F.: In yesterday’s post, an invitation was presented to know the beingness but to transcend even that and merge into the Absolute. In the vision, http://floydhenderson.com/article1.htm, the beingness is known when the sixth level—the True Self, the Pure Witness—is reached; however, it at the final seventh level where even Selfness is transcended, where the borderline between beingness and non-beingness is crossed, and where the consciousness is absorbed into the Absolute that the perfect rest is known. From there, the Functioning of the Totality is understood and the movement from the Absolute to the relative (and to the misery of a limited identification with body) happens:
Then, before fading into the perfect peace of rest in the Totality, Your last consciousness is of the process that had moved That Which You Are from the rest state in the Absolute, past the non-being and into being, and then into whatever that True Self was. You see how you came to witness, how the learned ignorance corrupted the pure consciousness of the child state, how spiritual and religious roles were assigned, how mental identities were accumulated, and how dominated the existence was by the physical body’s fears and desires. You KNOW. And then, even that dissolves. THAT is all there is.
With that understanding, one knows how the consciousness-at-rest manifests, how it is programmed and conditioned through the various stages to create all the ego-states that lead to human suffering, and how eventually it unmanifests and is consciousness-at-rest again. The infinite cyclings are understood. When THAT is known, how could any of the longing that frustrates persons be experienced? It cannot. When THAT is known, how could any of the desires that leave persons with a sense of emptiness be experienced? They cannot. When THAT is known, how could any of the fears that paralyze persons be experienced? They cannot.

To know that You Are the Absolute is to know that you are undying because You Are unborn. You Are That Which Is, Was, and Shall Be, devoid of body or mind when unmanifested and capable of being free of body identification and a corrupted “mind” while manifested via Full Realization. You are invited to see how all desire and longing and fear can be transcended when you no longer embrace the limited identity of a physical body with its (corrupted) “mind.” Those who programmed you were the ones who handed you the belief in a limited, fragile identity. Now, because you have bought into their concepts, you have handed yourself over to the concepts of “birth,” “meaning,” and “death” which, in turn, have resulted in the suffering that comes with fears, desires, and the frustrations of unmet expectations. They inflicted all that on you. By embracing their beliefs, you now continue to inflict all of the fears, desires, and frustrations on yourself.
Only by rejecting the false self and coming to know the True Self can happiness manifest in the relative existence. Do you still not see how “they” have set you up to be miserable? Do you still not see how you were fooled by having their concepts pumped into you as a child? Do you not see that it is all of their bizarre ideas and magical beliefs and rigid dogma and perverted, supernatural thinking that became accumulated into what you call "your mind" that is now the source of all of your frustration and suffering, that is the inspiration for all of your "destructive behavior," and is a key contributor to all of the failed "relationships" in your relative existence? Every corrupted element of your consciousness came from your lessons from "them" and from your experiences with “them.” They abused you, either mentally, emotionally, or physically. Now, you are repeating all those patterns, finding abusers who parallel their conduct and beliefs and then letting them continue the abuse you suffer. Too, you are abusing others subconsciously as a result of all that you have suffered. The cause of all is all that ever happened before, so you need not be blamed or guilty or remorseful. Yet you are being invited to break the pattern and end the cycle of madness by taking the seven-step "journey" to reality. What you are seeking will not provide the relief now being sought.
Why, then, are so many seeking and searching, and why are they then suffering the subsequent frustration of not finding that which they are seeking? Because they do not know that they are, in fact, that which they are seeking and searching for. The only search that can produce any fruit at all is not the search for a noble cause or for a way to change the world “for the better.” The only search that can produce any fruit at all is the search for Self. You Are That which you are seeking! You do not know Who You Are, and you believe that You are that which you are not. Find that True Self and from that platform You will witness purely and clearly the Absolute. Find That and then all the emptiness that drives the search for “this” and the seeking of “that” will end. Peace will happen. Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
