BEYOND BELIEVING — Beyond Believing is Book 1 in The Practical Spirituality Series.

Why settle for believing in God, or even for some "spiritual experiences" now and then, when the tangible, ego-melting, suffering-dissolving Revelation of Real God, pervading, washing, and dissolving "you" again and again (through a lifetime of Spiritual practice), would utterly transform your life, and fulfill your heart's otherwise unendingly unfulfilled desire for perfect happiness?

ABOUT ADIDAM — In an age adamantly committed to the viewpoint and life of materialism, Adi Da Samraj has appeared like a Storm of fresh rain in a Spiritual desert. Adi Da offers all the opportunity for Perfect Happiness through Divine Realization, by practicing the Way of Adidam.

ADI DA AND ADIDAM: PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES — This website celebrates the Life and Work of the Divine World-Teacher, Adi Da Samraj, through many personal accounts of devotees' direct relationship to Him. The site is a firsthand source of information for those who want to learn more about Adi Da and the Way of Adidam, the new Spiritual Way of life that He offers.

FIRM — The Foundation against Intolerance of Religious Minorities (FIRM) advocates the human, social, and civil rights of all religious and spiritual groups, large and small. FIRM provides education on all the varieties of prejudice, both overt and subtle, that are currently being practiced openly against many religious minorities. FIRM also chronicles the history of persecution throughout the ages of religious minorities and their spiritual leaders (including persecution of Christianity in its infancy, leading to the deaths of Jesus and many of his disciples), and it examines the origins of (and the motivations behind) such persecution.

THE INSTITUTE FOR REAL GOD — THE INSTITUTE FOR REAL GOD was created for the purpose of making genuine spirituality and spiritual practice accessible to as many people as possible. It offers a genuine alternative to the most familiar options of our time:

• conventional religion — We emphasize learning to find God for real, rather than settling for belief only, as members of many traditional religions are taught to do.
• piecemeal, "do it yourself" spirituality — Our focus is on practices that are systematic in bringing about Spiritual Realization because they are grounded in the genuine Spiritual Authority of a Spiritual Realizer. This, rather than the piecemeal, "do it yourself" practices and experiences one often finds in many "New Age" circles.
• scientific materialism — Unlike scientific materialism, we do not exclude the spiritual or the subjective from our study of Reality. We focus on spiritual practices that are based on the full nature of Reality and that can thus identify and realize the greatest human potential.

THE COTEDA INSTITUTE — When it becomes clear that human politics alone (even combined with military might) cannot bring about world peace . . . what will? The human heart has known the answer for centuries. In this darkening world, let us again allow the heart to take the lead. The COTEDA Institute provides wisdom and means for creating global progress, global agreements, and global harmony on the basis of three spiritual principles:

• The COTEDA principle: COoperation through Transcending Ego and through Divine Assistance
• The TOTEDA principle: TOlerance through Transcending Ego and through Divine Assistance
• The PECOTO principle: PEace (and global accord altogether) through self-transcending, spiritually aided COoperation and TOlerance

COMPARATIVE SPIRITUALITY 101 — This is the home page for the Comparative Spirituality Department of The Institute For Real God.

Taken together, all the great wisdom traditions around the world and throughout history offer a wide variety of views on (and experiences of) the nature of the Greater Reality and human potential in the context of the Greater Reality. On this site, we make sense of and compare the differing views. We place particular emphasis on the views of materialism, esoteric spirituality, and exoteric religion.

FIVE MINUTE LIFE CHANGERS — Got only FIVE minutes? Five minutes — spent considering the right subject in the right way — can change the course of your life.

1 2 3 GOD — The requirements of the Way can't be changed, but the Way Itself has been streamlined: the Great Path of Return (which takes eons of evolutionary time) has been replaced by the Way of God Present (in which, with Great Help coupled with strong impulse, God can be Realized even in a single lifetime). 1-2-3 GOD outlines the necessary three steps.
