F.: To review what the “journey” is really about, the following is offered for Your consideration: among persons—meaning the non-Realized masses—there are seven degrees of separation from Reality which result from (a) being programmed to believe unquestioningly in nonsense; and

(b) being conditioned to think and talk in unnatural or supernatural ways (which prevents persons from living in a nisarga—natural—fashion and inspires them to behave instead as a warped culture would have them behave; and (c) being stripped of all that was natural via the domestication process.

The “journey” along a “path,” with each step being pointed out precisely by a Realized teacher, removes the seven degrees of separation from Reality. Once the seven steps to Realization have been conducted (in the exact manner as offered in the book From the I to the Absolute (A Seven-Step Journey to Reality)), then the seeker will have “gone back” to the Absolute, will have come to understand Truth, and will thereafter realize every bit of nonsense and every outright lie being disseminated by those attached to the relative existence.

After having “gone back,” then the original “coming in” can be repeated but in a manner that does not involve the programming and conditioning and acculturation and domestication that marked and marred the original “coming in.” Meaning? Meaning that when this present manifestation of consciousness “came in,” it underwent a process that removed it by seven degrees from knowing THAT Which It Is.

Here’s what is different after completion of the “journey”: after the “journey,” then the “coming back” after seeing and understanding the totality will allow for a direct path to be followed and completed in the instant that follows the peripetia which happens when all is finally understood from the platform of the Absolute.

Then the “coming back” happens not along the original “path” that was followed with all of its divergences and blockages and deviations and perversions and discrepancies. It is a direct path back, not an indirect path back, which is taken from THAT to the beingness.

“Returning” in that fashion (as THAT Which You Are) You can thereafter abide as the still Awareness that You eternally Are rather than as the ever-moving, ever-fluctuating consciousness which You only temporarily Are.

This overlaying of the understanding of Reality upon the Is-ness allows Truth to be understood during the relative manifestation, and recognizing Truth guarantees freedom from ever being fooled again. It is those who see that they were made fools of by “them” that become seekers of the Truth, a happening which can undo the blockages of that original corrupting process and allow you to be free of belief in all foolishness.

Before the “journey,” nothing was seen as is. In Consciousness / Awareness, the pointer is offered that before, everything you thought you saw so clearly is, post-Realization, understood to have only been a series of mistaken appearances. Realized, it becomes clear that appearances are distortions, that the rope never was a snake, and that distortions trigger fear and discontentment or even misery.

Freedom from being fooled allows for the remainder of the manifestation to unfold in a manner that is natural, independent, and joyous as a result of being free of being driven by delusional beliefs that generate nonsensical thoughts which trigger nonsensical talk and in turn drive unnatural behaviors. Please enter 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.
