F.: In the vision, the final stages of beingness, of manifested consciousness, are witnessed and described in this fashion:
You begin to ascend the steps, leaving the water behind. You, and millions of Yous, walk in exactly the same fashion, moving toward the narrowing peak that leads to the door of the dome. You wonder, "How could so many be entering the dome? It really isn't that large, now that I can see it more clearly." It seems that much that You perceived as more is really...less. But the nearer You All move toward the door, the more You witness a siphoning effect of sorts. As All near the door, All seem to dissolve into a form of light being drawn inside. As You approach, You feel the last remnants--remnants of whatever You had formerly thought yourself to be--gradually fading away. The dissolving seems to be occurring in slow motion, and you feel ecstatic. It's almost as if You are feeling blissful as your beingness seems to be dissolving into non-beingness. Finally, You merge with the All, into the light, and it seems...it seems over.
The energy that manifested...unmanifests. It did not change. It was not "this" and then became "that" or "THAT." THAT is all there is. What was erroneously taken to be one thing and erroneously taken to be many things was only THAT. Manifested as the temnporay "Is-ness," THAT became aware of itself, not unlike a child finally noticing its hand for the first time. Early on, the child knows that It Is. Clap your hands loudly near its face and the child will jump, wanting instinctively and archetypically to preserve its Amness. It is no different from the bird which is aware that It Is. Wanting to preserve that Is-ness, it will fly away from a human walking along a trail in the woods.
Initially, humans sense THAT. A child does not know it is a "boy" or a "girl." It does not think, so it does not think that it is "a good boy" or "a good girl." Only after being exposed to the nonsense of "reward vs. punishment" and "good vs. bad" and "heaven vs. hell" does the child begin to suffer from the illusions of fear that are generated by dual-mindedness.
If Realized, however, it is known that this beingness is temporary and that the non-beingness is the completely natural state (as opposed to unnatural states or supernatural states as adopted by non-Realized persons). Energy manifests and is aware of the beingness, then energy unmanifests and has no space or form by which the beingness can be known. THAT is perfect peace, not unlike the delta-sleep state of brain movement during deep sleep. The non-beingness is that natural state with no body, no mind, no form, no space, no...anything. It is the Void, the Nothingness, when THAT Which Is does not even know that It Is. Call it "bliss" if you like, but the Realized know that bliss can only be known during the beingness if the Void and the Nothingness are Realized during the manifestation of consciousness. If one is at perfect rest during a deep sleep, that might appear to be a blissful state, but the human in deep sleep does not know that it is and is not conscious of "bliss." Only when fully awake, aware and conscious can the bliss be known--if Realized. Bliss is the stuff of being manifested and Realized during the period of Amness. The non-being state that follows has no awareness of awareness. Having transitioned into the non-beingness, the Consciousnss Is, but it cannot know It Is. Enjoy it NOW, for no other opportunity exists. Please enter 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.
