Expand illumination

"Experience the indescribable peace, the unimaginable beauty, deep with you, then expand it. Expand the peace. Expand the love. Expand the light. Expand the joy beyond yourself, out into the world at large. Acquire a sense of brotherhood with all humanity. For everyone is truly your brother and sister. This is Eternal Truth." Robert Adams

Warm Greetings

"This is a very auspicious season. Be of good cheer!"

Robert Adams

In this 'season of light' we appear to be entrenched in a world that pushes to the foreground the vast uncertainty of "man's inhumanity to man" as the sage states. The world indoctrinates us into identification with the shadow dream of aggression, unkindness, arrogance, 'winning' something by harming another, while mutely ignoring abuse, arrogance and injustice. Yet, as the 'chaotic incoming repercussions of our choices arrive on our doorstep", an eternal and unchanging opportunity of incomprehensible grace and compassion remains, in the very air we breathe.

A sanctity of the true Self within us. A mercy of The Supreme. Light breaks through. We can change everything. Now. It is never too late. We can "rise to a higher vision" this exact moment. Not one day. Not tomorrow. Now. Everything, past present and future can completely change, surrendered to the light Eternal. Omniscient All Pervading. We can turn our identification to the eternal joy, that Light of a Thousand Suns which is our origin, upon which all else is a superimposition. That Light of God that can never be extinguished, hurt, dissolved, or overwhelmed by anything of this earth. It is all up to us. In the West, one looks to the star, for the arrival of the One of love. Eternal. For, in Truth, "Jesus and Ramana said the same thing."

Deepest Peace in Eternal Love to you and yours this sacred season.

GIVING OF ONESELF TO CHILDREN - A CONDUIT OF LOVE

The Robert Adams Benevolence Project Documented Narratives

The Robert Adams Benevolence Project
By Gayle Damont

I would love to share my Benevolence Project experience. Both full on thankfulness for what happened and also the permanent effect on me. I had originally asked to be able to contribute toys in Robert Adams class tradition, like he had asked students to. It was so surprising to me to just honor the need for a little fun and free spiritedness in these kids instead of indoctrination into a belief. I was tired of seeing people make them ‘earn’ their gifts this way. But Robert Adams asked so sincerely I was surprised, I didn't’t know about his huge involvement in kids aid. For someone so wise to dedicate themselves to what is so small to adults and so huge to kids to me is truth. Maybe because I had kids. I never joined his daughter and him in their many visits to children’s’ institutions where they read to and comforted them, but I was struck by a video of it.

   My own daughter canceled out on joining me at the last minute when I decided to bring the gifts myself this time to a religious home that the Benevolence Project had visited previously. It was a comedy of errors in arranging the date because you had to be listed with a group and then the staff forgot, but I eventually found myself there, alone, in an auditoriums lined up according to age. I didn’t realize this was the same auditorium the Benevolence Project gave out hundreds of toys in, or performed music shows with healing themes for “abused orphans” but the staff associated me with that. So there they put me. Suffice it to say what I thought would be a brief dutiful passing out of toys in my perfunctory Christmas ‘spiritual giving’ turned me inside out. One hour later I had two little ones on my lap, motherless for years and a rambunctious boy who began by throwing the toy across the room.
  
When I said 'good throw,' he looked surprised and picked it up and sat at my feet. Actually, sat at my feet and would not leave. Mother need was everywhere. I had heard a bit about a universal divine mother but never made the connection. It is an essential part of our healthy human development. But all the emptiness. All the abandonment. There’s an ‘app’ imagery for that lol, it’s called divine mother and I met her through the Benevolence Project for the first time. Not that it was me, it just came through me in a very uncharacteristic way. I felt a love come through me to cover up all these little hearts at once and I really didn’t have much to do with it. The time was over before I knew it. So, there it is. After that, I listened a little more closely to his talks. I heard them differently. From my heart, not my head. Sometimes I donate now, sometimes I deliver, but I always remember that time. As Robert Adams says when he gave thanks for giving the presents, “You are blessed.”

ROBERT ADAMS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS

Robert Adams celebration of Christmas is joy personified, in his twinkling, signature gentleness. The season had 'arrived' when Robert Adams entered his home on returning from shopping with his yearly special English styled fruit cake made by the monks in a monastary, and his carton of celebrative dairy-less 'egg nog', for the famiy. The family regularly welcomed one to three children from the local children’s home, long known to them through their giving of clothes, toys and books in the benevolence project. The children would sit at the table with Robert Adams wife and children and a laden buffet offering gourmet vegetarian entrees, followed by the child’s favorite desert, and a circle of gifts just for them under the tree. Many gifts were humorous and joke oriented, such as the ‘never ending’ line of brand new brightly colored character socks that children pulled out of a long tube, pop up Disney characters, and name tags identifying the giver as a Disney character. The Sage often wore a bright red Disney cap to the delight of the children. His most well known beloved signature cap was a red Disney cap with embroidered Mickey Mouse and character writing.  

In his own family, Robert Adams enjoyed giving and making others happy, graciously producing a happy, light-saturated environment, including bestowing large amounts of festive gifts with the gift tags humorously identifying the giver as a famous saint or philosopher in their whimsical tradition, while familiarizing the personage. To one child, a name tag with “Plato” was attached, presenting  a science kit they wanted. Another surprised child often received a book and doll from “Socrates.” Another, a coffee table pictoral on Mother Teresa from a saint. This made for touching and humorous breakfast conversations when explaining to their young friends the origin of their gifts. The large, graciously decorated house was always circulating with the repetition of holy name, as children explained that their exotic boxes of sweets were from “Krishna and Radha.” This tradition is known as his signature gift-giving, carried on among his children and grandchldren.

TRUST IN THE CURRENT THAT KNOWS THE WAY -Today and Always

Allowing the surrender of our worry, pain, tension and fears, any feelings related to the season in seeming temporary loss of our beloved ones ( tenderly attuning to their eternal presence) to truly lift us, tenderly transforms our daily earthly life into a supreme harmony of events for the deepest good of all. "Things appear to fall into place. You have a higher perspective."

"There is a power, and there is a Presence which I like to call The Current That Knows the Way, that takes care of everything. It is all a part of The Grand Illusion. And, even in this 'illusion', which appears in front of your eyes, there is a Presence and a Power that lifts you up. It will lift you up as high as you can allow it to. Until it lifts you up completely out of your body, out of your thoughts, out of the universe, into a completely new dimension."

Q: What are 'The Higher Laws? Higher Qualities'?

Robert: "Learn to behave, live in loving kindness. Until one learns to behave, one cannot begin to progress. Your humanity must be surrendered to Omniscient Love and Right Action. You will rise to a higher reality. As a human being, you have to behave yourself. Be compassionate. Loving, kind, helpful to others. As Consciousness, you become others. You have become the epitome of compassion, of loving kindness, of Bliss.

