they eventually they did make it because on the day of Pentecost they were given the next boost to the next level, they held on to that level, and in their own growth they were able to go on to the Christ state. As the disciples later on wrote in their own writings that they were already getting into that state because they were able to do the things He did and greater things too because they were already reaching that state but you see we are not left here or abandoned here by the Intelligence or the great Teachers of Truth, we are not abandoned. There is tremendous concern for us from all the way down from Matter acting on Matter all the way up to Beingness acting on Beingness and I couldn’t make it without Their grace either, so you’re not abandoned, rest assured. Audience: You are saying that Jesus, after the resurrection, was wearing the same physical body as on the cross? Adano: Yes, it’s the same physical body that has been transmuted by His consciousness. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes, there’s a difference in the resurrected body than the one before the death. Before the death His body would cast a shadow and leave a footprint and after the death, which is the Mahasamadhi and the transference of the cells by the consciousness, the body will cast no shadow, leave no footprint, and will have the odor of roses, but it will eat like you and I would eat. The only difference, it will not use the mouth, it will use the mouth just to convince us that the mouth is an organ to eat because you’re accustomed to see a human being eating by the mouth but in the resurrected body it is not required to use the mouth, it is by intravenous method by contact. 1:14 You touch the substance and the substance is transmuted through the cells and in one split second you see the whole process of assimilation, digestion, and elimination, it comes in through the right and goes out through the left. This is the normal process of a resurrected body but that is to convince the student that He is in that state but because we are accustomed to seeing someone eating by the mouth, He will say, “Okay, I will eat with the mouth,” but you know today that we can give intravenous and feed a human being. In the resurrected body it’s not required to use the mouth because a Master has mastered the senses already, seeing, smelling, taste, and touch, so these senses don’t work no more, Their eyes are always locked in and Their contact point is Their hands, so the human being in that state is fully realized. The ability He has is that He can come and go at will, there is no limitation in the sensory world for Him, He is just as here in this dimension as much as much as Venus or Mars or in some part of Peru because He’s is all consciousness. He’s moving at the speed of light squared so you can imagine how fast He’s moving already and yet He is in the ever-now, this is what the meaning of the resurrected body, the body is not limited. Now the nearest thing one can get a mental picture of is those who’ve seen the thing called Star Trek, the energization of one body is exactly this, the science fiction is giving you a glimpse of the possibility of what the actual thing about the resurrected body is doing. So we don’t have to worry about science fiction, let us worry about getting the Soul to do it. 1:16 Audience: Do you accept the truth of the Shroud that was found in Turin? It is a valid shroud? Adano: Yes it is a valid shroud. Audience: (Inaudible) facial features and so on of the Christ we are used to seeing in the old religious paintings by famous painters? Adano: The only problem you see, remember a person who is dead or in a state of suspended animation, the face gets flat and the muscles are pulled back and therefore it would look very unusual, when the faces are pulled forward in a life state it’s a little more like this one in the picture here. Now the actual imprints is in the wrist you see, you couldn’t nail a man in this part, it will break the bone, anatomy wise this would be the correct place therefore the shroud is accurate. Now the artist who have never actually seen the resurrected body labored under the illusion that He was nailed in the palm but the mystics who have actually had the experience it was always in the wrist and in the case of Therese Newman who was the stigmatist, the wound was in the wrist. See she lived not too long ago up to 1952, no 1958, I’m sorry 58 and the wound was always in the wrist, it bled from the wrist. Audience: There’s not enough support. Adano: Right that is true. Audience: That’s a most interesting book that has been written by (inaudible), I can’t think of the title. Adano: The Shroud of Turin. Audience: Can you buy it now? Adano: The Shroud of Turin? Yes you can find it, I think the Casey Foundation sells it, A-R-E sells it. 1:18 Audience: When you reincarnate do you take on almost the same body? Adano: No no no no no no, what reincarnates is the first thing you have to ask yourself, the electrical body and the ideational body, these are the two bodies that return with the memory patterns of the chemical body. The chemical body has abused the vital energy in desires, cravings, wrong choice, now the results are imprinted like a negative plate on the electrical body or astral body and imprinted on the ideational body or the thought body, now this remains while the chemical body decomposes. Now as long as the chemical body decomposes that proves that the individual has not attained realization and he has to go through a process of repeating it. Now when he comes back with another chemical body having the memory of these impressions of what he did wrong, he’s given the opportunity with the chemical body to correct, he must make the correction in the chemical body. The unfinished impressions that are left in the electrical body and the idea body, these are transferred upon the chemical body as his karma, they are to be resolved in that physical body or chemical body. When they are resolved or overcome in that chemical body then that chemical body is made sanctified or pure then it would not decompose at death, therefore we know that that individual has achieved now realization. 1:20 See there are four ways to die, one to die and decompose, two to die and do not decompose, three to die and resurrect the body and take it with you, four to dematerialize the body with bodily assumption and lift it up into the atmosphere and right in front of everyone. Audience: Who chooses what you are going to work on in a lifetime, you or…? Adano: You, you always choose because as you think so you are, as you sow that you reap. Now there is no death, it’s all birth. We are born into a chemical realm because we have to leave the electrical and the ideational realm to come and complete the unfinished work. Therefore the subtle forces are very weak, the dominant forces are strong in this realm, when you’re born as a child all the dominant forces of agitation and anger are stronger. Now when you’re getting ready to be born in the electrical realm, all the subtle forces become strong and the aggressive ones start to diminish, you don’t have the pep and go, you become very selective now because you know that you’re reaching a critical point in age and mechanism but you are preparing to be born into the other realm therefore the subtle forces are getting stronger now because that’s the force that has to be used in the other realm. So there is no death it’s just a transference from one realm and it’s all birth in each realm. Audience: And you could reappear anywhere in the world, in any other race or any other sex. Adano: Yes. 1:22 Audience: Well if we’re the ones that choose what we’ll work on, how is it that everybody is so much in doubt about what it we should do? Adano: (Laughing) Loss of memory was a prerequisite by the Lord of Creation or the Lord of Karma. You see God is not judging no man, “Unto the Son is given the power to judge and absolve as the mediator,” the Christ Intelligence. Pure Being is not interfering with the Soul’s growth, Pure Being has administered all the responsibility to Consciousness acting on Consciousness as the mediator and Pure Being has administered to Consciousness acting on Energy as the Creator. Now this Lord of Karma which you may want to call the manager of the universe, that part of the Creator comes and sets up the creation and is locked up in the time cycle. Now as long as that intelligent part of God functions in creation as time, we are given time to work it, but we are given the choice to choose when and where to work it out. Now He would not interfere, that part of the God nature would not interfere because that is a responsibility God allocates out of His nature to that portion of creation. Yet nevertheless it must maintain some degree of control, the degree of control that the creative (gap in tape) but this is the thing, to delay the issue so that we work it out by forgiveness, not by precognition or preview of the past life, if we have all the previews of past life we will not ask forgiveness, we will go and do the corrections right away so what good is it to come back in the physical body having total memory and not making up for forgiveness. The only person who is granted the total memory is the person who has lived out a life of forgiveness in a previous life and that’s what they call a Master as in the case of Elisha who was a student of Elijah. 1:24 Now Elijah is John in this present incarnation, Elisha was Jesus, but Elisha made a mistake in a previous life, he went to his teacher and said, “Give me a double portion of your power, of your spirit.” Well he was asking for something that he didn’t earn you see and the teacher said to him “You ask a hard thing,” that means to say that you don’t want to work for it, “You want me to give you all the spiritual power, the spiritual knowledge, and you don’t want to spend time but you put me in a very difficult situation, I’m a teacher and out of compassion I’m forced to respond.” So the teacher says to him “Nevertheless if you see me before I go, the mantle is yours” this spiritual power is yours, but the teacher put him in a predicament because he says “if you see me before I go.” Now the boy is not developed enough to outwit the teacher, he can never tell when the teacher is going to leave the body. So he couldn’t leave the presence of the teacher and he can’t even go to the bathroom, he can’t even fall asleep because he would not know what time the teacher would leave the body. So he really had to work now to get to that state where all bodily functions would have to shut down to be holding on to the consciousness of his teacher. So when he did earn to some degree under compassion, the teacher then gave him the the spiritual qualities but with admonishment. He realized that he did not earn it in the true sense of the word, he had to return now in a next incarnation to take over that mantle on a better footing. So when he came back as Jesus and Elijah return as John, he still had to go and pay respect to the teacher by asking him now to initiate him and then set him on the road again, so the teacher was willing to give him the experience. So we find now that he was born having memory, he was born attracting, and his life being predicted ahead because he was coming back now to fulfill this role. 1:26 But in having the memory and having no karma to work out on his own, he still had to go and look up for the teacher who was a lesser role now, was just an ordinary man and not as great in the eyes of people, he still had to go and humble himself to get this particular experience. You see the teacher had to be in that way so that the boy would learn humility in his new life, in his previous life he was a little bombastic by asking for something he didn’t earn and the teacher gave it to him by compassion. Now when the roles were reversed he had to go and humble himself and ask for it then the teacher gave it to him by saying “you baptize me,” he said “no, you baptize me” and then they argue then the teacher says all right but the role was accepted. So Jesus then fulfilled the last vestige of karma in that life by accepting the humble role and then going on the mountain to work out the inner pulls of the ego. On the forty days and forty nights he struggled out with himself and then when he came down fully entrenched in the Christ state, he then went to the first place which was a wedding and there you know from the question and answer that occurred between the mother, she said “Son there is no wine” and he says “My time has not yet come.” This is to tell her right away that he was not in that state of consciousness where he would automatically exert ego, there is no more ego now, he got rid of all of that by being humble to the teacher and by going up to the mountain and working it out, now when he’s confronted with desires which he doesn’t have any for, their desires, he’s still got to be awake now to listen to the God-self to tell him when to act and that he should not up and act spontaneously at a spur at the moment because he has a volition or a power at his control, he must act now by divine love, the divine need, and then he is telling the mother the time is not there yet. So you see time still regulates. 1:28 Audience: How long does it take and what happens to you when you’ve perfected everything? Adano: Let us get there first. (Laughter). Audience: Can you talk a little bit about the astral life? Adano: The astral life is very beautiful, it is in an exact counterpart of this physical life but it does not have at certain levels all the problems that we have. It’s called the electrical world, electrical bodies. This physical body, you ever seen the shadow? Let’s say the shadow would represent the electrical or astral body, it’s always with you and it moves at the speed of light, there is no limitation there and there is no sensation in what we call pain as a human body. There is a sensation of pain in terms of wrong choice, there’s a sensation of pain in terms of wrong language structure, there’s a sensation of pain by wrong desire reactions, but to say you cut your hand and feel pain there’s no such thing there. What would be painful to you if someone use abusive language in that atmosphere, it would be like a volcano went off. Someone tell you that a volcano or an earthquake went off in this material world and so many people are being hurt, abusive language or abusive thoughts or negative thought patterns would be like that in that realm, it will create a ricocheting action throughout that field. 1:30 Now there are many levels of the electrical world, there you have the perennial spring, that is the whole atmosphere in there is like a perennial spring. In some areas you will see snow but there is no sensation of cold since you don’t have a chemical body to feel cold. Now the electrical body does not eat the way we eat, the electrical body is composed of 19 elements, our physical body is composed of 16, but the electrical body would bring into manifestation what it needs by crystallizing it and it crystallizes what you call the essences of it. Supposing you wanted to have an apple, here you would have to grow the apple, pick it, eat it, before you can get the actual essence of it, there in the electrical world you think of the apple, it crystallizes in that realm, it’s tangible just like this one, but in a different way, it has an essence, an odor, and you will inhale it and it will shrink down. As you keep inhaling it, it will diminish itself into nothingness so you are absorbing the essences in the electrical realm. Audience: Can this body continue to grow? Adano: No, no, electrical body has its own karma by the abuse. When we abuse psychic abilities in the chemical body they are registered in the electrical body and that karma has to be worked out. 1:32 When we abuse thought patterns like if we say to someone, we give our word and we didn’t keep our word, those thought patterns will confront us. In the electrical body realm, our karma is strictly how honest we are, how ethical we are, these problems we have to face in the electrical realm. They they appear as images, as electrical images, hate appears as an image of light looking like a sort of a monstrosity, love appears as an image of pink looking very beautiful. Now if your love for your husband was very wonderful on the earth plane, physically you will love him and embrace him. In the astral world you would see that love in the shape of a rose and the face of your husband would be embedded in that rose and his whole structure would be like locked up in that rose, that would be the astral relationship of your love in there. Now in what you call Valentine’s day, you know you have a heart? Now many of us send gifts to other people and on a physical level we send you a valentine which is in the shape of a heart, in the astral realm if you were to see that everyone that you did that, you’ve actually built a heart around them (inaudible) and they will feel this in that electrical realm. Now if you want to build hate, it looks like a octopus and encountering the whole person, it’s like it’s encrusted around the person because these are energies we are releasing from the brain and it’s remaining in the electrical realm. 1:34 So the teachers of truth tells us not to dwell in the electrical realm too much for two reasons, there is more negative images in there than there are positive images and since we don’t have the strength and the understanding of God yet, we’re going to be pulled down in that state. So if you think of that story where Odysseus was traveling up the River Styx, he was the Guru. It’s the Greek way of describing the journey back to God, he was the Guru, the sailors were the Soul or the students, the River Styx is life or the spinal canal of the human spine, and the sirens were the sensory natures of the electrical realm pulling. Now once the disciples or the consciousness would start deviating away from the source inside, it would be pulled back so he had to stop their ears up to prevent that. The disciple, once he’s initiated in the spiritual light, his consciousness is kept now on the light inside which is the God light and does not deviate down into the lower realms. So sometimes in doing your meditation after you’re initiated into that consciousness, you may not see anything in the astral realm, it’s because the Master has placed blinkers over your consciousness to keep you on a straight path. It’s like bringing a horse up the mountain, it will put blinkers there so it does not look down and fall off the mountain. Sometimes we meditate and don’t see anything, I’ll give you an illustration. 1:36 Anand Swami Maharaj, the one that initiated me into Swamihood told me that he was initiated as a boy at 14 years of age into the science of meditation and up to the age of 65 he did not see a single thing in his meditation. Imagine a man, 65 years of age, saw nothing, heard nothing, but out of love for his teacher who gave him the technique of meditation, he went to visit him at the age of 65 and he said to him he said, “Sir, I’ve been very faithful with the technique that you taught me how to meditate but I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything, and all other people who have come and studied with you have so much wonderful experiences. Out of love for you I’ve still continued and I am at this age and I know I don’t have long to live, I’m asking your blessing in some way that I can see something of what God is.” Well you imagine from 40 to 65, you would have give up a long time, but the teacher said to him, “Tell me son…” Now you imagine the teacher was 45 years of age when he the boy was initiated at 14, you can imagine how old the teacher is now, he’s calling a 65 year old man “son.” He says, “Tell me my son how long can you meditate without fidgeting?” So Anand Swami said to me, and at that time Anand Swami was in his 80s, he is 86 now, he said to me, “To play it safe I told him two hours” and he was playing it safe. He could meditate for hours this man but he said, “I was playing it safe so I said to the teacher two hours.” He says, “Okay son show me.” These Indians are very practical people you know, they don’t waste words, “show me.” So he said he sat down and after one hour, he didn’t know, the teacher took a nail and a nail in India it’s got to be a rusty one, there’s no brand new nails, and nailed his leg right through the thigh, no right through the calf, into the floor and waited.” 1:38 So after two hours Anand Swami opened his eyes and said, “You see teacher, I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything.” So the teacher said to him, “Well look at your foot.” So he looked at his foot and there’s the nail run right through, he can’t get it out. Well you could imagine it’s a rusty nail, you’re gonna get gangrene so the thought doesn’t come to the man, he says “All right,” he says “I’ll take the nail out now, I’ll heal you but I’ll leave the scar to tell you and remind you how deep in God you are” and he pulled out the nail from the man’s foot, healed it, there was no blood, just pass the hand over it, the flesh pulled back, and he told him, “Now go back into the world and live and don’t come up here no more.” Now this was his second visit to the man and that was how rigid his teacher was, he says “You go back,” he said that night he went home and his whole head was like the universe had exploded, he could not shut his eyes, he couldn’t sleep, everything had started happening, he said that he was so happy then that he didn’t have it years ago, he might have gone out of his mind, you see. The inner worlds were too shocking, he wasn’t prepared, he wasn’t matured enough to handle it, and the teacher was actually protecting him in the growth until he came to the point where the teacher was able to let him experience it. Audience: Adano, when the astral body is in this dimension, what happens to the causal body? Adano: The causal body is still in the background feeling all the repercussions, it doesn’t interfere, you have all three working together, they’re not just one at a time, they’re all working together. 1:40 Well let me show you something, let me show you how they’re all working together: thought, word, deed, you know these three statements? The idea body or the causal body is the mere thought, let’s say you have the thought of going to Howard Johnson for ice cream, that’s just a thought but that has registered already in the causal body. You picture the ice cream you want to eat, say you want to eat walnut, then you say to a friend “Let us go to Howard Johnson and eat some walnut ice cream,” that’s word, this has occurred now in the electrical body therefore it’s a stronger imprint, you have released energy on a different level now. Now let’s say now your friend says, “Well I don’t feel to go, let us avoid it.” You have the tremendous physical craving for ice cream and you feel despondent, you want to please your friend, if you go then it’s the action, the chemical body fulfills it, if you don’t go there’s repercussion and the repercussion will occur between the idea body and the electrical body, between the word or the statement of going to eat the ice cream and the idea of thinking of it, you have an inner reaction. Have you ever had such a thing happen to you, you plan to do something and then you got disappointed? Now this is how it works inside. Now the moment you complete it then there is a complete flow between the idea body, the electrical body, and the chemical body but anytime there is a interruption or a suspension, then in the other two there is friction, there is an internal conflict so it reacts in your body as a shock and you will always remember your friend has been the one who didn’t let you go eat your ice cream. 1:42 So now if you pass out of the body, this is where the problem of the karma comes in now, on the electrical realm and the idea realm. In the electrical realm you will see that particular beautiful walnut ice cream hanging there and in the idea realm you would see the idea or the craving for it floating around there as a force field. Now this has to be resolved, you have to resolve it. Now if you don’t resolve it in consciousness, then we are thrown back into a chemical body with a tremendous craving for walnut ice cream. Do you find some time you have craving for certain foods? This is what has happened because someone has actually interfered in the completion of the thought patterns for you. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Yes meditation is to help you discharge it. You’re supposed to meditate on the idea and see it and try to dissolve it in the consciousness and there are techniques to dissolve it, it’s called image therapy, you dissolve the images in your consciousness by meditation, we explode them, and that would be like a tape recorder. A tape recorder, the old-fashioned tape recorder, when you tape you had to erase the whole tape before you can tape back on top of it. Today you don’t have that problem, today you tape and if you don’t want the information you just record on top of it and that is automatically pushed out. 1:44 Equally true in consciousness, in the olden days when Man did not know how to correct his consciousness he went for confession and confession was a means of correcting it by speaking out the whole thing in front of a priest and that would be like the old-fashioned tape recorder, erasing it, and then he would give you a bunch of Hail Marys and Our Fathers and different other vespers to perform and that would alleviate it. Today we don’t have to do that, today the same type of confession has taken a more mature outlook, it becomes image therapy, you can take those images and recorrect them by various color ratios in the mind and explode them, therefore you don’t have the internal conflicts no more. Audience: What’s the advantage of color? Adano: Very important because light is color, you see the light all the time in different colors and each color has a particular impact on the mechanism especially in the electrical mechanism, it determines what degree the impact is in the electrical mechanism and it also determines what level or mood you’re in and what degree of shock the body is in. All right here’s a good experience, close your eyes, think of your mother being pregnant with you and tell me what color comes to your mind. Audience: Blue. Adano: All right, you didn’t imagine it. Audience: I know that color is something (inaudible). Adano: You see the shock is already established by the impact of the Consciousness acting on Matter and therefore it is registered in your cells for the balance of your life until it is recycled out of you, no matter how. So everything that has happened in the nine months of pregnancy are all registered (inaudible) and the color has already determined the degree of shock the cells (inaudible). Audience: Let’s save our questions for tonight and we know you’ll all be here (end of tape).

(x5) 0:12 Now let’s do the Holy Breath fourteen times. (Meditation). 0:18 Mentally repeat the holy name. (Meditation). 0:29 Let’s see the light and hear the Sound Current. (Meditation). 0:41 Audience: Adano would you please explain again why you put your fingers on your eyes. Adano: The thumb goes in the ears, the first finger on the eye. Audience: With a lot of pressure? Adano: So as to prevent the eyeball from moving, that’s the reason it’s there, to prevent it from moving, keep it steady. Once you’ve got it steady, you can see the ring of gold and the blue light and the dove when you take it away. Then you should hear the Sound Current inside. Audience: Should it hurt? Adano: Well it will hurt to start with because your eyes are not accustomed to it but then your eyes become accustomed to it. Audience: Well tell me this, after I’m done with Holy Breath and repeating the Names, my head starts doing this. Adano: Yes because it’s starting to rise up in the current, this is inner travel, you’re actually going into orbit just like a satellite goes into orbit, you’re blasting off exactly like when you blast off in Cape Canaveral and you’re shooting right through the brain. Audience: I couldn’t feel anything from here. Adano: That’s because you constantly… after a while you’re gonna fly yourself going out through the pineal gland. Audience: What happens when you begin to get a headache right here? Adano: Just keep on repeating the Holy Names, don’t let go of the Holy Names, that’s your safety belt, that’s your life belt all the way back in and out from here to infinity and back. Audience: When we’re doing this, are we repeating the Holy Name? Adano: No, not that time, anytime you get a swirling sensation, you’re calling the Holy Name. You find you’re starting to swirl away to some different eddy currents or you’re drifting down into any particular level of awareness, you use the Holy Name to bring your back steady. Anytime there is any variation from centering, you use the Holy Name, the Holy Name is a brake and it’s an accelerator, it’s your life belt and everything. Audience: What about nausea? Adano: It will stop it too. Audience: Could you explain again how to do the Holy Breath (inaudible). Adano: Yes “AW” and “EE.” Audience: And do we concentrate on the spine at all? Adano: No you have nothing to do with the opening up of the centers, the Masters open it, the Masters tune it up. Your centers are like a carburetor, you don’t have a single thing to do with it. Anytime you attempt to do it, you’re playing around with the machinery that’s why the chant is “Who is in my temple, all the doors open by themselves, all the lights go on by themselves,” it’s the Masters Themselves who turn it and time it. The Book of Revelations tells you in there that the golden seals are opened from inside, the angels themselves (inaudible) Master Consciousness opens it, we are not supposed to tamper with it. Any time we tamper with it, we don’t know what we’re doing, our commitment is just to repeat these things and (inaudible) from inside. Audience: Can we do that more than 14 times? Adano: No, don’t be like me years ago and try to do more than 14 (inaudible), do the required amount, after 14 it doesn’t register. At the end of four years we will give you another quantity to do. Audience: You say it’s supposed to be consciously done as you do when you’re sleeping but those are real long breaths. Adano: Very slow, no rush, take your time in between, you can even breathe in between and take a break. Audience: But then do you consciously force all the air of you? Adano: No, this is a very slow, gradual process, being conscious of it and not to rush it, not to strain. There should be no strain, it should be just be (inaudible). Audience: And it should take 12 minutes to do it? Adano: The minimum (inaudible) 10-12 minutes, you do it very gradual without any rush. You’re not in a hurry to go nowhere so take your time. Is that clear young lade? You don’t do more than 14 at a time not because you’re going to increase your consciousness one year evolution, you want to get there faster, you don’t get there any faster. There are three things why you can’t put on more, it’s like a carburetor again if you over flood it what would? Audience: It would stall. Adano: Stall, if you put too much discharge energy in your lungs, you flare up the the toxins in your system. This is one sign you obey the instructions all the time, don’t monkey around with it. The Masters have it very specific, They don’t want us to monkey around because we don’t have a single thing to do with it, this is a science of total obedience inside. That’s why you’re freed from that particular first mistake we made with the apple, what was the actual sin in the Garden of Eden? Disobedience, there is no other sin in the spiritual path. Now God doesn’t punish nobody for karma, we read a lot about karma but we don’t want to get down to the nitty gritty of doing it, we find out (inaudible). We dissolve our own karma as an initiate, the non-initiate will live in the illusion that he got to go to hell, he will live in the illusion he’s got to get somebody on a throne to absolve him of his sins, that’s because he’s a non-initiate. The initiate is the only person who knows what’s going on inside, he’s the one that is going to burn up his own karma, he’s the one who’s going to raise his own evolution, and he’s the one that is committed to God to total obedience all the time. There is no sin in the universe save the sin of disobedience, simply that, and the initiate keeps his peace, he doesn’t go and tell his people, he isn’t suppose to tell no one, he has to leave them until they are ready to accept the truth. They got to break away from their illusions that they got a Soul to save and when they’re ready to accept the real truth about themselves, then the road back to God is strictly obedience. It’s a very simple journey, they don’t make it complicated, the Masters are trying to teach us simplicity, humility, patience putting us through a process. We cannot make that growth by thinking of it or intellectualizing it, we can only make the growth by obeying it, it’s a peculiar process but that’s how it works inside. Now this is not going to be found in books, you got to live it to find out about it that’s the reason why they don’t have it written down in books, it’s a process that you have to live inside, it’s a journey of an inward movement inside the mechanism. Outside of your skin on this side of the wall of the skin, the five forces of the universe are in a state of conflict or war: earth, water, air, ether, fire, they are constantly in battle with each other. On the other wall of the skin inside of your body where the blood is, they are in a state of unity or harmony for the first time. The only thing that separates them from fighting each other is this skin, this is what they call “God made flesh,” that’s the miracle of the universe. It’s a powerful force field that separates them all, a thing called skin, flesh, “God became flesh.” 0:50 The mystery He has made is keeping all these forces in the balance by a wall of skin. Now if you look at a piece of tissue under a microscope what do you see? Nothing but a spongy porous substance and how can this spongy porous substance hold back violent forces outside and keep them in check inside, isn’t that a mystery? A fantastic mystery, yet that is the whole essence of this inward journey. Now the holy breath is already set up inside to organize this movement back in and we are not supposed to go and jigger around with it and monkey around with it, that’s why they say you must have a teacher. The awakening of the kundalini always has an admonition when you get down to the real nitty gritty of it you find out what it’s all involved, it’s involved with simple obedience to let God, the inner consciousness, open up from inside simply by letting the consciousness work. This is why they say after a certain period, the quantity of the breath will change and you don’t change it, it is given at a certain time because there’s another initiation (inaudible). So we are not concerned with that now, we are concerned to get this thing moving inside when you get to the next initiation, you’re well on your way. Okay in the chart you’ll see there’s a drawing on the left side, it’s called Man’s Basic Self and below that you’ll see some lines running down, that’s why I wanted everyone to have to their own chart (inaudible). You have a little paper, it’s called Additions to the Initiates Requirement’s Chart
(Gap in tape)… it’s the balancing point between the Son of God and the Son of Man aspect in you, always the conscious level, it’s this meeting point. Now before we can understand the Son of God level which is the line moving up from the breath, we must understand the Son of Man level that’s the line moving down. You see it’s called Conscious Degeneration, we consciously break down ourselves and this is the reason why Jesus told Peter “You have been with Me so long in the regenerative life and know me not.” Peter did not awaken enough of the regenerative forces in his body, he was too involved with the conscious breakdown of his body. Now and you notice the next point is Conscience Contact, we don’t have a conscious contact with God, we have a conscience contact. In the downward pull, we pollute ourselves and therefore the conscience contact is the breaking down process. You never hear of the word guilt conscious, it’s guilt conscience, these two words go together. It’s never guilt conscious or guilt consciousness, it’s guilt conscience. The conscience is a different aspect of your being, as you meditate you’re trying to search out in the mind makeup for the conscience, your meditation inward which is the Holy Breath, repeating the Holy Name and looking for the light and seeing the Sound Current or hearing the Sound Current is to lock into where the conscience is swirling, it’s a force field inside of you, there you can see it now, it’s called the Wheel of the 84. The conscience is called the Wheel of the 84 in the Hindu writings or in the Yoga writings, it has 84 movements and each movement there is a thousand variations. How come we get the idea that there are 84 basic postures in Hatha Yoga and a thousand variations for each basic posture. You study Hatha Yoga, how many postures are there? There are 84 basic postures and a thousand variations for each posture, each variation is a level of conscious reaction and is stored up in the conscience makeup of the being. A fully realized person can do all 84,000 postures without ever studying Hatha Yoga because he can enter any one of the positions, his body would automatically go into that by strictly the force field of consciousness. Great Saints, some of them are 80 and 90 years of age can be seen standing on their heads for hours, standing on their thumb alone with their feet up for hours. They can be bend in the most fantastic postures that would defy a very young man to do, strictly that he has entered the Wheel of the 84 force field and the body is nothing but a plastic movement. You will say to yourself “but he doesn’t have bones” but it ain’t true. One time there was a boy who wanted to do the postures to impress Yogananda, Yogananda was having a public meeting when they were dedicating the Lake Shrine in California, there were six boys who were trained to do the demonstration. The seventh boy felt he had learned enough and he came to Yogananda and he said “Master, can I join the group and do the postures?” And the Master look at him He says you’re not sufficiently developed but he says “Master, I’ve been studying for four years.” He said “That does not account for what I have just said. So the boy says “Well Master with Your grace I can do it.” Our of compassion He says “all right join the group,” He’s going to teach the young man one good lesson in life and never forget. The Master never calls out the postures in English, that’s number one though he taught them in English words. Well he started right in front of lieutenant governor Goodwin Knight and now everybody, all the big dignitaries, He starts calling out their postures in Sanskrit. The six boys all got into the postures and do it, the other one started to join in too. Gradually He comes to a very difficult posture and calls it out in Sanskrit, all six fellas went like that right into it, this boy couldn’t get into it and He watched and then He released the consciousness of the boy and the boy went right into it and the boy held the posture. He called out another posture but He shut off the energy from the boy and left him in his posture and allowed the other six to go on doing their postures and complete the show. When the show is over, the boy is still stuck in his posture, he can’t come out, the whole program is over and he’s sitting down there in the posture and everybody’s looking at him, he must see some super wizard sitting in this posture for a long time. He wasn’t no super wizard, he was cut off into that posture and left there to learn his lesson but he can’t go into the posture merely by sheer willpower, that the grace of a Master is very important for it. Then the Master came along and says, “You had enough now?” And He touched him on the head and he fell out of the posture. (Laughter). So I know the person very well and he was telling the story, he says “after that day he found out that Hatha Yoga is not what you think it is, it’s not just a mere exercise, not when you’re living with the people who understand what it’s all about inside.” 1:00 It has to do with the conscience inside, the conscience is built like an 84 cogwheel, a cogwheel with 84 ends like notches and each one regulates certain functions in the body and there are a thousand variations to each one of them, they’re hooked in but because it’s hooked in, it controls the breakdown rate of the body that’s why they say Hatha Yoga can build up your body and prevent you from breaking down, that’s why they say it’s a preventative form of exercise. Looking at it as strictly as a physical culture so looking at it from a standpoint of inner development of the Soul, it’s a fantastic process so it regulates the conscience contact from breakdown which you call pollution. Now let us look at the lines in which it controls and we will see what happens (gap in tape) …un-ending patience, that a Saint is a replica or some representation of on ending patience. Audience: In other words being free of time. Adano: Yes patience is being free of time, there’s no more pull on the mechanism, there’s no way the mechanism is going to come down into the time state. See that’s what the Master consciousness is because it’s intuitive now, it’s above the time cycle, it’s independent of the senses that rely on time so if you don’t rely on time then you can’t be pulled back into time. Audience: Does this mean that you are in the state of cheerfulness and buy a watermelon and drop it, you will still be cheerful? Adano: Yes. (Laughter). Audience: Or does it mean you won’t drop the watermelon? (Laughter). Adano: You will be patient because you will laugh at the comedy of how it falls out of your hand. Audience: Right, it doesn’t mean that it you won’t drop it. Adano: No. Audience: It just means that when it drops you will accept it for what it is. Adano: Right, right that exactly what we are saying. Now we have to go up gradually in the scale through mercifulness, equanimity, bliss, and ecstasy but these are all states that are conferred upon us, these states are conferred and they’re strengthening in us in the refinement. Now in the refinement process you’ll notice certain things must be done to ensure it and you look below the line you’ll notice it says now “affirmation,” you gain this maturity or refinement through affirmation, analysis, prayer, experimentation, nutrition, fasting, and elimination, energization, sex sublimation. These are the forces that stabilizes the refinement or which the refinement is constantly revolving itself around: concentration, introspection, visualization, image therapy. Then meditation which is Mental Energy Directing Individual Thought Activities Towards an Intuitive Observation and Oneness of Noumena or reality. This refinement process is revolving around these principles to stabilize it or make it stay active then… yeah? Audience: What is image therapy? Adano: God made Man in His own image and likeness, male and female created He them” and if you have the wrong distorted image of yourself, you have to correct it. Therapy means to correct or heal, you have to heal your self-image all the time so the refinement process is a image correction of yourself that you are Soul, you don’t have a Soul, you’ve got to constantly bring this about in the consciousness everyday when you keep slipping away with that idea that you have a Soul and you’re trying to protect it or save it then you you don’t have the correct understanding of your true image. Now the image body of God is like a diamond, let’s say it’s white light, luminous and luminous wisdom is oozing out so a diamond is a very hard carbon that illumines or gives off light or diffuses light. The body is carbon based already and we throw off carbon dioxide when we breathe so our true image is to take this carbon base that refuses now to shine light from the downward pull of the degenerate movements which is called the Son of Man movements like a charcoal now and try to bring it up to the refinement process which is the Son of God movement and diamond-ize it. Now the story called “The Secret of the Golden Flower” is mentioned that the purpose of it was to diamond-ize the body to arrive at the diamond body. If you read the book they’re looking for the diamond but the diamond body is the refinement body, is the body that radiates from the carbon base so you are in a sense building back your true image for the first time. Now the next thing is contemplation in which we enter the Master consciousness or the Radiant Form, that when you close your eyes to meditate it is called communion with the Saints, you want to see those radiant forms within you, the Master consciousness. Those Masters who have lived in the body, who have resurrected, and those who are still to come, their radiant form is still there, it’s never lost, that means they are eternally alive that’s what the contemplative part is that you will have this inner communion, you’re working towards that conviction. Then finally you’re working to life over death which is life control which you must resurrect. You see Jesus says we don’t have to reincarnate, we got to resurrect and a butterfly is doing it all the time so that is the very source we are going to, we are going to resurrection via a love nature, a love refinement of the physical cells. So now this refinement process rotates or revolve around these movements under that straight line. Now you’ll notice at the very top underneath the Initiate Requirements Chart there are some words, these are the things that are starting to appear in the early stages of established refinement: integrity, honesty, open mind, desire, service, willpower, humility, self-control, silence. These forces begin to become dominant energies in the body, they are the dominant energies of the body, they appear on the surface now. Audience: Desire? Adano: Only one desire is to fulfill God’s desire, that’s the only desire you have. Audience: That’s the one that’s supposed to come through? Adano: Yeah. All right, now in the right hand corner we see what is called the 35-day resistance cycle, this corresponds exactly with the breath, there are 16 little dots at the bottom of the ring and there are 19 dots at the top of the ring which gives it 35. Now the upward part is the electrical body, the electrical body how it’s composed of, it’s composed of the five instruments of knowledge, the five instruments of action, and the five instruments of life force and then it’s composed of feeling, intelligence, and ego and mind function which is 19 and the lower mechanism which is the chemical body is composed of 16 elements plus the trace elements, these are constantly revolving around in 24 or 28 days one lunar cycle, these forces are constantly making a motion. Now when we clean up the body, within 35 days of normal rational living by solar nutrition, we pull these forces in alignment in ourselves so the person who is going off of meat and all the different substances from the animal kingdom, the first 35 days after he goes off are the most difficult ones. 1:10 Now in Russia they’ve done some researches for people who are suffering from mental diseases, they’ve placed them on a meatless diet, starchless diet, and they have found it takes exactly 35 days to bring about correction in them. It’s amazing and I was surprised when they came up with the act of number of days that they made the results of testing it and pulling the person and observing, including the vitamin principle in the diet, to see how it corrected these states of mind, it took them 35 days to rehabilitate the person and set them back onto the society again. So we see that the Inner Man does carry the force fields and more and more science becomes aware of the refinement process, mental diseases are being corrected now by nutritional balance. All right we’re going back over to the left hand corner now at the top and there we come into what is called the Cosmic Time Influence and the Cosmic Time Influence involves all movements, it involves the prenatal or past accumulative conditions of our lives, it also involves our present or postnatal cognitive actions of our lives. So in a prenatal state, that’s before you’re born, the nine months of pregnancy is very important to the child and what occurs, the angers, the tensions between the parents, these have a lot to do in a time cycle that affects the body. The postnatal is after the child is born from the time the parent is going to be responsible to take care of it, that again is programmed into the body so a human being has at least two major movements dominating his life movement. Now future action or future involvement is the individual when he exerts his own choice, his own will, and takes his own responsibility by himself so your future karma don’t materialize in this life, it materializes in your next life you see. Audience: There is no such thing as instant karma. Adano: No (laughter), you see the things we take over on our personal responsibilities don’t come into materialization in this life, these are what you call future investments you know. You can buy at the stock market some stocks for future investment but you may not cash in right away on them and then you pass and your heirs begin to cash in on it. Our future thought patterns is the ones we generate for our own personal responsibility, our past thought patterns are the ones that come from prenatal and the postnatal state until we are actively involved on our own responsibility. Now the Masters tell us this, if we get past, you notice there’s a square box right above that stairway, the law of Cause and Effect or Karmic Principle? There’s a little square box there and you see a big vortex in there like it has a whirlpool, it’s called what? Audience: Tension. Adano: All right if we can get past the tension which is the world pool of all these forces in one incarnation, we can free ourselves. Now I’ll give you an indication of how you recognize that word “Pull of Tension,” the moment you start to meditate what do you feel in the forehead? Audience: Tension. Adano: Now that’s that’s the thing you’re looking for, this is why that tension is there. That tension is the whirlpool of pulling all these three forces: Past, Present, and Future thought patterns to the focal point and that whirlpool will start pulling, the Holy Name, the Holy Breath, seeing the light and hearing the Sound Current is to pull you through with a safety belt so that you don’t get lost in Hurricane Agnes. (Laughter). The whirlpool of karmic action would carry us down into a lower level of existence if we don’t have some reinforcing condition to pull us out. That’s why Jesus said “None come unto the Father but by Me.” He’s using the term not only in the literal sense of the word as Master Jesus was in the body but in the extrasensory sense, we can’t pull free from the karmic pull unless we stay at the Christ Center and hallow that current to pull us free from it, you see it’s something that you pull free from. So there in that vortex of energy which is called Tension, that’s why we must not be afraid of tension, we must try to understand tension, as we try to understand tension we will pull free. Now you notice above the triangle that is going up there are three words “Relax, Relax, Relax?” This is the key of pulling free as you repeat the Holy Name and relax and relax and shut down you’re pulling free from the vortex. Now as soon as you pull free you will automatically start going up into the spheres of Beingness: Matter acting on Matter, Energy acting on Matter, Consciousness acting on Matter, Energy acting on Energy, Consciousness acting on Energy, Consciousness acting on Consciousness, Beingness acting on Consciousness, and Beingness acting on Beingness, you pull free. As soon as you relax and start repeating the Holy Name, that tension starts dissolving itself and then you feel now the peace because you pull free. This is what the people call Transcendental Meditation, you’re transcending now the pull of the vortex. On the opposite side of the circle the words are in Sanskrit but on the right hand side the words are in English but you are pulling free… Audience: This is what? Adano: This is the Sanskrit equivalent, you are pulling free from the vortex of the accumulated thought patterns which is karma. Now remember this, God don’t condemn us, He doesn’t punish us, we who are identified in the Christ Intelligence burn up our own karma, we at the same time pull free by keeping our mind on the Christ Intelligence from the tension of the karma. So Man himself is his own liberator from the pull of his own mistakes. Audience: Say there are 4.5 billion people on the Earth now, what percent of of those people would be likely to overcome all this in this lifetime. Just a real rough figure to give you some idea of how arduous, how difficult it is. Would you say a thousand of these 4.5 billion will success in this lifetime? Adano: It’s like my thumb and my four fingers, four fourths, nearly only one percent break free, one percent. There’s a reason for it. Audience: That’s one out of every hundred. Adano: Yes. Now the Bhagavad Gita says this: “Out of a million people that seek Me,” now this is the percentage that the Bhagavad Gita had it written down “out of a million that seek Me, one finds me. Out of a million that find me, one recognize me. Out of a million that recognize me, one knows me. Out of a million that knows Me, one understands Me. Out of a million that understands Me, one has become Me.” 1:20 So that’s the percentage, it’s written in Bhagavad Gita like that. Audience: They’ve narrowed it down. Adano: Yeah they narrowed it down and in the Bhagavad Gita they’re narrow down to that. Audience: You’re into the negative numbers. (Laughter). Adano: But it’s said in the Bhagavad Gita like that and when I read that I said “Wow the chances of really getting there is really rough.” Audience: Where is it in the Gita. Adano: It’s in the middle section where He’s talking to Arjuna on the battlefield, telling Arjuna and Arjuna asking “Lord who can find you in this maze of karma?” And then He started telling him how to find Him, He said “out of a million that looks for Him, one finds Him.” Audience: Is that what’s meant by the camel going through… Adano: …the needle’s eye, the same thing true. Now there are two interpretations for that in the Aramaic they will say “the rope goes through the needle eye,” the same word for camel is rope in Aramaic you see so it’s it’s easier for a rope to pass through a needle and then a man get into heaven but at the same time there was a place called the “Needle’s Eye” in that area which is the unloading customs gate so both interpretations are correct you see and if we understand it now to run a rope through needle’s eye would be a little off in proportion but if you’re living in the area and knowing that there was an actual hole in the wall referred to as needle’s eye and it was a customs hole where everything was checked for contraband or anything then you can understand why they will use that symbology. Audience: How do we know where we are on these levels, do we have any signposts. Adano: The moment you’re initiated you’re hooked to the Master Current number one. The movements in you are set from the karmic pattern, the first signs of refinement is your increase in patience, these are the first signs of patience starting to show up, patience and trust. As that begins to become evident in the daily life then you’re realizing that you’re moving up now. Audience: Trust in what? Adano: You’re trusting in the techniques that you are working with to insulate you and pull you up in other words you’re relying on something now to work for you inside and it pulls you up and then you’ll notice the patience and the adjustment to the environmental pull of the tension is starting to get weaker and weaker, you are getting stronger and stronger internally and the outer movements get weaker and weaker so then you know without doubt that you are progressing. Now Yukteswar mentioned this he says, “Don’t measure your spiritual growth by the inner lights, by the inner sounds, or by the psychic abilities,” he says “those can come and go because the Lord of Karma still has sway over that,” that’s his realm. He says “Measure your spiritual growth by the length of time the peace remains with you in a waking state.” He says “This is gradually going to become 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year in waking, sleeping, and everything, this will now become timeless.” The peace, he says, measure it by that. Now when we finish meditating when you come out of your meditation in that hour’s activity and you see how long this body stays calm, cool, collective, and peaceful, clear in attitude, and go about and does his daily service, you are making the progress, it’s that what you measure now. He says that same peace that you feel is extrasensory, that same peace is extrasensory, and that very same peace would give you now the power to crystallize your thoughts. He says before you even begin to move in the outer world, this very same force field of peace starts to correct things for you. Now he says “the deeper your realization” means the deeper you’re holding on of it that means concreting the experience, the greater your power will be in influencing the environment you live in. Now that’s a tremendous statement. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: It’s in Autobiography of a Yogi. Audience: What kind of influence? Adano: Well you want the rain to fall, single the rain chant. (Laughter). Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Here is the part where he mentions it. Audience: (Inaudible general conversation). Audience: Will we be at the point that we’ll know when we shouldn’t affect the environment? Unless we’re ready and know what we’re doing, right? Well my husband already told me tonight I was magic and I don’t really believe it but I still haven’t figured out what’s going on. Adano: (Gap in tape then reading from Autobiography of a Yogi). “…miraculous powers is proof one has found God. No one might gain the power to control the whole universe yet find the Lord elusive still, spiritual advancement is not to be measured by one’s display of outer powers but solely by the depth of his bliss in meditation. Ever-new joy is God, He is inexhaustible as you continue your meditations during the years, He will beguile you with an infinite ingenuity. Devotees like yourself who have found the way to God never dream of exchanging him for any other happiness, He is seductive beyond thought and competition. How quickly we weary of earthly pleasures, desire for material things is endless, Man is never satisfied completely and pursue one goal after another. The something else he seeks is the Lord who alone can grant the lasting joy.” You see it’s measured by that feeling after meditation and the depth of it. Now your control of your environment again is built from that force field so we will see lights inside, we will see all the levels of being inside the various levels but don’t count on that as the advancement, count on this bliss that stays with you all the time because even when you lose that with a blow on their head, you never lose the bliss, you see? It’s a peculiar phenomenon, a man can get a blow in their head and go into a state of amnesia and lose all the inner experiences but he can’t lose the bliss, the very bliss will correct the amnesia, it has the power to pull it back, the very same bliss has the power to pull it back. 1:30 I think we got lots of work there but once you understand that your makeup, your structure is not a bad thing that this body is not something to be discarded, that it has all the potentials of unfoldment from the Son of Man state to the Son of God state then it becomes easy for you to accept obedience in the inner movements. Audience: I get a picture of two different people trying to unite but is that a good illustration of what you’re trying… Adano: The Son of Man and the Son of God? Audience: But then I feel like I’m standing on the outside looking and it all happened, where have I been? Adano: We are a three-fold mechanism: electrical, ideational, chemical. The electrical is the Lord of Karma, the ideational is the Son of God, you follow me? And the chemical is you, Son of Man. Now the three are important, each one is important, none is more important than the other that’s why they say it’s like a three legged stool, none of the three forces take precedence over each other, they have their particular function. The chemical part of you which is the Son of Man has it’s particular function, that’s the humanness of yourself. The electrical part which is the Karma (inaudible) storing up of the time cycles, that has a particular function. The ideational or the God part of you has its function. Now the purpose of them acting together as one is what this whole resurrected process is, it’s to bring these three forces in as one that’s why they call the word Yoga or union, yoking it by linking them together and let them work together, harnessing them so now you are not outside looking in or inside looking out, you are part of the process. See that humanness of you which is the chemical part of you is the part that is looking on and feeling that “well all these other things are working (inaudible)” but they say that unless we change the humanness of ourselves into a divineness of ourselves, we have to repeat the process over and over. So the butterfly from a caterpillar is a constant reminder that the chemical part or the humanness of ourselves must make this transition so it is there all the time as a reminder of the law. Audience: The thought comes that a diamond is made up of millions of years of pressure. Adano: All right now you have the understanding of the Diamond Body. See the Secret of the Golden Flower is this particular idea there is the technique in that, it’s a very simple technique and it has to do with the Holy Breath and people can read the book Secret of the Golden Flower and never find the technique in it yet there’s constant mention of the Holy Breath. Many of your mystical schools existing today these are the three things that are missing in them: the Holy Breath, the Holy Name, seeing the light and hearing the Sound Current yet all the mystical schools talk of a philosophy pertaining to going back to the Creator but the core of the thing how to make it work or shift gears inside that’s the whole thing that was missing and the initiates were the only ones that kept it that’s why they were called the Essenes or the essences. There of all the various religions there was always that essential group, the one of two of each that held on to the basic techniques so among the Hebrew people the Essenes were, among the Hindus the Yogis were it, among the Buddhists it was the Zen teachers who held onto it so there is that essential group, today is called the Initiate Life. Audience: The West just doesn’t have a hanging onto it. Adano: They’re not hanging onto it because you’ve got it to hang onto now. Audience: It just began there, compared to the others I guess we’re a young country. Adano: Yes in that sense but then we compare again to the people who are hanging onto it we’re pretty old because we come back to take care of it, we are the incarnates who know about it from a previous life. The oldest Souls coming back to preserve the spiritual light for the younger Souls caught up in their karma. Audience: You mean we’ve been here before? Adano: Yeah, this is not the first and last time. Audience: Is it true that that Souls come back with people they were with, the same circles? Adano: Yes, we have what is called the group karma and the group of growth just as much as we have the national karma and national growth and then we have the individual karma and the individual growth, they’re all part of it. We have to because you see there is what is called that bond or link of communication, we are interchanging… now here’s another thing to understand when a man marries a woman there is an interlocking of the auric fields. Now when three or four people get together as a group there is an interlocking of their aura fields, when four or twenty people get together to form a community there’s an interlocking with their aura fields, when 20 or 100 people get together to form a community there’s an interlocking with their aura fields. Now if a community starts interlocking with a thousand people, that’s an aura field building up but it starts off with two people building itself up so you have a group karma where 20 or 30 people can be in an airplane and that airplane can blow up that’s a group karma because they’re interlocking, they’re drawn back together. Now I remember a story when I was a boy, do you remember the woman called Lombard she was a actress, Carol Lombard and she died in an airplane crash and there was a letter left, she left a letter that she didn’t want to go on that plane but because it was an emergency she went, she was going on this plane but her our own inner self was against going it, she had a sort of premonition not to go but she’s going nevertheless and that was found after among her works in her belongings but there you can see how group karma was pulled, she had to be with that group of people to go. Now the Titanic is the same thing, the people on the Titanic were all grouped in and yet the captain had a premonition and a warning that something would have gone wrong with the ship. He was warned but he didn’t know how to react, he couldn’t accept that the ship was built that it would run into an iceberg the very first time but it was too late, by the time they had hit he knew that he was going to die on that ship. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well Lahiri Mahasaya said here in this book you know, one day He was meditating and He looked at his disciple and He says “I’m drowning off the coast of Japan in many bodies.” You know you read that in the Autobiography because of the sense of oneness. When you reach this state here which is called the patience level then the Christ Consciousness starts opening up, your sense of oneness feels it. One time myself and Margaret were meditating one morning and there was a boy, he and his friend were driving, two initiates were driving from New York to South Carolina and all of a sudden Margaret says, “Oh I feel so sick right in my left foot like if it’s broken” and she was driveing the car and I pull over the car and says, “What’s the matter?” She says “I’m feeling all over and I feel like my Tommy, the name Tommy coming.” So I knew my stepson was Tommy and thought he got it an accident or something so we sat down and we start tuning in and we can feel right in the left foot the pain and name Tommy coming in very strong so that afternoon we try to contact his real father but they couldn’t located him. Later on in the day we had a phone call from South Carolina that one of the initiates or two of them, one of them by the name of Tommy was in an accident with another one and the other boy’s name was Warren and that he was killed in the accident. 1:40 But this was interesting, Tommy broke his left leg, Warren was pinned under the wheel. He said to Tommy “the Masters are here, Margaret and Adano are standing here.” He says “but I am leaving, I don’t have anything to remain in this world, they’re taking me, the Master said my time is finished.” He says “before the ambulance gets here, I’ll go on in the meantime you keep quiet, don’t talk, and let me do the talking.” And all the time he was under this, there was no pain, he said he felt no pain but he was pinned under the wheel and he kept talking to Tommy describing what was happening on the inner realm and then by the time the ambulance got close, you can hear siren coming, he looked at Tommy and said “Well so long partner and he left.” Well this was Wednesday that Wednesday night we prayed and the Thursday morning myself, Margaret, a boy by the name of Bobby Johnson, and another fellow named Chuck, we were sitting down meditating. Chuck did not know of the incident, he came in and he saw Bobby Johnson sitting on a piano stool then Bobby got off the piano stool and sat on the floor but Chuck close the door from inside and pull the bolt so the door can’t be opened from the outside, just the four of us meditating. Halfway through the meditation I can see Warren, this is a Thursday, come right through the door come over to me, embrace me and go to the Margaret and embrace her, and go and sit on the piano stool in the lotus position and start meditating and after the meditation was over then Warren took off. Chuck opens his eyes and says, “Somebody’s missing.” So we says, “What do you mean somebody’s missing, there’s only four of us?” He says “No, there’s a guy walked in this room here and I locked that door and he came in and he hugged you, hugged Margaret, and he sat down over there and meditated, where is he gone?” I says, “What guy?” He says “I will swear that there’s a boy walked in here.” So I says “Well describe him to us.” Now he described Warren to a T and I says, “That’s an initiate just got killed yesterday.” Now that night we held a Bardo, a religious ceremony for the fellow and there were people present at the meditation, 12 people gave exact descriptions of Warren in the room standing up with the Masters at the meditation and they described how perfect because at the Bardo we asked for those who had any loved ones that passed over that were not initiates that they could call out the names and these 12 people described what they saw, they saw Warren walked in front of the four Masters and as they were calling out the names of their loved ones who had passed on, they saw these loved ones being pulled out of the darkness into the light and Warren was giving them instruction how to salute the Masters and then when the whole meditation was over, they all took off with the Masters and the friend said to us, “You need to tell me that loved ones remain in the darkness until they’re pulled out.” I said “Yes the darkness is in the realm of the karma, they stay there looking at the responsible karma they have, when they’re pulled out in what is called a Requiem Mass or a Bardo as it’s called, they are brought into the ring of light and then the Master takes on the karma now or sponsors it like you sponsor somebody at a bank, we extend them spiritual credit and sets them up in the reincarnation cycle so that they can reincarnate in a better home. In the case with Warren he’s not reincarnating, he’s just acting like a little altar boy for the Masters on the other side now but it was interesting for 12 people to see it and 8 other people heard music and they heard the angelic chorus singing in the room. Some could have seen it and some heard and it was interesting for them to have the experience because it taught them an interesting lesson that the initiate is linked to the Masters all the time and he’s not subject to the laws of karma. Though we have generated karma, our karma is mitigated or made easy for us to handle through the spiritual credit of the Master contact, it’s not in the same way that most people who are not initiates pass on and have to pay for their karma, this is the only difference so it’s an unusual life inside. Audience: Adano when you say that you decided to get all your karma at once how come a Master didn’t stop you? Adano: No, when you’re ignorant, you’re ignorant He’s not gonna stop you from stumping your toe, He’s gonna rub your toes after you’ve stumped it and then give you a good lesson in (inaudible). Well here was an interesting story, there’s a man you know he was an initiate and his teacher told him God is in everything and he took that to be his holy mantra and he went around repeating “God is in everything. God is in everything.” One day he’s walking through a bazaar and an elephant was coming along and the man who was riding the elephant kept shouting “Get out of the way, elephant gone mad. Get out of the way, elephant gone mad.” So he says “Well God is in everything, God is in the elephant, he won’t bother me.” So he kept on walking. Along came the elephant, wrapped his trunk around the man, took him, and threw him in a corner. He hurt himself, he was out cold and he when he came to he saw his teacher and some of his brother disciples, you know initiates, all rubbing his face and trying to get him some hot water to drink. So he said to his teacher, “What happened, what did I do wrong, I believe in what you are saying God is in everything.” He says “You stupid fool, didn’t you realize that God is in you, God is in the elephant, what about the God in the driver? You forgot that God too and the God is telling Get out of the way, elephant gone mad.” Audience: Adano, what characteristics did those people have to have to enable them (inaudible). Adano: Oh yes, they were initiates but they had spent a great deal of time in their own meditation, some of them would have been practicing meditation for a long time and before I met some of them they used to get these experiences, they were able to see certain things. Audience: That doesn’t come easy though. Audience: It does to some people but that’s not significant, is it? Adano: No that’s not significant. The important thing is that they can recognize it and it gives confirmation for people on the path you see. Audience: Adano, I have a question about the Soul, when the Soul reincarnates is this the entire Soul that had all these experiences before or is it a projection or a part of the Soul? Maybe I’m not making myself clear but I don’t quite understand this. Adano: Let me explain something, I’ll give you an example let’s say you have a dress and ink spills on it. Now you don’t wash it, every time you look at the dress what would you say to yourself? It has ink, right? Okay. Providing you don’t wash it, you’re always going to be reminded of the ink stain on the dress. Now you wouldn’t want to wear it every day because it looks kind of dirty to you and this will bother you, this ink spot on the dress will bother you but there comes a time that you have to wear that dress because the color is important for a particular occasion but you may have to wash out that ink stain and when you wash out that ink stain, some physical action is involved to wash it and press it so that you can wear it. Now it’s clean, you go to the banquet but in the mind you’ll always remember that it was once dirty by ink but it’s not bothering you to go to the banquet anymore, you can wear it with a free heart that nobody recognizes that it has been stained with in, only you know it. 1:50 The Soul is the same thing, it walks into this universe and takes over a physical body, the physical body makes all kind of mistakes like ink splattered on the dress, the dress now is the electrical body and the idea body so in one incarnation all the thought patterns and mistakes you’ve made in your chemical body are stored up in it, you leave the frame now and that chemical body is discarded so there comes a time when the chemical body would be necessary as a condition to work out that particular problem so you’re given a chemical body again but you remember that this dirt or this ink is still there at this particular occasion and you gotta wash it out so that chemical body is that opportunity of washing it out. Now as soon as you wash it out, the memory is only for you not for the others it’s like when you put on this washed dress now at this banquet, nobody sees where the ink was but you know where the ink was, you understand? So in your mind, in your cosmic mind, the memory of wrong actions from past life keeps coming back but in the physical realm no one sees that because they don’t know where that is but you are working it out by washing it out so this is what is going on all the time. So every time you wash off one only the retention of the impact is there but it’s not offending because it’s perfect for where it is. Every occasion you put on that dress, it’s perfect because no one sees a stain on it but only in your consciousness you remember how many times you stained it, how many times you had to wash it but that is not leaving any impact from the outside world or in the other realm to offend it. So equally true the Soul is coming back over and over to work out thought patterns in a chemical body and only the memory of it so when you say certain things happen in the past, you have to dig it up from the memory from the Akashic record that’s why we go into the Akashic record or the memory record to dig it up. So Masters will say “Don’t worry about the past, it done happened already, the important thing is take advantage of the clean dress now,” that’s the new body pattern that you have and work to that higher state of experience. Now you can do one thing with that dress that’s been stained, you can dye it and then you don’t have to worry about it no more you see, you can dye it into the color that the ink was or pick some particular color, it’s dyed and that’s what we call resurrecting, in that one opportunity you can change the whole thing now. So the Master is saying we have many impressions in the mechanism by desire but get one particular new desire now and change that whole thing into that one desire so to dye the whole mechanism into the Divine Love. Audience: Adano, I’m not sure I know what she’s talking about when the Lord says “leave tonight.” What was the vision of Fatima? Adano: Well the vision of Fatima is the young children that they saw this Virgin standing off here and it was appearing over (inaudible) indicating that the Jews and the world is going to be in tremendous pain and sorrow and it would come from the Middle East, third world war starts off, would trigger off from somewhere in the Middle East and a great deal of famine and tears of misery will come and that’s what the vision of Fatima was, warning the world that possible violence will start up again in the Middle East. Audience: What could be done about it? Adano: We gotta generate love, for the amount of hate that they’re generating we have to generate love. All right, all right in one camp in the Arab camp and in the Hebrew camp there is tremendous hatred and fears going over vibrating across each other but very little love is flooding the area. How many people are gathering in a group and thinking of that area and sending love, sending corrective force fields to lessen the impact of the hate and bring about some type of a negotiation or understanding. Audience: (Inaudible) …the Jewish people are praying. Adano: Yes they are praying, I’m not saying they’re not praying but that it needs another force apart from them who doesn’t take sides. They’re praying for their own security and much as the Arabs are praying for their security, he is establishing his rights and the Hebrew person is establishing his rights, now it needs somebody who is neither Hebrew nor Arab in rights, strictly a third force field of love and understanding to radiate in that area. Audience: It’s amazing how some of these areas of conflict geographically that have such a long duration: India, the Mideast, even Ireland. Adano: Good, now here’s an interesting thing, the Hindu and the Muslim from the time of Mohammad have not rescinded the hate, it has been continuous and it’s continuing right up to this day to the point where there became political aspects of Pakistan and India. Now equally true Irish the free state, look how long that is in existence but go take away the political aspect of the Irish free state and go back to the religious hate of Protestant and Catholic originating in the time of Henry the 8th, you see where it goes? The hate goes back till there you see and you have the same thing occurring in the Arab states from Ishmael and Isaac, the hate originated at that point. Now you have the same thing in China between the Communist and the Nationalists but where did that originate? That originated way back in Genghis Khan’s time, the northern Chinese never liked the Southern Chinese. Audience: Well how much love would it take to overcome them, it would take years and years. Adano: You see the cumulative hate in the atmosphere is so strong and we don’t have an era of a cumulative love. Now look at the history of Europe, the 100 year war you know that was a tremendous period of hate. Now take the time of William the Conqueror, out of hate he burnt a whole area called Nottingham because he wanted to squench the people and the invasion of Normandy from the William the Conqueror right through that whole period, the starting of the British Empire by William the Conqueror, that’s all hate. Audience: When do you see things (inaudible). Adano: There is no such condition Sheldon at present for what is called a total peace among men because Man has to discover himself first before he can have some period of peace. Now we may have what is called an enforced peace within certain areas of humanity but not in the total area of humanity, they is going to always be the cannibal, there is always going to be the semi-primitive, the semi-civilized, and then the civilized and there only be little areas of this peace falling in. Now if you look at when Jesus was on this Earth, there was only a little area of the Earth that got His vibrations of peace and even then it not enough. If He does come back again in this particular Aquarian Age, what areas of peace is He going to affect? This Maharaji Yogi boy, 16 year kid, from the time he’s starting is he affecting the whole world? His message is peace. Audience: You mean this young fellow who is in Washington? Adano: But even still he is not affecting the peace, even if the great Master Jesus come back, how many people is He going to affect? Audience: If he heals the blind or raises the dead this young boy, he would affect the peace. We’ve got communication systems now that we didn’t have in Christ’s time… Adano: Even so, when Sputnik went up the first time and the world saw it on TV and the man landed on the moon, how many people still believe it was a hoax? Audience: No literate person believes it was a hoax. Adano: Equally true, raising the dead the intellectual mind, the primitive mind all is still going to be against it. Peace is not something that spreads on a global scale
