I thank you for coming back with more engagement in this conversation. I affirm that Adi Da appears to have some very wise things to say about life, while rejecting his claims to divinity.

You are, however, engaging in a fundamental misunderstanding of deconstruction. Deconstruction (as far as anyone can define it) is not so much a stripping away of illusions as it is about pointing out the contradictions and instabilities within every determinate conception of truth, exposing us to the undecidability that is the condition of every decision. The stripping away of illusions is an old Enlightenment chestnut (think Kant) but deconstruction shows that everything has a bit of illusion woven into it.

Oh, and I’m a Canadian.

What then are Adi Da’s qualifications, and what is His perspective.
He IS the Divine Conscious Light Incarnate in a human form, for real right now in 2007-2008 — -not 2000 years as the mythological “jesus”.

He speaks from and as the “perspective” of the Divine Conscious Light. Again this is “impossible” for us westerners. See.

I came across your blog via a browse on What Would Jesus Deconstruct. The answer is of course everything about pharasaical (false)religion. And most, if not all, of what is called religion in this day IS false. See for instance.

This necessary deconstruction of ALL of our illusions is exactly what Adi Da has done.

In some sense Adi Da’s essays seem to be mere statements, but all of His writings are precisely argued and reasoned and Adi Da invites/demands that people consider His arguments thoroughly. He has always quite explicitly stated — -do NOT believe anything that I say — -thoroughly study and consider my written word and really find out if it is true.

You state that the ID movement offers arguments, which they do. But they are false arguments and essentially dishonest too, concealing a hidden, essentially dark, even totalitarian, agenda.

The title Total Truth bears witness to this possibility. We “possess” the “only truth” and we are going to do whatever it takes to re-create USA culture after our own image. And look at their politics and cultural affiliations altogether.
They have nothing whatsoever to do with Real God or the Divine Conscious Light.

I do find myself in disagreement — often profoundly — with much contained in those links. I browsed through #4, and by my reading it would fall under the same indictment from what I shared as the ID movement does. Not only this, but at least the ID movement provides some arguments… all I see here is simple assertions.

Still, I’m wondering, what do you find attractive about these writings? What is it that causes you to offer them up on a blog like this? I’m curious…
