A DAILY CONSIDERATION FOR YOU
The book "From the I to the Absolute (A Seven Step Journey to Reality)" contains the transcripts of the last satsang session that was recorded. This pointer from that book was shared in one of the earliest posts on this site in 2005:
"It has been found that one must either find a working philosophy or be doomed to adopt 'their' ideology instead, and my experience shows that nothing is more destructive than buying into 'their' ideology."
For the sake of accuracy, one could substitute the term "an understanding" for "a working philosophy," but the point remains: ideologies and their dogma and those who are driven by blind faith and ignorance and stupidity and insanity perpetuate duality.
Duality, in turn, perpetuates the desire to control and the desire for power.
And the desire to control and the desire for power, in turn, perpetuate chaos; hence, "a dual-minded person / couple / politician / religious or spiritual fanatic / population / nation / planet is unstable in all ways."

F.: A Middle Eastern man named Yeshu'a (known to many today as "Jesus") was programmed and conditioned within the organized religion that his parents exposed him to. As a result, he lived for a while as most among the masses do nowadays, perfectly qualified for membership in Parrots Anonymous ... spouting in a garbage-in / garbage-out fashion whatever they hear. In the case of Yeshu'a, what he heard came from the mouths and holy text of his religious leaders.
Yet eventually, he began to search for truth beyond the boundaries of organized religion. Two billion persons today who claim to have assumed the identity of "Christ Followers" do not follow him at all, for what he modeled was this:
If you were raised with exposure to organized religion, leave that and seek beyond its confines.
There is no historical record of what happened with him from the age of 8 to the age of 30; however, when the historical record picks up again and covers him around the ages of 31 to 33, he is sharing non-dual pointers.
[ For more on that - if interested - see the EBook below entitled "The Non-Duality Pointers of Yeshu'a ("Jesus the Christ") .]
The historical record offers certain specific comments that he supposedly said, non-verifiable and of questionable validity at times because the accredited statements are often contradictory, yet many of those comments are valid non-dual pointers nevertheless, including this:
"A dual-minded person is unstable in all ways."
That is an accurate enough pointer that could be expanded to include:
"Dual-minded persons in a 'relationship' will be unstable in all ways"
and
"Dual-minded owners of a business will be unstable in all ways"
and
"Dual-minded citizens of a nation will be unstable in all ways"
and
"Dual-minded 'leaders' of a nation will be unstable in all ways"
and
"Dual-minded, xenophobic 'Super Patriots' (with their actual agenda being rooted in their 'Super Religious' identities) will be unstable in all ways"
and
"Dual-minded citizens of a nation, or nations in conflict, will be unstable in all ways."
Abraham Lincoln, speaking of the U.S. in the mid-1800's, observed in a non-dual fashion that "a house divided against itself cannot stand," a non-dual message that adumbrated a pointer also offered by the Advaitin Yeshu'a many centuries earlier.
An even earlier example of a case where a national house was divided against itself has been offered here in the past while discussing what happened when a city-state known as Florence (Italy) had a formerly-united populace that became divided 50 / 50 along religious and social and political lines.
Those differing political and social and religious-based beliefs split Florence right down the middle after the monk Girolamo "The Bonfires of the Vanities" Savonarola entered the city of Florence. With a hidden agenda to overthrown the government and create a theocracy in its place, he attacked the ruling Medicis as "humanists" and "non-Christians" and chastised them for supporting science.
Like a current counterpart in the U.S., Savonarola was a demagogue of the highest order, able to incite half of the population with emotionally-intoxicating, evangelical-preacher-like-rhetoric while spreading ignorance and fanaticism. Eventually, he was able to foster enough discontentment that the city-state became split 50 / 50 by the divisiveness of their political and social and religious-based, dualistic concepts.
He inspired a puritanical fervor, declaring passionately that Florence would become "the world center of Christianity" and "more powerful, more glorious than ever" once Christians gained total control of the city-state. During the four years that he was the religious / political ruler of Florence, the city-state sank into utter chaos as he converted it from a self-governed, independent state into a theocracy.
Post-Savonarola's influence, fifty percent of the population longed to return to being a self-governing, independent state; fifty percent preferred his plan: to live in a theocracy - a religious state where God is considered the head of the government and where a human ruler is deemed to be God's spokesperson on earth. Rather than a written constitution serving as a guide, scriptures deemed to be "holy" are the written guide for a theocratic nation.
As in the days of Lincoln, the U.S. is again providing an example for the entire planet, illustrating by opposing forces - totally trapped in dual-mindedness - are playing out in a real time drama and in their Theater of the Lie exactly what it looks like when duality runs amuck with a present populace that is once again divided 50 / 50 along religious, social, political (and yes, racial) lines.
The 1860's version of a dual-minded "United" States is alive and active, the divisiveness never really having ended in many parts of the nation.
Today, what is happening in the States provides an example for all seekers of the non-dual understanding of what happens when dual-mindedness prevails. In the U.S., the trappings of duality in national politics is at play with demagoguery and hyperbole and histrionics and ignorance and stupidity and insanity (Maharaj) and duality-inspired destruction having becomes exceedingly popular among the fifty present or more who prefer those.
Like Girolamo Savonarola entering Florence with his hidden agenda to build a bonfire to destroy the government and then build a Christian nation from the ashes, there is in the U.S. a cabal of certain Savonarola-types who are disguising their similar, hidden agenda (namely, to "burn down what is" in order to "build from the ashes" a Christian nation that will abide by the rules set out in what is called "The Old Testament" even more than by the guidance that the Advaitin Yeshu'a might have offered in what is called "The New Testament.")
