F.: Why will only one in a million persons understand the pointer offered at the end of yesterday’s post? Because shortly after THAT manifests in a plant body with a brain (specifically in what is called “a human”), the consciousness is bastardized. Soon, the one THATNESS is taken to be millions of “different things” as a result of being programmed with dualistic concepts and lies that are stored away and that form what will be called a “mind.” Eventually, all that could have happened naturally (as a result of the functioning of the brain) no longer happens; instead, very unnatural things begin to happen as a result of the “mind” being conditioned to think in a magical (supernatural) fashion.

The result is that humans that once awoke naturally in the mornings now awake in unnatural ways at unnatural times. Humans that once strolled about in peace now race about in crisis. Humans that once experienced a sense of peace by sitting in the quiet and watching a sunset now try to reach that peaceful state by humming, by kneeling, by genuflecting, and by kissing holy rings; by reading “holy” texts or reading “wise” words written by supposedly “holy” or “knowledgable” men; by making pilgrimages to “holy” shines and “holy” lands; by using drugs or alcohol to excess; by praying to imaginary powers in other realms; by talking to—and listening to—human-like but invisible superpowers; by reading “spiritual” books; by trying to live “spiritually” rather than naturally; by burning incense or by slinging water droplets; by placing special bowls on special pillows and striking the special bowls with special sticks; by sacrificing time and valuables to imagined powers or for “good” causes; by listening to arrogant men who dress in elaborate costumes; by assuming roles and playing those roles in special, “holy” buildings erected on “consecrated ground,” ad infinitum. If the normal (meaning, “unprogrammed and sane”) humans who had lived in a normal (meaning "unconditioned and unenculturated") fashion for millions of years could witness what is now-typical human behavior and now-typical human thinking, those earlier humans would know that they were watching the most outrageously absurd show in the history of this planet. Such is now the case.

Persons today—driven insane by modern programming and enculturation which inspires them to believe the most illogical beliefs—can be restored to sanity if they happen to cross the path of a Realized One and if they happen to be able to hear pointers and then consider them in a logical fashion. They can take the words of an “outer guru” and use them as intended: to guide them to tap into the inner resource, into the inner guru. That inner guru can help detect all of the insanity and lies and concepts that have been dreamed up by controlling men and that now form a “mind.” The insane can become sane in an instant…in the instant that they realize, “My gosh! It was all nonsense!” Then, having seen all the lies as lies, the movement along a specific “path” can happen and the functioning of the Absolute can be understood, and then one will be free of the search to find “peace of mind.” ("Peace of mind" will never happen because the “mind” is what robs persons of peace.) Yet few will be able to hear pointers or consider them objectively because the very programming that persons need to be free of has resulted in the assumption of ego-states that have a vested interest in the lies that are believed to be truth.

Having seen all the nonsense as the nonsense that it is, it will be understood that there is no such thing as “peace of mind” but that there is only peace when freed of the “mind” by being free of believing all the myths and superstitions and lies and “holy” teachings and ignorance that have driven persons insane. To be moved along via use of the brain is sane; to be driven by the whims of a “mind” is the very definition of “insanity.” The ‘journey” will continue when a person sees that all the religious and spiritual knowledge served some persona for a time but, when examined objectively, cannot be anything other than something to be transitioned. If able to question any beliefs that are held as rigidly as those are held, then the ability to take the next “step” and then question it all can happen. Only then can one see that (a) the consciousness which has been contaminated with relativistic concepts can be restored to its prior condition of Absolute purity, that (b) one can be freed of insanity, and that (c) sanity can be restored. Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued]

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.
