THE MYSTERY OF ROBERT ADAMS, NICOLE ADAMS, AND THE INFINITY INSTITUTE.

Robert rarely ever talked about his recent past in the United States. he talked about his travels in India, his time with Ramana, with Yogananda, Muktananda, and his childhood events, and sometimes even mentioned distributing pirated audiotapes in Hawaii, or mentioned abandoning a sangha in Santa Fe years ago when he called himself Empty Mind.

But he rarely talked about meeting Nicole or their life together, the foster children they raised, or where he lived prior to coming to L.A., except that he came to L.A. to be with Nicole and daughters from a remote cabin he had in Oregon.

Nicole wrote a book supposedly about her life with Robert, but there are no dates or places named, and no photos of her or Robert in it.

She, and Infinity threatened to sue anyone who posted Robert’s photos on the Internet, and somehow a mysterious figure named Blake Warner appeared and came to head the Robert Adams Infinity Institute and began copyrighting all of Robert’s works and kept threatening to sue me for anything that I  posted about Robert.

If you see the early editions of Follow Your Heart and other books by Robert, there is an acknowledgement section as well as a list of regular attendees to Satsang.  Neither Nicole or Blake Warner are ever mention.  I posted these books on my earlier website, and was threatened with lawsuits many time by either Nicole or lawyers hired by Infinity.

Nicole even publically denied I ever existed even though I posted an audio tape where she congratulated me for my very accurate portrayal of who and what Robert was at the time (1994).

Our Sangha urged Robert to get on Social Security, but he said he wanted nothing to do with the government and had never registered with the Social Security Administration, yet three years later when we went to a dentist to get dental work done, the application required a SS#, and Robert rattled it off.

Mary Skene and I thought this all added up to Robert and Nicole not wanting to be found due to something that happened in the past involving credit, money, or a lawsuit.

Recently it has come to my attention that Robert Adams and Nicole Adams may have been pseudonyms, and this is being looked into.  Someone has surmised that Blake Warner too is a pseudonym as no address or phone number is ever given for the Infinity Institute, or Blake or Melanie Warner, or for Nicole Adams.

People buy items from the Infinity website and send checks to various P.O. boxes, and the location of Infinity, Blake, Melanie, and Nicole remain hidden. 

According to Nicole, Robert never left her side for their entire marriage, yet Robert said he traveled in India for 17 years, some of those years during the time they supposedly were married.  Also, he said he was living alone in a cabin in Oregon when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and then moved to L.A. to be with family.

None of this touches the legitimacy or power of Robert’s teachings, but it does point to the actions of someone who was very much involved in the world, a wheeler-dealer in a way, that was hiding from his past, and even though he constantly preached that the world was not real, that no one existed, and all that there was, was Consciousness, he very effectively acted and taught in that same world that he said was illusory.

Every effort to get Blake and Nicole to supply and address or phone number has failed.  Their lawyers have not revealed it in their many threatening letters.