1972 May 6 - Part 1 Meditation Techniques
Adano72_05_06_1MeditationTechniquesQ1RR - Audience: The evening lecture is at the Mariner hotel at 67th and Atlantic, “Recognizing the Christ Consciousness” and that’s at eight o’clock. What a privilege it is to introduce our dear Swamiji, he needs no introduction to many of you but since his life is so interesting I want to read this again and share it also with those of you who are here for the first time. The Reverend Adano Christopher Ley is a native of British Guiana and came to the United States when he was 15 years old. He was brought up in the Roman Catholic church and studied for the priesthood before embracing the Eastern philosophies of his Mongolian father. He has done extensive research on the prayer healing techniques of the American and Canadian Indians and also spent time in Mexico with the Mayan and Aztec people. He is an ordained minister of the All Faith Fellowship in Tyler and is married to Margaret Ley, a practicing chiropractor and director of a Montessori school for children. They’re building a spiritual retreat and community there in Tyler. Reverend Ley was initiated into the ancient Yogic order of Saraswati in 1969 and that was after meditating for eight hours a day for 21 years. Saraswati indicates a spiritual path through the intellect and Nityananda suggests the characteristic of getting down to the fundamental details of truth, many of us call him Swami Nitty Gritty. I was reading through Yogananda’s book, “The Master Said” and picked this up, “Let this meeting house remind us of our own cathedral within and let us open our spiritual ears to hear the truth.” Swami Nityananda Saraswati. (Applause). Adano: Thank you. Before we start let us just calibrate our minds. (Short Meditation). Thank you. Meditation techniques for awakening consciousness, the first thing we must have a definition and this word is very difficult for most people to understand they say “How do I meditate, how do I awaken my consciousness, and how many types of meditation are there, and what is it going to do for me, is there any shortcut method to realization?” My answer it’s no, there is no shortcut method to realization but if you understand the mechanics then you can participate in an awakening and an unfoldment of your own consciousness. The word meditation is an acronym, that means it’s a word comprised of many other words utilizing the very first letter of the word and we are stuck with the unique science in a strange way all through the centuries to awaken consciousness. Let’s take the word meditation the first letter is “M,” we’re dealing with mind, this is a peculiar function of our being. According to Mr. Casey he said “mind is the builder,” well we do have mind, it’s kind of irritable, we do have mind or consciousness and unless we understand what mind and consciousness are, we don’t really get an experience. Mind can function as the five senses, mind can function as memory, logical computing, mind can function as intuition. We’re speaking of the totalness of mind hence we’re speaking of total consciousness and the oriental people believe that creation is total consciousness but not solely total consciousness, there must be a counterpart or some function to make it manifest and we look around ourselves and we see that science is in agreement that there is consciousness, there is this creative intelligence but there is also another part of existence that we are now trying to understand and that part is called energy. So we have “M-E” mind or consciousness, “E” energy. You know energy as the force in all substances in the East they may call it spirit or in the scriptures they call it spirit so these two things are actually existing and are responsible in myriads of ways for our creation or our physical existence, conscious energy. Now energy is not moving blindly, it is always moving and acting in a conscious way, you recognize consciousness in terms of symbols, ideas, thoughts only because you associate these ideas and thoughts. Well take for instance a snowflake, you look at a snowflake under a microscope and you see a geometrical formation but it’s not geometrical to you in your frame of reference until you had something to compare it with, if you did not see angles and movements, lines connecting themselves and having some meaning, they would be absolutely meaningless from mere observation that a snowflake would have geometrical lines. So telling yourself, that’s where we get the word “In-Tell-Ect” to tell back to yourself on a conscious level what is occurring as it is, is the first level of awareness, you cannot begin the first level of awareness until you tell yourself back. Now if you hit your leg, you don’t know what it means to you until someone tells you that that sensation is pain, they can tell you that sensation is joy and every time you bump yourself it’s joy and the next time you do like this and stretch your lips up they tell you that’s pain and you will go on doing that whenever they say it’s pain, you see? You will “In-Tell,” you will tell back to yourself what it means to you in terms from the environment. 0:10 Experiments have shown that if you take some eggs and put it in an incubator and hatch it and let no one of the chickens see any human being but you just put your hand inside the incubator, they haven’t seen their mother but they put their hand in the incubator and on their hand wear some gaudy looking stone, their first impression of that gaudy stone moving around touching them would make them feel that is mother, you take your hands out and put all the chickens on the floor and you know they begin to follow wherever that gaudy stone goes. You can put the stone on a mechanical gadget and let it move, they will totally ignore you to follow the stone. They are telling themselves back internally that is their first contact so consciousness is doing this to us via a retinal photography of the brain. Until we can understand this we don’t see why the third letter in the word meditation is important, we have mental or mind or consciousness, we have energy the force field, now “D” direction or distribution. Energy is not stagnant, it’s moving, it’s constantly distributing itself, constantly manifesting and behaving according to some pattern or rhythm so our universe as it appears to us is the result of this distribution process going on. Not too long ago some scientists have come to the conclusion that this is a universe based on a triune principle, the scriptures a long time ago said this whole universe is a trinity in a unity, a three-in-one God but that was for religion it was not for science. Until we saw the birth of the geodesic dome we did not begin to think in terms of a triune force field not a three-dimensional universe but a triune force field but everything centers on consciousness which is idea (id?) then the necessary output energy then the sustained force of that energy how it is being utilized. If you buy a house that’s the idea you have in your mind, it’s a desire. How you take care of it inside, that’s the output energy and if you go in and out of it daily that’s how you are utilizing it. You don’t live in your house all the time and you don’t live outside of the house all the time and your mind relates to your home when you’re away from it and your mind relates away from it when you’re inside the home. You’re busy thinking of the restaurant away from your home while you’re in the home and you’re thinking of your home while you’re in the restaurant at the same time, see how your mind is flipping back? You’re never staying in the area where the body is most of the time. Now here we are in this room, we’re in this room, we came here with a certain desire, motivation, we are partaking yet the mind was restless prior to entering the room for the brief moment you sat down, the mind is still relating to outside, the mind is not relating here, it is not distributing the energy necessary to stay here. As the mind becomes aware of where it is in terms of the physical body then we have now a distribution process going on inside, until we accept this, we will not be able to shift into levels of consciousness naturally. It is natural to shift into levels of consciousness, we do this all the time and don’t recognize it. Alright we have mind or consciousness, we have energy, we have direction or flow so the energy is moving according to the pattern that is set up. Now the next letter is “I” and this is the first thing we hear when we philosophically approach meditation, “Don’t bother about your I,” your little I and this is the first I. It’s true from the philosophical level we are not too concerned with our individual “I” yet in another school of thought it tells you “You must worry about your I, it’s all there is, it is you. You must devote more time to this I because there’s nothing else accept yourself as you are.” Then these two schools of thought are in conflict to push the I away or to emphasize the I and let us see what the Yogis tell us. They say both are necessary if we understand the next letter in the word meditation otherwise it would not be necessary, you can eliminate one and keep the other, you can eliminate the I and live without it or you can eliminate the idea of not having an I and live with the idea having an I but it’s the next letter in the word that makes all the difference, “T” thinking. This is the only important true function of the mechanism, to think, as a man think in his heart that is what he is, it is thinking that makes it important. You go to sleep, thinking is shut down in certain levels and if you do dream you are still thinking but if you’re not conscious that you’re dreaming that doesn’t say you’re not thinking, thinking is still going on, it’s going on in levels that you’re not totally aware of but it’s going on just the same. When you wake up the mind thinks, it has to relate, it has to distribute energy, it has to consciously move itself and exert willpower but at the same time this thinking that is going on in you is dualistic, that’s where we get the next letter now “A” activity. We have an outward action and we have an inward action, we will see now why the thinking and its activity determines the little “I” being important, not important, or it’s the collective function of the “I.” The activity that’s going on in the brain are millions and millions, just to give you an example of how this activity is an asset or a detriment to the I. You go to work tomorrow and the boss tells you “John you’ve been so long with us, we are very very pleased with your work, we’re going to give you a raise” and automatically your “I,” your whole mental world pattern starts expanding, everything becomes cheerful, rosy, and possible. 0:20 Let’s reverse the process, you go to work tomorrow and they tell you “John you’ve been so long with us and we’re totally disgusted with your work, we’ll have to let you go.” Now your whole I starts to crumble, you see only one escape out of this, suicide, see what happens? The “I” now is suddenly made to fall apart, before it was made to grow now it seems to collapse. We realize that we are a victim of this interplay of the thinking and we are not in full control of the “I.” If we are in full control, we would go on towards harmonizing with the environment, synchronizing with it, and make a new change a new alteration in consciousness. All right, we have “M” which is mind or mental, “E” which is energy going through you, “D” which is direction or distributing, “I” which is the individual ego, “T: is a thought or the thinking functions of the mind, “A” the activities the interplay, they’re dualistic. Well let’s see now this activity principle, here we get caught up in the mental block of a free will and a Divine Will: we can think, we can act therefore we’re free agents, we can choose and nobody has the right to tell us what to do and therefore who is God, who needs Him? The thinking has reached a point where there is no need to rely on a Divinity because the thinking has suddenly out analyzed itself and we are now the victims of over self-analysis in the interplay of thought activity, we come to what is called a dead end in the thought play, there is no more hope and like one great actor said “Life is boring therefore I’ll blow my brains out.” He has reached the end of the interplay but to the spiritual Man that is the first prerequisite to be a disciple. When you reach the end of the thought play, the game play inside and come to what we call total frustration, this is the readiness of a disciple. When I asked my teacher one time for Paramahansa Yogananda in a letter “What constitutes readiness in the disciple?” In the East they say “When a student is ready, a Master will appear.” Well I had the wrong illusion or notion that readiness meant I should do everything possible, clean up, get ready, and he is there and then he touched me on the head and he says “Hi boy, you did a wonderful job now you don’t have to worry.” Then he wrote me back a simple letter with one word this way, this way, this way, the one word “frustration” then I knew I was ready because a Master is only one who has overcome frustration. He has no more frustrations, he has mastered the interplay of the “I,” the thought activity inside therefore they do not lead him to frustration levels of behavior. Once mastering it or getting out of the maze of the frustration levels of feeling, one begins to enter now new levels of feeling in consciousness, meditation is to open up for us new levels of feeling and behavior in order to transform the physical form so we come to the next letter in the word meditation “m-e-d-I-t-a-t” that is now the time cycle towards something. That is the most aggravating period, the time cycle in meditation. You may start out today and after 40 years of assiduous meditation you say to yourself you’re a failure and after 100 years more you’re still a failure, after 100 lifetimes you still say it’s a failure, when would this culmination point ever occur? The time cycle, not enough time to meditate, everybody is bugging me “I want to meditate, I want to go off and meditate” so? You know peculiar behavior, you recognize some people in your friends? Time, he is the guy that’s whipping you along and in the Eastern teaching they call him “Kal,” you might as well call him “Satan” too, it is that particular function that hangs heavy on the mind, we want instant this, instant that, instant this but when it comes to meditation and altering consciousness, it doesn’t work that way. This is the first time you learn that time must work for you and not you to work for time, it’s a reverse. Years ago I used to always be late and people would be aggravated and every time I was late I’d hang heavy in my thoughts, “I’ll be late, I’ll be late.” So one day I says “why am I beating my brains out, can’t they ever be late too? Is it not possible for them, are they that hundred percent mechanical, accurate, perfect machine punching the clock without failure, even a computer breaks down and a human being is the most delicate computer, he can be off.” I says “From now on, they are late, whenever I arrive it’s early enough for everybody.” (Laughter) Strange thing, I’ve seen too many evidence of this phenomenon, of late and being early, it all comes together, you may say coincidence but there are no coincidence, it is the thought and the action. Realizing the mechanics, realizing the environment or the sphere of behavior you’re working with, for the first time we can now have some tangible experiences in meditation. The next letter is “I,” “m-e-d-I-t-a-t-I.” You notice this word has only two “I”s, the first I is very individual, egotistical, or self-centered and does not have much to do with a higher principle of behavior but it’s the first one you come in confrontation with, the second “I” is the real “I.” Now you go into Yogic studies or metaphysical studies they always tell you “Try to find the real I, try to understand the I of Jesus, ‘I and My Father are one’ I, I, I, I.” Alright the real “I” how does that real “I” work in us? If we want to recognize it then it must have some behavior, if we don’t recognize it, it has no behavior for us, it’s just another word and in fact if you were to paint yourself into the corner of your mind with all the verbs and adjectives in the various languages of the world, there’s only one word will get you out. Think of it, only one word in all the languages of the world will get you out of the corner of your mind, remember frustration is being painted into a corner, you were painting this room and that’s the door and if you paint it up to here there and is no door here you won’t get out, you’ll be standing there looking at the wet paint. Thought activities or thinking relationships are like that in the brain, we want to get out to a new insight or a new level of awareness but we have placed a whole display of verbs, adjectives in front of us never truly getting out. The only way we can get out is like the Zen Buddhist who said to the boy when he was reaching out for him, the boy was hanging on a limb and he looked down and he saw the bottom of the mountain and all that he’s holding on is with a little limb sticking out at the edge of the cliff. He said, “If you let go you’ll be nothing but a mess of bones and all you need to liberate yourself is to say I.” 0:30 Well think of it, “I” every time you say “I” there’s an influx of energy, the moment he was told to say “I” he broke the illusion of his helplessness and how much he could relate and alter his consciousness via the hands to the limb, the limb would absorb his consciousness and retain enough strength to hold the boy till the other man would give enough time to reach and pull the boy up, it was a matter of time play but if he panicked his “I” will start to diminish in his hands and then the rock will start to loosen up, the branch would come down, and he’ll go on down to the ground, there would not be enough time for the other man to draw him up but because he was told by the teacher “say I,” I would start a reinforcement in you, it will start a sudden flow of force in your field of existence or awareness and you will go beyond the sensory nature. This real “I” is called the intuitive “I” in you, the “I” that knows independent of the senses, for the first time you can sense something beyond the normal range, intuition is that ability to know independent of the senses. In meditation this is what we are trying to release, we are trying to release the intuitive nature in order for it to observe where we are and after we observe then we can become one with it or identified with it. So in Eastern teachings they tell us meditation is a twofold nature that is exists with seed and no seed. Well a seed is an object, no seed is no object what they’re trying to say is this, that when you are meditating on yourself you can either be objectively looking or you can be objectively absorbing or becoming one so there is the difference between sensing as an observer or sensing as part of the thing. So intuition is what we’re trying to awaken in meditation so intuition of what? The next letter is “O,” this “O” is dualistic, observation of ourselves as we are and oneness of ourselves as we really are, it’s to be one for the first time, one with the vital life impulse. Now we can see this condition in terms of Consciousness and Beingness, when you observe something of yourself you are conscious, when you are being yourself there is no consciousness and this happens when you have mastered something. When you start out to drive a car you’re very conscious of how many people are around you, the shifting of the gears and everything, very very conscious, very very oversensitive. As soon as that consciousness dips down into what you call con-fi-dence or you become com-petent, when consciousness now shifts into the levels of Beingness you are now for the first time letting go of the ultra sensitivity of yourself and flowing. Therefore it comes second nature is another term, you tell yourself in-telling yourself, you see you’re telling back to yourself what has happened to you, you are actually relating back to yourself, “Hey wait a minute, for a moment I was pretty nervous, now I’m not nervous” but the fine line between extra nervousness and no nervousness or calmness, how did it happen, who changed it, who suddenly made this sudden shift and erased all this sudden fear out of our minds, how did it suddenly move over from a sensory nature of being conscious to all of a sudden a nature “I know, so what am I worrying about, I can drive” and the first thing you shout is “Ah I can drive, I know, I can do this, I can do that.” Why? Because it has precipitated into the Beingness of you from a conscious level, your consciousness has suddenly shifted into the Beingness of you, you are now flowing for the first time. This takes time I admit otherwise we’d all be living in that state just like the chicken in the egg, we are all conscious of the fact that eggs are responsible for chickens and at the same time we argue that chickens are responsible for eggs. Alright where is the egg, where is the chicken? Nobody wants to admit that the mother hen’s heat is responsible for the whole thing, she has to sit down on that egg otherwise no chicken is going to come out and then the chicken, she knows exactly how long to sit on the egg for 21 days and then all of a sudden the egg breaks open, out pops out the chicken. We are seeing consciousness and beingness, we are seeing a shift between observation and the oneness, for the first time we are seeing this movement inside, this is an intuitive pull within ourselves. The last letter in the word meditation is “N,” noumena not phenomena, it’s a big difference between noumena and phenomena, phenomena we are aware of by a constant observation of creation around us, there are always waves of phenomena changing and changing all the time but coming into noumena it is the actual transition of this mechanism, the reality of who you are. So we can sum up meditation as a descriptive way to ourselves as Mental Energy Directing Individual Thinking or Thought Activities Towards an Intuitive Observation and Oneness with Noumena. Having this understanding for the first time it frees us from a whole host of mental doubts about ourselves then we can start the process of technique and use but until that time technique is absolutely futile, use again is limited because if you don’t handle the mechanics we can’t work with it. If we don’t know how to turn the ignition switch in a car and understand how the gears shift inside, we would be absolutely frustrated in trying to drive a car. The first time you go to learn you have to learn it’s A-B-Cs, its mechanics, and the driver who is teaching you has to tell you that this is forward, this is first, this is second, this is third, this is reverse and how you press in the clutch and release, now you have automatic transmission but even that again is total flow. Meditation is the same, if we understand what is happening around us, what this shell of life or environmental existence is comprised of, then it becomes possible to flow into it. Before we got into this shell, we were traveling along a certain thought pattern in terms of prayer, if ever there is a frustration level we resort to prayer and when the prayer don’t work, we get a little bolder and we resort to analysis, we start analyzing, we start picking ourselves apart, do you recognize it? As soon as you’ve got some frustration level, the first thing you want to pray and when you find that don’t work now you say, “to heck with the prayer, let me get down to some tangible activity,” nature’s pushing you to analyze it, “why am I this, why am I that, what is its cause?” Then after a while you get some relief but then it comes back again, it’s not releasing itself totally, it’s not discharging itself out of your system, the frustration is not going away, the hostility is not going then you come to the next level that is meditation. All right we understand the mechanics, now we need technique. Prayer is a Soul’s S-O-S, (laughter), you know what an “S-O-S” is? It’s a distress signal transmitting that you’re drowning but you need help, you’re drowning in the ocean of words. 0:40 All of us are drowning in the ocean of words which make up behavior patterns for us: kill, walk, talk, steal these are words but they have behavioral patterns, behavioral movements, we are drowning in them, we need help who are we telegraphing to? We’re telegraphing to intuition, the guy who don’t make no mistakes and knows the exact word to pluck out like a lifebelt and pull you out of this ocean of words so you don’t drown. So he said “if I only had the right word or the right idea, I wouldn’t be in this predicament right now, I’d know exactly what to go and do.” We’re telling ourselves that all the time, well who do we want to give it to us? The psychic has his opened up when we don’t open ours so we have to rely on the psychic or we have to rely on some other person who has his intuitive nature opened up. Why not open your own? This is what the whole thing is. We say now “prayer is only the Soul’s way to telegraph or transmit outwardly for help to the intuitive nature” so we can sum up prayer simply as the privilege of the Soul to communicate with its Creator on a S-O-S basis, that is on a projective basis. Very few of us communicate with the Creative Source on a receptive basis, a receptive basis of communication is adult prayer, juvenile prayer is transmission, adult prayer is reception, you know it now as meditation. Meditation is trying to receive not trying to transmit, you’re not transmitting in meditation, you’re trying to receive so technique must be based upon the mechanics involved. Jesus taught people how to pray, He told them when they want to pray go into the innermost chamber which is a toilet or middle room in the house or some other area but that’s projecting out. Bringing it back in is what is important, how do you bring this energy back in? If you don’t know the technique you can’t bring it back in, you can go around in circles thinking you’re meditating and most of us think we are meditating, no one is going to tell them they’re not. You know good many people take meditation and all they’re doing is like sticking a key into an ignition switch of a car and turning it on, never shifting the gears but the car is running and they’re going, we’re going someplace, you ever see that? They’re going someplace yes, it’s all going someplace but the car is never going anywhere, sooner or later the gas runs out and then meditation becomes a very futile thing. It runs out because it does not satisfy what truly is involved, it does not get into the true regions of the consciousness. The car may go through all types of vibrations and feel in itself that it’s going someplace, we do have this we have a whole host of imaginary travels when we turn on the ignition switch of a car and go to a place even to the extent you go to those little Coney Island place and you know they turn it on and let you bump around but somebody there hase a big major switch when he knows to shut it off and all the equipment stop, this is as far as we get with it. When we go in to meditation we are trying to receive for the first time therefore technique is a necessary process. Now if the teachers of truth did not give us technique then we would be wasting our time, they did give us techniques, very simple techniques, it’s so simple that we don’t even recognize it. The very first technique they gave us was to look inside and we can quote Master Jesus, He said “When the eyes are single, the whole body is full of light.” I was speaking earlier about energy, we’re talking of energy as light now, Jesus is talking of the same energy as light, atomic physics, He’s not talking of random words. This whole universe is a play, a retinal photography on the brain relating to atomic physics and it’s the first time you see creation as it is in light as you look inside, you are a miniature universe in a bigger universe, you are this light inside, right in here when the eyes are centered. Now as you look the light takes different shapes and different colors but Jesus went on to elaborate on the technique, He says “The light is shining in the darkness” that means the light is already glowing in you, you don’t turn it on, you have nothing to do with turning it on, all you have to do is recognize it and observe it as it occurs in your brain. This is why when you go to a movie house you don’t tell the people who sell you the ticket what type of program they should run on their screen, the program is advertised outside, you pay your money, you sit down, and you let them play the program for you to look. Equally true God has advertised His program, it’s called Cosmic Awareness, seeing creation as it is for the first time inside you mechanism, cosmic light in the myriad shapes and atomic movements mathematically moving color-wise sound and everything, all going to play inside of you. This is the first time you’re going to experience it, you’re going to go in and experience it. Now if you don’t have the experience you don’t know what it is, you can be assuming a lot of it, it’s when you go inside and start to see it for the first time coming in, this light is shining inside but it’s shining in the darkness of the brain. Now many people say “how is that possible?” Well you hit them on a nose bridge and they see light, who put the light there? Now that light seems very insignificant to them that this can be God, they never give it a chance to reveal itself and that’s where the workload comes in, it’s the next part of the technique. “Let your light so shine before men that they may see the good works and glorify the Father which is in thee.” You got to work at it, you’ve got to actually bring this light to the surface, you’ve got to make this thing work inside, you’ve got to constantly merge with this light in order for this light to open up and as soon as it open up, it will flow out through you. Now if you’re in doubt as to that, that is where usage comes in now, how are we going to use this light, where are we going to use it, how are we going to recognize that we are… (gap in tape) …got out of it. The person who is constantly crying about their frustrations is making progress so don’t knock your frustrations they are necessary, as long as you recognize them you’re making progress. You need that frustration, you need that agony to give you more drive, more push, more devotion to overcome, this is what they call “the good works” now, you’re churning. Meditation is reception. Now if you’re going to say a four and a half hour movie, there’s an intermission period if there is, if there’s none you have to sit through the four hours and you may squirm all the way through and you may be aggravated all the way through, you may go into some of the feelings of the movie, you may even say “Move, watch out, he’s going to kill you!” You may even get so engrossed with the act, “watch out there’s a car coming!” I’ve seen it that people get into the act. Equally true inside, this gradual need for identification begins to occur. As we look inside more and more, we can become one with the movement. Becoming one with the movement is the whole essence of the movie, it is the whole essence of this existence, becoming one with it because you are participating for the first time, you are not merely an observer but you are participating. Meditation is to help us to participate on a receptive level of the inward movements of our makeup. Now here is an interesting experience for some of us, who is in this room has never had a disappointment can you raise your hand? All right, everyone has had disappointments right, can you remember the first one? When they wanted to buy you something from Santa Claus and then they couldn’t afford it and then they said, “No we didn’t buy it” and then you get all angry? All right we’re going to use meditation now, how are we going to use meditation to alter consciousness? 0:50 Most people want to meditate so that they can be God-realized, that it’s true we become God-realized through meditation but using meditation on a level where it is going to help us now to work out some of the deep-rooted, deep-seated shocks, feelings, that aren’t coming out and you look at your neighbor and says “I forgive you” but in a biological level you can’t forget them, every time you see them it’s agony. So this is what we’re talking about, meditation now being a media of receptivity to clean out some of the ingrained patterns in the mechanism, trying to use it now on a tangible basis. Think of your disappointment so if you’re thinking of it you have to close the eyes and recall it. If you recall it, you can observe it, wait until you can re-identify with it. If you can re-identify without disappointment a strange phenomenon will occur now, you will shift over from observation into oneness and the pain will come back. As soon as the pain come back, as soon as that pain returns to you then you will find if you can flush it out of your system, if you can actually use meditation now to flush this out from your system, if you can draw from your survival makeup which is the God in you or the intuitive level make up in you and bring this agony out on a conscious level and really release it, you have done the first real meditation that is of value to yourself. Health which is vitality, health which is awareness or shifting of consciousness has begun for the first time, you have shifted a level of consciousness from the one point of isolation to another point of flow, you’re no longer mentally or biologically relating to an agony that is there, for the first time you are releasing it, it’s flowing out from yourself. Take one disappointment, we ask ourselves what should we meditate on, many people ask that, some people “I should meditate on God, I should do this. All right what is God for all of us? God is bliss, the highest experience possible that Man can have in his physical mechanism as a human being. Bliss is joy, we don’t pray to God for more suffering yet we have suffered a great deal by our over exposure to environment. We are given a process of how to unlock the joy in us, how to release the joy in us, how to transcend these shocks, these particular pain relationships from our inner mechanism and if you take one disappointment, just think of one no matter how insignificant, and let it flow out of your system you have altered, you’ve actually shifted your consciousness on an actual level inside to produce now joy. It’s the uses of meditation that must become simple now, if we don’t simplify their uses then it’s up in never never land. We can say transcendental meditation, we are avoiding all our pains and going off into some region, true and fine, pin it down to what is actually occurring inside and objectively look at it then you wouldn’t need the words, the flowery words to hide behind. You’ll see now for the first time you are consciously shifting out of your mechanism levels of agony frustration into levels of joy with relaxation and when this occurs you’ve got real-ization, something real, concrete occurring within you as a result of a shift of the feedback within your mechanism for the first time. There is no pain flow, you have taken a condition that has given you pain and agony, you look at it for the first time, observe it, and then you have resolved it by the receptivity of the consciousness to look at it. God is there, He’s not a person telling you what to do, He is that vital life power locked up in you waiting to be released from the very disappointment, the very grief to a surface level in terms of joy. Now most people know that when they go to church and do confession, you know the ancient days they say you must come and confess, somebody has done you something and there’s agony inside and if you talk it out you release it. Meditation is to bring this to the surface, something that is done in there and bring it to the surface and release it when it’s released it’s over. Anyone who is meditating will tell you after a long time they are becoming more and more peaceful, more and more conscious, stronger and stronger within. The evidence of a valid meditative growth is the strength to face the interplay of the thoughts in your consciousness daily, this is the evidence of a real meditative growth, the inner strength to face the thought play that is occurring in your consciousness every moment then you know without doubt, without anybody interceding or dominating your consciousness, you have unraveled the actual force, the actual power, spirit, the divine impulse, and bring it to the surface to give you that conscious release. In other words you would be fulfilling this parable of the prodigal son, you are looking at the object or the problem halfway within yourself by facing it and God the vital power, life itself, is meeting you halfway by releasing you from it. If you got any ache or pain in you or any doubt or anxiety or somebody who you haven’t forgiven then put meditation to the test on a practical tangible basis, not just merely saying “oh I forgive them and I pray Lord forgive them, forgive them” it don’t work that way. We have to go inside and look at the thing and see it and then try and release it. When we can identify again the flow out is possible, the agony will go out and the tension will go out because this is the actual uses of good meditation. We want to meditate on God with Creative Intelligence coming into us but we must also realize that when we meditate we are on the receiving end, the receiving end is bliss but before we can have bliss, we’re gonna have more pain. Many people who have gone through genuine meditation break down in tears, some people say “How can that be? I sit down I’m supposed to be very peaceful after my meditation.” Yes you do have peace if you just sit down and don’t have any interaction this is a form of immunization, nothing is really occurring inside yet. When you really get in and take some problem and try to relive that problem and then try to release that problem and feel the end result of that problem being true bliss, you are never bothered it and in fact whoever that person is they’re getting a healing too and you’re getting a healing. Meditation brings in a healing as an actual force field when we identify with any problem and live it out again. We can do this in terms like Shakespeare, Shakespeare said this, “The world is but a stage and we are merely actors, we have our entrances and exits.” Good, somebody done you something put yourself in their shoes for a brief moment in your mind and see how it feels. How it feels for them to do you something and how it would feel for you to do them back something. You know we’re so wonderful people, I wouldn’t strike my neighbor because Jesus said “Turn your left cheek and the right cheek” but you know we’re a bunch of hypocrites? You want to strike so badly so desperately you kid yourself into death when in reality this inner mechanism has to release itself some way. We don’t have the right to go kill anyone or we don’t have to physically go hit them on their head but we can psychologically recycle this attitude by an inward meditation according to the rules of Madison Square Garden and Jesus Christ is the referee. 1:00 Put the other guy in your shoes and you get a good pair of hands and give him a good whacking and always remember Jesus says don’t kill him and get it out of your system, it’s all right, you’re released because this empathy, this feeling, this remorse has a chance to go out but you don’t have physically to go and hit him on the head, you can see this in your consciousness for the first time. That which you have suppressed, you reverse the role and look at it now for the first time objectively and then feel what it feels like, the feeling that you were subjected to, you know them because you retain them. Now turn it around and see that other person going through the squirming, it’s only an image play but in the end it’s played it’s release, it’s freedom. Meditation now brings peace because it will dissolve itself, the peace will flow for the first time and you may break down with a hearty cry, big as you are or small as you are you release and when we cry, we’re happy because it gets it off the chest. Thank you. (Applause). Are there’s any questions that you’d like to ask. Audience: Let’s have a five minute break first then come back. (Gap in tape). Someone had a question they wanted to ask, yeah? Audience: You’re in meditation. Adano: Yes. Audience: And you recall something which has been bothering you, you look at this first objectively then identify yourself with this inwardly so that you actually feel the same distress and unpleasant feelings you had before about this situation then what is the next step, what is the next thing you do to let this go? Adano: Well I said before you are like in Madison Square Garden and the referee is Jesus, you have to have someone who must know the rules all the way from start to end and you have a confrontation, you see the person with you in front of you, you’re reversing the roles, you know how it felt to be hurt by them so you are giving back that as a release. It’s like boxing and you’re boxing according to the rules you know, the umpire comes in there or the referee comes in and says “Now gentlemen this is according to the rules” and you spar and get off and now and you go off into your corner and it’s resolved on the decision of forgiveness. It’s an inward forgiveness that must come from a level of respect. We say to ourselves we forgive people, verbally true we do, biologically we don’t, deep down in our survival mechanism we would like to clobber the guy on the head but because we are not allowed by society to do that anymore, we don’t do it so we suppress it. In ancient days you’d walk with your war club and wait to find them in a dark alley and clobber the fella but then you don’t have a refereeing or a sort of a point of reference for equalization so the agony stays on and you get more and more frustrated and life becomes very very difficult in terms of making decisions. Your decisions are totally thrown into all streams of internal conflict to a point where you can’t decide no more. All right, if you have Christ and His approach to the problem then you can resolve it. Remember He said “Forgive them for they know not what they do.” By slugging it out inside then when you’re totally released of the agony you’re going to feel this sudden rush of a want and then relating to Christ as the forgiving principle, first you’re forgiving the other man and you’re forgiving yourself and both of you are forgiving each other in a way tears will start to flow and you are releasing yourself. This is what we call recognizing the Christ consciousness in you, that’s tonight’s lecture, that’s one of the ways you recognize it, this inward release that comes from an intimate participation in a meditation not just a mere meditation where you observe something and do not become part of the process. When something has intimately occurred in you to alter some level of feeling or conscious awareness in terms of release, you have tapped the true inner Christ in yourself. Yes? Audience: So how does this awaken intuition? Adano: It awakens intuition because for the first time you’re going to be aware of that person feeling it in release and you’re going to have a sort of a feeling of knowing independent of the senses and if you do meet that person, they would be the first one to start making some reaction to you without you trying even to impress them. That means it has transcended your five senses to communicate back to them a release and you may say “a miracle” if they suddenly turn around and start a conversation with you on a more friendly basis. You would not recognize it but those who have had the experience can tell you a month may not go by before you suddenly find that person is coming knocking at your door looking you up and you may not know why he’s looking you up or want to talk to you or her but they seem to be drawn or both of you seem to be drawn for the first time in close proximity. For years you may not even have anything to do with that person, you can’t say it’s coincidence now, you’re entitled to say that if you want that these two people suddenly meet in such a short space of time after this internal release and then on a verbal level have a friendly communication and the old hurts are suddenly diminished and they may be the first one to make excuses for ever having hurt you. Audience: Is that what you call intuition? Adano: It’s the highest form of intuition, it knows independent of the senses, they don’t know it, you recognize it, you know it and for the first time it pulls, it’s knowing from within yourself independent of the senses that they have been released. If you know from inside that you hurt me and you have this release go out, wherever I am I will feel it, this is a peculiar awareness. Audience: That’s ESP, isn’t it? Adano: Well what is ESP and what is intuition? Extra Sensory Perception is the word called “ESP.” How many senses do you have? Audience: Five. Adano: All right intuition is knowing independent of the senses. HHow many senses do you have? All right so if you have five senses and for the first time you know independent of them, their extra function. The word extra don’t mean you have an added function, it means for the first time that these functions have been speeded up. In other words the term acceleration is the correct interpretation of these forces. My five senses are limited to here right? Now if I wanted to go into an accelerated state I would know what’s going on outside without having to go outside and you may use the term extra sensory but there is no extra sense, it’s an accelerated function of those senses. Take a microscope, a microscope is only a magnification of something you don’t see with the ordinary range of the eyes and then you see someone who doesn’t have a microscope to work with can suddenly see the microbes, how does he see it? By magic or because the magnification on the acceleration of sight to suddenly allow him to see what you would not normally see and would need a microscope to see. 1:10 Or a telescope is the same thing, telescoping/microscoping are extensions of your five senses, x-ray and radar and all these are extension of the five senses to the range of where the normal sense does not communicate back but when accelerated for the first time can pick up so intuition is an acceleration, it’s a knowing independent of the senses. I’ll give you another illustration of what I’m talking about have you ever seen a venetian blind? Alright when the blind is down you have the slots right? If you turn one slot what would happen to pass through if there’s sunlight outside? A little light will pass through one slot right? All right you turn a second slot, you have a little more light coming into the room right and gradually every slot you turn you have more light coming in. Through your five senses you are allowing light to pass through into your mechanism and by turning these slots you can have light. Now if you pull the blind in such a way that all the slots are open, for the first time you will have a great flood of light in the room but there is always a shade or a shadow because the slots are like that, they’re blocking so whatever light that passes through it will look like it’s slightly diffused, it’s not 100% pure light there’s always that shade. So sometimes people with extra sensory abilities don’t have the true picture but nevertheless they do have understanding of what is passing through. Now take the cord and pull the whole blind right up to the top of the ceiling and let all the light flood right through. Now we have for the first time intuition, knowing now totally independent of the senses because you have to yank this consciousness out and shut up all the slots of that venetian blind and pull it all the way up and let the whole light flood in. Now Jesus is teaching us this by the very fact He tells us in meditation and He’s saying it “What it prophet a man to gain the whole world and lose his Soul?” We can have these psychic abilities like the finger, like your slots the light will pass through here but it’s blocked wherever a slot is, only that much is passing. It is when you move away the finger you have the whole force field so we say shut down the senses for the first time and let the light pass through. As you shut down the senses, the light will pass through, meditation is to help you to shut down the senses that it will perceive and you are seeing it from inside of yourself now for the first time independent of the senses. Audience: And the way to do this is to keep releasing all these things then the light can shine through? Adano: Yes for the first time you’re becoming a human being because if you keep the suppressed thoughts in you, those thoughts will eat away at you and you are no longer going to act like a human being, right? Now didn’t Jesus said you must forgive your fellow man and if you’re going to forgive, you have to release it all to be whole, complete, human? It’s essential to let it out, very very important to let it out before it can release you. Spirituality is health at its highest when it’s released, there are no hostilities in there now. Audience: And this took eight hours a day? Adano: It can take more than a lifetime lady. Sometimes many of us can break through it you know, many of us may not be able to break through some of those things. Audience: And speaking of seeing the light, does it help to actually physically turn the eyes inward and it just sufficient to concentrate the energy. Adano: No you have to close the lids, it’s like going to a movie house they shut down the light in the movie house in order to project on the screen. Well if you shut down the eyelids but don’t fall asleep this is what we’re trying to get across to our minds, do not fall asleep you just shut down and watch. Now while you’re watching inside, the light will start to manifest inside and as you watch the light now you don’t tell the light anything. So what you’re really doing inside is like this, “From TV station J-O-Y, program L-O-V-E is coming in to S-O-U-L in the form of L-I-G-H-T / S-O-U-N-D.” Audience: I mean physically I’ve seen some photographs of Yogi physically putting their eyes up like that, is that helpful? Adano: There are three positions that the eyes can be in: down, up, or forward. Now technically speaking when you observe the individual when he’s hypnotized, the eyeballs have a tendency to turn up, he’s in a different range of awareness. Now when he’s looking out in the outer realm, his eyes are wide expanded out. Now when you’re asleep and you’re not dreaming, the eyes have a tendency to turn down, when you’re dreaming it starts pulling back up. Now if you’re in a trance, the eyes will pull themselves up, if you’re not in a trance and you’re just merely closing your eyes and cat napping, the eyeballs will go down. So if you say the Yogis have their eyes up, it’s only a physiological pull. Now this is a strain on the brain for most people because they’re not accustomed to being in that state, we’re trying to impart to you don’t force the eyes up too quick and if you look at paintings of Saints, you ever look at their eyes, what position are their eyes in? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Why? Because when you start out looking forward and you close your eyelids, sooner or later the light seems to be just above the nose bridge and it seems to taper up and you want to look slightly at a 45 degree angle, the light is always here at this point, it’s not dead center here, it’s just about this point. So if you see the image of Buddha with a little knob on his forehead, you may think it’s a mole but it’s a representation of the third eye and it’s just a slight elevation point that you’re looking at but don’t force it. When you close the eyes nature itself will pull the eyes up slightly to let you look at it and that’s what you’re looking at. It will pull itself, you do not have to force it. Anything else? Audience: Would you also call it recycling, pretty much like the recycling we were doing? Adano: Yes to some extent but that is different, you’re meditating and you want to have an experience of a conscious identification with some thought pattern to release it and if you’re meditating strictly on the light inside, the light will break up into many colors and the colors are important in the meditation. There is a gold ring, there’s blue and white, there are many other colors but these three colors are important in the meditation because if you strike a match you will see these three colors, this is the light you’re looking at inside. 1:20 Now how you feel inside, if you have any anguish or pain you may want this to suddenly go up into the light and flush it out, you can do that but you want to see this light and go with it because that light will start drawing you inward. Now you’ll also hear a sound because Man is sound and you will hear this sound, the sound will start pulling him up. The moment you hear the sound inside you will start ascending, “In the beginning was the word,” which is sound “and the word was with God,” it’s in consciousness already “and the word IS God,” makes all the difference now. The word, the sound, the audible life current is God. See He doesn’t have a form, the highest form He can take is yourself but then you can’t accept that because no one wants to accept he’s God but then he can be very egotistical and shout “I am God too!” But that’s the final culmination of the form of God, like Man. Now “the word IS God,” the audible life current is God “and the word was made flesh,” audible life current became us “and dwelt in Man.” So we have a direct link to God all the time via an internal retinal photography so as we look inside we reverse this process and we can hear this sound going on inside. Yes? Audience: What if you hear more than one sound? Adano: Enjoy it. Enjoy it. There are sounds that you will want to hear eventually, the first is the sound of the bees then there’s sound it sounds like grasshopper chirping and then you may hear the sound of the flute, Krishna flute blowing, or you may hear a trumpet, all the reed instruments will play then you may hear the sound of the harps and then you may hear the sound of the bells, a whole carillon playing inside then you may hear the sound of the ocean or conch shell blowing, the roar of the ocean, you may hear thunder inside and finally you will hear like a drum too but then finally you’ll hear like bagpipes are blowing, they’re all inside of you then the whole thing becomes a symphony. God is the music of the spheres or the atoms in motion but this is the cosmic sound that you’re listening for or hearing. It changes you because you will recognize some changes in yourself when you hear it, there are lots of things that happen in your body when you hear it. Not long not too long ago I met a young man who had just come back from India, he was standing under a veranda of an ashram and the Swami was passing on this veranda and he and his wife was downstairs under the veranda and two other people and the Swami was just walking across the veranda above and he said to his wife, “Don’t you hear the the flute blowing?” She says, “What flute?” Knocked the other fella he says, “Don’t you hear the flute blowing?” He says, “I don’t hear anything.” Knocked the fourth person, none of them heard the flute yet he heard the flute so he’s puzzled, the Swami walked across the balcony and went down to the end of the balcony and he would hear this flute going on. Later in the evening when they were introduced to the Swami and they sat down to eat, he said to the Swami, “Can you explain to me why I heard a flute blowing today?” And the Swami looked at him and He said, “It’s obvious young man that you’re hearing God. Were you in the days of Elijah or Isaiah or one of the old prophets you might be saying ‘Lo I turned to the East and heard the voice of God like a trumpet blowing and it was like the voice of many waters, like the ocean flowing.’ You were fortunate to hear the audible life current flowing in your body.” The Swami just emphasized it to make the man realize he was hearing God so he asked the Swami “Then God has a form if music is all around?” And the Swami said “Yes look at yourself in the mirror.” He said “That’s the form, you.” Eventually as you meditate this inner consciousness will open up, you have to meditate. Yes? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: This release can come. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Oh yes, I just gave you one example and don’t think that the release don’t come by other methods, I just gave you an example of releasing a problem with you and someone else. You know the Hindus have a saying and the Indians on the reservation have a saying, “You don’t know the load of another person’s back until you put it on and the Indians on the reservation says “You don’t know another man’s agony until you walk in his moccasins.” So you don’t know what it is when someone hurts you until you try to live and feel what hurts them, you see? Now it’s a feeling principle, meditation is a feeling principle, you’re trying to relate back into feeling to use feeling as a means of releasing. Now the greater love or the greater bliss that comes from meditation is not just sitting down and closing the eyes you know and nothing happening to you. This is one form of bliss, yes it’s true, it’s there, you can sit down and close your eyes and feel this bliss, there is nothing else but that, that’s just one level of the consciousness. Now the next level in where you want deeper bliss, bliss that is truly engrossing to the extent that you know now what oneness is with God is when you take part in a particular life experience and reverse this process inside and feel it. Audience: Could you have done it on an unconscious level, not work at it, just to occur? Adano: Yes but you wouldn’t know it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well let me show you how you will always remember it, have you ever had a dream where you hurt yourself and then you wake up that particular spot of where you hurt yourself pains you? Audience: No. Adano: You know if you see yourself in a dream and you stomp your toe or you kick something or you hit yourself and when you wake up right in that spot there’s a sensation in the waking state? If you had such a dream then you have already shifted consciousness. Now it’s to go back into that same experience and look at it objectively for the first time and release it. If you can have a dream in where you are running and fall down and stump your toe then all of a sudden wake up out of the dream and know it’s a dream and still feel your toe hurting, you had quite an experience. Audience: Could it not very well be if you have this without putting the effort into it that the other person does the releasing? (Laughter). Adano: All right good, that’s true too. They can have it. See it’s not necessarily you alone, they can have that release too, they do have it at times. Yes? Audience: Well then when does meditation become contemplation? Adano: Contemplation is before meditation madam. Most of us have got the cart before the horse by saying meditation comes before contemplation. Meditation is direct oneness with God, contemplation is hoping to become one with God, you’re contemplating the possibilities, you’re not involving yourself with it finally. See to contemplate on the thing is not actually living it, you want to be one with it, you want to have the force field moving inside. The mystic contemplates before what he wants to contemplate on before he goes into the meditation. Let’s say for instance I’m contemplating what happened to me in 1959 in the month of December. I go and contemplate this whole process but I’m not involved with it as an actual experiences as yet, I have to go back now and try and bring all the movements inside to live it and the moment I live it for the first time, live through that whole process then I have brought back an actual meditative release. You know we can contemplate all our lives and never get a release and yet when you’re faced with an actual meditation that opens you to release it, that’s the first time you have something tangible because remember the the description of meditation is very simple: Mental Energy Directing Individual Thought Activities Towards an Intuitive Observation and Oneness within the Noumena. That is the actual thing that happened there inside of you and you actually having a oneness for the first time. There was an archbishop who wrote this before he died years ago in England he said, “When you can feel the joys of another in yourself and feel your joys in them and feel their pains in you and your pains in them, you have meditated my son.” He was telling the early novitiates who are growing up to be in the church, the bishops, he was actually telling them the results of his meditation, “When you can feel it.” He didn’t say when you can think of it, he said when you can feel their pains and joys in yourself and relive these experiences then you have had a meditation. There was also a Catholic Saint by the name of Anselmo who lived many years, there are very few writings about him and he said the same thing, “Meditation is that particular experience in which all things are in you and you are in it.” So they’re talking of an actual oneness with experience and it’s not on a conscious computing level, it’s on a beingness level you see? There’s a difference. Yes? Audience: Concerning meditation techniques, two questions one is it helpful to concentrate on a chakra or a nerve energy center? Two, what about breathing exercises, are they helpful previous to going into meditation? Adano: Let us observe what you’re trying to accomplish then you will see if it’s practical or impractical or if it’s good or not good. What are you trying to accomplish by concentrating on a nerve center? Audience: You’re asking me now? Adano: Yeah, what do you think you’re doing? Audience: Well as I understand it, I’m only a non-experienced… Adano: You see your answer is in your question, if you only look at the question you ask, the answer is there. If you are concentrating on a particular nerve center, what are you trying to accomplish by concentrating there? Remember meditation is to bring you into a state of oneness. Now if you’re concentrating on a nerve center are you trying to accomplish oneness there or are you just practicing concentration as a means to steady the mind.
