January 2005 Enactment
Review of The Mummery Book

The Mummery Book takes on the most formidable task: to reveal the usual egoic games humans play with each other and with themselves. It cuts through the fabrics of self-delusions with penetrating humor, touching imagery, divine language, and spirited execution. "All the world's a stage..." and The Mummery Book undresses not only the Play but each of us. In participating in the occasion of The Mummery Book, you don't merely watch a performance, you are pulled inside out and shown to be a mummer, a fake, a poseur. Be forewarned: this is NOT entertainment, it is a sacred ordeal.

Given the profundity of such naked revelation, one can only ask, "Who could write such a masterpiece?" Only someone utterly free of every human conceit, only someone awake to the dream of life, only a God-Realizer. Indeed, Avatar Adi Da is free and awake. As we watch His Mummery Book Revelation, we are enfolded into His Play and inundated with penetrating wisdom and liberating force. It is not exaggeration or hyperbole to say that The Mummery Book is the human pinnacle of liturgy, ceremony, and theatre for it not only touches the divine, it is Full as a masterful divine embrace.