What is compassion? Actually compassion is when you are reconciled with this entire universe.
So many times I tell you, everything is 'karmic', everything is pre ordained, you do not lift one finger that is not pre- ordained for you to do. Yet, at the same time, I am telling you that you have to give up certain things, and develop Higher Qualities, which is right."

Q: How do we react when we are attacked, unjustly for doing only good, which appears to have been the 'way of the world' since Christ's time and before?

Robert: "Abide in Goodness. You will be lifted up by higher laws than those who abide by no laws- until karma returns to such, creating suffering. In this light, you perform Right Action, - do not cultivate hate. What is Right Action? Do unto others as you want them to do to you. If someone attacks you, takes from you unjustly, abide by the laws of the land. Do what is necessary to protect yourself. For this life is a sacred opportunity. That is why I say, look very carefully at who you are attracted to. If you are saint, you will be attracted to saints. If you are a thief, you will be attracted to thieves. But you cannot fool God. God sees the heart. Therefore, remain gentle, humble and strong. Live in righteousness. Speak truthfully and take Right Action Continue to Abide in Goodness. For this is none others than the Self."

Daily Living

"Making quotations is one thing. Being a Living Embodiment of the Truth is another thing. There is a difference in knowing the Truth, and just letting your-self be walked on. This does not mean you become a rug for somebody to step on you. You become a doormat for no one. You are abiding in the Self. When you abide in the Self, everything will be OK. You are not a coward. You are not running from anything. You are abiding in the Self.
Your body and mind are motivated by karma. The law of karma takes care of them. But you are not your body. If you are aware that You are not your body ( * "When I say "You" are not your body, I mean the Eternal You, for you are far more than the physical. Your job is to reflect your True Self while here in your human embodiment.") the Right Action will ensue.
It Is All Up to You. By all means, if you want Self Realization, and you want to become Free, and you want to be free from the ocean of samsara, worldliness, and become Bliss- Full, then it is up to you. I can share these things with you, but I cannot make you do it. It is just like: I can bring you to the goldmine, but you have got to do your own digging. What comes first in your life again?
Whatever comes first in your life, that is what you become. Realize the God within you will never lead you astray. The Sage, Love, will always be with you.
Realize this. Always remember this. If you learn to surrender to the Sage, the Sage will always be with you, and never leave you. When you are asleep, when you are awake, when you are working, you will never be alone again.
Love will always be with you.

Reminders on The Path


You should make it a policy to help whomever is in need, if you can, and not think about it. This is our karma, in any event. It has been pre -ordained again, every step you are going to take in this body, in this plane of existence. But if the chance arises, when you have an opportunity to help people, by all means do so.

"As you begin to unfold you will naturally emanate the fragrance of compassion" Robert Adams

Goodwill, Benevolence and Charity. `Be As A Rose'
A rose need not declare, 'I am fragrant'. By its very nature it is fragrant. So you need not declare, 'I am doing a good deed', by your very nature, you cannot help helping others. By your very presence. And if you can't say a good word, or can help in any way, you say nothing. If you cannot say anything good about someone then remain silent and you have thereby blessed someone else with your silence.

November Illumination

Blog 2017

Welcome to The Original Robert Adams Official Pure Form Teaching Peace Sanctuary, in the warm brotherhood of global studentship.

"You must attain a sense of brotherhood with all of humanity. Our Mission on this Earth Is To Be of Service to Humanity."

The Robert Adams Infinity Institute for Compassionate Living is personally established by Robert Adams in 1997, now joyfully celebrating our twentieth anniversary.

Enjoy a dip or a full immersion into the teaching of his message of love, compassion and humility by his personal lineage and his selected Teachers in lifetime studentship of over three decades per his instructive, "to teach for generations to come." Enjoy a warm refuge of deep peace on the foundation of the emanation of Truth through The Three Virtues, upon which one may experience the classic 'fruits of your efforts' of Illumination; "Peace, Harmony, Omniscient Unchanging Love." in clear life guidance. A refuge of timeless rare wisdom that palpably lifts one into an experience of divine love , the gentle sage traditionally tenderly reserves his 'lessons' here for deep reverent 'personal experience' for those called to 'go all they way" rather than mass distribution, enabling one to embrace the complete life experience.

As we enter the holy-day season of rich festivities, family, brotherhood and joy, enthusiastically celebrated by this tender teacher, one is called to ponder.

"This is a very auspicious time. People around the world are thinking about God. Celebrate and be of good cheer. Be of service to others. If you look for peace, goodwill, joy, delight, you will find it. Therefore celebrate the holidays with Great Heart. Become a living conduit of loving kindness to others. By doing this, you will naturally emanate your True Self. Peace. Peace. Peace."

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Trust in the Supremacy of Goodness. In this world, the darkness will always be threatened by light. But the light will always prevail". Robert Adams

Student Sharings

"In an immense honor, I was invited to Robert Adams family Thanksgiving, along with my three children. This was a life changing event that had a deep impact on me. I was immediately welcomed into a level of unusual warmth in deep family structure. His wife had created a graceful gala of beauty. It felt like a big nurturing hug. Their kindness was infectious. I linked it to a more evolved gathering where everyone was sincere, cared for and morally rooted. He was joyful with many children. They cared for them as their own. There was a special understanding. I had never experienced this generosity of spirit asking nothing in return in any spiritual environment. We ate a 'gourmet' vegetarian banquet. We sat at a long glass table on Grecian columns. I really cannot describe the peace but it was a love that immersed everyone. We were in deep deep peace. I didn't know the original student group there, but they were so humble and devoted that I felt as if I knew them my entire life.

I understand why he said his wife lived spirituality rather than talked about it. They treated my children as precious jewels. Most groups don't. So gentle but engaging. He soon made all the children laugh for long periods of time. Their innocence of hearts recognizing one another I suppose. There was an Indian formality that I quickly became comfortable with. Afterwards he gave one of the most amazing dialogues I have ever heard. This while blowing bubbles with seven or eight kids! Those who wished sat in the candlelight lit living room of spiritual paintings and art tapestries.

I was told he did not have meat, cigarettes or alcohol in his home. But the plethora of offerings in banquet presentations made the meat not missed. Robert patted many on the shoulder and asked how they were doing. Serenely. With great care and gentleness. Very protective of his family. Extremely alert to everything in the room while relaxed and rather mystical. This was new for me. I was the last to leave (against my will LOL) after the moving talk. Truly 'heaven on earth'. Honoring God in everyone. There was never any rudeness or gossip or unkindness on any level amidst one another. A soft self restraint was there. In surrender to the best in human nature, it just sort of emerged. They brought out the best in all. This was the happiest Thanksgiving of my life."

