THE COMPOSITE UNITY Re-Visited, Part Three

An Advaita forum focusing on Realisation, enlightenment, non-duality, Real Love, peace, freedom, Your original nature, abiding naturally, the Oneness, the Nothingness, and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

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.

FROM A SITE VISITOR: Understanding your teachings about the composite unity is at least for now providing some real relief. Thanx.

F.: Recall this pointer from yesterday:

Is a log any less a mirage - any less misperceived - than the smoke that rises in the fireplace? No. Logs engage with nothing that is not real. So it can be among persons as well.

Next, consider this point that Louise offered in her recent series:

It is not necessary to engage with personas. It is enough to simply look directly and see that they are not fixed or solid but are a constantly shifting and changing stream, ephemeral, like smoke.

Like smoke. Ever in flux, as are non-Realized persons throughout the relative existence. Ever changing in appearance, as are humans during the relative experience. Ever coming together and coming apart until the final coming apart, after which neither logs nor persons will be resurrected and after which neither logs nor persons will exist elsewhere.

As noted, a log and a human are exactly the same, so the same "fate" awaits: the elemental parts will return to the universal pool of elements; the oxygen will return to the universal pool of air; and the conscious-energy will return to the universal pool of energy.

End of that specific story. Might some components be drawn into additional cyclings? Maybe yes, maybe no. It cannot be known for it all happens spontaneously without any plan or planner or Planner.

Therefore, all who tell you that they know exactly what is going to happen - and even tell you the details that have been dreamed up by persons and that have been sustained by magical thinking and by acceptance of myth and superstition as fact - those persons actually do not have the slightest clue about the facts or about Reality now or "later."

Their "world" that is centered in body-mind-personality identification has become very crowded, fictional though it is. In that "mind-world" of dualistic thinking, there is Pope Benedict XVI and there are parishioners; there is his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and his followers; there is a special guru in special clothes with his regular entourage.

In that very crowded "world" of body and mind and personality, there are preachers and followers; imams and followers; rabbis and followers, priests and followers; there are the Oshos of the world and their followers; there are the big name teachers and their devotees;

there are kings and their subjects; there are those selling the supposed secrets of the universe and those selling their bastardized versions of Maharaj's teachings ... warped by adding elements that appeal to the power-and-control-seeking masses who prefer duality over unicity and darkness over light;

there are those who sell dreamed up nonsense and those willing to buy it; there are holy people in opposition to the ungodly, the secular, the immoral, the evil, the blasphemous (like "floyd"?); there is the consecrated and the unconsecrated; there are spiritual giants and spiritual pygmies (like "floyd"); there are cops and robbers; saints and sinners; blacks and whites; gays and straights; right-wingers and left-wingers;

there are the right and the wrong; there are war-mongering patriots and those puny peace seekers the patriots despise; there are the billions of close-minded persons vs. the few that are now totally mindless; there are persons living supernaturally and unnaturally and a few abiding naturally;

there are the rich and the poor; the accepted and the rejected; the loved and the hated (who can become the hated and the loved); there are saviors and killers; there are the compassionate and the sociopaths; walkers and racers; and there are a few fixated in a peaceful mode and the masses that are forever in a combative mode.

That fictional world - a product of the fiction-based mind - is a very crowded place, and a crowded mind can know no peace. Always, beliefs and ideas and concepts are rattling about inside that storehouse of lies, bouncing about wildly like the metal sphere in a pinball machine. An endless stream of thoughts are constantly ricocheting about, blasting the brain with endless noise and strum und drang.

Often the thoughts and ideas and concepts and beliefs will break out in noisy, peace-ending pontifications or dictations or posturings, often explaining how clearly such talkers purport to see (though their vision is actually limited by the worst case of mental and emotional miosis imaginable).

All of that describes what a relative existence is like when abiding blindly as the body-mind-personality triad. Conversely, there is abidance as it unfolds after the understanding of the triad of the composite unity. That tomorrow.

Please enter the silence of contemplation. (To be continued)

3. BY ENROLLING in the Online Advaita Classes

Received 19 August 2010 from one that just completed the entire course:

I would like to extend deepest appreciation towards you for these teachings that you have offered. It has been most valuable towards what may not have been revealed throughout this manifestation labeled "anthony." Understanding Truth and finding words for gratitude are one as is all. Thank you again for pointing "me" to THAT and the understanding that came as well. Hopeful for future "contact"! Sincerely, Anthony M. W.

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."
