Today's Considerations

21. In the previous post, this was asked:

 "So many say, 'I just want to be happy.' If they are honest, they will admit that the last time they were UNCONDITIONALLY happy was during that 'Child No-Knowing State.' For those willing to return to that earlier condition which allowed for the enjoyment of unconditional happiness as long as the basic needs of food and clothing and shelter are met, then the happiness which they seek can be found."

Why is reaching that state required? Because after the "Child No-Knowing State" comes the "Child Knowing ('Learned Ignorance') State," so everything from that point forward in the child's life - and in that child's later adult life - is screwed. How can "unconditional happiness" possibly manifest after "conditioning" (and after "programming," "acculturation," etc.)? It cannot.

For the answer, the discussion will continue with additional excerpts from the eBook below entitled, "The Relative Results of Returning to 'The Child Ignorance Stage' or 'The Child No-Knowing State'":

"When was the last time anyone who is presently confused, afraid, unhappy, or even miserable was actually unconditionally happy? The correct answer, in non-dual terminology, is:

"When the conscious-energy during the initial 'coming in phase' of the manifestation was moving from the Absolute field of energy and had reached 'The Child Ignorance Stage' or 'The Child No-Knowing Step.' At that point was the last time I was unconditionally happy because I had not yet disintegrated into the next 'coming in' step where I would be assigned the roles of 'A Gift from God' and would thereafter begin playing the role of 'The Super Religious One'; where I was before a mind was formed and filled with nonsensical and myth-based and superstition-based beliefs as a result of being exposed constantly to perverted and ignorant programming and conditioning and acculturation and domestication and brainwashing and indoctrination; and where I was when the conscious-energy had manifested temporarily in a composite unity called 'me' but had not yet been blocked from seeing clearly. It would only be later that I would eventually believe that the answer to the question 'Who am I, really?' or 'What am I, really?' was: 'I am the body and the mind and all of the personality-identifications which have been assigned to me by others or which I have adopted as identities on my own'.

"At that fourth step point, a child that is dry and fed and sheltered and not physically sick is perfectly content, is unconditionally happy. During the 'coming-into-manifestation-and-eventually-identitifying-with-the-body' part of the initial 'journey in,' the 'The Child Ignorance Stage' or 'The Child No-Knowing State' was the last of the pre-Ultimate Sickness steps - the last of the per-conditional happiness states before being exposed endlessly to the perverted and ignorant programming and conditioning and acculturation and domestication and brainwashing and indoctrination which contribute to the Ultimate Sickness which, in turn, sets the stage for the chaos and instability and the misery and suffering which are always the result of learned ignorance and personality disorders and insanity.

"At that fourth step, the child knows that it IS but it does not believe that it is "this" or "that"; therefore, the child suffers no fiction-filled-mind-driven agendas and no persona-driven agendas."

To appreciate fully the unconditionally happiness which can once more be enjoyed if one follows Maharaj's advice and "goes back out," "in the reverse order," of the same way the consciousness first "came in," understand:

There is what linguists and grammarians call "English Conditional Sentences." (Almost all languages have conditional sentences as well, although Grandmother's Cherokee language did not). A conditional sentence contains a dependent clause which begins with the word "if" and which is then followed by a main clause. The dependent clause expresses a condition (the "protasis") and the main clause expresses a consequence (the "apodosis"). For example: "If it rains (condition), the trip to the beach will be cancelled" (consequence).

The belief in conditionals - which rob persons of peace, an ability to differentiate between true and false, and, therefore, an ability to know truth - can only happen  after programming and conditioning and acculturation and domestication and brainwashing and indoctrination.

Only then can persons dream up conditionals which limit their ability to be happy: "If I find a better-paying job, then I can be happy"; or "If I can find a spouse who will please me, then I can be happy" (followed 50% of the time by, "If I can only get away from my spouse and find a better one, then I can be happy");

or "If I find love and then marry and get a house and have a family, then I can be happy"; or "If I can find my True Self, then I can be happy"; or "If I can find a way to mentally move into Foo-Foo Land and dissociate from reality and think I am abiding as Reality, then I can be happy."

At the fourth step, whether one is at that step "on the way in initially" or whether one is at that step when undertaking the non-dual "journey" and "going back out, in reverse, along the same 'path' which the consciousness took when coming in," there is nothing conditional; moreover, that was the exact same case when in "Your Original Nature" state. Remember?

"Your Original Nature" was, among other things, an unconditioned and unconditional state. Abidance in that same manner can also happen during the AM-ness. It is most certainly a possibility if one follows the "path" away from body and mind identification, and away from all personality identifications, and returns to the "The Child Ignorance Stage" or "The Child No-Knowing State."

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.
