You have been
reading about the greatest alternative available to a human being:
Perfect
Happiness.
You have been
reading about how Perfect Happiness can be Realized:
The opportunity
to be Perfectly Happy is not a common communication! Nobody
talks about Perfect Happiness. We live in a death-denying culture
that trains us to settle for fast food, a good movie, an orgasm,
and a network of family and friends to keep one entertained, consoled,
and relatively immunized in our ability to feel, until the day
we die. But all of that is not the same as true happiness. At
most it affords moments of happiness, here and there. It's mostly
just passing time. Are you
willing to settle for that? How about Perfect Happiness instead,
regardless of the circumstance, now or hereafter?
Of course,
you could ignore or dismiss what you've read here. You could choose
to go with the flow. That would be the most common choice. If
you were to ask most of your friends, almost certainly that would
be their recommendation! In every generation, only a relative
few have taken up serious, genuine Spiritual practice.

On
the transition from an egocentric life to a self-transcending
life of absorption in the Divine:
You
must go through the inevitable and natural crisis of that transition,
and that is a profound matter. If it were not profound, most
difficult, and something that people in general are not prepared
for, human beings all over the world would have entered that
stage of life by now. This crisis of transition is the most
profound and unwelcome change that confronts humanity. That
change has been unwelcome for thousands of years. . .
To
come to the point where your life is a serious matter of real
Spiritual practice is rare. Generally speaking, people are not
serious. They are ego-possessed, preoccupied, distracted, thinking,
talking, pretending. . . . To be serious —
and to be
serious in every moment, unable to be abstracted from Reality
—
is a profound
matter. What will it take in your case?

Most
people have looked at the few genuine saints, sages, yogis,
and Spiritual Masters of their own time either with suspicion
— as though they were a little off their rocker to organize
their lives around God and Spiritual practice — or in dismissal
— "I'm not up to what it takes." But here's something
worth knowing: Avatar Adi Da Samraj has indicated that the two
fundamental crises which every
practitioner goes through at the beginning of true Spiritual
life are: doubt of the saint or Spiritual
Master; and self-doubt.
After you have fully considered the opportunity of genuine Spiritual
practice and have seen its value proven in so many exceptional
human beings throughout history, you begin to recognize these
crises for what they are — simply resistance of the ego to ego-transcendence,
resistance to our necessary next stage of human development
— and they cease to impede your Spiritual growth.
So a better
choice would be to seriously consider the communication you've
read about here: Perfect Happiness is
possible; the means for Realizing Perfect Happiness is
available in present time through the Way of Adidam. Read
the material on this site in greater depth. Take a
look at the books
about genuine spiritual practice, Adidam, and Adi Da Samraj.
Talk with current practitioners
of Adidam who live near you — they are a rare resource;
they can tell you firsthand about their experience of the
Way of Adidam and about the Blessing and growth they have
experienced over time by persisting in that Way. Attend some
of the events, courses, workshops, or retreats offered by
one of the Adidam regional
centers or area study groups.
Taking up the full practice of Adidam
If, right
now, or through all these means, you have a heart-response
to Avatar Adi Da Samraj, the best thing that you can do is
to find out what is involved in entering formally into relationship
with Him by taking up the full
practice of Adidam.
Finding other ways to help Adi Da Samraj's Work
If you do
not feel ready to take up practice of the Way of Adidam at this
time, but still feel moved to serve Avatar Adi Da's Spiritual
Work in the world, you can help,
through advocacy and patronage. You can also let others know about
Adi Da Samraj and the Way of Adidam. (For instance, you can use
the "email this page" option at the bottom of every
web page on this site.) Your help is much needed and much appreciated!

It is no accident that you are here, reading this. We'll end with
these words from Avatar Adi Da Samraj, Who lets us know that He
is our True Self — the Divine Self — appearing here in response
to our own heart need:

I
am like the sunlight in the morning. I intensify the light of
morning until you Awaken. Until the light awakens you — even the
Light of Consciousness Itself — you continue to dream, try to
survive within the dream, manipulate yourself within the dream,
pursue all kinds of goals, searches, none of which Awakens you.
All ordinary means only console you and distract you within the
dream.
I,
Myself, the One Who would Awaken you, am not an individual within
the dream. I Am your Very Self-Condition. I Am the Real, the Conscious
Light, the True Waking State, the True Divine Heart — Breaking
Through the force of dreaming. It is not that you are some poor
person who needs some other poor person to help you out. It may
appear to be so within the dream — but, essentially, I Am your
own Most Prior Self-Nature Appearing within the dream in order
to Awaken you.
