The Native Intuition Of What Is

SACRED HISTORY for August 15^th

1976 Adi Da Samraj Gathers in Western Face Cathedral (now Temple Adi Da) and Introduces, for the first time to the full gathering of His devotees, His “Consideration” of Divine Ignorance.

Raising up a crystal ashtray, His Divine Presence Parama-Sapta-Na Adi Da Says:

“It is spatially distinct from My hands. I have the feeling that I ‘know’ it, that I am secure around it. And I could say some things about its use, I could say some things about the elements that went into it, I could go on and on, forever.

But, after all of that is said and done, I still do not ‘know’ What it Is. What any of this Is, hm? Any of it. What is a thought? What Is it? You ‘know’? What is anything whatsoever, the whole of it? You do not ‘know’ What any of it Is. You do not ‘know’ What a single thing Is. What it Is.

All this incredible philosophizing, this entire life of seeking, this classy little life you live—you still do not ‘know’ What a single thing Is!” ~The Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary

From The Dawn Horse Testament Of The Ruchira Avatar.

“Consider” any thing, other, or conditional event, and Observe That This Is So. “Consider” The Letter “M”, For Example. Picture It In mind, or In print, or Write It Down By hand (Even many times). “Consider” All That You (as the psycho-physical self) experience or know About The Letter “M”. Do You (in mind or in body) experience or know What The Letter “M” Is? Is? Altogether and Really Is? No. And What Does This “Consideration” Reveal About You (as the Presumed and Presumptuous body-mind-“I”)? Indeed, What Is the body? What Is the mind? What Is “You”? Through Such “Consideration”, Feel and Be The Feeling Of This “Ignorance” Itself. That body-Transcending, mind-Transcending, and ego-Transcending Feeling-Ignorance Is The Native Intuition Of What Is (and Of The Only One Who Is).

The conventional subject-object Illusion (or The Common Illusory Presumption That Characterizes the conditional self) Is The Presumption That whatever arises Is Already (or Certainly Can Be) Really experienced or known. The conditional self Is Commonly Presumed To Be a knower—but, In Truth, the conditional self Is Inherently Ignorant. All conditional, perceptual, experiential, conceptual, or conventional knowledge Is Founded On The False Presumption That conditional forms or events Are Familiar. In Fact, Only Certain Formal Features Of arising phenomena Seem Familiar (Due To Repetition), Whereas (In Truth) no thing, being, or condition (or Even the conditional self itself) Is Familiar (and, Thus, Already and Completely and Really known).

Conditional knowledge and experience (or conceptual mind and psycho-physical experience In General) Are Based Upon The Illusion (or The Illusory Psychology) Of Familiarity, or The Constantly Asserted Presumption That “I” (as the egoic body-mind-self) know What this or that Is”. How Can This Presumption Be True? Only a moment Of “Consideration” Will Reveal That the conditional “I” Does Not (and Cannot) know What any thing or conditional event or Even the conditional self (or ego-“I”, or self-Contraction) itself Is (Altogether, Really, and Ultimately).