Jen T. Thomas Los Angeles California,. Twenty- four year documented acknowledged student of Robert Adams

Reconciliation with The Animal Kingdom

Robert Adams on an Ahimsa Peaceful Diet:

"You must reconcile yourself with the animal kingdom. Your job is to protect the animal kingdom.

What right do you have to hurt an animal? Even as a child, I could not understand how anyone could hurt an animal. Your body does not require meat to be healthy. When you eat meat, you absorb the pain, the suffering, the terror of the animal. Therefore, live in peace, harmony, with all sentient beings. For all life is of the same source; omniscient love."

Immeasurable Strength &

Beauty 

"Your mortal consciousness is presently limited to the physical awareness. However, this will soon change. You will discover that the physical awareness is a veil covering the texture and substance of joy. Joy that permeates your being and all of life. Claim your heritage. Claim your True Nature as a being of immeasurable strength and beauty. Stand tall in the full power of who you really are. Beyond the changing circumstances of life. Here you will leave behind the suffering of 'illusion'. (* "By 'illusion', I refer to that which you identify fully with that is not eternal. You take correct action, you fulfill your responsibilities, yet you never forget who you really are. Part and parcel of the Supreme that does not change.")

Never tell anyone that they are not really suffering. Help them. Some tell others that they are not really suffering. Yet if the position were reversed, you would prefer that someone practically help you. This is the miracle of compassion. Compassion is the sister virtue to happiness. They are one and the same. They emanate from the same wisdom Supreme. The Supreme is not a fool. The Supreme Happiness exists equally within all. Not the chosen few. Therefore, it protects guides and frees all. There is a substratum of all existence. It is love. It is Absolute Reality Conscious awareness is the substratum of your existence.

If you say "I am above taking care of others, above working, I am above becoming involved in helping others', then you are originating from the human ego. For the perfection within has only one desire. If you can refer to it as a desire and that is to exist in utter humility and freedom from bondage to that which is of illusionary reality, from this perspective the quickest menorahs unfoldment is to completely surrender your ego and be open to complete transformation.

The Heart of Awakening

For you can talk absolute 'awareness' and 'enlightenment' and all of these terms, but when you are really in trouble, in pain, in need, your heart cries out to God! Genuinely and sincerely. It is this heart that is the Heart of Awakening. It is when you leave this heart that you descend into confusion and ego emerges. (* "Many people confuse these terms. Ego is simply the limited identification with the foils and foibles of being a mere human, enslaved by the flesh. You do whatever your confusion demands. When you identify with your divine Self, you make the effort to reflect only the quality of your true Self until this occurs naturally, devoid of effort.")

So, we are seeing very little of what is really going on here. To many, the irony of it all is that in the end, with all the theology, the terminologies, the religions, it is the nice person, the kind person, that is the most aware of the absolute functioning of the entire universe!

True Love

True love never changes. It does not 'go away because it never came from 'anywhere'. It is just something that 'is'. And you, (the real You) are That. And in this way, you treat others as you wish others to treat you. Serve everyone you meet. Ask what you can do to make their lives happier. In the ultimate, all of these processes are occurring in the journey towards realizing that you have nothing to awaken from other than your own mental limitations. Your habits. Your secret thoughts. Yet saying this, and Being this are two entirely different things. Meanwhile, be aware of becoming self-obsessed.

It is of value to be near happy people. People of pure heart. Put a smile on your face and emanate happiness to those most in need. Really do this. Try it this moment. When you put a smile on your face you are deciding to live in harmony with your true nature. With that unchanging reality of illumination.

The illumination within cannot help but burst through to all that it comes in contact with, for it resides in complete joy. Here you may find the refuge wherein lies all that you are seeking. When all suffering dissolves. It is from entering this silence within that we can remove ourselves from the travails of this world, and be born anew. As we are all illuminated from with, the moment of realizing our true state is at hand We feel this deeply. If we are honest with ourselves, we know that this earth is not our home. We know that pain and suffering are not our natural state. And we know that we are existing in Reality. Far more than we appear to.

It is only by holding our lives up to the clear reflection of Omniscient Truth, abiding in The Three Virtues, that the reflection comes back to us in none other than the radiant, all pervading Self. It is who we were all along. Our original state of existence. And the universe rejoices. An exquisite quality to life appears. It emanates from everyone. We just never saw it before.

In one burst of illumination, all that remains is happiness. Within and without Through and through. Beyond the ups and downs to this world. For it is of our natural state. Before the world got a hold of us. And, since compassion is the highest Truth, it becomes natural to simply do what must be done to humbly bring happiness to others. There is another world of reality where there is only perfection, love, bliss joy. With which do you identify? The choice is yours."

Jewels of Pondering

"Ahimsa is not in difference to darkness. Quite the contrary. You intervene as a conduit of the Supreme. Of Goodness. You do not remain outwardly neutral. Yet in your heart you remain at peace. "

""Emptiness" is Fullness of God. Empty of the temporal. Fullness is love, bliss, benevolence. Never think that emptiness is a cold orb. Solitude. In God, all is unity. One."

From the book 'Just for Today' copyright Robert Adams Institute The Teaching of Robert Adams

Ponderings

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS?

"The purpose of human relationships is to establish peace, love. Joy. Therefore you feel a glimmer of that eternal happiness, that love, that is of The Eternal Supreme.

You learn to become selfless. Giving. Putting others before yourself. Protecting others. Serving others. Taking care of someone beside yourself. You utilize this opportunity to serve God in others.

The world says to put yourself number one and others number two. I say to put others first and yourself number two."

Sage in the Heart Meditation

Imagine your heart on the right side of your chest. I am speaking of your Spiritual Heart. It has nothing to do with your chakras, or your physical heart. Say someone says, "Hey, you." You say, "Who, me? And you point to the right side of your chest. Because that is where the Spiritual Heart resides. You do it inadvertently. You don't think about it but you do it because that is where your Spiritual Heart is. You can see a ball of bright white light in your Spiritual Heart. A sphere of light, radiant, brilliant light. And in the center of the light, you may see your favorite saint or sage. Christians can see Jesus. (see the saint of your faith) Just by doing that alone, you will feel a sense of peace and relief. You will feel Good.

After a while you see your Sage expanding, expanding, expanding until you are totally immersed in the Sage The sage becomes as big as your body. See the sage expanding also. Expanding again. Further and further, and further. Go in with this until the whole universe is immersed in the Sage. Then, realize there is nothing but that Sage. And I AM That.

There is the whole universe immersed in the Sage. I AM is also immersed in the Sage.

"I and my father are One. If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." (Scripture)

That's a beginning.

