Fear-No-More is spiritual master Adi Da Samraj’s Vision for a transformative relationship between humans and “non-humans” that is radically different from our usual relationship with pets, animals in conventional zoos, and even all of the natural world.
Fear-No-More is founded on the premise that non-humans (including all beings—animals, trees, rocks, sky, air, water, and even the earth), have a profound spiritual life. If rightly related to, the non-human realm shares an energy that informs and feeds our own growth, wisdom and well-being. Our conscious engagement with non-humans also supports and empowers them.
Adi Da Samraj uses the term “contemplative” to describe the profundity of disposition of non-humans that is resonant with awareness of the Divine, or God. He teaches that all of the natural world is a culture of divine contemplation. Fear-No-More provides an opportunity to observe, feel, and participate with the non-human realm in this natural state of profound divine contemplation, and, in that process, learn to be contemplative ourselves. Serving this spiritual awakening is the purpose of Fear-No-More.
Fear-No-More is comprised of the sacred environments within the various worldwide ashrams of Adi Da Samraj, which are places of devotional and spiritual access to Avatar Adi Da Samraj.
“You want never to be snuffed out, never thrown into unconsciousness, darkness, and yet somehow you are aware of your isolation and disturbance. You don’t want that. So why should you play life unconsciously, such that it produces that very thing? You have to use your discrimination, your listening to Me, to profoundly consider these matters and really choose a reorientation of life. You have to become thoroughly intelligent about it and intelligent with it.
That’s why we have Fear-No-More. Come in and get involved. Living things are there being without fear, human beings without fear, all beings without fear.
Fear-No-More is a Sacred Place. Feel what its particular components are. The more I get to do what I intend there, the more you will observe it. But even as it is, as simple as it is, it immediately awakens a certain congenial disposition in you, if you go down there sensitively of course, and free to do so.
It awakens compassion for all living beings, just being down there.
And a feeling of non-difference, of Unity. I spend a lot of time around non-humans. To Me they’re the same as human beings, in the Ultimate sense the same.
I don’t imagine them being lowly or separate, or different in any sense whatsoever. And that’s what you should realize when you go there. It’s about ‘fearing-no-more’, about going beyond the knot of separate self, being in the Condition of the Samadhi of Real-God-Communion, and, at the level of form, participating in the Great Unity.
