The Aletheon is a fathomless gift to the world immense in both its scope and profundity. It is a supreme masterpiece of wisdom, instruction, and Divine Self-Revelation.
During the final three years of his life, Avatar Adi Da created this scripture moved by his indefatigable impulse to 'say everything' to everyone. His work on The Aletheon ended on the very day of his passing when he called for the title page of The Aletheon and finalized the wording on that page, thereby forever bringing to a close his final great writing-labor of love.
Adi Da had written many extraordinary and comprehensive books before The Aletheon. The early years of Avatar Adi Da's active Teaching-Work were an astounding demonstration of his willingness to submit himself to ordinary egos, and to work by reflecting egos to themselves and calling egos to true esoteric practice. What is unique about The Aletheon is that it was written after that time of submission to ordinary beings had been completed, when Avatar Adi Da was demonstrating the culminating phase of his outshining revelation. In writing The Aletheon, Avatar Adi Da had utterly relinquished his previous modes of self-submission and teaching, and expressed only his own purest communication of Truth.
In summary The Aletheon includes:
* Penetrating consideration of true and false understandings of God, religion, and human existence altogether
* Adi Da's unique revelation of the Divinely Enlightened condition
* His confession of his own purpose and work
* A description of the practice he offers to all who are moved to become his devotees. The softcover edition of The Aletheon scriptural text is divided into seven volumes:
Volume One opens with Avatar Adi Da's Self-Disclosing statements relative to who he is and what the purpose of his word is. He also presents his fundamental arguments relative to conventional religion versus the true esoteric process, the primacy of devotion, and the seven stages of life.
Volume Two presents Avatar Adi Da's 'overview' statements about and definitions of the Reality-Way of Adidam including the essential essay Atma Nadi Shakti Yoga.
Volume Three includes his more extended and detailed statements about the Reality-Way of Adidam including fundamental summary statements relative to devotion, right life, and 'Perfect Knowledge'.
Volume Four includes two essential texts relating to the beginnings of the Transcendental Spiritual process; The Teaching Manual of Perfect Summaries and Hridaya Rosary.
Volume Five is devoted entirely to essays on Perfect Philosophy.
Volume Six contains many of Avatar Adi Da's most fundamental and ecstatic Communications about the 'Perfect Practice' of Adidam.
Volume Seven is the concluding volume of The Aletheon scriptural text, with a completely astounding series of Self-Confessional Divine Statements by Avatar Adi Da including The Boundless Self-Confession, and a great many more.