The Peacemakers

"Peace is your real nature. But it has been covered up for years as the clouds cover the sun. You do not say that the sun does not shine any longer. You realize that in due time the clouds will dissipate and you will have the sun shining once more in all of its glorious splendor. So, it is with humanhood. There are certain people that because of God's grace, karma and they are able to understand the Truth about the world. About Reality. And these people become the peacemakers. For they become an example. By their very presence, peace falls." SOH

World Peace Meditation

The Robert Adams Institute Global Studentship

You are Invited to Join Us in The Robert Adams Institute Peace Prayer
When: Sunday October 7, 2017 Seven p.m. and Eleven p.m. PST USA

How: Light a candle in the name of peace in your meditation area or any quiet room in your home.
 
7:00 -7:15: We will begin by singing the St. Francis Peace Prayer together simultaneously in unity.

7:15-7:30: We will follow with fifteen minutes of the respiration peace meditation of Robert Adams. Inhale “peace”. Exhale “peace”. You may softly repeat outwardly or within. We will dive into ‘the peace that passeth understanding’ in this powerful awakening of the reality of peace as our true nature, merely obscured as the sun by clouds, in the habits, samskaras (previous repetitive choices) and incorrect identification with “Man’s inhumanity to man” as reality."To enter into the deeper Presence of The Supreme, through the heart."

“Our Mission on this Earth is to Be of Service to Humanity.”
We invite you to close this powerful application with the joy of service, in selection of a current vehicle of peace that is practically assisting the suffering following the recent floods, hurricanes, volunteering to join the Robert Adams Benevolence Project in sending much need relief items to an assistance program. This may include baby items, hygiene items, clothing, blankets, socks, or other. Today, now, many are in need in Puerto Rico and Mexico for everyday items. "Alleviate the suffering of others in a practical manner. In this way you are naturally reflecting your true nature. Without compassion, there is no spirituality."

 “Peace. Peace. Peace.

THE ORIGINAL BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND CHANT OF ROBERT ADAMS

"Within you is an unimaginable beauty peace. An unfathomable peace that does not change.

Here is everything you have been looking for. The peace that passeth understanding. A peace that is not of this world.

Here, you will realize the reason for everything that has happened to you. Suffering will subside.

Take refuge in this peace. It is waiting for you. For this is the peace of the Supreme. "

The Sanctity of Life

"Your Job Is To Preserve Life Whenever Possible."

"This life is a rare opportunity to unfold. An auspicious event. When you identify with the joy, the love, the compassion,

life, Truth, flows through you. Therefore, it behooves you to utilize this rare opportunity to be a vehicle of loving kindness.

Not in memorizing spiritual terminologies, or pronouncing your spiritual path. But in simple, everyday dharma, responsibilities.

Life is a found of joy if you will only find the origin of this joy. Your job is preserve life whenever possible. Honor life. You have

no right to take life; whether this is an animal, or any living being.

Love life. For each thought, word and deed is creating your experience on this earth. And you are free to create bliss.

Harmony. Peace. To realize that this is the origin of all life. It is all up to you. This is your gift of Free Will.

To reflect the true (divine) Self, God, or to reflect your humanhood; bad habits

cynicism, anger, arrogance, self aggrandizement, suffering .It is God, the Supreme that is Life exuding unalloyed happiness.

Therefore, utilize your life to bring this happiness to the world. This is why I say 'our mission on this earth is to be of service to humanity.'"

Robert Adams Happiness This Moment The Happiness Talks

THE CLEAN GENTLE LIFE

THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING ON THIS EARTH

“This earth was created for humanity to abide in peace. A conducive environment in which to evolve. This earth is like the third grade. (*Of evolvement.) People are still learning not to hurt one another. Thus, there is mass suffering. The cause of mass suffering is not due to God. It is man’s inhumanity to man. The vile actions we perpetuate upon one another. It is the choices we make each day- for they incur vast repercussions. On this earth we have been given everything we need to live in harmony. Peace. To take care of one another. We are our brother’s keeper. This is the way of Truth. It is the vile actions of humanity towards one another, towards the defenseless, the innocent, that creates great suffering. You can choose to identify with The Supreme, with the laws of living a gentle life, full of loving kindness, or to identify with the vile actions of this world-anger, meanness, aggression, arrogance, bothering other people. Believing you are winning by hurting someone.

Examine what you choose to identify with. How do you know when you are truly living in correct identification? By your actions to others. Your thoughts. Your words. What do you do all day? How are you bringing happiness to others? How are you of service to humanity? Many people tell me they are spiritual teachers. Yet in the West, this is simply a new care. Most charge exorbitant amounts for ‘retreats’. I do not give retreats. Everyone wants to be a teacher, but who wants to know God? Therefore, identify with humble service to others. Make life easier for others. When you are in correct identification, surrendering completely to the laws of Truth, you have no other choice but to act out of deep, abiding peace. Deep loving kindness. You are a conduit of divine intercession so to speak in the face of suffering, chaos, meanness. You are not passive. You are simply coming from a higher reality, one that is eternal, unchanging, all-pervading. This supersedes the ways of the world. You are not in denial. You are a vehicle of peace. The peace of God. The peace that passeth understanding.”

“Spend time amid the gentle and innocent things. For these are a reflection of the (divine) Self.
  It is not good to live alone unless you are a monk or nun, always take care of something other than yourself. If you live only for yourself you become self-absorbed, and you think you are ‘spiritual’. Protect that which is a pure reflection of the Self. Purity. Joy. Peace. Beyond words. It is an interior realization. You do not have to withdraw from society, never go out, not own nice things, saying ‘I am non attached.'  For you can do all of these things and still be a mean person inside.

One who knows, does not talk much about their goodness to others, for they are goodness itself, their radiance shines brighter than the sun. They have no other choice but to humbly help their fellow man. All darkness and suffering, chaos and confusion, are the result of man’s inhumanity to man. As you partake in such actions within yourself, you align yourself with equal darkness. This is the incorrect use of the gift of free will. Each action will reap its own fruit in due time. On this earth, the darkness will always be threatened by the Light. But the Light will prevail.”

Daily Life in the World

"Enjoy this life. Be of good cheer. Yet this life is very short. This life is a rare opportunity to unfold. Enjoy nature, the sunset, laugh, play, yet remember to dive deeply into God everyday. You will reflect a reality beyond this world. The world will lose its pull on you. You will naturally reflect loving kindness. A pure heart. For this is who You really are."

Our gift of free will results in our world reflecting our most minute choices. In contemporary culture our free will allows us to create beauty, benevolence or chaos, in our discernment of choices. The spiritual teacher is occasionally invited to attend a film with visiting foreign teachers or with *students. “A ‘student’ is one who follows this path implicitly. They are full of loving kindness to all. They go deep within, diving into God every morning and evening, until they feel the peace that passeth understanding. They follow the Golden Rule- do to others what you want others to do to you. In this way, they unfold.”)