1972 May 6 - Part 2 Recognizing the Christ Consciousness
Adano72_05_06_2RecognizingChristConsciousnessQ1RR - Audience: It’s my privilege to introduce him to you and tell you a little something about you about him. He is the founder of the All Faith Fellowship which is building rapidly in Tyler Texas. He and his wife work towards this end, his wife is Margaret Ley who was made of Swamini in 1969 with Reverend Adano Ley and were both initiated into the ancient Indian order of the Saraswati. Adano was given the name of Nityananda Saraswati. He is going to speak this evening on Recognizing the Christ Consciousness and I would like to announce at this time that tomorrow at two o’clock he will be speaking about Techniques in Prayer Healing. It is with great pleasure introduce Swami Nityananda. Adano: Thank you Larry. Before we start, let us just calibrate our minds for a few minutes. (Short meditation). Thank you. I know this subject has tremendous implications, Recognizing the Christ Consciousness. Before we can discuss the Christ Consciousness and let alone recognize it, we have to be aware of what we’re talking about in terms of creation. The Hindu philosophy tells us of a trinity and the Western philosophy or Christian philosophy also speak of a trinity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, the Hindus: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. For the Hindus Krishna is the word they use to represent the descent of this spirit into the flesh. In the West we use the word Emmanuel, God in Man, scientifically speaking what are we saying to ourselves? We are all saying that there is a Creative Intelligence present, inherent in human form. If this is true then we can try to understand the nature of this Creative Intelligence and then begin to recognize it around us. If we can understand what it is, how it’s functioning then we can also partake of it, otherwise it’s just a bunch of words having no real meaning and then we will be caught up in a personality more than a reality of a cosmic principle. To a Hindu Krishna is a reality, to a Christian Christ or Jesus is a reality yet what are they saying to each other? They’re both saying that God is in Man but first we have to understand what God means to each man in order to accept God in Man and let alone recognize it working around us and become identified with it. No man wants pain, it’s very simple to realize that. A dying man wants life and when he gets his life back it’s joy to him. A sick man wants his health back, when he gets that back it’s joy to him. A poor man if he gets money that’s joy to him. To a spiritual person trying to realize the truth about himself, it’s the constant ever-new joy that passes through him. So in reality Man is reaching out to the Creative Intelligence in the form of joy, bliss, but this bliss is only realizable to its fullest extent when the Creative Intelligence would come down and focus through a human being. Now this is very difficult for a man to accept, it’s easy for men to accept God as unmanifest somewhere in some remote region but not so easy to accept God as this Creative Principle coming down and participating in human form. When we do accept this, we are going to be liable for idolatry or hero worship or are we going to be vulnerable for fanaticism, that is we will go and chop off heads of others to convince them that we have the one true God. It is not that God is not flowing down through Man and let alone God becoming active in Man, the problem is Man at his level of comprehension cannot see God functioning directly through Man unless Man must be a superman. If you are a cow you want a bigger cow to worship, if you’re a dog you want a super dog to worship, if you’re a man the ideal God-man would be a superman. We have already set up what God is supposed to do for us in the man not realizing how this principle is working in us when the very God-man will tell you “I of myself can do nothing but the Father which is in me doeth everything” this eliminates any type of ego in the realized man. In Eastern thinking they do not like to use the word God because it tends to create too much of an image, they rather use the word “absolute,” the supreme absolute, the supreme beingness, and supreme beingness can only work in His creation or Its creation by channeling down through some form. The form that It will take is the one that we can recognize and that is human, it would not take the form of a plant or the form of a rock or an animal as the ideal channel for Its existence so it takes Man as the ideal channel for Its existence. If it takes Man as the ideal channel for its existence, then what label or name would you classify this ideal? In the East they call that label or classification Krishna but it’s not spelled k-r-I-s-h-n-a, it’s spelt “K,S,N,A” you see an interesting thing, Krishna is not a person, Krishna is a state of awareness, it’s a principle where the Creative Intelligence flows through personalized form. 0:10 We can say then that Krishna represents Cosmic Consciousness or Christ consciousness or Krishna consciousness, vibratory or vibrating throughout creation. Christ consciousness is that state of awareness that vibrates through vibratory creation, it is that Creative Intelligence that is flowing through creation. Now in the East they refer to this Creative Intelligence as the personal aspect of God because Man is the only creature that wants to relate to God on a personal level. they will also use the word Avatara meaning descent, a descent of this consciousness into flesh, a descent of the consciousness through matter. When we do that we are saying to ourselves that the Creative Intelligence does function through matter. Well in the Hindu trinity we have Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the preserver, and Shiva the renovator. God the creator is Brahma which has no shape, no form yet the Hindus are so methodical in their thinking they even went and made some figure to look like Brahma and there’s only one temple dedicated to the Brahma, that is a sculpture with four heads: one facing north, one facing south, one east, one west. A four headed figure looking in four different directions yet the word Brahma means head, the head, this is the portion of the human mechanism that creates or centers thought patterns and centers consciousness. Objectively looking at this minus the symbology we can say that Creative Intelligence is pure cosmic awareness devoid of all forms, omnidirectional, meaning it can look in any direction now it’s not limited in any direction, it’s an omnidirectional or all directional awareness. How does this omnidirectional awareness affect creation? The only way it can affect creation it must come down to some form so they say the next level of this omnidirectional awareness is Vishnu the preserver. All right if you create something out of your mind you take it from some inspirational point of your being you will get joy, the greater joy will come now from trying to preserve it or maintain it, if you don’t maintain it you’ll throw it away. How many of us when they make something throw it away immediately? You create something and you look at it and there’s joy, you maintain it, polish it, take care of it there is more joy because it’s using itself, you are using it, it’s acting. The greatest joy would come if you smash it all up and remodel it because you would put a new model into effect, this is consciousness at work, this is the creative principle at work. Now this Creative Principle must come down on a human level no matter how we try, it must work through us as human beings, we have it in us as human beings, it is for us to recognize it. Now when we start to recognize it from the Hindu trinity we see Vishnu, which is the maintaining aspect of this consciousness, sends out Saviors or Avatars. A Savior is someone who tries to maintain a balance, one who lifts up to prevent people from becoming unrighteous so the word Avatara, descent into the spirit into the flesh, that descent of spirit into the flesh is maintained so we see great beings like Rama, men like Gopal or Govinda, men like Buddha, Moses, Elijah these are all Avataras on a long line of maintaining. They are expressions of this personal aspect of the Creative Intelligence right down to Jesus. Jesus was an Avatara and the word used was Emmanuel, God in Man, so we don’t see any conflict between the Hindu concept and the Christian concept as to what this Creative Intelligence is doing on a personal level. It is how this Creative Principle works inside the personal level that’s very very difficult to comprehend. Where does it work in us? How can we recognize it’s working in us? Because we have many statements pertaining to it. Since the Creative Intelligence working through a personal level is called the Christ Consciousness or the Krishna Consciousness, it is that particular creative force field that is responsible for the behavior of matter. We look at matter and we see it, it follows certain behavioral patterns yet we are not relating to it as a whole, we are only relating to it as parts and if you see certain behaviors in one little object, this is what we will tag it not fully realizing that consciousness is flowing as a whole. Matter as we see it according to Einstein is energy, according to the mystic it is the lowest expression of pure consciousness, it’s the lowest expression of pure consciousness. If you’re in doubt Dr. Baxter with his experiment on plants tell you plants think, have you read of that, are you familiar with that? Well if he on this level just now breaking through the veils that are acting in matter to make us conscious of a behavior going on and that there’s an intimacy, then until we understand that we do not understand what the Christ consciousness is working in us. The Christ consciousness is the collective Creative Principle directing the total behavior of the structure of matter and the human brain is the only mechanism capable of monitoring it. As long as the human mechanism removes the sense of focus or sense of identity from the five senses or lower mechanism to the higher or intuitive mechanism then that Christ Consciousness will begin to manifest itself, we have to surrender the sensory nature and focus upon the intuitive nature. We are given indications by Jesus when He said, “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me” and if the Son of Man be lifted up, the Son of Man is your sensory nature. 0:20 If you withdraw from your sensory nature and center it on the intuitive nature, for the first time you will start locking in to the true behavior pattern of creation around you, this is the Christ consciousness that you’re trying to lock into because once you lock into it there is no limitation. Christ consciousness, in order to recognize it now in a human being is that capacity to crystallize thoughts at will. If when you think certain thoughts and a plant can pick it up and respond but you are not aware that the plant is picking it up, the lack of your awareness does not normally distort the plant yet the very thought that you triggered off can distort the behavior of the plant, either the plant will grow better or it will shrivel up and die. This is proven because you can send love to a plant and send hate to another one and keep them all growing side by side and before you know it the one that has love seems to bloom, the one that has hate shrivels up. Now if we can do this on a conscious level without even capable of monitoring the vibratory rate on a conscious way, realize if you can generate this ability and monitor it, what is happening? Your consciousness can lock in and trigger for the first time actual movements, you can actually sense these movements, send them out, you can actually feel them and make the plant behave or object behave in terms of this thought. The Christ consciousness is that Creative Principle working as a collective whole in all creation, when you identify with it you can monitor it now by thinking otherwise you’ll just have a feedback from your thought waves and they will to some degree affect the objects around you but when you’re fully conscious in terms of identification with the vital life power in your being then you not only move the plant kingdom, animal kingdom, or mineral kingdom or human kingdom but you cause within their very structure now to vibrate and obey the thought patterns set up within themselves now becoming crystallized by your concentration. The Christ conscious man does not generate desires therefore he feels your desires first, he identifies with your mechanism first, and then brings these desires into crystallization and as they crystallize, you have an experience now of their Christ consciousness in your life. So think what I’m saying, how do you recognize it in your own life? When a desire begins to crystallize in your life that you might trigger off at some time not fully conscious of how you’re triggering it off and when it does crystallize you may assume that some unseen power brought it into manifestation when in reality it is the Christ’s intelligence, the Collective Whole force field that is existing in creation causing this internal desire to crystallize within you, around you. You are in a sense bringing into manifestation your own desires by locking in to the collective whole of the universal Creative Principle, if you don’t lock into it then your desires take a long time to materialize, sometimes they don’t materialize. Now a fully realized individual who can sense this whole force field can then cause this consciousness now to precipitate other people’s desires immediately, what they do is that they shrink down time for the first time. A man living in the full state of Consciousness acting on Consciousness which is Christ consciousness now, one of the levels of creation, when Consciousness is acting on Consciousness, that individual now has the capacity by his own intimacy of his being to shorten the function of time. Now why does he shorten the function of time? Because it is time that makes it seem impossible for us who are unrealized to bring about any manifestation of a desire at will. If you desire something and you cannot crystallize it at will instantaneously, there is a time factor that is involved. If the thought can crystallize into reality at will we can see now the Christ’s Intelligence is working through you faster. In the experience of prayer for healing, when you pray to heal someone and if the healing occurs instantaneously your own consciousness has locked in to the Christ Intelligence, the Collective Whole force field in the vibratory nature of matter and cause a shrinking of the time cycle into manifestation so we say you’ve had an instantaneous healing. Then you realize it is not you who have done it but the Creative Intelligence within you that did it, “I of myself can do nothing but the Father which is within me doeth everything,” the sense of ego goes out more and more as we are capable of instantaneously crystallizing the desire action yet there is a danger in it too. As soon as we start crystallizing thought patterns instantaneously too often, we are going to develop a craving to exhibit it because you will think in your mind there is nothing in this world you cannot do. Right there and then you would be caught up in one of the functions that Jesus mentioned “What it profit a man to gain his whole world and lose his Soul” because right there this craving urge to demonstrate will become strong. The Christ intelligence in Man and in the whole creative force field works primarily for the good of each individual, it works through the individual, it works to help the individual resolve certain thought patterns, certain cravings. Yet at the same time it may not do a single thing for anybody, the Christ Intelligence may not even release or crystallize a desire for no one. If you realize that Master Jesus went to a certain place and then He came back and He said “With these people I can do nothing.” They had desires, they had wishes and cravings yet when He tuned in to their own creative structure, their intensified doubt and hardening of their mind as to the reality of the possibility of this force coming through them, they blocked it out. Now there is no experience in Christ Consciousness occurring for any human being without we the individual setting up the necessary conditions to receive it, we have to set up the necessary conditions to receive it, we have to want it. All right let’s see if the necessary conditions of wanting are not important. There was a woman who suffered from an issue of blood, she saw the Master walking yet she says in her mind, she has to put these conditions in her mind, “If I would but touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole.” 0:30 Now you realize what we’re talking about, she says the hem of His garment, that’s a piece of material a person is wearing around his body. A little while ago I’m talking about the structure of creation, this woman may not be a scientist in her mind by any training yet her inward feeling is that since this Christ principle is passing through this physical form then there would be no limitation to this Creative force flowing to her. Her own innate Christ self is recognizing the expanded magnified Christ-self in the man Jesus and is reaching out to set the stage for receptivity. Your Christ self must set the stage for the Christ that must come into this world, isn’t that what Casey said? You have to make it possible, if you don’t make it it’ll never come so it is you who must set the stage of receptivity for a Christ-realized individual to flow, the woman is setting the stage in her consciousness to be able to receive let alone recognize. When she touches the garment of Jesus she is made whole but a strange conversation occurs just at that time, the Master said “Someone has touched me.” According to the King James version that was the word they translate, “touch,” the newer editions or newer translations they use the word push. Well we will see where push and touch have different meanings and different responses in the science of the Soul. Peter replied and said “Master everyone is touching you.” In the new editions we can say “Master everyone is pushing against you” but then the Master replies “No, power has gone out of Me.” The newer editions of different translators say “virtue has gone out of Me,” it’s a big difference when you’re looking in terms of the Science of the Soul, what really goes out and what is supposed to go out. The Christ’s intelligence is the Creative force field, we’re saying force field present and directing the structure of creation so if the man who is realized comprehends its mechanics, if he was saying virtue then this would be incorrect, if he’s saying power then he is correct. Power went out of Him but to show that He knew that power went out of Him because he’s identified, he’s not merely wearing a garment by conscious association, He is identified with the garment by the power relationship of the structure of matter within His being. This is what the man is saying, power went out, “You have drawn from my source of relationship by setting up the necessary conditions of the mind” so He looks around and by looking around He points out the culprit. Now if He did not do that we could say virtue really went out of the man and by a lucky stroke of awareness, He picked up that woman’s thought waves and helped her. He identified the woman and He said to her, “Your faith have made thee whole.” “Your alignment of consciousness to the reality of your being from within yourself made it possible for these two force fields to meet under the desire nature of yourself. If you did not crave for a healing and set up this alliance in your mind, you could not bring about this release from within me to you or from within your own makeup the necessary experience that is occurring now, you have to make this association inside.” She then recognize beyond all doubt Christ consciousness flowing through a realized man. Within us when we are striving to recognize Christ consciousness in ourselves, we can do this by setting up the right mental relationships. The moment you begin to do that many things occur in your life, you begin to see such things like some of your desires materializing in a strange way. I know many people who can vouch for that, they have thought and wanted many things when they were young and the moment they began to recognize the intimacy of consciousness in matter with themselves, their desires began to crystallize in miraculous ways. A friend of mine told me this one time, he had a fountain pen and he refused to buy one and regardless of where he went the pen would leak but he would still use it, he was a minister but he would not buy another pen because “waste not, want not,” he’s a very frugal man but he says if the Christ is so marvelous in all things, the Christ will provide me a pen. He went on a tour to Europe, on his way back home to America all the gifts that were given to him by all the places he visited was a Parker fountain pen. (Laughter). Strange, everywhere no one knew what he wanted but they all brought him a Parker fountain pen, the same like the one he was writing with. Somebody took pity on him you may say or is the Creative Intelligence working to crystallize from within. We have this happening to us in many ways in simple things around us every day, you go out and you’re in a mental quandary what to do about your life, you set up the necessary desire pattern inside for some guidance and you may say to yourself, “I better play it by ear” so you’re on the alert for guidance. You run into people and if you’re conscious, that’s making the necessary preparation, before the day is over some individual seems to come along and give you some information to go where you supposed to go and then you thank God. Well you know you tell your wife or your husband, “Today I met such and such a person and she gave me the answer what I was looking for,” not fully realizing that the person is only the focal point for the Creative Intelligent force which is already locked up in you pulling back to bring it about into manifestation. Just as much as you send out love to a plant and it will respond and you need an instrument to give you some validity of its response, think of it on the basis of human beings to human beings, how faster, how fantastic the time cycle can be diminished. You can actually diminish the time lapse among human beings to bring about an experience in the Christ consciousness. The Christ consciousness can now be recognized not as a human being but as the Creative force field that works through human beings, God is meeting you now on a personal level. Here for the first time you are seeing this Divine Law not as a figment of imagination or some illusionary world but as a factual exposure to Divine Life in action. The more love you seem to emit towards it or to emit to another human being, the faster this crystallization comes about. If you set up the attitude of the day is that “I love all Men and I’m going out, I may have many business problems, where do I turn?” The Creative Intelligence is there locked up as the Christ principle in all Men but your love setting it up for receptivity triggers this in motion and brings this crystallization. Before you know it you are drawn or they are drawn into your sphere of existence to have a release or a confrontation or an experience of crystallization or materialization. 0:40 In the East we say devotion to God via the personal form enhances the Christ principle or the Krishna consciousness. Well we got lots of people shouting Krishna consciousness and then on this side of the Atlantic or the Pacific we got lots of us shouting Christ consciousness and the two are clashing each other’s heads you know, banging away at each other, that is not the true comprehension of the Christ consciousness. Where the true comprehension of the Christ consciousness comes in is our moment-to-moment participation with the desire action of the mechanism in relation to others around us. We cannot live without desire, we cannot suddenly cut off all desire yet every desire must have an action to be fulfilled or be eliminated. If you have a desire for a cigarette it will be fulfilled, if you have a desire to get rid of it, it will be eliminated so the desire action within the frame of your consciousness working can now draw upon the collective force field all around you to release you or elevate you instantaneously, you have to trust it now just as much as the woman trusted that if she only touched the garment, not the man’s body, the physical garment that He wore to bring about this release, we have to trust now in the Creative Intelligence inherent in the structure of matter around us to bring about the crystallization of thoughts as a reality for the first time. Don’t look at the world around you in some form of disgust as to say it’s immaterial or material, nothing is immaterial or nothing here in this world is material in the true sense of the word. In the true sense of the word everything here is a crystallization of a cosmic desire otherwise we would not be here in the first place. God had to desire to make a creation, He had to set it into action and the action is the end result we see and that end result is us when we look back at it. Now when we accept the responsibility of trying to unite, to get back on a personal level, then we will have the experiences of facing God in the levels of descent, the Eastern people call it Avatara, the Western scriptures call it Emmanuel, the God in Man. As we prepare the mind to make this possible confrontation of God on a personal level then we will be able to experience more and more of the Christ consciousness within ourselves in time reduction experiences which you call instantaneous. One wise man said, “The greater the realization of the individual,” that is to say the greater the comprehension of a human being about his self and his environment, the greater his impact or control over the environment, you realize what is happening? If you are aware of yourself more and more leaving the primitive sense of awareness in terms of “this is a tree” and realizing a tree now is no longer a tree but it’s energy and energy is consciousness, once you have this sudden altered attitude to this object for the first time and start to see in the whole perspective and to realize that your thoughts are triggering and causing some crystallization to occur, you will experience Christ awareness. Among the Indians on the reservations there is a particular ritual they have when there is no rain. Now we all know what rain is, it’s that beautiful dirty water that falls from our polluted skies (Laughter). All right but it’s there in its clouds and then it comes down. On a day when there is no clouds, remember a day where there is no clouds these Indians get together and try to send up prayer thoughts for the release of rain on the Earth. Now this is not imagination, this is a very very powerful science at work, those people who really pray for that rain many of them are very very devoted to a higher awareness and they will start praying and before their prayers are almost complete, out of that clear blue sky you may need an umbrella to cover your head before you get flushed out, rain comes down. Now one may say “Well jee whiz if you’re so great and can pray anytime to get rain why the heck we got to have bad crops, why should there be drought in certain areas? We can just take this group of people on a bus or a plane and put them over here pray, go around and do the next prayer.” Well all right this is a sort of mass producing it, we have broken the true contact for the use of the Christ Intelligence. I said before we cannot do that type of consciousness, there must be a desire within the framework of the being and when this desire is set up and need is brought into focus, then it will crystallize. To (inaudible) and pray and let water fall from the heavens and then suddenly because there’s a drought over there or there’s none falling there and nobody is asking for it, you take a group of people to take them over to the other side and pray for them and then released it there and then you take and go someplace else, you’re actually violating this principle. If we look at the guidelines of the realized Masters who have recognized this Christ Intelligence, we will see they do not bring about the manifestation or the crystallization of the desires unless there is that basic connection with them and the individual involved. After Jesus turned water into wine to satisfy His mother, who in turn was trying to satisfy the desires of her kinfolk, He did not go on to be the number one winemaker. (Laughter) You see there is what we’re looking at, He did the act, He recognized the reality of His Christ awareness, his Christ consciousness, and brought it into focus their desire, satisfied their desire and left. Equally true any other realized individual, any one of us in this room that can relate to this consciousness, the moment we can relate to this Christ consciousness within ourselves and cause a desire to crystallize, we will see that you have to be asked on certain levels for it to crystallize otherwise you will run into dead ends, blind alleys. When you ask an individual to tune in on that Creative Intelligence and bring about a result in your life, there must be some bond, some unfinished commitment, some lesson, some behavioral release causing it or occurring within you to have it as an experience. 0:50 Each one would like to see more wine made without effort and everyone would also want, “How can I do it?” But ask yourself, making more wine without any effort and for whose benefit? Do you see you can make a mess of this Creative force field for the first time? If you’re going into wine making for a material profit by selling it then you’re wasting your time, why not create the whole ocean into one big wine vat, you see? If you want to dole it out in terms of dollars and cents then what are you really craving, are you craving dollars and cents, are you craving the show of being capable of converting water into wine? This is the integrity of the thing, to be able to recognize that when you are in that state how to apply it for the benefit of those that need it. We cannot force Christ awareness upon people, we cannot make their misery or their trials less than they are willing to turn it loose, they must make the trials and the tribulations a part of their life, Jesus said it, “Take up your cross and follow Me.” It is essential that we do work out some of these problems but at the same time it’s essential for us to recognize the God in Man capable of crystallizing a desire and freeing us from the implications of those desires, that will make us more conscious of our own inner divinity. Now in the East they made a painting of the man Gopal would they call the Krishna of India at the time, a Christ realized man and it’s a peculiar thing that they paint His entire body blue. There has never been any painting out of India that depicted Krishna other than blue. Now isn’t that strange? Now we come down to Jesus now, if they were going to paint Master Jesus, they’ll paint Him blue too, they’ll take this Jewish figure and paint it in blue and said this is the Jewish Christ. To a person looking at it that’s a disfigurement, He’s a Jewish Man and He’s caucasian, to them that’s unimportant, it’s blue then you ask yourself why do they paint it blue, what does the blue represent? In creation in the structure of light there are many colors, the most predominant color outside of white is blue. Now they paint Krishna blue, the whole body, to represent this Christ intelligence in matter if you were to look to the heavens, which we do when we raise our hands or our eyes to God, which is the most predominant color you see? Blue, has anyone ever penetrate with his eyes into the infinity of blue? You can look for long hours and still never go out to the end of where the blue is and if you travel in space, you’ll get the queer feeling that there is no blue there. Huh? Which astronaut says that when he’s traveling in space outside is blue? Everyone came back and said it’s total darkness out there. How did this total darkness suddenly disappear while they’re in space moving or when we’re on the Earth looking at it seeing it as blue? Then we have a beautiful answer for it because the ocean is blue therefore the sky is blue but the rocks in the ocean aren’t blue either. Then we say the sun diffuses therefore the sky is blue. How does the sky suddenly get the blueness and when the astronaut is in space, the blueness disappears and turns black? The Hindus have said that because the Creative Intelligence or the Divine Artist is flowing through creation and since blue appears to be the predominant color, that blue is the radiant form, the radiant form of the Christ intelligence. Now anyone having an experience inside with any spiritual person will see the radiant form as blue. Now in the brain we have light and the light has three colors: gold, blue, and white and the most predominant color inside is blue. This blue, once you lock into it, for the first time your consciousness is vibrating in all things, that is the level we call Consciousness acting on Consciousness. You begin to sense (loud feedback from the speakers) …but that sound is the sound of the Audible Life Current. You don’t recognize it, God is consciousness, light, and sound passing through this human mechanism in a total level, when we lock into it we can hear it, we can see it, and we can be aware of it, of the Consciousness acting on the Consciousness. We must realize that when we use the term Christ, we are not talking of a man, we are talking of the descent of the spirit into the man. Now to see it in that radiant form within, blue is the obvious color that comes around it, anyone who has had any inner experience will tell you the Christ, the man Jesus appears in a blue light surrounding His body. When we try to understand the Christ Consciousness at our level which is the level we want to understand it and use it, it becomes important to understand a particular function of this country. In this country we have a saying, “Any man can become the President of the United States,” the presidency is an office, the man in that office is the President. All right, the power vested in that office is accepted to be the highest power released to a single individual. If he signs into effect a law, the nation is supposed to obey it, we are looking at the Divine Principle working now in terms of the Christ. The Christ intelligence in vibratory creation is like the cosmic presidency of this world and any man can become Christ-realized and function from that level, each one of us are potentially Christ-realized when we are awakened, each one of us has this potential, each one of us then can be elected President of the United States, each one of us can become Christ-realized, this is something that you can become. 1:00 Now if Mr. Kennedy signs into effect a law or Mr. Lincoln signs a law into effect or Mr. Nixon signs a law into effect or let’s say Mr. Washington, these three men are no different in terms of the Presidency as far as their power to act from that office but you cannot say to yourself that Washington is less important than Kennedy or less important than Abraham Lincoln or less important than Mr. Nixon, the four men do not have the same identical problems to face, the same relationships to face or associations to face, they all differ yet each one the moment they put their signature to some document, it is ratified and accepted as legal. The same thing is true of all the Christ-realized men that walk this Earth, Buddha is no different than Jesus and Jesus is not different than Govinda or Gopal and Gopal is no different than Rama or any of the other great teachers that came on this Earth, they are in their particular time, their particular sphere of actions, conditions, people and they had to work it out. Now Jesus died on a cross, Krishna was poisoned, Buddha was poisoned interesting that these men did not die normal deaths in their beds, the Christ Consciousness does not necessarily perform miracles but this is one of its side products. When you’re in office like the president in the country, you can either get involved in a war or you may never get involved in the war, there are presidents who had no chance to ever get involved with the war and there are presidents who got involved with wars. Equally true the Christ-realized man may never get involved with any action pertaining to violence or He may get involved with actions pertaining to violence. We come to realize He may neither have to perform a miracle or he may have to perform miracles, the same is true So if we look at the Christ-realized man and we’re looking to recognize it in a human being, the things we don’t look for is the miracles, we don’t look for the superiority of the intellect, we don’t look for the difference in philosophies, we look for the central message of all of them and the central behavior of all of them. The central message of the Christ-realized man is love and peace, the central behavior of the Christ-realized man is to crystallize your thoughts for you if you have a need. Many great Masters when the students came to Them with their desires were crystallized for them in their own life for them and they did not have to go out and tell the world that this occurred in them, they were even cautioned not to go and say anything. You remember in the life of Jesus the man who was healed from leprosy? He was even cautioned not to go and expose or say anything, They do not want a show and They may even heal us without the show. They can lift our minds up into a state of peace, They can heal us without even reaching out and touching us strictly because we have a desire that has to be crystallized. A third thing in recognizing the Christ-realized man and to recognize you are entering that state yourself, how to recognize you are entering the Christ conscious state in yourself and that is the peace you feel throughout the body when you generate love to your fellow man and how long it remains with you. The peace you feel when you generate love for your fellow man and how long it remains with you, if you send love out to someone and feel the inner peace, how long that peace remains with you in the waking state, not in the sleep state in the waking state, you are now tapping in on your Christ consciousness because you are going to effect the environment and you’re going to effect your fellow man. Jesus put it another way when He said, “As many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become Sons of God.” “The peace I give the world don’t give” and “If you cut out the tongues of men of peace the stones themselves will shout peace.” Christ consciousness can best be experienced and realized on a conscious level by the sustained peace within 24 hours and seven days a week, 365 days a year you know you have arrived. Now your mere Beingness can create miracles, it can crystallize desires and we see that in the case of Peter. Peter was a very hard man at times, he was not 100% peaceful, he was trying to get to that peaceful state. They might be hours when the peace was gone from him and they might be hours when he was sustaining the peace and we see in a peculiar situation. He was standing in the room where Paul was lecturing and his peace went away from him all of a sudden, he felt envious of Paul and he walked out of the room trying to regain his composure of peace again and he passed a blind man and the blind man said to him, “Heal me!” He paid no attention to the blind man yet when he regained his composure and returned back, his shadow fell on the man. He didn’t even know his shadow was falling on the man and the man regained his sight. Do you understand what I’m talking now, how the Christ consciousness is a collective principle in the whole of the creative force field working through us and when we relate to it, it will begin to make an impression on the environment around us, it is not the man Jesus. The next in line to the presidency is the vice presidency, this individual has the same functions when the President is absent that he can step in and perform, yet he may not be the competent individual, he may not be elected as yet into the presidency but he has to be acquainted with the functions of that office. Equally true when we are striving to become aware of the Christ’s intelligence in the whole force field around us, we may not be living completely at an ethical level for it to occur 100% in us but nevertheless whatever percent, this force field is working through us this is to encourage us to move towards that total involvement, that total surrender with it, when we make that total surrender then it flows 100%. 1:10 So to finalize the recognition of the Christ consciousness in all things, look for the peace that you feel in a conscious state all the time because in that state even your mere shadow can do many things. You can walk through a garden and you can affect the plants, you can come close to a sick squirrel and just radiate peace to it and the squirrel will be gaining its strength back or a sick possum. (Laughter). So it’s the love that you are feeling inside manifesting as a peace state. Thank you. (Applause then gap in tape). Some people have some questions they want to ask, there’s one gentleman who’s going to ask a question. Audience: I asked you in the break if a person could use another individual that had progressed ahead to help direct the force so that they could realize the Christ in their selves or do they have to do it completely by themselves? Adano: Both, you can do it by yourself, it will take you a long time and by the grace of another who is in that state, he can help you to recognize it faster. All right a candle can’t light itself, it takes another lit candle to light it up. An egg cannot become a chicken unless a mother hen sit on it but the fruit on a tree grows gradually and then one day the tree weans itself from the fruit or weans the fruit from the tree. So there we see the tree is growing by itself, the fruit is growing by itself but then within the tree this weaning process occurs. The candle can’t light itself and the chicken can’t come out of the egg by itself so we need both, we need the aid of the inherent power within to make the fruit come into fruition and let the tree dispense of it just as much we need the heat of the hen sitting on the egg to bring out the chicken or someone lifting a lit candle to light another one, we need both so one alone is insufficient. For this reason Master Jesus came to His disciples otherwise they by themselves would take a long time to suddenly come into realization, by His aid these disciples were able to gain the realization. Yes? Audience: I’m curious can you tell how the Master Jesus choose the disciples, the twelve? Adano: He said, “You have not chosen Me, I have chosen you.” All right, His awareness of the Christ intelligence within Himself radiated out to those who were bordering on that particular ability but were incapable of bringing it to fruition. So there is a saying in your scriptures, “The shepherd knows its sheep and the sheep knows its shepherd,” there is a sense of knowingness that occurs between an individual and the Master. When Jesus came down from the mountain after He was tempted for 40 days and 40 nights, He was passing in front of the River Jordan and John said “There goeth your Master.” Now a whole host of people were sitting there around the Jordan listening to John the Baptist and John the Baptist said “There goeth your Master.” It is said that three men got up and followed Jesus but He never looked around and said “Hi I’m glad you recognized me.” The man who pointed out these men’s teacher was a man who was aware too because Jesus went to that man to be baptized by Him and imagine when they met what they said to each other, “You baptize me.” “No you baptize me.” “No you baptize me.” “No you baptize me.” Two grown-up individuals arguing who should throw water on each other’s head, sounds kind of games but Jesus made a remark that was very significant, “Suffer it to be so for this is the way of righteousness,” there is a link of recognition occurring between the two men, on consciousness within themselves. So John went ahead and performed the ritual but John was also saying to the men around the River Jordan, “There goeth your Master” and it’s noted that three men got up and followed Him and He went about selecting the rest, gathering to Him the spiritual man that He needed. Now we only know or would relate to these 12 men because they were appearing to be what you call renunciates, not involved with the worldly affairs of life but this is not true in a spiritual life, the spiritual life is both householder and renunciate and Jesus had many householder disciples, far more in elevation than those that were following Him but they were not recorded or appear to have been significant in the writings of the life of Jesus yet their very life carried many great spiritual truths. In the life of Lazarus, he was a disciple, a householder disciple, a very unusual disciple in the sense that he was relieved of a karmic condition called attachment. There were two Lazaruses, a rich one and a poor one, the poor one was the one that had all the diseases, the rich one is the one that Jesus stayed at his house but had two sisters but that one was subject to attachment, he could not break loose from it. So the Master left his home and when He left his home they said a strange illness came upon Lazarus and then when He was told that Lazarus was ill He paid no attention, He kept on going and finally He was told by a message that Lazarus is dead. 1:20 Then He makes a tremendous remark and says “This is not a death unto the death,” indicating He knew very well the principles of life control because there are many levels of death. Yet He went back and when the sisters came you could imagine two householder sisters what they were saying in their minds before they meet the Teacher, “Boy you stayed at our house and ate all our food and this is the way you repay us? You wouldn’t even come when we sent a message to you?” I know I would but they suppressed all these and in a very pleasant way they said “Master if you were here our brother wouldn’t be faring thus,” it’s a strange way you tell someone not relating and at the same time you’re communicating subtle thought patterns. The Master could read their minds very well but then He teaches them another lesson in disciple-hood, He says “Where is the body?” “But Master he is dead, he has been dead three days.” “Where is the grave?” “Master he is buried for three days.” He’s gonna pull them out now, He’s putting them through the ropes so He goes to the grave and He makes a big statement, “Lazarus come forth!” In a loud voice but then He says again, “Father I did not have to say it in a loud voice, only because of the people around.” If you understand the subtle play between a disciple and a Guru or a teacher then we know what is going on in this principle of the Christ consciousness in man. Jesus was fully Christ realized but He was trying to make these disciples awaken to their own Christ consciousness so He had to put them through the paces to get them to wake up to it. So when Lazarus came out, Lazarus was a changed man, he opened his home to many that were there for the first time and you might say according to Paul this was our first humanitarian or philanthropist, he became a very charitable man. You know Paul says of all the three virtues which is the most important? Charity. Lazarus might not have had the opportunity in a lifetime to be charitable until he was put to the test of death, these subtle references in many writings indicate what is happening yet other disciples that live with Jesus that are recorded performed many miracles but that doesn’t say that those other disciples in their householder chores were not capable of performing miracles, they were but we’re not judging the spiritual life by the miracle, a blow on the head and the end of your ability to perform miracles. It’s your peace that passes all understanding, that permeates your body to the grave and beyond the grave, this is the evidence of spirituality. “The peace I give the world don’t give” that’s what He’s talking about. If we have that in us these cells are transformed because these cells will throw off the ability to break down after death, this is what is meant by “when this body throws off corruption and takes on non-corruption.” When the disciple accepts the Christ in himself, he would not have to overcome the breakdown of the cells, it’s a natural law just as much as a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it’s natural for us to arrive at that state once we recognize it. No more questions? Yes? Audience: You know how the early Christians lived in community, in Acts how they lived together in communes and they prayed together and they had great power and this is part of the (inaudible) movement today. Do you think that Christ consciousness can be raised in this kind of living experience of Christians living together in a community so that they are living as a body of believers (inaudible) the body of Christ and that this would extend this consciousness to the whole group rather than an individual trying to reach Christ consciousness, the whole group is strengthened by the power of the prayers together? Adano: All right they are only fulfilling the discipline of their Teacher who said to them while He was in the body, “When two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in their midst.” They were performing group meditation or group participation but with what, was it the Christ consciousness or something else? Remember He said, “I go unto the Father but I send you the Holy Comforter and He will remind you of all these things in My name.” The Holy Spirit descending upon these people reassured these people that they were still lock into the Christ consciousness within themselves and unless they had some tangible experience of the Holy Comforter that gave them that assurance, they would have fallen apart. We would fall apart too if we have no assurance of these particular abilities that the Christ is with us. Where we don’t need the abilities to make the assurance because He told His disciples when He came back from the grave, “Blessed are they who do not see and believe then they who see and believe.” The assurance must come from a surrender of devotion within yourself to the Christ working within all things, this devotion is greater, this devotion is the true strength you’re looking for because a blow on the head would not deprive you of that devotion or any injury would not deprive you of that devotion whereas the gifts of the spirit can be suddenly taken away by any injury to this physical mechanism you see? So if they get together and pray it is good, don’t get me wrong it’s good, they need it, we all need it, we should get together and pray and meditate, this makes the way possible now for the Christ to come back through us and the Being will come down. He may not necessarily be a Jew the next time or a Chinaman or a Hindu, you don’t know what nationality He may pick now and He may not necessarily wear a robe with a beard or He may not wear an Ivy League suit and carry an attache case. We don’t know what form the Being is going to take now to crystallize but nevertheless if we make it possible for this consciousness to come down, we can have that experience, He can materialize in our realm, He can actually be among us to satisfy us but don’t think that the Christ-realized man Jesus, His resurrected body is somewhere in never never land, it’s here with us, it’s always been with us. The only difference between His body and yours is that your body casts a shadow and leave a footprint, His body is flesh and blood like yours and mine but it don’t cast no shadow and leave no footprint and it does not need to eat food like you and I because it has mastered the five senses, it absorbs pure light through the medula. So what can be more thrilling even in a Pentecostal movement to suddenly have the Master Jesus bring out His resurrected body and stand up in the midst like the night when He appeared to the people up in the upper room, the disciples, you understand? That is more thrilling because you have a tangible contact now, the holy gift of the spirit to perform or talk in tongues don’t get me wrong they’re good but the actual experience of the Christ, Jesus the man who was realized as Christ, standing there giving a confirmation of that state. All other great teachers who are realized their disciples saw them after death, they’ve had the experience. 1:30 We may not have the books in this part of the world to confirm it because it’s written in other languages yet anyone who has studied the Oriental religions and know anything about the relationship between the Master and the disciple, on what basis that relationship is based on, do you know that their Master appears to them even after death and gives them an experience of that state of Beingness that we should strive for, that is the Christ state we’re striving for where this body is no longer breaking down. Yes? Audience: Would you define intuition? Adano: Intuition is an ability to know independent of the senses, it is your true self, that part of you that knows independent of the senses. Now if you know anything or perceive anything in your environment, you have to use the five senses and then to make sure that you’re not losing your marbles you want to have some tangible factual evidence to satisfy your five senses so you use logic. Yet if you want to transcend the limitation of the wall, you have to extend the five senses via equipment: x-ray, telescope, radar all utilizing energy yet your five senses uses energy. Intuition is using an accelerated state of that energy now for the first time independent of the contact point of limitation. So when a person say they are clairvoyant that is only one aspect of that intuitive level working through them on the vision spectrum that they may see now into space and time events occurring. Yet if they are aware without relying on clairvoyance then they are aware at all time because that is what Cosmic Consciousness is, omnidirectional awareness, there is no limitation to that. Yes? Audience: Is self-realization a process where a separate individual consciousness recognizes an omnipresent, omnidirectional consciousness existing and flowing through him but that the two are separate or is it that the self-realization process is that one realizes that he is the same as that omnidirectional, omnipresent consciousness and that his feeling of individuality is just an illusion? Adano: I’ll give you an example, there is one moon in the sky and you have a dozen different glasses of water of different sizes and colors and different quantities of water and if you see a dozen reflections in the dozen glasses, how many moons do you have? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Why do you come to the conclusion you had one moon? Audience: Because you know it’s one moon. Adano: (Laughing) So you see realization is what? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Extension of your awareness to the source of Being therefore you and the Father are one, the knowledge of yourself, to see you is to see the Father. To see the image in the glass of water is to see the moon that is responsible for the image yet that doesn’t say there are 12 moons, there are 12 expressions of the one moon, there are 40 or 60 or 80 people in this room that doesn’t say they’re sixty or eighty self-realized or sixty or eighty Christ consciousness, it’s one Christ consciousness passing through all of us, it’s one God-self passing through all of us. It’s like the current in this room, the current in this room is already preset by the wiring and the power station that connects to this building. Now the main switch downstairs is a contact point and if the people in this building don’t pay their bills, they’ll cut it off and if they don’t make a contract with them, they can’t get any. So you know you recognize karma pretty fast, you don’t pay your bills the Lord will take care of you pretty fast and you got a contract with Him to live in this world plane because that’s where we come to living as a tenant in the body, the wires are the nerves they’re all preset, your nose is not over here and your lips are not up here, they’re all preset shaped, the current is hooked into you at the medulla. Now you have a switch just like that switch on the wall to turn off and on this power or plug in electrical equipment but you don’t go and pull the main switch to turn it off and spoil all the food in the refrigerator. So this so-called ability to play around with the switch is the pituitary gland, you play around with it as much as you want and make movements but no one would trust you to play around with your heart or your lungs or your kidneys, the Creative Intelligence would not suddenly turn over power to your conscious mind to switch it on or off. If you get a shock or some bad news and your conscious mind gets rattled, your heart would quiver and you would not know what to do to send more blood or less blood or to stop it or stop breathing or slow down your breathing because it starts quivering too fast and the survival mechanism would have to bring about a dictatorial command on your mechanism to slow down. It may put you in a state of a coma or put you into a state of unconsciousness or do something to you to make you realize that you consciously don’t control it. Now when you consciously control it from an ethical level then you can say like the Master said “No man take My life from Me, I have the power to lay it down, I have the power to pick it up.” Until that time we don’t have the power to lay down, we don’t have the power to pick it up. Yes? Audience: Could you speak how total frustration powers up your meditation? Adano: The search for realization begins in total frustration, if you weren’t frustrated you would not be searching. In the Eastern country they say “when a student is ready, a Master will be there,” the question is what constitutes readiness in a student for a Master and what is the Master supposed to do? The student cannot say he’s ready because he’s read books, he cannot say he’s ready because he loves God so great that God should suddenly come and give him knowledge, the student cannot say that he’s been more holy than thou or any other individual, he’s been obeying all the rules of the game and suddenly now he’s ready for the the grace of some realized individual. These would be incomplete ,incorrect forms of readiness because the term Master means one who has mastered himself and therefore have no frustrations, He is totally free for the first time He’s a free man, lord of himself. 1:40 He has freedom therefore he doesn’t have frustration and having this freedom, He can lead you now who has frustration and would be the very measuring stick of your readiness. When you are ready and you are frustrated and you have all the information in front of you and you can’t make it work, then you do like what they stick those tags on the wall “When everything else fails, follow instructions” and that’s what a disciple becomes, he follows the instructions of someone who has mastered the behavior patterns of his nature for the first time, that’s why they call him a disciple, he is now going to follow instructions. What type of instructions should he follow? We see from every teacher of truth the instructions are the same, ethical laws of how to behave leading towards an inner peace, a profound transformation of the cellular structure. There is no conflict in none of the teachings of the truth concerning the life of the disciple and a teacher, they’re all saying the same thing. So readiness of a disciple is total frustration. Yes? Audience: Someone has told me recently if you are going to be initiated and the question in my mind was “why are you going to be initiated.” Now I don’t know what that term implies, “initiated.” I haven’t been told and I don’t understand but the question (inaudible) “why are you going to be initiated?” What is that? Adano: Ask yourself why did Jesus, a great man, went to a man like John the Baptist who wasn’t supposed to be any greater than Jesus and asked him to throw water on His head? Do you know that scenery, that particular incident in Jesus’ life? He was a great man, all of a sudden He decides to go to someone who has no qualifications as far as just being some derelict in the wilderness shouting “Confess, confess, prepare ye the way!” So imagine walking up to a man like that and saying “Baptize me” and the other guy says “No you baptize me,” he says, “No you baptize me,” “no you baptize me,” a tug of war of wits but He says “Suffer it to be so for this is the way of righteousness.” Now the word baptism means initiation, that’s what it means, it does not have to do with a child being blessed in the church, that came years after when they did not know what to do with the children who were going to be slaughtered by the various governments at that time because the parents were being rounded up and herded into the arena to be eaten up by lions or something and many of the children were abandoned and they were shot so they had to come to some decision in their minds that these children had need of some type of expiation for thought patterns that they might incur or may not incur so they came to that conclusion that we should baptize children. So the adult after a while was no longer necessary to be baptized, it became only children so a long lineage of children being baptized today. What the true thing involved at baptism you realize that at baptism there is such a covenant as Godparents, why did he use the term Godparent? A Godparent is only that individual who will make it possible for that child to recognize God but now when you take it in the ritual life of the church and don’t confuse churchianity with Christianity, Christianity has nothing to do with churchianity. In the ritual life of the church the God-parent pledges when the child reaches 13 years of age, it will come for confirmation. In the mystic life the God parent is the Guru or the Master, Jesus was the God parent of His twelve disciples, He was a parent unto them, He made the way clear for them to show them how to live an ethical life and He first going to John to be baptized or initiated had to open the road in consciousness so when those came who gathered around Him, He was able to lift them. So initiation is not something you can buy, it’s a gift that’s why He said to His disciple, “You have not chosen Me, I have chosen you.” A Master gives us this as a gift because that is what it’s all for, it is to contact you or connect you back to your higher self. So to say that one is searching for it or hearing about it, let us put it this way if you weren’t ready for it, you would never hear of it and even when the day that it’s available for you to have it and the Lord don’t want you to be there come hell or high water you’ll never make it and if He wants you to have it, come hell or rainstorm or thunder you will be in that door where that initiation is being given as a gift, this is how it works. In other words, it has not to do with you, it has to do with your higher consciousness, the Christ in you pulling you back through a certain road inward. So when the time comes if you’re gonna have this particular experience no matter what you do, you will be there or you would not be there, it’s as simple as that. I let you folks go home, I know you want to go home, gosh. (Applause).
