Today's Considerations

Few among the masses are aware of the abundance of non-dual pointers which they are being exposed to on a regular basis. Yet usually the pointers are so foreign to those among the non-Realized masses that they are simply filtered out when their meanings are not instantly grasped. It's not unlike Christians who totally ignore and discount and race past the non-dual statements attributed to Jesus because his so-called "followers" have no clue at all what he was talking about during the final days of his manifestation when he shared such Advaitin pointers as:

"When you speak of Me, speak of Me as I AM" and "Before Abraham was, I AM" and "No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven' for it is within" and "Cleave a piece of wood and I Am there; lift up a stone and you will find Me there" and "If you do not know YourSelves, then you are in poverty and you are poverty" and "If they say to you, 'From where have you originated?' say to them: 'We have come from the light, where the light originated through itself'" and "I AM light" (not "the light") and "A dual-minded person is unstable in all ways."

In the eBook below containing hundreds of non-dual quotes, it can be seen that, regularly, non-dual pointers are included in the content of the popular books of novelists; in speeches by a few politicians ranging from Nelson Mandela to Barack Obama; in poetry; in plays on Broadway; in popular movies; in talks offered by scientists and pop stars like Russell Brand; and in the music of Pink Floyd and John Lennon and Andrew Lloyd Webber and Simon and Garfunkel and Billy Joel.

Consider some of the pointers in the lyrics of Joel's song "Vienna (Waits for You)":

"Slow down you crazy child."

"Why are you still so afraid?"

"Where's the fire? What's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out.
 You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day."

"You're gonna kick off
Before you even get halfway through."

"When will you realize? (or, Realize?)
Vienna waits for you?"

"Slow down, you're doing fine,
You can't be everything you want to be."

"You're so ahead of yourself
That you forget what you need."

"Dream on, but don't imagine
They'll all come true."

"Slow down you crazy child.
Take the phone off the hook
And disappear for a while."

"It's alright. You can afford to lose a day or two.
"When will you realize . . . Vienna waits for you?"

If interested, you can watch a live performance of Joel's "Vienna"
(and listen to and consider its non-dual message):


To be continued.

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.