“Enjoy the beautiful things of this world. But never forget who you really are.” 
Robert Adams

The classic ancient universal laws of illumination in all paths reflect the truth of the power of creating a life reflective of the joys of life. Often enjoying films, concerts and feasts with his own family weekly, was surrounded for the majority of his lifetime by his large multi-generational family, much as in the ancient tradition of the Vedic family. Many students expressed surprise at his jubilant air of lightheartedness and deep dedication to his personal family life, cherishing the wholesome innocence and joy on a level of full immersion in the beauty and ‘dharma’ of a reverence for this selected lifestyle. "No matter what is occurring in the world, cling to Goodness. Trust in the Supremacy of Goodness."

"Identify with The Virtues. Love. Compassion. Humility. Your Outer Life Will Begin to Reflect This Unchanging Truth."

The Teaching of benevolence in a rare contemporary awareness in a relaxed yet uncompromised guidance and understanding of modern culture offers an extremely rare example of classic traditional spiritual mores in the midst of everyday life, devoid of renouncing all in an alternative culture or withdrawal, yet not fully embracing the culture in its entirety, including ‘vile’ activities, media, exploitation, disrespect to women.. When taking his family to films, they often enjoys the Hollywood Bowl classical concerts, or an evening out in the famed cultural centers of Los Angeles, then attended a family film, even into their high school years, as he preferred the gentleness of humor, wisdom, and inspirational these that uplift into the qualities of the Self or attributes of godliness. On two separate occasions, he accepted an invitation to a movie with an acquaintance or student. On both of these occasions he unexpectedly attended films that surprisingly showed scenes, however brief, of startling violence, cruelty, or aspects disrespectful to the personal mores and values of ones nature of privacy.

Both were ‘hit’ films of the nineties, and on both occasions, he peacefully and discreetly stood up and motioned that he was exiting the room. As the personal experience of interior illumination is a rare and authentic one, the spiritual teacher naturally feels a natural adherence to the path of non-harm or Ahimsa, never mistaking ‘observance’ for tolerance of spiritual transgressions. One who adheres to divine principles is one that ‘always exhibits the qualities of Godliness’, “One who has been touched by God has not attraction whatsoever to cruelty, abuse, violence, man’s inhumanity to man.” In a culture where echos of the original spiritual guidelines are foggy or entirely invisible, Robert Adams clearly and without fanfare, pronouncement or unkindness, simply exited such environment, preferring a warm, light hearted family environment of laughter and children. .

Peaceful non participation is an ancient path on non harm. On both occasions the host was surprised that he did not simply ‘observe’ or passively accept the situation with neutrality. "Most Westerners do not understand terms such as 'non attachment', 'observance'. One does not simply 'observe' mans inhumanity to man." This was one of the many examples in which the beloved sage resonated his absolute and complete being of gentility and non-involvement in the qualities of a natural Brahmin in a world prone to every exploitation of debasement the ‘the minds aberrations and dark samskaras’ can imagine, naturally living in the reality of the words he transmitted. He simply shares his elevated consciousness. Robert Adams did like the star wars film series however and light hearted comedy films.

"THE LAWS OF RIGHT ACTION WILL ALLEVIATE SUFFERING." PEACEFULLY TAKING RIGHT ACTION IN OUR LIVES

"The Glory and Splendor" of life offers us crossroads of spiritual decisions. "Create a life bright and shining." An often shared, well known event occurred when he was speaking in a private home in Hollywood known for sponsoring famed spiritual teachers upon invitation. A young boy sat down in one of the front rows with his parent. After Robert Adams began speaking the host walked in and motioned for the boy to get up and give him his front seat. The boy looked stunned, confused and embarrassed, already in a foreign environment full of strange adults. The gentle teacher immediately spotted this interaction. He slowly and discreetly came down from the podium area and patted the boy on the back gently telling him there was no need for him to leave and to stay right where he was and enjoy the talk. Robert Adams slowly turned to the man and quietly said in his normal calm timber, “You may find another seat.” with a smile while he continued his talk. The host found another vacant seat against the wall and sat down to the surprise of everyone, assuming Robert Adams would be passive in such arenas without intervening. "Identify with the love. Identify with Truth."

Living in Peace Today

"Become a Living Conduit of Peace. Create Peace Wherever You Are With Whomever You Are With."

"Regardless of what is occurring in the world, identify with the three virtues." protective nature of children and women was of the Vedic or age of chivalry in its full responsibility for another’s welfare in the harsh climate of the world. He often allowed children inside the podium as he spoke and blew bubbles with them, advising their often perpetually perplexed parents to “put children first.” "Your actions reflect your spiritual stature. A soft, radiant, ethereal manner of interacting without harm illuminates Truth, lifting souls into a direct experience of a loving, 'higher reality' of our natural state, shining on an interior level of truth. "The heart of God sees all."

"Become a living conduit of loving kindness in this embodiment." Offering examples of creating a life reflecting truth in gentle discernment lift everyone, in a softened yet seamlessly uplifted resonance to joy, brotherhood and love. In the formal traditional sage-student itinerary of a public talk, consisting of meditation, talk, question and answers, beautiful music, meditation, refreshments, many would begin normal conversations as they exited. One guest attendee was exiting with a female companion. He was discourteous. The Sage immediately turned around and softly, quietly instructed the individual never to curse at a woman, nor talk to anyone in the room like that again. This was a rare occurrence.

The room was quiet in respectful surprise, as such conversations/language were often considered par for the course in LA. While it is common to speak of 'peace' and 'love', many observe that it is less so to see one in a position of leadership actually go out of their way to live it. They quickly learned that although he loved to laugh at innocent humor with no one as the source of laughter in fun loving gentility, followed by answering the most complex and sophisticated, cynical, theological or debate- oriented inquiries with a few humble wise words of clear accurate truth, there was a zero-tolerance zone for crass verbal abuse, disrespect of another human being, gossip, actions contrary to the teaching they had come to lid ten to. "Truth is gracious. Gentle." In a fluid flow, never an air of suppression, disassociation, facades or in authenticity, there was a refreshing, cool clean clear wash of natural purity and soul kindness that melts defenses and excuses for poor behavior or meanness, as they simply dissolve in a stronger reality that is all encompassing on every level of being. Strangers become friends and defenses naturally melt in warm mutual support.

“The path of peace is not simply observing the suffering of others calmly. In the face of injustice, you speak the truth. You alleviate the suffering of others. For each action, each word, is either accelerating your unfoldment, or continuing learning through karma. This is why you must be very discerning. If you hurt someone, apologize. If you make a mistake, fix it. Use the gift of free will to accelerate unfoldment. Now. Today. This is a very beautiful path. It is full of love, the all-pervading imperishable love that is God. The Supreme. Yet you must make the effort. In small ways. Not by simply quoting words. By becoming loving.”

"Peace does not mean that you are passive. You are a doormat for no one. If you have to sue someone, sue them with love. Do not cultivate hate." "Always identify with the eternal virtues that do not change."
Robert Adams

THE SHOES OFF HIS FEET.