1972 May 7 - Part 1 Techniques in Prayer Healing
Adano72_05_07_1TechniquesInPrayerHealingQ1RR - Audience: Good afternoon, I’m Jeffrey First and it’s my pleasure to introduce our speaker today. We’ve just turned on the air conditioner and the question in our mind somewhat is can the people in the back hear perfectly all well over the noise of the air conditioner. If it gets difficult we can turn it off. It’s always been fascinating to me to see the mixture of the Eastern and Western philosophies that have intermingled and come to re-synthesize into the basic truths in recent years. Our speaker today Reverend Adano Christopher Ley is a product of Eastern and Western thought and ancestry having an Oriental father and a South American mother. It’s kind of awesome to end up introducing someone who spent some 21 years meditating at least eight hours a day and thinking how difficult it is for some of us to apply these disciplines for even much shorter periods of time but as he will tell you that where it is is in the application of these truths and today he’s going to be speaking on techniques in prayer healing. Interestingly enough last night on the evening news CBS had a about a five minute film clip of a man in England, an Anglican minister also named Christopher, last name Neil-Smith, who does spiritual prayer healing and exorcising sponsored by the Anglican church with their approval, has done over a thousand exorcisms in England. Now when the Church of England gets to that point and some of the other things that we’ve seen both in Virginia Beach and elsewhere around the country insofar as prayer and healing of what it can do, I think we can all share and learn a little bit more from Swami Nityananda Saraswati. Thank you. (Applause). Adano: Thank you Jeffrey. Can you hear me? I’m always accused of speaking very low you know. Before we start let us calibrate our minds especially for today we are dealing with healing and calibration of the mind is a form of healing, if you line up your consciousness, you will get it immediately. (Short meditation). Thank you. This is a very fascinating part of a spiritual research, healing, because every teacher of spiritual life has often been known to demonstrate healing qualities and when I’ve investigated most of it, I discovered that it’s not the person that is doing the healing, that there is one central force behind it all that is doing the healing and that is the Divine Life Energy. Remember what I just said, there is one central force or power behind all healing, the Divine Life Energy. This Divine Life Energy has become us all and we are either using it in lesser or greater degrees. If we don’t use it sufficiently then there must be some reason that is blocking it and that reason you call “dis-ease,” you’re “out of ease,” out of flow with that Creative Life Energy. Now you want to get back in a state of ease therefore the most natural thing that we would do is to try and utter words so if you’re in pain, the first thing you do is (Adano groans repeatedly), giving release. In so doing the life energy seems to respond to the groaning or the sound emitted by the human mechanism yet within that very behavior pattern lies one of the most unique methods or techniques of bringing about a healing. Now don’t think this is the only technique, there are many many techniques to bring about healing but this is the first natural expression brought to the surface by a mechanism “out of ease,” that is to grown. We fail to realize that groaning when developed properly is a scientific method for healing. Let’s think of it, the baby groans and we rush over to massage it but yet the growning is essential, the mother is pregnant and she’s growning too, the groaning is essential. When you bang any portion of the mechanism, you grunt and groan but that is essential because it releases stress, it releases the basic shock within the cells. If we can get this shock to continue to dissipate from that natural movement or natural sound, we can start the trend of bringing the life force back in balance within ourselves but because we’re afraid and we don’t know and environmental training, we seek some other form of therapy to heal it or to ease the ache not fully realizing that that groaning lies a very important principle. Groaning is sound and what is prayer? Prayer is sound, we are praying to the unseen force, it’s the same Creative Life Force we are praying to, that we’re sending sounds to, we’re channeling ideas to that Creative Life Impulse to correct the imbalance in the body. Yet if you could realize that a groan is a natural sound and if you could understand Sanskrit, that groan is a Sanskrit mantra, see interesting things. Sanskrit is the language of nature itself, the very sound power, sound potency locked up in the human mechanism and in all creation and within this human mechanism we have the letters of the alphabet of Sanskrit all placed in there by the Creator and the ancient men when they looked inside, they saw these symbols and at the same time they recognized the various sound potencies in us. 0:10 Now let us take anyone in the room who’s got some ache and let us try what is called the first experience of the groan. Just close the eyes and think of some ache that you want to release from the mechanism and let the consciousness groan. It’s not something to be ashamed of, in fact you’re applying an actual technique to release inner tension. If it’s easy or loud however you want it, let it be, let it flow out of your system. This is a way of discharging the pent-up tension from the ache or the pain in the body, the mere groan and it comes to you naturally what sound you will make. You don’t have to invent sounds for groaning, the mere body ache is a mantra and a mantra when repeated is release, that’s the power of a mantra. The power within a mantra is repetition, the mantra is the sound, the sound is within the mechanism, whatever the sound the mechanism wants to release then just repeat it. This is a natural thing children do yet we seem to lose it, to feel and whatever the sound is for that particular ache it comes to your mind either an “ah” or an “ooh” or “ahn,” some kind of a vowel sound will come up and that’s sufficient enough to indicate what that mantra is or sound is or prayer is and the mere repetition brings about identification, identification brings release, release is therapy. Okay? Now you can practice at home with it. The next technique that human being can apply naturally and it’s prayer in terms of healing and that is affirmation, to affirm. Some of us know that to mean positive thinking, well positive thinking means that you send the thought out with complete understanding, affirm it, and let it come into manifestation but remember this not all of us has the capacity or have the capacity to be positive right away. You know we can think positive but we don’t live positive right away, that’s the problem too. If you think of a positive thought and you try to bring your mind to it, it always seems something comes along and block it and then you don’t release, living positively and thinking positively are two different things all together. When we affirm a positive thought, we have to have an ideal, some ideal that has the behavior that will help us to live it now positive so we must look for an ideal. We can’t look to the tree as an ideal, we can’t look to an animal as an ideal, we can’t look to the sky for an ideal, we have to look a human being as the ideal. What is the ideal behavior behind the thought or affirmation? Well since we’re involved from the religious science, the greatest ideals are your religious teachers of truth, they have given the affirmations and they have given the behaviors and we can now incorporate the action with the thought. Let us take Master Jesus and use one of His affirmations pertaining to health, “Come on to Me all ye that travail and are heavily laden and I will refresh you.” I’ll repeat it again, you’ll notice there is no negative implication in those words, “Come unto Me,” leave what you’re doing, leave the very association with the negative thought condition and “come” that means surrender onto your Christ-self within you. You have an ache and a pain, the ache or the pain can be very very depressing, the attachment to it because of association from previous aches and pains, you may not automatically want to release or let go but “come unto Me” means drop it, detach for a second and let your consciousness go up to the vital life power, which is the Christ in you the God power, and let it regenerate you, regenerate those areas of your mechanism that are clogged up, blocked up, overworked and fatigued. So what can be clogged up or blocked up in this mechanism except the sensory nature, the very sensory nature that is relating or telegraphing ache or pain to the mind. I bang my hand and there’s a sensation here so my sense is remember, I saw I did it, I felt I did it, I heard I did it, I can smell it too it’s possible or even taste it but you know among the Indians on the reservation if you bang your hand they say lick it. Well I want to ask “why you say lick it?” They say saliva is good, what does a dog do when he bangs a portion of his body, he licks it. To the human being this seems like a piece of dirtiness but that is because we don’t comprehend what is working inside. To merely take the hand and lick it would seem to release stress, later on as we got more sophisticated equipment we will see saliva is a form of electrolytic discharge for pain. As soon as equipment is developed to prove that to you, you will start licking most of the pains off your body but this is an electrolytic discharge for the pain. In time we will become aware of it, it’s a healing and the mere gesture movement is a prayer. Prayer don’t necessarily mean only the words you know, it’s the intent and the identity that brings the healing, that brings the release. Jesus is saying to us “Come unto Me all ye that travail and are heavily laden and I will refresh you,” I will give you release, I will revitalize you. Well all right let us put this into effect, an affirmation in which we can participate right now. Anytime you look at a statue of Jesus, which is the most unique gesture that you gravitate to, can anyone demonstrate it? Right? Isn’t that the most one when you seem love to rush up to Him, this hand when He’s doing that you don’t want to go too close Him or when He’s like this you don’t want to go close but this is a strange expression yet let us take the gesture, the relationship of the gesture, and identify for a few minutes right here in the chair and see if you will not get release from it in your being. 0:20 You are actually coming back to the Creative Principle in yourself which is causing now discharge of the pent up emotions, the tensions flowing out from the endocrine system going out from the sensory nature of the body and the fingers begin to tingle. Now taking this gesture and taking another affirmation to bring about greater intensification, we can go to what Master Jesus said “I and My Father are one” and the sense of oneness is also healing, this sense of oneness is healing, this sense of oneness is identity and God being the pure life, the pure vitality, starts to pass through you flushing out that mechanism. Now as you bring your hands down try to hold on to the feeling that is passing through you. By holding on to the feeling you start the precipitation action in yourself, you cause something to precipitate within you, that level of buoyancy that you feel is starting to precipitate now and you’re holding on, it’s a feeling of ease. As you hold on to it you will feel the tension, the stress gradually flowing out from the body. Now you will feel like if you’re very light, you’ll feel like if you absolutely have no weight in your body, the whole body seems to be like it’s buoyant, there is the vitality flowing for the first time without any interruption, that buoyant feeling. Now if you start flipping back from that state to old ideas or all affirmations about yourself then you will disturb the result of the new affirmation about yourself. Therefore don’t flip back or don’t call back old affirmations about yourself but try to maintain the new affirmation of yourself. Don’t let the mind go back to old thought habits about yourself, let it stay in a new thought makeup of the self and let it permeate you. The longer it permeates you it’s like when cement is poured into a framing or a sort of a casing, it has to gradually dry, cure, and harden. Equally true an affirmation must go through these basic conditions within to have some tangible result, a hardening result of a new change in yourself otherwise you will flip back into the old routine. The third prayer technique, we took first the groan then we took affirmation let us take now a third prayer technique. The third prayer technique that one can have is chanting. In the East music has been known to relieve stress and bring about healing. In the West we know it as singing in the choir and participating in musical therapy, music is very important to releasing the stresses in the body and bringing about healing, that is to bring about a flow of the vital life power through the mechanism that is now willing to accept it. If we chant, we can start the same process in ourselves so in the East we have what is called chanting or Kirtan. Now those who have seen the Krishna conscious group people they’re always singing and chanting so if they got any worries, the worries don’t bother them no more and they are happy and then we go down and in Mississippi we says “sing away your blues brother, sing away those blues” and then Saul calls upon David to play upon his harp. You go down in some of the… what do we call it… the churches there where they they go into the spirituals. The mere gyration and rhythmic identification is a form of chanting or prayer healing. If you go on the reservations you know (Adano chants “hi ho” repeatedly) and the early pioneers they were so doggone worried at night when they were beating the tomtoms, “when are those people gonna stop?” They don’t know why the tomtoms are beating all night you know, they were working up into a prayer chant to become identified with themselves. Equally true we have many types of tensions and aggravations, frustrations from the daily activity around us, far more intense than our ancestors because in our ancestors time we could clobber the guy in the head and take off, today your clobber him with words or with expressions or suppress it so we have more to release. There was a time “Sing Along With Mitch” was doing a great deal for the country, he didn’t know what good he was doing but he was doing good if they’d only caught on. Well let us look at chanting as a means of releasing stress, I’ll chant a chant and you can join me, I’ll go ahead first, the words are very simple and it pertains to unloading this inner stress. It goes like this: “Who is in my temple? Who is in my temple? All the doors do open themselves, all the lights do light themselves. All the doors do open themselves, all the lights do light themselves. Darkness like a dark bird flies away o’ flies away. Darkness like a dark bird flies away o’ flies away.” (Adano chants with audience three times). 0:30 Feel, that is the important thing after a chant when using it as therapy is to feel. You are chanting primarily to increase the depth of feeling, at the same time bringing about release of the vital life power within the body giving you release, giving you back health. There are many chants and they’re so numerous that you can pick out any one you want, among the Christian hymns there are many wonderful chants. I know this one is very beautiful if you familiar with it: “And He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own and the joys we shared as we tarry there none other has ever known.” You see the mere idea that you’re shifting away from your aches and pains to be identified with the rhythm, this is starting release/discharge in the body and bringing about therapy. The fourth prayer technique is suggestion. Many of us are not aware that suggestion plays a very important part in our lives and suggestion can be used as a prayer technique because Man perceives through his senses and he has to be receptive to the outside world and whatever the outside world will program for him, he will respond. Good salesmanship is good suggestions. Now wrong suggestions can make you sick yet good suggestions can make you feel well. Supposing you walk in the room and on that sign on the door says “The food in here is for the dogs.” Right away that suggestion can leave an impression on your mind and yet some places would advertise “This is the only greasy spoon restaurant.” This is how suggestion can play marvelous tricks on the mind. One place calls itself the greasy spoon and it can be very clean, another calls itself “the food is good for the dogs.” The mind may accept these as games yet when the mind can accept suggestion in terms of therapy then it can do wonders. You know some people can’t take novocaine when they go to the dentist, they have a violent reaction and a dentist may have to use suggestive therapeutics or suggestive methods or ideas to relax the person in order to give them the necessary therapy to take the tooth out. Once we understand how suggestion work, we can now trigger the life force to move. If you’re a lethargic person, it’ll take you a while to get suggestion to react in your body let alone in your mind because if you’re very lethargic, very indifferent you try to shut out so you don’t want to hear, you don’t want to listen and suggestion depends upon listening for it to be effective. So you find it’s not the person who is the most educated that is the least susceptible to suggestion, he’s the most susceptible to suggestion because he wants to listen more. It’s the person who doesn’t want to listen, doesn’t want to get involved with anything that person is difficult to suggest anything. So we as individuals who have a higher awareness, a higher sensitivity, a higher involvement with things, a higher participation are quick to respond to suggestion therefore suggestion will work faster for us than for other people who don’t get involved. It’s difficult for them to accept because if you can understand some of the mechanics involved in thinking then suggestion becomes easy for you to do it. It’s when you don’t understand then you are fearful, then you’re in doubt, then you set up blocks or walls, therefore you’re indifferent. So suggestion becomes easy now for individuals who have a higher sensitivity, a higher participation level than others who don’t have a high participation level or sensitivity level, the more you can participate, the greater the effect of suggestion working for you. Suggestion is like a lever that can pry loose the blocked up energy in some part of the mechanism and cause it to move. Most of our suppressed thought patterns are actually suggestions at one time and we suppress them because we don’t have any need for them or we’re afraid to release them or we get too bogged down and therefore we can’t empty it out or discharge it, we need counter suggestions to help us discharge. Well let us see how we can apply suggestion now in terms of releasing stress, anxiety in ourselves. Suggestion usually comes in terms of sound, symbols but here is a way that we can use suggestion that is very simple and we will go back to Master Jesus with the healing technique how He use suggestion and see if we can’t participate in His suggestive technique. He said to a certain man when He healed him, “Go tell no man,” that was a suggestion. He says “Go tell no man,” He was suggesting to this individual that was healed not to tell anything and what was the result? The man went and spilled the beans. You see a peculiar phenomenal suggestion? To tell someone not to do something is to make them do something, “Don’t eat the apple” make you eat the apple. So what are we learning from a suggestion? If we want to get results what must we tell ourselves? “Don’t get well, remain sick. Love your misery, enjoy it.” Sooner or later this subconscious part of you say “Hey wait a minute buddy, you ain’t running this mechanism, it’s I who is running it. I don’t want to have this ache and pain.” Suggestion will start releasing. The first time it happened to me I thought I was crazy that something like this would work in reverse but after a while I found out it was one of the natural laws of suggestion, that on a verbal level and a survival level there is a cross flow. That if you tell yourself something, something back of your mind says “Who are you kidding?” But if you want that particular portion of your mechanism to do the thing that is supposed to be done for your benefit, don’t suggest to it the opposite, otherwise it will reverse it, you have to suggest something that it does not want to do consciously but will do subconsciously. In other words, don’t tell yourself you want to get well, tell yourself you want to get sicker and sicker before you know it the subconscious mind will want to go the opposite direction. The moment you say you want to get well, do you notice what happens? Everybody seems to get sicker more, things seem to come crashing in. You say you want to get spiritual and what happens, you get more materialistic. 0:40 You don’t want to get materialistic, you suddenly seems to get spiritual, it is a peculiar phenomena in this suggestive movement. Now that doesn’t say all the time this will work, it will work a great portion of the time depending upon your own mental relationship. There are times when the suggestion is a suggestion and when released gives the exact result, it is a matter of recognizing that too, that when you say to yourself “I want to do this” and then the energy is released. That type of suggestion is linked in with willpower, that is the ability to lock desire to willpower, this is a different type of suggestion, it’s not a suggestion that is dependent upon the survival nature of the mechanism to respond in contrary to this suggestion, the one that Jesus gave was contrary to the man’s makeup so the man did the opposite. Now we want to do the suggestion that is in accordance with willpower so if we give a suggestion in accordance with willpower then we will find that this is different. Willpower is the energy triggered off by the desire, you see the word “power” is there, life power and will is the craving or the desire, these two forces are locked in now depending upon the idea or the suggestion. Once you place the suggestion, you must execute some type of activity or maintain some type of pressure to bring about results, that’s where they get the suggestion now “where there is a will, there’s a way.” You see it? This is a positive suggestion utilizing willpower, “where there is a will, there is a way,” where there is a suggestive force, there is a driving force but this is employed or released on a conscious level and you have to sustain it. If you don’t sustain it, it will not come into manifestation so we can see then suggestion when it’s applied utilizing willpower and to sustain it, it’s hinging on a particular principle, “the greater the desire, the greater the flow of the energy.” “The greater the desire, the greater the flow of the energy” so suggestion, the idea must be there and you must have this desire for it and you must execute this persistency to release it and have the experience. Not too long ago I met a young man who had an automobile accident and injured his back in New Jersey five years ago and could not get up out of the wheelchair. Now the time allotted to me to work with him was very short, he could not get out of the chair himself, he had to be helped and put in. According to the doctors he is not paralyzed, the cord is not damaged but some of the nerves have been in a state of shock. Normally he should be able to get up and walk but there is no way by therapy known to release this particular condition. After one year of his accident they found out that he had the spine twisted and didn’t even know it, the doctors found that out after a year of x-rays that the spine was twisted. When I met him they told me his situation, I knew that I could not help this man unless this man was willing to exert some degree of will so I told him that the will releases the energy and once we can release this energy by the will, he will be able to stand up and move but it will take him time to walk, to get his body to correct itself. After working with him for an hour or two getting him to relate to the suggestion that nothing physically according to the doctors are out of order but strictly within him is a lack of the will to move the body. I couldn’t tell him to walk is to sit down, that would be the reverse you know, that particular technique wouldn’t work so if I said to him “sit down and enjoy your wheelchair,” he may get up, get angry, and say “I can prove it to you now,” you know, that’s what I call daring the person but I could not do that because it wouldn’t work on him. By making him realize he has the willpower within him and the willpower within him is the Divine Willpower, all he has to do is exercise it. So we prayed and he closed his eyes and began to accept now that his will power, not the Divine Power that’s going to heal him, his own willpower is going to be raised up now for the first time, he’s going to raise the maximum ability of his willpower to work for him. We can’t treat the illness, we have to treat the thing that is necessary within him to give him the strength or the confidence in himself. So we prayed that his willpower would increase, we did not pray that he would get up to walk, we did not pray that the illness go away, we prayed that his willpower will increase so that he can release that particular block in his mind and let this energy flow. While praying for the will to increase, the man relived the entire accident in the automobile, he went through every physical motion of getting in the car, you can see the body going through body language movements, going up to the point where he crashed into the truck and groans. Well you know this may sound pretty horrible but you let the man groan too so I waited and he groaned and groaned to the point where all the grown precipitated out of his system and he realized that he was in the hospital and the doctors were working on him and then he remembered what they said, that they can do nothing, he can’t walk but they don’t find anything wrong with him, he had to get even that out of his system, that type of suggestion of his system and we kept on praying for him to accept his will because the will itself would not respond. When he could accept the will, his mother was standing in the room with his brother and he raised himself on the chair, they were rushed to help him I says, “No leave him. If he make it, he make it, if he don’t make it, try next time” and he struggled, struggled and you see it’s like a chicken trying to break out of a shell and those looking on might say to themselves Adano is a very cruel man, he doesn’t give a helping hand to this person but you can’t interfere, you have to let that will work, really work from inside. So he struggled, struggling, and all he’s repeating “I have more will, I have more will,” he’s suggesting, this is the suggestion, “I have more will.” As he struggled repeating the word and he wasn’t talking too good that you could understand because his tongue, his neck was twisted and the voice is struggling to even suggest to the mind “I have more will.” Eventually he got up straight upright for the first time and held onto the chair with his eyes open and looked around. Then we asked him if he could make one step forward and this was the most crucial pain in his mind but he barely could lift the leg but he couldn’t move them forward and he kept on saying “I have more” and we said that was sufficient for today, you have overcome a great obstacle in releasing this energy through the spine and he was able to sit back down and he went home. That night they said for the first time the man could sleep, his body began to relax. 0:50 The next day when I saw him he was able again to get up on his own, standing up on the wheelchair and sitting back down and making efforts to move the feet forward. As my time was limited, all that was left for him to do if those are around him would maintain the atmosphere of increasing his will, I would say in a short space of that time to come the man will walk. Now there is no miracle yet it is a miracle, here is the spiritual principle working for the first time. His prayers for greater will started to increase and he was able to manually move his body and put it into application so suggestion as a technique in prayer healing is very very important. Now we come to another technique in prayer healing, that was suggestion and suggestion with willpower. The next technique in prayer healing is calling on Divine Will to flow through you because in your scriptures they say “nothing moves except by Divine Will” but when you are ill many of us do not know what Divine Will is and many of us are in doubt as to its results yet many of us reach out to a Divine Principle asking for intervention, if we understand what Divine Will is and how it functions in us then we can draw on this Divine Will to bring about healing. If we pray for anyone that is ill we usually end up saying “Thy will be done.” You heard what I just said? If you’re going to pray for someone, you usually end up saying “Thy will be done,” never for one moment realizing what we are actually triggering off yet this Divine Will must flow through us to bring about healing in certain ways. When we pray for someone and merely end up saying “Thy will be done,” we are in a sense praying in a type of spiritual blanket, we are sending out this particular love, asking for a response from the vital power to intercede in the illness of the individual but not really aware of which one of the frequencies of this vital power has actually flowed in and corrected the individual. Modern science has gone as far as to show that Man’s thoughts do affect plant life and in certain ways whatever thought you impress upon a plant that plant will begin to take it and shape itself. If you pray and send hate to this flower, this flower will start to shrivel up, if you send love it will start to bloom yet researchers have shown that individuals can pray love over some things and it die and others can pray hate over some things and it grow and some will pray neither hate nor love would affect it, one day you can pray love and one day you can pray hate and nothing will happen to the seeds. When you realize that not all of us are working on the same frequency to use Divine Will, Divine Will flow through us in different frequencies. It will be just like 110 power is passing through this building from the main switch yet the bulbs in the building can have different wattages, each one of us can be a expression of this power according to certain wattage or a certain release. That doesn’t say one person is more superior than the other no, in the brain this is happening that we release this power differently at different times for different uses and we are all distinct, all unique. When this power flows through you on a conscious level you first have to be able to calibrate that to know on what frequency the brain is in in order to have that particular result, otherwise we would be praying and saying for the individual “Thy will be done.” We can go through many types of prayers and at the same time end up saying “Thy will be done” but if we know exactly what frequency the brain is lined up for to utilize Divine Will then that particular image for manifestation will begin to occur, you know now what frequency Divine Will flows through you. Divine Will flows through us first in the frequency of dissolving. The second frequency it flows through us is elimination. The fourth frequency is to strengthen, the third I mean is to strengthen, and the fourth is to rebuild but you don’t know which one of these four you are utilizing, all you know that when you pray Divine Will be done for this person and all of a sudden either the person gets well, gets strong, his body starts rebuilding but you don’t know which one went out. If the person suddenly starts to discharge certain substances out of the body when you pray for them, you don’t know which one has caused it. Until you can calibrate your brain or have the experience of where the brain is calibrated to find out which one of the frequencies Divine Will is flowing through you then that would be your particular brainwave charge to direct the healing. Now Master Jesus knew all five, the fifth one is life over death, there are four that we are aware of and the fifth one is rare. Divine Will flows through us first as to eliminate or dissolve, dissolving first, it dissolves all problems that are there like it flushes it out, causes it to break down. Eliminate, it causes it to dehydrate out of the system. To strengthen is to restore strength in the mechanism and to rebuild, set the molecules of the body to rebuild themselves and finally life over death, these are the five forces the Divine Will flows through us. Now if we don’t know which one of the five and we say “Thy will be done,” something will happen in that person’s life and they are well but you don’t know which one so Divine Will is important. When we are familiar with this particular one we’re working with as we understand plant research and see how thoughts affect them, we will find now that our own particular frequency is the channel for Divine Will to flow through us. We have to discover that for ourselves otherwise we would simply be saying “Thy will be done” and leave it to the Divine Intelligence to bring it into manifestation. It isn’t that we should not be aware of our own specific flow and leave Divine Will to carry on, it is that we should be aware of the specific flow and understand how it’s carried on by the Divine Principle. We must participate and by participating we become masters of ourselves, prayer techniques help us to become masters of ourselves. There is also healing techniques through imagination. Now in imagination we use symbols and we can get into a prayer group and we often close our eyes and imagine we are in a hole and each one of us is traveling up this hole or a cave towards a light and the cave can represent the illness, the mental depression. 1:00 Along this cave towards the light there is a dragon, that is your so-called confrontation and you will be given a shield or sword or some weapon to go ahead and cut your way out between you and the dragon to the clear light, this internal imagery can cause release now. If you want to try it out and see what is the result of healing by imagination, we can do that in a matter of a few seconds. Let us close our eyes and see inside the brain, it’s a dark hole, and furthermost end of the darkness it’s an opening representing health or release or light and from where you’re watching to that opening in the darkness is the distance you have to travel so the ache or the pain is that particular dragon or creature that is lurking in the darkness, the sword and the shield is your willpower and you want more willpower to face this particular mental block. Now you can use the Christ ideal and that would be like Jesus driving out the money changers out of the temple. Now He drove them out but he did not kill them so He gave them a good spanking and drove them out. Equally true in this imagination process you can see yourself now giving all these thought patterns a good spanking and driving them out, out of your mental temple. Various angers, fears, doubts, resentments, tension, shortcomings, they’re only representative of creatures like bugs, some of them may look like animals and if you don’t want to spank because some of us are so over programmed that we shouldn’t strike, then take a hose and turn it on and swash it out with some good disinfectant, just hose down the inside of the mind, flowing it out, flowing it out. (Short meditation). Okay? To finalize our discussion there are many many techniques but I’ll give you one more that you can use for prayer healing. In thoughts, most of us don’t realize we don’t think in words, we all think in pictures, even when we want to think of God it will be a mental picture or a mental image. An illness also has an image or some shape or form and if you were to relate to someone, the illness, you would have to draw it and that can be expressed in terms of color since we are individuals who think in images or pictures, we think also in color. Now there are seven colors in your spectrum and the ones that we are concerned with are lined up along the spinal column. From the base of the spine to the top of the head we are concerned with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, violet. If we take some ache or pain that we know of or some deep seated feeling that we haven’t resolved in ourselves and we want to bring about a healing, we can start what is called the color prayer, the prayer in colors. So you think of that particular incident in the color of red and see it gradually dissolving itself and flowing out of your system in red, let’s try it because action speaks louder than words. Take some thought, some incident, if you can see it all right and try to recall it and see it flowing out in the color of red out of the spine into a red garbage bin. The shock, the anxiety, the tension, the resentment, all flowing out of the body into a red garbage bin and the Christ is standing in the room sending you love and forgiveness and you in turn is sending love and forgiveness to the individual you had the confrontation with and all of this is flowing out into a red garbage bin. Now the whole scenery will change into orange, if you see the orange it’s okay, if you don’t see it it’s occurring in the orange spectrum of the consciousness and you will relive the same experience again and feel it flowing out of your system into an orange garbage bin. All the tension, all the shock, all the hostility, and the resentment flowing out and the Christ is standing in the room sending you back love and forgiveness and you in turn sending love and forgiveness to the individual that you have the confrontation with and all of this is flowing out of the system into an orange garbage bin. Now the whole scenery is going to change into yellow, if you see the yellow it’s okay, if not it’s occurring in the yellow spectrum of your consciousness and again you will relive the entire experience, the confrontation, the anxiety, the tension, the stress and all of this will flow out of you into a yellow garbage bin and the Christ principle is standing in the room sending you love and forgiveness and you in turn sending love and forgiveness to the individual or individuals that you had the confrontation with and it’s all flowing out of you like a hot hot heat into a yellow garbage bin. 1:10 Now the scenery is going to change into green and green is in line with the heart and you’re going to relive those same experiences flowing it out from the heart. All the tension, the anxiety, the stress, the confrontation with the individual or individuals flowing away from the heart and the Christ is standing in the room sending you back love and forgiveness and you in turn is sending love and forgiveness to the individual and it’s flowing away from the heart. The scenery will change again now into blue surrounding the throat and from the throat you will relive the entire experience again, the pain, the anguish, the grief, the disappointment, and all of this is flowing away from the throat like a heat and the Christ is in the room sending you love and forgiveness and you in turn sending love and forgiveness to the individual or individuals in that blue light away from the throat. Now the whole scenery will start to change into purple in line with the medulla oblongata or the back of the head and you will relive the experience again, the anguish, the tension, the resentment, the grief, and all that flow out from that part of the brain and the Christ is in the room sending you back love and forgiveness and you are sending the love and forgiveness back to the individual and all of it is going out the back of the brain into a purple light. Gradually the whole scenery will change into violet and that is in the forehead now. If you see the violet okay, if not it’s still occurring in the violet spectrum and you will relive the entire experience, the anguish, the pain, the grief, the disappointment, and all of this is flowing out of you from the forehead and the Christ is standing in the room sending you love and forgiveness and you in turn sending love and forgiveness to the individual. Now everything will start to diminish in size except you and the Christ, the scenery, the person you have the confrontation with, the problem, will all diminish now right down to the size of a penny. You and the Christ will start to get taller, taller, and taller bigger, bigger, and bigger and your arm will get very strong especially the right arm, very strong and you can reach up now and take that little penny of violet light wherever it is even if you don’t see it just reach up to the forehead where it is and take it from that spot like a hot heat and throw it away from you and see it explode into white light. As you throw it, it’ll explode like white light and flow in like healing power into your body. If you hold on to it then you’re not letting go but to make the physical movement of reaching up and throwing it is to cause the release by gesture and therefore the white light or flowing energy will start flowing into the body. It’s flowing into your body right now, correcting the tension from the pineal gland, the tension from the pituitary gland or forehead, from the medulla in the back of the head, all the eyes, ears, nose, lips this energy is starting to descend and yawning is a very first symptom of release, crying is even greater release, heavy sighing is even a greater release of its stress and the tension and is flowing out, flowing out of the body, and more and more energy is coming in all the way down the neck through the shoulder blades into the arms, into the feet and now this energy will start rising back up through your body in waves of laughter and your whole body will start to laugh and I want you to have a good laugh. Believe me it’s very important to laugh, you look at each other and let this laughter be infectious. Enjoy it, enjoy the laughter because it’s infectious. (Audience laughing). Thank you. (Applause). Audience: A word about this evening’s lecture which will be the last of the weekend series, it’ll be here at eight o’clock and the title is Devotion Key to Realization, total recall and if you have any question about Adano and his activities later on this week you could check with June Trop. June probably some of them don’t know you on site, would you stand up June. You can check with June. We’ll take about a five minute break. (Gap in tape). Adano: We would like to send out a special healing to a friend who has a problem with the heart. Tonight we’ll try out a very unusual technique, everyone’s heart is vibrating within him normally and magnetically each one of us is connected to one another by the breath. As long as that individual is breathing, we are all connected, life connects us and to bring about the healing utilizing the heart, we’re going to center our minds on the heart and it’s rhythm. What we’re trying to establish magnetically and electrically in that individual that needs it is a balanced rhythm in the heart right now, there is a need for it. 1:20 So understanding the mechanics or what will be involved your own balanced rhythm of the heart will start to stabilize the unbalanced rhythm magnetically of the individual who is in the need and by centering the mind on the heart in the color of green, think of the color green because it controls this section and just breathe normally and feel this divine rhythm that controls all hearts is magnetically flowing out and the individual’s name is John. So as we close our eyes and breathe normally and let the natural rhythm of the heart flow and carry itself magnetically towards John. The Divine Will is already passing through you, you don’t have to say anything or interfere with it, you allow it to flow through you, through the heart in its natural rhythm and it’s flowing out magnetically to John wherever he is and he is becoming magnetically aligned with the natural heart rhythm. (Short meditation). The secret of the success lies in the ability to let go and let the natural heart rhythm magnetically telegraph to John’s heart rhythm. (Short meditation). Okay so the Christ is standing in the room and His sacred heart is synchronizing all the hearts and John’s heart rhythm in the one rhythm so (Adano chants): “Listen listen listen to my heart song. Listen listen listen to my heart song. I will never forget thee, I will never forsake thee. I will never forget thee, I will never forsake thee.” (Chanted 3 times). Beloved Christ consciousness we thank You for manifesting this in our lives now. (Adano chants “Om” 5 times). Thank you. Any questions you want to ask? Audience: Is it just as effective to lay your hands on someone or just to send out mentally? Adano: Both, some people may resent the fact that you touched them. If they are accepted then so much the better, you always have to give them that right. If they participate which is very good, they should, then the laying on of the hands is important, Master Jesus did it. Audience: We also have to believe that they’re going to be healed, is this absolutely necessary because some people say well you know if you want to heal me, fine do I have to believe and I and I always answer, it helps. Adano: Well this is the question that Master Jesus did not do anything until He was asked therefore offering no resistance yet He went to a place to help them and they did not ask yet He said “With these people I can do nothing.” So you see asking is a necessary prerequisite for healing but if we go primarily to do something in an area and there is the doubt and the hostility, the resentment, we might as well do like Master Jesus admit that these people love their illness. Don’t you know lots of people who love their illness, they don’t want to get rid of it because that’s the only means they can hold on to you? Audience: Supposing you you didn’t go to heal now and the person never asked you (inaudible). Adano: Grace. Audience: I never asked. Adano: Grace, you see is that wonderful blessing that comes to you without asking, see? Audience: I wanted to ask this last night but I never got the chance. You were talking about we don’t want to accept God (inaudible). Adano: Well it has to do with healing, God and His conditions bring sometimes agony first before relief, brings tremendous impact before you have realization. We are trying to regulate how God should give us the relief, how God should give us the realization, we are too busy trying to set it up according to our own prescribed way of experience. Now when it comes to you, Master Jesus said “It will come like a thief in the night.” A thief does not tell you when he’s gonna come and rob you but after the robbery is over you say what a fool you are not to sit up all night and wait for him. So God’s way of giving us anything is unanticipatory, we cannot anticipate how God gives us things. You realize now? Yes? 1:30 Audience: When a person’s pride stands in the way of his (inaudible). Adano: Well then he has to pray for the Lord to remove the pride. Audience: But he doesn’t realize this pride. Adano: Oh yes he realizes it because he knows he doesn’t want to lose face, he knows. Audience: But no one else can pray for that person. Adano: You can pray for the person to recognize he has the pride, you can pray for the person to suddenly get an illumination that pride is the thing he has to let go of but you don’t pray to remove his illness. If pride is blocking his illness then remove the very first thing that is blocking it, pray for him to get the awakening to accept that this pride is blocking and when this pride is no longer there he will see the condition. Audience: Would you comment on where someone is say unconscious from an auto accident and you can’t ask for (inaudible). Adano: Yes, as long as someone has asked for it. There are many people on the highway knocked over by automobiles and are unconscious, you’re not aware of it, he’s not aware of it but if someone should say to you “such and such a person just had an auto accident, could be do something, pray?” Yes, then they will get the benefit but we don’t just jump and say we pray for the whole world of unconscious people in auto accidents because we’re not going to help them that way. Now if we are deeply concerned from a prayer technique for the benefit of the individual, we should be praying that individuals are more aware of themselves when they enter the highway to drive. This should be something that we call “creating the environment” now. We have a right to create an environment of safety in consciousness just as much as a policeman has a right to regulate traffic for the benefit of the individual, we as individuals have a right to generate a safety consciousness environment. In other words we can take part in things that are essential to make individuals more responsible in their growth, this will be doing more for them. See if we pray, let’s say now out there people are driving their automobile, some are not too conscious of what they’re doing or responsible for what they’re doing, they’re taking chances. We can then pray for the healing vibrations to flow in the atmosphere all the time to make individuals responsible of their obligations. Now we’re not going to prevent them from getting into accidents or we not going to pray and say that if they get into an accident they’re going to be well, that’s not what we’re doing. We’re trying to set up a safety conscious environment and a response to the responsibility involved in driving. It’s equally true we can set up what is called a health conscious environment of individuals taking more active part in their health. We can establish the environmental field, “as you think that is what you are” so if you’re conscious of your own home and set up in your own home this environment for health safety then this can extend out now to include others in that way many people will be suddenly awakening from the ignorance. All right look at it… Audience: Can karma sometimes prevent the effectiveness of (inaudible). Adano: Yes it can, it can, the karma can. You see the karma can block it because the karma is so strong in some people and so deep seated in them they can’t turn loose even when they want the healing they are still blocking. Yes? Audience: Swamiji are we obstructing karma’s natural path if we direct the energies to heal someone else? Adano: Well remember this, individuals who take upon themselves to heal if it’s a profession like the medical profession they are using certain laws to bring about healing of the individual. Now the doctor may not fully aware it’s all karma, he is doing the best he can under the circumstances to bring about that healing. If we’re dealing with healing by prayer thoughts then we’re dealing with a different force field all together now, we’re dealing with thought patterns that traded these results in that individual. The doctor is not concerned with the thought pattern right away, the individual is ill, he’s brought to the doctor as a last resort, the doctor does what he can to alleviate the pain but when he digs into the history of the man’s illness, he may find it goes beyond mere physical laws, it may go into the super-physical laws or metaphysical laws and there he’s running into karma true but he is already placed in the position by the patient and the patient’s relatives to be on demand to be involved with it. Now when you’re on demand and to be involved with it then you have that particular responsibility to carry. Jesus did not take on what He did not commit himself to, He committed Himself whenever they ask so we are not blocking karma or taking it on or the karma is responsible, we are simply being a channel now to relieve it whenever it’s asked of us so it’s necessary that we may ask you see. Audience: What would you suggest for persons who are no longer sure of their rational judgment? The reason I’m asking, I lost two brothers to a drug culture and neither one of them desired a more spiritual real life (inaudible) they don’t know whether they are hallucinating (inaudible). Adano: You have three choices: take over their responsibility and run their life for them one. Two, they have to ask you and if they don’t have the capacity to ask and you have concern then you have to work with that choice of being the go-between to get them back in a rational way, after all they are living beings or your brother, they’re related to you. The third is the collective help of others, through their concern if you turn to others with this concern and those who are competent to participate they can help you now with the person. These are the three ways you’ll find yourself eventually facing. As long as they are no longer competent of doing anything you may have to assume that responsibility. Now remember when you assume the responsibility if you think the responsibility is going to make us weaker then that is what you don’t want to involve yourself with but if the responsibility would make you stronger, give you more insight into your fellow Man then I’d say take it because “greater responsibility, greater the person.” Karma is not fatalistic or any condition in this world is fatalistic, it’s an opportunity to test ourselves if we can rise above it and do something constructive, though they may hate you after you make them well. But that’s all right, better to be hated for making them well than not to have tried, you see what I mean? 1:40 Audience: If you find yourself in an illness and you know everyone’s praying and expect for the illness to be eliminated, you know something to be eliminated, then you resign yourself and say “I’m at the right place at the right time for the right experience?” Uou know you gotta go through it? Adano: Yes, that’s Divine Will, you’re working with it and don’t back down, ask for the courage to face it. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: No don’t refuse help, never refuse help. Remember you don’t refuse anybody any kind of help, they need help sometimes, they may not be rational enough to ask for their help. Now remember you’re taking the chance of the responsibility, when you take that responsibility you must be concerned with the implications in it because whenever you react with it, you’re the one that will say to yourself you wish you never got into it but don’t make that the remark after you get into it, you see because you don’t want that to be some escape. Once you get into the thing, once you accept the thing which is confrontation or commitment, once you make a commitment then you want all the help you can to resolve it even though that person may detest you after you make them well. You don’t know if they’ll detest you or they may love you. Granted they may love you which you anticipate they should do but are those who may hate you even after you make them well, they’ll say, “Why don’t you leave me in my misery?” You see, all right good, you did that, you got strength out of it but if the individual is not bent on destroying himself after you pull them out, you try your best, you can only send them love and you have to do like Jesus, “With these people I can do nothing.” They are so bent, they are so imprisoned in their thought patterns to destroy themselves and you know you’re trying your best and others around you are equipped to do it, trying their best and the person still continues. Yes? Audience: My father has been on a list for a year, he has emphysema but I talked to him before and he said, “How do I get on that list, what do you do to get on a prayer list?” You know like the one we had and so he did ask but I wondered if this was karmic, emphysema is any particular karma… Adano: If he asked, if he asked, if he asked then we can respond and it’s very simple to respond. Remember healthy people breathe through their lungs, unhealthy people have a blockage in their lungs right? Now God is breath of life so the technique would be very simple, as a group let us all center our minds on the lungs. Magnetically this will flow back to that man wherever he is your father, it will magnetically flow back to him because there is a rhythm in everything and the Christ is the Divine Power already in the physical form. God has already set His creative force field in the form of the Christ in the personalized aspect of creation. That is why so we can go to God immediately which is outside of creation, God within creation is a personalized aspect called the Christ, “Come unto Me,” come unto the Christ principle when you’re lined up. So your lungs and his lungs are lined up with a rhythm, you have a normal lung movement and he has an abnormal, you want to line up. By lining this up now, you want this thing to flow back. Now the Christ is that Divine Principle that breathes upon the process of this mechanism, bring that into focus. Now we don’t have disease unless we’ve broken some natural law so a disease is a result of a violation of something so we can say it’s karma, if that’s the word we want to use, it’s karma but even though we call it karma or violation, the importance of this alignment is forgiveness. We don’t know what it is he did to cause him to have the emphysema, we’re not concerned about that, we’re concerned with the fact that we can line up our lungs with his lungs on a rhythmic base. We are breathing therefore he needs to breathe, we are connected by air and the Christ principle is involved in all of us. We are not concerned with the cause of it, we’re concerned primarily of the association to bring about a balance because he asked. So Jesus would say “Your sins are forgiven you,” don’t worry about it, just let it flow so if you line the lungs up and think of his lungs, this is a relationship with the flow back. Many people who have done this type of attunement sometimes even feel the very symptoms of the illness in their body and then it disappears out of their system. When you bring a Christ into it and focus it, after a while those symptoms begin to go out of the body. Now if you feel the symptoms going out of your own body, you know a healing is going back there. Yes? Audience: How could you help in a case of possession? Adano: When you say possession which one you’re inferring? Audience: I mean possessed by a disincarnate entity. Adano: Well first we have to know if it’s a disincarnate entity really possessing him or his own thought patterns feeding back and acting it out. See many of us appear to have the symptoms of possessiveness or obsession from some disincarnate being when in reality the being will be totally blameless and not be there, we have to find out what we’re talking about. This discharge of energy can take on that particular condition, the negative forces in us can take on that, it can take on all types of shapes and behavior and give us all the behavior, make us crawl on the floor, squirm, and do everything and you may believe you’re totally obsessed by some being from some other dimension, we don’t even know how this mechanism will go through it. This mechanism is capable of putting itself into 84,000 positions and you’ll think you got 84,000 disincarnate beings in you. So as to find out which one we’re talking about, if truly you’re obsessed or possessed by some being or if the negative energy is so locked up in you that it is causing this malfunction to appear and you may appear to be talking in all types of sounds, you may hear all kinds of voices strictly coming all from the suppressed mechanism so it’s a matter of knowing which we’re dealing with. In the case with Jesus and the man who lived in the cemetery, when he was brought to Jesus the first remark they made to Jesus, “We know who you are, let us go.” Jesus was an initiate and if it’s an incarnate entity in that man’s body, if that entity was there, that entity is not an initiate therefore it cannot stand within the frequency of Jesus. So it would not want to be exposed so it will immediately go out and then it will seek exit into another body form so it chose the swine to go into. Now if the person is possessed we can pray to exorcise that person and create a healing but we have to be certain if that is truly what we are driving out and maybe not that we’re driving up, maybe we’re actually released for the first time pent up negative charges which gives the person release, we have to realize what is happening you see? 1:50 Now how do you know the person is obsessed? Was he dabbling in any kind of metaphysical practice that would cause him to be obsessed? You see these are things we have to check into first before we can say he is obsessed. It isn’t that they don’t exist, don’t get me wrong, they do exist but to still be certain that this is what is occurring before we go say that’s what it is. Now Jesus, if you’re in doubt that it’s not negative force field suppressed, if you think it is an entity possessing the person then do the exorcism of the early churches by walking around the body and commanding the spirit to leave the body in the name of the Christ and if this being that is supposed to be talking through this body would admit that Christ was in the human body, that this Christ consciousness came into the human body at one time, if it will admit that that Jesus was a realized Man then the mere thought would start the process changing, you can drive it out and an energy force will come in to correct it. Now we have the angels, these are energy forces that were designed by the Creator to minister unto Man, you can call on these forces to participate in driving out that entity in the body. Now if there aren’t no entity to deal with, this is what we’re trying to establish, if there is an entity we can call on the Christ to correct it, if there aren’t no entities then we have to call on something else first before we can correct it, we have to know exactly what is going on inside. Yes? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You know some Masters would tell you to go see a doctor. Don’t run from the doctor until you know, he may have a quick remedy for the allergy too, sometimes when they can’t do it then you may go to a prayer technique. All right we are confronted with something, we’re afraid to go to the doctor because it costs too much money, that’s number one, that’s our basic fear. Number two we’re afraid to go to the doctor because we don’t know what they’re doing and it’s easier to get down on your knees and pray because this seems to be the quickest way and would be a more wholesome way yet you may not realize that going to the doctor that’s one way God is working through doctors too but the particular problem you have to solve may have to be resolved by that method too. Many methods are there to resolve it and if you want to resolve it, always check it out first. If you want to use prayer then remember that God has no blemish, God is pure light. In your consciousness if you have a thought that is impeding and can’t release it then it’s going to come out as a blemish. Now before your particular symptom appeared, can you remember of having any shock or disappointment? Before it occurred in your body, was there any shock, any disappointment in your life? Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: You see many of these allergies are not necessarily karma too, it’s not necessarily we did anything, remember there was a blind man that came to Jesus and they brought him and he says “Who sinned, the parent or the man?” And He said “neither” so if neither were involved then it’s nothing to do with karma let alone nothing to do with heredity. Each case is different but we can pray (inaudible), we can pray and ask for help and sometimes if it works that prayer that releases it may be the one that is necessary, if it doesn’t work then we have to look for something else. So keep the prayer in mind of “you and your Father are one.” If you have this prayer in mind, a release but better than that is to not ask for the release of the problem, ask for the knowledge or the understanding what caused the problem. Once you get that understanding or a dream, ask for a dream, it’s possible for a dream to show up in a dream. If you can ask for that then it will give you an insight to where the problem really is then when you have the insight to the problem then that problem would go away completely and you would not be bothered with it. So if I was going to have this, I would ask for a dream to show me what caused it, where it came from and from the dream I may get an insight then I can correct it (inaudible). Yes? Audience: Is it ethical to take on someone yes responsibility when they’re not capable and if so if it is ethical, is that taking on someone’s karma? Adano: When a child bangs its knee and you’re an adult, would it be unethical to take its knee and clean it up? Audience: No but I was thinking of an older person that could ask but does not ask because they’re not capable? Is it alright in that case to help the healing when you’re not asked? Adano: I think we’re going to be too over concerned and find ourselves out on a limb trying to be a hundred percent “Mary Nightingale.” All right, what’s her name? “Florence Nightingale?” (Laughter). But that doesn’t say Florence Nightingale did not have concern for her fellow Man, she did and she did do something. We do have a right yes but remember in the right when we’re involving with healing and with individuals, we’re still going to be liable to some extent. Now if you accept, remember you have to accept the fact that if you take on the condition of getting involved with that person if they don’t ask, you must be prepared that they may be hostile to you when you heal them or help them or they may love you for it, you’ve got to be prepared for both so that you can say to yourself “I did this for this person, look what they did back to me” or look what they’re doing, you should not be in that particular frame of mind after it’s happened. You have to take on that responsibility and say this is what you brought into and this is what it is so you have to love them in spite of themselves. Audience: So that if someone is sick and is not capable of helping themselves, you can step in if they don’t ask you? Adano: Yes you can step in. Many people were drowning one time and a man plunged in to help them to save them and you know what happened? He drowned with them too but we don’t have to do that all the time because some of us are not going to be thankful. We have to take that into consideration that whenever we commit ourselves with another person when we not asked, we cannot expect them to love us if they don’t want even though they’ve been helped and gained their health back so even Jesus knew that so we got to be prepared for this. We have a right to jump in and help the individual but we also must be prepared for the… what you call the ingratitude of it. You know the statement say the hand by the pot or something like that “the pot by the hand” or “wash the pot” or something I don’t know how it is. Audience: “Bite the hand that feeds you.” Adano: “Bite the hand that feeds it?” All right, we have many people like that so do not feel that when you do something for someone and they are ungrateful… Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Right. In the case of what you say “national emergency,” the government don’t care a hoot about if you love them, they’re gonna go in and do what they’re supposed to do and you like it or not, you can curse them after. If you’re infested with rats and gonna create a pestilence and affect the national safety of individuals, the government is not going to say “it’s your karma,” they’re going to go in there and do something so we have to be prepared to act on that premise too. We want to do things for people and if they don’t ask, we have to be prepared for their reaction to us and if we are prepared for that then we don’t have to worry about the result, we will not be taking on the karma. If you’re not prepared for it then you will be because you will be in a state of depression, you will start to feel remorse, you’ll start saying to yourself “I wish I never got into these things,” these are remorse but if you’re prepared for all eventualities and take it and go in and do something then there is no reaction, this you must realize when you take on healing or trying to help people. Audience: Is this what you say would be psychic abuse? If you resent, if you have resentments, if you weren’t going in with a loving feeling (inaudible). Adano: Yes. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: We should always pray to be healed but we should pray for something greater than the healing, we should pray to know the cause of the malady or the problem, we should pray to know what we have done so that we can resolve it. If we pray to know what we have done in order to resolve it, we don’t have it but to merely pray to get rid of the illness to go back and do it all over again, what good is he praying? So sometimes God holds back the healing because He knows darn well you are gonna go back and do it all over again. Audience: You think it’s maybe old age? Adano: You know not too long ago I met him man, he’s 156 years young. He’s a living man. (Applause).
