The Transcendental Spiritual Reality-Teachings of His Divine Presence, Avatar Adi Da Samraj

The Pneumaton presents Avatar Adi Da’s in-depth examination of the devotional and Spiritual traditions of humankind (particularly as seen in Christianity and Hinduism) and the Transcendental Spiritual Reality-Way of Adidam.

The Pneumaton (which means “The Book of Spirit”, or “Book Of The Divine Spirit-Breath”, clarifies and illuminates the ancient traditions of genuine Spirit-Transmission associated with the Adept-Realizers. In this book, Avatar Adi Da brings to bear His intensive investigation of the entire of body of traditional Spiritual literature, His early-life Christian and mystical experiences, His lineage of Spiritual Masters, and His own Divinely Realized State. The book includes Avatar Adi Da’s rendering of the essential Spiritual import of the New Testament Gospels.

The book also includes a full and informative orientation in an illustrated introduction, written by Jonathan Condit.

“While philosophy, theology, ritual, meditation, and right moral behavior may, to one or another degree, be relevant and/or necessary to esoteric Spiritual practice, none of those is its essence. That essence is the (direct and undeniable) experiential reality of receiving true Spiritual Transmission from a real source of Spiritual Blessing. And the event of Spirit-Baptism is not something the individual can acquire for himself or herself. The practitioner must prepare body and mind to receive Spiritual Transmission—but, once that preparation is in place, the Transmission can only be given as a gift.”

—from the introduction by Jonathan Condit, PhD

It is the purpose of this Revelation-Text to Illustrate a right understanding of the esoteric seeking-traditions and seeking-cultures of Spirituality (including “original” Christianity)—and, that having been done, to then Illuminate the Unique and Always Priorly Searchless “Radical” (or Always “At-the-Root”) Reality-Way of Adidam, Which is the Reality-Way of Perfectly Non-Dualistic Transcendental Spiritual, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Realization. 

—AVATAR ADI DA SAMRAJ

“There is much talk today of ancient gnostic gospels, secret teachings, and the renewal of a mystical form of Christianity that can answer people’s spiritual hunger beyond all the unbelievable beliefs and social-control mechanisms of public ‘religion’. Here, with The Pneumaton, we have what amounts to a modern gnostic gospel, a re-telling and re-interpretation of the life of Jesus the Spirit-Baptizer—presented as a principal aspect of Adi Da’s examination of the world’s mystical traditions (both Western and Eastern) and his summary of his own Spiritual Way. The result is a vision that is as radically critical of exoteric religion as it is profoundly appreciative of what Adi Da calls the ‘mystical Ascent’ of Christian esotericism.”

“All spiritual aspirants need to confront and integrate the extravagant brilliance and originality of Adi Da Samraj . . . power and vision and passion at the highest and most lucid level.”