BENEVOLENCE IN THE CITY

In Los Angeles, the beloved teacher resided in a lovely professional/family residential neighborhood within a gated community, in a three-story wooded complex of lush foliage and professional sports courts, directly across the street from a park known for its public classical concerts. Robert Adams walked with his much-loved royal companion Dimitri, a caramel Shih Tzu given to him by his daughter, three times daily, and attended the concerts with his family. Several generations lived next door with nieces, nephews within the home, in a light spirited traditional family lifestyle all gathering together each evening for a formal family dinner. In later years, upon suggestions by his private physicians, he moved across the street to smaller square footage enabling him to more easily navigate upon the arrival of illness of the body.

The lovely family concert park facing Robert Adams private two homes in family gated community where he counseled global students daily, later moving across the park utilized for daily walks with beloved dog Dimitri. Robert Adams family home below in gated community.

“To be an asset to this earth you must become a living embodiment of loving kindness. You are not a doormat, you do not allow others to abuse you, yet you remain humble, in peace. In Truth. Every day you do something beautiful for someone. You do not announce this. It must come from your heart. In this way, you are operating from an entirely different reality than that of the world, man’s inhumanity to man. You are operating from the realm of God. Thus you are protected. You have spiritual giants with you.”  Robert Adams

"Always be benevolent." Robert Adams family regularly brought him brand new white athletic shoes, that were easy to wear, as he had formerly preferred white linen slacks and shirts, Indian kurtas and casually elegant clothing, meeting many visitors for counseling during the day, and interviews in the evening. As he rose each morning at sunrise for his entire adult life, he walked for miles, continuing well into outer illness to the stunned surprise of his physicians. Occasionally a homeless individual would approach him on his walks, in the park, or at a concert. Robert Adams would then notice that they often had no shoes or their shoes were falling apart. He would immediately hand him a few dollars, then remove the shoes, brand new Nikes or the brand of the day, and quietly hand them to the individual, who would be speechless, knowing the price of these shoes, would look at the shoes, look at Robert Adams, and either immediately put them on, or carry them away, perhaps to sell for a few dollars. Their faces lit up and softened when he spoke to them in passing, eyes clearing for a moment. This beloved Sages most loved aspect of nature was the ocean, and he often spoke in his beautiful rose garden. Yet his gentility and comfort with all shines with graciously equally in urban environments.

   It was not an unusual crime for people to be held up for their ‘name brand’ shoes, jackets and watches in Los Angeles. He would always ask them how they were doing. He listened quietly and nodded. Just listened. Eventually, they sometimes developed a humorous relationship where he would greet them saying, “How’s life treating you?” as if there were no difference whatsoever in the ‘treatment’ life pronounced on each individual, and they would suddenly brighten up, cheerfully answering, “Not too bad. Not too bad at all.” Evidently feeling a sudden surge of optimism, sometimes wearing the very shoes he had given them.

“The one who has been touched by God is not going around quoting spiritual phrases, telling others what to do, debating and pontificating. He is the most humble of all. He is full of sweetness. The one who is of humble service is gracious, polite to all. Therefore, without fanfare, he is expressing his true nature. They are not speaking of ‘awakening’, ‘enlightenment’, “illusion”. Not at all. They are simply becoming love.”
Robert Adams

“You must acquire a sense of brotherhood with all of humanity.”
Robert Adams

"Never remain quiet when you words can comfort someone. Do not lecture people who are suffering. Ask how you can help." In his soft disarming innocent humor, it soon became a running joke that each family member wanted him to wear quality comfort shoes and would take turns quickly replacing the donated ones. His wife, an established designer with formal designs in most major department stores, was familiar with the top brands advised by his physicians for easiest mobility, adjusting them for easy use. Having Robert Adams return home with Dimitri into the beautifully landscaped active gated complex without no shoes on became a familiar sight to his family, and the neighbors.

A spiritual magazine dubbed him 'The St. Francis of the West', for his equally benevolent quiet actions in assistance to animals, never mentioning or talking about his actions. Oftentimes, when he would accept a dinner invitation or take his family out to eat, the same city traveling homeless man would spot him with his family on outings to the city museums, concerts, Century City, Beverly Hills, or even the beach, and heartily greet him as if he were his best friend in the world. And you got the impression, perhaps he is.

" PEACE PEACE PEACE."

Celebrating Our

Twentieth Anniversary

Welcome to The Robert Adams September Blog

"I Welcome You With All My Heart."

Celebrating Our Twentieth Anniversary Together With Our Global Students

Our Personal Direct Experience

As we begin to enter into a more intimate relationship with the Eternal, The Supreme, our "humanity" gently expands into a broader experiential perspective. An awareness of an undercurrent of "The Light of a Thousand Suns' permeating all of life. All hearts. That life which does not change.

In the Eternal, we reside in an unchanging compassion, identifying with this reality as our reality.

This reality awaits our interior identification with divine Perfection as Truth. Our outer experience begins to reflect this realization. Rather than abandoning or irresponsibly neglecting our lives, we enrich our decisions, actions, words and daily consciousness with a deeper guidance. We naturally adhere to 'correct living'. "What is correct living? Live by The Golden Rule The ancient laws, the Yamas and Niyamas."

Robert Adams responds to inquiries on politics, war, natural disasters, upheavals in environment, with a twofold offering. First and foremost, dive deeply into God in increasing daily increments of formal meditation, inquiry and prayer until "the happiness begins to bubble up." "You feel that peace which passeth all understanding. A deep, blissful indescribably peace that cannot be shaken." Solid in this foundation that surpasses reading or discussions, debates or comparisons, we emerge freshly new and filled with the purity of the Eternal. We are a light unto this world, a 'living conduit of peace, loving kindness". We "leave the world better for being here." We rise above our circumstances. We shine.

Secondly, we take the outer position of justice, righteousness, peace. In all circumstances. The gentle sage speaks of those who assisted in alleviating the suffering off others in WWII, correcting the misunderstanding of passivity.

In times such as these, when outer uncertainty and moral ambiguity call us to retain the spiritual laws clearly, in supreme peace, we 'jump into God' daily, as that 'peace which passeth understanding' emerges as our experience. rather than words. The more we surrender to The Supreme, the lesser 'the pull of the world' on us, the stronger the solidity of our interior peace. We surrender. We serve. We love.

In Brotherhood,

The Robert Adams Institute

"Take the time to scrutinize your self very carefully each day. Notice your thoughts, Your actions. Your heart. This life is very short.

What are you doing with it? I am calling you to a higher vision. Be happy. Enjoy the beauty of life. But lift yourself up. Surrender your bad habits, your anger, your fear,

to God. It is never too late to change your entire life. Rise above the toils and troubles of this world and feel the bliss, the love, the compassion of The Supreme."

