From a site visitor: What can Realization do to help my unrest? I become furious (or depressed) when I see such diversity in the lifestyles of people across the globe. I want fairness and equanimity, but I see none. I look at this world and I see people in war torn nations fighting for their lives and I see other people putting all their energy into killing the innocent. I see people in prosperous nations like here in the U.S. who are fighting to get into stores to buy games and toys while other people are scrounging for a morsel to eat. I’d like to see some sense to this world, but I can’t. Can Advaita help me get free of this? Steven

F.: [Continued from yesterday] So, nature offers no equity. Fairness and equity are not natural, no matter how much your romantic and idealistic personality might want that to be the case. When deer overpopulate an area, they die a painful death by starvation. When rats overpopulate an areas, they become anxious and then hostile; finally, the stronger rats kill the weaker ones to reduce the overpopulation. Every hen yard on the planet has a pecking order. All creatures that live in community, from apes to elephants to lions to humans, function within the framework of what amounts to a hierarchical social structure.
Among persons trapped in personality, Type Eight Peacemakers will always be trampled upon and abused by Type Eight Asserters if their paths cross. Is the “fairness” you desire even remotely possible in any situation on this planet? And as you desire a perfect world, what would you have happen in regards to naturally-occurring events—where some people are ravaged by the effects of tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, mudslides, and floods…but others are not? Has the planet experienced even one moment's peace on a "worldwide" basis since the first megalomaniac was given control of a national armed force?

Do you see how impossible your dream of planet-wide equality really is? You probably think that at least humans should be exempt from inequality. Nature does not work that way, whether persons like it or not, and objective witnessing can only lead to the conclusion that there is far more benevolence (and far less violence) among the animals than among persons. But for you to want the happenings on the planet to alter so that they conform to your desires is highly egotistical, so it becomes clear that you are operating from a state of being trapped in your assumed ego-states. Do you now see the problems that arise from your entrapment in dualistic thinking, believing as you do that you know what is “best vs. worst” or “helpful vs. harmful” for this “world” that you’ve dreamed up? As far as your classifying persons with that dualistic term of “prosperous” (vs. “deprived”), WHO do you think is “prospering” or being “deprived”? The fact is that the consciousness can own nothing, nor can it be deprived of anything (except of its purity when manifested).

Finally, it is understood that you will find no peace in these words, but peace might come (and fury might go) via consideration of these words. So how to “get free of this” when equality seems so desirable to you but is, in fact, nothing more than a concept? Understand that it is from the ignorance of this consciousness—this very beingness itself—that everything in this entire manifestation has evolved. You are trapped behind the imaginary bars of an imagined prison. You think you are grasping those bars and shouting to some jailer to let you go. What the Realized are witnessing is a person standing out in the open--totally free without knowing it--and raising his hands into the air and holding onto nothing and shouting at someone who is not there. You appear to be completely insane to the Pure Witness. To be restored to sanity, transcend the beingness and abide as THAT Which You Ultimately Are.

To have aspersions cast upon this beingness will strike some Advaitan protégés as obtuse when they have been told to focus on the I AM. That is an exercise for those in the early stages. Yes, the consciousness via this space called “floyd” took note of the Is-ness initially and focused on that alone. Yes, the consciousness via this space focused only upon the I AM. Yes, the consciousness via this space abided therein. But the ultimate freedom you seek can only be attained when you too transcend even this beingness (and even the beliefs you have about the non-beingness), and abide as the Absolute. That is Full Realization, and only that will provide the Full Freedom that you seek. Until that happens, you will continue to believe that you are in the world instead of realizing that the world you hate is in you. 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.