1972 May 7 - Part 2 Devotion Key To Realization
Adano72_05_07_2DevotionKeyToRealizationQ1RR - Thank you Mr. Straw. Before we start, let us calibrate our minds. Thank you. Tonight we’re discussing one of the most important aspect of the spiritual life. I think it’s the most important because it’s the basis of realization and that is devotion. Many techniques can be taught about realization and long hours can be spent in trying to acquire it but there is no technique for devotion, devotion is simply love. Master Jesus’ whole mission was one of love, it is the mission of devotion. We cannot really enter a state of complete oneness with life until we understand love not merely as something we give and expect from others but as a whole integral process of becoming love itself. It is a way in which we are transformed by some form of dedication, commitment, and action, these three things are part of love: dedication commitment, action. Jesus said to His disciples “Love ye one another,” that is a commitment. A dedication, “When two or three are gathered in My Name, there am I in their midst.” An action, “Go ye unto the nations, spread the word,” live it, this is devotion, this is realization, this is the living vitality of the spirit. Two or three getting together amplifies the spirit, loving one another is touching each other immediately, the fear of another person kills love, kills realization, kills devotion. If we are not afraid to touch, we will never cease to realize ourselves but once we are afraid to touch, realization will die out in us. If we are afraid to get together to face each other in a room, two or three in a common issue, realization will die out, the common bond is to face one another. Going among the nations trying to be in union with them, this is the action, this is the realization on a total existence, life with all beings wherever they are you are part of it you are thrilling, vibrating, becoming one, no technique is needed for this, devotion is simply living. I cannot emphasize it too much because I know it may sound like a divine madness but I’d rather be on this side of divine madness than no madness at all, it is the only madness I know that has value, devotion. We often want some personal aspect of God to tell ourselves we have to be devoted but if we don’t have some personal aspect to relate to we would not know what to generate in our devotion. If I don’t see God in some physical aspect, I would not know the basic qualities of my human body I cannot experience love on an intimate basis. The Master jesus was a human being, it required a human form to generate intimacy. Years ago when I saw His figure I hated it because I did not understand what intimacy meant, I grew up trying to be a Catholic priest and found myself straying way away from the reality of what it meant. I saw brothers and sisters kneeling and praying before statues and I said in my mind “bunch of idol worshippers.” I began to study Oriental teachings thinking I was wiser than them, ended up they are the biggest idol worshipers. I come back today and I find myself I’m a super idol worshiper, I carry him around with me. (Laughter). Truly how can we ever really experience love if we don’t have intimacy. A man loves his wife because that’s intimate to him, a woman loves her husband because that’s intimate to her. Man and God must come on an intimate basis because devotion is centered in that, “When two or three are gathered in my name” again that is the centering point, “Love ye one another,” intimacy, “Go unto the nations,” intimacy. Can we escape devotion, do we need techniques to be exclusive or isolated from others? No we can’t, it’s not possible, I cannot tell you how I can escape being involved with you, I may tell you you can escape me because you can go anywhere you want to go but out of sight is not out of mind, you are with me. So devotion is my life, it is the key of realization and realization is to make real, to make tangible, to make active. If nothing is real or active to you, you don’t have anything, it’s wishing, it’s wanting, craving, not really getting down to the reality of experience. Devotion must give you experience on a basis in which you must be part of everything that is going on not isolating yourself, not shutting out, not denying, it is being more amenable, more applicable, more involved because you want to see this reality. The disciples of Jesus and all the disciples of great Teachers found this out to be the only safe platform for a spiritual life. I use the word safe, it’s when something is safe there’s a sense of insurance locked up in it. You know we buy an automobile but we are not too safe until we insure it. Equally true we take out life into this physical mechanism but we don’t feel too safe in it until some assurance or insurance or relationship to God in some form. The Hindus want their Krishna, the Christians want Jesus, the Buddhists want their Buddha, Man wants God in the form of Man, this is the real assurance. We are praying for another coming of Christ, are we praying for electrical form, an ideational form, or are we praying for another human form? An animal wouldn’t satisfy us, a tree won’t, a plant won’t, a mineral wouldn’t. Human form and why human form? It is the challenge, the greatest challenge that you can look at human form and say truly this is divinity, this is a possibility that we in human form can relate by intimacy, by bond of common touch. Mary want the common touch at the feet of her Master, many disciples want the common touch of their Masters or their teachers, the common touch is devotion, it’s the opening up of the heart so great that there is no boundary lines no more, everything fade in this oneness. You and I reach out in many ways, present in the body, present in the mind, present in the spirit, by letters by telephone we reach out, we communicate, we are identified. Devotion is that key, devotion is that bond. 0:10 Yet devotion must go deeper than just that, it must go to the bonds of silence, the intimacy of silence with yourself because God is not only personal, He’s impersonal and the impersonalness of God is the bond of silence, the dedication to silence, a research into the silence of your nature. This research into your own nature makes it possible now to reach out beyond the boundary lines of human contact into the superhuman contact. This superhuman contact requires self-chosen seclusion that is a price we have to pay for devotion, moments of withdrawal from our fellow men in order to gain inner strength. This type of devotion may seem erratic at times, it may seem detrimental to family life, detrimental to social life, detrimental even to national life but yet it is highly important that all men look inside for this intimacy of the Divine. No one can give it to you, you can only give it to yourself so more and more as Man reaches out for the intimacy of God within himself, he will seek the inner solitude as a means to raise this devotion. Getting together on global scale or national scale or group of friends, this again is that intimacy of silence. In some countries even this countries there used to be days of silence or moments of silence. I remember when I was a boy on the day when 11th of November came around they said it was a moment of silence and the whole country got silent for a few minutes and it always puzzled me while listening to that intense silence it would seem like all the minds of the people were clicking away like the keys of a typewriter. No one was talking yet I seem to sense their minds clicking away like a typewriter in the back of my mind and I often wondered what it meant, what was it, what type of communication was going on. Years after I realized there was a deep inner communication, a deep inner bond going on, a bond of remembrance with those who have passed on. If we can extend this research now into daily life and reach into it, we can bring about greater realization and the greater bond of the spirit. Devotion is not an outward motion only, it’s an inward motion, it’s an inward motion that requires some degree of time to be aware of yourself and we find this is possible in the churches, the churches were built around us to give us that time for devotion. We come into the church, we get into the atmosphere, we’re reminded of its importance, its purpose, and we are suddenly pulled in by association but we don’t extend this boundary line of association, we don’t increase the intensity of the silence within ourselves, we don’t bring it to fruition with a direct experience with beings who exist in this silence, who exist in the very actual structure of creation. You may call them Saints, Angels, or Divine Beings, they are there, they are around us. When we are aware of them and we make the attempt through devotion to identify or connect with them then we too have a greater realization and a part we play in our existence. If we don’t understand that and if we don’t have the opportunity in the church to practice it then we have to apply it on our own initiative, we must apply our own initiative to get it that’s why Jesus emphasized the fact “when two or three are gathered in My name.” Now we can contact Jesus, He did not say it was impossible, He said it was possible if you get together and lock in on an intimacy basis internally within yourself and bring about this experience for your own self. In the Eastern country the Science of the Soul has laid this out as a way in which we can make this contact. They did not even generate any technique for devotion, they started out by simply saying “find yourself a spot, close your eyes, and take your ideal with you within.” Now Buddhists will see Buddha, Christians will see Christ, Hindus will see Krishna, Mohammedans will seen Mohammad, all the religions see their great patron Saint, even Saint Patrick. So take your ideal within you and look in, this is the bond of intimacy from within. The Saint has lived His life by trying out many techniques finally to He became techniqueless by becoming devotion then members of the human race remember Him and take Him to heart so the Saint lives on in the minds of Men. Devotion can continue within us if we take the ideal that is great/important to us and cause it to come alive for the first time inside. Taking that ideal and bringing it alive and nourishing it every day is reality, is realization. You are in doubt that this can do something for you, don’t doubt it, that ideal, that particular form will follow you all the way to all the levels of consciousness, it will pull you up to any level that you are capable of going and that ideal again will make you see yourself within that ideal and finally the ideal will be you. Your own internal experience of devotion comes from a conquest of the mind by the spirit of Love, you will conquer the mind through the spirit of Love and by facing the ideal moment to moment within yourself in consciousness and then you will realize the reality of an inner communion with a spirit. There is no greater conquest of the mind by love, I have tried many techniques and I’ll tell you the honest truth, the easiest technique which is not a technique is simply love. To generate this devotional love I found sound/music to be the key because I am sound, I am a crystallized form of sound. True chanting, the devotional nature is raised up, it brings us into an inner bond with ourselves, why? It’s easy for you to be Caruso in the bathtub or take off on a Pagliacci or something and let go of all the inhibitions within yourself but the moment you let go of something, you’re entering a state of realization of something else so you see devotion has no technique, it simply allows you to become the ideal. 0:20 You can become the ideal, the Master by simple love to Him within yourself. I’ve heard many chants in my studies and there is one chant which I’m very fond of that generates the greatest devotion to the master. If you would like to join me we can go into it. (Chanting with group). “Om Christ, Om Christ, Om Christ, Om.” (Repeated many times). “Come Christ, come Christ, come Christ, come.” (Repeated many times). “Om Christ, Om Christ, Om Christ, Om.” (Repeated many times). “Come Christ, come Christ, come Christ, come.” (Repeated many times). 0:27 Devotion is intimacy and feeling is intimacy and feeling the presence of the Christ surrounding you in a blue light and feeling that presence permeating you, you love spreads out through all the pores into the room, into the walls of this building, into the very city to every home in this community. (Short meditation). You are feeling more than any time you can feel and that is Now. At this very moment you are feeling the most, you’re feeling the oneness of the Spirit. The calmness of the mind is the love and the devotion that is becoming real in a tangible way keeping the body very calm, very relaxed, very serene. All inner hostilities are flowed out and the sense of oneness, the sense of the presence of the Christ permeates us all and that permeation of peace, that precipitation of the peace will flow out through our eyes as we open them gradually. How long you hold onto that precipitation, this is the measurement of your realization. The great Sage Sri Yukteswar said “Realization or spiritual advancement is measured by the depth of your peace in the waking state after meditation or after a devotion chant.” Any time you can come out and maintain that peace, maintain that inner composure in the waking state, you have raised the stature, you have enlarged the boundary line of your realization. One may not see anything strange or new about the realization, rest assured that this sudden electrical tingling sensation that is passing through your body has a magnetic quality to directly affect the environment and if you maintain the inner composure while handing your business affairs, you will see some strange miracles occurring in your life. 0:30 The things you thought not possible suddenly falling into place, life seems to fit and your seem to fit into your body for the first time. You know many of us are alien to our bodies but devotion is that experience that allows us to fit into our bodies for the first time, It’s a sense of oneness. Going deeper into devotion depends upon repetition. The more we are devoted, the more we want to repeat the process, the more we want to feel the love. Now this may seem monotonous that you have to keep repeating it, but if you if ask yourself when a person loves someone, doesn’t he not or she see that individual in their mind night and day? Don’t they keep thinking about that person in their minds night and day? The impression is so strong and if the impression is so strong, it is fed by repetition, devotion is that same principle. When we see the Christ ideal or the Buddha ideal or the Krishna ideal or the Mohammed ideal, whatever the ideal is within the mind and we feed it or nurture it by repetition, it becomes ourselves. At a certain level of your devotion when you’re within yourself in meditation and you have to cross certain mental boundary lines or levels of consciousness, it is that ideal that’s within you that will allow you to go past those boundary lines. The Masters or the ideals are the way sure, They go ahead of you, They travel inward ahead of you in consciousness, it is Their vibratory rate, Their devotional control that helps you to overcome your inner hostilities, your inattentions, your inner anxieties. By relating to one of Them or any amount of Them or all of Them, you can go through your inner consciousness without being torn down by any of these mental conditions or hostilities. Many of us may not want to associate with an ideal in devotion and feel that “I am a human being, I am the ideal, how do I relate now?” All right such a type of devotion would indicate that you have to look at this body as a temple and this temple has certain centers and these centers either act negatively or positively in terms of attitude. The ideal attitude, how many of us know what it is? But the wrong attitudes a great many of us are familiar with because we’ve had too many conflicts due to the wrong attitudes. If we don’t know what the ideal attitude is inside in the centers, how can we cause them to come forward to transform us? How can we make this a reality, how would devotion suddenly release it? We don’t know, we will be constantly assuming that we have the right attitude, we are constantly assuming that we have the right ideal from inside. We have to relate to someone, some physical form that has applied the right ideal to give us some sense of calibration, some sense of direction. For Christians we need Jesus, for Buddhist need Buddha or Krishna or any one of the great Teachers, each man in his own ethnic background must have some ideal to relate to. So it is not wrong to start out with the ideal and then try to go through the centers feeling their release within you. The centers are there within you and we are going to have to pass through those centers in our deepest devotions. Without an ideal to guide us, passing through that experience can be called the Night of the Soul, it’s a term used by a great Saint who had every type of nightmare, mental anguish, turmoil trying to go through by himself in the early stages of his growth. When he decided to take the ideal with him along, then the nightmares begin to diminish, the problems of the inner life begin to disappear. Years ago when I was practicing meditation I too did not want an ideal because I cannot see the possibility of wanting to relate to an idol or form but all my researches have brought me back to my highest experience in devotion to an ideal because the human mind does not know what the true ideal is unless the human mind can relate to some form or being who lives the ideal. Therefore I accept every Saint, Sage, God-realized man to be an ideal because each one either in the body or out of the body or yet to be born are all living the simple principle of devotion. Last year I met a Swami from India, His name was Muktananda. He did not say much in our presence but whatever He said was an indication of a tremendous lesson in devotion. He said “grace of Guru,” those three words made all the difference, to some people it made nothing at all, no impression. When I read His autobiography not too long ago published, when He started out to meditate, He only met His teacher once and after many years of research in all the levels of the chakras, all the way up in the inner consciousness, the form that was most rewarding to Him in His moments of spiritual nightmares, anguish, the only form that was really comforting to Him was the teacher and when He went to the highest point possible to really break the bubble of illusion who did He see greeting Him? The form of His teacher. This is true, you take the ideal be it Jesus or any one of the great Teachers and go all the way in relating, loving, They will meet you all the way to the highest point when you break the illusion and you will see that that ideal is there and the lesson you will learn from the ideal is “God and the Ideal are one.” 0:40 When Jesus said, “I and my Father are one” He spoke the highest realization founded on devotion. When you see yourself within the Divinity and see yourself as the Divinity now that is the ideal form, you have come to that realization based upon your devotion. The form of a great Sage or Saint helps you to raise your devotion to be like the Saint then eventually you and this Creative Principle must become one, you and the Father must become one, the devotion must culminate in this final realization that you and the Father are one. Jesus told His disciples, “Call no man Master save the Lord that is within thee and Therefore I call you no longer my disciples but my friends.” He too would not want you at the highest point of realization to accept His physical form as a limitation upon yourself but He would feel honored if you used His image as a guideline towards your own realization founded on the devotion within yourself. I heard one time a great doctor, his name was Doctor Cooley, the second best they may call him the best today in heart surgery, he was a student of another doctor who was the leading specialist in Texas and he made this statement, he said, “If you want to be the best imitate the next best and when you have imitated it long enough, try to originate.” What is he saying? He is saying identically the same thing, start out with the ideal, work to the point when you and the principle become one, you are projecting for yourself. Jesus said the same thing, “As many as received Him” as many would accept the Ideal, “to them gave He the devotion” or the power to stick with it. You have to stick with it inside and each one of us will become identified in the Creative Principle, Sons of God. Each one of you would now see yourself identified in God and that is the realization, the realization that is based on devotion and accepting some ideal as a guideline, it simplifies for many people who are caught up in the conflict of what to do to realize themselves. When we remove the conflicts that impede us in realizing our cells (selves?) and take an ideal simply on the foundation of love, we will then realize our own cells (selves?) immersed in that truth. There was a Catholic Saint by the name of Catherine, she started out her meditations and her devotions not wanting to see anything but the true form of God, at first I said, “Here I have found someone like me.” I read and I read and I read and then when she has seen all these different forms and she kept pushing them away more and more till she reached what is called the “nightmare of the Soul” or the “dark night of the Soul.” One day just about dawn, she had the experience of seeing Catherine herself in the Light. She could not understand why she was looking at her own self, she thought she had an out of body experience and this Consciousness said and related to her, “You and I are one.” “No, no, no, no, this is too much” and she tried to shut it out but as every time she shut it out, the form was there. Finally she broke down in the devotion and accepted that when the Lord wants you to see the truth about yourself, there is nothing you can do but accept. Yogananda had the same type of experience, he searched by looking into the sky everywhere for the ideal form, he loved Jesus, he loved Buddha, and all of them and He kept searching for the form, maintaining His devotion. Finally when the true experience came and the Light broke open upon Him this is what He heard within the Light, “Hello playmate, you and I are one.” There was no more fear, the realization brought to Him now out of the devotion, the reality about Himself. Jesus accepted it, He came back, He told Man that this is what Man has to face. “I and the Father are one. You see me, you see the Father.” Look at yourself and when you get the realization based upon the devotion, you will notice beyond all doubt and that you are free. Now don’t judge yourself after the realization come that you may be incompetent of performing miracles, that is not what is intended. The true realization of yourself based upon devotion is peace, peace that passes all understanding, the magnitude of this peace you couldn’t begin to comprehend it even if you try, there is no way to relate this peace. In the most difficult moments of your life when everything is crashing around you, this peace seems to sustain you. Even if you have the power to stop the ocean, stop a mad elephant in its track, or stop a train in its track, still this peace would supersede it and you would have to use the word, “Peace, be still.” The waves were crashing in on the little ship that the disciples were living in or fishing and when they were in a state of panic, they called upon their Ideal. Why? Because they were afraid and even when the Master awoke and looked, what did He say? “Peace, be still.” The power of realization when fully precipitated into the body is peace this is true realization based on devotion. Thank you. (Applause then gap in tape). I said before, the ideal of all beliefs all bring you to the same experience, oneness with the Spirit but that is where our journey begins, it does not end there, devotion begins now to have value when you are one with the Spirit. Many of us think that after our ideal has brought us to oneness with the Spirit, the job is over. No, the job is not over, the job has now begun for Man. Man has to involve himself with his fellow Man on a global nature, on a universal nature, he has to work with this oneness of the Spirit. It is only by taking up the greater commitment, the greater challenge of life that the oneness of Spirit has meaning. If when Jesus or Buddha and all these men found the oneness of the Spirit in themselves and remained in the mountain caves, isolated themselves from society, would you know of them? Would you ever hear of them? Not possible. It is only because they took upon themselves to get involved on a global nature, a universal nature, that their impact had value. 0:50 Each one of us is moving towards that identification of the Spirit and when that occurs in all of us then each one of us from that time must get involved. The Spirit will have to move you forward to be involved with others, this is the challenge and this is the greater realization, the involvement with Mankind as a whole. We don’t know how this involvement will affect society in years to come but since we are accepting that this is going be the Aquarian Age, an age of unfoldment, an age of enlightenment, it is the age of participation. As we become identified with the Spirit, we are going to be forced to demonstrate the Spirit by being human beings for the first time and respecting another human being and within your own consciousness you can say of all the marvels that you have seen, there is nothing to compare with a human being because the true human being is one with the Spirit, he is devoid of all dross, all negativeness, all impurities. I remember reading one time Abraham Lincoln saying, “I would like at least to see one human being” and when looking out over the White House, a man was passing just about that time along the walkway. No one knew who he was but it later turned out at that time when Lincoln said it, the man was Walt Whitman walking past the White House. Those who have read The Leaves of Grass know that Mr. Whitman was in a full state of Cosmic Consciousness. He lived and died in this country a marvelous human being and he said, “I go on and I hope that the great Saints and Sages will look down upon me and think if I am worthy to be among Them.” He also realized what it is to be one with the Spirit, he involved himself in his writing. Wherever you involve yourself after you identify with the Spirit, this would your great contribution to the world around you no matter what it is. If there are any questions you want to ask, I’d be glad to answer them now. Yes? Audience: I want to ask about the picture. Adano: Alright in 1963 there was in Yucatan a church and the people there were praying on a Good Friday and they reasoned like everyone else if Thomas can see the body of Jesus and if the body of Jesus is genuine, why can they not see it themselves since He didn’t go anyplace but remain here in the universal creation? And the priest was very factual too since he was dealing with very factual people he said, “If you have the devotion, He will come.” So they decided to whump up a good devotion that Sunday or that Good Friday, and they worked at it, they worked at it and to their amazement there was a light right in the middle of the church and there stood the Master fully from head to toe and there was a German man, a baron I understood, he and his son was in the church at the time and the son had a camera and he snapped the picture. Well the original picture is about this size, I was fortunate to get the enlargement through a friend that knew them all the way so I have a copy of it but this is a fulfillment again of a very greedy wish. You see years ago I did not want to keep a picture of the Master because it was painted by other human beings, I didn’t want to carry a painting let alone be attached to it. The only painting that did some stirrings in my heart was the head of Hofmann but I never latched on to one. I always wanted to know if it’s possible to have a photograph and I seen even photographs where the apparent face of Jesus was on the snow and some Chinese newspaper fellow during the war had photographed it, this face appearing in the snow. Even some artists, an aviator in fact, who was flying in the air and saw this light and photographed it and it turned out to be the face of Jesus, even that I didn’t consider worth to carry but when this came my way I says, “Now you keep your big mouth shut.” So I have to live with it. Yes? Audience: You spoke of inner peace, is it possible to have the inner peace and it would leave? Adano: And leave? No, no, you can have miracle and the powers to perform it and that can leave you if you have a blow on the head but the inner peace is rooted in the atomic structure of your nature, right into the cells itself. Audience: (inaudible). Adano: Well the first evidence of the inner peace is a gradual shedding of the grossness of the physical body, the body becomes soft and smooth, it becomes like velvety feeling, you begin to notice this transformation occurring in the cells and you begin to notice that the hostility of the mind is going out. It’s an inner peace that is brought about within the cellular structure so that when you have it completely you can be 100 years of age and have a physical body under medical examination equivalent to a baby, we’re talking of that kind of peace. Not too long ago I was fortunate to meet a man give and take a few years, they say he’s 150 but I say 100 and he was examined by an American doctor and the doctor is amazed that this man’s body function, skin, texture, and everything is like a little child and he does radiate this peace so we’re talking of an inner peace brought about by a biological transformation. If it’s psychological, it’ll go away. Yes? Audience: Swami you mentioned the feeling of electrical vibrations entering into the body, can you explain what this is? Adano: God is life and life is energy. Now how would you experience energy, what would be the sensation? You’re familiar with energy in the form of electricity, right? Now how would you know it’s really electricity? The best test is to put your finger in the socket, what would it feel like, huh (laughter from audience), a tingling shock? Well those who have had any type of spiritual healing will tell you their whole body quivers, sometimes they’re knocked out cold with it so we don’t want to lose our composure in a group meeting or go off into some frenzy or hysteria. So the mere fact that you can feel this electrical impulse which is life pulsating and passing through is an indication to you that you’re on the wavelength of that Divine Current. Now it’s a matter of identifying and living with it consciously then as you live with it consciously, your whole body will be vibrating with it all the time. Now when the Holy Spirit descended upon the twelve disciples, or the eleven at the time, they also felt this wave of current in their bodies and I’ve seen Pentecostal conversion, it’s a wave that comes right through. 1:00 I met a woman one time, she was a nurse and she was baptized by the Holy Spirit through Pentecostal and she went on to do more studies in spiritual life until she was ready for initiation and the night we were initiating her when I touched her she almost went into this state again but because of her pride and the people in the room, she held on and refused to go into the state. When she was all over she said to me, “You know I could’ve gone back again talking in tongues because it was the same feeling but I didn’t want to make myself look like a fool in front of everybody so I held on and started to bite my teeth, squirm in my shoes so that I wouldn’t have the sensation and then it stopped.” I said, “Oh you foolish woman, when the Lord wants to give you His joy, why you block it?” It was only a confirmation of having it here or having it on the Pentecostal experience, the fact that Spirit is Spirit. I said, “You might have blocked out a marvelous experience or a communication or some message for many people who might have needed that message simply because of your pride and being afraid to go through the experience.” So I says, “Next time when you’re having some gift from God, don’t block it.” But she describes it just as an electrical wave. Yes? Audience: Earlier today you spoke about the saliva in the mouth creating (inaudible), you said you were going to expand upon it? Adano: The saliva in the mouth, if you have a blow on that spot, there’s a shock there and if you take the tongue and pass it over that spot or the saliva, it will start to alleviate and the electrical polarity will start a release. Gradually there is some form of electrolytic action occurring in that spot. Now you notice little children when they bang their knees, mother comes over and rubs it and then (Adano makes a sound), does something like that and baby is all right. All right, don’t you see animals doing the same thing too, they lick their wound in some form? The saliva is medicinal in some form and it does neutralize, let’s see how the saliva is very potent in a realized person. There was a blind man that was brought to Jesus and He spit on the ground. Now you imagine you standing there and looking at Him and let’s say you’re a Greek Centurion or a Roman Centurion and all the rest are all native Hebrew people and being a man of authority looking at this exhibition of saliva being spit on the ground, take His finger and (inaudible) with it and make a putty and stick it on a man’s eye and then the guy eyes open up. You’d say to yourself, “How crude, how uncouth, dirtiness,” but heal. I heard an interesting statement made to a young man by a certain teacher. He went to this man and asked for a healing, you know what the man told him to get? He says, “You get yourself some pigeons and get the hot blood and squirt it in your back and you’ll be well.” Now this is a modern city where this information was given to the man but the man didn’t attempt it yet, you see? Now imagine if someone went to Mr. Cayce when he was having his readings and then he was told by him, “Well I’ll tell you what, get your mother to spit in the ground and massage your back.” (Adano laughing). You may say, “What’s wrong with Mr. Cayce?” But certain things do require the most unorthodox ways of getting it done. All right in the case of Sri Yukteswar and His teacher, Sri Yukteswar went to his teacher and told his teacher that “a brother disciple is dying, we need your help.” So the teacher looked at him and says, “He will be well, he will be well, the doctors are doing their job, he will be well.” So he went back and when he went back the man was almost dead and the doctor says, “There is nothing we can do for him, your friend will be dead in a few minutes.” So the man died and Sri Yukteswar was torn up and he went to see his teacher and he blurted out his information, he says, “See I came to you and I asked for help and now the man is dead. What good is it?” So the teacher says, “I didn’t know you wanted something from me specifically. Alright, I told you he would be well but I didn’t understand you. I’ll tell you what you do, you take that castor oil over there and go put seven drops in his mouth, he’ll come back alive.” So Sri Yukteswar look at castor oil and you know according to Cayce you can put it in your tummy and put some heat packs. Well here is somebody telling him to go put seven drops in the dead man’s mouth, he takes the seven drops and puts it in the dead man’s mouth, the man gets up and he goes and sees Sri Yukteswar and he goes and sees the teacher, Sri Yukteswar. Well Sri Yukteswar is puzzled, He says, “How come seven drops of castor oil did that?” So the teacher said, “In the future now anytime you see a dead man just put seven drops of castor oil in his mouth.” As if seven drops of castor oil would immediately heal him. When certain unusual techniques are given by people for certain conditions, it is simply to establish a link but magnetically speaking and electrically speaking, the saliva can release tension and at the same time can heal a wound, I’ve seen it done and so I know it does heal the wound. Yes? Audience: Is that why your mouth feels electrified at times, your saliva? Adano: Well in certain states of meditation, in certain states of meditation your mouth does feel like an electrical charge inside and the saliva feels very thick and if you keep on meditating then the saliva becomes now very sweet. Yes, it becomes sweet after a long period of meditation and this sweetness is exactly like the nectar from a flower. Now you know in the ancient days they said the Greeks lived on nectar or ambrosia, the gods, the Greek gods were living on it. Now let’s look at it in terms of a man who has attained realization by method of love, devotion, or meditation. This nectar will flow down, it’s within the brain, it comes down into the mouth and you can experience it. Now they say when you die you will go to the land of where? Milk and honey, pretty sticky, but this is what they say in your scriptures, you want to die to go to the land of milk and honey but we have to look at that symbology very clearly in terms of healing. When we die to the senses within this mechanism our consciousness is drawn up to the pineal gland and in the pineal gland there is a viscous substance just like honey, the color of honey, and the taste of honey that is secreted by the gland and in the medulla there is a white liquid the color of milk, the texture of milk, these two combine now and flow down. When they flow down the body is nourished. 1:00 Those Yogis or Saints who have practiced the Holy Breath long enough to trigger it off can then live without eating, they may eat or they may not eat or they may just continue their lives with just drinking a little water or liquid to stay in the body to show you that they’re here and they exist. Now Jesus said, “I have meat that you know not of.” He also knew how to tap this energy down and bring it down and it’s all locked up in the saliva too. Now we know in the saliva there are certain properties, enzymes in them that breaks down substances yet we don’t know enough of the enzymes what they will do, we only know of what appears to be happening when food goes in. If there is no food in the system, the enzymes have a different work to do, instead of breaking down food for energy now, they begin to release energy but then we will need experiment to verify that, the enzymes will begin to feed you now, they will start emitting a different chemical into the body to feed you. Whatever they will do on a physical level, they can do on an extrasensory level, it’s all locked up in there. The same body odor that is (gap in tape)… reverse action of devotion. Now if you are in a state of anger or tension, they say the body odor is very foul, right? You know those advertisement, the only reason you need Ban is because you got tension, and that’s a body odor deodorant you know? Alright, it’s because you have tension, no tension how would the body odor be? It should be sweet, clean. If there is no impurities in this mechanism as a human being, the glandular system will secrete the opposite just as much as your endocrine system will secrete certain chemicals to generate hostility, they can now secrete chemicals to generate opposite of hostility, the saliva is the same. If you know that this person is injured and you can concentrate and release the saliva, you can do something with it, it has a certain magnetic charge that will work. Yes? Audience: Swami you mentioned to meditation upon a form of God that you hold dear, you mentioned the Christians have Christ, the Hindus have Krishna, etc. What form of God should a person of the Jewish faith meditate upon which holds God as formless? Adano: If you go back to the Talmud it tells you, “No man has seen God but His…” What? Light. Man has seen the Light of God. Now in the early days when they were carrying the Ark and around the Ark they saw a light like a cloud surrounding the Ark and that was to tell the people that God was present. Now the Hindus also believed just like the Hebrew people, some of them don’t want any form of God but they all admit whoever they are, the formless God is Light. Now let’s look at the man Jesus, He tried to remove the glorification of His body by saying, “When thine eyes are single, your whole body is full of light.” Meditation is to focus the eyes or to steady the mind in order to see light. Einstein comes along and says, “This is light! Atomic energy, matter.” Energy is equal to this mass times the velocity of light squared, light, atomic light so when you close your eyes, light is there. Now Jesus is giving us the indication of what is happening inside, if you don’t want the form and when you see your Higher Self, you will see light, this form is there too, the light is there and the Light is shining in the Darkness that means God’s Light, which is His true nature, is already shining within you, the darkness of the brain. “And the darkness comprehends it not,” the five senses does not understand why there should be light in the brain but if you doubt in your mind that there’s any light in your brain, it’s very easy to convince yourself by giving you a karate chop on the nostril and you see the light pretty fast. (Laughter from audience). So that is the evidence on a physical level that light is there, “But let your light so shine before men that they may see the good works now and glorify the Father which is in thee.” The Father in thee is the light, the total structure of this mechanism. On a conscious level when you close your eyes you see some vague movement of a light or a color in there, not conscious of what it represent you pay no attention to it, when the mind is steady enough to look at it objectively without fear, then you and the light become one. Now if you and the light become one, what would be obvious picture you would see in the end? You will see yourself, you are made in the image of that light and if you look at your image, your true self is for the first time looking at yourself then you can say without doubt, “I and my Father are one,” that is the ideal image in the end. Now the Hebrew and many Hindus start off worshipping God as Light, finally coming to the full realization and shouting to the top of their head, “I and my Father are one.” Eventually Moses had to experience that, Moses said he saw a burning bush, What is a burning bush? It’s a light, this is the only symbology they could relate, he closed his eyes and saw this light burning from here in the Arjuna center or the third eye center and as he saw the light inside he constantly meditated upon it. As he meditated upon that, which you call Mount Sinai, it’s the mountain here, as he looked inside within his own consciousness and the light became brighter and brighter then he said “Who are thee Lord? What is Your name?” And the voice came back from his own inner being saying, “I am that I am.” You and I are the one in other words, I am you and you are me, you are light and I am light, we are all light, If you are seeing this you are seeing the light. Now it’s difficult for Moses to go down and tell the people in captivity that the God name is “I AM,” they would not accept that because they did not have the inner experience that their own God self was functioning in them, they had to have some relationship, some thing to relate to. So Moses had to come down another level, he had to meet the people at a level that they could communicate with so he said Yehovah, the Lord. Yet it shows that even they who lived so long in captivity could not accept Yehovah / Lord even when they were lead out of the captivity they had to latch on some other form to build up devotion. While Moses was up in the mountain trying to bring down more consciousness, the people then chose a form that was obvious they melted down all the gold and made themselves a golden calf, a form to relate to because they so ingrained in their captivity to some form. Finally, when it was all smashed up and the forms were all destroyed, they had to face themselves so the very first commandment is, “Thou shall have no other gods or graven image before Me.” Me who? Me Light, the Cosmic Principle, the Creative Intelligence so the final résumé is that when you look inside yourself as a human being devoid of every religious heritage since some of us don’t want to be affiliated with religious heritages anymore, we want to look at ourselves as Human Beings (Adano emphasizes these words) then we have to look at ourselves in the atomic nature now for the first time, we have to accept our atomic structure, if we accept it then we will see ourselves as pure light. 1:20 Now in terms of intimacy in that pure light, you will still have to look at a human being which is yourself, see? God, though He is impersonal and though He is permeating you and you a human being will hanker or yearn for intimacy, you see? So it is nothing wrong to accept the form of human being, it is not degrading you, in fact it is extending your comprehension of yourself to see that God is recognizable in human form as a ideal way to relate, it’s unimportant if one chooses Jesus, Mohammed, or Buddha, or anyone, the important thing is all these eventually say, “I and my Father are one.” When it happened to Kabir, Kabir was a Saint who lived many years ago and He had studied all the various religions in the world at the time, he embraced them all. Finally when the final devotion came for Him to practice devotion, one day He woke up out of His meditation and shouted, “I am He! I am He!” And he ran through the marketplace shouting, “I am He!” And they all thought He was crazy then one priest says, “Yes, me too.” (Laughter from audience). And this is true, the final realization is the “I am He.” We’re understanding it deeper everyday that realization of God is looking at your higher self and don’t be afraid of it. Yes? Audience: (inaudible)… interesting point that I’ve never heard before about God the creative light having a form like ours. He said that beyond light (inaudible)… he couldn’t explain it either (inaudible)… call it pure Spirit and there is something beyond that even and it really threw some of us because we thought if we get involved with this light, we’ve got it made, It might take several lifetimes. Adano: I said before, remember the words are very specific, “No man has seen his God but has seen His Light.” Now I’ll tell you something else which is entirely different to what I’ve said, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word IS God and the Word was made flesh and dwelt in Man.” That’s a big difference than the light, he did not say the light is God, “No man has seen God, but His light” and I’m saying now that the Word is God. The Audible Life Current, the Shabda or the Holy Name or Cosmic Sound, the Divine Presence is God, that is heard, not seen, big difference. One has to hear God, one may not see God but see His light so the sound precedes the light but God is all music that’s why It’s beyond the light. What is beyond the light is this cosmic sound that is responsible for the light being existing. In the highest state of awareness, Anaam Loka (sp?) where Man fully sees God as himself there He is the eternal sound vibrating. In Anaam Lok it is called the state of the eternal mercy, without it there is no compassion, there is no grace and it’s in that state the unutterable Naam (sp?) or sound is made audible for Man for the first time and from that state descends light coming down like a golden rain causing creation to begin and the first expression of creation is Beingness acting on Beingness then the next level down is Beingness acting on Consciousness. The third level down is Consciousness acting on Consciousness. The fourth level down is Consciousness acting on Energy. The fifth level down is Energy acting on Energy. The sixth level down is Consciousness acting on Matter. The seventh level down is Energy acting on Matter and the final level down is where we are, Matter acting on Matter. Do you see where you are in creation? But Anaam Lok, the eternal mercy, is the pure cosmic audible sound, it is the God process, you call it the Logos or your call it the Amen, whatever name you want to call it but it’s the Audible Life Current. It’s this life, Creative Intelligence, that is audible for the first time and it’s heard, not seen. The only level you can see it is when it starts to radiate down as light therefore in the pineal gland, the sound is vibrating, at a level of experience at the point between the eyebrow it’s light, it’s shining in the darkness. Turning the senses in and looking in for the first time that is what we see, the light, but it’s not the light that gets us back to God because the light is not God, the light is the image of God, it’s the sound, the actual vibratory power that is God. Through that we are drawn back up and we have to experience it so that’s the big difference between the light and the sound. Yes? Audience: Have you had an experience (inaudible). I mean would you describe that experience? Adano: (Adano gives Darshan). Master Jesus said, “Those who have eyes to see let them see and ears to hear let them hear.” This is my answer. Yes? Audience: (Can’t be heard) Adano: If it’s interference, there is something beyond it all and you can hear it right in this room, it’s right behind. There’s a big difference between hearing and listening but you can hear it, the audible Life Current inside. Yes? Audience: You said (inaudible) but the way I understand it the Eastern religions say we should become involved in Mankind (inaudible). Adano: Eastern religion is highly involved in Mankind, in fact there was one scientist who said, “the Easterner is more materialistic than the Westerner” because the Westerner is not materialistic, he’s spiritual, he destroys everything and hope God will replace it (laughter from audience) but the Easterner is too concerned that destroying anything, he can’t afford for God to replace it, see? We pollute everything and pray to God to replace it so that’s our Western approach, our Eastern approach we dare not destroy anything, we dare not pollute anything because we don’t know if He gonna replace it so who’s more materialistic? Audience: But I’m not talking about materialism, I’m talking about involvement. Adano: Well the involvement, this is what we’re talking of the involvement, is not to destroy, it’s to get into the whole movement. The more we are involved with it, the more we get to touch the thing and handle it and get involved, this is what we’re talking. The Eastern teachers came out of their caves to get involved with Mankind, this is what they’ve done, they’ve come out of their caves and they’re involving themselves with Mankind. You know, Jesus was an Easterner you know, He wasn’t a Westerner, did you know that? He was born in the Middle East so we are kind of afraid to look at the thing about spiritual teachers. 1:30 All the great teachers of truth were Orientals, we are hoping that the next teacher of truth will be a Westerner, this is not to criticize, we hope that this will happen. Now when Ramakrishna was in the body, this was an Eastern teacher, he was the teacher of a man called Swami Vivekananda who was the first Indian Master to come to this country at the invitation of the Parliament of Religions and before he died his disciples asked him, “Sir, can you tell us where you will be born in your next incarnation?” And they said He looked over the Ganges from the rooftop of the house and for a long time then he turned around and says, “I have not yet visited the West.” So Vivekananda understood what that meant that to lay the groundwork for the Master again, or his Master, was to come to the West and the Vivekananda Society, which is the Vedanta Society, has spread a great deal in this country and in Europe, laying the groundwork that someday those students of truth may be the fortunate parent of Ramakrishna whenever He decides to come to the West or born in the West. We will have many masters born in the West of caucasian body. Yes? Audience: Is there none already born in the West of the stature of Ramakrishna? Adano: Not yet, we are are hoping. Audience: (inaudible). Adano: Life itself, life makes this rose possible, the vital power of the universe makes this rose possible yet this vital power is audible, it can be heard and it will take the shape of the human voice and communicate to us. Yogananda one time said, he was visiting with a Saint in India and while they were meditating they heard constantly the voice of God talking to the Saint, that this audible current was giving out the different levels of consciousness to Him and whenever He asked a question, this audible sound was loud in the room and at that time He was not even evolved enough to even to hear it himself but this was occurring very loud and clear around this Saint. Years after when He was able to listen to the sound within Himself and hear it, it began to occur around Him. Not too long, I visited with a disciple of his, an American, who knew that the Master Yogananda would go into the back of the garden where He lived in California and He would tell the disciple, “Don’t let no one disturb me.” Now the boy knew that there were no other beings in the back of that garden except Yogananda so he would stand up there and between the hedge and Yogananda, he would be there to prevent anyone going into the garden and he said he heard the voices of Saints talking to Yogananda and some of the voices he recognized because when Yogananda addressed them as They appeared to him and communication went on between the two of Them, human voices were going on. One time he said he heard Yogananda says, “I’m happy to greet you O Guru Nanak” and the voice says, “Yes, I’m happy to greet you now since you’ve made every effort to come to this level.” And many such conversations occurred as Saints appeared to Him and this boy was fortunate to hear it. Now he said he could actually describe these voices, they were so resonant and different in every time They spoke, so he heard. Now if he had seen, this would be different too. Now there was another teacher that came not too long from India and he was somewhere back East here and he was sitting on a rock and they saw him talking just to the empty tree, between the tree and the rock. So his student ventured to go out and ask Him, “Sir, who are you talking to?” And He replied, “I’m speaking to Kabir.” So the student says, “I don’t see him.” Well the teacher said, “Alright, you shall have the blessing” and he touched the boy on the head. He not only saw Kabir standing there but he heard Kabir held a lengthy discourse on the inner realms with the man and what was going on in the inner realms and the first time he saw Kabir, he was in doubt of hallucination, he was in doubt that he might be hypnotized by the teacher. It was until a week after someone had a picture of what Kabir looked like and it was the same man he had seen. Now Kabir spoke very thick accent in His language and those who grew up in the area of where Kabir was supposed to grow up, the boy was fortunate to go back and visit that area in India and that very area and he tried to investigate and they knew of the Saint Kabir where He lived and they told him from the language and from the people in that area, they all spoke with the same type of accent. So God is not only light, He is Sound but this is the sound that became flesh because they said the Word became flesh and dwelt in Man, this audible life current is in Man. We have to make the attempt to get it. Ok? (Applause) 1:37 (inaudible) … for attending and my generous host and his wife for having us here and all the friends. Also we’re looking forward to a few days we are here and that we’re having an initiation and if the Lord willing you may show up. Thank you.