ATTAINING THE PEACE OF GOD

EVERYDAY ILLUMINATION 

During Uncertainty: Remaining in the Peace Within, Clinging to Goodness Without

In this world, one who Knows, does not remain passive in the face of suffering, injustice, vile cruelty. This person dives deep within and remains in the eternal, unfathomable peace, palpable Reality, of God. With a sincere heart. Then, after they have gone deep, deep into this Truth, they take Right Action. The highest action. That which is of Good. God, The Supreme, is Perfect Goodness. The Supreme is not a void, an abyss, a callous uncaring emptiness. This is not the way. The One who Knows is naturally a vehicle for God, peace, Perfection. They cling to the three Virtues. In this world cling to Goodness. Goodness is eternal Reality. They remain in this supernal peace, trust, protection within.  They take refuge in this.  Not in the darkness of man’s inhumanity to man, vile injustice, cruelty. Thus, they receive divine guidance. And they become living embodiments of righteousness in the world. This lifetime is very short. Yet it is a rare opportunity to unfold. And in so doing, one must rise to the ultimate. Here. Now. Become holy. Not in appearances, but in your heart. This is not passivity. This is the path of evolved souls such as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and so on. This is the way of the Eternal Self.  

Always remember that ‘duality’ refers to the that which is temporal, not of eternal Truth, that which one is given free will to choose from in this world. Many people ask me about the existence of evil in the world. Of 'the shadow part' (so called) of humans and so on. Of course, there is no shadow side, no darkness, no evil in your True Self, your divine Self. Your eternal Self. Westerners become confused; they believe ‘duality’ means that nothing is good or bad in this world, it is all relative, it is not real, and of course, this is incorrect. Quite the contrary. One who Knows, clings to Goodness. Goodness is Ultimate Reality. If you wish to make choices that create suffering, participate in aggression, self-aggrandizement, anger, gossip, you are becoming enslaved to so- called lower energies. The pull of this earth is very strong. The world teaches that what is vile is good, and what is good is bad. Therefore, one who desires to unfold, to progress (You) can tell if you are progressing by your loving kindness.  

The Beautiful Things of This World

This is why I say to enjoy the beautiful things of this world, alleviate the suffering of others, cling to Goodness. The purpose of the laws of this earth, of this universe, is to allow you to live a happier life. A life conducive to unfoldment. To transcend suffering. To cease creating karmas. Foremost, people live their lives creating and receiving karmic repercussions of past decisions. The chaotic repercussions of words and actions return in order for us to learn the law of loving kindness. Peace. Compassion. Forgiveness. You no longer think “What can I get out of this? What about me, me, me. How can I feel good?" You are no longer blind. You see the Truth. You do not ignore others suffering. You say, “What can I do to help?”  

You do not remain passive. You see so- called evil and you do not become involved in such things. You help others to remove themselves from vile activities. You have discovered a happiness, a joy, that is not of this world. You begin to desire to do good. To bring happiness to others. You become very humble. And a radiance envelops you. Yet, in the West, this is not so. In the West, so- called spiritual seekers often become self-obsessed. They go from one teaching, book, teacher to another, to feel good. They do not apply themselves to the joy that is inherent within, awaiting them. 

This is like the person who takes drugs in order to feel good. They believe that they are feeling ‘spiritual’. Yet true spiritual unfoldment can only occur through the natural freedom of the little self from identification with the external as reality. Freedom from their bad habit. Their meanness, their anger, their aggression. From a pure heart. You must make the choice. You must make the effort. This is why no one who Knows, would never tell someone to take drugs. The idea is not to feel good but to be good. The human mind and ego wishes to feel good artificially, but this is temporary. It has nothing to do with permanent illumination. The liberation of the soul from the confines of the mortal predicament. This is why the advanced spiritual teachings usually have very few adepts. Very few followers. Because you must have attained a certain level of goodness. Of mastery of the little self with a little s, of the body and the so- called lower emotions, before one can even begin such a path. This is why I say, you are here because of karma, it behooves you no to create any more. You do not have to remind such a person that they must follow the Yamas and Niyamas, because not doing so would never occur to them. They have no desire to hurt any living being, to bother anyone, to seek name and fame, self-aggrandizement. They have absolutely no attraction to any of these things. To harm another person is repulsive to them. 

Therefore, one must begin at the beginning. The First Sign.

Now when you engage in such activities, taking drugs and such things, you are playing mind games and you believe that you are spiritual. Your human self, your ego, your mind, is focused only on me, me, me, what makes me feel good. This is the opposite of Truth. Of Ultimate Reality. Ultimate Reality is God, God, God, what is conducive to knowing God. To experiencing God. And of course this is requires loving kindness, serving others, putting others first. Participating in actions of holiness, selflessness, service, out of love. For the first sign of spiritual progression is loving kindness. If you want to know someone’s true spiritual stature, ask them to go out of their way to help someone else. For the result of correct identification with God, Truth, the Self, is an all-pervading compassion that encompasses everything. A tender heart. A warm heart. It becomes a privilege, an honor to help someone. To do the right thing in all circumstances. You cannot skip this. For this is fundamental. This is why I say, when you are following the ‘I’ in inquiry, when you are doing practices, working, speaking, don’t forget the love. For there is no Truth, no illumination, without love. Love is Ultimate Reality. 

The Lords of Karma Are Always Watching

“You Are Here Because of Karma. It Behooves You Not To Create Anymore.” One should be practically experiencing the fruits of their efforts-you should be seeing an improvement in your outer life. Become a better mother, father, teacher, doctor, lawyer, friend. The world will lose its power over you, the power to make you forget who you really are. In the West, everyone wants to be a teacher, but who wants to know God?
 Now of course, this is a very difficult truth for the West to realize. For the majority of people hear this with their ego and their ego becomes bigger, more arrogant, pompous. They believe they are above this world when they are not. They believe that if you help someone, if you take care of others, have a career, a profession, leave this world better for being here, that you are too involved in the world. 

Nothing could be further from the truth. You must take care of someone other than yourself, rise above self- obsession, surrender your bad habits. Do not be like the person who said they can watch x rated movies because they are 'consciousness', it does not matter. That they can hurt animals, have a bad tempter, bother other people, yell at people while their driving, then go home and meditate. Discuss spiritual concepts. This is the opposite of what we are teaching. You wish to had a direct experience of the love, the bliss, the unimaginable beauty of The Supreme, God. You cannot do this while you are hurting people, thinking you can get away with something. You cannot get away with anything for the Lords of Karma are always watching. The Heart of God sees all. And you will reap what you have sown in due time. Why not become loving, holy, peaceful, now? 

