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.: To the recent pointers on harmony, disharmony, and the "not-two harmony," there has been added an element of judgmentalism by some. Let it be said that, here, there will be no talk about any specific teacher who is teaching this or that and there will be no talk of one method being superior to another method. Methods have been explained. Seekers can read those explanations and determine on their own which might be relevant to their search.
As with Maharaj, there are cautions against false prophets and big name teachers in general, but those seeking to debate the pro's and con's of "individuals" or desiring to discuss "things personal" about teachers will have to continue their search.
Let it be said that there is much misunderstanding among those who think they have Realized and who now want to judge teachers and draw conclusions about what amounts to nothing more than the variety of ways that the relative existence can unfold post-Full-Realization. Consider:
Questioner: "Must I not examine the teacher before I put myself entirely into his hands?"
Maharaj: "By all means examine! But what can you find out? Only as he appears to you on your own level."
Q: "I shall watch whether he is consistent, whether there is harmony between his life and his teaching."
Maharaj: "You may find plenty of disharmony - so what? It proves nothing. Only motives matter. How will you know his motives?"
Q: "I should at least expect him to be a man of self-control who lives a righteous life."
So one who believes he had the ability to judge a teacher of non-duality speaks of controlling a "self" and speaks of the duality of "righteous" (vs. unrighteous). Interesting.
Of course one must be awake to the words being shared for there are far more false prophets than Realized teachers. Maharaj's warning about aligning with "the big name teachers" differs here only in that he said that if you do that, "you'll get what you deserve." Here, the message is that "you will not get what you deserve."
Judging and critiquing and ascertaining and assessing and testing and all other such nonsense of the type that led to two people being tossed from this electronic loft recently are futile exercises. Those recent exchanges here differed somewhat from the Q" and "M" exchange above. Again, here's the crux of the exchange with M.:
Questioner: "Must I not examine the teacher?"
Maharaj: "By all means examine!"
The recent exchange here went like this:
Questioner: "Must I not examine the teacher? I have examined you and find that you fall short."
F.: "Better that you examine yourself and YourSelf."
So many who think they have walked into the light are not there at all and want to point out all the ways that the Realized are "not living the way that a Realized one would live." Such belief will block any seeker from understanding the pointers being offered here regarding light and lightness, harmony and disharmony, and everything else as well.
First, there is no pattern or mold or standard by which those standing in the full light of the noonday sun must live out the relative existence. Some teach; some do not. Some indulge ego and egotism while some will toss an egomaniac out of a loft tout de suite. Some withdraw fully; some merge. Some continue with past relations; some end them.
But the more relevant point is this: you need not enter into an ego-driven act of judgment to determine authenticity or lack thereof. Whatever you think you are seeing outside of you is never what you think it is. "Better you examine yourself and YourSelf."
If that happens, then one of several things will follow:
1. There will be a resonance triggered within. You may not know Truth, but you will know that you are hearing pointers to Truth;
2. There might be no immediate resonating within, but if you stay long enough to be guided through a process of self-examination rather than teacher-examination, that resonance may manifest eventually;
3. You fail to hear what your ego-states want to hear, so you continue to seek and search, often seeking the bigger name teacher who surely has the bigger, better method.
What then of the "not-two harmony" being discussed here? Cannot a test for harmony be part of the teacher-test that some want to engage in? How valid is the "harmony vs. no harmony" test? How could one possibly know what is within the teacher if it is not within the examiner?
Maharaj: "Jnani understands a situation fully and knows at once what needs be done. That is all. The rest happens by itself, and to a large extent unconsciously. He is supremely confident that once a situation has been cognised, events will move in adequate response. The ordinary man is personally concerned, he counts his risks and chances, while the jnani remains aloof, sure that all will happen as it must; and it does not matter much what happens, for ultimately the return to balance and harmony is inevitable. The heart of things is at peace."
In order to guarantee an environment in which those ready to hear were able to hear, there were times that Maharaj removed from the loft those who would move the spotlight from the message to themselves ... to their false selves.
It certainly appears to many that those removals were "evidence of Maharaj's disharmony" and, therefore, "his lack of Full Realization." Not so. Recently during a walk around the lake, a mother was ignoring the fact that her child was hitting ducks with rocks.
He and his mother both would report to you that "this floyd fellow certainly has no harmony," but putting an end to his hitting of those ducks happened spontaneously; then, the walk continued as before. Shortly, there was a shooing away from the face a swarm of gnats. Would that also be deemed evidence of disharmony?
When a deer moves away from noise, is that evidence of the deer's disharmony? Hardly. But it must be asked, why the focus on the harmony or disharmony of "others" when the only thing that is any of your business is your own harmony or disharmony?
Maharaj: "You create disharmony and then complain! When you desire and fear, and identify yourself with your feelings, you create sorrow and bondage. When you create with Love and wisdom, and remain unattached to your creations, the result is harmony and peace. But whatever be the condition of your mind, in what way does it reflect on you? It is only your self-identification with your mind that makes you happy or unhappy. Rebel against your slavery to your mind, see your bonds as self-created, and break the chains of attachment and revulsion. Keep in mind your goal of freedom until it dawns on you that you are already free, that freedom is not something in the distant future to be earned with painful efforts but perennially one's own, to be used! Liberation is not an acquisition but a matter of courage, the courage to believe that you are free already and to act on it."
Yet some claim, "It is my inner voice that is telling me about that person, that teacher, etc." Understand: when in the darkness of being separated from Self, the inner voice being heard is not the inner guru but is the voice of one personality after another.
Maharaj: "True awareness (samvid) is a state of pure witnessing without the least attempt to do anything about the event witnessed. Your thoughts and feelings, words and actions may also be a part of the event; you watch all unconcerned in the full light of clarity and understanding."
The inner guru is drowned out and cannot be heard when the inner voices of false selves are shouting instructions and directions that can guide you to the edge of the cliff ... and over.
Recently, when there was a witnessing of one walking along the edge of the cliff, it might have appeared to an observer that "floyd has certainly lost his harmony." Yet the "not-two harmony" was manifesting perfectly intact, allowing the relative issues that were confronting "another" to be discussed with pointers that were rooted not in the relative but in awareness instead.
That fact allowed clarity and Love to speak; that alone facilitated "the return to balance and harmony"; that alone allowed "the heart of things to again be at peace." What may have appeared to be "floyd's disharmony" was proved not to be that at all, for if there had not been a harmony between the I AM THAT and the I AM, then when the consciousness spoke, no "return to balance and harmony" would have followed.
Yet neither "floyd" nor Floyd has ever pulled anyone from the brink. Only pointing has ever happened: "Over there is solid ground; in the direction you are headed is a cliff and relative suffering. Which way shall you go now?"
Was the happening surrounding that recent case all about the relative? Yes. Were non-relative pointers being offered that could be used to toss light onto those relative issues? Yes. Does that mean that the one offering the facts surrounding those relative events has surely been pulled into the disharmony of the one at the cliff's edge?
Of course not, appearances be damned. Does Realization mean caring ends? Of course not. Mistake not caring or sadness for disharmony. But if light is to be cast, the teacher must walk into the disharmonious darkness where the light is being called for. Will the teacher physically grab the one walking toward the edge of the cliff in darkness and try to force that one to turn? Also ... of course not.
Will the teacher continue to offer the light? To a point, yes. As long as the prospect remains that one is at least willing to allow the teacher to continue to shine the light at the edge of the cliff, the teacher will stay as long as required. If one turns her / his back on the teacher and the light, then the teacher can, and shall, only witness what happens.
Might the end results sometimes lead the teacher to feel caring and sadness? Yes. Is that an indicator of non-Realization? Hardly.
Maharaj: "Beyond the ‘I am’ there is the immensity of light and Love. We do not see it because we look elsewhere; I can only point at the sky; seeing of the star is your own work. Some take more time before they see the star, some take less; it depends on the clarity of their vision and their earnestness in search. These two must be their own - I can only encourage."
So it is.
As with Maharaj, there are cautions against false prophets and big name teachers in general, but those seeking to debate the pro's and con's of "individuals" or desiring to discuss "things personal" about teachers will have to continue their search.
Let it be said that there is much misunderstanding among those who think they have Realized and who now want to judge teachers and draw conclusions about what amounts to nothing more than the variety of ways that the relative existence can unfold post-Full-Realization. Consider:

