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.
Also, as for Maharaj, you will find more of the message that he offered in his later talks. During his last years, he said of I AM THAT: "That book and whatever was expounded at that time was only relevant for that period. I am speaking differently today" and am "emphasizing different aspects." His final understanding, quite different from what he offered early on, is the basis of pointers offered to seekers well along the "path." Maharaj made clear at the end that the pointers in I AM THAT will take you to the midpoint of "the race"; only the pointers in his final talks point the way to "the finish line."
F.: Prior to the duality-generating mix of programming + conditioning + domestication + acculturation, there are the genetically-transmitted, dualistic, archetypal images that amount to innate duality.
Archetypal images include characters, such as:
"The Mother" and "The Father"
"The Hero" and "The Villain"
"The Sage" and "The Fool"
and hundreds of others; thus, persons come pre-wired to accept roles as reality and pre-wired to accept as true identities whatever labels and roles and personas are assigned to them.
Additionally, archetypal images come in dualistic pairs such as:
"light vs. dark" and "white vs. black"
"good vs. bad"
"wet vs. dry" or "dry vs. wet" (depending on whether persons believe that there has been "too much rain" or "too little")
"up vs. down" and "high vs. low"
"together vs. apart or alone"
"strong vs. weak" and
"big vs. small."
More recent images have been added to the mix as well, including:
"pretty or handsome vs. ugly"
"wealthy vs. poor"
"successful vs. a failure"
"smart vs. dumb"
"tall vs. short"
"powerful vs. not"
"religious vs. hedonistic"
"spiritual vs. not"
"good weather vs. bad weather"
"good days vs. bad days"
"happy vs. unhappy"
"upper class vs. lower class" and
"good memories vs. bad memories."
The latter duality functions in the same fashion as do personalities, bringing desires and fears which rob persons of a sense of harmony and which rob them of any chance at finding stability.
Maharaj: "Desire is the memory of pleasure and fear is the memory of pain. Both make the mind restless. Moments of pleasure are merely gaps in the stream of pain. How can the mind be happy?"
yet
Maharaj: "Your world is mind-made, subjective, enclosed within the mind, fragmentary, temporary, personal, hanging on the thread of memory."
Questioner: "So is yours."
Maharaj: "Oh no. I live in a world of realities, while yours is of imagination. In reality there are no persons, only threads of memories and habits. At the moment of realisation the person ceases."
Because the masses are not realized, then everything they experience is seen through a distorting lens; then, that distorted view is filed away in the storage area of "the mind."
A triggering event or scene can cause the stored memory of that earlier event to be retrieved from the storage area and to be taken in the present as an accurate recall of the way things were.
But can something originally seen in a distorted fashion be recalled later in a way that is not distorted? Of course not. Type a word document filled with typos, save it to the storage area of your computer, retrieve the file later, and you will have recalled not only the original document but all of the original errors as well.
Moving through the relative existence while being driven by
(1) archetypal images that are passed down genetically and by
(2) new images assumed to be real and by
(3) persona-inspired thoughts and words and deeds and by
(4) delusional mental / emotional stimuli and by
(5) distorted memories
will result in the belief in "a world" that is pleasing at times and most displeasing even more often.
How to be free of the belief that images are real, that distortions are fact, and that "this world" or "others" are not providing what is required (and deserved) for you to be stable and happy?
Maharaj: "I do not need the world. Nor am I in one. The world you think of is in your own mind. I can see it through your eyes and mind, but I am fully aware that it is a projection of memories; it is touched by the real only at the point of awareness, which can be only now"
and
"Memory creates ... illusion ..."
and
"I don't live by memory. I see the world as it is, a momentary appearance in consciousness."
Yet how many on the planet are unhappy or even miserable (and, therefore, completely unstable) as a result of appearances ... as a result of mirages that are arising from the fiction-filled "mind"?
How else to be free?
Maharaj: "You cannot be alive for You are life itself. It is the person you imagine yourself to be that suffers, not You. Dissolve it in awareness. It is merely a bundle of memories and habits. From the awareness of the unreal to the awareness of Your real nature there is a chasm which you will easily cross, once you have mastered the art of pure awareness."
And how else to be free?
By understanding that all misery is rooted in dualities such as those listed below which drive misperception which, in turn, will result in a sense of need and, eventually, a sense of emptiness:
"full vs. empty"
"enough vs. not enough"
"less vs. more"
"de-accumulation vs. accumulation"
"everything is going to be okay vs. nothing is going to be okay at all"
"optimism vs. pessimism," ad infinitum.
All such dualistic misperceptions will prevent any chance for you to enjoy freedom from instability and unwavering peace which can come ...
... only when taking a position of neutrality
... only when witnessing objectively whatever unfolds (or does not unfold)
... only when seeing all (a) through the clear lens of Realization rather than (b) through the distorted lens of memory
... only when abiding spontaneously rather than trying to control and
... only when abiding spontaneously rather than generating the chaos that follows efforts to try to control.
After all of your efforts to control and direct and solve and avoid and avert and gain, what can you admit has been the end result, truly? Have you succeeded?
After all of your efforts to acquire what you think you need to be happy and stable, if you acquired that, have you succeeded at being consistently happy and consistently stable?
After all of your efforts to acquire what you think you need to be happy and stable, if you have not acquired that, are you not yet tired enough? Are you not yet tired enough to give up a desire for what is not and to find happiness and stability within the parameters of what already is?
Have you not witnessed the deer and learned what they can teach? Hot or cold, do they not move right along? If they are ill, do they run and fight and struggle, or do they rest? If storms come, do they race into the storm to "take it on" and try to control it, or do they huddle down and wait - calmly - for the storm to pass?
Do they create chaos? Do they try to control even one thing, much less try to control everything?
[Tomorrow: More on stability-robbing chaos and efforts to control and the desire-to-control linkage to the search for relative and other-worldly power]
Please enter the silence of contemplation. (To be continued)

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."

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.

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."
