The Five Steps To Self Realization -

The Five Steps To Self Realization - ( PART 1 of 5 )

You are realization itself. It is your real nature. 

The reason I'm sharing these five steps with you
is because the five steps are part of the personal self. 

The ego, the I-thought, the five steps are involved in them.
When we work on the five steps in the relative world
we become ourselves, awakened and free.

The first step is: Prayer and devotion.
The second step is: Effortless No-Thought State.
The third step is: Division of Light and Sound.
The fourth step is: The Void, and,
The fifth step is: Bliss.

We'll begin with the first step.
In the beginning when one first starts out on the path and
even when one is on the path for quite a while,
prayer and meditation or prayer and devotion are very important.

You become devoted to God who is within you
and you pray to God within yourself. 

You must therefore begin to totally surrender,
give up everything to God, forget about your troubles,
forget about the world, just give it up.

The Five Steps To Self Realization - ( PART 2 of 5)

As you begin to do this you gently slip into the number two state.
The effortless no thought state. 

As you surrender everything your mind becomes completely calm. 
And you effortlessly drop your thinking mechanism. 

You sort of stop thinking.
Your mind becomes sort of a blank. 

Do not confuse this with the void.
It is a beautiful state of no thoughts. 

Let me also remind you that
you usually do not slip into that state so fast. 

It may take many years, many incarnations
just to get through the prayer and devotional state.

You have to become really devotional,
very prayerful to totally surrender your life
so that your mind becomes still, calm, peaceful.

You begin to feel profound peace.
A happiness you never felt before. 

The world no longer has any value.
You feel good most of the time.

As you continue along this path you gradually slip into the third step.
You begin to see lights and the light increases.
Whenever you close your eyes 
and even when you don't close your eyes.
The light is like the light of a thousand suns.
It appears as if the world is on fire.
Many of you have seen this.
Also you begin to hear beautiful music of the spheres.
You listen and the most beautiful music begins to play.
Sometimes you get them both.
Those are gifts of grace.
The whole universe is filled with light,
it is pure light and beautiful music sounds.
Blissful sounds come into your life.
If people do not understand this they believe this is it,
this is as far as they can go.
But it is only the beginning.

~Robert Adams - T98: The Five Steps To Self Realization

( PART 4 of 5)

As you sit in the silence and become absorbed in the light and
the sounds, you enter the void which is the fourth step. 

The void unlike the effortless no thought state is a deep joy. 

A deep love. 

You are totally free in that state. 

You look at the world, at the universe,
at your fellow man and it becomes void.
There is no thing there but a deep love, a deep peace.
Deeper then you've ever felt before.
You are still aware that you are still experiencing these states.
The void is not dark and is not light.
It has nothing to do with lightness and darkness.
It is something that you have become.
Something so wonderful, so grand,
there is no description of that feeling.
