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.: So, to review:
Over the span of the total human experience, a means developed by which message-bearing, dualistic images called "archetypes" could be transmitted genetically from one generation to the next.
That, in effect, has assured that every infant - and, therefore, every child that becomes an adult - will be driven by the dualistic content stored in what has been called the “collective unconscious of the human race" which is the blocked off memory of our human past, even of our pre-human experiences.
The unconscious memory evokes profound emotional responses - and will lead to emotional intoxication - when events trigger a primordial image from the unconscious memory.
Maharaj: "... unconscious memory makes the world in which you live so familiar."
The result: duality was not originally inherent, but now, every human comes with a genetically-encoded belief in duality when archetypal pairs come into play, including such dualistic pairs 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."
When subconscious forces control thoughts and words and deeds - whether those forces are rooted in innate duality, in learned duality, or in the fears and desires which are at the heart of every personality / persona, then choice no longer exists. The result of that: the masses move through the relative existence while being driven by falsehoods, illogical desires, senseless fears, distorted memories and inherent and learned ignorance.
As if the religious and societal and cultural sources of learned duality are not challenging enough to those seeking sanity and freedom and peace, the innate duality that "pre-wires" persons to believe in duality aggravates the extent of the obstacles to Realization that drove Maharaj to predict originally that
"only 1 in 100,000 will Realize," which he later modified to
"only 1 in 1,000,000 will ever Realize" and, in the end, to predict that
"only 1 in 10,000,000 will ever Realize."
The odds may not be favorable, but they can be surmounted, and have been. You must see that "the world is too much with you" by seeing that, in fact, "You are not in the world" and that "the world is in you."
"The world is in you" means that it is in your mind. To be free of it, you must cast aside the egotism-driven attachment to the content of "your mind" (which is not "your mind" at all but which is, in fact, "their mind").
To be free of the high's and low's of the relative existence, you need not end the relative existence or wait for it to end. Short of Realization, the relative existence can generate a sense of being tethered outside the last car on a "roller-coaster-kind-of-life" and can leave persons feeling as if they are being pulled along and tossed about by a life that is endlessly moving up and down and swinging them this way and that.
In that situation, of course the driving desire becomes a desire for control (the primary human addiction) and a desire for power (the secondary human addiction) in order to be able to control.
As a result, persons either search for Realization or they turn to the relative means that persons use to gain a false, egotistical sense of control over others by ...
... trying to move to the top of one or more of the many hierarchies that cultures "create" in the minds of persons;
... trying to become the head of a large business, supposedly gaining power over large numbers of people among the working class;
... joining gangs or joining groups such as police forces, armies, etc. that provide a sense of strength in numbers;
... accumulating levels of wealth that allow persons to manipulate and control others in need, especially when those in need feel the most vulnerable and are living under the blinding influence of a panic attack;
... becoming teachers, lecturers, or writers who have a knack for manipulating the masses by attaching nonsensical elements with mass appeal to teachings that point toward Truth ; and
... instilling fear in the masses by predicting all sorts of horrors on the horizon but then promising that you have the means to protect them.
How futile is the search for the illusions of control and power when that search by the non-Realized can only take place in an illusory world to begin with.
Maharaj on having no "control": "When there is a situation in which I have to talk, I hear myself talking. In some other situation I may not hear myself talking. It is all the same to me. Whether I talk or not, the Light and Love of being what I am are not affected, nor are they under my control. They are, and I know they are"
and
Maharaj: "Realise that you are not the master of what happens, you cannot control ...."
and
Maharaj: "What is wrong in letting go the illusion of personal control" ... which is "in the mind only?"
Yet there is an exception:
Maharaj: "Either you are body-conscious and a slave of circumstances, or You are the universal consciousness ItSelf - and in full control of every event."
Next, are there exceptions to the pointer that real power during the relative cannot be tapped into? Yes:
Maharaj: "Develop the witness attitude and you will find in your own experience that detachment brings control. The state of witnessing is full of power; there is nothing passive about it."
Feel a panic attack coming on? Feel vulnerable and hopeless? Feel needy, needing this or needing that? Feeling the need to take drastic, immediate action? Stop. Pause. Turn away from the relative sirens calling your ship to the rocks. Wait for "The Blowing of the Still." Listen for pointers that will guide you back to the safety of the Truth, pointers coming either from your teacher or - in the absence of that source - from the inner guru. Turn to the only power there is: the power of Reality.
Maharaj: "Reality is not a shapeless mass, a wordless chaos. It is powerful, aware, blissful; compared to it, your life is like a candle to the sun."
There is nothing so powerless as those persons who believe that they have power as a result of their relative "station" or "accomplishments." Only those who have become free of the influence of their relative delusions and madness can tap into the only power that is real: the freedom-producing, peace-generating power of Reality ... of Full Realization.
Accept what one recently called the greatest gift of all - the gift of knowing the True Self; then, accept the gifts that accompany that: Light, freedom, bliss, peace, Love.
Otherwise, trapped within "the world" that is too much with you, even as the illusion of happiness seems to manifest, you will be miserable and will suffer more of the time than not. The only way to move through the relative with stability and a sense of freedom and peace is to "develop the witness attitude" which will allow for non-attachment to "good relative things" and "bad relative things."
As mentioned yesterday, it is from that standpoint that one can literally know and feel "the pure presence" and can literally know and feel Pure Love.
For the masses who are lost in their illusions of control and power, sadly, they will be driven to emote rather than feel, emoting around their sense of being important persons and missing the feeling of pure presence, emoting around their misperceived false love rather than feeling Pure Love.
Not knowing Pure Love, which arises from being at one with all, they may be intelligent but they will enjoy nothing that comes from Wisdom. Not knowing that they are not all of the wonderful things that they imagine themselves to be - thinking they are "really something, really something special" - they will not enjoy the freedom of the Nothingness.
So it is, but so it need not be. Follow the "path" to its end and find Real Love; find Pure Love; find the Nothingness while also finding simultaneously Pure Presence. Without finding those, then persons who believe that they are powerful, in control, intelligent, wealthy, strong, and in charge will actually be the least powerful, the least in control, the least wise, the poorest, the weakest, and the most insanely reckless of 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."

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."
