Here, there is nothing that is believed, so there is no one here who wants you to believe anything, either. Here, the invitation is to be free of all that you have been programmed, conditioned, acculturated, and domesticated to believe so that you can be free, period.
Furthermore, for those who have developed a preference for any non-nisargan yoga or who prefer Traditional Advaita Vedanta, Neo-Advaita, Neo-Vedanta, or Pseudo Advaita: here you will only find the use of the Direct Path Method of teaching along with the Nisarga (Natural) Yoga, all shared in simple, everyday English.
F.: During one session in the loft, Maharaj offered this pointer: "Realise your Real Self and even drugs will have no power over you."
The questioner who challenged Maharaj at that point, noting that Maharaj smoked tobacco, missed the point: the Master was speaking less of drugs that result in physical addictions (which of course have no power over You) and more of the mental drugs and emotional drugs that lead to the two most prevalent addictions on the planet, addictions which mark and mar the relative existence.
One is the primary, near-universal addiction among persons and the other is the secondary, near-universal addiction among persons. And though both addictions have spanned the millennia, they are more pervasive today than ever before, the first giving rise to the second and both feeding off of each other to generate misery and suffering around the globe.
The primary addiction among persons is not to nicotine, is not to one or more of the vast array of drugs that are presently being abused, is not to alcohol, is not to shopping or spending, is not to sex or "love," is not to food, is not to work, is not to the internet, is not to porn, is not to working out at the fitness center, is not to chaos (which is the case with millions if not billions), is not to adrenaline, and is not to their favorite television shows.
The primary addiction among persons is to their desire to control, and the secondary addiction is the desire to have power that will allow them to control. Described on this site in 2008 were the roots of the modern day communion service which can be traced back thousands of years to the desire of humans to control the weather:
At one point, all of the earliest pagan religions had “specialty” gods, such as a rain god. That god, so claimed his self-appointed "representative on earth," is made less angry if his rep has intercourse with a virgin, cuts out her beating heart with a sharp rock, eats the body, drinks the blood, and then passes the same through the crowd so all can have “communion” with the angry rain god and entice him to drop some water on wilting crops so that people might have body continuity.
Consider what that one historical fact alone reveals. Consider how sick and demented those early, pagan priests were: they dreamed up a plan whereby they could rape virgins, cut open their chests, kill them by removing their hearts, and eat those hearts while drinking the blood of virgins. And they were able to use their religious and spiritual doctrine to convince the masses not only to accept the act but to participate in it. Then, consider how sick the priests and preachers and parishioners are today to cling to similar beliefs and practices. THAT is the level of insanity in which religions are rooted and THAT is the insanity by which religions function today.
So on Sundays around the globe, two billion Christians to this very day still participate in their "communion service" involving "body and blood" (i.e., "cannabalism" and "vampirism") so that they can be closer to god and tap into that supposed source of power to get what they desire.
But "THAT is the insanity by which religions function today"? Yes. In the series entitled, "The Delusion Regarding 'Positive Thoughts Instead of Negative Thoughts'," as example was offered that showed the same nonsensical belief even today among self -described "persons of faith" who believe that they can control the weather if they tap into the power of a god:
In the 1980's, when visiting the farm of his father-in-law, "floyd" was looking forward to a lunch at The Roundup Restaurant; to earn his meal, he had to travel with his wife and her family into the nearby town and attend a Lutheran church service. The talk among the members before the service dealt only with one topic: the need for rain for their crops.
The description of the events that followed were shared in that earlier series:
"After a multi-hour prayer service for rain by south Texas farmers, “floyd” mentioned over lunch to those petitioners that the weather report that morning said that a stationary front was covering the entire state and was likely to extend the drought for weeks, if not months, which is exactly what transpired.
[Forks dropped around the table. Mouths hung open. His wife was first appalled and then embarrassed and then enraged by his lack-of-faith-in-the-power-of-prayer comment. The description continued:]
So "floyd’s negative thoughts" were said to have undone any possible benefit from the hours of positive prayers of an entire congregation, and one Lutheran in the group charged later that his "lack of faith was further evidence that he was a new age agent of Satan'." The crops all died in the end, and the culprit behind the failure had been identified, according to the faithful.
