The seventh stage Awakening Is Most Perfect Realization of Me -- and That Awakening Is Revealed and Given only by Me, in the case of My true (and most fully matured) devotees (formally practicing the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam, in the right, true, full, and fully devotional manner).

Therefore, every moment of Divine (or seventh stage) Self-Recognition of arising conditons magnifies My "Brightness" in the context of conditonal existence. And, Most Ultimately, conditional existence is (in the Divine-Self-Recognition Process of Most Perfect, seventh stage, Realization of Me) Outshined -- not as a consequence of any strategic dissociation from conditonal existence, but, rather, as the Ultimate Demonstration of the Most Perfectly Non-dissociative (and Most Perfectly Non-dualistic) Divine Self-Recognition of it.

The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam is not based on either dualistic thinking or dualistic seeking. ...The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam is always a matter of devotional (or ego-surrendering, ego-forgetting, and more and more, ego-transcending) surrender as the total presently arising structure of conditonal "self", as that total gathering of faculties (or total body-mind), in devotionally Me-recognizing (and devotionally to-Me-responding) heart-Communion with Me.

...I Am Deeper Than all your Deepest Depth.

I am Beyond all and All That is Around and Beyond you.

I Am Above all and All That is Above you.

I Am you (and all, and All) -- In The Depth and The Beyond and The Above That Inherently Transcends (but Always Already Includes) you (and all, and All).

Do Not Misunderstand Me -- I Am Not "Within" you, but you Are in Me, and I Am Not a Mere "Man" in the "Middle" of Mankind, but All of Mankind is Surrounded, and Pervaded, and Blessed by Me.

--Adi Da Samraj

Reading this statement by Adi Da made me remember a mad prophet who used to stand on the corner at 116th St and Broadway in New York City, across from Columbia University, back in the early 1960s, when Frank and yours truly were students there.

He was an old Jewish man, who called himself Yaweh Yumke, as I recall, and every day he handed out freshly printed sheafs of his mad prophecies, pronouncements, and proclamations. Almost always a group of students were gathered around him, and he would harangue them at the top of his voice in an unending stream of philosophy and abuse.

He said he was Yahweh Himself -- no less than God. The kids would humor him, argue philosophy with him, and make fun of him behind his back.

But I wonder about Frank. I think this old guy really got to him, because Frank's sounding more and more like Yahweh Yumke every day.

Remember old Yahweh Yumke, Frank? :-)
