From a site visitor: [After sending a private e-mail response to a woman, inviting her to stop playing “The Savior” role, she was driven to respond]: I am awake to the essence of being. Why shouldn’t I carry my message to others who are sick as I was? What would you suggest I do? I am a vessel of truth. Is it not selfish to keep it to myself?

F.: “Awake” and “my”? “Carry your message”? “Others”? “Sick as you were”? “Do” and “self”? “I am” followed by a label? “A vessel”? A purveyor of “truth”?

Dear Vessel,
No more responses will be offered to you after this final pointer: Only among the Realized would the logic of emptying each vessel be understood. Among personas, vessels are believed to be of value when they are full of something. It is suggested again that you stay away from people and audiences for a period, that you go into the silence instead, that you see that you really are full of something, and that you find out what it is that you’re really full of.

To all other site visitors: Evidence is provided above to show that persons who are only parroting the words can claim in one sentence to be enlightened but reveal in the next that they are not. Additional pointers that can be garnered are these: during their dream, dreamers are convinced that they are awake. Those not in touch with reality can stand in the dark and claim that they are in the light. Only the ego thinks that it has valuable knowledge that others need to know. Only ego seeks a captive audience. Only ego believes that persons need to know more. Only those trapped in duality see “others.” To “do” is also about ego. Use of “possessives” (as in “my message”) is about ego. Anything associated with the relative that follows “I am” is a lie. As for “the truth,” it can be known but it cannot be stated. Since it cannot be stated, no one can share truth. Among the Realized, the “emptiness,” the Void, the Nothingness is understood in the beingness; it is personas who engage in doingness and who think that they are full of knowledge and intelligence when they are actually full of self…and full of much more. 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.