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."

SIX WAYS THAT SEEKERS HAVE REALIZED:
1. BY WATCHING the 4-Disk Video (DVD) Set, or the same retreat available as a downloadable file. Either will provide an entire seven-hour retreat / series of satsang sessions showing three seekers being guided through all seven steps by Floyd and can provide viewers with an “experiential,” step-by-step series of satsang meetings that will move the viewers from identification with the I to abidance as the Absolute and then to abidance as That Which Is beyond
Some seekers are already using the computer file version and the DVD sets for meetings in groups in homes, playing the retreat, pausing for discussion, etc.
To find out more or to purchase the DVD set or the downloadable computer file version of the retreat, click:
DVD or Downloadable computer file versions of the Four-Day Advaita Retreat
Option “A” is for the downloadable file version, Option “B” is used to order the DVD set for delivery inside the U.S., Option “C” for international orders.
For the download, Paypal will send me a notice that payment has been received and then I will send by e-mail the downloading instruction, password, etc.
[It is recommended that you watch the video with pen and paper in hand. Write whatever you need clarified. You'll see that there are constant reviews and you might find an answer later in the seven-hour presentation. Then, after you watch it all, there will be a common ground for discussion. Purchase of the DVD’s or the file will include the right to clarifications and answers to your specific questions via e-mail.]

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."
