DA AVATAR, DA BOMB, DA BUM 145
In 1993, Adi Da Revealed that Ramakrishna and his principal
disciple, Swami Vivekananda, are the deeper-personality
vehicle of His bodily human Incarnation (in Da, 1995).
“Ramakrishna, Part II: Return of the Booby.”
Of course, unless one is inclined to take the visions of “astral
moon cannibal slaves” on the part of “Da greatest living Realizer”
seriously, one arrives at serious concerns as to Adi Da’s mental stability.
After all, skeptics have long rightly held that even a single
instance of any given medium (e.g., Blavatsky) or ostensibly siddhi-possessing
sage being caught “cheating” in “manifesting” objects,
casts doubt on every “miracle” that had previously been attributed
to the individual. Likewise, if even one aspect of an individual’s
enlightenment has been hallucinated but taken as real,
the potential exists for it to all have been the product of delusion in
a psychiatric, not a metaphysical, sense.
So you have to ask yourself: Do you believe that there are Bmovie-like
“cannibal masters/slaves” on the astral counterpart to
our moon?
Wilber, at least, seems (in Da, 1985) to have no doubt, overall:
I am as certain of this Man as I am of anything I have written.
Well put. I, too, am as certain of Adi Da’s unparalleled enlightenment,
“astral moon cannibal slaves” and noble character as I am
of anything Wilber has ever written. We will investigate that idea
further in the coming chapters.

Over the years, Adi Da has taken credit for numerous “miracles,”
such as a “brilliant corona that stood around the sun for a full day”
(in Free John, 1974). No scientist or skeptic, though, would ever
accept such anecdotal claims as evidence of a miraculous control
over nature. And with good reason, particularly given Lowe’s
(1996) eye-witness testimony of the same “miraculous event”:
I had been outdoors all that afternoon. Not only had I seen
nothing out of the ordinary, but no one within my earshot
had mentioned anything at all about the miracle at the very
time it was supposedly happening! I was not trying to be difficult
or obtuse, but this proved too much for me. If a great