1972 May 8 - Part 1 The Initiate Life
Adano72_05_08_1TheInitiateLifeQ1RR - (Group chanting). “It’s peace, it’s peace, it’s peace that makes the world go round. It’s peace, it’s peace, it’s peace that makes the world go round. It’s peace, peace, peace, peace, peace. It’s bliss, it’s bliss, it’s bliss that makes world go around. It’s bliss, it’s bliss, it’s bliss that makes world go around. It’s bliss, bliss, bliss, bliss, bliss. It’s friends, it’s friends, it’s friends that makes the world go around. It’s friends, it’s friends, it’s friends that makes the world go around. It’s friends, friends, friends, friends, friends. It’s God, it’s God, it’s God that makes the world go around. It’s God, it’s God, it’s God that makes the world go around. It’s God, God, God, God, God. It’s love, it’s love, it’s love that makes the around. It’s love, it’s love, it’s love that makes the around. It’s love, love, love, love, love. It’s joy, it’s joy, it’s joy that makes the world go round. It’s joy, it’s joy, it’s joy that makes the world go round. It’s joy, joy, joy, joy, joy. It’s peace, it’s peace, it’s peace that makes the world go round. It’s peace, it’s peace, it’s peace that makes the world go round. It’s peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.” “Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear (inaudible). Happy birthday to you.” “It couldn’t be a happier one, unless he told me he noticed my new hairdo.” Adano: I deserved that one. You husbands to be and all you who are husbands already make sure you notice your wife’s hairdo. (Laughter). Thank you. Audience: Did you hear about John’s heart? Audience: No I’m waiting for you to tell it. Audience: The doctors came in around four o’clock at the hospital and his heart already started pacing by itself so it is beating beautifully. Adano: Thank You Lord. Audience: Have you told them what that chant means? Adano: Well the chant is “Listen listen to my heart song” you see. “I’ll never forget you, I’ll never forsake you” but it’s not you telling God to listen to your heart song and that you wouldn’t forget Him or forsake Him, it’s God telling you to listen to His heart song and that He doesn’t forget you or forsake you. So once you’re listening to your own heartbeat, you’re listening to God talking through you so when you chant it even as a healing therapy for people with heart problems, you are putting your heart beat in synchronization with the Divine Beat and then you link in to the person who is having a heart problem, before you know it their heart will start synchronizing through the Christ consciousness. Every one of us is linked to the Christ consciousness inside but we have to recognize it so it’s easy for us to link into the God-self by chanting or by identifying and as long as you recognize that the sacred heart of Christ is in harmony already and that is the heart song that is passing to you and that you don’t forget it, then you in turn can feel out for those whose heartbeat is off and you can pull them back in by magnetic love. So let us chant “Listen, listen, listen to my heart song. Listen, listen, listen to my heart song. I will never forget thee, I will never forsake thee.” (repeated 4 times). When you center the mind on the heart, you can hear if you listen you’ll actually hear the bells tolling from within, that is the sound that is made by the heart chakra within yourself, the tolling of the bells and by feeling your consciousness of the heart and listening, God is not forsaking you or forgetting you but making you conscious of His existence by the inner ringing of the bells within yourself, if you hear the bells, you are locked into the heart song. (Short meditation). 0:10 “So do Thou my Lord, so do Thou my Lord. Thou and I never apart, Thou and I never apart. Wave of the sea, dissolve in the sea. Wave of the sea, dissolve in the sea. I am the bubble make, make me the sea. I am the bubble make, make me the sea. Make me make the sea, O make me the sea. Make me make the sea, O make me the sea. I am the bubble make, make me the sea. I am the bubble make, make me the sea.” (Chanted 2 times). Adano: Heavenly Father, Divine Mother, beloved Jesus, the Masters, Saints and Sages of all religions be Thou present at this meditation and Bardo. Our initiate friend Margaret Barker, we send her our love and all those who have any loved ones that they want to be remembered can repeat the name aloud. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Beloved Masters these names are called of all these loved ones by those who are associated with them and draw them within the circle of light and the Angelic Hosts be thou present and take them on to their highest expression, opening their consciousness to the inner light, the inner experiences of the Soul. As they pass through the first Bardo shedding all attachments to the Earth plane, all attachments to the five senses, we send them our love for their highest good. Now as they pass through the second plane of consciousness, we send them our joy, our peace relieving them of all distress, emotional anxiety, all their commitments, giving them the strength to go on to higher realizations. As they go on to the third Bardo, freeing them from the fear of the after death states, passing through the phases of first light, moving on through the Sound Current. Beloved Masters and Angelic Hosts, your grace and blessings pour down upon them and sponsor them into a higher reincarnation or level of understanding. Moving on to the fourth Bardo freeing them from all association with the air, the breath, freeing them from the repercussions of the use of the breath and the various alterations of consciousness by breath. May they remember to follow the path to the Holy Breath. Moving on to the fifth Bardo freeing them from the ether, opening up their consciousness that they may be drawn back into the homes of initiates who will tell them of the initiate life giving them a head start on the road to realization. Beloved Masters we thank You, pouring your blessings upon those Souls and taking them on through the light, not through the Sound Current, to the Divine Creative Source and then to their own respective incarnations or levels of Being and through the love of the loved ones here radiating out to them may they go on gloriously without being drawn back by anguish, remorse, attachment, and fear and we who are behind sending our love may unite in consciousness and the peace of the spirit. 0:20 (Group chanting). “Om, Om, Om, Om, Om.” (Short meditation). Adano: The Holy Spirit, Divine Comforter flowing around us now, permeating each one, the Divine Strength and the Light. Enjoy. (Long meditation). 0:41 Partially open the eyes. Completely open the eyes. Thank you. Tonight we are discussing what is the initiate life for the benefit of those who do not know what it is and what it leads to, how it leads towards initiation. The initiate life is the household of life, it’s the journey between the husband and the wife back towards realization and it involves five basic disciplines. The fifth one is not really a discipline, it’s a way of life but the first four are the actual disciplines of the initiate life. The first discipline has to do with what we eat, many of us often ask why is the food so important in the initiate life, why do we make such a big issue over it? There are many valid reasons behind it: physical, mental, and spiritual. One, we’re not trying to get out of nature, we’re trying to live in tune with nature and nature already has food set up for Man’s existence according to the structure of food and its properties. A complete diet must have protein, carbohydrate, fat, water and you must eat at least three times a day. The initiate is not trying to get on a marathon right away, he’s going about a scientific process towards realization and nutrition is based on a solar principle therefore this way of eating is called Solar Nutrition. The Earth we live on revolves and draws its strength and vitality from the rays of the sun and therefore certain types of food are affected by those rays, our physical bodies also. We secrete certain chemicals at certain times of the day to handle the basic composition of food which is protein, fat, carbohydrate, water. So dawn, which is the first meal, the human body is supposed to have protein and we have it in the form of nuts growing high off the trees where the indirect rays of the sun are hitting it and the fruits on the trees also we have the liquid in the fruit and the fat in the nut or oil. Our bodies will utilize that easily because nature would secrete those type of elements in the intestinal tract to handle it. Now towards the middle of the day when the rays of the sun are directly overhead, nature has provided food in a large abundance especially when we are active, flooding our intestinal tract with tremendous amount of chemicals to be active then. Those food that grow on the surface of the earth, not on the trees now but on the surface of the earth and there you have a complete composition again of protein, fat, carbohydrate, water. You have your protein now in the form of your beans, you have your fat also in your different seeds, you have your water in the juices, the carbohydrate is also there, you have a larger selection of food in the middle of the day. Now at night nature did not intend us to eat too much because it was designed for us to align ourselves with the Divine Consciousness in meditation and even then nature has provided us a complete diet of protein, fat, water, carbohydrate. We have the protein in the form of the peanut, potato, we have the carbohydrate and the vegetables that grow under the ground and their juices as water and if you’ll study all the three phases of where food grow: high on the trees, above the surface of the ground, and under the earth you have protein, fat, carbohydrate, water. Now if you’re interested in color scheme you couldn’t be better supplied with a color scheme in each ratio or level or time of the day. The colors are marvelous when you look at them and you put them on a plate to see how palatable, how enticing it is to the appetite. Your baked potatoes, your sweet ordinary potato which is your sweet potato and ordinary white potato, one is orange looking, one is white. You have carrots, beautiful color, your beets red vitality, your artichokes, your peanut, your radishes, your onions, the color scheme is so marvelous and the various ways of preparation. Above the ground you have all the various greens, corn is yellow, okra is green, your peppers are green bell pepper, your cauliflowers, your broccoli then you have tomato but tomato is a part fruit part vegetable and then in the afternoon you also have fruits that grow on the ground like your melons, your strawberries and berries, you even have your olives, you have all the various colored beans, it’s a marvelous display of colors. 0:50 In the morning you have all the fruits that grow high in the trees and there are various colors and the nuts. So in color scheme alone by their vibratory rate and their particular combinations we have one of the most unique system laid out by nature to eat. Now if you have to eat the meat then in the middle of the day you have your four-legged creatures and your two-legged ones and at night you have those that live under the water that have no legs and the one that live inside the bird which is an egg so you still have protein if you think that meat gives you protein or egg give you protein, you got more protein than you want now. Yet these creatures must eat plant life to get protein and they have to transform it in their system to get amino acids yet amino acids are found in all three times of the day, in all three types of food, when you combine them all in 24 hours you’ve got your amino acid. And every fruit has mineral or has vitamins so you have it there and vegetables have minerals, vitamins so each portion of the day you’re having minerals and vitamins also. Now this is the basic of the diet, what is it leading us to? It is leading us not to the fact that we don’t eat meat or we don’t want to eat meat because the animal dies in pain, the animal does die in pain and secretes certain toxins to the system or because animal meat is not digested but decomposes in the intestinal tract by intestinal heat, if we were digesting meat products, we would be already digesting our intestinal tract. It decomposes by the intestinal heat, hydrochloric acid, and goes through decomposition and finally passes out of us but that is not the main reason why we don’t eat the meat. The main reason why we don’t eat the meat is that it takes a long time to get those tendencies of the animal kingdom out from our system, the electrical body of the animal which carries the tendencies, the potencies, the patterns of behavior that imposes the cell itself upon our electrical body. We say Peter was told by the Lord to eat everything that He made because there was nothing unclean, I say Peter was tricked by the Lord of Creation or Karma, not the true Lord of the Universe but that Lord that governs the animal kingdom that put Peter to the test between his electrical body and the electrical bodies of the animals. When the electrical body of the animal dominates the electrical body of the human being Man still has animal tendencies and we see after he did pursue eating that type of food, he did something that illustrated the animal tendency was predominant. There was a community being built by the early initiates and while gathering funds a man and his wife put some funds into the basket and Peter knew that these were wealthy people and made a remark that they should be dead and the two people dropped down and died. His power was abused, he released the energy too fast causing the death of the two people and then he had remorse, the animal tendency was too strong, he had succumbed to it. Another instance is when he saw Paul teaching and he became envious of Paul, the beast in him was stronger than the man in him because of the tendencies incorporated electrically into his body by the nutrition. He came out of the room and a blind man said to him “Heal me” and he walked away pay no attention to the blind man but when he was sufficiently penitent in consciousness and started to realize what is happening to him then he walked back and passing the man his shadow fell upon the man and the man was healed. We have some unique instances like this in many of the various teachings of the East where the animal tendency predominates or try to predominate in the human life. We often see pictures where Yogis are meditating on animal skins and if they are so loving why should they meditate on an animal’s skin, let alone a tiger but if you inquire you’ll find out it’s not any ordinary tiger they’re meditating on. It is a tiger yes but a tiger that has destroyed a human life, they seek out that tiger by mutual consent of the community to perform what is called justice. He’s hunted down like an ordinary criminal and he’s killed like an ordinary criminal like capital punishment then his hide is then taken, dried, and given to some spiritual person to meditate on to set the balance of the electrical forces between the animal kingdom and the human kingdom. There should be no time when the animal tendencies dominate human tendencies, if we allow that then we will have like in the ancient days when the Lord looked down and saw the people were becoming worse than the beast in the field after living off the beast in the field and therefore decided to destroy them by drowning them all out. It’s interesting that what is involved in the animal not because the animal is designed to suffer pain we should not eat it nor because the animal does not decompose or digest, it decomposes in fact, it does not digest in the intestinal tract. These two things are enough but the most important thing is the animal tendencies, the electrical potencies that tend to dominate our electrical body. Another thing is you may not remove all the animal tendencies out of your system in one incarnation and you may have to come back and work it out in many incarnations because it takes a long time to work out the animal tendencies electrically, the physical body may pass it out in the form of residue but the electrical body retains it. If those are in doubt that this is not possible, there’s enough evidence in research and working in processing or recycling an individual. If an individual hurts an animal and the memory of the hurt is there or the animal has hurt the individual by cycling the consciousness, we can see all the agony that is retained in the subconscious part of the human being and it will take a long time to get that out of the system. Not too long ago I was working with somebody and recycling them who had taken an ewe, you know what an ewe is? A lamb, by the neck and dragged it up on a truck, the lamb run for its life fearing death, this individual held on and held on as long as he could and the ewe kept pulling, pulling, and tugging hoping that he would escape and eventually he flipped the man but it did not throw the man completely loosely from him but he flipped the man over enough to injure the man but the man held on just the same and put the ewe in the truck and took it to the farm. 1:00 Later on that man had tremendous aches and pains but then the pain subsided, a few years after the man would complain with an ache in his shoulder and inquiring into him I found out that this pain only occurred when he was wrestling with a ewe. We tried to cycle it out of him, it went out to some degree but there was a small ache there. As we started to work on him, it turned out to be that the pain suffered by the lamb was persisting now, not the man’s pain. The dignity of the lamb was dominating the electrical mechanism of the man and as long as the man did not resolve this condition with the dignity of the lamb, the lamb’s dignity dominated and maintained the pain in the man’s body. Until that was restored and the lamb knew from an electrical relationship that there was nothing to fear from the man, the pain stopped. Now this was fortunate for the man that he could re-experience and work out the tendencies in his body on a conscious level, let us think for one moment when the lamb is dead and the man is dead and never worked it out then we understand what the Lord meant, “Vengeance is mind sayeth the Lord,’ it goes into every form of life, we are affected in a strange way. There are many instances of this relationship with the animal kingdom trying to dominate the human kingdom electrically so we are not trying to tell you to quit eating the animal product immediately but getting into the spiritual life you have to understand where you’re going, why you’re going that way, and what is involved. We are all going back to the Creative Source, light, to live off of pure energy eventually, “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed out in the mouth of God,” cosmic energy but he can’t get back there right away, he has to go back gradually through a process of elimination and in the elimination of the products of the animal kingdom, bird kingdom, marine life, and the egg process he must go back gradually because he is the product of a gradual growth, he’s a product of a genetic process too. So he must diminish quantity first, the gradual quantity must be diminished slowly so if you’re accustomed to your 15 pounds of beef a week, you can diminish that quantity slowly or 10 pounds of fish, 14 pounds of chicken, don’t we all eat that much a week, seven days a week, three hamburgers a day plus a chicken at night and plus the egg for breakfast (audience laughing), shrimp cocktail? All these things pile up at the end of the week and you look at it seven days is a lot of… We must diminish quantity first before type, the quantity we diminish versus the four-legged ones, we start with the four-legged ones so some people used to eat horse meat you know, yeah it’s during the war time they ate horse but it’s diminishing the quantity and then the type. Remember Man has fallen from a high state to where he actually ate man too you know, Man hasn’t gone that far that he cannot say he did not eat man at one time. We have come up a tremendous process in time and these are all karmic obligations to which we are confronted with and many of the diseases that come back from karma into our present life hinges on the four disciplines. So we have to watch the quantity first then the type and the worst when you first get rid in the four-legged one is that pig, you always try to get rid of him first. You see he was the only creature designed by Noah to take care of the feces in the ark because Noah had a problem, he didn’t know what to do when he had a pair of everything, what’s he going to do with the excrement? So he designed the pig, he was a wise man and a pig is an unusual looking creature, he had to provide some way to clean it up therefore it was called swine, scavenger, it was not allowed to be used even before or after the ark. So the swine is the first one we try to eliminate from our system not because of trichinosis which is a particular worm that lives in the swine and my wife can tell you most of us who’ve eaten meat have some type of worm or parasite in our bodies. It takes a long time to get them out but those are the first ones you want to get rid of, the swine then four legged ones like the cow or the rabbit and then the two legged ones, quantity first and type. Gradually going back to where you’re going now from meat form to plant form, the solid plant will eventually diminish now into pulp form then it will diminish down into liquid form then it will diminish down into mineral form. We are partially doing that now by eating the bulk vegetable raw then pulverizing it into puree then reducing it into a liquid form like juice and then we are dehydrating it down into mineral form like tablets so like the other day they said this movie actor is living on over 500 tablets a day? So Man is getting gradually towards this condition but more and more as he diminishes, he will learn to go back naturally until he will learn to live directly on the solar energy but he can’t rush it, it takes time, he must realize where he’s going and why he’s going there because this is his natural evolution. All right the second discipline is alcohol, the initiate does not use the alcohol because the alcohol has a tendency to throw off the gyroscopic action of the brain and you need you need that gyroscopic action when you go into intense meditation, you need that balance inside to stick with the sound current and the light less the various actions and tendencies of the mechanism tend to throw you off and you get scared inside and God is not going to come so easy to you know, He’s going to give you all the symptoms of illness because Cosmic Consciousness is involved with these symptoms, the only difference between the sick man and the spiritual man is that he’s passed through all these symptoms but he retains a rationality of behavior and he has the health in the end otherwise you would be on the other side of the scale, he would have all types of symptoms of illness but the alcohol primarily is to prevent you from throwing off the gyroscopic of the brain that’s the reason why we don’t use it. Now the bliss that you may get from the bottle is not the bliss you’ll get from from meditation, you know they all say spirit and Man is looking for the bottle bliss, this is not what we’re trying to accomplish, we’re trying to get bliss from within our own mechanism. 1:10 Now the third discipline is the drugs and I don’t mean it in terms of medicine for the body if you have a cut where you’re going to some medical person to give you the drugs, I do not mean that. It’s to use drugs orally or some form to hallucinate in order to get what we call psychic experiences because no drug will give you God realization, number one, and what you’re doing to the body is sometimes not repairable even in one incarnation, you may have to relive a lifetime to correct it, when you hotrod the brain and throw it off. Now the brain once it’s hot rodded by the drug fractures the auric web, the actual sheet that protects you against entities and you can become very mediumistic and very susceptible to obsession and the lower entities will try to latch on to you from the leaking ectoplasm out of your body therefore many people tend to be very irritable, restless after the drug act has taken over. Also the face loses its luster, there is very little glow there, it seems like a sort of a waxy looking expression, very glum, you can always see their movements and their desire to sleep all day and their desire to avoid action so we know that it is not doing them any good. Also it is the danger of being vulnerable to the entities around us that are refusing to return into a physical body by logical law to work out their unfulfilled desires therefore they would latch on to the human being and use his body plasma, his body force field to talk through or indicate to him what is going on on the other side too. So when we become susceptible to them and we are serving or using them to guide us, in turn when we pass on we will have to serve them now. This is the condemnation of Samuel to Saul and the witch of Endor because no realized Master will come through a medium or any mediumistic practice to indicate to the student this is the way to God. The way to God is not through that, the way to God is through realization and the opening up of your own inner forces yourself through meditation and prayer. The fourth discipline is a normal married life with your husband or wife and the understanding of the laws involved in that moral life. When the act is performed without consent by violence, the aura is black and even the law will go to the extent to grant abortion lest the child turn out to be an invalid or distorted in some shape or form because these forces that are so strong within us can set up tremendous reactions in the system under violence. When is performed without consent of the parent by revolt, the order is gray/green and there again the child can either be deformed or alienated in many ways and go through many different type of temperamental attitudes and feel itself estranged from the parent, sometimes there can be invalids too. When the act is performed with consent and with your loved one, the aura is pink because there is no guilt, no fear, and this is a natural law and realized Masters do not born in the homes of non-initiates because they themselves are initiates and since they are initiates they tow the initiate life, they follow the initiate life, they live the initiate life so they have to be born in a home of initiates. In the life of Mary and Joseph they were initiates and only in initiate life you will find immaculate conception a possibility because there are four ways to be born. One, you’re born having no memory of your past life by decree of the Lord of Karma that you should not know your past life. Two, born having knowledge of your past life decree of Divine Light, you have earned that. Three, immaculate conception or extrasensory insemination, this is possible by the initiate life or four, a direct materialization, Man was that when he was created, a direct materialization of the Cosmic Will. So we have fallen down to where we are being born without memory of past life, we are now barely returning or retracing our steps to being born with some memory of past lives. So the fourth life or discipline, the fourth principle or discipline is a normal happy life with your loved one, not always possible at times you know, I know it’s difficult. The fifth discipline is that you must meditate a minimum of two and a half hours a day which is one tenth portion of 24 hours and that is the origin of tithing. Tithing is not necessarily what you give out of your pocket though we should give charity but the truth tithing or the basis of it is based on meditative life. A Book of Psalms in your very first verse it tells you there, psalm number one, “A man should meditate day and night on the right law of the Lord” and therefore when you meditate day and night that’s two and a half hours, an hour in the morning, an hour at night, and a half an hour in the middle of the day and that’s one tenth portion of 24 hours because we owe the Creative Forcefield our existence because we cannot exist without the next breath and if we don’t take it, they’ll either cremate us or bury us so in 24 hours if you using breath as a means of survival in terms of pursuing your unfinished desires and without having any consideration for the source of that power, then you are in a sense holding back your spiritual unfoldment but one tenth portion of the day given to that according to the great Master Babaji, He said “A little of this meditation will free you of the after death states and their effects.” 1:20 The after-death states have the tremendous impact upon us, many of us do not know the journey beyond the grave because the Lords of Karma don’t want us to know what goes on behind the veil curtain of birth and death. There is really no death but there’s a birth into another reality just as there was a birth into this reality. If we were to know what was going to happen to us in this side of life when we came in, we would never come in and if we’re going to know what is going to happen to us on the other side because we didn’t fulfill what we’re supposed to fulfill, we wouldn’t want to go out (laughter) but that’s because the laws of karma are designated that particular responsibility to block us so that we go from birth to birth, level to level, in a state of lamb-like attitudes but a realized person must do like Paul, “live and die daily,” he must have the experience of the divine spirituality in himself, he must experience this conscious death going in and out of the mechanism and understanding the reality behind it and gaining the freedom. So life control is that particular method that the initiate employs in order to realize God so that disciplines are very simple, they are not imposed upon us by any dictatorial principle, it’s simply that it’s the natural law of creation for us to live an ethical life. Now after hearing all this, you don’t want to be initiated believe me you’re better off not to get initiated (Adano laughing) because after initiated you say you wish you never met this guy because all the problems start to begin to happen then, you see? I don’t promise you that God’s gonna make it easy after initiation because He doesn’t make it easier, the more it gets difficult and the more people dislike you after initiation, the quicker you get into God because God alone, nobody else, you and God, it’s going to be a hard struggle but this is what happens at times. That doesn’t say you will not have your friends back but you first got to find yourself in the journey then all the people come back but when you start out you may find that many of your friends suddenly start to dislike you, many of them suddenly gravitating to you, either way it’s a difficult process and it’s not intended to make it happy because “greater the obstacles, greater the person” and a spiritual life is such a process demanding tremendous tests and trials all the way. We’re gonna be tested, in fact before initiation you were not really tested, if you think you were tested before initiation you only kidding yourself, we haven’t been tested yet, it’s after initiation you begin to find out how you’re tested, why? Because all those unfinished karma that is supposed to come due in several incarnations suddenly start to come due now, you see? If you’re going towards God, you got to pay your bills. Audience: (Laughing). You didn’t tell us. Now he tells us. Adano: The thing is this, because you hear of it now you want to go back. Audience: (Inaudible then laughter). Adano: Good, that’s why I changed the marriage vows in the marriage ceremony for the initiate. Years ago I used to hear “for better and for worse” and because we are programmed at this ceremony and for sure it turns out for worse so I change it now “for worse and for better” so in the initial stages of your life you’re going to get all the worse and then it starts getting better because if you anticipate the better, the better will come, if you are anticipating the worse, the worst comes. So equally true in the spiritual path the initiate life “the best is always coming, more and more,” that’s why they say God is unanticipatory joy. You cannot begin to anticipate the next level of joy as (inaudible) evolved in it, the joy gets greater, the experiences get more profound otherwise we’ll get bored if we can anticipate God’s joy or God’s gifts see? So spiritual life is designed in such a way to trim off the excess behavior patterns that hold us back. Now it may be called by the young people “the straight life,” it’s kind of a straight/square life well it’s not a straight/square life because to find a true human being who can live these laws is pretty difficult to find, there aren’t too many, they’re like thumbs on the hand, you see how close your thumb is to the four fingers? Misery love company, the four fingers, the further you’re away from misery, you’re closer to God like a thumb. Those who don’t like you push you away but the four fingers can’t work, you look at them, absolutely weak. You take that thumb and put it there and apply a little pressure and you got strength, it takes spiritual life of some type of dedication to bring strength into your life otherwise it’s just like those four fingers, they’re very weak. Those four disciplines that we can describe aren’t as powerful until you put in the two and a half hours of meditation, they wouldn’t be powerful for you if you don’t put in the meditation, the meditation makes those four principles live or vibrate as a power in the human life, the initiate finds that he must meditate. Now there are two ways to meditate, by yourself and in a group, some of us may feel that we don’t want to meditate by ourselves and seek out the group, others don’t want to meditate in the group and do it by themselves but it’s like the two hands on the body or like the two wings on a bird, they can’t fly by themselves, the bird can’t fly with one wing, real realized people meditate by themselves first and they meditate in group because that’s what brings the balance. True Masters live with the group but first live with themselves, they first had to acquire some realization by themselves and then live with others to pass it on, raise the vibration so we can help each other to raise the level of our consciousness in a group meditation and it’s very important to have the group meditation because group meditation sets the tone and the attitude for your inner life. 1:30 Because if the atmosphere and the idea of realizing that God and the presence of God and all the Holy Ones are around you in the atmosphere and acting as a group, you intensify that atmosphere and by intensifying the atmosphere with the presence of God and the Holy Ones, you can just walk in and just sit down in that room and in a split second you will be in that state of awareness because His strength is pulling, you are pulling in more strength more and more, that consciousness is pulling you up more and more. If everybody in the room meditates and they are pulling up on that same ideal, that whole room is impregnated now with the presence and when you step into it you start pulling it. It’s not how long or how deep you meditate, see many of us can meditate for long hours and not getting very deep and many of us can meditate very short and get very deep, you’ll discover this at times in your meditation there are times you can go very long hours not getting deep, you go a short time and get very deep and there are times you can go short and never get deep and you have to go long to get deep so this is going to vary because we live in what is called biorhythms of the body and environmental rhythms. These biorhythms of the body and the environmental rhythms take their toll upon us and there is where the Masters come in now with the idea that we can block out the environmental pressures through the use of certain equipment on the body which we call astrological bracelets to shut that off and therefore allow us to meditate with more ease, more freedom, it’s like fitting a house with an electrical rod to shunt off the magnetic waves. As we get deeper into the meditation, more and more you begin to realize that the meditation is centered upon returning back to the God-hood in you, returning back to that God-self within yourself. Now many of us come to meditation and we are very troubled, very aggravated and if we maintain the attitude of anger/tension then the meditation is not going to do anything and if we over talk then we create too much tension in the atmosphere. The meditation should always be one of silence, one of inner communion and getting together should always be in that attitude that you come and try to get into that mood, try to feel that vibration in the room, and try to go into it and as initiates this is the primary purpose of getting together once a week or whatever you want to do, to have that bond or communion of the Spirit because an initiate is linked up automatically to all initiates by the same Master Current, no matter where he is is linked up like the heart. The sacred heart of Jesus or the Christ consciousness passes through us to everyone and if we link into the heart, we are locked into all the force fields. That’s why Jesus said, “When two or three are gathered in My Name there am I in the midst,” this is group meditation and when you retreat into your innermost chamber that is individual meditation. So if you have any questions pertaining to what initiation or what it entails, this is what it is, it entails these four basic disciplines and the fifth being to meditate two and a half hours a day. Now if the Lord wants you to come tomorrow, come hail or storm or rain or wind if you’re gonna be here, you’re gonna be here, if you ain’t gonna be here you ain’t gonna be here but if you do come bring an apple with you. Any questions? Yes? Adano: How does fasting help meditation? Adano: Fasting helps meditation by giving the body a chance to rest and it is not the fast of abstaining from food that helps the meditation, it is the concept of fast to abstain that helps meditation. Now if you fast from food it is physical health, if you fast from talking that releases pressure in your throat, if you fast from looking that releases pressure from the eyes, if you fast from listening that releases vibratory oscillation in the brain. Now, but if you can fast from thinking that is that you don’t have verbal games in your brain then you have now the result of good meditation. You see it’s not the food, it is what the word fast implies, that we must bring these things into abeyance or in check so we must look at the word fast in terms as a process now of elimination from the five senses and their implications and their applications or uses. The mouth is used to eat so if we shut down there for one 24 hour period and the eyes are used to see, we shut down that for 24 hour period, the ears are used to hear we shut down that for 24 hours, and the touch we shut it down for 24 hours, the brain is used for thinking and you know your brain can think a million different things. Now try this for fasting tonight when you go home, don’t think of monkeys. Audience: (Laughter). Now we’re going to think about monkeys. Adano: You see you don’t fast and if you fast on monkeys that means you don’t think of monkeys you see. There was a man who developed an instrument it was called the Winchester, it was a gun, and if you ever heard the history of how this gun was developed it was developed by a man in prison. He wanted to get out so badly that all he could think of was a gun and all night he had nightmares of all types of guns, he could see them coming into his mind, the more he stopped thinking of it, the more the guns came into his mind and he kept on thinking so what could he do? Eventually the whole mechanics of the gun came to his mind and he did make it from this particular mental process. If you tell yourself you don’t want to do something which is a fast, “I don’t want to eat today,” you know what gonna happen? Audience: You’ll be at the refrigerator all day. Adano: You tell yourself you don’t want to think of certain things… now how you trick yourself back, tell yourself you want to fast? Tell yourself I don’t want to fast. See if you tell yourself you don’t want to fast before you know it you don’t feel to eat so people who say they want to lose weight, they’re not losing weight, tell themselves they want to gain weight, they want to gain weight, they hardly want to eat. 1:40 It’s a peculiar thing tell the man not eat the fruit in the Garden of Eden, what do he do? Audience: He ate it. Adano: He ate it, peculiar psychology but it works, as long as you don’t want to do something you’ll be doing it, strange but that’s how it works. Audience: That’s what I want to ask you about the other what day when you mentioned that same thing, why do we have this perverseness in us, it’s just it’s automatic (inaudible), where does it come from? Adano: That’s lesson number one in the spiritual path, it’s called eating your words back. You see when you become an initiate that is the first thing you begin to observe, it’s called eating your words back and sometimes the verbs and the adjectives stick pretty difficult in the throat there you know, you say something “I don’t want” and boom it comes back. Audience: Adano, after I left Texas I began eating eggs everyday and a month and a half, I have to say that eggs have no taste anymore, they taste like water so I concluded to give them up. Adano: Well good for you. Audience: Adano, (inaudible), do they judge you by degrees or just black and white because the emotional setup of a person because just like last night I rode home in a car with four people who aren’t initiates, they asked me what initiation was and I had confronted this woman before so I knew if I told her it was a gift of God, she would get mad. If I told her I’m not going to tell you what it is, she’ll get mad so then I get hostile when people have jumped me so much about it and they keep jumping you know and I was so tense that I can’t even meditate now so I don’t even know what to do about the situation. (Inaudible) but what I mean is well how do they judge you, by your strengths or how much you’re fighting, you’re surviving. Adano: You’re lucky because you got all these trials. Audience: (Laughter). Adano: Without the trials how would you be in a corner to keep your mouth shut? Audience: Huh? Adano: How would you get into a corner to keep your mouth shut? Well this is why I say you’re lucky because this is the first time your mouth will get a chance to fast Audience: (Laughter). Adano: You just give the answer, you don’t want to waste the breath because it’s precious to you. God will show you by putting all these trials in front of you, you’re going to learn now to respect the breath, you’re going to respect it for the first time and you’re going to conserve your energies. Audience: It’s really hard. (Inaudible). And even the office, I’ve been waiting since Christmas to see Adano again and we never work (inaudible) and we have to work tonight. Adano: Good, so you see how lucky you are? Audience: (Inaudible) I really need that strength. (Laughter). Audience: Don’t worry about Wednesday night, Adano won’t be here. He’ll be back Thursday. Adano: Well I didn’t know my schedule suddenly changed. Audience: Well now we know why you got married. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Well you have someone you want to mention? Audience: Well I mentioned my son, that’s who I’m worried about (inaudible). Audience: (Laughter). Adano: Well that’s not to worry about. Audience: (Inaudible). Adano: Saint Paul said something like that too, “we’re dead in the Spirit until we’re born” so he is dead in spirit now, he’s born now. Audience: Adano in the second discipline you mentioned, what part can wine play if any? Adano: There was a man who was a minister and he was forced to drink all the remains of the cup after the people came to church so he got pretty peeved because he wanted to obey the discipline and then he was told “don’t worry.” Now the next day there were more people appearing to take communion there was nothing left in the cup for him to drink so if you’re worrying about the alcohol coming, it’s always going to find a way that it’s gonna be relieved from it. Now if you’re drinking it then start to slowly get it out of the system but don’t drop it all up, take your time and go off of it. Audience: Well the reason I asked the question is because wine does play a part in much of the ritual of the biblical era and even today in religious ceremonies. Adano: Well in the early days they used what we called “new wine” which is grape juice, fermented wine was called “old wine.” The word wine always referred to the juice of the grape you see and the new wine was considered the juice that was just pressed from the grape and the old one was considered the aged juice that’s why it says “don’t put old wine into new wine skins,” they didn’t say “don’t put new wine into old wine skins.” See the wine was always aged if you call it old wine but new wine was supposed to be the juice itself and that wasn’t fermented, see the fermented one was aged a long time to bring it to that state. Now if you are attuning yourself inside and you are using the wine, I’d say go off of it gradually because it’s the alcoholic content in the wine that we’re concerned about. Now my wife will tell you some strange incidences with alcohol with the initiate and I’ll let her tell you some experiments or experiences with it. 1:50 Audience: Well the initiation has to do with learning how to control breath a certain technique of breathing which in turn helps one to control the electromagnetic forces in the body in order to produce certain effects. (Inaudible). He will be speaking Wednesday night Richmond Virginia at the War Memorial auditorium there to quite a few people, we’re most anxious to hear him in Richmond Virginia. Adano: I’ll be leaving there in the morning so it takes about two and a half hours to get there. Audience: (General conversation).
1972 May 8 - Part 2 The Initiate Life
Adano72_05_08_2TheInitiateLifeQ1RR - Audience: Metho-psychosis (inaudible). Adano: That is a transferring from one state to another, it takes a great deal of pain inflicted upon another human being to create this condition in this being to go from one state to another. Audience: You mean from a state of being a man into an animal? Adano: That takes a long, long time. Man is a creation, he’s not supposed to go back into the animal kingdom but the only way he can go back into that he would have to do tremendous sufferings or inflict tremendous sufferings in another human being before that can happen. Audience: That’s because there is no Soul lost, it has a chance again is that it? Adano: Yes. Audience:

Adano72_09_0HouseholderQ1NW4 - Chanting at beginning, then meditation, then a prayer, “Divine will, flowing through us, will dissolve and eliminate all those conditions that interfere with the normal and harmonious flow of Tom Dodd. Divine will, flowing through us, will strengthen and rebuild all those conditions that interfere and are necessary for the normal and harmonious flow of Tom Dodd. It is said, it is done, so be it. Om, Om, Om.” Questions and answers concerning what was covered the last two days. If there is no perfect marriage, then the experience is for learning. Perfect marriage exists when two individuals grow together in consciousness and can lock-in in consciousness. Charan Singh, when he was a boy, his grandfather told him that he would get married. Charan Singh said he wanted to renounce the world. The grandfather laughed. Story about the girl who wants to see the great Master and the train stopping inexplicably for her to see Him. The Master said “why do you bother me with such things as stopping the train?” He initiated her and she saw the light and heard the sound current. She was describing all the realms verbally to everybody. They begin to realize that she is a very unusual person. Just then the grandson comes in to pay respects and the grandfather said “there is your wife.” The grandson says “if she can follow me all the way up in the inner realms, they she can be my wife.” They sat down and meditated and the girl followed him everywhere internally. She could follow him to every region inside. Another story about a boy who studied with Yogananda. Adano met him and he had two kids. When he was a boy, he wanted to be a renunciate. Yoganada said “boy, you are going to get married.” The boy wanted to be a minister and teach and he was disheartened. The boy said “if I am going to get married, will you pick the wife for me?” Yogananda said “Divine Mother will pick a wife for you.” After a meditation, Yogananda said “that is your wife over there.” The boy was surprised. After church they went to the restaurant to eat and the boy slipped running up the stairs, the girl caught him “by the seat of his pants.” What can he do? They are married and have two beautiful children. Guidance from those individuals can lead us to the perfect marriage. So perfect marriages do exist, these are just a few instances. It is the love that resonates from inside, outside it seems comical. Masters live through a comedy of life in the outer realm. The Colonel’s wife is not a vegetarian, she likes her smokes, drink, and steaks, but she prepares vegetarian meals for him very carefully. It is not tearing the other person down, it is the mutual respect for what the other person wants to be. Tomorrow we will talk more about the relationship between husband and wife since they form a third cycle of anticipation / anxiety because the male body cannot sense effectively the rhythm of the female body. There are very few men that can do that. In the primitive society, the male body can use the nostril to sense the rhythm of the female body and vice versa. They can even pinpoint when an argument will occur due to being out of phase with each other. First few days of the cycle, the man’s breath is very foul, like being close to a fish wharf. When the woman’s body is changing, it smells the same because the body’s chemistry is involved with salt water. Sodium chloride is throwing off and it comes off through the breath. In the man, the irritability begins in the finger tips, tapping, and swinging their feet. This is the 10-12 day of the cycle change. It is the build up of the sperm movement reaching out for contact or massage. Going to bed groggy and waking up groggy, if you are not married you turn to smoking or drinking or movies. A man can do this, but a female can’t unless they go to a night club, parties, or group meetings. That tension is building up. The male senses this. If they can get together they can release themselves, otherwise they are at variance and the slightest little thing irritates them. Psychological tantrums, he will be abrupt and sharp, he can’t help it. He can’t hold it back. And when she answers back, she is out of phase, and it cuts very sharp. This is something going on between the two mechanisms. Male will take sides with male, and female with female. If there are two couples, both will take no sides, they will withdraw and relax and maybe break the tension. The cyclic rhythms are blocking rational thinking pattern of the individual temporarily. It is also picked up by the children. The youngest child will cry (5 years old) at the biting remark by the male through the subjective telegraphing. The oldest child will make a noise which causes more tension. The mother ends up in the role as a pacifier. The child ends up being used as a “therapy shunt.” If the parents don’t recognize this, the elder child will be more aggressive in distractive actions and will become more stubborn. The younger child will become more timid and a sense of pampering takes over. This is being caused by the cyclic movements inside themselves coming to critical moments. Nutrition is one way at the periods when the body is building up the stresses. If you remove those, then the stress subsides down and doesn’t have a high charge effect. Then the will of the individual can balance it out. Rajasic foods, spaghettis and mexican food, it becomes more stimulating. Don’t eat these foods at the critical moments of the cyclic actions. The male cannot set his rhythm for anytime, the female can by the moon and 28 days. His takes 35-48 days. That’s why he is more aggressive and he seems to be pursuing you to relate to you sexually. When the female is satisfied once, she doesn’t want to be involved again, but the male wants to be involved again because the energy maintains its pull. If the male has not been programmed by shock to what is called “periodical impotent reaction” where this conditions tapers off for him. (Gap in tape.) Both male and female are affected by the cycle of the moon. Females are also affected by the menstrual cycle. There are 13 full moons a year. The male body is driven into more horniness in the summertime because of the 13 full moons in the lunar year, especially July and August. In the commitment of marriage, you have a spiritual locking into one another, the auras are locked to some degree. The woman can also be affected by the man’s dreams, especially if they are violent and aggressive. The male body was the first form that took the shock when it was created, the environmental shock of the Lord creating him, then He created the female form. Adano draws an explanation of the Cosmic Force Field breaking the environmental waves. The moment it triggers off, it hits the first wave, that is a shock, 2nd, and 3rd, like a trinity, when it hits the final, it is reflected back. The 2nd wave stays out because they have to lock in to line themselves up again. Positive goes out and bounced back to the source, the negative goes out with tentacles extended out but doesn’t go back, when they line up the unity of these force trigger together to line up, they make one ?. The male is exposed to the first shock by the positive charge. The female has the nesting drive for anchoring and locking. In the female mechanism, the nesting quality is dominant. The male mechanism is constantly facing shock waves. In 24 hours the male body is exposed to more shock waves than the female body. The female body gets her exposure from interaction, not from competing, she doesn’t have to break the ice and create a new empire or build airplanes or march across Africa to meet Dr. Livingston. It is the male body that does this. The female body comes behind and tries to make semblance out of chaos. Her shocks come from this disjointed chaos. His shocks come from the challenge. The male would like to see the female more aggressive in society because the male body thrives on this aggressive interaction in the environment. So these two are constantly pulling. When the female body takes on that activity, it can be over domineering which will throw off the male mechanism. Patriarchal society is afraid of matriarchal society. The female body is resentful of the over-softness of the male body. This is why men consider themselves smarter than women. The female body is designed to anchor itself to nature by anchoring out, Mother Nature, the nesting principle. The man’s body is designed to take flight from Mother Nature, going into space, “touch me not, I have not yet ascended unto the Father.” The female Masters, Rama Krishna and his Wife. In inner awareness, the Wife was more evolved (inwardly aware and stable) than Rama Krishna. Women need a driving capacity to develop a spiritual life, they are more prone to be spiritual because of her intuitive / feeling nature. He is more relentless once he decides on it and can go through the deprivations in a later stage. Same with Yogananda’s parents, when the wife passed on, then the father was metamorphosing into the qualities of the mother. Adano talks about re-educating by odor. Begin with the new moon and try to relate to your own bodies order, then observe it in the full moon, then last quarter. Then continue onto 35 days. See how the body feels in the nerve endings for 35 days and stimulation from other females. All stresses produce changes in body chemistry that can be noticed. You may start off foul then tapering off to a musky odor. At the highest peak, it will be salty like the ocean. In the spiritual man / woman’s body, these odors become sweeter, the process of love. The desire pattern is slowly shifting to a more aesthetic quality inside. The communication is more tactual, it is not more sight, hearing, or smelling. It is touch. In touch, frequencies are transferred, the tendency to transmit healing functions. When Ananda Moi Ma met Yogananda, she touched him and hugged him and Indian women never embrace. No Swami would embrace a woman because they are working on a tactual level. Yogananda saw her as the Cosmic Mother Principle and she saw him as the Cosmic Father Principle. Touching breaks down the inhibitions and releases the pressure and make him a whole individual for the first time. In the highly spiritual life between Masters and students, there is constant touch. Yogananda would hold disciples hands, touch them, slap them, etc. Darshan is touching with the eyes. As much as man is stimulated by sight and hearing, these senses can touch you. The unity or oneness is impeded by the five senses because we live in the human body. So a Darshan is a very high form of tactual contact with another being. “If I touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole.” Tactual. You can look at someone and radiate this love and this is tactual contact. There is a danger though in ethical behavior. The most powerful force is lust which trips you up in the tactual relationship. The person may touch another one and certain sensations may come up and they may relate to them as sexual / erotic and make your mind start thinking in terms of lust. Healing force is erotic and will cause itching because it puts energy in a certain place. If the energy released is not bringing on condition such as lust or erotic actions in the body and raising the consciousness to the feeling of joy, then this is a safe factor of relationship. The most significant contact is when two people are in bed without clothes. The nearest thing to that is massage. Swimming is also good. One lusts more in the sun on a dry beach, in the water the drive is tapered down more because you are 80% water and the heat is dissipated more in water. We will get to sublimation after we deal with these forces. A child loves to be fondled and if the parent impedes the child from touching its body, it gets a shock and the child veers off into unhealthy mechanisms. Kiss and make-up is to reach out a touch, spurt is more than the previous spurt of energy. The bodily forces secrete a higher charge after a reconciliation because it is the ever new joy coming through the cells. If the argument gets too intense, laugh and touch the other person.
