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.: A few visitors have questioned the pointer here that consciousness and duality cannot be separated, suggesting that the "pure consciousness" sees only the Oneness.
One asked for more clarification around this pointer shared recently:
Maharaj: "At the root of my being is pure awareness, a speck of intense light."
Two questions specifically referred to "consciousness vs. awareness" which is not in itself an accurate description. All will be addressed.
The explanation of Consciousness / Awareness is book length, but understand that Awareness is a potentiality. The specialized type of energy called "awareness" is awareness-with-no-aware-of-ness.
It can manifest in a plant with a nervous system and the property of conscious-of-ness can manifest then as well. The conscious-energy in the plant will cause its juices to rise in the morning and to fall at night;
will cause the plant to make daily adjustments, moving ever-so-slightly to optimize the amount of sunlight it collects; and will cause the plant to draw nutrients from the soil and grow in size.
If humans eat a plant-cum-consciousness, then a transference of that energy-that-is-capable-of-being-conscious-of will occur, but for those visitors who question the pointer here that consciousness and duality cannot be separated, understand this:
It is accurate to suggest that early on in the 14-million history of humans or human-like beings, the consciousness could be said to be "pure" or "non-dualistic" in its nature. Duality was not inherent then as it is now. Now, every human comes with the genetically-encoded belief in duality, the source being what is called "archetypes."
Carl Jung taught that behind each individual’s “unconscious” – the label he applied to the blocked-off residue of every human's past – lies the “collective unconscious” of the human race which he saw as the blocked off memory of our human past, even of our pre-human experiences.
The unconscious memory makes powerfully effective for us a group of “primordial images ("archetypes") shaped by the repeated experiences of our ancestors and is expressed in myths, religions, dreams, fantasies, and literature.
The term can especially refer to an image or a character type that occurs frequently in literature, myth, religion, or folklore and, therefore, evokes profound emotions in the reader because it awakens a primordial image in the unconscious memory. (Thrall, Hibbard, Holman).
The purpose for storing images and memories (which came after the brain tripled in size) was to perpetuate the species. Stored in the genetic structure of humans and now passed along from one generation to the next are a series of messages that are an accumulation of the residue of the entire human experience.
Is it any wonder that so few will abandon duality and Realize? The signals passed down from your human ancestors now manifest as dualistic sets that offer opposing concepts, one of which in each set helped humans survive in the past; thus:
** light vs. dark sends the message that, historically, light provided a better chance for survival than traveling about in the dark, so light is to be preferred over darkness;
** up vs. down sends the message that the high ground has historically been less impacted by flooding than the low ground and that the higher ground is easier to defend in battle then the lower ground; and
** together vs. alone, suggesting that as the population of the planet grew, there was safety in numbers from invading tribes or groups so it is better to be in a relationship and community than not.
Every child comes "equipped" with thousands of such dualistic pairs stored away in the "collective unconscious," so notice what the modern "package" called "a human" brings with it from the womb:
1. Genetic encoding that now automatically "pre-wires" an infant to instinctively and inherently be attuned to duality;
2. Memories, passed along via genes, memories that are totally rooted in duality;
3. Beliefs about "this" being "better than" that as well as the belief that everything at its core and everyone at her or his core can be labeled "good" or "bad";
4. A genetic pre-wiring to be emotional, setting the stage for almost every person on the planet to be trapped in the condition of emotional intoxication which was discussed in the prior postings;
5. A setup to welcome rather than question all dualistic concepts because of their familiarity, resonating within as "truth" and leaving the masses unable to differentiate true from false; and
6. A propensity to accept images as significant and real.
Because the source of all insanity is duality, then the consciousness by its very nature is going to be unstable. Fail to become free of its influence and you will experience an existence that is marked and marred by instability.
These symbolic, genetic markers which contain memories of past events from throughout the history of the species now assure that duality will find a welcoming audience and that non-duality will seems quite strange to the masses.
The inherent components and structures of the psyche - located in the collective unconscious and forming a most-influential element of "the mind" - now retrieve images by way of triggering mechanisms. Once triggered, those images in "the mind" will categorize everything seen and heard by use of the most basic of all dualistic pairs so that persons now readily conclude that this is “good” and that is “bad.”
The terms "good" and "bad" became commonly used by humans to appraise and evaluate and classify and divide and separate all happenings and all persons and all things and all places. Duality became the leading influencer of humanity's thoughts and words and deeds and beliefs and ideas and remains the same to this day.
Consciousness allows the bogus mind to operate, and with its propensity to see all in dualistic terms, the consciousness-supported "mind" has devolved into the key source of flux and fluctuation and instability and insanity and insane behavior.
The antidote? Understanding the point behind the words of Maharaj that were shared earlier: "At the root of my being is pure awareness, a speck of intense light."
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."

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."
