Book Description
In "My "Bright" Word, " a new edition of the collection of classic spiritual discourses originally published as "The Method of the Siddhas," Avatar Adi Da elucidates the fundamentals of "radical" self-understanding, or "His Revelation of the Way of Adidam." These include: --The basic principle of egoic existence, the search, which Avatar Adi Da later communicated in its simplest terms: "You want to feel good--because you feel bad. Therefore, you are seeking--in order to feel good." --The essential ego-fault and the means for overcoming it: (1) Truth cannot be realized by seeking for it. The seeking itself is the problem. When there is no seeking, Truth (or Reality) is obvious. (2) Freedom (or Divine Liberation) is not dependent on any objective entity or process. Freedom (or Divine Liberation) is always already the case. --The single logic of egoic life: the logic (or process) of separation itself, of enclosure and immunity, informs every function of the living being, every experience, every act, every event. --The grace-given process of "radical" self-understanding: observe your own self-contracting activity. Understand your own self-contracting activity. Transcend your own self-contracting activity. In modern language, this volume teaches the ancient all-time trans-egoic truth, transforming the student by paradox and by example. Consciousness, understanding, and finally the awakened self are the potential rewards.

Book Description
'Bright Dead Things buoyed me in this dismal year. I'm thankful for this collection, for its wisdom and generosity, for its insistence on holding tight to beauty even as we face disintegration and destruction.' Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You A book of bravado and introspection, of feminist swagger and harrowing loss, Bright Dead Things considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact - tracing in intimate detail the ways the speaker's sense of self both shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth and falls in love. In these extraordinary poems Ada Limón's heart becomes a 'huge beating genius machine' striving to embrace and understand the fullness of the present moment. 'I am beautiful. I am full of love. I am dying,' the poet writes. Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds and Mark Doty, Limón's work is consistently generous, accessible, and 'effortlessly lyrical' (New York Times) - though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt and lived.
