Tribute to my spiritual masters

I would like to thank three spiritual masters who awakened me to various illumination levels and understanding of the Great Spirit we call God.

I cannot convey enough gratitude to them as they served as guideposts along rocky and treacherous terrain to the other shore and the conversion of the heart. I could cross over from a life of self-possession, suffering, and seeking love and self-acceptance, to a life lived in love, and the way I achieved this is to realize that you are love itself. So, therefore, there is no need to find love. This revelation cures the heart of unenlightenment to enlightenment. First, Paramahansa Yogananda, for ten whole years, I called him into my life, by following his instruction, to daily call him into my spine to guide me so that he could reveal God to me; he did just that. I owe a debt of gratitude to and for him. Coming to the West and making it possible for millions to learn discipline, they could become stilled enough to precisely commune with the universal cosmic unity that everything and everyone is of, including the stars, planets, etc. He said never let anything interfere in your scientific process of God-realization. In and by this great yoga, he taught me the concentration of a single point or the Bindu. He was my spiritual Master for ten years; if I had not met him, I could not have met my true spiritual guru master. I had to prepare on so many levels. I cannot describe them all here. Succinctly, I can say under his guidance, from the spiritual plane, because he already passed out of this world, I learned discipline, balance, calmness, breath control, healthy living habits, prayer, and so many forms of healing too numerous to mention here. All of this was essential to get me ready to relate rightly to my chosen guru with true devotion. It was going to be a serving I had to have to realize the great one. One day I was browsing in a metaphysical bookstore in New Jersey, where I went for a psychic reading. Then I came across the great Master’s books; as I looked through them, one book spoke to my heart, so I bought it. I had established a connection, and in due course, as grace will have it, I became his devotee for ten whole years.

Picking up his book in a bookstore and then becoming his devotee and then finding out I had been a yogi countless times.

Next, I have two inseparable beings to thank at various times over twenty years. This spiritual growth could happen in a way that only the Great Spirit or grace could have orchestrated. I have a debt of gratitude for beloved Adi Da, capturing my heart away from the great path of return. Trying to find and then know God from seeking truth and reality. I was sick, frightened, and going insane, from manipulating energies, from sexual to spiritual back and forth, to solve all my life problems.

The day Beloved came into my existence, and I became aware of his teaching, was the holy dropping off point, whereby my search for God ended at his blessed feet. It is said in spiritual traditions, a guru or many gurus can teach you many things. Yet, there is only one guru that is your ultimate teacher, and he/she is the one that is the airplane route to God. As a result of this awareness, I recognized who he was for me. Then I was able to let go of my insane ascetical search for God. Grace itself led me to him and his human-born bodily godly form. This revelation of his human physical divine form allowed me to be able to relate to him and let go so he would be able to do the sacred yoga in my body., By giving up my whole self at his holy feet, I permitted him to purify my life, body-mind, and the ultimate karmic destiny I was heading in. He called this divine intervention, moving you from your unconscious fate of seeking, suffering and death, to a divine one of love bliss bright conscious light by the principle of attraction, love, recognition, and response to the great one.

Then there was a man that was a student of Adi Da’s, who was brought to the pinnacle of enlightenment by Adi Da.

His name is Nick Rivero. When he came into my life, I knew nothing about spiritual life and was ignorant concerning spiritual community and genuine love. Anger, fear, sorrow, of every kind people just wanted nothing to do with me, the vibe I sent out was unconscious, twisted, and maliciously muted. What I mean by this is I was a powerless being. I was furious, and it showed it would not come out all at once. It would seep out the sides moment by moment and was a colossal offense .to everyone. Before Nick, people did not even want to get to know me; it was awful. It was different from the beginning with Nick; he embraced me and loved me when no one else would. I would say or do things that moved people to abuse me and work me over, which was very painful. He saw me beyond all my limitations and bullshit. For me, he was great good spiritual divine help in the physical, and his compassion healed me of a lifetime of attracting so much garbage; my heart was able to open, and this was a forever healing. He was the one who loved me despite all my flaws; only the Divine can do this. He simply accepted me as I was in 2001in Tucson, Arizona, at a time in my life when nobody supported me.

Then he moved away in 2008 to Washington State. He awakened to a state of god realization, and he was free to live what he had realized by the grace of his spiritual Master Adi Da.

Five years later, in 2013, he invited me to live in his community of devotees.

To live with him and become free and enlightened.

I received Diksha from him every day for sixteen months.

The way that he helped me is both heartbreaking and heroic simultaneously. My spiritual life could not have unfolded as it has without my time with my spiritual Master Nick.

Then I left his blessing company, where I was able to feel divinity moment by moment. To go out in the world and, as Nick says, playing out it with all the ordinary social conventions, rules, regulations, presumptions that led to vicious and unfounded abuse at the hands of the ego. That is what I had to live once I left Nicks Ashram and his community of devotees.

Adi Da became more known to me as a result of having been with Nick. He taught me how to practice moment to moment with everything that I could encounter in my life experience. This way of practice did not happen in my first eight years in the community of Adi Da’s devotees, nor the subsequent four years on my own away from Nick and the community of Adi Da’s devotees. Nick is the one that tied together for me what real spiritual life was. I willed myself to engage a more mature approach to Adi Da than I had for the previous 14 years because of this recognition. As a result of all these years of preparation, for the next seven years, I practiced moment to moment on the living form of Adi Da. No matter what I was doing, whether I was working, doing massage, walking or eating or talking, or studying, I turned my body, breath, mind, and feeling over to my Master. I made myself available to his blessing presence and influence in my life. During this time, so many miraculous events have occurred, as you will read about in this book. The one that stands out and really, I could write an entire book about is this. I put so much attention on him that he began showing up tangibly as a guide. That now, I can feel him overshadow me all the time he is living me. It has proved that his instructions are the way, the truth, the light, and life. His direct revelation of this phenomenon has proved to this devotee that there is God. There are many things I could say about this, yet I can not explain the beauty and luminescence that has occurred in me once this happened. I might add here once I left Nick, I had to have this, or I would have perished a miserable seeker, gone to my grave, guaranteeing myself future lifetimes in this horrible place. It is unparalleled in anything I have ever known; you need great good divine help to become ultimately free. It is a new revelation given by Adi Da, not a two-, five- or six-thousand-year-old teaching, but teaching for our time and place. The freedom I am referring to is the holy bright outshining of all conditions in real God. I took all the things that Nick opened and showed me. One of the biggest things he ever said was never to shut down feeling. He always posed this question to his devotees, what concept will transfigure the body-mind and the world. The answer to that is feeling. When you are ready to feel anything and everything to infinity, you are inclined to realize God. Nick said, you are responsible for the sun rising. In this, he meant there are no victims. One of Nick’s earliest admonitions was narcissus’s way would have to be addressed by me and then overcome. There is no realization without the victim’s recognition of their actions and subsequent responsibility for the ego “I” of darkness, anger, and separation.

Then I took all that God’s grace had given me from Nick and turned to Adi Da. I now understood what true feeling was, coupled with true devotion and recognition of who Adi Da is. To make my spiritual life fruitful, beginning a connection with the living Divine would lead to my freedom, albeit a tough seven years but one that I had to take on.

Adi Da said you must trust your life processes, whether to succeed, fail to become ill, or die. As the arrow flies, it would have been better to awaken under Nick at his ashram, yet that was not to be. I had to go out on my own and trust the process of...
