St. Helena 4-23-17


Fred C. , Brian K? , Matt D., and Grant H, left to right, Scott H., didn't make the photo.  On launch getting ready to fly.  Strong cycles with some building winds but everyone got off ok.
Looking North toward Cobb Mt with the top of St. H. below.  I think I topped out around 5600' but the lift and air was a little rowdy in places.   The cloud streets were not looking like they would hold together in the 15to 18mph winds so I stayed local.
This is from the south side of Knights Vly looking toward Healdsburg and Lake Sonoma. The lift was better over there and the winds weren't as ratty as over the peak.
Got to 5800' under the street up behind Safari West.  Sonoma County Airport behind my side wire in the distance.

 Looking toward Rincon Ridge and Spring Lake in the distance.   Could have flown to Rincon Vly easily but with the gusty NW winds choose not to.
Calistoga from the same area, pretty shot looking down Napa Vly.
Back toward St. Helena and Knights Vly
Tried for an out and return to the divide between Knights and Alexander Vlys, pushing a head wind.  Got a little past half way after working some lift and losing ground as I circled up.   Ran out of altitude so with a little over 2200' left in reserve, turned and blasted downwind back to Janes.
Had a ok landing with a little runin with a cow pie freshlly made but walked over to the water trough and cleaned up.   A sweet day with the crew and some good spring flyin. Everyone had all the airtime they wanted.  Thanks Grant for coming out and driving for us.   The field has lots of lupine this year. Mt. St. Helena launch in background.

St. Helena, Airgasm 2 for (You).

Un-Enlightened human beings are characteristically involved in trying to find out if there is "Something Greater" in life, so that they can "feel better" about conditionally apparent existence. Such people are always looking to the body-mind complex and the physical universe to provide "proof" that there is "Something Greater". Neither the body-mind complex nor the entire realm of conditionally manifested appearances is the Source-Position in Which you, in Reality, Stand.  In Reality, you Stand in the Position of Consciousness Itself, not in the position of the conditionally apparent cosmos. If you are established profoundly in the Position of Consciousness Itself, you will Realize Its True Status--and, therefore, the True Status of all conditionally apparent beings, things, and events.
In the Most Perfect Stand of Consciousness Itself, there is no "me", no "someone" egoically "self"-identified with the body, no "subjective" awareness "somewhere inside" (being confronted by the "outside world" of apparently "objective" conditional manifestation).
In the Most Perfect Stand of Consciousness Itself, you Realize (Directly and Intrinsically, by means of My Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Grace) that you Stand in the Indivisible Domain of Infinite Energy--and you Realize that every conditionally apparent being, thing, and event is simply an apparent modification of Infinite Energy.
In the Most Perfect Stand of Consciousness Itself, you do not even encounter the body--except as an apparent modification of Infinite Energy.
In contrast, from the egoic "point of view" of the first three stages of life, the body is encountered as solid "stuff", solid "me".
From that "point of view", the body is not encountered as an apparent modification of Infinite Energy. Rather, in the "disposition" of the first three stages of life, the body is the "point of view" from which even Consciousness Itself is examined.
From that "disposition", all references that are made to Consciousness Itself are made from the "point of view" of egoic "self"-identification with the body. All of that is, itself, an intrinsically false view of conditionally apparent existence.
You must have a right understanding of conditionally apparent existence. In the Position of Self-Existing Consciousness Itself, everything that arises to Consciousness Itself is "Perfectly Known" to be a merely apparent,  non-necessary, and intrinsically non-binding modification of the Self-Radiant Energy of Self-Existing Consciousness (or of the One and Indivisible Conscious Light That Is Reality Itself).
Even the most solid forms are only apparent modifications of Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Energy  (or Conscious Light). From the Position of Consciousness Itself, This Is Intrinsically Self-Evident.
In contrast, from the "point of view" of the body-mind-complex, it is not at all Self-Evident What the Status of individual conscious awareness Is, or What the Status of any thing, or any conditionally apparent state of being, Is.
From the "point of view" of the body-mind-complex, everything is just "stuff", "thingness", "seperateness"--or all of mere "self" and "not-self.
Apart from Most Perfect Divine Self-Realizaion, the Divine Status of conditionally apparent existence is not intuited or presumed.
In the Position of Consciousness Itself, It Is Intrinsically Self-Evident That There Is Only Consciousness Itself In and As the Indivisible Domain of Infinite Energy.
All kinds of beings, things, and events are arising conditionally, but they are only apparent modifications of the Self-Radiant Energy of Self-Existing Consciousness--or Divine and One and Indivisible and Perfectly egoless and Perfectly Acausal Conscious Light.

This Is "Perfect Knowledge".

This Is the "Knowledge" That Is Most Perfect Divine Enlightenment.

May You Realize the Grace of This Truth, the relationship with Adi Da Is the means of This Realization, of this I'm perfectly certain.
