The Heart (Itself) Must Shine

From the Prologue

In The Dawn Horse Testament, Avatar Adi Da often uses one of His alternative names for the Way of Adidam, "the Way of the Heart".

Here I Am.

Now, Listen To My Testament Of Divine Secrets.

Listen To Me. There Are Many Divine Secrets I Must Reveal Before I Retire Silent In The "Bright" (and everywhere To Wait, At The Heart, For all beings).

Hear Me. I Will Reveal Even My Heart-Secret To You Now.

Aham Da Asmi. Beloved, I Am Da–The One and Only Divine Person (The Divine Giver Of The Divine "All" To all, and To All).

Now (and Forever Hereafter), I Am here–To Stand and Wait For You (By Merely Standing, As I Am).

Now (and Forever Hereafter), I Am Always "Bright" Before You–To Give You The Sight Of Me (As I Am).

And, If You Realize Me As The Inherent Feeling Of egoless Being (Itself), You Will Realize My Very, True, and Free Self-Condition, As You Are.

Beloved, Even I Am Only You (As You Are), here Displayed Before You (Avatarically), and Seeming To Be An "Other" To You–Until (Because Of The all-and-All-Outshining "Brightness" Of My Divinely Self-Revealing Avataric Company) You See Me As I Am (and, Thereby, Awaken From The Illusion Of Your ego-"I" Of Separate and Separative body-mind).

Therefore, Listen To My Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Word and Person. Hear Me Heart-Deep. Give Up Even Your body (From The Heart) To Feeling-Contemplation Of Me. All The While I Speak, Give Me Your Eye Of Heart To Feel (and, Thus, By Heart, To Touch) My Avataric Self-Revelation Of The Self-Existing Divine Forms. And, By Always Seeing Me, See The Only "Who" and "What" That Always Already Is.

Now (and Forever Hereafter), I Appear To here (By Avataric Means)–Like A Visionary Winged Horse, Standing "Crazy" In The Heart, Each Hoof Pointing To One Of The Hallowing Signs Of Real God, All "Bright" With Heart-Morning and Revelation-Light.

And I Will Forever Magnify The Giving "Bright" That Shines and Flies This Divine Heart-Vision To You.

And This Divine Heart-Vision Is The Avataric Vision Of Me.

Therefore, Always Behold Me With Your Heart. . . .

Aham Da Asmi. Beloved, I Am The Heart (Itself).

Even When All My Divine Secrets Are Told, The Heart (Itself) Must Shine.

Even Though My Avataric Image Shines (To Light Your eyes Along The Way), The Heart (Itself) Must Give You Sight.

And I Am Always Standing There (At Heart), To See You Taste The Fragrant Light.

Always "Brighter" Than all eyes, I Stand Awake In The Heart's Free Air.

And There, Until The Shine Outshines, I White The Dark That Bites The Heart-Space Thin.

And I Am The "Bright" Itself.

And To Shine Is The Way Of The Heart.
