Eternal Spiritual Life Within
Hello everyone, my name is Adonis and I am the founder of the Adonis Alexander Foundation and the author of the new book, "Secret Sayings of Adonis."
Before I begin, I would like to express my gratitude to all those who have been deeply interested in what I have to say. I look forward to continuous dialogue with all of you throughout the world.
Now, the first thing I want to address is how imperative it is you listen with your whole heart, with every fiber of your being. You must see the truth of what I am pointing out to you, which takes great clarity. So that, when at once you are spiritually free, no one can use ignorance against you. Do you understand? Let no one deceive you with their clever use of words that they themselves do not comprehend. Spirituality is a loner’s journey within that points to the unknown. You can not carve a path to it within the known. Your church or temple gatherings have no meaning. That is mere socializing and not realizing the Truth. You see, there is no group effort that can bring this about. You may know how to recite your scriptures by heart; you may know how to speak in tongues and you may have your little psychic abilities, but, that is all a thing of the mind. Spirituality transcends mind and its limitations. The great sorrow is you do not know yourself. Therefore, you live such shoddy meaningless lives without this endless living joy deep within you.
So it is up to you to realize that man's primary concern on this earth is to discover whether or not there is the unknown. That is the ground of religiosity. Which is to discover what is real. You must learn to think deeply and go past the movement of your thoughts, emotions and beliefs so you may have the fullness of peace that is beyond comprehension. Now, are you fully listening to what I am pointing out to you?
Look, if one man believes there is such a thing called God and another disbelieves; well, they are both trapped in darkness. A belief or disbelief is not finding out. Your religious beliefs are just conclusive ideas in your mind. You must discover the truth for oneself. It is up to you to see how all the world religions are playing on your gullibility and lack of understanding. Your so-called spiritual leaders of the world are deceiving not only you but themselves. Their ego is swollen with pride and arrogance because they are proud of their ability at beating others. They play on your ignorance, your desire and your fear. They are forever repeating things they themselves did not experience, see or understand.
Surely, you can perceive the fact of what I am pointing out to you. Beware of those who speak much but say little. They have no self-knowledge which brings wisdom. They themselves are the blind leading the blind. Look at all your tele-evangelists robbing your actual life while selling you a dream.
Let no one deceive you. There is no mediation in spirituality. You must come upon the sacred all on your own. You see, when there is a middleman, there lies the beginning of all corruption. In fact, nothing stands between man and Truth. Everything that is false you must see through the illusion of it. To break that bondage that has you trapped takes place when you see this for yourself. Can you observe and listen to every aspect of your own life with great diligence? Only then will you understand yourself. You see, the beginning of wisdom is to 'know thy self.'
When at once you are empty of your 'self,' when at once you are free of this delusional idea that you are a person that was born of flesh, only then will there be freedom. Then you are the glory and the perfume of existence. So, it is up to you to see that you are not this body, this flesh, living on this earth but, the fact is, YOU ARE LIFE! And that is the great secret to discover on ones own. And this realization can only come from within you. My speaking it to you has little to no meaning. You have to look inside yourself and then you will see what I see. It is this spiritual awakening that comes when the illusion of 'self' perceives its own demise and breaks free. Then you will discover the greatest secret of all. And that, my friend, is up to you to find out for yourself.
