[FIRST, AN E-MAIL REGARDING THE POSTING YESTERDAY: Before now I never thought about how everything that applies to the non-Realized (image and distortions and lies) is also true of institutions. Religion: I left the catholic church after finding out how they covered up all the sexual molestation that was going on to protect their image. Business: Enron, Arthur Anderson, Tyco etc. all image and distortion and lying. Government: The government tries to keep up its image by lying and distorting truth and putting a positive spin on all their failures. Education: I’m a high school teacher--sorry, teaching happens--and one part of an education class in college was about creating a “teacher image” and looking professional when we start teaching and not looking and acting like college students any more. You nailed it. Thanx for the site. Richard

F.: Hello, Richard. Your observation is accurate, but understand that you haven’t found a “parallel” between institutions and the non-Realized. You have merely witnessed what happens when the non-Realized organize themselves into groups with common agendas. The groups—be they religions, businesses, governments, or schools—will exhibit the dualistic traits of the individualized personas/persons who make up their membership. Thx for note.] Now, on to today's topic:

FROM A SITE VISITOR: Reading your words, I am convinced that the audience for your writings has not yet been born. Mark.

F.: And you write that to this speck of consciousness that was not born, either. Ha. In fact, there is a prospective audience of 6.5 billion persons that these words are for, but the words will only be read by a few of those, will be understand by a fraction of the readers, and will never be read by the remaining billions. But "they" are present, meaning, there are billions of instances where the consciousness has manifested and been warped via programming and conditioning and enculturation, and could be re-purified...if.

Yet this is not a whit different from what has happened over the last 800 years or so in regards to the version of the Original Understanding that is now made available via “the Advaita Vedanta philosophy” (which has been warped by some into “the Advaita Vedanta religion” or “the Advaita Vedanta spiritual teachings”).
The words of the sages and jnanis have been available, but how many will ever break free of the concepts in which they are trapped to seek the Truth via this vehicle? Today, billions of Christians worldwide will gather to worship their Christ without having the slighest clue that his message was Advaitin. Nor will they understand any of his words that expressed the "I AM" and the “not two” teachings of Advaita.

All across the planet, six billion members of the three religions of Abraham are functioning in total ignorance, so the audience for this truth is present right now; however, those persons will not seek the Truth since they are (a) convinced that they have found it and are now (b) driven by their agendas to spread the lies and distortions which they call “The Truth” or "The Good News."

So it is. The consciousness that speaks via this site can have no agenda since there is no “one” to have an agenda. No agenda is behind the words of the consciousness that are offered in book format or via satsanga for the same reason. If not another word is read, it matters not. If not another satsanga session is scheduled, it matters not. If not another seeker requests a book, it matters not.

All perceived “needs” have disappeared; all physical requirements of the space have been met easily since accumulating ended and a minimalistic style of living began; only AS IF living is happening, spontaneously; and nothing remains that prefers either an extension of the manifestation nor an end to the manifestation. It's called functioning from a position of neutrality.
Enjoyment certainly happens though nothing is desired. Nothing is feared since there is nothing to register fear. The consciousness functions from a position of neutrality, knowing that if persons are trapped in seeking the applause of the village, they must also be prepared to accept the scorn of the town as well.

Here, no “good” label is being sought and no “bad” label is being avoided. All is neutral, and all persons can reach that position of neutrality via Full Realization. In some cases, it happens in an instant; in other cases it happens by degree. Either way, it can happen. So the audience is present, but its members will rarely seek. If they happen to seek and to find, that will be even rarer.

An e-mail was received yesterday from a woman who has just read WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DIE? Scores of past beliefs are being seen to have been false, nothing more than the product of imaginings that were rooted in myths and superstitions and passed along for millenia as “the truth.” Yet a residual longing for certain beliefs (a result of attachments) seems to linger. She was reminded...

That which you attach to because it gives you pleasure will eventually give you pain. That which you attach to because it gives you the greatest pleasure will eventually give you the greatest pain.

Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
THE FEATURED ITEM ON SALE (15% OFF THROUGH TONIGHT) IS A NOVEL FEATURING A REALIZED COUPLE AND A NON-DUALITY MESSAGE: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WARS. The pro-peace thesis of this 480-page book uncovers the sources of separation and conflict in relationships on all levels, from couples to countries, all wrapped in a fast-moving mystery/adventure that covers many decades and many continents. A Realized couple is at the center of an intrigue that will expose the ways that institutionalized duality has impacted the citizens of the world for decades. It also shows how Realization can impact the relative existence in a way that can generate peace on a planet where businesses, governments and religions have historically generated separation and conflict because their non-Realized leaders are driven by self and have no clue at all about the unicity...the Oneness.

    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.

    "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.
