TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS 


[See the offer following this post for details on how you can watch a video which includes a discussion of all seven of the steps on the path used by Maharaj]

Yesterday it was said that more would be offered today regarding the ill-conceived concepts which the masses hold about "love." 

At any given moment throughout earth's entire history of humankind on planet earth, there have only been a few persons who truly understand the difference in the True Love which Maharaj pointed to in his statement that "Love is knowing that I am everything" as opposed to the subject-object version of so-called "love" which the masses speak of. 

For them, it's always like in the sentence "I (subject) hit the ball (object)" except humans don't overuse the word "hit" the way that they overuse the word "love." The rate at which they use the word "love" is so frequent and so excessive that it has been trivialized like all of the words which are generated while humans are moving about while in their sleep talking, sleepwalking state: 

"I love the gifts I got for Christmas / Purim or Hanukah / Diwali (Deepavali) / a Potlatch, etc." 

"I love my dog / cat / hamster / goldfish / parakeet / horse, etc. It's so cute." 

"I loved the meal we had last night." 
"Me, too, and I loved the new wine that David and Mary served with it." 

"I love the new Lexus that my sweetie pie gave me as a retirement gift." 
"I know how you feel. I absolutely love the Ferrari my darling bought me with the Christmas bonus that the investment bank gave to all of their top-ranked employees last year." 

"I absolutely love my daily self-help meetings." 

"I love the people in our church / temple / synagogue, etc." 

"I'm like Linus: "I love mankind. It's just people that I can't stand. Haha." 

"I love the Bible / Qur'an / Torah / the book written by my favorite teacher / the book with my guru's talks, etc." 

"I love killing infidels / terrorists / people in that other sect, etc."

"I love my city / state / country." 

"I love this year's bachelor / bachelorette." 

"I love playing the slots in our local casino." 

"I love the new song just released by _____." 

"I love my counselor. I've been seeing her weekly for 22 years." 

"I love God / Allah / Yahweh / Jehovah, etc." 

See? In addition to the fact that the word is not understood to begin with, it is bandied about so much that it has been demeaned even further through conscious-less repetition. 

And what about when there was an occasional exchange of "I love you, Brother" with someone? The actual message of Oneness behind that was fully understood. And what about when I say, "I love you" to the ones called "my daughter and granddaughter and son-in-law or friend"? Do they understand the actual message behind that? Probably not. So it is. But when I say it, I understand. They can do with it what they will, but that is a far cry from the way the masses use and abuse the word "love."

For the masses, however, it's always about them - the subject - and what they claim to love at the moment - some object. 

Some say, "Well, I might have had some mistaken perceptions over the years about the people and things I thought I loved, but don't tell me not to love my God." 

Okay. I'll let Maharaj tell you: 


[For Maharaj, it was the "third stage" or the third of seven steps on "the path."]

Next, what about the advice from one Big Name Teacher which we've discussed recently, that you should love everything that is or the advice from some "religious" or "spiritual" people that you must love everyone or that you can "hate the sin but must still love the sinner."

To the notion that one must love everyone else: to think that there is any possibility that all “A’s” can love all “B’s” and vice-versa is duality. Real Love IS; subject-object love is not real, based in duality as it is.

At the purest level of understanding, there is no separation into “A’s” and “B’s,” so there can be no case in which any “A” can love “B.” It can simply be understood that there are no “A’s” and “B’s” and that Real Love simply IS. Love is, but it is known only when the Oneness is understood. 

Tomorrow: The Additional, Very Different Perspectives Which Came Via The Vision Regarding the "love" vs. "LOVE" Conundrum

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.
