F.: The end result for persons (contaminated consciousness) and the Realized (pure consciousness) is the same: consciousness in either case will unmanifest into the pool of consciousness and be at-rest. Nobody (no body) will exist. No mind will exist. But for persons, the pointer is this: the suffering that persons experience in the relative existence can end now rather than later; therefore, persons are invited to “die now” if they want peace. Again, what is to die? The ego, the false “I,” which is nothing more than the corrupted consciousness, the personal consciousness, which is mistakenly taking itself—and all the roles being played—to be real. The Realized have already died, meaning they no longer have any personality or individuality, so they are already at peace. They have merged into the Oneness of what is real and have thus escaped the chaos of the false.

The Realized have gained freedom from what persons proudly take to be their spiritual knowledge, which is nothing more than the learned ignorance acquired in the realm of bastardized consciousness. The Realized no longer suffer the affliction of such knowledge that only generates misery in the long run, while persons take great offense at having all their rigorously-acquired knowledge being diminished. But spiritual knowledge brings as much misery as any other false beliefs. We saw one visitor confess that all his spiritual work and seeking caused him to be "frustrated" and "to stay awake at night." We see persons blowing themselves up and killing others because of their spiritual beliefs. We see their women dreading an eternity in which they are to serve as prostitutes for their martyred men. We see people sacrificing and doing without as they give part of their money each week to "holy" men. We see people giving status to suffering "in this life" while awaiting their "reward" in another life. Spiritual knowledge/learned ignorance inspires a whole new level of insanity...of being out of touch with Reality. Look at the false claims by all those persons assuming a religious or spiritual persona as they assert that they have power and peace. Forget what you hear from them and note instead what you can observe as evidence of their self-deception and their deception of others who believe them.

What is the difference in (1) the “husband” who is on his knees begging “wife” to stay so he can be at peace and (2) that same “husband” on his knees the next day begging some power to give him peace after “wife” has gone? Allowing a persona or a Persona to put you on your knees and inspire you to beg is misery in either case. All dependencies will always put you on your knees and disappoint in the end. Such is the despair of being a persona and dealing with personas and/or Personas. How often does that from-the-knees begging of personas or entities really work to provide lasting and uninterrupted peace? (When those offering to align you with “the source of peace” admit that their process only works for one twenty-four period maximum or for a seven-day period maximum, who would settle for such an ineffective plan?) The Realized are free of being trapped in such misery because they are free of their own past personas and free of being co-dependent with any personas or entities dreamed up by ancient men who self-servingly advanced myths and superstitions. So what is that which has died among the Realized, allowing “life” to bloom? The ego-states that were taken to be real identities.

When those die away, the Realized are at peace. The peace for persons can come later when “they” (the consciousness) rejoin the pool of consciousness-at-rest. The only “benefit” to Realization is in the NOW. After manifestation, nothing is known, nothing is felt, no emoting happens. Programmed persons have been taught that they’ll have “eternal peace” in the next life if they are “good” in this life. Well, that is true only to the same degree that a comatose woman is at peace or to the same degree that a completely unconsciousness man undergoing surgery is at peace. Those with a limited identification with a body want continuity…they want that body to last eternally and to be in ecstasy. Those believing in such have been fooled. The body will not last forever, either literally or in a “gauzy” form, but “peace” will result to the degree that no body nor mind will be “there” to experience any lack of peace. The consciousness that will be “there” (in that universal pool of consciousness) will have nothing in which to manifest so it will be both body-free and mind-free. Consciousness can know nothing unless manifested in something with a nervous system; therefore, after the body “dies,” conscious-energy without any awareness is all that awaits.

Upon Realization “doers” end, so doership also ends; the knowing of the beingness begins. The Realized are at peace NOW and will be “at peace” then. Persons are welcomed to Realize NOW and be at peace NOW. Should they choose to continue to accept their false roles, they will accept the chaos that goes along with them. No other possibilities exist in the relative. As the Absolute, no chaos will be known any more than any peace will be known. You Are That Absolute, so You Are that which you seek. Find the True Self and That which is beyond. Find the understanding NOW and experience peace and bliss at the only "time" you can: NOW. Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued]

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.
