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.: This four-book paperback anthology is now in stock and ready to ship:
In light of this multi-book anthology's release, excerpts from the four books in the paperback collection are being offered. The following is from the third book which is included in the anthology, FROM THE ABSOLUTE TO THE NOTHINGNESS. The reader is invited to take into contemplation and consideration the following pointers from that book:
The answer continued to the seeker who said: No identity at all? Everybody is SOMETHING, and whatever that SOMETHING is, is our identity.
Maharaj said, “This is all a big hoax, a big fraud, created out of nothingness.” Ultimately, even “nothing” as a concept is abandoned.
He said, “The sum total of my spirituality now is nothing, even the word ‘nothing’ is not there, so there is no spirituality left.” After reaching the point of zero concepts, how could there be such a thing as “spirituality”? It is just another concept, dreamed up by men. The Full Understanding lies far beyond the assumption of any spiritual or religious personas.
Maharaj also said, “The Absolute state cannot be explained by words.” Of course, that pointer cannot be offered to beginners. The functioning of the totality must be understood before “the totality” can be dismissed as just another concept.
Ultimately, it can be asked, “So what is with all this talk—what is with all these words—about the ‘anything’? About ‘something’? About ‘nothing’?” If one sees any part of this spontaneously-happening process as anything more than entertainment during the brief period of manifestation, then one has been fooled. Is this Advaita-heresy? Of course not. It is a pointer toward truth, but then, even “truth” is a concept, is it not?
Why cast aside all identities, concepts, ideas, emotions, attitudes, and beliefs? Because the consciousness, once a person has been conditioned, believes in the false. It becomes the supposed knower of concepts, the supposed thinker of ideas, the supposed emoter of emotions, the supposed believer of beliefs. All of that leads at least to unhappiness or to misery and to suffering in the extreme. Once even the consciousness is dismissed, what remains to sustain concepts? Nothing. In the absence of concepts, freedom can happen and peace can follow.
Every person, however, is trapped in the belief that his / her mind-flow and her / his thought-life is “the real.” What nonsense. All is imagined or seen incorrectly; all concepts were dreamed up by ignorant, controlling women (or, most often, men) and passed down—generally without any questioning of those concepts at all—from one generation to the next.
Because that has been the case for generation after generation after generation, the planet is now dominated by non-Realized persons who are living their lives under the influence of the most ignorant concepts imaginable—ideas dreamed up millennia ago by men who had no understanding of facts and science and reality but who were driven by their superstitions and their ignorance instead.
Such remains the current status of the masses. To be free of a life driven by the influence of learned ignorance, one must abandon the belief in any belief ... including the belief that everything must be labeled ... including the labeling of whatever you think you are.
Advaita (at the purest and most advanced level of the Teachings) endorses zero concepts. It invites programmed and conditioned persons to be free of all beliefs and all ideas, recommending not that “minds” should be full but that all “minds” should be emptied, step-by-step, until no “mind” exists at all.
To assume no identity during the manifestation of consciousness will produce the exact same results as abiding as the Absolute or as the Awareness that is unaware of awareness. A relative existence marked by weariness and heaviness is steeped in concepts. A relative existence marked by lightness is burdened with few concepts. One in which total freedom is happening is marked by a belief in no concepts.
A relative existence characterized by complete freedom and peace is marked by emptiness. Meaning? Meaning it is not marked at all. A sense of heaviness results when identities are assumed. A sense of lightness begins to happen when a minimum of identities are assumed. A sense of total freedom and a sense of peace (a sense of the unburdened emptiness) only happens when no identities are assumed.
Why are persons so opposed to these advanced teachings? Because they are driven by desires and fears. Because they have been programmed from early on to accept identities and to accumulate identities. Because they have been conditioned to “be somebody.” Because they want to “be somebody” … to really “be something.”
Yet all of that is based in the duality of “loss-gain.” There has never been any belief held by any person that did not have behind it a notion that some payoff would result from holding that belief. What nonsense when there is no WHO to gain and no WHO to lose … when there is nothing to gain and nothing to lose.
Nothing more is happening in this universe than a series of groupings and ungroupings, nothing more than being and not-being, nothing more than organizing and disorganizing and re-organizing and disorganizing again, nothing more than the supposed appearance of “something” from nothing.
To be free and at peace, understand Maharaj’s pointer that, when persons are freed of ancient beliefs that are currently being accepted as truth, then “life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.”
If you study your relative existence as it is currently unfolding, is it natural, or supernatural, or unnatural? Is it simple ... or complicated? Do you know the ecstasy of nothingness, or are you tolling for somethingness? Are you trapped in the illusions of the phenomenal, or have you reached the space?
Have you ever considered the possibility that “something” can manifest from nothing and can form groupings? Have you ever considered the possibility that “something” can ungroup and eventually be nothing again? Are you understanding how freeing it is—in the relative—to relate only to the nothingness rather than to identify with “something” … with “anything”?

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."
