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.
As for Maharaj, you will find here some of his early pointers for beginners but some of his later pointers that are for seekers father along the "path." 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." What he offered later differed considerably from his earlier talks, making clear that the pointers in I AM THAT will take you to the midpoint of "the race" but that his final talks point the way to "the finish line."
F.: During the first week of June, this four-book anthology,
Please enter the silence of contemplation. (To be continued)
Some prefer a paperback in hand rather than reading books on a computer or an e-reader. Because of the generosity of Andrew Gugar, Jr., who wants to make this message available to those people, all four books in the Advanced Seekers' Series are being offered in this one volume for $19.95 + S&H rather than the usual price of $39.95 for a 352-page anthology.

which is available for pre-ordering now, will ship. (You may click the picture for more details.) In anticipation, certain excerpts from the four books in the paperback collection will be offered.
The following is from the book FROM THE I TO THE ABSOLUTE (A Seven-Step Journey to Reality), which is included in the anthology, and is an excerpt from a transcribed satsang session:
Questioner: “Your talk about moving beyond these roles [assuming a religious or spiritual role or identity] is scary because I’ve always been taught this is my only hope.”
Floyd: “How’s that hope working for you? Can losing false identities harm your True Self, or would the loss of all false identities finally reveal your True Self? What you find ‘scary’ is not this talk. What you fear is the loss of continuity of the body and mind and personality. You want immortality for something that is temporary! Set the personas aside and your fear will be replaced with peace. See the immensity of the Totality, not the limited life of a body-mind-personality. Get free of your unachievable desire to make the transient into the permanent. Seeking the unachievable will assure you a lifetime of feeling separate and angry. You'll exhaust yourself with needless effort.”
Questioner 2.: “You really bother me, saying religion and spirituality aren’t the final answer. I’m only alive today because I found a spiritual solution to my problem.”
F.: “The best question I could ask in reply would be, ‘Who is bothered?’ but I’ll go with second-best and ask, ‘Who said to let religion or spirituality dissolve?’ I see no likelihood that either will fade from the screen. Each of you, on the other hand, has an opportunity to be free of two additional, limiting personalities. I identified the next two obstacles that must dissolve in order for the journey to continue: religious and spiritual persons. Personas are false. How can anything false progress? The journey halts when personalities believe they have arrived. Don’t consider the inseparable I Am / Absolute as ‘separates’ by believing that these ‘Seven Degrees of Separation from Reality’ are real. They are the illusions.”
Q. 2: “I think that I’m a spiritual creature having a human experience.”
F.: “I read that book too, so you now think what another person thought. Aside from what any human or religious or spiritual person thinks, what do you know … within?”
Q. 2.: “I know I have the power of faith, which it doesn’t sound like you have.”
F.: “Ha. Oh, I have faith … faith that the Totality will function. Functioning will happen. My teacher said that there’s a current of energy that flows within the space when manifested. He suggested that I know that energy and its functioning. I do, so I have faith that happenings will happen, infinitely.”
Q. 2.: “I think your problem is that you must have been given a negative concept of God along the way. I came up with a God of my own conception. If you can’t like that God you were raised with, I suggest you come up with a God of your own understanding that you can be comfortable with.”
F.: “Yes, I’ve also read that book, but after making that suggestion to choose your own idea of God, it tells you to ‘cast aside all ideas.’ So which is it?”
Q. 2: “I don’t care what you say. The bottom line is, I have a Power that you don’t have.”
F.: “Actually, you’ve proved that your Power doesn’t exist.”
Q. 2.: “Hardly.”
F.: “You told us that you have chosen your own conception of god, that you 'came up with a god.' You created god. That itself is a very interesting twist in the dogma. But more to the point, you admit that your god is a concept—an idea fabricated by a conditioned mind. You’re admitting that you dreamed up a concept and now believe in the dream. If one dreams that he's sleeping with his favorite starlet, he's no less alone. If he awakes from that dream and still believes that she’s there, a delusion exists. We’re supposed to be moving away from the dream state and to the awakened state. All concepts are just notions or inventions or conceits. We’re on the path to no concepts, not more concepts.”
Q. 2.: [Raising voice] “I know for a fact that my Higher Power is real. He’s given me the power and peace I never had.”
[Note: “Q2” was in a Twelve-Step program. Few persons in any such program seem to be aware of what their founders had to say about the “Higher Power” and “God,” but what they said is relevant to all readers at this point … whether “Twelve-Steppers” or Advaitins. In the appendix of their book, an appendix entitled “Spiritual Experience,” they make clear that though earlier in the text the writer used gender-specific pronouns such as “He” or “Him” to refer to a male god with personal attributes, that is not what most of the founders took the Higher Power to be.
Q. 2 had the same gender-specific concept of the power. The appendix in their book reveals that those founders who had a “spiritual experience” no longer saw the Higher Power as a male entity but saw it as an “inner resource,” to use their words. (That resource is, of course, pure consciousness.) The appendix goes on to say that it is only their religious members who speak of “God-consciousness.” So according to their own literature, most of their founders had a spiritual experience and were conscious of the consciousness within—of the “inner resource” as they called it.
Only the religious members continued to speak of a male “God.” The point made in their appendix is exactly in line with the Advaita understanding, as is their point that, after having had a spiritual awakening, they tapped into their “sixth sense” and “intuition” and lived in a fashion that was “automatic”—not unlike the “spontaneous living” of the Advaita teaching. Now the dialogue will continue.]
F.: “You seem to read a wide range of books. You find in your books what you don’t know and then you believe you know it. The content of all those books you’re quoting amounts to learned ignorance. I hear you quoting what you’ve read, but I hear no evidence that you have found what you already know … within. You and I both know what’s in the books you’re quoting, but do you know what is beyond those texts? If not, whatever peace you claim to have received is tenuous, vulnerable to being shattered with a few words, as your voice seems to be confirming. Fix bayonets … cock and load.”
Q. 2: [Frowns, shouts] “I wasn’t angry until you started talking blasphemy!"
F.: “Make no connections where connections don’t exist. That’s just more duality. A common reasoning fallacy claims, ‘I am unhappy; I am in your presence; you are making me unhappy.’ See the truth: one, you are unhappy; two, it just so happens that you’re also in my presence.”
Q. 2: “You’re a real piece of work.”
F.: “Let’s stay with your conception. You’ve created a concept in your ‘mind,’ and now you depend on that concept. My teacher cautioned against anything that makes one dependent. You also probably concentrate on that concept, you likely pray to that concept, you perhaps even try to model yourself after that concept, but you admit it’s just your conception—an invention of your ‘mind.’ Other ideas you've believed about that god were ancient concepts fabricated in the minds of other men. In the last session, you obviously didn’t grasp that the personal mind produces powerlessness, not power. The variable mind doesn’t provide peace. It robs you of peace. If you want lasting peace, abandon your mind, your concepts, and your ego-states. Then, seek within to know the Real.”

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."
