From a site visitor: "What motivates you, Floyd, to take the time to present and explain Realization?"
F.: Nothing motivates "me." There’s no “one” to be motivated. Can you motivate the energy that moves through your vacuum cleaner? What happens with this space you called “Floyd” just happens. Puccini’s words best describe AS IF living, post-Realization: “E passeranno I giorni,” he said, meaning “And the days will go by.” What happens…happens. The difference is, there is no do-er, no author. For a few years after Realization, teaching still happened in order to meet the basic need of the plant-food-body (food, clothing, shelter, etc.) but there was no “Teacher.” There being no “Teacher,” there certainly was no “Super Teacher.” Only the consciousness speaks, but your question does offer an opportunity for visitors to differentiate between when it is the pure consciousness that speaks and when it is the corrupted consciousness that speaks.

When the pure consciousness speaks, there is no “Speaker” or “Super Speaker.” The pure consciousness understands the functioning of the totality and may explicate that functioning…or not; if the consciousness is bastardized, then it will always be one or more personas—one or more of the phony, assumed identities—that will seem to be doing the talking. For example, from the assumed persona of “The Lover” will come words that are self-serving, that reinforce the false self and that try to engage “others” to fulfill the desires and wishes of that ego-state. That persona will say anything and everything that it thinks necessary to try to convince another person (a) to play the required counterpart for that role to exist and (b) to do what “The Lover” wants done to reinforce that false self.

Similarly, such self-serving words will come from every other ego-state assumed by personas. The words that emanate from any false personality will attempt to convince you to accept more roles and to become “The Spouse” or “The Protégé” or “The Follower” or “The Supporter” or “An Adherent” or “The Good Employee That Enhances Profits” of “The Republican” or “The Democrat” or “The Buddhist” or “The Advaitan” or “My Guru” or “The Jihadist” or “The Troops” or “The Atma” or “The Devotée” or “The Seeker” or “The Sage” or “The Spiritual Aspirant” or “The Yogi” or “The Christian” or “The Muslim” or “The Good Boy” or “The Good Girl” or “The Good Son” or “The Excellent Daughter,” ad infinitum. The corrupted consciousness will always try to manipulate a listener to accept more beliefs, to mimic certain behaviors, to give or contribute or serve, to assume more roles, to worship this or that, to follow certain dogma or to accept certain teachings, to accumulate more knowledge, to think a certain way, to emote, to accept all the tenets of a certain ideology, to attend this meeting or that meeting on a daily or weekly basis for life, to give your money to support them and the phony roles they are playing, or to join this or that group or organization or church or party.

The pure consciousness offers an invitation to the corrupted consciousness to de-accumulate…to be free of roles that set persons up to be manipulated, to be rather than do, to use any teachings only to the point that they free you of all concepts and teachings and ideologies, to feel without becoming emotionally intoxicated, to realize how it is that the consciousness came to be manifested, to realize how to live naturally, to see the insanity of unnatural or supernatural living during the relative existence, to realize how persons use beliefs and ideas to manipulate you, to know what happens when the consciousness is no longer manifested, and thereby to be free—totally free—of the insanity of programming and conditioning and enculturation.

It is the pure consciousness that is speaking if the invitation is to stop believing lies, if the invitation is to use reason and logic rather than being driven blindly by dogma and emotions, if the invitation is to give up the beliefs that result in so much fighting across the planet, if the invitation is to discard all of the nonsensical concepts that are rooted in ancient myths and superstitions that were dreamed up by ignorant people, if the invitation is to realize What You Really Are instead of believing you’re something that you’re not, if the invitation is to be free of fears and misery and suffering, if the invitation is to discard the ego-states that inspire arrogance and egotism, if the invitation is to abandon all phony images and to be genuine, and if the words assure you that you do not need to donate huge sums of money—for the entire remainder of your relative existence—in order to find peace or to understand the truth that is already within and which you can tap into if you hear the pure consciousness speak and then take what you hear into consideration. 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.
