It is important to understand that in the early years there was so little understanding of Adi Da, even among his enthusiastic devotees, or of the difficulty of establishing a new Dharma, that he had to continuosly meet peoples naive expectations, in order to keep the Sangha engaged.He acted as a comedian, a shaman,a philosopher, a party guy and everything else that was necessary to attract his devotees.
What is amazing is that he never compromised his teaching at all. It is always the same.

Beautiful response. Masterful. I showed What Is Sin? to my mother, and she had the same "too much laughter" response to the audience. She is very smart, yet she somehow decided the audience was laughing AT the mentally insane. (Narcissus, lighten up, you're going to kill my mother).

"What is not sin then?... It is to 'meet the mark' or worship the Living God..not with ritualism and belief, but through communion....through feeling and breathing...through the Life of Love....Love communion...intimately associated with one's own very existence"

You were correct .. I didn't listen and was thinking Judeo-
Christian. Sorry.

@Mousler100 Please listen to the talk before replying! :-)
There are fewer people whose view accomodates as many life choices as Adi Da's does.
Your reaction is not to Adi Da's view but to the Judeo-Christian view of sin (which is all about not doing this or that behavior). That's not Adi Da's view of sin! Adi Da's view of sin is "that which separates you from God / that which makes you un-Happy". To not "sin" is to be restored to Happiness, which is what we all really care about.

Thank you Adi Da for that sharing.

His realization is so strong that he could afford to relate to his devotees like the insane people that we were! For a period of time. He did this dance of self reflection.

Sin is violation of YHVH's law. Fortunately the law applies only to Bronze-Age desert nomads. "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law" Romans 3:19 And a very good thing, too, as the law results in more sin. "The law came that sin might ABOUND." Romans 5:20 As I am NOT a Bronze-Age desert dweller, the law has nothing to do with me. Therefore I am without sin. "Where there is no Law, there is no sin." Romans 4:15 The Bible tells me so.

Timeless Wisdom and Communication. Whenever I click play on a video of Adi Da its as though He comes to life for Real in that moment, it has no "old" feeling about it what-so-ever.
He Is Everywhere Alive, down the corridors of time and beyond.

Not! I've sat and laughed with Adi Da many times. Perhaps you don't laugh much yourself . . . but in fact, people enjoy having a good time, whether with their spiritual master (particularly if he happens to be telling jokes :-) ) or with their friends or family. If I laugh at my Uncle Ernie's jokes (good or bad), it's not because I'm being a sycophant, but because I love him, enjoy his company, and delight in contributing to the enjoyable time with the energy of my own laughter.
