F.: Several e-mails have arrived that deal with the news stories which are featuring the swaying, arms-waving, emotionally-intoxicated persons who are predicting, once again, the “End of the World.” First, the world has already ended for those who have Realized. This entire process of realizing is about being free of the type of insane concepts that certain persons in the media are discussing. So first, the planet and all life on it are not going to end, so persons who would be free of their learned ignorance might as well look instead to what can come to an end. What can end is the current cycle of the manifestation of the conscious-energy, and when that happens, there is nothing, and there is no one, that is left to experience anything. Abiding as the Absolute, even identification with that consciousness has ended, so there is nothing else that can happen to Me (or to You, if you Realize that).

Many are currently excited—even hyper-exuberant—over the prospect that “the world might finally be coming to an end.” Many are being worked into a state of full-blown religious and spiritual intoxication as the media provide an audience for the explications of their concepts regarding anticipated events which they believe will prove that their view of this universe and the heaven beyond had been “right” and that all other views have been “wrong.” Welcome to their world of duality. Their concepts include Armageddon, the gaining of control of the Middle East in order to prepare the “Holy Land” as a suitable landing strip for the imminent return of Jesus from the clouds via a celestial chariot of fire that will purportedly be drawn by horses of fire, “The End of Days,” “The End of Times,” the Second Advent of the Christ, the stage being set for the Rapture, and the subsequent Tribulation. Note all of the concepts, dreamed up by ignorant men, recorded in “holy” books by men, misrepresented by other ignorant men, believed in by fools, passed down by fools, and now believed in by even more fools.

Count the number of concepts in those teachings alone, see that they are based in misinterpreted “Biblical knowledge,” and then see that all such knowledge is nothing more than total nonsense and learned ignorance. Also, note the degree to which the bastardized consciousness will go in order to manipulate others to believe what corrupted “minds” believe. Further, notice that all of those concepts deal with a dualistic belief in “separation” based in who is “good” and who is “bad” and who is “right” and who is “wrong.” The “good” will survive Armageddon, but the “bad” won’t. The “good” will be swept up by Christ but the “bad” won’t. The “good” will get benefits (that's just more accumulation) while the “bad” will suffer punishment. And what factor determines which persons will gain and which persons will suffer? (1) their beliefs and (2) the degree to which they have never questioned anything that they were taught. If you unquestioningly believe what others believe, they will tell you that you’ll be blessed for accepting their beliefs. If you disagree or even question, they promise the most ungodly (or make that “godly”) punishments imaginable. See all of the duality in their belief systems. See all of the WHO’s that are dreamed up and that are willing to fight for their imaginary existence. In contrast, the Realized never invite anyone to believe anything but encourage the abandonment of beliefs dreamed up by men. The Realized would never have the audacity to tell you "the truth" but will admit that it cannot be stated. The Realized will point out that the truth can be known but cannot be learned from "others." The Realized never ask anyone to have faith in their words but suggest questioning it all.

Furthemore, these predictions are not new at all. The “End of Timers” have been around since the week after Christ was crucified. The notion that “He's coming back any day now” is a belief with a 2000-year history. The reason that various followers waited 70-100 years to compile a “Bible” was because they believed for 30,000 days or more that each day was going to be “The End of Days.” Thus, those earlier followers waited for decades for the imminent return before deciding, “Maybe it’ll be a little later. Maybe we should put some of this down on paper.” None were able to process all of the possibilities and say, “You know, after a hundred years of saying he’s coming back any day now, I wonder if another option is that...maybe he’s not coming back at all?” That would be a demonstration of questioning, questioning would be a demonstration of lack of faith, and lack of faith (they were taught and are taught) will get you a lifetime sentence in eternal flames. Such a closed belief system excludes all attempts to look rationally and logically at all of the possibilities that should be considered regarding any given belief or doctrine.

For 1900 years after that crucifixion, religious leaders have come forth during every generation to interpret certain events as signs of “the End of Times” and to offer their latest prediction that “OK, this time is the real time for the end. Give away your possessions. Stop paying your bills. Don’t address your current health-care issues. The end is near, so ignore everything in your relative existence.” And for 1900 years, persons have survived one end-of-days date after another or one predicted end-of-times event after another. And even after those persons have a chance to see that their religious leaders were totally wrong, persons continue to take their leaders’ word regarding all religious matters.

All persons on the planet have been fooled (via programming), but that does not make them all fools. Only those who unquestioning allow leaders to fool them time and time and time again are truly fools. Only those who do not understand that I, the Absolute, Am beyond the beingness and the non-beingness are fools. Only those who do not realize that They, the Absolute, Are beyond the beingness and the non-beingness are fools. Only they who do not understand that what is real is beyond this beingness and is even beyond non-beingness are fools. That which is beyond this beingness is not a rapture, not a tribulation, not a heaven, not a hell, not a reward and not a punishment. What is beyond the beingness and the non-beingness is a field of energy that was not created and that cannot be destroyed. That is not the end of days. It is the end of the story, period. Post-Realization, the world has already ended, days have already ended, time has already ended, but what happens will continue to happen as the cycles continue their cyclings. What is eternal is energy and cyclings...or not. What is not eternal is a body or "mind" or personality. Please enter into 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.
