TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS

 ANNOUNCEMENTS 

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

2. Here, with those who are still driven to talk about "God," the "Son of God," the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns. See the end of the post for the full meaning and implications of that. 

3. A new video ("Number Ten: Awakening Together Satsang, March 2018") has now been added in the far right column of this page, offering the opportunity to view a recent 2018 satsang session with Floyd being interviewed by Regina and Jacqueline of "The Awakening Together Group." 

THE SEEDS OF DUALITY WHICH PRODUCE DUALITY'S PROGENY: 
Offspring Number Thirty-Five = 
An Inability to Differentiate Between "self" and "Self" and to understand what "the Self" Is and What "the Self" is not and to understand both the not-Self and the not-self. 

So here's the deal with humanity which causes all of their problems:

They are driven by two basic motives: (1) desire and (2) fear. 

And what is the root of all desires and all fears? Ego-states. Assigned and assumed identities and "Identities." The assumption of ego-states (personas, false personality identifications, false roles, false selves, false Selves, etc.) which each have a basic desire and a basic fear which functions most of the time at an unconscious or subconscious level and which determine all thoughts and words and actions. 

That is why humans are so self-contradictory: their thoughts and words and actions are being driven by a host of false selves / false Selves which have agendas which are totally at odds with each other. 

Picture an "angel" on one shoulder whispering into one ear and a "devil" on the other shoulder whispering into the opposite ear. What one is "for," the other is "against," and vice-versa. 

Those words go into one ear or the other but end up being stored in the exact same place - the mind - which becomes the seat of duality because it unconsciously welcomes and unquestioningly accepts totally contrary beliefs and agendas and then allows such opposites and contradictions and inconsistencies and ambiguities and conflicting concepts to coexist and to both have equal influence over everything that is thought and said and done. 

Ships which function effectively have one captain, not two, but the human mind most assuredly has two captains that never agree on anything. 

Thus, once Yeshu'a (Jesus) was introduced to the non-dual teachings, he reportedly shared, "A dual-minded person is unstable in all ways." He did not finish the complete point and say, "All but a few of you are trapped in such dual-mindedness, resulting in the masses being totally unstable; 

and being totally drawn to chaos; and being totally accepting of all of the nonsense taught via programming, conditioning, etc., which inspires them to accept false identities; 

which inspires them to believe in their false selves; and which inspires some of them later on to arrogantly upgrade their false identities to false Self Identities; and which - thereafter - sets them up to be driven by ignorance and insanity throughout the remainder of the manifestation." 

And it all starts with being told as a child that "you are this" and "you are that" and those early assignments of false identities are added to throughout the entire relative existence as persons are driven to assume more and more such false identifications, often clinging to and protecting and being willing to fight for or even die for 60 to 80 false selves at any given time. 

Throughout their adulthoods, most will allow the Big Three Liars - (a) Big Government, (b) Big Business, and (c) Big Religion / Big Spiritual Movements to assign even more (and supposedly even "better") false roles. 

The primary tools which come with each assigned or assumed ego-state or role include egotism, arrogance, conceit, haughtiness, superiority, and pride, and those inspire the upgrading of false identities. 

"The Wife" was fine with "Her Husband," but when she self-upgraded to "The Super Wife," then she required a different codependent, counterpart role player, namely "A Super Husband" to allow the upgraded lie of "The Super Wife" to continue. 

Seeing that "Her Husband" is anything but "A Super Husband," she will be driven to leave him and remain single unless a series of hidden agendas (including desires and fears) inspire her to find another man who seems to have all of the requirements to be "The Super Husband" which her Super status deserves. 

The same is true with husbands who upgrade. 

Ninety-five percent of the humans on the planet claim a religious affiliation, and millions more claim a variety of Spiritual Identities as even more arrogance-based upgrading takes place. The result: all sorts of "Noumenal-based Roles / Selves" replace the phenomenally-based roles which had been played in the past. 

The roles of "The Super Religious One" and / or "The Spiritual Giant" are assigned and assumed and whole new levels of egotism and arrogance come into being as those and other ego-defense mechanisms are used to defend and support false identities and False Identities. 

