F.: Recently, the following invitation was extended to site visitors:
“You're invited to forget magical, supernatural explanations and to find the true, scientifically-provable facts, for in that finding, you will come to know Who/What You Truly Are and You will understand the functioning of the totality: ‘What is it that really cycles…and what does not?’ and ‘Where were you prior to conception? That is, before the sperm fertilized the egg, where was the sperm? How did that sperm happen to exist in that location? Since neither the sperm in men nor the eggs in women are obtained by eating sperm or eggs, what was consumed that ‘made’ the sperm and egg and that provided its energy? Where did the energy that was in that consumed source come from?”
For those who took the questions offered in the 12 May 2006 posting into consideration and found all the lies that they had believed and then found the truth, then their search has ended, their “spiritual work” has been transcended, and they are now living an AS IF existence in which they know the I AM and also know the THAT. They are free, meaning “free of the nonsense that was programmed into them.” For those who have not yet reached the point of Full Realization, each pointer shall be discussed.
A recent poll indicated that eighty-seven percent of all adults in the U.S., and possibly an even higher number worldwide, don’t have a clue how human babies are made. Please note that the survey did not say that “children” don’t know how human babies are made. It showed that “adults” don’t know how human babies are made. That percentage indicated that they believe that after an act of fornication results in an ejaculation, from that point forward a god or some supernatural force takes over control of the route run by the 20,000,000 sperm released per ejaculation and determines their course. Those persons believe that in the case of the two conceptions per second that are occurring on the planet (along with the occurrence of thousands of other instances of ejaculation that do not end in pregnancy) that there is a god that is micro-managing—at any given second—the movement of trillions of spermatozoa. They believe that, in each case, some other-worldly power is determining which single sperm cell—of the trillions released per second on the planet—reaches which particular egg or reaches no egg at all. (While many believe that it is a sin to waste sperm, they ignore the fact that even when an impregnation occurs, 19,999,999 other sperm die and are thus “wasted.”) Where better to begin a discussion of "sense and nonsense" than in the faith-based lies and misunderstandings around conception? The Realized not only understand how conception happens but also know where “they” were during the days prior to conception. So what is that “faith” that can lead adults to believe in the nonsense that 87% believe in? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “faith” is “a firm belief in something for which there is no proof.”
Relatedly, what is “sense” and what is “nonsense”? Knowing the difference in those two is the essence of Realization: the Realized recognize and discard nonsense; persons have “a firm belief” in nonsense.
For those on “the path” to Realization, the task is (a) to pause regularly, (b) to focus on every idea, concept and belief that is “firmly believed in” by the majority (and that has been passed on to you), and (c) to question each and every idea, concept, and belief to determine if you are holding firmly to something that can be proved or if you have blindly accepted what “they” told you is the truth.
The survey mentioned above shows that 87% of all persons do not stop to question even the most nonsensical of the magical, supernatural ideas that they have accepted as “their” beliefs, and it is their magical, supernatural thinking that prevents natural living. After decades of presenting the Teachings, Maharaj estimated that the percentage of those who are blindly accepting nonsense is 95% or more and that the percentage of those who will ever Realize is 5% or less. When was the last time you questioned any of your belief systems? What—other than the ego that is generated by the assumption of ego-states as false identities—would prevent a person from pausing to ask, “Why do I believe that? Is it something that I sensed intuitively, or is it nonsense that 'they' dreamed up and that I blindly accepted as fact?” Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued]
