Sometimes you run into cults that remind you why people start cults to begin with: An abiding love of cultural appropriation; a penchant for exploiting others for sex; and the run-of-the-mill belief among white men that we should somehow be getting even more free passes than we're already getting.* Such is definitely the case this week, when Adidam, a cult started by some schmuck from Queens who stole a mishmash of eastern religious ideas and at one point called himself "Bubba Free John," and  the Divine Madness Running Club, run by Marc Tizer, a guy with a drinking problem and a penchant for ultramarathons, forced abortions, and sexual assault. Join us, won't you?*This show description was written by Brian, a white man. An insufficient number of white men were harmed during the production of this podcast.

Adi Da Samraj, was an American spiritual teacher, writer, and artist. He was the founder of a new religious movement known as Adidam. Adi Da initially became known in the spiritual counterculture of the 1970s for his books and public talks, and for the activities of his religious community. His philosophy was essentially similar to many eastern religions which see spiritual enlightenment as the ultimate priority of human life.Adi Da wrote many books about his spiritual philosophy and related matters, founding a publishing house to print them. Today we are going to have a conversation with one of his senior students, Leo Burke.Leo Burke is Professor and Director of the Global Commons Initiative at the Mendoza College of Business, the University of Notre Dame. In this capacity, he teaches courses on the commons to undergraduates, MBAs and Executive MBAs. From December 2000 through June 2008, he served as Associate Dean and Director of Executive Education. Prior to joining Notre Dame, Burke served in a variety of roles at Motorola, Inc., including Director and Dean of the College of Leadership and Transcultural Studies within Motorola University. He was a founding member of philosopher Ken Wilber's Integral Institute.In 2009 he co-founded, with Carolyn Lee and Kathy Skerritt, the Anthroposphere Institute (www.a-institute.org), an educational organization that champions the global commons through courses and action-learning initiatives. Fundamental to the work of the Anthroposphere Institute is an understanding that the commons is fundamentally an expression of prior unity or the a priori indivisibility of all life.For more information on the Well of Light Global Community, Programs, Radio shows and Services go to www.welloflight.comTo access other great interviews and offerings go to: www.patreon.com/conversationsYour donations are gratefully received and make it all possible!

As an independent producer, reporter, and sound designer, Jonathan Hirsch has produced hundreds of long-form audio works for NPR, Vox, NBC, Fusion Media Group, and many others. He is a recipient of the Green Eyeshade, Edward R. Murrow, and DuPont Awards. His 7-part documentary podcast series Dear Franklin Jones debuted #1 on the iTunes podcast charts. In April of 2018, Jonathan launched Neon Hum Media, an LA-based podcast production company, specializing in narrative-driven, high production value, “audio first” documentaries, talk shows, and partner content. Jonathan talks about the insights he gained from researching the spiritual teacher Dr. Fredrick Lenz III for his new audio documentary podcast series I Am Rama. Jonathan shares with Rachel the story behind his fascination with Lenz, also known as Rama, which begins with his parents meeting at a spiritual convention organized by Rama. By the time Jonathan was born, his parents had changed paths and became devotees of another controversial spiritual leader, Adi Da, joining his new religious group Adidam which Jonathan was born into and raised in. Before You Go: Rachel explains why victims of cults or high control relationships often go from one bad situation to the next and what measures you can take to stop the cycle of abuse and protect yourself from manipulation.

Last week, we discussed the Adidam cult who’s leader was a man that convinced people he was the embodiment of God and that, for your salvation, you had to have some rather perverted sex with him…as long as you were attractive enough.  Essentially damning ugly people to hell. This week, we’ll learn about Tracy Elise, also known as the Mystic Mother to the Priestesses of her coven. A 55-year-old mother of three, Elise would invite men and women to the Phoenix Goddess Temple to heal them through sensual massage and therapeutic tantric sex sessions. She considers herself a priestess and healer.  However, a jury in Arizona, saw it differently. Did this Temple Temptress truly teach Tantric touching? Or was the Mystic Mother just out to make money by massaging man-parts? Join us today as we meditate on the case of the Notorious Goddess Sex Temple and Its Ruling Pimp Priestess

Corey thinks the monsters in The Last of US are designed by Naughty Dog to be subtly comedic. Corey gets defensive about Jagger talking about the group public orgies of the religious movement that Corey is a part of called Adi Da. Jagger tries to talk about Spartacus: Legends, and Final Fantasy XIV but is mocked by Corey for not taking spirituality seriously.

In this discourse, a devotee asks Adi Da Samraj about her practice of Adidam as an African-American woman in a predominantly white community.

Enlightenment or God is not realized by any technique, or method. It is also not realized by or through the body or mind. The point of view of the body-mind is always from the place of separation from others and the Divine. The Way of Adidam is the ancient and acknowledged way or tacit recognition and response the Realized Adept, who has transcended the body-mind point of view. Through this time honored means true liberation is realized.

Avatar Adi Da Samraj addresses the root cause of fear which is at the core of all suffering. He speaks about the "self-contraction" or the activity of presumed identification exclusively with the separate and mortal body as the place where fear arises. Rather than avoiding the fear inherent in being a body, or try to come up with techniques to "cure it", Adi Da Samraj Calls us to understand and transcend that self-knot by identifying and the Divine Condition that is Always Already the Case and in Prior Unity to presumed separateness of the body-mind.

Adi Da clarifies that the Way of Adidam is based solely on the inherent heart-response to his spiritual state. That heart-response in feeling relationship to Adi Da leads to the self-understanding and willingness to take up the real ego-transcending practice and ultimately to the outshining of conditional appearances and separation.
