Today's Considerations
Yesterday:
The mind and assigned or assumed personalities are like conjoined twins, so that condition can bring
unspeakable relative horrors as when human twins are conjoined or when a mind exists and
is conjoined with personality identifications.
Conjoined twins are identical twins joined in utero. Approximately
half are stillborn, and a smaller fraction of pairs which do survive for a time have
abnormalities which are incompatible with life. To the non-dualist, they are a literal token - an observable symbol of duality - and both types of conjoining (relatively speaking) are handicapping and disabling conditions.
In the U.S., approximately 4.5% of all children will have fairly serious defects; more common are an assortment of sometimes-less-severe or even minor defects. Most physical bodies arrive in fairly normal condition, but that is only about the body.

The greater defects will be added as hearsay is shared and
minds begin to form. The resulting defect or illness – the Ultimate Sickness – begins to
take hold as a result of environmental influences and parental influences and cultural
influences which all join forces to warp the minds of offspring and to begin filling
those minds with an assortment of assigned, false personal identities.
As a result, all persons will eventually suffer from the
Sickness which is as debilitating as being conjoined with a twin because that is the case with the mind / personality phenomenon. Consider:
Body-mind-personality identification is key to misunderstanding. It is defective
to identity with the body only, yet at least the body is natural, rooted as it
is the elements. The consciousness is rooted in the Absolute field, a field of
energy which has no awareness of, or consciousness of, anything; which can be pulled
into a cycling process and can then manifest within a space; which can – once manifested
– be conscious of; and (if “Realized”) can be aware of as well.
The mind and the personality, by contract, are not natural.
They are most unnatural, especially when supposedly-supernatural elements (concepts)
are added to the mix and stored in the mind as identities / personalities /
personas / roles / stage characters, etc.
Once the mind and personal identifications are conjoined, then one becomes exactly like
conjoined twins in that the result of the conjoined mind-personality-identifications
complex is this: persons will also suffer from “abnormalities which are incompatible
with life.”
Suicide rates have soared. Self-destructive tendencies have soared. Self-defeating behaviors have soared, and all behaviors result from this continuum: thoughts to words to deeds. Perverted thoughts / beliefs eventually = perverted behaviors.

Being driven by the hidden, subconscious agendas of 80-100
false identities eventually = dual-mindedness, instability, chaos, and
self-destructive behaviors.
Being driven by warped programming and conditioning and acculturation
and domestication and brainwashing and indoctrination can only lead to warped
thoughts and words and actions. And what is the blockage which prevents seeing that is one's condition
and admitting it and addressing it? Ego and egotism, as exemplified in such comments
as “Go to hell, Floyd. My parents did one heckuva job raising us.”
For the few that hang around long enough, continuing with the
process offered here long enough for some lights to begin to come on, then there is the chance that –
instead of seeing the perceived snake is just a rope – they might just see
that the perceived supposedly-heckuva-good-rope is actually . . . a snake. Why
the reluctance? The thought is, “If one of my parents was totally screwed, then
I’m at least half screwed. If both of my parents were screwed up in the way
they raised me, I’m totally screwed. And worst of all, that might mean that I’ve
been totally screwed as a parent, but I know that's a lie because I am a 'Super Parent'.”
So would admitting the truth also have to call for resenting? Of course not. It calls for
objectivity and for questioning all which has been accepted on blind faith and which
has been denied because of egotism and which is now calling for this: accepting
the facts of one’s condition and understanding how one came into that condition.
Therefore, the reply to those who ask if the recommendation here is to resent your
forebears who passed down generations of accumulated ignorance and insanity is this: “You
need not address the fact that they are / were screwed. It was done to them by
their parents. Now, it is only time to find out exactly everything that is bogus which was handed down to you and for
you to participate in un-screwing yourself by being willing to be un-taught and by un-learning all the ignorance that was taught. Welcome to “The Un-Teaching, Un-Learning Site.”
The next question is, "So are you ready to abandon the false
and accept the Truth, the facts surrounding your condition?" The honest answer to that question will be key because
in order to begin the journey toward being restored to sanity, this is the fundamental
fact: the readiness is all.
That involves the readiness to set aside all beliefs . . . to
set aside all that you have been told . . . to set aside egotism and . . . to see
that (mental and personality) defects are present while acknowledging that they
can be addressed.
The option? Continuing to suffer the misery of unspeakable
relative horrors like those which exist when human twins are conjoined or like those
which exist when a mind is conjoined with personality identifications (or even
with some “Supreme” identity).
As was the case with Maharaj, when compared with the
spiritual giants who sometimes come this way, I am a spiritual pygmy, so what
is given no significant at all here is anything deemed to be either supreme or Supreme. Apologies of a sort to your identities or Your New Identity, but the fact here is .
. . "not impressed." The question for those in that mental state is, “WHO is impressed
in your / 'Your' case?"
Maharaj: “I have no identity (Identity) at all.” And that worked
just fine then and it will work just fine now.
To be continued.
Please enter the silence of contemplation.