Meanwhile, "The Culprit" was sure he had identified one more example of what Maharaj called, "Stupidity, verging on insanity." To those lost in the dream and addicted to their desire to control - and to have the power required in order to control - facts and truth are anathema. Fantasy and faith are the driving forces among personas who play out their control-obsessed and power-obsessed dramas on the stage of "The Theater of the Lie."
Such is the insanity that prevailed throughout cultures thousands of years ago when persons thought that their desire to control the weather could be fulfilled; such is the insanity that prevails throughout cultures today as persons think that their desire to control the weather can be fulfilled.
Here in the southern states of the U.S., as hurricanes enter the Gulf of Mexico, the masses gather to pray to be "spared a direct hit," the subconscious but implied meaning of such petitions to their god being, "Make the hurricane go somewhere else and hit others - just don't let it hit us."
And such desire to control plays out on a daily basis, in fact, on a minute-by-minute basis:
** A woman wrote recently to complain about the fact that her dog has died and that she was not able to heal it and extend its life. She was asked how she came to the point where she believes that she should be the one to decide and control who or what lives, and for how long?
She was asked what persona thought she should be able to control the course of all canine illness and to assure longevity and to take charge of the treatment process and to control outcome even when the professionals dealing with the pet's illness proclaimed there would be no healing.
Another woman came here with her husband who is addicted to pornography. For a decade she has played "The Parent" to his "Child." For a decade she has thought she can control him, but for a decade her snooping around has revealed a thousand times that she cannot. Yet her fight goes on, her belief being that if she can lay out enough rules of conduct and then enforce them, she can control him. Ignoring the pointers offered here, she has most recently turned to god. The church - and a god -will provide the power she needs to control her spouse, so she now claims.
And millions of times a day, the same type scenario plays out as "A Lover" tries to control "A Lover"; as "The Spouse" tries to control "A Spouse"; as "A Man of God" tries to control "His Congregants"; as "The Sponsor" tries to control "His / Her Protégés"; as maniacs try to control traffic flow and force others on the road to make way for them;
as persons try to control the flow at checkout counters in stores; as "Super Teachers" try to control "Their Not-So-Super Students"; as "The Politicians" try to control the masses; as "Leaders" try to control "The Leaders of Other Nations"; as armies try to control the masses in the countries they invade and bomb;
as "Right-to-Lifers" try to control what women can and cannot choose to do with their own bodies; as "The Super Religious" try to control sexual preferences, try to block suffering individuals from having the right to the dignity of euthanasia to end their 24/7 pain, and try to control who can marry whom and who cannot marry whom;
as "Financiers" try to control all of the money in their cultures; as "The Police" try to control segments of society whose rights have been violated for decades or centuries, who have been uneducated, and who have been provided with no saleable skills that can be used to meet their basic needs;
as "The Military" spends billions on weaponry and "manpower" - and invokes "Godpower" before each battle - believing that the combination of "might and right" will assure that they have the ability to control all of the people of the world; as "The Boss" tries to control the persons who are not actually working not for him but who are only working for a paycheck;
and as nearly 7 billion persons turn every day to the god or gods that they have dreamed up in order to attain the power to control all people and all places and all things in order to meet whatever selfish, relative desires they have or to alleviate whatever typically unfounded fears they imagine each day ... or whatever fears that are imagined for them each day.
The examples of the desire for power in order to control are near infinite in number. Tomorrow, the Advaitin take on the concepts of "control" and "power."

The Twice-Stolen Necklace Murders offers the non-duality message by way of a mystery-adventure novel, discussing the movement from pain to healing to awakening to peace.
From Dr. R.F. Maley, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus and former Head of the Department of Psychology, University of Houston: "Floyd Henderson's book, The Twice-Stolen Necklace Murders, is a fun read and an interesting mystery, but perhaps more importantly it serves as a vehicle for blending Eastern Philosophy and Native American Spirituality to make an intellectually challenging novel. The book's insights into both relationships and authoritarian conditioning of people in our society make it a must read, tracing the roots of narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic behaviors to the very core of the culture. This truly witty and politically-incorrect study of the aggressive nature of 'the American character' offers not only a diagnosis but also a treatment plan, making the book an excellent supplemental reading in courses such as psychology, anthropology, philosophy, sociology and counseling."
