F.: For persons to believe in the “end of times” fear-mongering and hate-mongering, they must be entrenched in body identification, absorbed in ego, and driven by their desire for eternal body continuity. Contrary to their religious talk about all of the metaphysical concepts associated “The End of the World,” persons are really concerned with the body and with ensuring that the body lasts forever, with ensuring that the body feels good now and forever, and with ensuring that the body will not suffer pain forever. Never be fooled into believing that those who want the world to end are driven by “spiritual motives.” Their motives are rooted in their personas, the accompanying egotism, and their body identification. At the core of their belief systems are their dualistic convictions that they are different from "others," that they are better than "others," and that when the world ends, all those "others" who did not accept their fiction as fact will “get what they have coming for not believing,” as one person said.

They welcome the end because they are very much convinced that their bodies and minds and personalities will leave “this world that has been corrupted by non-believers” and that the "good people" will then experience eternal body continuity and pleasure in another realm. Because their version of the afterlife focuses not as much on the metaphysical as on the physical body getting its due reward for eternity, they welcome their “Death with an Asterisk” since they are convinced that their bodies will be “saved” forever because of their obedient faith in the content of stories they’ve been told. Unlike the Realized, the “End of Timers” are not really willing to “accept death” or to “give up this life”—that is, willing to give up their attachment to the consciousness and the roles it assumed after its corruption. They are actually seeking to accumulate…to accumulate an infinite number of years for their bodies to exist. Where’s any courage in that? Where’s anything spiritual or metaphysical in that?

For the young who are troubled by these “End of Days” rantings being shown by the media, it should be made clear that the children should sleep well tonight, knowing the following:

1. When the conscious-energy which is manifested as this space called “floyd” is no longer manifested, “floyd” will not be existing elsewhere, will not be receiving a reward or punishment elsewhere, and will not be coming back. In that same fashion, “Jesus” is not existing elsewhere, he is not enjoying a reward as he awaits his “Second Advent,” and the conscious-energy that was manifested as the space called “Jesus” will not be coming back either. If portions of previously-manifested conscious-energy should happen to cycle and re-manifest, those portions do not re-manifest as the exact same previously-manifested quantity and do not re-manifest in the same configuration of the basic elements that “formed” a prior space. "Ash-to-ash" and "dust-to-dust" really is the fate of all spaces.

2. If persons were not trapped in their concepts and left in the darkness of programming, they could know that the “world” has already ended. It ends when the corrupted consciousness is re-purified and comes to realize that “the world” is nothing more than a series of images that are dreamed up via the bastardized consciousness.

3. This planet is not going to end in "coming days." For that to happen, the universe that is still expanding—and that has been expanding for over 14 billion years—would have to stop expanding and come to a screeching halt. Then, all the elements of the universe would have to reverse their movements away from a central point and begin moving back to that point where a hydrogen atom collided with a helium atom and resulted in the explosion that set off the initial expansion process. It would probably take more than 14 billion years for that contraction to happen if the expansion stopped today, which it hasn’t and which it won’t. Will the hydrogen furnace called "our sun" eventually expand and encompass the planets in this solar system? Yes, but go ahead and show up at your job today, if you have one. The planet will be around long enough for your monthly bills to arrive and for collectors to call if your payments don't.

4. Even if every human could be killed, as every large dinosaur was killed, life would continue as it did after the extinction of the biggest dinosaurs. Not all of the dinosaurs were made extinct since many descendants live on today in the form of birds and lizards and other smaller forms, and not all humans can be killed...no matter how widespread wars become. Consider the following as contradictory evidence if you believe that humans can come up with weapons that are powerful enough to end “time” and “days” and all "life on the planet": when the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, humans who received doses of 1,200 rads died slow deaths, but wood-boring insects and their eggs have survived doses of 68,000 rads. In 1959, it was found that—though a 1,200-rad exposure will kill a human—it takes 64,000 rads to kill a fruit fly. Moreover, scientists found that it takes an exposure of 180,000-rads to kill a parasitoid wasp. Who but a fool would believe that humans can come up with weapons that could eliminate all “life” or the planet itself?

When the three elements of body identification, religious programming, and the bastardized consciousness come together, a perfect storm of foolishness results every time. But storms come and go, as will alternating cycles of peace and fighting, as will the perceived separation among opponents, as will the chaos, as will the current crop of concepts and beliefs and causes that so many are programmed to be willing to die for.

But again, site visitor who might have been disturbed should now sleep well. See that the “End of Timers” are so identified with the “rightness” of their position that they feel superior to (and separate from) any who don’t accept their beliefs as truth. See that they are dedicated to trying to make "others" accept their religious beliefs and that they are simply using their dogma to threaten eternal punishment for anyone who refuses to accept their doctrines as truth. See that there is no cause to be affected by the efforts of manipulators to manipulate. See that they are so identified with body and have such faith in their concepts that they feel assured of eternal reward for an everlasting body. Ss that they look forward to seeing “others” being punished for being different from them. See the duality and their sense of separateness, even as they speak of unity and oneness and at-one-ment, and be reminded that "dual-minded persons are unstable in all ways."

As far as the misguided notion of “body continuity,” the greater peace comes in realizing that the body is finite. Too, the ego-states which persons accept as their false identities are also finite. Rather than being concerned with "an end to the planet" and "the elimination of all life,” the Realized can know that whatever happens during the remainder of the manifestation shall merely be witnessed. Relax as you merely witness the reporting of all fiction-based nonsense. The Realized can witness without fear about end times, without insanity, without anxiety about eternal punishment, and without the dread of having to live for an eternity with fools who believe what fools believe. For those who would Realize, the invitation is to discard all the concepts being bandied about by fools and see the truth that can only be touched within. Then, enjoy the beingness, understanding that nothing will end because nothing began. Timelines with beginnings, middles and ends are fiction; cycles are fact. 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.
