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.: Brad Mills (a "psychotherapist and councellor" in the Sydney, Australia area) has developed a chaos / control model for diagnosing and treating clients.
Seeking to incorporate into his model the non-dual teachings as well as the enneagram personality typing that is taught here, weekly Skype sessions have been used to show how personality and the non-duality understanding can be a perfect adjunct to his chaos / control model.
As with the Advaitin teacher, there is much that any psychotherapist or counselor invites persons to realize. In both cases, the invitation is to see the Realization-blocking obstacles that prevent persons from being free, whether the freedom being sought appears to be freedom from drugs or alcohol or from anything else that persons become addicted to.
In the end, what is to be seen is that it is not freedom from substances or destructive behaviors that is to be sought but is freedom from self that must be the object of the search. Trapped in the self or in multiple selves, the primary addiction among humans (the addiction to control) manifests; that drives the secondary addiction among humans (the desire for power in order to control).
Consider the results of an Amazon.com search for books dealing with "power": it yields 236,476 hits. Consider the way that persons take Maharaj's message and add elements about gaining "power" and "success" in order to warp the message into something that has mass appeal.
And it is the addiction to control and power which supports every personality and persona (which, in turn, controls the thoughts and words and deeds of the non-Realized and which drives them to create chaos as they seek control in either an overt or covert manner).
In "The Theater of the Lie," that is the central theme of every piece of drama that is played out on the stage: the chaos that persons generate when they are bored and when the adrenal glands referenced yesterday are under functioning.
As a result, persons are walking through the existence in a state of lethargy or melancholia or depression. If they can stir up some chaos - if they can "do something," be it risky or exciting or, even in some cases, potentially fatal - then the adrenals kick in and they "feel alive," momentarily.
Temporarily, their staggering "Night-of-the-Living-Dead-style-march" ends, but another fix will soon be required, driving persons to become addicted to chaos as well.
Those trapped in the personality type of the controller are the same. Their rages provide an adrenaline surge that also makes them "feel alive," and that is quite the stimulating feeling for the controller types who can disintegrate into full-blown sociopaths who feel nothing. At least when they are raging, they finally feel something, even if it actually involves emotional intoxication.
And all of that addictive behavior is about escape, another half of an innately dualistic pair. Consider the historical messaging regarding the dualistic pair of "captured vs. escaped," messages sent down genetically from human ancestors, messages that once pointed to that which facilitated the survival of the species.
Consider how many times there were close calls on the veldt, escaping this animal's clutches or that animal's claws; the ravages of this storm or that storm; an attack by one tribe or another. Can you not picture the relief that came with escaping? Can you see why "escaping" took on a positive connotation that now drives persons subconsciously to try to escape by any means possible?
Then, it was a "life-or-death" issue. Now, issues that are nowhere close to being about "life-or-death" are blown totally out of proportion and given that status by those trapped in the delusion and madness that characterize the existence of the non-Realized.
Innately, as a result of that dualistic pair, "escaping" took on a positive connotation. Now, as with all dualities, it had backfired. The species is functioning in an escape-mode rather than in a stand-up-and-face-mode. Is it any wonder that estimates are that 99%+ of all humans on the planet are addicted to something being used to try to escape? And is it any wonder that such addiction results in efforts to control or a desire to generate chaos?
What the Advaita teachings offer above all is balance and stability:
Balance (between the relative and Your Original Nature, between the I AM-ness and the THAT-ness)
Stability (when detached from relative issues and abiding as that Original Nature)
Stability (so that chaos is not preferred)
Balance (so that addictions to control and power do not blindly drive persons to seek that which does not even exist)
What about you? How balanced is your existence? How stable are you? Is the Advaitic understanding calling you home to the only "place" where stability can possibly happen?
Are you wearing yourself down by chaotically seeking to escape rather than using the skills you have to face your relative issues while standing firmly on the platform of the Absolute so that attachment to your problems will not trigger the useless search for the power to control (which also generates chaos)?
Are you still being driven by both innate and learned duality?
Are you not yet tired of the chaos, of the futile search for power that will allow you to control?
Maharaj tried to shift the focus of persons away from their efforts to control other people and all things with this pointer: "To control yourself - know YourSelf."
Then only, he declared, can you "stand without desire and fear, relinquishing all control ...," making clear that control is nothing more than "an illusion" anyway.
Every personality type will either try to use covert control or overt control to address relative desires and fears that accompany every personality or will engage in creating chaos overtly or covertly. What a miserable way to move through the relative existence.
Or, as an alternative to that type of existence, do you understand the message behind these words received recently that express exactly what Realization can lead to when it ends (1) attachment to all of the limitations of the relative existence and (2) attachment to all of its chaos as opposed to the limitless being ... to the lightness of just being:
" This morning, there is just this pure presence ... LOVE. How is it possible to describe what happens when this pure presence sees the recognition in the eyes of the one who is looking. A beautiful morning to you."
Of course, what was being described is the joy, the bliss, that manifests when the pure presence and Love are seen and felt via Realization.
Every morning is beautiful when Realized.
No morning is beautiful if not, and no afternoon is beautiful if not, and no evening is beautiful if not.
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."

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."
