THE FIVE BOOKS

Communion Beyond Body and Mind

Book Five:
Eleutherios (The Only Truth That Sets The Heart Free)
The "Late-Time" Avataric Revelation Of The "Perfect Practice" Of The Great Means To Worship and To Realize The True and Spiritual Divine Person (The egoless Personal Presence Of Reality and Truth, Which Is The Only Real God)

The Da Love-Ananda Gita is Avatar Adi Da's description of the foundation practice of surrender to Him (the "Bright" Divine Reality), and Hridaya Rosary is His description of the practice of Spiritually receiving Him. Eleutherios, the final volume among the "Five Books", is His description of the Ultimate Yoga of the Way of Adidam—the process of Realizing Him.

To enter into the Ultimate Yoga of the Way of Adidam, the devotee must have gone through the most "radical" possible shift in his or her way of being. Although still functioning in an apparently "ordinary" manner, he or she no longer identifies with the complex of body-emotion-mind-breath as "self". Rather, such a devotee is (more and more—and, ultimately, most perfectly) heart-Identified with Avatar Adi Da Samraj—the "Bright" Divine Reality, or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Consciousness Itself—as the Divine Self of all. And one lives and functions in the world on that basis.

This shift in being is not something "attained" by the individual being—it is entirely Given as a Spiritual Gift by Avatar Adi Da Samraj, in spontaneous response to the individual's life of ego-surrender and Spiritual opening to Him.

To exist thus—constantly transcending ego and its patterning, and abiding in the Communion of Non-separateness from Avatar Adi Da Samraj—is Perfect Freedom. And that is why Avatar Adi Da calls the Ultimate Yoga of the Way of Adidam the "Perfect Practice".

The principal Text in Eleutherios begins with Avatar Adi Da's address to the great human questions about God, Truth, Reality, Happiness, Freedom, and Consciousness, and then proceeds to His extraordinarily precise Revelation of how Absolute Divine Freedom is Realized in the context of the "Perfect Practice" of the devotional and Spiritual relationship to Him.

This book is a must for spiritual aspirants . . . an unfailing guide to all true devotees.

Consciousness Only Contemplates Itself
The Deep Non-Separate Space of Consciousness Itself
The Forever-Risen Sun

Every conditional "thing" (or apparent "object") is only Energy (Itself).

Every conditional "self" (or apparently individual "subject") Is only Consciousness (Itself).

The Conscious conditional "self" (or apparently individual "subject") "knows" its every "object", but no "object" can "know" its "knower".

No "thing" can Contemplate Consciousness.

Therefore, Energy (Itself) cannot Contemplate (or ever "know") Consciousness (Itself).

Consciousness (Itself) only (Eternally) Contemplates Itself.

Consciousness (Itself) Is the Native and Inherently Perfect Intuition of Being (Itself).

Being (Itself) Is Self-Existing and Self-Radiant.

Consciousness (Itself) Is the Eternal Contemplation of the Self-Existing Self-Radiance (or Inherent Energy) of Being (Itself).

Therefore, Consciousness (Itself) Is the Contemplation (and Real Observation) of Energy (Itself).

Consciousness (Itself) Is Merely Being (or Existence Itself), Self-Radiant (As Primal Radiance, or Energy Itself), appearing to be modified as all forms and changes.

Consciousness (Itself) Is Inherently Free Radiance, or Bliss, or Happiness (Itself).

Consciousness (Itself)—Realized As Inherent Freedom and Self-Radiant and Self-Existing Bliss, or Happiness (Itself)—Is the Realization of Real God, or Truth, or Reality (Itself).

Therefore, Consciousness (Itself)—Self-Existing As Being (Itself), and Self-Radiant As Bliss-Energy (Itself), or Happiness (Itself)—Is the Divine Being, the Eternal Spirit, Forever Standing in the Midst of Life.

Consciousness (Itself) Is That Which always already Exists.

Consciousness (Itself) Is always already The Case—no matter what arises, and even if no "thing" arises.

Real God is Consciousness (Itself). Consciousness (Itself)—or the Perfectly Subjective Source (and the Non-separate Self-Condition) of the apparent conditional world and the apparent conditional self—Is the only Real God.

The Deep Non-separate Space of Consciousness (Itself) is the Matrix in Which the Origin and the Ultimate (and Self-Evidently Divine) Condition of conditional self, mind, body, world, the entire cosmos of conditional Nature, and the Universal Field of Energy is Inherently Obvious. When This (Deep Non-separate Space of Consciousness Itself) is "Known" (or fully Realized), the apparent conditional world and the apparent conditional self are fully "Known" (and, Thus, transcended) in the Realization of Truth Itself.

To "Know" (or to Realize) Consciousness Itself As Real God—and, Thus, to "Know" (or to Realize) Real God As Consciousness Itself (or As the Perfectly Subjective Source, and the Non-separate Self-Condition, of the conditional world and the conditional self)—is to transcend both the conditional world and the conditional self by Means of Truth, or the only "Knowledge" (or Realization) That can set you Free.

"The Avataric Divine Self-Revelation Of Adidam Ruchiradam" (the Epilogue of Eleutherios) is a Text written and spoken by Avatar Adi Da Samraj in 2001. Here He Reveals an extraordinary Secret: The visual "Shape" of Reality is a Radiant White Sphere (His Unconditional "Brightness") in the center of a black cube (the darkness of conditional existence). This "Shape" is visible to the Spiritually Awakened inner eye, and (as attested by reports of near-death experiences) a reflection of this "Shape" is also often seen in the death transition, as the "light at the end of a tunnel".

I Say to all: The Real Spiritual Process in My Avataric Divine Company is a matter of going beyond the "blackness", beyond the "dark night"—to the Divine Self-"Brightness". I am not here merely to Reveal the darkness of conditional experience. You must see what has darkened you so profoundly. You must become literally En-Light-ened again.

There Is a Sun That Is Forever Risen in the night sky of the body-mind. It Is the Eternal Sun—the (Self-"Bright") "Midnight Sun", Infinitely Above the head, and not usually perceived.

The Sun That Is Eternal and Over-head . . . Is, Truly, the Divine "Face" of My Threshold Form.

The entire cosmic domain is a field—indeed, a cube—of black, with all perceptions and conceptions gone—as in the swoon of death, or in the Samadhi of ascendedness most profound. In the midst of that black cube, there is a Sphere that looks like the Full Moon—but with no features or patterns on the face of It. It is Radiant, not shadowy. Its Radiance is like that of the Sun, rather than the Moon. Yet, there is Great Pleasure in beholding It—unlike the physical Sun, which is impossible to look at, with its rays and brilliance. This Eternal "Midnight Sun" Is the Direct and Tangible Entrance from the night sky of the body-mind Into What Is Beyond the black—Beyond the first six stages of life, Beyond the gross, subtle, and causal patterns of conception and perception. And the Divine Ever-Risen Sun is Edged absolutely discretely. It Is Absolutely White "Brightness"—and Its White edge is absolutely defined relative to the field of black.

The "Midnight Sun" Is the Hole in the universe. It is not (Itself) black. It Is the Hole in the black. It is Divine Being objectified, the Divine Self-Condition objectified. When there is passage into That Place (or the Divine Self-Condition Itself), there is nothing more to say. That Is My Divine "Bright" Spherical Self-Domain. . . .

The Image of the Circle of Infinity (or the White Hole in the midst of the blackness) is not to be used as the basis for a visionary practice. Rather, It is a visual Image of the Structure of Reality and Truth. In Truth, It is the "Face" of Da. It is, literally, My "Face".
