Adi Da Samraj: Cheech's Story

[LoveJoyPeaceComfort]

why did adi da say that Satan must be restored to heaven from whence he fell?

[MrCuntyballs2U]

One of the meek

[Countrychiddler]

What's with the Bubber stuff.

[whitemichelleruth]

Who are the musicians? Beautiful video... Cheech once told me this story. He would visit me in my home and share the Heart of Being.

[jamesgroome]

yes we are all mirrors to and of each other. I am reminded again and again. The Guru is a mirror too.  I remember reading The Knee Of Listening when I had to live in a group home long ago. It played a big part of my recovery. & plus my old friend Ray Cooper introducing me to the word of Adi Da (Franklin Jones) LOve and Brightness! ~Bluebell (James Groome- North Carolina)

[rubendoesvegas]

Lots of love and grace to his passing, his family, and all who knew and loved him... Great story

[Chandirah]

Yes, Cheech passed away yesterday (12th) at 3.20pm CA time. He will be much, much missed.

I was lucky enough to spend some time with Cheech a few years ago when he spent a year living in Seattle, and I got to hear some amazing stories from him, about his life with Adi Da.

I would say 'God Bless' but that has always already been the case. He lived a much Blessed life.

[mariweemam]

Very sad to hear of Cheech's passing Nov 12/09. His stories have been an insipration and I know he will be dearly missed. May his transition be swift and easeful and he rests once again in the embrace of His Divine Presence Parama Sapta- Na Adi Da Samraj.

God speed Cheech!!

[bruceleeC64]

I dont really believe people can see God, God has to be lived....of course lots cannot see God

[Chandirah]

There is nothing which is not God, no matter what people personally make or don't make of Adi Da.

How could anything or anybody not be God?

The Guru is a mirror. I see God. And that's enough for me.

[jimmyaloha]

Well, to begin, God is Soul, and Soul is God. Not the soul that is in the created man, but the Soul that is Deity and self-existent, without beginning or ending, and Whose entity is the one great fact in the universe of being.

God is back of force and principle and law, which are only expressions of His being, and which without Him could not exist; and they are only existences, changeable, dependent and subject to the will of God, who only, is Being.

[VeggiePower303]

I agree.

That wasn't so hard. . .

Now about my first question.

What spherian are you?

And how would you describe that state of consciousness?

Thanks

[jimmyaloha]

I was an early follower of Da ...when he was still called Bubba...sat in satsang with him a few times too...

and realized I didnt need him at all ...That he was NOT GOD..nor are you and I as we did not create ourselves or this world ... He was a very smart sixth spherian guru ... I'll give him that ...and he could manipulate energies ..for sure. God's Love is so much easier than his nonsense ....which is endless intellectual considerations. God's Love is direct

[VeggiePower303]

If you are only open to the intellect than, that will be all that you can percieve.

Adi Da is bliss incarnate.

Now and for ever.

[cosmicjazzer]

Interesting comment! What is meant by 'sixth spherian guru'?

[Pedantish]

@jimmyaloha I'm afraid to ask what a spherian is. You obviously needed to be in Adi Da's direct company to find out that you are not yet ready for What He has to offer. His teaching is useless to most people. Most people want a great adventure with lots of lights and roller coasters. Adi Da is for those who have some basic understanding of the futility of the search. It sounds obvious and a truism but you either get Adi Da's argument or you don't and you don't. No big deal. Some day maybe.

:)

[m0VEoNuP]

Da is Dead.....Long Live Da

Always Already The Case

Now it will begin

[jaymacone]

Alas, Da has died. Become part of all of us, as He has been. He is in Heaven now, November 27, 2008

[TadRapidly]

Thank you, Chandira, and Cheech, and Adi. Andrew

[willemhilarius]

Thank you very much Cheech.

Your story has touched me deeply

Willem- Netherlands

[Chandirah]

Thanks for the comment Willem!

[Gearhart8]

beautiful story, thanks for sharing, we all carry pain and hurt and your story is conforting.

[IamThatyam]

You can't even find the couple of long vids of Da speaking like ya used to.

Eckhart Tolle and everyones favorite fortune cookie sayings are available more than this great teachers teachings.

Hello this is the way we access information nowadays!

Shame on Adidam for dropping the ball so badly on this.

[Chandirah]

There will be more very soon! Thanks for the comment! :-)

[Chandirah]

You might want to look for new videos by realityway and Adidam Videos, there have been some new uploads recently! :-)

[realpianistcomposer]

Thanks for sharing that! I'd not heard that particular story from Cheech. Beautiful.

[Chandirah]

Cheech has a lot of great stories, we should see if he will tell a few more! :-)

[Chandirah]

Sorry, I accidentally removed your comment Natalia, I meant to remove mine, I made a typo.

I was going to say "peace out, people", let's all be happy we all want to see more of Adi Da! That's a good thing.

[Jaybird040]

How dare you advocate for peace Chandirah?

Don't you know these are war times we live in!

LOL Just kidding.

It was your readings Chandirah that got me started here, which are beautiful as are you. I came across Da briefly years ago but this time I'm paying attention.

Thank you for that.

[Chandirah]

That means more than you can imagine. Thank you for letting me know. :-)

[Jaybird040]

That's great nathal.

Now when you're done "bathing in the silence of his Darshan." Maybe you can provide something for us scholars of Consciousness who don't want to worship anything.

Thanks.

[nataljathomen]

You worship yourself. Welcome to the club, scholar.

[Jaybird040]

I've been coming to the Utube every day for months now looking for Adi Da recordings...and every day I'm dissapointed.

One would think at Daist headquarters they would have gotten the impression by now that there is a swell of interest in hearing this brilliant man speak. Readings and second-hand stories don't cut it.

[Bellydeep9]

Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[witness108]

Sorry for your dissapiontment, more excerpts are coming, but as with many things so much to do so little time, but there are 5 new talks full length out on dvd, and we have put out an audio podcast series, look up Adi Da on itunes there are nine talks there.

[theraynstorm]

You all do know there a are Adi Da recordings ALL OVER Youtube. You have but to type in his name......

[jbrandonvalentine]

I have to type in his name?

Wow, that's brilliant theraynstorm.

What would I do without you?

I've heard and seen every recording of Franklin, Bubba, Da on the world wide web.

[theraynstorm]

Well, well ,well! How blessed and fortunate are you???!!! Jai!

Funny how you are one of the few who can't find more.

Why don't you pray about it? You poor, unfortunate soul, you.

[realnoid]

Is Cheech in the black and white part

of the video? I look at the final scenes

every night before mediation. Want to

thank you, Chandirah.

[realnoid]

I meant the greeting part of the video.

[Bellydeep9]

What a beautiful Darshan at the end....

[gardnjw]

Awesome! As usual you always find the most interesting material to post... I am not always so resistant (RE: the realnoid comment) to the nice images... keep them coming, Thanx!

[sageleeone]

Very touching!

thanks for posting.

Sage lee One

[Chandirah]

Thanks for the comments guys! :-) Glad to hear you like it.

Realnoid, that's what is so special about Cheech. No fluff. Very down to earth. He's really lived an amazing and intense life. I'm lucky enough to have heard a number of stories from him. :-)

[realnoid]

Touching story. This story kinda clears up or explains

some doubts that I had. I am resistant to the nice images,

pictures and colors. They are meant to have an effect.

Speaking of which, those final scenes do have their

desired effect.

[jonobono]

Full of feeling, thankyou for posting.

Da!

[UnificationNow]

very beautiful story, thanks for sharing
