It
has been My Intention to make books of My Word so profound that
the mere reading of them could convert any being on earth (or anywhere
else) from the life of ego-possession, mortality, and darkness to
the life of Divine Love-Bliss, without requiring the slightest qualification
in the case of any being that moves, or is. I am not apart or separate,
you see. Nor are you. This secret is in these books . . .

Adi Da Samraj's 23 Source Texts are the Scriptures for the Way of
Adidam, containing ultimate statements about the nature of Reality.
They are "graduate school" level studies, written in specialized,
technically precise language. They are a natural follow-on, once
one has become somewhat familiar with the Way Of Adidam through
the more introductory texts and CDs / cassettes.

You
cannot confront My Wisdom-Teaching only once a month. You must
deal with it in some form every single day, because a new form
of the ego's game appears every single day. Therefore, you cannot
have read one of My books last month and have it still be working
on your behalf, because you only remember a few key phrases. You
must continually return to My Wisdom-Teaching, confront My Wisdom-Teaching.
That is why study is so important. . . .
Understanding
arises in the midst of intense, regular, and frequent confrontation
with My Wisdom-Teaching, My Arguments, and My Instructions. The
kind of study that is required of you . . . is the continual,
daily confrontation with My Wisdom-Teaching that requires you
to observe your tendencies, your strategies, the games that prevent
your Happy enjoyment of a life of understanding. Such study requires
conscious participation, not only of mind. And, as self-observation
begins to arise in the midst of such study, you will begin to
see in yourself the flowering of understanding.
