THE SEEDS OF DUALITY WHICH PRODUCE DUALITY'S PROGENY: 

Offspring Number Sixty = 

No Interest in Being Truly Free and Independent 

THE MASSES PREFER DEPENDENCY AND CODEPENDENCY AND ATTACHMENT TO THE THINGS WHICH ROB PERSONS OF THEIR FREEDOM 

[Continued from yesterday] 

This was the focus of Maharaj’s use of the Ultimate Medicine in the later stage of his teaching: to free the masses of their propensity to prefer dependency and codependency and attachment to the things which rob persons of their freedom. 

He said that it is the primary role of the “non-dual teacher” to (a) free persons of the “learned ignorance” and mind-based “stupidity” and the "insanity" they have been taught and that (b) if that occurs, then they will have attained “realization.” 

Whereas his early days of teachings were heavy in dogma and whereas his large block of “middle years” spent with Westerners focused on “spirituality,” his later years focused on what he came to understand about the Ultimate Sickness:

It is not rooted in too-little dogma and it is not rooted in a sick spirit or in a spiritual malady but is a psychological / psychiatric / mind illness rooted in personality identification and in the personality disorders and neuroses and psychoses which come with personality identification and with their hidden agendas which are marked by excessive fears and desires. 

The first nine personality types which manifest to one degree or another in all humans bring with them a multitude of disorders including: 

The Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (PD), the Depressive PD, the Narcissistic PD, the Histrionic PD (which generates Emotional Intoxication), the Factitious P.D., the Somatization P.D.,

the Avoidant P.D., the Masochistic P.D., the Borderline P.D., the Schizoid Avoidance P.D., the Schizotypal P.D., the Passive-Aggressive P.D., the Paranoid P.D., the Co-Dependent P.D.,

the Addictive P.D., the Bipolar P.D., the Antisocial / Sociopathic P. D., the Pathological P.D., the Sadistic P.D., the Passive-Aggressive P.D., and the Dissociative P.D. as well as Hypomanic Episodes, and psychological splitting. 

In most cases of the Ultimate Sickness, something comparable to the Capgras Delusion also manifests as a delusional misidentification syndrome which is commonplace among the masses, a class of delusional beliefs which involves the misidentification of people, places, or objects. 

And that is just the short list of the psychological problems which most persons among the masses will develop should their manifestation last for a period of multiple decades. 

Especially, it should be seen that most of the problems of this planet are centered in the mind, including . . . 

. . . the belief that man has been given dominion over plants, animals and the resources of the planet and has the right to use all of that as he chooses - thus negatively impacting the environment - is a mental problem; 

. . . the arrogance and sense of separation which lead to conflict on all levels is a mental problem; 

. . . the anxiety and stress and preoccupation with efforts to live according to the dreamed up rules and regulations and laws and commandments of someone else's dogma in order to spend eternity in an upgraded version of "this world" as opposed to a downgraded version of "this world" is a mental problem; 

. . . the fact that Real Love is mistaken for what the masses call "love" is a mental problem (a mental illness accompanied always by a lack of Wisdom, a failure to understand Oneness, and an excess of ignorance), as is the chaos which follows when their version of "love" is seen to have been false; 

. . . the instability of persons' thoughts and words and actions is a mental problem (“the non-dualist” called "Jesus Christ" purportedly having said that "A dual-minded person is unstable in all ways"); 

and 

. . . being unstable is one surefire sign of the presence of a mental problem. 

It should also be seen, as Maharaj came to see, that dogma and spirituality generate the playing of more false roles and the assumption of more bogus personality identifications than any other sources and, therefore, generate more personality disorders than any other sources. 

Most significantly, that which generates more personality disorders and neuroses and psychoses than other sources cannot possibly heal personality disorders and neuroses and psychoses. 

What is called for is a process which eliminates personality identifications and which eliminates all beliefs and thereby allows authenticity and clear perspectives to manifest which leaves in its wake zero concepts and zero beliefs and zero false identifications (including "the relative ones" and "the so-called phenomenal ones" as well). 

Only then can freedom from the symptoms of the Ultimate Sickness occur. 

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.]
