Today's Considerations

In approximately 4-1/2 months, it will have been twenty-six years since the two sections of the brain which made up what was called "floyd's mind" were purged. Because that happened, then it also happened that the belief in a host of multiple personalities - multiple "personal identifications" - also came to an end, spontaneously.* The end of the mind happened because every notion, perspective, conviction, principle, faith-based certainty, idea, and concept (a.k.a., "all my beliefs") which had ever been stored in the mind were discarded.

[*You may recall from past posts that - of the nine basic personality types which make up the "identity starter set" for every human on the planet - one of those nine (which is called "a person's primary type") will usually be locked into place by the age of six or so. Of that type, Maharaj did say that even after persons reject the belief in any and all identifications, there will remain throughout the balance of the relative existence a slight vestige of one's original, primary type. For example, Maharaj's primary type was the Type Four - the seeker of Reality and authenticity. It was that remaining trace or hint of his original type which led him to receive visitors into the loft and which led him to share non-dual pointers for so many years. Yet never would "the Realized" continue to believe that the remnant of one's original, primary type is an actual identity. Even "the Realized" is a term used only temporarily for the sake of discussion; thus Maharaj's pointer that "I am nowhere to be found. I am not a thing to be given a place among other things."]

Those nine basic types (which develop to varying degrees in every human along with all of the other identities which will be assigned and / or assumed) all have their own agendas, desires, and fears, and those agendas and desires and fears cause the mind to race; that, in turn, causes the body to race. The go-do-zoom-inspiring agendas and desires and fears of Types One through Four have been discussed. The discussion of the next types follows.

Type Fives (The Analyst / The Knowledge Seeker / The Jnani) are driven to accumulate knowledge in order to show off their knowledge, to show how smart they are, and to gain praise for their wealth of knowledge. While on occasion their bodies might be still as they are reading the books which will be used to make up a library which will serve as physical evidence of their storehouse of knowledge, their bodies are still zooming inside. Moreover, they too can enter into the physical going and doing and zooming which the mind-content of other types also inspires, so they will often be seen going to seminars and going to retreats all throughout the year and going to speeches being offered by Big Name Teachers.

Fives run from their basic fear of being overwhelmed by the realities of the relative existence and from the fear that they might not have enough knowledge accumulated in their "fact"-filled minds to know how to handle every situation that might ever arise. Their basic desire is to be seen as "The Go-To Person to Get All of the Answers" and "The Most Competent and Most Knowledgeable One of All."

The Type Six (The Loyalist / The Dependent One / The Co-Dependent One / The Anxious One / The Fearful One) engages in going and doing and zooming as a result of a quest to find a care-taker - be that a person or an organization or a religion or a business or a support group or some other kind of cult - which can provide a sense of security to replace their sense of insecurity (and to address their sense of entitlement that they deserve to be taken care of).

Their basic fear is having no external source or sources for support and guidance. Their basic desire is to find that external support . . . or multiple sources of support. Fifty percent of all persons on the planet are Type Sixes, so fifty percent are going to be involved automatically in going and doing and zooming as they are forever seeking protectors and protection for their bodies and personas. (Contrast that 50% number with the fact that only 1/2 of 1% are Type Fours.) Many Type Sixes - being anxious and fear-based - are especially drawn to professions where firearms or larger weapons are a standard part of the equipment: military, police, security guards, hit men, gangsters, etc. If not involved in one of those themselves, then Sixes can be drawn to form relationships with those who do bear arms.

[Tomorrow] Types Seven, Eight, and Nine: what robs them of any and all ability to relax and take it easy and what drives them instead to race through the relative existence.


To be continued.

Please enter into 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.