Thus came this: 

A wife told me that after her husband entered into a self-help program to address his alcoholism, the "Super Saint" who emerged a year later out of that Twelve Step Chute was an even bigger ass than "The "Drunk" that she and the kids had tolerated for years. Her take: she and the children agreed that they could not stand "The Drunk" or "The Saint" for another second and they were leaving. 

The point: assigned and assumed "Selves" can be even more disgusting than assigned or assumed "selves." 

Humanity's problems are rooted in the assignment and assumption of duality-supporting "selves" and duality-supporting "Selves" 

along with the over-abundance of desires and fears which they generate 

as well as 

the egotism and arrogance which they trigger in order to try to sustain their image and the belief in those false identities and Identities. 

That is the deal with humans, and the non-dual understanding is the deal-breaker which the masses need but do not seek. So it is. 

To be continued.

Here, with those who are still driven to talk about "God," the "Son of God," the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns. 

THE EXPLANATION 

If looked at as nouns, they point to illusions and are, therefore, a total waste of time to even discuss; if looked at as verbs which are resulting in certain sane but rare behaviors among humanity, then they are worthy of some attention during the relative existence. 

Meaning? There are members of certain groups who say things such as "My concept of God in the past was of a weak God, an absentee God, A Santa Claus-type God, a mean, punishing, vindictive God, etc. Today, I am in close contact with a loving and caring God whom I worship and praise and glorify and give thanks to." 

The reply to that usually goes like this: "If you are in contact with a God that wants to be worshipped and praised and glorified, then you're dealing with someone like yourself - a narcissist - and hanging out with narcissists will never bring an end to your narcissism (that narcissism evidenced by the fact that you think you are "godly"). 

Next, in the phrase 'loving and caring God,' any supposed God that truly had her or his act together would tell you that the totally irrelevant part of that phrase is 'God' and that the only part that is relevant is the "loving and caring" part. 

"That is, a non-narcissistic god / goddess would say, "I care not an iota about being worshipped and praised and glorified by you or anyone else. How arrogant and insecure and needy would I have to be to want that? Forget the man-made, dreamed up noun 'God' and focus on the 'God as a verb' understanding and then go forth and let loving and caring be verbs - not adjectives - and let them generate the act of love and the act of caring and let those actions manifest through you." 

Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on: 

"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within" 
--Yeshu'a (Jesus) 

and 

"Heaven and earth shall fade away." 
--Yeshu'a (Jesus) 

 and 

"Heaven and hell are not geographic places 
but are states of mind, nothing more than 
concepts dreamed up by men." 
--Pope John Paul II 

"There is no hell." 
--Pope Francis, the current pope 
in an interview with journalist Eugenio Scalfari, 
a writer used by the Pope to issue off the record 
teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium. 

[That said, would that the popes who have shown the courage to reject a core concept of their dogma - namely, "hell" - would find the additional courage required to question the very existence of their institution in light of the centuries-long cover-up of their history of raping children and in light of the mental and emotional and psychological scarring of billions of their members past and present. 

And that need for courage also applies as questions need to be asked about why so many other sky cults are still being supported and allowed to continue to exist as well. When certain types of programming and conditioning have been shown to blind the masses, they should end. Will they? Not likely. Why? 

Because what the masses think and say and do is most influenced by the international crime families which hold sway over the masses as criminals conduct their planet-wide operations. What are the major international crime families and which are the most influential and have the largest memberships? 

The Mafia / La Cosa Nostra; the Catholic Church (with it 1.2 billion followers); Protestant and Evangelical Churches (with over 1.2 billion followers) like the one I was raised in where the youth director molested and sexually assaulted young girls; big business which has long created environments in which people have been abused; powerful political bodies like the U.S. Congress, etc., etc., etc.) 

With all of those crime families, neither the followers nor the leadership ever voluntarily step down or shut down their criminal activities. Be they gangs, organized crime families, religions, big business, politicians, etc., they all want control and they all want power and they all want money, and nothing internal will interfere with the driving forces at play. 

The masses must demand that all those in charge must step down and their groups and institutions must shut down, and there's the real problem because the continuation of their crimes are enabled not as much by the people running such crime organizations as they are enabled by the masses of people who - wanting some perceived "payoff" - remain involved with them and give them money and support them and aid and abet the continued existence of those criminal enterprises and thus facilitate the ability of church criminals and political criminals and other types of criminals to continue to commit their crimes.]

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.
