The Rhythmic Incident of Separate Self

What is the "root" of your existence? What is the single incident that you must comprehend? There is one incident in which all of you are completely involved at this moment. You are completely aware of it. You recoil from it, and thereby create your entire life, your entire adventure, all of your "subjectivity", and the mood of your person. If you penetrated it, you would be free. What is it?
--Avatar Adi Da

Dear Friend,

You are invited to consider the extraordinary essay by Avatar Adi Da —The Rhythmic Incident of Separate Self.

Avatar Adi Da's written Teaching is His Divine Agency. Therefore, when we study His Teaching, we are gracefully brought into His Divine Space.

In this essay, Avatar Adi Da compassionately clarifies that we are believing and bound to our reaction to something that is even more primitive than sensation. This is the very last thing that we want to give up. It is even before you hear an inner sound, before you see a single vision, before you breathe the next breath. Understanding this will bring great clarity to your understanding of Truth and Reality. In this essay, Adi Da also reveals how you can be free from the bondage of being identified with a separate self.

This session includes the following:
- A video clip of Avatar Adi Da speaking
- Guided meditation
- Questions and discussion
- A recitation from Adi Da’s Word

Upon registering, you will be sent the short essay, "The Rhythmic Incident of Separate Self", so you can prepare for the event. The meeting is interactive, giving everyone the opportunity to share about their process of exploring their relationship to Adi Da.
