The Seventeen Companions
The final group of Avatar Adi Da's twenty-three "Source-Texts" is The Seventeen Companions Of The True Dawn Horse.
The "True Dawn Horse" is a reference to The Dawn Horse Testament Of The Ruchira Avatar. Each of The Seventeen Companions Of The True Dawn Horse is a "Companion" to The Dawn Horse Testament in the sense that it is an elaboration of a principal theme (or a group of principal themes) from The Dawn Horse Testament. Most of the "Seventeen Companions" are built around one or more chapters of The Dawn Horse Testament as their central Text.
The "Seventeen Companions" are the basis of various presentations, seminars, and course offerings of the Laughing Man Institute.
The Seventeen Companions Of The True Dawn Horse are a vast field of Revelation, which can be "considered" from many points of view. Presented here is one way of understanding the interrelationships between these "Source-Texts" and the flow of Argument they collectively represent.
