From a site visitor: "What motivates you, Floyd, to take the time to present and explain Realization?"
F.: Nothing motivates "me." There’s no “one” to be motivated. Can you motivate the energy that moves through your vacuum cleaner? What happens with this space you called “Floyd” just happens. Puccini’s words best describe AS IF living, post-Realization: “E passeranno I giorni,” he said, meaning “And the days will go by.” What happens…happens. The difference is, there is no do-er, no author. For a few years after Realization, teaching still happened in order to meet the basic need of the plant-food-body (food, clothing, shelter, etc.) but there was no “Teacher.” There being no “Teacher,” there certainly was no “Super Teacher.” Only the consciousness speaks, but your question does offer an opportunity for visitors to differentiate between when it is the pure consciousness that speaks and when it is the corrupted consciousness that speaks.
When the pure consciousness speaks, there is no “Speaker” or “Super Speaker.” The pure consciousness understands the functioning of the totality and may explicate that functioning…or not; if the consciousness is bastardized, then it will always be one or more personas—one or more of the phony, assumed identities—that will seem to be doing the talking. For example, from the assumed persona of “The Lover” will come words that are self-serving, that reinforce the false self and that try to engage “others” to fulfill the desires and wishes of that ego-state. That persona will say anything and everything that it thinks necessary to try to convince another person (a) to play the required counterpart for that role to exist and (b) to do what “The Lover” wants done to reinforce that false self.
Similarly, such self-serving words will come from every other ego-state assumed by personas. The words that emanate from any false personality will attempt to convince you to accept more roles and to become “The Spouse” or “The Protégé” or “The Follower” or “The Supporter” or “An Adherent” or “The Good Employee That Enhances Profits” of “The Republican” or “The Democrat” or “The Buddhist” or “The Advaitan” or “My Guru” or “The Jihadist” or “The Troops” or “The Atma” or “The Devotée” or “The Seeker” or “The Sage” or “The Spiritual Aspirant” or “The Yogi” or “The Christian” or “The Muslim” or “The Good Boy” or “The Good Girl” or “The Good Son” or “The Excellent Daughter,” ad infinitum. The corrupted consciousness will always try to manipulate a listener to accept more beliefs, to mimic certain behaviors, to give or contribute or serve, to assume more roles, to worship this or that, to follow certain dogma or to accept certain teachings, to accumulate more knowledge, to think a certain way, to emote, to accept all the tenets of a certain ideology, to attend this meeting or that meeting on a daily or weekly basis for life, to give your money to support them and the phony roles they are playing, or to join this or that group or organization or church or party.
The pure consciousness offers an invitation to the corrupted consciousness to de-accumulate…to be free of roles that set persons up to be manipulated, to be rather than do, to use any teachings only to the point that they free you of all concepts and teachings and ideologies, to feel without becoming emotionally intoxicated, to realize how it is that the consciousness came to be manifested, to realize how to live naturally, to see the insanity of unnatural or supernatural living during the relative existence, to realize how persons use beliefs and ideas to manipulate you, to know what happens when the consciousness is no longer manifested, and thereby to be free—totally free—of the insanity of programming and conditioning and enculturation.
It is the pure consciousness that is speaking if the invitation is to stop believing lies, if the invitation is to use reason and logic rather than being driven blindly by dogma and emotions, if the invitation is to give up the beliefs that result in so much fighting across the planet, if the invitation is to discard all of the nonsensical concepts that are rooted in ancient myths and superstitions that were dreamed up by ignorant people, if the invitation is to realize What You Really Are instead of believing you’re something that you’re not, if the invitation is to be free of fears and misery and suffering, if the invitation is to discard the ego-states that inspire arrogance and egotism, if the invitation is to abandon all phony images and to be genuine, and if the words assure you that you do not need to donate huge sums of money—for the entire remainder of your relative existence—in order to find peace or to understand the truth that is already within and which you can tap into if you hear the pure consciousness speak and then take what you hear into consideration. Please enter the silence of contemplation.
