FROM A SITE VISITOR: [Received 14 Dec 2006] Today, you said that spiritual role-playing is nothing more than one step in becoming fully Realized. I believe that I am a spiritual creature having a human experience. Being a spiritual creature is not a step on the way to some higher level—it is the highest level.

F.: Believing in the concept of “creature” reveals that you also believe in the concept of creator. Since you likely have a conception of that creator, you could also likely share that god’s qualities, characteristics, or features. Do you not understand that anything that supposedly has attributes must exist along a timeline continuum rather than cycling as that which has no continuity? Do you not understand that anything existing along a timeline and exhibiting traits must be finite, not infinite? So, there could not have possibly been any creator or god existing prior to an act of fornication that eventually brought “your” body into being.

[It has been said, “Floyd, millions of people can’t be wrong about God and the role he plays in the birth of each child.” Correct. In fact, it is billions who are wrong. In one poll, 87% of Jews, Christians and Muslims said that their god is involved in each instance of pregnancy. It has been estimated that no more than 5% will ever Realize fully. Even that number might be high in light of the fact that most adults don’t even know how babies are made.]

Now, to that body which you take as part of your identity. Whatever remains after that body disappears had to be prior to that event. Since there was no spiritual being before, there will be no spiritual being after. Since there was no creation before, there will be no creator after. And since there was no creation or creator, That Which You Are is not a “spiritual creature.” Nor is That Which You Are a human, either. What was prior to that body was consciousness and elements and oxygen, but not a body and not a celestial body-maker. And since there was no “mind” or personality before you were programmed, there will be no mind or personality after. Therefore, if you would abide as the Absolute NOW, you must be rid of all body and “mind” and personality and spiritual persona identification…NOW. Then, an understanding of the functioning of the totality can happen. At that point, nothing is beyond comprehension when the consciousness is pure, whereas all that is believed prior to the re-purification of the consciousness is nonsense. Please enter the silence of contemplation.

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.
