Today's Considerations
Also from the book entitled A Different Perspective:
Other perspectives which different from those held by the
masses can manifest if Realization is combined with the yoga that invites
natural living vs. unnatural or supernatural living. Why do billions adhere to
the dictates of their religious dogma? Why do persons reject the notion
mentioned earlier that they may as well abandon their organized religions and
their spiritual practices?
Because the masses are addicted to power and control;
because the masses believe that there is a power or Higher Power or "The
Universe" that is available to interfere with the happenings on this
planet if invited to do so with unquestioning faith;
and
because persons live
in personality-driven fear and desire and they believe that if they have a
relationship with the powerful "here" and The Powerful "there," then
they can have their fears alleviated and their desires fulfilled.
The perspective here is this:
All is matter / energy and neither energy nor matter can be
created nor destroyed; hence, there has never been anything "created" so, therefore, there is not and never has been a "Creator."
Similarly, there has never been a birth because there has never been a baby that was created because "babies" are a result of a simple process which involves nothing more than an act of friction followed by the cycling of already-existing elements. And since there has never been a birth, there has never been - and never will be - a rebirth. (Nothing is simpler to accept if the logic and rationality which manifest via a clear perspective are present.)
(As Maharaj made clear, all supposed "memories" or intimations of a prior life or prior lives, therefore, are as much a product of the imagination as are "creation," "creating," "creators," and a "Creator" as well as the thousands of gods and goddesses which have been dreamed up and worshipped off and on for five thousand or more years in many different cultures. He made clear that there is nothing and there is no one who was, is, or shall be "holy" or "sacred," so that would - necessarily - have to apply to cows as well.)
Because there is no Creator "there," there are no creators
"here," so no one have ever created anyone. Elements cycle. That's all.
Because there is no birth, merely a cycling of elements,
then there can be no re-births and no reincarnations (much less multiple births and multiple lives and multiple deaths and multiple re-births). Maharaj asked: "You have not been born once, so how can you possibly be 'born again'?"
Moreover, since there will be no being who lives post-manifestation, there can be no prior-to-mahasamadhi need for special diets, special clothes, special smoke, special chanting, special bells, devotion to special dogma, engaging in the workaholism involved with daily spiritual practices, or fighting and killing in the name of a god).

Because there is no death, there is no
"after-death" or "afterlife." Post-manifestation, the
elements of a plant food body return to the universal pool of elements. Nothing
remains to be judged, to be found lacking, to be deserving of punishment; nothing
remains to be found acceptable or good or even great and therefore deserving of
reward.
The Advaitin Christ was right about a few non-duality
pointers:
No one shall ever see a kingdom of heaven. It is within (if
peace is within).
Heaven and earth shall fade away (as the conscious fades away
because they are just mental concepts, dreamed up and stored in an elemental
brain. The brain will return to the elemental pool, so no concepts can remain.)
When you speak of me, speak of me as I AM (meaning, with no
false identity labels following the phrase "I Am").
Before Abraham was, I AM (what with energy, and therefore, conscious-energy having always been).
I come not in peace but I come with a sword. (He went on to
explain, to be used in order to destroy every assumed or assigned identity which you believe in and hold dear).
So, those are some of the different perspectives which came
after the Nisarga Yoga understanding was combined with the understandings which
came with Realization in the case of the specks of consciousnesses called "Maharaj," "Jesus," "Floyd" and all that have come to the full understanding.
To be continued.
Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
