The Golden Great Bright-Foreheaded Warrior
Updated: Aug 10
See below a link to a consideration presented by the "Hermitage Order of The Crazy Wisdom Fellowship" in 1981 (published in the book "I" Is the Body of Life)
The consideration is as pertinent today as it was 43 years ago!
The very essence of spiritual practice as taught by the Divine Master Da Free John is the necessity of a direct and right relationship to the Spiritual Master. All the sacred teachings of the Great Tradition regard “Satsang,” “Holy Communion,” “the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha,” or the Good Company of true devotees, to be the highest means for realizing the Truth. To understand the root of the Siddha Master Da Free John’s Teaching Argument and thus realize the essence of Satsang, we must critically review the history of our own spiritual practice and that of the world’s great traditions.
The Master describes Satsang in The Method of the Siddhas:
Satsang literally means true or right relationship. It is commonly used to refer to the practice of spending time in the company of holy or wise persons. One can also enjoy Satsang with a holy place, a venerated image, the burial shrine of a saint, or with the Deity. Da Free John uses the term in its fullest sense to signify the relationship between a genuine Siddha-Master [and thus the Divine Person, the Maha-Siddha] and his devotee. That relationship is seen to be an all-inclusive condition, effective at every level of life and consciousness.