Adano72_09_1HouseholderWomanQ2NW4 - Yesterday we talked about the male body. Today we are going into the female body, the problems in the female body that make it difficult for the male to realize what is going on when we are married, especially in the householder life. The female body is designed for tactual reaction more than the male body because of the constant contact with children. The female body has to have more tactual experiences, the sense of touch is more developed. The child hurts is leg and the mother rubs it and the child goes an plays again. Because when we live so close to each other, we lose this tactual contact. The male body wants the tactual contact, but what interferes is the daily stress that the male body is confronting. The only way to release this stress is through massage. When first married, this is felt but not usually done. As they have children, that feeling is no longer there. Yet inwardly the feeling is crying out for contact, for this particular reaction. We tend to feel afraid to touch the other person. When in reality, that is where the body needs more tactual contact through massage where subtle forces are being transmitted. Massage is an art by itself and change the whole feeling from love to disgust because in a massage, it is not how much you rub that breaks the pressure, it is the way the motions are brought into action or expression that releases the pressure. There is a peak point of stimulation and after it tapers off and becomes an irritation. It is no longer release, it brings up tension. When you place the finger on the body and apply the pressure and rotating clockwise and moving along the body, this causes the release. Let’s test it so you can understand it. Use the chubby part of the fingertip. Don’t put too much pressure and go in a clockwise action. The first area in the male body that is very sensitive is around the neck, he loves to be massaged there. It takes the stress off the head. The female body is the same, but gets more stress relief from around the neck. In the male body, more stress is relieved from the shoulders. Let’s demonstrate it. Adano demonstrates. The female head part is like the ovum, the neck is therefore more sensitive to stress. The male body is more like the sperm and the impact cushions and the stress is in the shoulder blades through the recoil action. We are banging our heads against psychological problems everyday. Once you realize the structure and the effect of the shock (spermal), then you must use the correct tactual contact and motion to relieve it. First the head, then the spine, especially the sex regions because energy has to rise up back and make contact in the brain in the medulla. The medulla of every human being carries the same amount of stress, the little indent in the back of the head. You can massage that part the same way. Use the thumb and get a good brace on the head. The impact causes the energy to be sent up the spine like a gong (Adano makes a “bong / gong” sound). This causes the eyes to get tired. If you are driving, alternate every hour, try to stretch yourself out every hour to let the blood flow back into the spine. There are four primary techniques to release the stress on the spine (6-7 secondary ones). Everyday you must exercise your hands and fingers so they don’t bend, tap on the meaty part of the fingers. You will need that type of action to control the flow of the energy. Also working on the feet. First work around the kneecaps. Shifting the stress from thumb to each finger in turn. Always start from the kneecap. (Gap in tape). To develop magnetism, you have to know where magnetism enters, you have seven magnetic centers / vortices. The best healers have a rotund tummy because the energies come in the solar plexus. We have the rotation, the tapping, the knuckle pressure, and the shock. There are certain areas called the 20 body part technique that begin with the head first, shoulder, biceps, forearm, wrists, chest, shoulder blades, buttocks, groin, thigh, kneecap, calves, etc. Certain parts respond to certain techniques, for instance, along the spine, punching with the nail responses the highest, then pressure with the knuckle, then tapping, and least is rotation. You have to be very careful with the back and forth action of friction (rubbing hands together) because it builds up heat which reduces sensation. As soon as you feel the heat, stop, and let the heat do the work. After a bath, take a rough towel and rub until the heat builds up. (Gap in tape). It reaches a tolerance point, that’s why you find between the male and female, the daily embrace tends to taper off after a while because its a dry contact, there’s no emulsion or lubricant contact between the male and female. It’s when you have a lubricant contact is when the cells are kept in a higher potency and yearning for each other and the vibratory nature of love is heightened. If you take cream after a while and rub it on your skin (women do this a lot) what is the sensation? The sensation of rubbing cream on the skin is very stimulating because the cells are soft and pliable. So when oil are used throughout the entire body to massage it, it makes the cells more vibrant. That feeling of joy or bliss is increased. Greeks and Romans used baths of scented oil because it increased the sensation of massage. Olive oil goes right through the skin into the blood through osmotic therapy. Weight reduction can be brought on through osmotic massage and works on the cholesterol deposits in the skin. Has to be pure olive oil, no heat, pure cold pressed. Eucalyptus cleans out the lungs by inhaling it. Minerals in the water are designed for illness, not designed for a healthy body, you don’t use them on a healthy body. Swimming in salt water is ok. If you find yourself being turned off from your husband or wife, ego gets the bigger part, we can ease the stress. Familiarity breeds contempt, it is an indication of tolerance levels where it is taken for granted. There is no more sense of strangeness which keeps balance to some degree. (Gap in tape). Male body gets release in competition, challenge, or group activity going off into areas and find some kind of association with the environment that would free it from conflict. It is better to face the stress. Camouflage tends to build up neurosis. Man either ran or fought, subjugated or dominated, primitive to modern. The male body always did this to survive. The greater the camouflage, the greater the neurosis. If you turn around and face and overcome, then it breaks that pattern and releases the stress. That’s why Yukteswar said “face each problem and it will stop bothering you.” Ginseng root stimulates the gonad action and makes the individual feel more virile so he can shut off the feeling of impotency or inferiority. Equivalent to vitamin E, the anti-sterile vitamin. Adriatic hydrocortol herb (sp?) rebuilds the connective tissues. There is another herb that helps builds willpower in the body, you eat one leaf a day to get the effect, the elephant eats it. (Adano can’t remember the name, he takes quite a while to remember it, then remembers it suddenly later in the tape). Adano talks a bit about contraceptives being “against the norm” and “a threat to the norm.” Lust is the hardest of the five forces to overcome. Ego you can overcome, but lust is very hard. It is brought on by an abnorm, by factors the body cannot through off, environmental factors that cause this to exist. Man can control lust if he understands how it is constructed. He is not born lustful, but from the parental factors and nutritional factors. Lust refers to an action outside the married life with your partner. There is no lust between a married coupled. The act of sex is designed for producing children, but does the very first act of sex produce it? The reason why Masters don’t suggest sex is because of what goes into making the fluid, the gonads have a direct link to the medulla oblongata through the heart and endocrine system. This organ is trapping secretion from the brain, brain cells, to make sperm. It takes three months and 3,000 to 4,000 sperms in one secretion. The woman’s brain cells go down every 28 days to create the ovum. The act of procreation is a mental impression stimulated by the mind. If you degenerate the body, the brain, you will pull in a degenerate entity into the world as a baby. Sublimation of the act reverses the brain cells back up through para-physical methods to be reabsorbed into the brain. The early disciplines were not just to thwart the individual.
Adano72_09_3HouseholderPolarityConceptionQ1NW4 - Today we are continuing the study of the householder initiate and the female body forms. Eye contact is very important for the female body. The female body telegraphs most of its feelings through the eyes which is picked up by the expression in the face. That feeling of nesting has a magnetic pull though the eyes to draw to it. The magnetism is low during the menstrual cycle, high before and after and very electric, the eyes can glow. In the male body this is different, the magnetism of the eyes are only strong at night, weak in the daytime, opposite for the female body. There is a fluctuation in the time of the moon. When the moon is full, the magnetism is strong in the eyes of the male body, opposite for female (last quarter). The magnetism can be built up by focusing. When the eye is centered on some specific object without wavering, the magnetism is increased, also by shifting the breath through “magnetic breathing.” This occurs during sex, the breathing gets heavy and deep. Alternate breath technique in yoga (through each nostril one at a time). Magnetism is weak when left nostril is breathing in and the eyes don’t generate a charge (charge is negative). Opposite for right. A spiritual master has recognized the polarization of the body and only generates the charge when breathing on the right charge. He can shift it if necessary for him to work negatively (when the breath is on the right nostril). Since the magnetism shifts all the time by the breathing, it shifts with the position of the eye. This changes every hour and you have to build the magnetism from the positive charge. If there is too much in one nostril, you have to correct it by the focusing of the eyes. The female body is stimulated by sound. You have to listen to the sound in the nostril. Adano takes a survey of left vs. right nostril for men and women in the room. 7 = right. Those pulling in on the left, bring the energy (focus attention) to the right eye. Put the eyeball outward. Keep the eyes steady and don’t blink. If you are breathing through the left nostril and projecting with the right eye, then raise the left hand (so the energy is coming out the left fingertips) and clench the right fist. Begin to feel it rising up through the spine up to the head, this magnetic charge building up. The magnetic field is exactly 17 inches from the body, the first 6 inches is the electrical field, the next 11 inches out is the magnetic field. From then on out, feel the magnetic field around you and its biggest potential is from the tummy. Now as you keep the eyes steady and focus, let the whole face begin to smile. The cells will be electro magnetized now and will polarize. Feel all the cells smiling and to increase the magnetic charge, reach out to grab the person’s hand next to you. Now build up the charge by feeling it passing through the hands, all the way through, you will feel the breath begin to synchronize. Now you will feel a warmth flowing out from the eyes. That magnetic field is becoming in a state of unity and a whole body will start to feel the flow of the magnetic field. Now you nourish the body magnetically this way because it is an electrical polarization in the cells, like a battery hooked into a battery charger, and the whole body is charging itself. Let go of the other person’s hands and bring the two palms together and retain the charge in the body. You are charging the body to its maximum. Once that subtle movement in the spine is felt, the whole body is magnetized. Now if you want to transfer this magnetism to your loved one, then you transfer it from your right hand. Let one male and one female touch the back of the neck of another person. Ok, try somebody else now. Face each other and put the right hand on the back of the other person’s neck. Ok, try somebody else. (Gap in tape). There are Psalms for painless of childbirth. They are mantras designed for the release of the child from the womb without pain. Extrasensory bio-magnetic transference can be perform with the hands and can be used at the highest level for immaculate conception. Hileil was the Master for Jesus’ parents and helped conceive Jesus through extrasensory spermal transfer without contact between Mary and Joseph. Adano explains in detail. So it is not just the two individuals that are involved through a sonic beam. It is a form of the Holy Breath transmitting the sperm to the ovum by sound waves. Doctors know this is possible. Rama’s wife Sita was also an immaculate conception birth thousands of years earlier. Polarization occurs because Sita was a woman and Jesus was a man to balance the force. He was born in the 4th year of BC. Now we are moving up into the aquarian age which will start a new polarization. The chances are that it will be a woman first before a man. So you see the Householder life is a fantastic culmination of all the laws of nature bordering on the human body. We are fortunate to have a human body. From a survival standpoint, you are the only sperm that became you. In terms of self evaluation, you can trust that force that brought you to maturity as human being to make it possible for you to experience God Realization in this body. “Mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do and live.” This is what happened to Elias and Elijah. Story about giving a double portion of the spirit, asking for something for nothing. The Master tricked him and made him works doubly hard. We always ask for more than what we can chew. Nine times out of ten you will rather die choking than let it go because of pride. The Master has to play tricks on you to free you from your ignorance. Story of a guy asking a Master lots of questions for his Thesis, the Master just gave him platitudes and non-sensical answers. He was total distraught. On the last day, the Master asked him “I see that you are working on your thesis. Why are you staying here?” He was blocking all the answers through his intellectual way. The Master was not going to intellectually satisfy him so the Master exhausted the boy. They are intended to make you look at yourself. The answers you are looking for are locked up in the questions. Confirmation is only satisfactory if you can duplicate the result without deteriorating your nature. A true experience will not tear you down and make you feel despondent, it will build you up and leave you in a heightened state of Joy. The aftereffect should be tears of Joy, not tears of sorrow. The boy in Yogananda who saw the stuff that the dog vomited up, Yogananda ate it and made the boy eat it. The boy was surprised to find it had no odor, smell, of taste, but he did have a “2x4 flash of light in his head.” His body was tingling with Joy, which is God. Their jokes are a little too rough. Wise men like to joke now and then, but you don’t want to be the butt of their jokes. A good disciple has no mind of his own, he is like putty in the hands of a Master. For example, Prashad in the Cosmic Kitchen, all the food is blessed. “I would not hesitate to eat it from the trash, even if a roach walked over it. Even the roach is blessed.” The only way you will know it is Prashad is if you pick it up and eat and have one tremendous experience, like a triple dose of LSD. If you don’t feel something you are blocking and you are just delaying the experience like a delayed time bomb. It goes off when you hit a low point.
Adano72_09_4HouseholderElectricalEntitiesQ1NW4 - The married life is not like the fairy books. Living happily ever after doesn’t exist. What exists is a human being, male, that goes out in constant flow to drive, reach out, penetrate, to challenge. The female body is the nesting force, the gathering, the collecting action. Then these two forces are in direct opposition in their perfectness and at the same time they are uniquely blended when they learn to merge. Problem with overfamiliarity in a relationship can cause “turning off” and touching someone else can “turn you on.” A little sense of respect is sufficient to keep the love going. We do need to realize that the man lived in one room and the woman in the other in the old days. This continued the courtship. Not taking the mate for granted. You can’t have a school to train somebody to be pregnant. Story about ostracism in societies about being chaste. The primitive people could see auras and see what had happened. Story about maintaining bloodlines in Hawaii by inter marrying (inbreeding) royalty initially to “carry the force” to new areas. Experimenting outside the married cycle can produce mental imbalances. A married man is committed to his wife, but sees a beautiful woman and can’t do anything about it. So he reincarnates and has to fulfill the karmic conditions. If we understand it, we rise above it, if not, we succumb to it. We are constantly discharging brain cells through the spinal column which attracts “entities.” Miscarriages can be causes by several activities, which are karmic to a certain extent. You might have had an abortion in a previous life and now have to live through a miscarriage or death in pregnancy. Some schools of thought say abortions or contraception are not taking life, but the release of energy cannot be destroyed. 22 This is where the saint or the master or religious people come in now to emphasize why in your scriptures there are certain references to these ids (ideas) of spilling the seed or aborting before completion and why a pope would be adamant against trying to accept these ideas of birth control or abortion. They are looking at the deeper aspect of the structure of man and they are looking at the illnesses that will follow in the progeny of man more so than the mere satisfaction of his pleasure and his physical nature at the present state of his need in his environment and the fear of the politician of overpopulation, and under nourishment and lack of education. 23 Man will never be in a state of lack of education, he will never reach the state of total over population, and he will never reach the state where he will destroy himself. Question from audience that can’t be understood. We have to take the words of the masters who have looked at the whole Cosmic Consciousness and see what is behind it and why it is not working out that way and why the ego and the mind would want it to work that way in order to satisfy the type of desires that are generated by the mind and the senses. The mind is involved in the pursuit of pleasure, in the pursuit of sensory stimulation, in the acquisition of material objects, in the release of pent up emotions at the expense of others. And finally, to attain that particular degree of recognition without effort. The mind is in pursuit of that all the time. Now, the mind is not interested if you are hurt to generate compassion unless it threatens the individual to some extent. satisfaction of the sensory nature first. The brain will deprive the body of nutrients to stay alive longer. The mind follows suit. The conscious mind is a good spokesman, but a lousy carry through. The subconscious mind will not allow him. The heart that pumps the blood will not allow the physical mechanism to interfere with the pumping to the heart. Yogis cannot slow down the heart if they are unethical. He has to obey the rules, the yamas and the ni-yamas. The conscious mind is played out on a string by the unconscious mind. The vital organs cannot take the strain of fulfilling the sensory nature. The subconscious mind dominates the conscious mind in terms of behavior. When the sperm blended with the ovum, that was subjective. The daddy did not know which sperm was going to make contact. The subconscious level is the survival power and nourishes the conscious level if it would listen to it. It is your subconscious mind that is dominating you from inside and meditation allows you to sense it. Sex release is in the conscious mind because of stimulation from the outer realm. The male body is stimulated by sight and the female body through sound. Pain and sex are opinions of the mind. After a certain point of pain intensity there is no more pain, the brain goes into a state of shock. You don’t feel anything when you are in state of shock, a state of apathy. The only difference between shock and cosmic consciousness is that the heart is not beating as slow as in cosmic consciousness. Cosmic consciousness is cosmic apathy, alive and enjoying it all. He can accept his apathy. In shock, you can’t accept your apathy. You are suddenly told that your actions were very, very cruel actions, but you don’t recognize them as cruel actions. You thought they were good actions, but they were degenerate actions. You are in shock, you can’t do nothing, semi paralysis. Shock is not a lasting effect, it is temporary and sublimates itself. You refuse to remember because of the pain, because you are afraid to face yourself. You are suffering for biological procrastination to face the shock. Your ability to handle it is not mature… Adano discusses the science of the book of Psalms. The Thanksgiving retreat will be on the science of the Psalms. Adano talks about the Psalm of Journey (104th). Use of Psalms in the birth of Jesus for a painless childbirth… The whole structure of the university is based on sound. The major cause of deterioration of the cells is sound. Air conditioning as a sound problem. Sound can build, sound can breakdown, the Walls of Jericho. Back to the male / female body, the discharge and contraceptive methods. Crippled people are the result of people wasting the vital fluids prior to marriage. The parents cause this problem. There is no such thing as fate, there is destiny / karma, but no fate. Karma, every actions has a reaction, the action must complete itself and some destination in time. It is a just law, what you sow, you reap. In marriage, the auras blend and correct the entity field and it comes into the body with a higher degree of understanding than before… Entities (Jinn as in Genie) can give powers in exchange for blood, use of the body, offsprings of the body, or discharges from the body. He can also challenge your life because you are using him as a slave. The story of Hazrat in the Autobiography of a Yogi. Solomon beat Osmodius by using Lucifuge Ruficale, the entity that gave Solomon wisdom in exchange for worshipping him after the 12th year. The elementals brought the gold up for the temple of Solomon, the 12th year Solomon pulled a switch on him by going into meditation and saying “no man worship Lucifuge Ruficale except god.” Solomon built a psychotron, two pyramids standing on each other, as the seal of Solomon. Solomon was trapped by lust, he had 363 wives. He married the maidens of the Perizods on his way up to Satch Kand. Perizod comes from the word Paradise, the nymphs that live around the gates of Paradise and drain the male body during the night through nocturnal emissions… The commune life is not new to the commune life, there are those who do nothing. The Pope saw this and took reincarnation out of their books, only the priests were allowed to have them, then the monks were the custodians of it, then only the Jesuits. They have the toughest disciples to crack you since they are designed as a military organization… Adano talks about initiate wedding vows that are designed to bring higher beings onto earth to bring other people out of their mental dilemmas and move backward to the oneness of the spirit.
Adano72_09_6HouseholderBodyofWomanQ1NW4 - 1:28 It has the realization that it is Soul in the end. See Man don’t have a Soul, he is Soul but he’s been programmed that he’s got to save it and in the process of trying to save it, he’s losing it, but in discovering that he is humanly the expression of the Divine Principle, he will discover his Soul and in the discovery of his Soul he will be a better being. He can’t be a better being if he’s trying to save something that he doesn’t have. Audience: How about eyes (inaudible)? Adano: The first thing between a male and a female is the transmission of one’s feeling through eyes. “The eyes are the windows of the Soul.” Now we telegraph by our eyes. You see you sit down in a room and you look around and what are you really telegraphing with your eyes to the female or to the male, “Do you see me? Do you see me? Recognize me? Where did I know you?” and actually you’re not conscious of your saying that. Subjectively you’re saying that because you are looking for a kinship with some individual in that room. You are looking for something that is an intimate bond because you are searching and reaching out for something that you can relate to. This kinship or intimacy is telegraphed by the eyes and once it’s picked up by the other individual and is telegraphed back by the eyes, the first expression on the face is a smile, you don’t know why, because you have telegraphed intimacy. Now not intimacy in terms of the sex act, intimacy in terms of being recognized or knowing that you are relating to each other and that you can trust now someone in that room who when you walked in were strangers to you, now you feel a sense of affinity with some individual in the room and before you know, that smile and then the gradual magnetic pull. 1:30 Audience: Is this intimacy being telegraphed based on past lifetimes? Adano: Yes, because you see life is in each one of us, the life energy is each one of us, it’s telegraphing. Now we say the eyes are the window of the Soul so we are Soul essentially, we don’t have a Soul. Now it’s very difficult for an individual to realize that he lived before because he doesn’t have a memory of it. You see memory is the gap, memory is the agony, memory is the thing we don’t want to die. We’re afraid to die because we lose our memory, we’re afraid we’re going to lose every identification with this physical world. Well let’s say for one moment you don’t lose your memory and you’re born with your total memory, then there is no agony, the only agony would be a loss of memory. Let’s say you’re born having total memory of who you are and what you are and whenever you’re ready to leave the frame you’re still carrying the memory, then there is no loss because what man is looking for God, he’s looking for the memory of his existence in God and having no such experience, seeks it in many techniques, even in drugs to get that experience to remind him of himself that he is identified in God, you see? Now if he gets the memory and memory doesn’t stop, then that’s the total awareness. 1:32 When we say we’re going back to God, what are we really saying to ourselves? We are trying to recapture the memory of having been identified with that source at one time because we feel some way along in the consciousness that we have strayed or dropped away from that source, that’s a memory. If ever you think that you were separated from the source or you dropped away from that source, it was only in terms of memory because you don’t have an actual relationship until you recall it or until you live through the experience… (end of tape).
Adano72_09_7HouseholderAdamandEveQ1NW4 - 1:08 Now Cain and Abel, these are two forces in this mechanism. Humility and egoism, these are the two forces locked up in man which are the offsprings of reason, logic, and feeling. Adam is logic and reason, Eve is feeling, therefore they have an offspring called now ego, his name is Cain and in counterbalance because ego is greater than humility, it’s called a child of God. God is a super-ego. Didn’t know that eh? Yes, you see Cain was called a child of God, the superego. God is the superego and the lower ego is Cain so Abel is humility. That is something that grovels in the dirt so Abel was someone who found to be of a lower nature that had to bow down in activity. Now these two forces are working inside. Ego will always try to destroy humility, will always try to make a foot-mat out of humility. Any person who is humble and doesn’t try to stand up and act in a passive way, you’ll always find an egotistical person trying to take advantage of them because they do not like to see passive, humble people, so the egotist will always try to bang their heads in or smash it in. So Cain is ego and Abel is humility. 1:10 Now Abel is struck out by the ego and once it’s struck out by the ego, now the human body takes on its particular dominant tendency. The dominant tendency of the male will appear because ego has struck out humility and the dominant tendency of the female may appear because Cain has struck out, or ego has struck out humility out of it. So when a male or a female appear as two distinct forms, ego is the primary cause to give them their distinctness. The male ego and the female ego gives their distinctness in form and sets them apart. Now this is what the psychiatrist is trying to tell you, you must hold onto. Hold onto your ego, inflate it up, pump it up like a balloon because it’s all you got, but the Saints don’t tell you that because the ego tries to fool itself by lulling the senses to sleep to experience pleasure. That’s why they say “Cain knew his wife in the land of Nod” and to know someone as we say this is, you can’t know them intellectually and if you use the word “know” to mean sexual, that is to indulge in pleasure. So the ego in man or woman dulls the senses which puts it in the form of sensory suspension to heighten or stimulate the feeling of pleasure and the pleasure comes on in that state. 1:12 So the individual begins to realize that his ego, that part of his nature that is dominating him, is marked once his humility has gone out of him. Now it says when Cain killed Abel the Lord says, “Vengeance is mine, no one kill Cain.” Well naturally, Adam is reason, Eve is feeling, Abel is humility, Cain is ego, which other force is dominant in the body now that can destroy ego? Greed can’t do it, anger can’t do it. If they try, they have a right, but they “dare not raise their hand.” Lust dare not raise his hand, neither love. “Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. I will deal with him.” I, the I AM, will deal with ego because “I AM that I AM” and the ego is only an I AM and it’s not the I AM, I AM. He’s got to learn who’s the real I AM and He’s going to deal with him and show him who is the big I AM in this whole shebang. So this is where the ego has to come to learn its lesson. “I will deal with him. No one lay a hand, not even Will. That means the Christ. Not even the Christ can lay a hand, that’s the Will because Will must submerge to My Will. Even the Christ has to say, “Thy will be done.” The I AM that I AM’s will must be done. It’s Sat Purush, the God-self. So even the Christ in itself cannot chastise. 1:14 But it is said, “The Lord has given the power unto the Son” to perform the action. That means the Will is empowered as a force within the body to make correction over all the dominant failures of this mechanism. Most of all over ego, which is Cain, because ego kills. Ego is self destructive and only Will as a dominant force can put it back in its place, but this permission to put it back in place must come from the I AM self. That’s why “unto the Son is given that power.” With the permission of the I AM, the will can then correct ego, but until that time the Will cannot even take upon Itself to chastise or correct ego. Audience: Does that mean that you cannot come to God Realization through humility? Adano: Wait a minute, wait a minute, humility was killed by ego. How is it going to atone, how is it come back? We will come to God by humility. Remember this, God accepted the sacrifice of humility over the sacrifice of ego. Cain is ego, Abel is humility, and Abel’s sacrifice was accepted. It does not say that man does not come to God by humility. Your ego can knock out your humility. 1:16 When it knocks it out, it finds out that is not the way to come to God by ego. You must come by the way of humility to God, but because ego has already done the damage of taking upon itself to dominate the lower functions of the body and assert its superiority over humility, Will could not take upon itself and correct it because Will is the next dominant force. Anger, lust, greed are not dominant forces over ego. You see? Will is a dominant force over ego, but he could not do it upon itself. Therefore it had to call upon the I AM-ness. The I AM-ness has to come in and says, “No one lay a hand.” In this whole hierarchy, no one of these functions there take upon themselves the law into their hands to punish ego. “I alone will punish ego” and He branded it. They said, “the mark of Cain was placed upon him apart to sort him out.” So the ego nature would now be recognized as a force to be dealt with from the I AM-ness, but the Will was then given the power by the I AM-ness to redeem the ego. By redeeming the ego, the ego would have to suffer the very same punishment which he administered to the brother humility. 1:18 He would be forced to come into the position of humility to be redeemed by Will because Will is a dominant force and if Will takes upon itself to be the ego force, backed up by the I AM-ness behind it, what power has ego got but to become humble? He’s put in the same role, he’s put to walk in the shoes of humility by Will backed up by I AM-ness, but before that if Will was to take the power into its own hand or take the law into its own hands and try to chastise ego, then Will is worse off than ego is. That’s why the I AM-ness says, “No one not even Will,” that’s the Christ-self, “dare not do it.” “I alone will deal it and I give the Will the power.” Now He gives the Will, He has to pass this mantle, this force, this transference. It’s only when the Will is in alliance with the Divine, then chastisement of the ego is a genuine punishment, a genuine correction. Therefore the ego will now learn through humility. Until that time it could not learn it, willpower will try to imitate ego. Therefore the Will will always say, “Thy will be done” but Thy Will is My Will in action. So the two are one for the first time, bringing ego down to its knees and thus making an egoless individual which is a very, very humble individual, but of the highest caliber. So once the ego is reduced to its true humility, then its way back to God is guaranteed. Do you see it now? 1:20 Audience: That’s why people after they first find Christ, they have a spiritual explosion, a psychological explosion, isn’t it? Adano: Alright, their ego is suddenly squelched. The Cain in them has suddenly turned around to become Abel because they have been exposed to Will allied with the I AM-ness, which is the Christ, allied with God. Their own inner nature has now been transmuted. Now they are brought into the garden to feast. With that divine quality, they partake of that new life. So Jesus says, “If I be lifted up, I draw all other men to Me.” If the Will be aligned with the I AM-ness, then ego, lust, greed, humility, and all these different forces will be all be transmuted and changed. Then we have a new being for the first time. So your Garden of Eden is the spiritual psychology and behavior of Man and as you understand it, you begin to see now that the Tree of Life is up in the head, the real brain, and the pseudo-brain is the Solar Plexus. So the Land of Nod, remember it’s sleep, sensory shutdown, which has to do with the ego. Ego goes in to a form of sleep like hypnosis to seek pleasure. Now you want to see how your mind tries to be pleasurable. What is the basic gestures of pleasure? Hmmm? The basic gesture of pleasure (Adano breathes in), you have to pull yourself in. 1:22 If you smell something, don’t you tend to go into a reverie state? Something similar to sleep. That means you want to shut out everything and go into a state of sleep to really experience the depth of it. So when you’re thinking deeply, you’re having a form of union and you’re having a form of pleasurable sensation. So the ego gets its highest pleasurable sensation in a pseudo form of sleep, “nod,” like if all the senses are now starting to heighten themselves by closing in. Audience: That’s so interesting, I’ve experienced that kind of pleasure and I see now why… Adano: But that pleasure… but it’s not something bad. Don’t go knocking it, it’s just because that’s the mechanics of it. Audience: We want to get rid of that, don’t we? Adano: You want to understand it to use it differently. You don’t want to use your ego to gain pleasure through sensory suspension. You want the ego to gain joy by transcending sensory suspension. That’s what meditation becomes now. One is joy and one is pleasure. Sensory pleasure, the ego can go into it and quiver. Joy is that transcendency where there are no guilt complexes, where there are no sensations of self-deterioration. 1:24 So by focusing at the point between the eyebrow, which is another form of nodding, but there’s a big difference between this type of nodding and the sensual nodding. Sensual nodding, or sensual sleep, eventually ends up as sleep. Meditation is a conscious nodding that which you put yourself in a conscious position to merge with the joy that will come to the body from the sensory nature after eight hours of sleep. The same pleasure that will come to the body, the same sensation of recharging that will come to the body, after eight hours of sleep by pleasurable shutdown in a state of nodding, in an unconscious way, this sensation now is heightened and rejuvenating and can come about in about ten minutes, five minutes. 1:25 That’s why Jesus says, “None come unto the Father but by Me” and “Come unto Me all ye that travail and are heavily laden and I will refresh you.” We must go now by the true door to shutdown the effect of the ego over our cells and revitalize our cells with the Divine Will allied with the I AM-ness in our cells, then we truly have not pleasure from the sensory nature in the form of pseudo sleep, but we have now true joy, true revitalization of the body by conscious suspension brought on by meditation. Therefore the Saint eventually lives in a fatigue-less state, He doesn’t care for sleep no more. Sleep is nodding like Cain going into the Land of Nod and knowing his wife, knowing pleasure, knowing his negative force field or his female force field, the pleasurable sensation of shutting down. Whereas now the ego is not doing that no more, it’s aligning itself with Will, you see, and then becoming joyful. 1:27 Audience: Well when you know something and seem to know it here, is this really still reason? Adano: In your solar plexus in the pit of your stomach they say, “I know something in the pit of my stomach.” That is a pseudo knowing. It’s not a real knowing. Audience: So it’s not intuition? Adano: It’s not intuition. Audience: You can meditate though for a long time where things are going on and you’re expecting in your mind that you should know that things are going on, but they’re going on and you don’t know, right? I mean some people have experiences right away of good feelings, all kinds of things, and other people it’s almost the reverse. Adano: Right. When you know there is a different feeling. At the solar plexus there is a feeling and slightly above the solar plexus, which is intuitive now, there’s a goose pimple sensation that crawls up your spine and raise the hairs of your neck and then you have your intuition. Have you had that type of experience now? That is your intuition now. That is knowing independent of the senses and that’s what they call “your feathers are being ruffled.” You see psychologist will say that you don’t have intuition, you have ruffled feathers, but that’s the energy going up now the spine like a goose pimple sensation and it triggers all the head area. 1:29 What is really happening the kundalini, or the coiled up life energy, is raised up for the first time from the base of the spine like a cold sensation rising up through the body, it’s the movement of the audible life current right up through the spine right through the chakras without interfering them and livening them or what they say vitalizing them so that as it passes through the spine the sense of trust, the sense of conviction, sense of service, sense of commitment, these are the functions of the chakras. These are the true functions of the chakras, not the psychic forces. The true functions of the chakras are the ethic nature. When the ethic nature is opened up in the chakra, that these functions now become predominant and from that heightened state of bliss, or heightened state of goose pimple sensation where we tingle all over, we begin to rely on these ethical qualities and we have formed now the true character of the nature of Man. It’s projected out now. Audience: How many chakras are there? Adano: There are nine, but we are only familiar with seven because these are the seven that predominate. The other two are subtle ones that we don’t have much use of except when we are in the astral realm, then they become active. Audience: Which ones govern the sense of service? Adano: The sense of service is governed by the heart. The pure in heart see God and God is devotional service in action, Seva, now S-A-V-I-O-U-R too. It’s not just S-E-V-A which is service. A real Saviour, or Messiah, renders the cosmic service by being God in the flesh among men. That’s why He’s called Emmanuel, God among men. 1:31 He is the divine service in action. He must take on the divine service and come down like the Avatara, that’s the divine service. He must come down as Master in the flesh, it’s God who takes on the word of saviour, S-A-V-I-O-U-R now, and renders Seva, S-E-V-A the divine service in action and that’s the heart chakra. Therefore the bells are always tolling for the Master and the disciple when he gets close to the Master, he knows that he’s on his way back home beyond any doubt as soon as he hears the bells. Until he doesn’t hear the bells, he’s still outside the perimeter of the vibratory nature of the lower senses. The moment he hears like a little clinking of the bells inside then he’s on his way back because then he’s no longer away from Master’s consciousness. The bell is the one you want to hear to tell you that you are… Now when Walt Disney made his picture called Fantasia he showed when the Angelus was ringing, when all the souls were going up at night to go away into the Grimoire that lived up in the dark mountains of the night lest they be all trapped by the Grimoire before sunlight came, little Angelus began to ring and they saw a heart and a door, (Adano sings the chant) “Door of my heart, open wide I keep for thee.” Yogananda sure screw up his brain. Walt Disney was a disciple of Yogananda, you see? (End of tape).
Adano72_09_8HouseholderQ1NW4 - 1:08 Jesus did not have any desire. There’s not a single thing that He did that is an indication of a miracle. Everything He did was a crystallization of human desire for those who had a desire. The very first crystallization was the desire of His mother for the relatives who were having a wedding and ran out of wine. Now they drank wine these people. He attended a wedding as a visitor, as a relative, and the mother had concern because the wine was run out, insufficient. She knows her son is in that state of awareness, she turns to Him and says, “There is no wine.” He said, “Woman what is that to me?” Indicating once and for all He has no desire. He does not even call her mother because God is Mother Nature in the world of manifestation and to call a woman “mother” if He’s a realized man would be a violation of the truth. So He had to put her in her place to find her true relationship in connection with the God-self. So He says to her, “Woman, my time has not yet come.” A Master who is functioning, or the Soul that is functioning from the Master Consciousness, does not violate the time-cycle lest it’s accountable to time-cycle and that fellow is a very very demanding individual, his name is Kal / Time. He’s very relentless, he wants every penny of the karma you use up and the life energy you use in this world of time. Some people call him Satan, but it’s the time-cycle in which the Master Consciousness is aware of the creative forces that are available to it and can use it. 1:10 So Master Jesus crystalized her desire by love. Out of the love for the woman, which is mother to Him, He emanate that thought pattern and cause it to crystalize through the time-cycle. The normal time-cycle to make wine would be X amount of years to grow the grape, X amount of years to harvest it, X amount of time to beat it into wine and ferment it, so that is time plus energy to bring an object into manifestation, the normal method of bring it into manifestation. Having the ability to crystalize thought at will now, which is the Christ Intelligence, He does not lack anything, He does not want anything, He does not need anything, therefore thought is speeded up now into the time-cycle. He’s capable of manifesting His thought at the speed of light squared, 186,000 miles per second squared, which is instantaneous because all matter is energy, all matter is atoms and all atoms is Spirit and all Spirit is Thought and all Thought is Love, and being a Master of the intuitive level, His whole being is love, everything you touch brings this love into crystallization, but He is a human being, He is that expression of the Divinity that has taken the flesh. “In the beginning is the Word,” the Audible Life Current, “and the Word was with God,” the Word is in consciousness of time, beyond time, “and the Word IS God,” the Audible Life Current is the eternal Now, God is the eternal principle, He’s not a man in a throne. 1:12 Yet the Word has to become flesh, crystalized into substance at a human level. The human-ness of the human body is the Divinity in matter and at the same time is the Spirit in motion and that’s why a Living Master is often referred to as God in flesh. That’s why you want to come in contact with that expression at times to recognize it, to understand Divinity in action. “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt in Man,” not the animal. The animal has a flesh body, but Man’s body is flesh. It’s the only substance that will hold back on this side of the wall the flesh, the five elements of the universe that are in conflict and on the other side of the wall, in unity. When you look at your body you are looking at the temple of the Creative Force, a manifestation of Spirit, and you don’t have to save your Soul because you’re Soul, you have to accept it, but you have to accept the same time the humility of being Spirit which is a hard thing to do because the Ego is striving, definitely and desperately, to impress by the psychic abilities that it is empowered with. Only at the Master level the capacity to crystalize thought is entrusted providing the physical frame has accepted the ethical laws of living. You can’t be entrusted with such a power if you’re unethical, you would make a havoc of the universe. It takes a great deal of spirituality to be ethical, to prevent people from destroying themselves by the misuse of spiritual forces. 1:14 So when a Master is desire-less He has achieved the ethical nature where He is not influenced now by any physical desire let alone the attempt to force His will upon His society to make them accept divinity. The nature of Christ in Man is that ability to materialize thoughts at will, not the man Jesus, all Men have the Christ in themselves, “The things I do you shall do also and greater things you shall do.” You can only do the things that the Christ allows you to do within yourself and you will only do greater things according to the period and the time-cycle that you live in. Now if Master Jesus was to return back in the physical frame, you would not recognize Him. In the first place you would not even accept Him because we are already turned off to the long beard, the long hair, and sandals and the beads. So what would He come back in that type of a dress to impress us with? Now if He come back in the Ivy League suit you can’t accept Him either. If He comes in a spacesuit, you can’t accept Him either. So crying for the second coming of Christ, what are you crying for? Some individual that may come “beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,” here I am Jesus Christ. You got the wrong impression of what the thing is all about. 1:16 Masters are always in the world. There is never a moment that a Self-realized or a God-realized Man is not in the world. They have always been, will always be, as long as we exist from the dawn of creation to the return of creation back into itself. There will always be God-realized Men, but to understand God-realized Men, we have to understand them on a human level and that is very difficult because we have desires and they don’t have desires. We think we have to save our souls, they tell us we are souls because they know they are souls. They tell us “Don’t try to save it, try to express it.” We can’t accept that because pain and suffering is too great in our lives. They show us they will take any pain and suffering and rise above it. So soul is that true Being-ness and in its nature and in its magnitude is love in action. If we go through all the various desire forms that have been crystalized by the Master’s consciousness we will see there are no miracles, but there is a law on the line, the crystallization of thought. God does not work in miracles, He works by laws, the Creative Intelligence works by laws and these laws are all locked up in us. We don’t invent them, we simply come to relate ourselves to them and release them. 1:18 There is a law working inside of us and it’s the Law of Light. This whole universe is a congealed form of light. It’s built like a hologram, one cosmic laser beam, a three dimensional expression of mass. Therefore we are crystalized in the laser beam of light and we have our mass or three dimensional experience, but we live in nine dimensions. We can only seem to utilize a few of the dimensions because we don’t understand what a dimension is as yet. We know of length, breadth, and depth, we call that the three dimensional world, but these are in terms of using the ruler as a device to measure length, breadth, and depth. We also live in the universe of motion while we are in length, breadth, and depth and that motion is called time and the only way you measure time is by another ruler, it’s called a watch. You are watching the motion of the earth in relation to another heavenly mass and therefore relating the measurement as time between light and shadow or light and darkness. There is no time, there is motion, but the motion gives the illusion of time necessary for counting, necessary for action, necessary for relating. 1:20 Now there is no space either.

Adano73_05_14SatsangWashingtonDCQ4NW1 - Adano explains how he met Yogananda but not in the body. First part of meditation is self observation in the flow. We live by vital life power, not breath. The function of breathing is secondary relationship and if a Yogi is conscious of this relationship, he can (inaudible) the track in the mind from being stuck in the rut of unnecessary thought patterns that seem to persist and don’t get out. Oxygen is an atomic principle, but it is insufficient for life, it’s the subatomic particles that sustain us. Electrons, lifetrons, and thought-trons. Man is a thought of God, part of the super subatomic field. The brain can trigger lifetrons to generate desire, sensory stimuli in terms of electromagnetic reaction. The brain triggers subatomic forms of the oxygen, the lifetron, and it will group / mold itself. Thought-trons are the actual force field that triggered the lifetrons which seem to have a will / pattern of its own. It follows a plan of its own, to maintain certain geometrical shapes. God has a plan because these super subatomic forms are adhering to some prearranged magnetic frequencies. Jung archetypes and how they relate to the breath. God as oxygen. God is Spirit, Spirit is Energy, oxygen is a gas, when you explode an atomic charge you get energy. So energy in a state of motion in three levels: purpose, preservative, and formative. Purpose = thoughts, preservative or continuative = life, and formative = electron / shape / design. Adano explains the mind as waves, water, and it’s different states.
Adano73_05MarriageRetreatQ2NW4 -
Adano73_09_01SimranNutritionChantsMeditationQ2 - Mind wandering is one of the basis of ineffective meditation. When the mind keeps wandering, it wants to go back outside. It can’t stay inside. The only way you can keep this mind steady and go back inside and keep it centered is doing that Simran, repeating that holy name, hallowing it, hallowing the name of the lord all the time. You get the mind centered, there is no other way, no other technique works sufficiently enough to keep the mind centered. Now, we can talk of it, hear about it, try a little bit everyday, you know, normal routine of living, but until we get into a session, like a retreat where it is hammered in every second, how much you can really get this mind to center itself, you cannot break that pattern. It will stay for you with years of mental drifting. It will always be there until you hammer at it. It is like trying to dig a hole through a rock wall with a nail, but this is exactly what is happening. Your mind is in levels, it offers tremendous resistance to any attempt to harness it or direct it. The five forces tug at you (earth, air, water, fire, and ether). Outside the skin they are in constant conflict. Inside the skin, they are forced to work in unison by the creative life principle which is audible life current, an ultrasonic frequency, the sound current that holds these forces like a rein. The will, your self being, centers with this audible current is the rider, that’s your conscience, not your consciousness. You can’t use consciousness to harness this power, you have to use the conscience to harness this power. So when you are meditating, you are taking your conscience into control to harness and hold the consciousness that is pulling that is under the sway of these five forces. You are result of these five forces. You are the audible life energy. Every form of label is only a mental relationship, it is not the real you. You call yourself man, yellow, black, etc. these are all labeling this vital energy which is you. But you can’t harness this energy until you can synchronize by pulling that conscience and by hammering it in with that sound. Therefore when you repeat the name, you are pulling it together because it is god itself. Sound waves are the key to harnessing life energy. God is not light, God is sound. His light is the result of his conscience focusing out. He is the audible sound. You have to hear it, feel it, and become identified with it. The holy names don’t have power by themselves. They gain their power from the very first individual who incorporates his being into that word. When he becomes realized, he can impart that energy into another being. These words now gain power. Then they repeat those words on that jet stream. There is a whole length of people, way ahead of you, who have surrendered their lives into that stream of energy and are acting as one. When you are meditating, you are pulling this whole stream in, it is like a tunnel and you are drawn into it and it starts pulling in. So you have all that ahead of you working for you… You have to break this ego pattern by the use of these words in your consciousness over and over until it becomes a working movement in your bloodstream. It needs to go on without effort. The lord is not going to show himself until you prove that you are willing to surrender every form of attachment to the outside world for this particular alignment. It is a very tough road, but it is the only natural road there is. Until we do it, we cannot gain self realization and when we synchronize with it, god realization. Birth is a gift. It ties the soul to the human body through he mind, at eye level. Nutrition is the basis of spirituality. Earthy nature foods = earth bound in the lower regions of the body. Watery nature = Also, procreative nature of the body. Fiery nature = intestinal area of the body. Airy foods = Chest of the body. Etheric foods = stay in the brain of the body. Nature designed us as a spiritual being. The highest food is fruit. It carries an alkaline base which is important for balance. 80% alkalinity / 20% acid. Too much acidity = disease. Difficult to be over alkaline, but very easy to become over acid… 12 Five rivers flowing from divine life are ether, air, fire, water, earth. The main one is ether, drawing beyond the desire level, repeating the name goes beyond desire. There is no other way the mind of man working through the brain would be capable of going beyond desire. That is why the holy name can break these desire patterns. Anything of value worth having requires a great deal of devotion and effort, don’t be fooled by its simplicity. The real test is to go through the process more and more and see how the mind is drawing you into the undercurrents of your nature. The ego is like a divine octopus, when you cut off one tentacle, 10 grow back. With one eye (“I”), you have to bear down on that “I” to knock it out. You have to have another word to knock out the importance of the “I.” So hallowing the name of the Lord diminishes the control of the “I-ness” allowing you to have control. Meditation is not to inflate the consciousness, but to center on the conscience. The conscience knows and reacts and responds. Until these are lined up, you will have constant conflict inside. Nutrition is very important, it discharges the body, it generates / charges the body, and it recharges the body. The highest quality is the fruit bordering on light and water, recharging. Charging foods are taken from the vine and cooked / spiced, it charges, but does not regenerate. 20 You have to slowly work at it to make the changes. With nutrition, you must have corrective mechanical movement / postures. Right posture keeps the consciousness at the eye level and opens the consciousness and prevents gases from accumulating. Boredom is the first indication of incorrect posture in meditation, they increase after awhile. The third condition is the stiffness, here to need massage. This is due to the accumulation of gases in certain areas. Disease is the result of breaking the natural law of karma which designed this body. The spiritual life is purification of the physical frame that has been clogged up by wrong thought pattern, nutritional patterns, and wrong contact patterns. These movements tend to block the energy… 0:28 Consciousness is your awareness through your five senses to relate to the environ which you live in. Conscience is the Beingness of your nature in which you have to live all the time with. Now you can have mental tug of war in making decisions with your mind, but if you’re gonna make a final decision to act it, it’s your conscience that will make that decision and not your consciousness. If you have to make a choice by your consciousness, you will start to debate with yourself, “should I or should I not?” That dualistic condition exists in your consciousness and by virtue of past experience, your conscience will make the final decision for you to act and whenever you act it out whatever happens from that action, that is what you got to live with. That’s the sum total of you, not your consciousness, but your conscience because you will have to carry the memory of it and there is where you made the decision from, it’s made from the decision of a memory pattern, you see. Your conscience is your memory patterns locked up already and because you never hear the words “guilty consciousness,” “guilty conscience.” You are suffering with a guilty what? Conscience, not a consciousness. You see the consciousness can never be guilty, consciousness is a dualistic movement in us, allowing us to make a choice, but whenever we make the choice in the final action of allowing the body to experience, this is determined by conscience. 0:30 Your conscience made you do it now, “this goes against my conscience,” it does not go against my consciousness because you have to act it and when you act it you are releasing the energy which comes from the conscience because the conscience is the harness, it’s the operator of the audible life energy in you, not the consciousness. The consciousness is merely the carriage, but the actual leverage, the actual power that is pulling, the actual controlling principle in you that is really you, is conscience. So when we say we are trying to contact God or realize God in ourselves, we’re actually trying to live with our conscience. We’re not living with our consciousness you see. Consciousness is the field, it’s the ground in which all things take place, but when the action occurs, it’s in your conscience that you have to live with. So conscience is Beingness and consciousness is awareness. It’s a vast difference between the two. Now consciousness is a stepping stone to Beingness, you need consciousness to recognize your Beingness, but any decision to act and release life into motion through this mechanism, that is determined by conscience. 35 Making butter with a golden versus a wooden spoon, no difference. It is the repetition that is important. Gentle, effortless movement is the key, repeating the holy name with a slow constantly. In a moment, that whole cream will turn to butter, the mind wandering will stabilize. The gentle gradual action of doing it. That is what devotion is. Centering the mind to the natural gradual process of repetition. Doing it with love, knowing that you are talking to the lord inside of you. This gradual entreatment is the devotion… 40 Love is constancy, it is neutral, not negative or positive. Our of my love came forth a universe / pull back the universe into myself… Love has no conditions, it is pure / unconditional / withdrawn / detached. It is not cold or oppressive. Affection has conditions… We must make contact with the projection to get back to the neutral state, the Christ state in creation, not the man Jesus. The only begotten son, the only manifested expression of it. None come unto the father, but by me. You cannot be for me and be for mammon. You can’t want the god self and still crave for the physical self… 45 It says to love your neighbor as yourself, you have to know yourself first, to be realized in god first. That has no condition… The realized man is the man who knows himself. 50 You can create a new holy name, but you have to live a whole life experience to give power to that thing. “Thou art my life” chant was composed by a man who spent his entire life chanting that from the moment he woke up to the moment he died. Not a single thing else. 53 (Gap in tape for meditation) Chanting Om. 1:01 Chanting “In all pervading silence, he whispers I am here…” 1:05 Chants “So do thou my lord, thou and I never apart, wave of the sea dissolve in the sea. I am the bubble make me the sea.” 1:13 The only way you can hold the mind to do hours of meditation through which the soul can be experienced, it by hallowing the name. There is no other technique superior than hallowing the name. Identifying your life stream with it. The purpose of connecting the soul with god through the radiant form of the master is what meditation is involved… Emphasizing prayer unceasingly, simran, it is that consistency of the consciousness to break the shell of the ego. It can’t get into that state until it surrenders… Our ego is so strong, it thinks it has the answers to the spirit. If it did, we would all be god realized. That is why we keep searching for different schools of meaning. The word is not important, it is the repetition. 1:20 It is based on the principle of repeating until you become identified with the audible life current which is what our consciousness is based on also… We don’t even know what the devil or god is. The mind keeps playing games with itself, searching for identity, but when it settles down and becomes one with the consistent devotion that is going on in it. Then that mind experiences self realization, not god realization. There is a vast difference between self and god realization. Self realization brings you to the point of aligning your brain with that energy in the form of a sound and when you hear it, you begin to lose your ego / self personality. You feel oneness. God realization is beyond that. We have to start to travel up the levels of consciousness from self realization to god realization (the fifth level). No one can go into that fifth level by himself. The soul, by its own nature, has the brilliance of 12 suns. If it does not attach itself to any desire, it can only get to 13 suns. But this is not enough to get past the darkness of the fourth level into the universal sound field which is all ultrasonic waves. The the lord of creation keeps it there. It takes a realized soul with the brilliance of 24 suns that comes down from the highest level to the fourth level to open the way for the soul to perceive this brilliance and walk through this field of pure sound waves to bring that soul up. You can only get there through simran / hallowing the name. This is the only key that can get us past that level. The only way we can trust these saints is by doing it. You have to beat the cream, slowly methodically, to get it to become cream. The paddle is the mantra, it means nothing. It is the consistency of turning, the repetition of the motion, that creates the result. A certain amount of repetitions make it change. Equally true for the human brain, it has to have the constant impingement hammering away inside to bring it to that point of crystallization. Once you have experienced that breakthrough, you have experienced self realization.
