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.: Within days, this four-book paperback anthology,
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 CONSCIOUSNESS / AWARENESS: The Nature of Reality Beyond Self-Realization (Peace Every Day When Abiding as The Absolute) which is included in the anthology. The reader is invited to take into contemplation and consideration the following pointers from that book:
Another seeker said, There’s all these contradictions. The part I don’t get is “there’s only consciousness” but at the same time “in the Absolute state there is no one to be consciousness of anything.” Then Maharaj talked about “even in the sleep state the consciousness still is conscious” but at the same time “even in the Absolute state there is consciousness or awareness but no one to be aware of it.” Then, “neither matter nor energy can be created nor destroyed” but “this is finite while that is infinite.”
The reply was: there are no contradictions in the teachings but there are paradoxes and there are seeming contradictions because Realization happens by passing through specific stages. No teacher will offer a seeker at Step Two of “The Seven Steps to Realization” the same pointers that will be offered to a seeker at Step Six. That said, much confusion does exist regarding “awareness as opposed to consciousness,” regarding the nature of conscious-energy, regarding what “the Absolute” is, and regarding what “The Absolute” is not, so some additional clarifications will be offered to try to eliminate the confusion.
First, everything in this universe (and in all universes) is energy / matter. Consider energy and matter to be one reality, to be one in essence with two aspects. Look at a steel beam under an electron microscope and you’ll see that the beam, considered by many to be only “matter,” is a swirling mass of energy. At the core of atoms are subatomic particles, and one of those (the electron) is really a small particle of light. [The Advaitin Teacher of old called "Jesus" did not say, “I am the light.” That speck of consciousness said, “I AM Light.”]
Second, recall from any basic science course that neither energy nor matter can be created nor destroyed. There was no creation. There is nothing being created now. There will never be anything created. Furthermore, there is no destruction and there will be no destruction. Energy / matter merely cycles.
Third, to the confusion you reference in regards to the statement “in the Absolute state there is consciousness or awareness.” Understand that the Absolute is the Awareness that Consciousness is “in,” meaning that Awareness exists and “makes it possible” for Consciousness to happen whenever there is an object … that is, whenever consciousness manifests and whenever there is something to be “conscious of.” One attribute of conscious-energy is just that: an ability to be conscious of something, and therein lies the basic flaw of consciousness: duality.
By definition, consciousness at its most basic level must deal with duality since an object has to be present in order for consciousness to be conscious of. During the manifestation, it is at the second witnessing stage of Pure Witnessing that such can be transitioned as the Oneness, as the non-dual reality, is understood. That only happens after the consciousness has undergone re-purification (or, more accurately, after it has been unblocked). So there are three pointers about consciousness, subjects-objects, and the eternal Subject that might help clarify what is often misunderstood:
[1] Manifested, consciousness can become aware of itself and that which it takes to be objects. [2] Unmanifested, consciousness can be conscious of particles of energy but not conscious of itself. For example, the electron can be conscious of the nucleus around which it is swirling even as the electron is not conscious of itself; or, the consciousness that was manifested and called “you” will remain as energy which can be conscious of surrounding energy or particles but cannot be conscious of itself after no longer being manifested. [3] Manifested and Realized, the unblocked consciousness can be conscious of the Oneness (of the unicity ... of the eternal Subject) while no longer taking the illusion of “observed” objects to be real. NOTE: It is not that the tree is not “real,” relatively speaking. It is that the tree is not that which the non-Realized take it to be.
Next, take Awareness to be the original “state,” prior to the manifestation of Consciousness and its post-programming, Subject-Object class of witnessing. See that Awareness is primary and that Consciousness is secondary. See that Awareness is antecedent and that Consciousness is subsequent to Awareness. To abide as the Absolute is to abide as Awareness, freed throughout the remainder of the manifestation from the machinations of the consciousness which was bastardized by programming and conditioning and domestication and acculturation. (Thus, it has been noted: “Ultimately, even identification with the Pure Consciousness fades as the Realized transcend and abide as the Absolute.”)
Abiding as the Absolute—as the Awareness—You are aware of the functioning of the totality. You are not conscious of objects any longer, having understood that no “object” (which can supposedly be perceived) is actually as it appears to be. It becomes clear that nothing which can supposedly be seen by the eye is actually THAT; therefore, all Subject-Object Witnessing is transitioned and Pure Witnessing happens via the Pure Self (the Pure Witness, the True Self) for the remainder of the manifestation. More exactly, that is the only witness that remains … that Self-Awareness, which you can also take to be “unicity-awareness”. (Yet there is that which is even beyond Self-Awareness that must be understood before Full Realization can happen.)
At that point of Self-Awareness, the Realized have been “re-membered,” so to speak. You could, at that point, know THAT which You were prior to consciousness and prior to the corruption of the manifested consciousness. There never was anything other than the unicity, and upon Realization the unicity is understood and all assumptions of duality cease.
But keep it simple now as you revisit one set of the teachings that were a quandary for you: “It’s all consciousness … there’s only consciousness” but at the same time “in the Absolute state there is no one to be conscious of anything.” Now you should be able to see from the example of the atoms that they are conscious of the presence of each other; that they move in relationship to each other; and that their movements influence the behavior of each other.
However, even as atoms were conscious of the presence of other atoms, there was no “one”—no “being” with a nervous system—that could allow the consciousness to be conscious of the fact that it is; nevertheless, the consciousness still IS, though it is not conscious of the fact that it IS. The same is the case with “you” prior to manifestation, and the same shall be the case with “you” post-manifestation.
It has been shown how consciousness IS even though there is no witness of that consciousness when unmanifest. Therefore, the consciousness was and is definitely “there,” the atoms were and are conscious of the presence of each other, and they all acted and reacted and continue to act in a certain way as a result. Even in a pre-manifestation state, consciousness was functioning, even without any consciousness of consciousness. (So much for the concept of "sacred contracts.") The same happens each night as you sleep.
Even as you are not conscious while in deep sleep, consciousness continues to function and guides the brain and heart and other organs through their functions, automatically and spontaneously. You need not try to stay awake and be aware of your heart and lungs in order for them to work. Consciousness does that. Yet awake or asleep, you need not be conscious of the consciousness that is guiding the lungs to inhale and exhale and that is guiding the heart to contract and pump. That parallels abidance as the Absolute: as this manifested conscious-energy called “floyd” functions as consciousness that is conscious of, there is no “one”—no person—who is there and witnessing it. It’s all just happening, spontaneously, by itself. Post Full Realization, all abidance happens as the Absolute Awareness.
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."