On The Topic of Evil in This World 

 For example, many people ask me, is there a power of evil in this world? Now that is a very interesting question. For it is very popular among intellectual pundits, theorists, spiritual experimenters, to become very pompous, superior. They will answer, 'there is no evil, there is no duality, it is all in your mind-it is all one.' Of course, this is incorrect. The duality is in the material plane. In the contortions of the human mind into vile activities, thoughts. It is in God, in Ultimate Reality, in your natural True Self, that there is only Good, and this is all there is in eternity. Now on earth, it is entirely different. On earth, you are under the laws of karma, and this is precise in order to hasten unfoldment. As you choose loving kindness, cling to goodness, your karma softens. Always trust in the Supremacy of Goodness. You are not here on this earth, in this embodiment, to say, “Oh, it does not matter what I do, good and bad are duality.” This is the ego. The pomposity of the human mind. You are fooling yourself, for The Supreme, Ultimate Reality is where you wish to be. This is who You really are. And in Truth there is only Good. In this world, the laws of right action deem that one performs and engages only in actions of Good.

If one ignores the suffering of others, aggression towards others, cruelty, using spiritual words to say they are ‘unattached’, thinking you are above this by being cold hearted, you are mistaken. In this universe, there are a myriad of planes, levels, but your focus is on rising to the Ultimate, The Supreme. Yet this is not as it sounds. Does this mean there are not beautiful angelic heavenly realms, advanced realms of peace, compassion, love, holiness? Of course, there are, this earth is a so called lower plane of consciousness. Therefore, on this earth, you have man’s inhumanity to man, selfishness, vile activities, anger, aggression, all of those lower attributes that create immense suffering. When one participates in these actions, one activates this so called ‘energy’ and becomes enslaved to it, believing that they are in control. In actuality, they are enslaved. For they must express anger, jealousy, gossip, meanness, selfishness, each time it appears. They have incurred a bad habit. And the pull of this habit is controlling them. What reality are you expressing? Obeying? Therefore, when we ponder the question, is there evil in this world, we must be very honest. This world of duality is not the world of the Self, therefore The Supreme has no other qualities but Goodness. Duality always offers us a choice on this earth. And that is why we are here.

When we are engrossed in God, in love, in compassion, in peace, we are complete. There is no 'choice'. Then, to whom does the choice occur? Your human self. And you are in a human body to surrender. Surrender the human self to the divine Self. The Eternal Self. The Bliss-Full Self. The selfless Self. The Light of a Thousand Suns. This power will then guide your life, protect you. Spiritual giants will come to your aid. 

Therefore, do not become vacant, passive, thinking you are going with the flow. You must be strong in Truth, Scrutinize your actions carefully. Are your actions, your words, your heart, pure, full of loving kindness? This world teaches that aggression, pomposity, hidden actions will 'win. something. Quite the contrary. Do not seek self-aggrandizement, or you will be subject to the lessons of this earth, suffering. You are of the eternal. Therefore your actions reflect the love of the Eternal that is unchanging, ever perfect. If you choose to follow your capricious mind, your human ego-not taking care of yourself, your hygiene, your loved ones, your house, your belongings- but in bothering other people, being angry, hurting others, believing that you can get away with something in this world, you are under a different energy so to speak. All negativity, all vile actions emit your state of consciousness. And people of that consciousness are attracted to this. Those of a holy consciousness are attracted to holy people, actions, thoughts. They wish to better themselves. 

 So, when you ask, is there evil in this world, know that this is indeed a world of duality so to speak. Yet there is only one eternal Supreme, God, in which there is no darkness. One primary evil we see is the product of the human contorted deluded mind.   It attracts its likeness. Darkness attracts darkness. You must not fool yourself and think that your actions, your motivations, your intentions are not creating a precise karmic reaction. You use your free will to indulge in such vile actions, you simply become enslaved by the karmic repercussions. You attune to darkness, by your actions. You believe that you are ‘getting away with something’ , the delusion that you won something, and this goes on and on, until you stop such actions. 

 Good is God. Good is the nature of the Self. God is eternal, unchanging, all expanding. The good things in this world reflect Truth. They reflect a shimmer of Eternal Truth, The Supreme, for they are the nature of Omniscient Ultimate Reality. God. Cling to goodness in this world. Do not think you are above this. If you think that you can participate in vile activities, man’s inhumanity to man, that you can get away with something, you are fooling yourself. Remember, you are either consciously accelerating your spiritual unfoldment, or you are not. For since you are under law of karma, the law of eternal happiness, the law of freedom from enslavement to the bondage of suffering, you are simply creating immense future suffering. 

As we say, the heart of God sees all. When you watch a vile movie participate in vile, rude, arrogant, conversations, activities, you are aligning yourself with the core of Maya Delusion. Suffering results. When you align your consciousness with the Goo in this world, selfless service, alleviating the suffering of others, leaving this world a kinder place for being here, you are aligned with God. Love. Eternal Reality. You are guided. Ever protected. Even if something unfair seems to occur, you are protected because you are in divine alignment, and you will rise above it. You are not attracted to darkness, hurting other people, mean words. Darkness holds no power over you. You are blessed.  

You have risen.

THE LAUGHING CHILDRENS STATUE

Students Sharing

I retain many powerfully moving memories of two holiday festivities in Robert Adams home with inner circle students.

The first is the feeling of deep family love, Roberts light- hearted dancing with groups of children. His obvious deep enjoyment of laughter, a crowd of friends, and much 'happy noise'.

This was a little surprise as my only experience of outwardly sounding similar interpretations was a somberish superior speaking of 'silence' as a substitute for joy. So, watching

all of these adults open their hearts and enjoy rather than escape from the responsibilities and emotional connectiveness of family was life transforming. I recall that students always

gave him grandiose 'spiritual' gifts, a lot of nice statues from around the world, religious pictures and the like. My friend who introduced me gave him a little Buddha each year. He was

unusually gracious and patient with everyone. His manners were comforting. But one day I noticed there was only one, out of all of the dozens of Tibetan, Chinese and Indian

statues that he centered in a special place in his home. It was not an assumed choice. It was a white porcelain, ecstatically happy smiling ornately painted cheerfully brightly colored

laughing Buddha exuding warm bubbly joy, covered with children crawling around him and on his lap! Each child was ornately dressed, and his smile was ruby pink with laughing eyes. As I looked around the room at this teacher blowing bubbles with the children, making sure everyone was happy, dancing in a circle with toddlers, I understood. Love. Joy. Giving. Got i!

The Silence I Speak of

is the Presence of God

When I speak of The Silence, I do not mean not to talk, to be quiet. The Silence and happiness are the same. The Silence is the Presence of God. Bliss. Joy. Peace. Compassion. You can be deep in The Silence while working, laughing, playing. It is not a cessation of sound. If you are truly in the Silence, you are radiating joy. You would have no desire to tell anyone to be quiet. That is ego. Some of the most quiet people are the meanest people you will ever meet. Therefore, you wish to emanate the love, the bliss, the loving kindness of The Silence. Go deep, deep within, until you feel the peace that passeth understanding. The love that is beyond description. Peace. Peace. Peace."
