Synopsis

The Aletheon is a fathomless gift to the world immense in both its scope and profundity. It is a supreme masterpiece of wisdom, instruction, and Divine Self-Revelation.
During the final three years of his life, Avatar Adi Da created this scripture moved by his indefatigable impulse to 'say everything' to everyone. His work on The Aletheon ended on the very day of his passing when he called for the title page of The Aletheon and finalized the wording on that page, thereby forever bringing to a close his final great writing-labor of love.
Adi Da had written many extraordinary and comprehensive books before The Aletheon. The early years of Avatar Adi Da's active Teaching-Work were an astounding demonstration of his willingness to submit himself to ordinary egos, and to work by reflecting egos to themselves and calling egos to true esoteric practice. What is unique about The Aletheon is that it was written after that time of submission to ordinary beings had been completed, when Avatar Adi Da was demonstrating the culminating phase of his outshining revelation. In writing The Aletheon, Avatar Adi Da had utterly relinquished his previous modes of self-submission and teaching, and expressed only his own purest communication of Truth.
In summary The Aletheon includes:
* Penetrating consideration of true and false understandings of God, religion, and human existence altogether
* Adi Da's unique revelation of the Divinely Enlightened condition
* His confession of his own purpose and work
* A description of the practice he offers to all who are moved to become his devotees.

The softcover edition of The Aletheon scriptural text is divided into seven volumes:

Volume One opens with Avatar Adi Da's Self-Disclosing statements relative to who he is and what the purpose of his word is. He also presents his fundamental arguments relative to conventional religion versus the true esoteric process, the primacy of devotion, and the seven stages of life.

Volume Two presents Avatar Adi Da's 'overview' statements about and definitions of the Reality-Way of Adidam including the essential essay Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga.

Volume Three includes his more extended and detailed statements about the Reality-Way of Adidam including fundamental summary statements relative to devotion, right life, and 'Perfect Knowledge'.

Volume Four includes two essential texts relating to the beginnings of the Transcendental Spiritual process; The Teaching Manual of Perfect Summaries and Hridaya Rosary.

Volume Five is devoted entirely to essays on Perfect Philosophy.

Volume Six contains many of Avatar Adi Da's most fundamental and ecstatic Communications about the 'Perfect Practice' of Adidam.

Volume Seven is the concluding volume of The Aletheon scriptural text, with a completely astounding series of Self-Confessional Divine Statements by Avatar Adi Da including The Boundless Self-Confession, and a great many more.

Over 2300 pages, The Aletheon is available in two editions: a single-volume hardcover edition and an eight-volume softcover edition (including the volume of reference materials). The contents of the two editions are identical including the full text of The Aletheon, over one hundred photographs of Avatar Adi, a full biography, and extensive reference materials. Both editions come in a beautiful slipcase adorned with a stunning logo-image, created by Avatar Adi Da Samraj.

About this title

About the Author

On November 27, 2008, Adi Da Samraj, departed from the body. He passed on to humankind a legacy of inexhaustible profundity and limitless Blessing-Power. Adi Da's primary gift is his own Eternal Transcendental Spiritual Being. The primary purpose of his human lifetime was to establish the means by which any and all beings could be truly connected to him and in devotional communion with him. Thus, he worked with utmost intensity, throughout his entire life, to develop and establish his Transcendental Spiritual Way.

Adi Da's literary, philosophical, and practical writings consist of over sixty published books including The Knee of Listening, his Spiritual Autobiography, The Dawn Horse Testament, his magisterial revelation of the entire Spiritual Process from beginning to end, and The Aletheon, his final (and first and foremost) book. In addition to his writings, Adi Da gave thousands of hours of recorded discourse. Many discourses have been published by The Dawn Horse Press on CD and DVD.

Adi Da was a prolific artist, producing a remarkable body of work in different media. He was invited to show his work in a solo exhibition at the 2007 Venice Biennale, and also as part of the 2008 Winter in Florence and his work will be shown in New York. Among the publications of Adi Da's art are The World As Light, Transcendental Realism, and The Spectra Suites.

Another dimension to Adi Da's far-reaching legacy is the social wisdom embodied in his book Not-Two Is Peace. In it he calls for the establishment of a Global Cooperative Forum that mobilizes 'everybody-all-at-once' on the basis of recognizing the prior (or inherent) unity of the entire human family. He proposes that such a forum is the necessary and effective means for addressing the world's most pressing issues.

Adi Da Samraj has spoken directly to the heart of our human situation--the shocking gravity of our brief and unbidden lives. Through his words I have experienced a glimmering of eternal life, and view my own existence as timeless and spaceless in a way that I never have before.
---Richard Grossinger, author, Planet Medicine; The Night Sky

My relationship with Adi Da Samraj over many years has only confirmed His Realization and the Truth of His impeccable Teaching. He is much more than simply an inspiration of my music, but is really a living demonstration that perfect transcendence is actually possible. This is both a great relief and a great challenge. If you thirst for truth, here is a rare opportunity to drink.
Ray Lynch, composer and musician, Deep Breakfast; The Sky of Mind

Adi Da Samraj and his unique body of teaching work offer a rare and extraordinary opportunity for those courageous students who are ready to move beyond ego and take the plunge into deepest communion with the Absolute. Importantly, the teaching is grounded in explicit discussion of necessary psycho-physical evolution and guides the student to self-responsibility and self-awareness.
---Elisabeth Targ, M.D., University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine

That God can, among other things, actually incarnate in human form once seemed unbelievable to me. But reading the books of Avatar Adi Da obliterated all doubt about the existence of God right now, here on Earth in human form.
