Vigneshwar: Hi Floyd, Great excitement and joy in coming across your website. Can\'t tell you how much I had wanted to ask someone about this question that\'s in mind. There are moments when the unreality of all that\'s around us, including the body and mind, is clearly seen and discarded. A wonderful state comes where not-even-the-I exist. This of course, is known only after coming out of that state. Now, the mind wants to repeat this again and stay put in that state. It’s making all conscious efforts possible to get back to where it came from. Now, why is it very anxious? I sometimes, want death also to occur at the moment when this realization is strong. Afraid a bit that i might again forget to be THAT, like forgetting my TRUE SELF. What\'s the remedy for the aching mind?

F.: You should now be seeing that the “remedy for the aching mind” cannot be attained by completing only part of the “journey.” You should also be seeing, if you focused on the content of the vision yesterday, what is involved with completing the entire “journey.” You were told early on that several steps were required for the consciousness to manifest and then become so totally corrupted that the e-mail above could be written. Before continuing, please re-read the content of the vision presented at:

http://floydhenderson.com/article1.htm

Now, reconsider the pointers offered on last Tuesday and see if those pointers are more meaningful in light on the content of the vision:

Here is an overview of the process that shifted You from being the Absolute to that belief you are discarding that you are a body: a natural movement occurred whereby a portion of the “energy-at-rest” that is the Absolute manifested in a space; because of unnatural programming and conditioning and enculturation and genetic influences, the purity of that consciousness began to undergo a corrupting process; the space called "Vigneshwar" merely witnessed at first; then, it might have experienced the bliss of the Child Ignorance state; next it might have experienced the assignment of spiritual roles (such as “Our precious Vigneshwar is a gift from god”); then, as a result of more faulty programming, a “mind” began to develop and became a storehouse of learned ignorance, containing all of the lies and concepts and dogma and myths and superstitions that were taught; that “mind” was eventually programmed to assume (and then believe in) dozens or scores or hundreds of other false identities in addition to that spiritual role assigned earlier; finally, identification became focused on the physical body.

So, the considerations for today include these:

Are you seeing how the pure conscious-energy manifested in an organism that would be called “Vigneshwar” and that Nature’s intent was that the organism should live naturally under the auspices of a brain and not a fictional "mind"?

Are you seeing the steps by which that pure consciousness was corrupted as it moved from merely witnessing to accepting roles and body and mind and personality as identities?

Are you seeing more clearly that you were born with a brain but not a “mind” and that “the mind” came about as lies and myths and superstitions and concepts were pumped into you in the form of learned ignorance?

Are you seeing how that programming and enculturation put you into total conflict with Nature and with all that is natural?

Are you seeing that the “aching” you are experiencing is a result of trying to live in an unnatural or supernatural fashion which is in direct opposition to your natural environment and your natural inclinations?

Are you seeing that “the aching” will always result when trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, so to speak?

Are you seeing that there is no such thing as “your mind” and that there is only “their mind” that you think is your own?

Are you seeing that “aching” is the only thing that can result when you have no freedom and when you are living a relative existence that is being controlled by the “minds” of others?

Are you seeing that the “aching” can only become more and more intense because people you haven’t seen in years are still “very present” in the form of bastardized consciousness and are controlling what you do, how you feel, and what you think?

Are you seeing that the "aching" is really a longing to be free and to be Who/What You Truly Are, rather than (1) accepting, unconsciously, the roles they assigned and (2) trying to be, unconsciously, what they want you to be?
Are you seeing that freedom (and thereby relief from the "aching") can only come if you see that it’s all BS and reject it completely, thereby being free once and for all of that mirage called “the mind”?

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.
