F.: Persons use man-made laws (many based in ancient tales about potentially-angry gods with rigid expectations) in order to label, judge, compare, separate, and then punish. Persons use the laws of man or god to try to control (and to try to alleviate their fear of not having control). Persons use the dualities of “good-bad,” “right-wrong,” and “moral-immoral” in order to make comparisons which supposedly show that they are “good” or “better” or “the best” and to justify their self-contradictions. Thus, U.S. leaders regularly stand before microphones and declare that “America is the greatest country on earth.” Then, they can declare that “others” should not have nuclear weapons while having over ten thousand such weapons of their own. Such blatant duality and self-contradiction can happen when persons believe that theirs is a “good” country with “good” leaders while others are “bad” countries with “bad” leaders. Are you seeing the insanity and hypocrisy and ego attached to all duality and labeling? Are you seeing how persons use and abuse “good-bad,” “right-wrong,” and “moral-immoral” for personal advantage? Are you seeing how, instead of preventing chaos (as you suggested) those dualities and the laws and policies that evolve from them are used by personas to generate insanity, hypocrisy, self-contradictions, and the chaos those bring to all “relationships”? All fighting, all breaking of “relationships,” and all wars have always been preceded by the use of those dualistic terms by personas who egotistically came to believe that they are “good” and that all others not exactly like them are “bad.”

The laws of god and men are nothing more than tools used by persons lost in their ego-states who want power in order to judge, in order to control, in order to justify their abuse of power, and in order to rationalize their harmful conduct (relatively speaking). Both sets of laws—of man and of god—result in corruption and insanity because they have evolved from the corruption and insanity of contaminated consciousness. They have never worked and they shall never work. How do I know? Because I was there before man ever created the first god in his image. Because I was there when men (claiming to be special and different and better than others) first spoke of the laws of a god. Because I was there when men dreamed up the current god that persons now talk about, talk to, and claim to hear. Because I was present to witness the failure of all laws of god or man for every generation for thousands of years. And so were You, if you could remember. Please enter into the silence of contemplation.

Five Free eBooks

Compliments of Andy Gugar, Jr.,
the following eBooks are available without charge for you or for friends:

I.
"GOOD vs. EVIL?" or "IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY, and INSANITY?"

The content of this eBook deals with one of the most common but erroneous beliefs that the non-Realized masses cling to and which they will fight about (and even kill over), namely, that there is a planet-wide duel going on between “the forces of good and evil” in the universe.

Either (1) the ancient view is spot on: that the "ills of the planet" are rooted in evil people, in people not being religious enough or spiritual enough, and are caused solely by bad morality; or, (2) the "ills of the planet" are rooted in ignorance, stupidity and insanity and "being good" or "being moral" does not put an end to ignorance, does not eliminate stupidity, and does not treat insanity in any way.

II.
"THE VISION"

Comments regarding the free eBook entitled “THE VISION”:

“My thanks to you and Andy.” – Andrew “Mac” McMaster

“Thanks so much for the book! And, by the way, it is brilliant and the most effective pointing that you have done. It has served to help clear the remaining blockages.” – Stan Cross

“Greatly appreciate having “THE VISION” added to my Henderson resource library that is situated on the right side of my bed for easy access! Eternally grateful for what was received and what was given.” – Robert Rigby

“‘THE VISION’ is such a well-written, condensed version of the Nisarga Yoga approach to understanding and enjoying Reality that I feel it can serve as a must-read ‘meditation guide’ for all earnest seekers.” – Andy Gugar, Jr.

III.
"Sapolsky, Maharaj, and the Non-Dual Teachings"

Dr. Robert Maurice Sapolsky is an American neuroendocrinologist; a professor of biology, neuroscience, and neurosurgery at Stanford University; a researcher; an author; and a Research Associate at the National Museums of Kenya.

There is much that a non-dualist or Advaitin or Nisargan can relate to by comparing and contrasting what Sapolsky reveals about the way certain troops of baboons live in Africa with the way that humans abide all around the globe.

This 152-page eBook catalogues the common, non-dual message shared by Sapolsky and Maharaj and reveals the ways that Sapolsky’s scientific research supports the non-dual pointers offered by Maharaj.

IV.
Seeking

In “PART ONE” it will be seen that most persons on the planet are not seeking, and most will never seek, but for those who are seeking, most will face several obstacles:

In “PART TWO” of this book, it will be seen why many criticized Maharaj for “changing his message in his later talks.” It will be seen that the changes were not about changing the message per se as much as about changing his methodology as he experimented with one version of the Ultimate Medicine after another in order to try to find an effective means for addressing the Ultimate Sickness.

He tried a religious version of the Medicine, a Spiritual version of the Medicine, and finally settled on a version which addressed to Sickness at its core . . . at the mental and emotional level.

V.
"THE MOST DANGEROUS BELIEF OF ALL"

“Dangerous” is a term that can only apply during the relative existence, but of those who do commit suicide, for example, how many shoot themselves in the foot over and over until they “bleed out”? None. They shoot themselves in the head. Why? In order to try to stop the noise - to try to stop the chatter of a thousand monkeys – to stop the noisy mind which is the area that stores the ideas, notions, concepts, mind-stuff, etc. which drives them into the depths of insanity.

And what are those ideas, notions, concepts, etc. called, collectively? "Their beliefs." The irony? They are not their beliefs at all. They are the beliefs of “others” that were set in place via programming, conditioning, etc. and which persons then think are their own.

And what are those beliefs rooted in, and what reinforces those beliefs and convinces persons that they are sacred and worth fighting over and even sometimes worth dying for? Blind faith.

This 337-page eBook discusses those issues in detail.
