Spiritual Development And Transformation

Question:  Is it actually possible to come face to face with the eternal Truth?

Adonis:  When you wake up in the morning you think you are awake but it's not true.  You are actually waking up into a more solidified dream.  The real awakening is within you.

Many of the religions proclaim that there was a man who came face to face with god.  So we are asking; can you do that, actually?  If there is such a thing as god, surely that would be the ultimate way of going beyond all the world religions.  Do you feel me on this?  What would happen if you and I, explored our consciousness to see rather or not we can actually discover such a thing if it actually exists.  Let us not assume anything right from the start.  If god is the unknown, to use my mind to find it, I have already lost the battle before even stepping onto the battlefield.  Do you understand?  Can the unknown be revealed to me?  I am a product of the known.  Because I am knowledge, I am limited by that knowledge.  Can I use knowledge to discover the unknown?  Listen to how beautiful the question opens up all by itself.  There is a certain flowering of understanding just to listen to the question.  Let the questioning blossom within you, quietly.  Listen to the question anew.  Without any desire or movement to try to answer it.  Notice how the mind tries to look away from the question.  Surely, the answer must be within the question and it will come if you just let it speak to you, silently.  Let the insight open and unfold the question within you.

As long as my mind is trapped in the known, I have no means of reaching into the unknown.  So, what must I do?  Can I do anything?  That’s just it, I don’t know if I can do anything to awaken this in me.  The moment I try to seek the unknown, I am lost.  The thinker can only look within its knowledge-base, its memory bank.  The unknown is not found there!  For how many centuries has man been looking in the wrong place, using the wrong means?  Do you understand?  All your life we are accustomed to, out of habit, looking for answers within our memory never going beyond it.  So, we are asking, is there a way to transcend the known?

Question:  I notice that you speak a great deal about nature.  Why?

Adonis:  I love nature very much.  It is there for you to observe and take great delight in.  But, if one is cold-hearted an insensitive inside, the exquisite beauty of life is unseen.  When there is clarity, one can enjoy the simplest of things.  And when there is sensitivity there is intense passion.  Then there is no space between you and nature or between you and another.  So, when there is no internal space between you and another, is that love?  Now, if you are sensitive, the simple act of watching a butterfly flickering in the morning light may bring unfathomable joy.  As long as the mind is preoccupied by so many things, that noise within you prevents clarity and hinders sensitivity.  So it is vital that the mind and heart be open, free and unperturbed by all happenings.  So one may see, when there is that emptiness, freedom and sensitivity, there is beauty beyond measure.  And when there is quietude within, one can feel the slightest thing, deeply.  Which means, by the fire of love burning within ones heart, ones whole being is filled with immeasurable peace and joy! 

Question:  Can any of the world religions help me understand myself?

Adonis:  I want to go into the importance of being oneself.  You see when you are a Christian or belong to any world religion; you must be pretentious and always putting on masks.  Because the reality of your life is one thing and you want to be another according to an idea or ideal.  This is the cause of conflict and confusion.  Your life is one thing and so you desire for something other than.  To live ones life in suppositions leads nowhere.  Truth is in the here and now.  The fact is all this attachment we are covered with is the problem.  So all your life you are taught to gain knowledge, but the secret to moving within is in negation.  You have to flow with every fact and not fiction.  All while you are trying to accumulate knowledge, wisdom negates the known and you will awaken to the real. 

The things that I tell you are accurate and true, only thing is you are trying to understand me through the intellect.  The self only exists in darkness and wants you to remain there.  So when I speak to you of things that are not of the darkness of this world, you can not grasp it because it is out of the realm of mere knowledge.  There is a point when the mind as noise comes to an end.  One must relax and just let it be.  The whole head feels like emptiness without limit, no sound, just perception.  There is no thinker and yet you can think.  There is no need to think when there is the fullness of perception.  You see we do all this thinking because we fail to SEE.  So out of fear, we resort to the past for answers in thought, knowledge and form.  We are afraid to set ourselves aside and let perception function freely.  The power of perception is without limits, it is beyond the limitations of thought.  It is intelligence.  And if you are willing to listen, it is GOD!
