“Everything that I say is to be used to get rid of another false belief until all ideas and emotional intoxication and beliefs are gone and nothing remains but the unstated understanding. Only then can the constant churning and re-churning of the false beliefs of the corrupted mind finally cease.”

[Continued from 9 August 2005]
F.: “The fact that ‘mind’ is rooted in wrong programming and lies and concepts is why I told you early on that, in order to be sane, you must be out of your mind. I told you that the Truth cannot be stated. Take the converse of that point to realize that any words said are the false. Every comment you hear in the coming week will be false. Listen objectively and see that every statement you hear will reveal how far removed the speaker truly is from knowing the truth. Everything that I say is to be used to get rid of another false belief until all ideas and emotional intoxication and beliefs are gone and nothing remains but the unstated understanding. Only then can the constant churning and re-churning of the false beliefs of the corrupted mind finally cease. It’s that constant movement of contaminated consciousness that results in the variable, obsessive ‘mind’ that can find no rest. The intent of those using substances that can result in what is wrongly called ‘a loss of consciousness’ is not to ‘lose consciousness.’ It's to lose, to escape from, that troublesome, restless mind. All means of escape but one will provide only a temporary respite, at best. These Teachings are the permanent solution. Why? Consciousness is not ‘lost’ at the end of excessive drinking or drugging. Awareness is missing. Consciousness of consciousness is missing. The consciousness remains, but as in sleep, the person is not aware of being conscious. We know the consciousness remains because if we enter the bedroom and shout the name of the sleeper, then the sleeper will become aware and answer. Such is the case with persons. They are not aware of being conscious, of being consciousness. You can shout their name, ‘You Are That!’ but they will not answer because of the deep state of sleep that their programming and conditioning has lulled them into. The only movements in consciousness that they are conscious of are the movements of contaminated consciousness. The pure consciousness is not known because they are so far removed from the ‘Pure Witness stage.’ They will also be pre-empted from knowing that, even asleep, the consciousness remains; therefore, they’ll not realize that when that ‘final sleep’ comes, the consciousness remains then as well. The true solution is to recognize all the false, discard it all, and then remain in the bliss of pure consciousness.”
Q.3: “I’m still lost in terms of one aspect of the consciousness.”
F.: “Specifically…?”
Q.3: “I guess I’m most confused about the movement, from the ‘field’ you talk about to the manifestation in a plant and then into animals, humans, etc.”
F.: “Do you understand the archetypes he [pointing at Q.2] mentioned earlier?”
Q.3: “I know what archetypes are, yes.”
F.: “What are they, basically?”
Q.3: “Well, Jung felt that, passed down as a result of the totality of human experience….”
F.: “Excuse me. Most basically. In one word. What's an archetype?”
Q.3: “You said it earlier…it’s an image.”
F.: “Right. Now, how are those images passed down to humans?”
Q3.: “Genetically.”
F.: “So those images come from this huge ‘field’ of ‘human experiences’ and are passed down by particles of material that we’ll call genes, right?”
Q3.: [Pausing] “Right.”
F.: “So particles can carry images?”
Q3.: “Right.”
F.: “Can energy move in a particle form?”
Q3.: “Sure. Light has a wave-particle nature.”
F.: “And obviously light moves, so focus on the particle part of the nature of that energy. Is consciousness energy?”
Q.3: “Yes."
F. "We talked about using the EEG to measure the patterns of electrical activity in the brain. Let's go back to that. Various ‘states’ of consciousness can be measured and logged using the instrument. But if the equipment denotes a ‘flat EEG,’ does that denote death of the food-body?”
Q.3: “Some would say so.”
F.: “But does it denote the end of consciousness?”
Q.3: “No, because what’s being measured is electrical activity, and consciousness is an energy form, and energy can’t be destroyed.”
F.: “So consciousness is in movement when manifested, and its ‘range’ of movement expands as consciousness eventually returns to the field. You Are That which is forever. The food-body that allows the consciousness to know itself is temporary.” Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued 11 August 2005]

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.