Adano73_09_02_1MeditationNutritionPrayerQ2 - Consciousness aligned with conscience, Simran / Japa as consistent repetition of vibration, doing Simran with love vs. mechanically, master teaching Simran and Bajan only, seven charkas of the human body (sound, light, ether, air, fire, liquid, matter), Guru Nanak and the Hindus / Moslems, food important to meditation. 0:48 Free will is an illusive condition, it’s only something that the mind is working with. Now we are forced to realize through our meditation the humility of the spiritual life. “He that do the will of the Lord is my brother,” that’s humility already. “He that followeth in my words is my disciple,” that’s humility. So this shows us we have no free will but we entertain the thought and we struggle to exert some initiative in our affairs but this is all karmic. The affairs of our lives are already setup for us to work it out and in spite of our good intentions, we are pushed along towards destiny by the love of God to face it and we will make it in spite of ourselves. This is another interesting law about the life. We may think we will not make it and we will get into all states of frenzy yet in spite of ourselves, in spite of our ego nature, our personality make-up, we will get to that particular level of experience designed for us, destined for us, by Divine Will. Even Master Jesus knew this when He said, “Father remove this cup but not my will by Thy will be done.” My will is the ego will of the flesh, body, craving to block out the experience, but Divine Will is the confrontation, the actual living out of the experience. We can presuppose many things in our minds but not until we live it and go through it do we realize that it’s all law, all Divine Principle, it’s all set to happen that way. 0:50 Now once it’s finished and happen, it may not be to your liking and you may say to yourself, “I wish it turn out different,” but if it was going to turn out different, you would have had it, and since it didn’t turn out different, you don’t have it. So the mind plays this game, “If I had a second chance I would have done better.” Given a second chance, it may not do better, it might do exactly the same thing. There’s a story in the East, it says a certain man was carrying a bag on his back, it’s very heavy and he came to the temple of Shiva and he said to Lord Shiva, “Why do I have to carry such a big burden on my back? I would sure like to carry a smaller bag.” So the statue in the temple spoke and said to him, “Before my feet there are many bags of various sizes, pickup the one you think you can carry and it’s yours.” So that made the man very happy, he put down the bag that he was carrying and began looking around. So he picked up the smallest one but he couldn’t lift it off the ground. He went to the next smallest, bigger than that, he couldn’t lift that and after about an hour trying each bag, he finally end up picking up his own bag. It was the only bag he could pick up. So he said, “How is that?” Then the statue said, “You see, your burden was already weighed out for you according to your shape and your form and all your conditions. So now carry it and don’t argue.” 0:52 Our life patterns are already programmed in by this recorder, the architect, the designer programmed the circuitry before it was put together and that’s the uniqueness of the Divine Principle. Our mechanism, our karmic relationships, are all setup from the past life and they’re merely put together in the process of the pregnancy in the mother’s womb and the realization comes out and now we have to live it but we don’t know what we program in and this is the constant surprise. If we knew what we had program into this body before we came in, we would not do anything. Since we don’t know, this is what surprises us and if we knew what to do before we came in, carried the memory with us, we will sit down and just be happy knowing that everything will fall into place then what would happen? People would get bored with you because you know it all. So in spite of knowing it all, you can’t please anybody and in fact that you don’t know it all, you still can’t please yourself and anybody. So the principle is surprise, the art of learning to live with the constant surprise. If you knew it all, you wouldn’t do anything, you sit there just knowing it’s going to happen and that’s it and then after awhile you become a freak and since you don’t know it, what’s gonna happen, this is the surprise, this is the challenge, this is the anguish, but this is the joy at the same time because when it does happen, you are joyful, it could be worse in your mind. You see it could always turn out worse, but since it didn’t turn out worse you’re happy. That is the whole essence of the existence. The Divine Law puts us in that position to learn that lesson. 0:55 Meditation is to help us to stabilize our cells so that we can live moment to moment without the anguish, without the tension, without the insecurities and the fears, and the only real security we have in this physical frame that is made up of five elements… is Love. That’s the only security you have. Loving the Lord, the Audible Life Current with all of your mind, with all of your strength, with your whole being and soul and your heart. That’s all you really have, that’s all everybody has, but this is not what everybody wants and this is not what everybody is expecting to hear simply because the mind is looking for something tangible in this physical world as a sort of an anchorage to identify with it and since there is nothing in this physical world that is tangible to identify with, the mind does not wander, the mind feels cheated so it searches and searches, it even searches for human form and what does the human form says? “The Father in me doeth everything, I of myself cannot do anything.” The form itself tells us, don’t rely on it, rely on the God in you, rely on the Love inside, rely on the Spirit, learn to rely on the intangible force within yourself, learn to place more emphasis on that, put more trust in that force. 0:57 The mind wants something to relate to, what that force should look like, and the only thing that we have that the mind could be satisfied with is a Saint, a Spiritual Teacher. He is supposed to be the embodiment of that love and that is what the mind is searching for, but even the teacher will tell us, “Call no man Master save the Lord which is in you.” Learn to realize your own God-self, learn to master yourself, learn to experience your own God Realization, make the attempt to realize that. So meditation is a direct contact between you and the God-self, between that restless state and the state of peace and tranquility. All things are working through you by that grace and once you realize it, it falls in place. The only reason why we can’t seem to get along with it is that we are impatient. If we knew the exact timing of how each thing would fall into place mathematically before it does happen, we never do anything, but because we don’t know the exact timing, how it mathematically falls into place, the surprise element is what makes us reach out and this is what gives us the strength, it gives us the love, it gives us the devotion, it keeps us humble. The humbleness, the humility is the anticipation, the not knowing. 0:59 Jesus put it another way, He says, “Meekly wait and don’t murmur.” Don’t grumble, be patient, wait, watch, listen, feel, this is the hardest attitude to develop, but meditation is the only process you have and the only way you can make it work is by hallowing the Name inside, repeating the Name inside, and listening to the Sound Currents and seeing the Light and this puts you in the attentive mood, it puts you in the receptive mood, and it allows you to become patient for the first time. Patience is not an easy process to develop, it carries a great deal of frustration with it, a great deal of anxieties, a great deal of disappointments, but because these challenges exist this is what makes patience a real experience. Otherwise patience would be a unreal experience, it would be imaginative because we go through these traumatic conditions in our lives, patience become a real thing. After awhile you find that you can handle situations over and over of the same nature much more calmly than you did before when you first encountered them and this is the process that is being applied. The process is to discover how patient you can be by constantly putting you to the test, putting you under the exposure of it. When you think you’re going fine and there’s nothing to oppose your mind, that’s the time you’re going to be tested and that’s the time when the process is going to work. That particular condition is going to come there to test you. 1:01 Now ten months ago that same thing might be there and you may flare up, ten months after that same condition comes back you don’t flare up. You begin to seem to have more self control over the situation. You take it with much more ease, this is the patience, this is the growth, this is the reality, and everyday you will discover that that’s what you’re getting stronger in and nothing else. You’re getting stronger in the ability to handle shock, to handle confrontation, to live with confrontation, to grow with confrontation, and that is patience and that is the faith, that is the confidence that this life principle that sustains you is flowing through you for the first time and you will have the confidence in it that things will work out. Now we can give the credit to many things, but the credit still goes back to the Divine Self, that higher nature that works in everything, that’s where the final credit goes to. When we surrender to it and we accept it, it flows through us without interruption. The experience brings us joy, it brings us harmony, and the only way we can vouch for it we gotta live it. We can’t say it by reading it because we wouldn’t know what it is to feel it, but when we feel it and live it, then we can vouch for it, and by living it you can pass it or transfer it to another person who is searching for it. Each one of us is giving a portion of his faith or confidence or certitude of life to another by living it. 1:03 When they ask for it they can feel it, they can experience it, they can recognize it and this is what you’re really getting down to, you’re getting down to your conscience, how to live with your conscience, not you consciousness. Your consciousness plays games with you all the time, every dualistic movement is in your consciousness, but your conscience is the only thing that you can fall back on and really feel secure and that state of security is humility, you conscience makes you humble all the time. Whenever you confront your conscience, you are forced to be humble and in meditation exposes this within you pretty fast. You got doubts about your humility? Confront your conscience, you learn how fast it works. Path of the Masters is very simple, it’s based on action, it’s not based on writing, it’s not based on reading or talking, it’s based on action and the journey begins here at the point above the eyes, at the eye center, of watching, hallowing the Name, and listening to the Sound Current. The Sound Currents are ultrasonic and the light inside carries the radiant form of the Masters. 1:05 That radiant form of that Divine Self is inside and you have to see it, you can’t imagine it, it’s there, it exists in spite of ourselves that we don’t even know it exists, it’s there and the only proof we have is to experience it. Like somebody telling you what a mango tastes like, but until you put a piece of mango in your mouth you would never know what a mango tastes like. Equally true until you see the radiant form inside, you would not know what the radiant form really is all about. Equally when you read the term, “When two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst” but until you can see that radiant form, it doesn’t mean a single thing to you. The radiant form of a Master or Saint is the evidence you have of your meditative life and you have to work to see it, you have to work to hear that Sound Current and the evidence comes from effort. 1:07 Audience: (inaudible) Adano: Nature has designed fruits to be eaten all times of the day. Audience: Different fruits at different times of the day? Adano: Yes she has provided fruits for every period of the day. In the morning she has provided fruits that grow on the trees and in the middle of the day, she’s provided fruits that grow on the vine, on the ground. Well let’s give an example, on the trees you have your apples, your pears, your peaches and so forth and you have your citrus fruits, and in the middle of the day you have all your melons, your cantaloupes, your berries and strawberries, at evening time she provides you the cactus family, pineapple. So by her own design and by the way she grows them in that design, she has already setup your pattern of spirituality for you by making you a fruitarian. Audience: Where do you get your protein from? Adano: Protein is in the air. Audience: Where? Adano: Protein is in the air. The highest protein you have is in the fruit nut. The nut itself has the highest protein. Excuse me for a second. (Gap in tape). Nuts provide you the protein you need and they’re in the air and your seeds provide you the protein again. You’ll notice that protein is the building block of the body and the archetypal nature of the Creator places the pattern in the building block so the building block carries the pattern that builds your body so the building block of the plant is in the seed. So the nut would be the ideal location and source of protein and if you were to eat from the three periods of the day the very same seeds and nuts, you would have all the protein you need. 1:09 Now the animal gets the protein from eating the plant life and incorporates it into his own body and synthesizes it for his own use and we turn around and eat the animal to get his protein which is second hand protein. What we are actually eating from the animal is the amino acids that are necessary for the body which are all brought together by his ingestion process. Now he eats one type of food to produce this whole process. We have to eat in the three periods of the day the various types of protein to make this ingestion process bring out all the amino acids and we can get all of them from the three periods of the day: fruits up in the trees high off the ground, those on the surface, and those under. They are brought together for the first time in the human body and they are ingested and they have the amino acids. So we are getting our amino acids and protein in the three periods of the day from the three types of food. Audience: Could you live on fruits more? Adano: Yes you can live on fruits eventually but do not advocate this at the start of your spiritual growth. We have committed a karma a long time ago by being involved in the earth process, in the water process, in the fire process, in the air process, and the ether process. Let alone you have violated the sound process and the light process so you have seven karmas to work out and you just can’t up and change over and master all these karmas because these are where your karmas come from, they come from the violation of these seven forces. We are freed from the five at the point of the eyebrow when we keep our minds here, we help to diminish the pull of them and so we live on the light and the sound and that helps us to work out and cancel out the commitments to the five of earth, water, fire, air, ether. 1:11 Now plants utilize water and the earth, the birds utilize water, earth, and fire, seafood they also utilize the earth, water, and the fire, and the birds also utilize the air because they fly. Animals utilize the air because they walk around and breathe with their lungs. Only Man utilizes ether, that is the conscious wavelengths of his consciousness and Man at one time was a canibal, therefore he violated that too by eating his fellow man. He ate the ether, he broke the ether laws. Now we come to the point, he’s got to make compensation. Man has to make compensation for all those laws that he broke at one time and therefore he’s forced to go back through the process of elimination. Now we go up gradually by the elimination of certain types of food from our dietary patterns until we are competent to handle those of a higher nature. 1:13 Since we’ve been eating flesh products over the years and we’re brought up into a society where it’s predominant, we have to slowly rid ourselves of that. We can’t do it overnight, we have to make the adjustments and we begin with quantity, then type. In that way we are ridding the system of the poisons and the toxins that are being built up in the body from the wrong eating and we will find that a famous quotation will come to us from the scriptures that say, “It’s not what you eat that defiles you but what comes out of you will defile you.” This has nothing to do with nutrition, it has to do with consciousness. We eat water, fire, earth, air, ether, the very five forces that constitute our mechanism, but what comes out of us is ether all the time, thought energy that is misapplied in the form of language, it’s coming out from the sound currents. If you wanna say something to somebody, you still have to use the etheric energy, you still have to draw from the sound waves and that’s the audible life current. Therefore every word that we utter is a expended energy from the audible life current to which we are accounted for. Therefore we are then liable for the manifestation of our thoughts. Our friend there went towards California not too long ago he’s sitting there in the back, Mr. Kimlico, and he’s often heard me talk about the power of words and he had some experiences to see what really words do in human lives versus what people eat. Frank you’d like to relate a little story to them? 1:15 Story about words manifesting, protein and amino acids (meat vs. vegetables), Cayce and anti cancer foods

Adano73_10_25SatGuruQ2 -
Adano73_10_26RocklandMassQ2 - And the oneness with the spirit you have to hear it because it’s the audible life stream within the body. The mind wanders all the time. The mind thinks in its own level that it knows and it can assume and recognize what God is and the mind tries to describe to itself what it feels God can be from its own outward education and from its outward acceptance of life, but that’s dualistic. That is the phenomenal part of the mind. That is the conscious part that is functioning, that’s your consciousness. It’s only your conscience, which is the realistic part of you, the real part of you, the survival part of you, the part that continues from life form to life form, gathering experiences. That part stays in the background observing the masquerade of the consciousness, observing how the consciousness is going through all types of evasion and questions and answers. Eventually that conscience comes to the decision, there really is nothing out there or inside. It’s a peculiar game, how this conscience comes to this decision because we don’t see anything, we don’t hear anything, and nothing dramatic has happened. So right away, the conscience suddenly gives the impression to the consciousness, “See, you’re wasting your time, there’s really nothing here but me, conscience.” How many of us have not arrived at that state or have arrived at that state? Most of us have arrived at that state, but that’s where the journey really begins because when you break through that level by trusting the conscience to be receptive and let loose, turn loose this inner peace, then we begin to get the inner experience of the life principal flowing within us and the first experience we do have is the disassociation of the body and the sense of oneness with the spirit. When this comes, we can’t live with the experience because we usually see ourselves inside of ourselves and outside of ourselves and that’s a shock to the brain that God has become you. This life principal has become you. Therefore it recedes from that level and comes down back to the consciousness level and tries to pickup activity as a means of survival, as a means of importance. It tends to relate to the outside world because the inside world doesn’t go any further than the oneness of the spirit. The outside world seems to be more attractive. The craving and the desire nature to expend energy has been important. Its importance is only temporary in terms of our breathing, in terms of our commitments and our responsibilities, but that’s where we get our so called “ego drive” because we feel that we got to be doing something outside in order to make waves in the ocean of life and then we will become important individuals and we stand out like a sore thumb in society, either we are accepted or rejected by it. We live with the illusion that action on the outside is realization. Action on the outside is not realization. Action on the outside is merely fulfilling desires for lack of comprehension which your conscience and your consciousness.

Easter Chants Part 2
Adano74_2EasterChantsQ1NW4 - Chants and explanations: Listen to My Heart Song, Om Namo, Hey Bhagavan, Only Thou, I Will Be Thine Always. 1:05 A merchant who was returning home from a business trip and when he got off the train, a porter met him and offered to carry his baggage. The merchant did not want to hire the man, but the man said, “I have two prices.” That made the merchant very interested. “One price is three dollars and I don’t talk to you about God. My second price is one dollar, but I have the privilege to talk to you about God. Pick your choice.” The merchant being a businessman had nothing to lose. He was visiting his franchises and was very happy and this was a bargain, one dollar he can afford to hear somebody talk about God. He said, “Ok, here’s a dollar, talk as long as you want.” So the porter says, “You know in a strange way I have been blessed to see a little into the future and tomorrow at twelve o’clock, you know your time to go over from this realm into the next will be occurring so you’re going to pass over. That is you’re going to die. In the event if you do pass over, the angel of death will come to you as he always does to every soul that passes over from this realm and ask you the eternal question.” 1:07 So the merchant listens, “Well, prattlings of an erratic individual, poverty stricken, not much to eat, naturally he can talk like that.” And the merchant had just had a medical checkup and knows that nothing is wrong with him, everything is ok, business is good, he could afford to listen some more. So he was smiling to himself and listening to the porter. Finally the porter said, “When the angel of death asks you the eternal question do me a favor.” So the merchant said, “What eternal question?” “The eternal question is: do you want your good karma first or your bad karma first? And the favor I would ask you is this: tell the angel of death you want your bad karma last and your good karma first.” The merchant says, “Alright, I’ll humor the man.” He says, “Normally you know that’s not what we usually ask the Angel of Death after he put the question to us. We usually say we would like to get the bad karma over first and then look forward to the good one so when we come back next time, we carry our good karma.” He said, “Well do me the favor, ask for your good one first and then take then bad one last.” 1:09 So the merchant smiled and humored the man, give him the dollar and went his way. Next day exactly at twelve o’clock in his office right on the phone keels over and dies and for sure the Angel of Death appears to him and Yama said to him, that’s the name of the Angel of Death, “Which you prefer, your bad karma first or your good karma first?” The merchant merely remembered what the porter had said to him and decided, “Well I’m a gambler anyhow, what have I got to lose, I’m over here now. I want my good karma first.” The Angel of Death says, “What?!” “Yeah I want my good karma first.” “Nonsense.” He says, “Wait a minute.” So he looked up the files, the Akashic records, he says, “I don’t see no such thing, good karma, every page is bad karma.” Finally the end of the record is one little jot, “You’re entitled, this is what the good karma says, to ten minutes Satsang in the presence of a Saint. That’s all you’re entitled to so you’re gonna to get your ten minutes right now.” 1:11 The merchant said, “Wait a minute, where did I meet a Saint in my human body for ten minutes that I warrant to see Him on this realm as my good karma? I can accept my bad karma, but I don’t know where I warrant seeing a Saint for ten minutes.” He says, “Yeah, you will see Him, I will take you there. You’re dead now, there’s no way you can go back.” So he took the merchant into the inner realms and while they’re going in the inner realms the various levels, he came to a door he said, “You can go in there for ten minutes. I cannot go in, but when the time come and I signal you, you have to come out and then we will go to face your bad karma.” Merchant can’t argue because that’s the contract, that’s the condition. So he went into the light, but he found he could not work into the light further than four feet, that is as far as he could get into the light, four feet. In the midst of the light at four feet he saw a cloud and he saw lots of faces and in the middle of the crowd he saw a man sitting giving a discourse and he kept looking. Suddenly he recognized the man, it was the porter that he met yesterday or the day before he died. 1:13 So he kept listening to the porter talking on God, just then ten minutes up and the Angel of Death signalled for the merchant to come out to go face his karma. So the merchant gets up to go out of the Satsang and when he did that the head of the Satsang said, “No one leave my Satsang, you sit down where you are till it’s over!” So the merchant look at the Angel of Death and the Angel of Death says, “Come on this can’t be, you gotta come out, I can’t come in but you gotta come out.” And he’s looking at the time and the merchant gets up again and the leader of the Satsang says, “No one leave this Satsang till I’m ready to close it up! You sit down where you are, whoever you are, sit down there!” So the Angel of Death is late now with the delivery of the soul. So he goes to the next realm which is the Archangel realm and he tells the Archangel of the Lord of Creation that there is a soul who does not want to come to face his bad karma. The Archangel says, “What? This cannot be, not in the realms of God, this cannot be. He has to be accounted for, we have to go and get him.” 1:15 So the Archangel comes down and he says, “What was the good karma that the man asked for?” He says, “Well he was entitled to ten minutes Satsang.” So the Archangel came and “Where did you put him?” “Oh I put him in this Satsang over here.” And he come to the door and he looked, “I cannot go in there.” So they signal again the merchant to get up to come out. The merchant tries to get up and again the leader of the Satsang says, “Nobody leaves this Satsang till its over!” So he had to sit down again. Now the Archangel and the Angel are late with the delivery of the soul ‘cause the Lord of Creation is checking everybody, he gotta account. This system has got to keep up on time and they all went to the Lord of Creation and they said, “We are missing a soul who does not want to come out of a Satsang to face his bad karma.” The Lord of Creation says, “This cannot be, there is no Satsang by any Yogi, Swami, Mahavatar, Great Avatar, or Ashwara, whoever he is that I cannot enter and take out what I need. I am the Lord of Creation, where is this soul that you say that would not come out to face his karma?” And he said, “Lord, right down in this realm.” So they went down to the realm and the Lord of Creation came right at the door where the Satsang was going in and as soon as he look at the door, he says, “This Satsang you put the soul in?!” They said, “Yes Lord.” “Do you know what Satsang this is?” “No Lord.” “This is the Satsang of the Lord of the Soul and He’s the man who’s inside there and I cannot go in there myself! He is my Lord!” So he kneeled down and looked at the Lord of the Soul he said, “Please forgive us.” And the Lord of the Soul says, “Depart in peace, the soul is here now, he can’t go with you.” 1:17 So the merchant had no bad karma to account for. This is not a story, this is how it works on the inner realm when we are ready to go out from creation back to the Lord of the Soul. Jesus said when He was in the body, “Be ye not afraid of him who will destroy your body, but be ye afraid of him who will destroy both body and soul.” There is the Lord of Creation and there is the Lord of the Soul. The Lord of Creation is responsible for all creation and provides us a body to live in. It’s a game between the Lord of the Soul and the Lord of Creation. The Lord of the Soul is our Father and the Lord of Creation is our Uncle, you may call him Satan if you like. He’s not a bad guy, he just happens to work with your Daddy to make the game of creation go on. He puts you through the paces and he has to account to his brother, the Lord of the Soul, for everything he does. Even he has to account to the Lord of the Soul, but there’s an agreement between the Lord of the Soul and the Lord of Creation, that is between Adonai and Elohim, between what you call Satan and what you call God. There is an agreement between these two forces that the soul must be entertained in creation by the Lord of Creation, which is a merry-go-round. 1:19 That the soul must not know that it will not be forsaken or abandoned by its Creator, the Lord of the Soul, but the Lord of Creation must not tell it that, that he will not be abandoned. The Lord of Creation must give him all types of illusion to think there is no other place to go but in creation. The Lord of Creation has every guise or right or freedom to make you believe there is no other place to go, but he’s never to tell you that you will be abandoned by the Lord of Soul, this you must discover for yourself. The soul must discover by itself that there is no abandonment by the Lord of the Soul, it must discover this by self-reflection. Therefore it cannot be told by the Lord of Creation why it must go through creation. The Lord of Creation has no power over the Lord of the Soul and those who come down from the Lord of the Soul knowing this are called our elder brothers, they are Christ realized, that’s why the man Jesus said, “Satan has no power over me.” Merely meaning the soul that knows fully well that creation carries no way within its make-up any type of illusion to make it believe that it’s abandoned by God. 1:21 Now any test that the Lord of Creation designs for the soul, as long as the soul does not panic in the test, it will not be abandoned by the Lord of the Soul, but the moment it panics then the Lord of Creation has won the game and the soul must repeat the same game over till it learn the lesson not to panic. He’s your uncle, he’s not an enemy. All our brothers and sisters who have gained the realization are called Masters of the Lord of the Soul, but uncle has his own masters who keep the merry-go-round going. That’s the guy who tells you to buy your ticket to go on the roller coaster, the one that tells you to come and see the Fat Lady, come and see the Strong Man in this big circus, come up and see if you can hit the hammer and send the unit right up to the top. You ever been to one of those carnivals and see there are always some people working for the carnival. There are lots of press agents working for the carnival, but everyday the carnival is going further and further away from your home and everyday it creates more allurements for you. Our home is not this creation, there is another creation behind it, that’s where we came from but we don’t know that, therefore we feel abandoned. 1:23 If we feel that the Lord of the Soul has abandoned us then we will stay in the creation. If we don’t feel that then we will get out of the creation. The Lord of the Soul is not interfering therefore in your scriptures it states, “There is no condemnation in God” because He does not interfere with the show. It’s an agreement with the Lord of Creation that you be entertained, it’s an agreement that we as souls come into the creation to be entertained. That is to say we are coming to this glorified carnival to be entertained by the whole show. Now some of us come to this carnival to be entertained, some of us come and want to be part of the carnival, some of us come and want to work for the carnival, or to be the star in the carnival. The owner of the carnival is happy to have you as part of his show, but in this creative principal even if a man hires you to work for him, he doesn’t own you, see? Even if we agree to become as Master for the Lord of Creation, we still don’t have complete realization. In this creation the highest aspect that the person can have as a Master representing him is the opening up of the thousand petal lotus. 1:25 That is as high as the soul will go in creation working for the Lord of Creation, the opening up of the thousand petal lotus. That’s the crowning glory of the service rendered in creation by the Lord of Creation. Now you cannot supersede the Lord of Creation that is why Jesus said, “Be not afraid of him who will destroy your body but he who will destroy both body and soul.” There’s something beyond the thousand petal lotus that would have to come from the Lord of the Soul now. In the story with the merchant when the Lord of Creation was told that the merchant was attending a Satsang, he made the remark there is no Satsang that he, Lord of Creation, cannot enter and take out any soul that is due to go for his bad karma. That means there is no one who still lives with the development of the thousand petal lotus as a guide back to the spiritual realm that the Lord of Creation cannot still pull you down. Only those who have gone past the thousand petal lotus to the Divine Rose of the Soul, only they can pull you out of creation. There’s a difference between the lotus and the rose. Our journey is not to the thousand petal lotus, our journey is to the Divine Rose, but it begins at the ending of the thousand petal lotus. 1:27 We have to go through the spiritual growth of all the Masters to the point of the thousand petal lotus and then leave the thousand petal lotus and go to the Rose. We have to do exactly what Jesus said, “The things I do you shall do also.” These are all the things of the thousand petal lotus, “and greater things shall you do,” those are the experiences outside and beyond the thousand petal lotus. The Lord of the Soul does not attract us back to Him by miracles, that’s a peculiar thing. The Lord of Creation will promise you a lot of miracles, he will give you all the powers that you would like to demonstrate in this world. Now when a Master tells you, you have to understand what He is talking about to know the difference, where you don’t get trapped in your search for God the Father, not God your Uncle, “What it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul.” He didn’t say “lose his body,” he didn’t say “lose his mind.” It says “lose his soul.” “What it profit a man to gain the whole world” that means what it profits the soul to know how to use the thousand petal lotus and control creation and still get lost in the creation and not get out of it. 1:29 So Master Jesus is still warning us, there is a difference between striving for the creation or striving for the Soul. The overcoming that is mentioned is the overcoming of creation and entering into the Soul, the Soul level. Last night I said that there are many levels, that the universe is an octave set to music, four of the levels are controlled by the Lord of Creation and four of the levels are controlled by the Lord of the Soul, they have equal division on the octave. The first four levels that are controlled by the Lord of Creation are Matter acting on Matter. Second one is Energy acting on Matter. The third one is Consciousness acting on Matter and the fourth is Energy acting on Energy. Up to that point the Lord of Creation is in full control of the universe, of manifestation. Now the Lord of the Soul does not come down into the Lord of Creation domain and will not meet the Soul in the domain of the Lord of Creation. 1:31 The story of the Prodigal Son is a perfect description of this particular principle. The prodigal son is the Soul that leaves the Lord of the Soul’s domain and goes out to a far land which is the world of creation and manifestation and when it has squandered its reserves, that means it ends up now where Matter is acting on Matter, the pigsty of the universe, it wants to go back home, it’s all polluted with material impressions and tendencies, it becomes animalistic and when it turns around and makes every type of excuse and sacrifice, it is written in the parable that the father met the son where? Halfway you see, not quarter, not three quarter, or go pull him out. The Lord of Soul does not interfere with the Lord of Creation’s work and the halfway mark is the dividing line between the Lord of Creation and the Lord of the Soul and the halfway mark is Energy acting on Energy. The Soul has to come there on its own by its own remission, by its own forgiveness, by its own efforts, by its own surrender, and these are the debts that it pays back to the Lord of Creation, this is called the karmic debt of accounting by virtue of non-desire, by virtue of non-attachment, the debt is paid off up to the fourth realm, up to the halfway mark, then the Soul glistens or shines. It’s shined up, it’s brushed up, it’s cleaned up by its own effort, but it cannot get out into the fifth realm, it cannot jump out and go into the fifth realm, it is not something that you can merely flip out. The dividing line is held there for a specific reason because the next four realms up that are controlled by the Lord of the Soul does not require self effort. The first four realms require self effort and initiative to get there, the last four realms require grace. In other words you learn now that somebody is pulling you that you’re not running the show (end of tape).
Adano74_3EasterQ1NW4 - 0:10 One of the psychic illnesses that we suffer from is a sense of over perfectionism. That is a form of psychic illness. Whenever you find the individual is hell bent or heaven bent for perfection, you are looking at a sick person. Question from the audience: Is that self righteousness? That is a form of mental illness, not psychic illness. Self righteousness is a mental illness. Psychic illness is that he is doing every single thing, to the extent of damaging the body, to be perfect. Satan is not a separate entity. It is the aspect of God that is flowing out of the realm of non-manifestation. God, if you take the word God, in Its true aspect represents total goodness. What is total goodness? There is no physical object actually speaking that is totally good. We couldn’t relate to it from a mental level to compare it, we can only sense goodness. That would be a feeling from the Soul’s level. So we say God is good. God is the all good and Jesus says, “call no man good save the Father.” So, the term God infers goodness, which is a quality, which is perfection. It’s not decomposing, it’s not rotting, or anything wrong with it. It is good. Now, the opposite of goodness is a manifestation which is going to be subject to breakdown. So it has to be in opposition. It has to have the qualities of breaking down, have the qualities of deterioration. So the word Satan is Hebrew for opposition, adversary. It is not a person. We tend to personalize it. Most Oriental thinkers do that. They tend to personalize impersonal concepts simple because the mind wants something to relate.

Adano74_04_2MassFirstRetreatQ2 - 0:16 Spirituality is simplicity, but how does this simplicity become such profound wisdom, that’s what puzzles everybody. Where does the simple approach produce a depth of wisdom, how does it come out? Most of us expect that when we meet a spiritual person, he should have profound wisdom, total awareness of all these things. Where does he get it? Who gives it to him? Nobody gives it to him. Nobody is dishing it out like a bowl of soup out there you know. We’re all impregnated with the wisdom of the Divine Nature, but we are blocked from perceiving it by complexity versus simplicity. When we become simple then this whole complex thing begins to dissolve before our eyes. You know when you close your eyes, what do you see? Darkness, that’s complexity, the overload of the energy in the brain that prevents you from seeing the simplicity or the radiant form of the Spirit, but when you are simple in action, then this darkness dissolves, it fades away and the whole body becomes full of light and the light is shining in the darkness. The simplicity is already glowing in this complex nature and the darkness comprehends it not. Complexity cannot comprehend why simplicity might rule the universe, why simplicity is our nature, why simplicity has the answer to all things in life, why a fungus is an antibiotic. Why for the lack of a nail, a man lost a horseshoe, the horse threw him off and he lost his kingdom. You see? Simplicity. The spiritual life is so simple, it borders on the ridiculous. 0:18 More and more we are impressed by the divine nature of being like children, but the only difference between children and adults is that we take our responsibilities too serious and children don’t take theirs that serious. We are supposed to responsible, we are supposed to be considerate of all things around us, and we are supposed to do our best but we are supposed to do it in an attitude of joyousness and detachment and that’s the simplicity of it. It isn’t that we’re not supposed to do it, we’re supposed to do it, but we have to be joyous about it (inaudible) cheerful about it, “Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” That is your inner nature allows you in your simplicity to stay in a state of inner peace and inner composure and not get bogged down in the complexity of the outer world. It works, that’s the interesting thing about it, that it works. 0:20 Someone said to me, “That is all good and fine philosophy, but it doesn’t work in business.” I says, “Oh? What bigger business can you have than running an ashram?” It involves buildings and land, feeding people, you name a business… involves transportation, equipment, people with all type of philosophies, all type of mental blocks. I’m running a hospital, an engineering corporation, and all everything, paint shop and everything, can you tell me which is a bigger business and it don’t work? I’ve got more sick and healthy people coming and going, discontented and happy people, tell me why it wouldn’t work in business, it has to work. Where would it work? It works where we are thrown together because that’s the real test. The real test of spiritual laws is a spiritual living in a spiritual environment that the material environment sooner or later becomes spiritual and a miniature form of a spiritual environment is your house. That’s a miniature form, that a model, like an image you know. They take the ashram as the God image and they take the householder as the soul image, man. It’s just shifting down the size, but the sense of responsibility is still the same. 0:22 A man wanted to withdraw from society, become a Saint, decided all he needed was two loin cloths, one to wear and one to wash and wear as a spare. So the one he was wearing he was happy and the one he washed he hung up and gradually one day he had some students came around and he saw a little field mouse nibbling away at the loin cloth that he always washed as a spare, but he didn’t want to kill the mouse ‘cause “Thou shalt not kill,” non-violence. So the students said, “Master we’ll get you a cat, that’ll take care of the mouse.” So they got the cat, the cat took care of the mouse, and already took care of chasing away all the birds. The cat has to eat. So they said, “Master it loves milk.” “Ok do what you want.” So they got him a cow. The cow gave milk, fed the cat. 0:24 The cow can’t stay outside of the compound because the tiger would eat the cow. Then he come to realize that he got that much problem he says, “I’m going back to the city.” You know I’ve seen so many different places where they were starting groups, right here in the United States, leaving the city to go out in the undeveloped land with the wrong concept. A lot of buildings were put up, they’re all crumbling and falling down simply because they have the wrong motive behind it. They wanted to run away from society to be in their own environment but had no plan of consciousness or how to organize it to make it work as a conscious entity so they’re back in the city. To make an idea like that work it takes a lot of time, planning, and a lof of basic training of interaction with each individual and their needs and their fears and then you have to have common sense and a little bit of God’s grace going for you. So when you hear of ashrams going up or doing things, there are a lot of things involved in it before it really works. (skipping ahead) 1:03 Audience: What are the Psalms in the Bible for then? It is just repetition. Adano: What is a vaccination for against an epidemic? It’s an insulation, it’s an immunization, right? Against a condition. Mantra, or Psalm or prayers, when repeated over and over insulates you against the thought repercussions of others around you who wontedly use thought waves, have no respect for life, and sooner or later will bounce back and affect your life. So why get polluted by the negative discharge of other people’s thought waves, why not insulate and immunize yourself against it? You’re gonna adopt a smart ego and let disease attack his body? You’ve gotta be smart, “physician heal yourself.” So prayer unceasingly is a form of mental immunization, a form of spiritual immunization against these thought waves. You ever walk in a room and feel depressed from the thought waves of people? Alright, why are you going to immunize yourself against that? The bible gives you a simple way, all the scriptures of the east give a simple way, prayer unceasingly, hallowing the name of the Lord. That’s what mantra yoga is, union through repetition.
Adano74_04_3MassFirstRetreatQ2 - 0:08 This is a universe of light and therefore light has precedent in this environment that generates the illusion for our existence. This is not a universe of our true Soul nature, we can’t live in water, but we can’t live without water so the Sound Current is audible in the human body because it’s 80% liquids. Otherwise it would never be audible and you could never travel on the beam of light back to God in this world of illusion because you’ll end up back in illusion. You need the Sound Current that has to travel though the media of 80% liquid in your system to get back to the core of creation which is beyond the speed of light squared. So the audible life stream inside is the actual force field designed by the Creator to be in the world and outside of the world, to be in the illusion of light, acting as sound, and outside of the illusion of light acting as sound, you see? So the scripture says, “No man saw God but heard His voice” and God is not light, God is sound. See the creative life energy is ultrasonic frequencies which triggers light and Jesus, which is the son or the word made flesh, that is when the human brain is capable of generating self-recognition of the audible life stream, you understand, in its totality, it’s Christ related. That means it’s conscious of its intelligence within the vibratory nature. 0:10 That’s what Christ Intelligence really is, that’s what Master Consciousness really is, that’s what they call a Master. When that awareness is relating to the vibratory rates on a conscious level then that’s a bridge. Now Jesus was saying, “I saw…” don’t mean the man Jesus, it means that the intelligence within the vibratory structure of matter perceived “Satan,” don’t mean some guy with a pair of horns or a pitchfork, means the centrifugal energy. “Fall from heaven” means go down. You see on the Earth here it looks like a going up and actually it’s coming down from the levels of Being. “Like a light,” He didn’t say like a sound. See the differentiation of the science is very exact, the Science of the Soul is a very exact science. It’s so exact that we’ll instrument it one day. “Like a light,” “I saw Satan fall from heaven” I saw the negative charge of the creative energy, not bad charge, that negative print. You can’t make a picture without a negative, we’re talking of photography, cosmic photography between sound and light, it’s a motion picture process. This light, this particular principle, came down in direct opposition to sound. So Satan has no power over me, light has no power over sound. 0:12 Where would you find in this universe light is powerful than sound? Not possible, ultrasonic forces are superior than light vibrations, what ultrasonic can do, light can’t do, you see? The ultrasonic frequencies are great because they’re responsible for the whole creation. “Satan has no power over me” meaning the light vibrations are not greater than the ultrasonic frequency which is the audible life current. Now “I saw Satan fall from heaven like a light,” simply saying that this whole creation is a manifestation of light in a downward movement from the source of Being, Akal, and the timelessness, that the word Akal means, the opposite of time, Kal, negative charge. And the Sound Current, or the Christ Intelligence or Master Consciousness, which is the Lord within you, the in-resident principle of self-recognition, this principle sits on the right hand of the Father, the right side of the brain. The body is the temple of the Creative Principle, there is no other temple for God, not the Pagodas or the Synagogues, this is the temple and it’s a ten door temple. There are nine visible doors and one invisible door to the naked eye, but not invisible to the internal self, and the point between the eyebrow is that focal point and it’s where you enter the alpha levels. You cannot enter alpha level if you don’t focus the eyes up, it’s no way possible. You can’t shift from the beta level until you do that.

Adano75_03_15RocklandQ1NW8 - 0:22 You cannot experience god with the mind racing… fast, you can only experience it when the mind slows down. It’s obvious that when you’re dead, you are very close to god. You can’t argue with it, but when you’re alive he’s so close to you, you don’t recognize it. He is the next breath. So between the next breath and death itself, learn to slow down the brain. They could have put that in a book 1,000 years ago, but they didn’t want to tell us the truth, but now we wake up with the truth, what it’s all about. We don’t have to run around like chickens without our heads to find god. He is closer to us than the breath. He’s inside of us at the point of the forehead. “When thine eyes,” two you see, “are single,” centered, “the whole body is full of light,” atomic energy. Einstein says light, matter is equal to mass times the velocity of light squared. Jesus is saying it in his own way, this body is full of light, “and the light is shining in the darkness,” that is your desire nature of your cells, or call it the ultra polarities, positive negative, “and the darkness comprehends it not.” The mind don’t comprehend why light should be in your cells until you start bombarding the atoms that form creation, “but let your light so shine before men,” that’s the important aspect of it, “that they may see the good works and glorify the Father in you.” The time you spend to slow down the brain to observe the reality of yourself, this is what the good works are. 0:24 Finding God and being enlightened in God don’t give you a big intellect. Far from it, you might end up being the craziest fool in the world by being ultra simple in your behavior, like a child, and the world don’t like you for that because they don’t need childlike people. They are always looking for some horrible individual, threatening thing or something like that, to make out that he’s important and spiritual. The worst insult to God is a long face. When you love God you smile, what more obvious is than that? If you don’t love Him, you’re not going to smile and if you’re going to love with all your mind, you can’t fall asleep, you can’t die. Isn’t that what He said, “with all your mind,” objective, subjective, superconscious, “and with all your strength.” That’s your breathing you know. No breathing, no strength, and with all of your heart, that’s the pumping of the life blood in you, decarbonization of the blood. When your blood is over carbonized, you’re sick, you degenerate yourself. When you purify it, the body is healthy, it’s radiant, it lifts, it conserves, it expresses wonderness, simplicity, and your whole Soul? Loving the Lord with your whole Soul is just letting God take care of you, don’t try to take care of Him. We’re too busy trying to take care of God, telling Him how to run the world.

Adano76_06TylerTXQ3 - 0:36 When you are not interested in God realization, or what you call “time lapse sequential existence,” when you are not interested in that. You see, God realization is time lapse sequential existence. People didn’t know that, you know. Time lapse means there are no time. Sequential existence everything is Now and therefore you exist as Now and that is God realization in a scientific context. So what has happened is that there is no time in God realization and the way we break out from our time nature, wanting everything to act on time, we get very disoriented and we feel an urgency speeding up in us. Therefore people who become spiritual are always on an urgency level. They get more and more involved with the timelessness of it. So anything that is aggravating would be time itself. They always never seem to have enough time to do the thing in time. So they end up doing what is called Guru time. So when the person invited Mutkananda and they say, “will you be here for Satsang?” And he says, “Yeah, I’ll be here.” “Tomorrow night?” “Yeah, I’ll be here tomorrow night.” And he shows up at ten o’clock for it. They are waiting for him to show up so they are all peeved. He doesn’t show up at eight o’clock, he shows up at ten o’clock. 0:38 In the Guru’s mind, there is no numerical value on time. It is all in flow according to receptivity when He comes there. That’s the realized person and He is never late, you are late because He has been waiting for you thousands of lives for you to realize that you were out of phase with yourself and you are busy thinking that you have to satisfy society to be on time like a punchcard when society doesn’t give a hoot who you are when you die. And the only person who gives anything about you, he is your own self, how you stay healthy, while you are alive. You have to take of this mechanism and conserve this energy to enjoy it the best way you can by being severely happy. And health is happiness, half of the job done. Sickness is unhappiness, half of the job done. So who wants the other half, which is death, too soon? So you extend the health nature as much as you can without trying to run society or impose it on society, you just flow with it. So the Guru consciousness is one that He ain’t in a hurry because there’s nothing, He ain’t going no place and as soon as you recognize that He ain’t going no place, the quicker you are going to get there with Him and the sooner you are going to find He’s always going to be on time because you gonna end up synchronizing with Him and you are never going to be late in your mind. So after they had learned that lesson from Him a few times, He was always on time and they were on time. 0:40 Now you take Master Charan Singh. They say you can measure the time in the Dera when Master comes out of His house to walk across to give Satsang. He’s always on time. That’s what everybody say, but you ask the people who is people who is on time, Master or the people are on time? The time is on time around the Master when He’s on time and you flow with it, but you are not aware of the fact that the time is measuring itself proportionately to the Master’s motion. Alright. (Someone asks, “Can you say that again?”) You are not aware of the fact that time is measuring itself proportionately to the bodily motion of a Master and when we synchronize to that bodily motion of His, we are always in time. Even the light in the environment will appear to be like that. Good example, how many times do I come to Boston and the rain falls as soon as I come? A lot of people have experiences like that. That we’re in phase. It says, the more you realize the trueness of yourself, the more you are in phase with the environment and you’re never out of phase with it. Life will even seem to extend itself a little longer than normal for that person that is in phase and all different other phenomena seem to extend themselves to adjust. Now, that is exactly what happened. 0:42 (Woman tells the Taoist story of the man who comes to end the drought and he doesn’t do anything for three days, then the drought was broken and when they asked him why he said the only reason it took him three days is because when he left his home he was out of the Tao and it took him three days to reestablish it. Is that the idea of it?) That’s the whole idea of it. Our universe is our time lapse if we accept it as such. The reason why we don’t accept it as such is because we have been preconditioned with certain conditions around us and therefore we are always expecting it not to work. I’ll give you an example. I have a patient, she came in and told me her problem. So I says, “You know, you are perfect. Why don’t you accept it?” She said, “What do you mean?” I said, “Well, God made man is His own image you know and then if you are made in His own image and likeness, He’s pretty imperfect.” She didn’t like to think, but she start thinking, well He’s perfect then she’s perfect. 0:47 But the main importance of a Kirtan is the identification and the frame of reference for which the identification comes from. We can be singing to God as a creation hoping to identify and we can generate a lot of emotional drive, but if the frame of reference is from God’s singing to us, God carrying with us with His own words that He wants us to realize, then this is an entirely different communication. God is on a different tone level of communication. Our tone level is to reach up because we feel abandoned. Our tone level is to express our separateness and our need for communication, but we couldn’t feel abandoned, or we couldn’t feel a sense of communication if it was not designed that way in the very start. Who is more abandoned than God when everything go back in Him? Who is at the bottom of the ladder when everything goes back into Him? You see you never think that God is lonely just as much as you feel you are lonely and separate from Him. He is lonely when He has got no creation to play with.

“In 50 years we will all go to sleep like Rip van Winkle and when we awake and return to the cities we will find they are run by the nine years young.” — Adano Ley c. 1979 (note: Adano later changed this prediction to 25 years.)
“For absolute control of your life and for destroying prenatal and postnatal root-causes of failure, you must exercise your will in every undertaking until it shakes off its mortal delusion of being human will and becomes all-powerful divine will.”
