Beyond The Trap of Experience

During this Discourse, given September 1, 2004, Avatar Adi Da Samraj reveals that all experience—positive or negative is inherently binding. And He describes what must be discovered in either case: “You must identify your suffering even in your apparent enjoyment. You must find your freedom, even in your pain and apparent suffering.”

In the context of His generous and often humorous responses to questions from His devotees, Avatar Adi Da also offers His full Revelation on how to move Beyond this “trap of experience”.

Additional topics covered by Avatar Adi Da in this DVD include: the significance of kriyas and mudras in the Reality-Way of Adidam; the nature of compassion and memory in real Spiritual practice; the “abstract art form” of representing oneself as an ego; an esoteric understanding of the first two of the Ten Commandments; true service as an expression of devotion, not just “mowing the lawns”; the humorous and Instructive story of Avatar Adi Da’s Uncle Gene and the chinchillas.
