"You had better understand
the difference between getting to know or learning in the
sacred manner, in the Guru-devotee relationship, and getting
knowledge in the abstracted, self-contracted ego-based
manner of ordinary schooling.
If you understand something of
that difference, then you understand, or are further
sensitized to, what you must go beyond in every moment in My
Company. You will tend to use the pattern of ego-learning in
your approach to Me. You will tend to use it, therefore,
when you approach My Word, or when you approach Me in My
bodily (human) Form, or listen to Me speak. You will
approach Me in the ordinary, secular manner, the worldly
manner, and it will not serve your Realization... even
though you might find something interesting or entertaining
about it. But it won't serve the process of your
Realization... unless you understand the nature of
Guru-devotion, Guru-bhakti, Guru-bhava."

Beezone White and Orange
Project*
is a study method based on Ludwig Wittgenstein's
Blue
& Brown Books books. The
Blue & Brown Books of Wittgenstein's were dictated as a
set of notes to his student in 1934-1935.
Beezone uses a number of formats for assembling a
project. One method is called a 'Notes'. In this method
Beezone presents an essay or talk directly from Adi Da and
then will write down the highlighted points from the talk or
essay.
A second format is in 'thematic' style. Beezone will take
a 'theme' of Adi Da's teaching and go through various talks
and essays and write down a sentence or two related to that
theme or topic.
Another form or style Beezone uses is a compilation or
remix. This is a blend of the two other methods. In this
style Beezone will take a number of talks and essays based
on a theme. Beezone will then use the 'cut-up' method. The
cut-up technique is an aleatory literary technique in which
a text is cut up and rearranged to create a new text. This
method can be traced to at least the Dadaists of the 1920s,
but was popularized in the late 1950s and early 1960s by
writer William S. Burroughs, and has since been used in a
wide variety of contexts.

"I
have spent innumerable hours on the Beezone site
and I found it to be an invaluable and nearly
essential resource for perusal of the most
comprehensive array of spiritually varied topics
and discussions to be found anywhere on the
Internet. This is often times where the curious
starts their process."

Adi Da Samraj
Beezone
This is project is not to be confused with:
Humble One-Liners
DEVOTEE: It is like the left and right (or the world of
opposites).....Life is suffering, and then there is God.
ADI DA SAMRAJ: That is one way of putting it, in your
humble one-liner fashion.
Humble one-liners are sufficient for most people to
generate in them a sense of feeling consoled. They are like
teddy bears.
So a lot of people reduce the religious life to something
like one-liners that they pull out to snuggle with. But how
can one settle for that couple of sentences worth of
comprehension as the attitude of ones existence? It is a
profound matter.
The only way to save yourselves from the destiny of
religious one-linerism is to constantly and directly study
my teaching, read the great traditions, study them. Stay in
the process of this great "consideration", instead of just
sitting around and 'smoking the pipe", rapping out dharma
and consoling yourselves with your teddy bear
knowledge..."
