Robert
Adams:
I
was
born
January
the
21st
in
Manhattan,
New
York.
From
the
very
beginning.
as
far
back
as
I
can
remember
when.
I
was
in
my
crib,
a
little
man
with
a
gray
beard
and
white
hair
used
to
appear
before
me
at
the
other
end
of
the
crib,
about
two
feet
tall,
and
speak
gibberish
to
me.
I
thought
this
was
normal,
and
everybody
had
that
experience.
Of
course,
being
a
child
I
didn’t
understand
anything
he
said.
It
was
only
in
my
later
years
when
I
started
to
read
books
that
I
realized
this
person
was
Sri
Bhagavan
Ramana
Maharshi.
He
appeared
before
me
until
I
was
about
7
years
old,
and
then
it
stopped.
Then
something
very
interesting
happened
to
me.
Whenever
I
wanted
something,
a
candy
bar,
a
toy,
I
would
say
God's
name
three
or
four
times
and
it
would
appear
from
someplace.
For
instance,
if
I
wanted
a
candy
bar
I
would
say,
"God,
God,
God."
Somebody
would
bring
it
to
me
or
it
would
come
from
someplace.
When
I
went
to
school
I
never
used
to
study.
When
we
had
a
test
I
would
say,
"God,
God,
God,"
and
the
answers
would
come.
Once
I
wanted
to
play
the
violin
and
my
mother
told
me
that
it
would
be
too
hard
for
me
to
play,
so
she
wouldn't
buy
me
one.
So
I
said,
"God,
God,
God,"
and
a
few
hours
later
my
uncle
appeared,
who
I
hadn’t
seen
in
about
five
years,
and
he
brought
me
a
violin.
He
thought
I
needed
a
violin.
This
went
on
and
on
while
I
was
going
to
school.
When
I
was
14
years
old,
a
strange
phenomenon
happened.
I
was
in
my
junior
high
school
class.
There
were
about
thirty
five
children.
The
teacher's
name
was
Mrs.
Riley.
She
weighed
about
300
pounds,
and
when
she
got
angry
she
used
to
jump
up
and
down.
So,
of
course,
we
used
to
make
her
angry.
(Laughter)
What
I
would
do
was
I
would
borrow
a
bobby
pin
from
a
girl
and
there
was
a
hinge
in
the
back
of
the
seat.
I
would
stick
the
bobby
pin
in
the
hinge
and
twang
it
and
she
would
go
crazy.
She
didn't
know
where
the
noise
was
coming
from
and
she’d
jump
up
and
down;
a
very
interesting
phenomenon.
(laughter)
Anyway,
it
was
the
end
of
the
term,
and
we
were
taking
our
final
test.
This
was
a
math
test.
I
never
studied
for
it,
so
I
didn't
know
anything.
So
I
said,
"God,
God,
God."
Instead
of
the
answers
coming,
the
room
became
filled
with
light,
a
brilliant
bright
light,
a
thousand
times
more
brilliant
than
the
sun.
It
was
like
an
atomic
bomb,
the
light
from
the
bomb,
but
it
was
not
a
burning
light.
It
was
a
beautiful,
bright,
shining,
warm
glow.
Just
thinking
of
it
now
makes
me
stop
and
wonder.
The
whole
room
was
immersed
in
light,
everybody,
everything.
All
of
the
children
seemed
to
be
myriads
of
light
particles,
and
then
I
found
myself
melting,
sort
of,
into
radiant
being,
into
consciousness.
I
merged
into
consciousness.
It
was
not
an
out
of
body
experience.
An
out
of
body
experience
is
when
your
soul
leaves
your
body.
This
was
completely
different.
I
realized
that
I
was
not
my
body.
What
appeared
to
be
my
body
was
not
real.
And
I
went
beyond
the
light
into
pure
radiant
consciousness.
I
became
omnipresent.
My
individuality
had
merged
into
pure
absolute
bliss.
I
expanded.
I
became
the
universe.
The
feeling
is
indescribable.
It
was
total
bliss,
total
joy.
The
next
thing
I
remember
is
the
teacher
shaking
me.
All
the
students
had
gone.
I
was
the
only
one
left
in
the
class.
The
teacher
was
shaking
me,
and
I
returned
to
consciousness,
human
consciousness.
That
feeling
has
never
left
me.
