F.: The pointers offered in response to an e-mail posted yesterday now continue:

8. Regarding your “spiritual work” that you think can eventually unite you and god, such a joining of “A” to “B” would require duality to be real. The unicity is real, the duality is false, so no “joining of separates” or “uniting of separates” is possible. That Which All Is Is THAT one thing only, vibrating at various frequencies when manifested and thus resulting in “varying appearances” that are wrongly perceived as “different things.”

9. As far as a new personality developing, all personality is an illusion, so how could a “new” personality develop? And how could a former personality--a formerly assumed persona that was an illusion--recycle? Such scenarios can only be dreamed up via the manifestation and corruption of previously pure consciousness.

So the occasion that you would call “death” cannot happen since no birth happened. That “no-birth and no death principle” quite naturally prevents any reincarnation from happening. All that is going to happen is that the elements forming the space that you take yourself to be will rejoin the universal pool of elements, the spirit/breath shall rejoin the universal pool of air, and the energy-consciousness shall merge with the universal pool of energy. Portions of those elements may recycle with other elements into another form, or they may not. Quantities of that breath/air may recycle again through a plant or an animal or something else with a nervous system, or it may not. Quantities of that energy may recycle again into a plant or animal or something else with a nervous system, or it may not.

You, however, will likely remained trapped in your current false personality of “The Religious One” or “The Knowing One” since those ego-states are both entered into with the accompanying programming to “never question” and to “believe what you’re told.” Such is the bondage of the corrupted consciousness and such is the bondage of personality. Thus, believing what they have been told by “others” (from without), most persons will never realize what they have always known all along (within) but that has been blocked from awareness.

For those who are willing to question and to move along the seven-step path toward Realization, the consciousness can knows itself…can know the I-Amness. If it understands the Is-ness, then subsequently the re-purified consciousness is able to understand all else. The understanding of the functioning of the totality happens. Because you have accepted a false identity as real, you cannot know anything other than that which is false. Thus, all other beliefs held by that which is false must likewise be false. In that closed loop, your corrupted consciousness will likely remained corrupted and will therefore be closed off from knowing the unutterable truth that can nevertheless be known. So it is as persons walk about in the dream of the planet, playing their roles in The Drama of the Lie, and being directed throughout their play by the corrupted consciousness. 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.