As was the case with Savonarola, the agendas of these persons are not as much political as they are religious, and that fervor has been shown on this site repeatedly to be the most prolific generator of dualistic concepts and beliefs in the history of the planet. Now, in a total duality-based manner, those who attack "the evil of Islamic theocracies over there" would establish a Christian theocracy here.
Their zeal to build a Biblical-based government is all-consuming, inspiring their full-blown monomania. While they call themselves "Patriots," they are allied with a movement of people who have assumed the identity of "Christian Reconstructionists" who - like Savonarola - want to "burn what is" so that what they want can be built "from the ground up." They would destroy and then reconstruct the nation in the manner they prefer.
As far as the non-dual understanding is concerned, Florence in the last 1500's, the U.S. in the mid 1800's, and the U.S. currently can provide examples of what happens when "dual-minded persons become unstable in all ways" and then seek power and control in order to assure that their dualistic beliefs are forced upon an entire population.
Of course, the histories of most nations provide similar examples: the U.K. when Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church and formed a state religion that to this day functions alongside the government; South Africa under apartheid; other African nations that have been torn by regional wars;
the present-day theocracies that are at war with all who do not belong to their particular religion and sect; and a history of other religious wars that are rooted in the opposing agendas of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and other religions that would have a "faith-based, God-fearing government" in order to guarantee that their nations have a "faith-based, God-fearing populace."
None of that could ever even be conceived except for the fact that dual-minded persons assume false roles that then drive their every thought and word and deed (rendering them unstable in all ways after having assumed the roles of "Super Political Leaders," "Super Proud Xenophobes," "Super Religious Knowers," "Super Patriots" and - most arrogantly and delusionally and divisively - "Those Who Believe That They Are Living in 'The Greatest Nation on Earth'.") All dualistic, arrogance-based, hierarchy-inspiring, separatist nonsense.
And that brings the discussion to the point offered here on a regular basis: when duality manifests and brings ego and egotism with it, the two main addictions of humanity are triggered and reinforced and activated as well:
1. the primary addiction of humanity is to a concept called "control";
2. the secondary addiction of humanity is to a concept called "power" (and "Power").
The secondary addiction is nothing more than a tool that the dual-minded masses would use in order to be able to fulfill their primary addiction to control. The rub?
The rub with that was well-expressed in the message posted on a huge red-and-white sign I read in 1983. It was posted on the side of a bridge where Damrak Street and the Damrak Canal end near the train station in Amsterdam. It read:
"Power" and "control" are concepts based in duality and are, therefore, non-existent. What does exist, however, are the relative effects of the actions of persons who are driven by their desire for power and control and by the agendas of their personalities and assumed ego-states, especially when those agendas are rooted in ideology.
Yet eventually, he began to search for truth beyond the boundaries of organized religion. Two billion persons today who claim to have assumed the identity of "Christ Followers" do not follow him at all, for what he modeled was this:

A DAILY CONSIDERATION FOR YOU
F.: [Continued from earlier] And to the list of "fundamental attribution errors that are made by the non-Realized masses" can be added a fundamental attribution error that is made by those who think that they are not among the non-Realized masses, namely,
"I attribute the fact that I am different from most (and, yes, if I were totally honest, that makes me a bit better than most) is the fact that I am pure. And my purity is the result of many things:
"For one, I am a vegan / I am a vegetarian" (which in many cases actually means, "I am a carb addict and I eat no meat but instead I eat foods such as pasta, potatoes, macaroni and cheese, etc., but no meat").
[The following has been shared on this site before when vegetarian-proud types write to demand that I encourage people to avoid meat and to eat vegetables only:
There are three body types among humans on the planet, divided roughly into 1/3 with sympathetic-dominant body types, 1/3 with a parasympathetic-dominate body types, and the other third with bodies that are called a balanced type.
The organs in the bodies of the thirty-three percent with a sympathetic-dominant body type can function quite well on a vegetables-only food plan. The organs of the third of all humans on the planet who have a parasympathetic-dominate body type function best with a food plan that includes high meat consumption. Only the one-third with body types that are called balanced types can function well with a food plan that includes a balance of both meat and vegetables.
The irony: in the U.S., the government recommends that "all should have a balanced diet daily, containing meat and vegetables," setting 2/3's of the population up for organ dysfunction if they heed that advice.]
A few months ago, a woman who considers herself to be super spiritual - having studied Eastern philosophies for years, having visited an ashram annually, having eaten vegetables only, and having abstained from sex for years - was rushed to the hospital with multiple organ failure. She told the physician, "I should not be here. I never eat meat, I don't have sex, I do my spiritual exercises every day. This makes no sense."
The reply: "It makes complete sense if you eat no meat but have a parasympathetic-dominate or balanced body type. Let's address the physical issues and then I'll arrange for you to meet with my nutrition specialist."
That meeting never happened, of course. The woman's spiritual persona has resulted in a complete over-riding of the natural tendency of the consciousness to extend itself by doing nothing that is self-destructive (an act that only happens among one specific life-form out of the billions that exist on this planet, namely, humans).
Yet her problems were not confined to improper-food-plan-induced organ dysfunction because, for years, she has also been plagued by GI problems, by a lack of energy, by a general malaise, and by depression (all a result of her spiritual persona that reinforces the misguided beliefs that she has about "foods that will allow her to be spiritual" vs. "foods that would rob her of her spiritual purity").
Moreover, the most basic understanding of what happens in the GI tract with any foods that are consumed would dispel any notions about one type of food assuring that the inside of the body is "as pure as the driven snow" while other foods make the body impure. Here, with no delusions about there being "purity" of any fashion, the food plan followed is one that is fine-tuned for a parasympathetic-dominate body type.
Yes, food with chemical additives are avoided. Yes, foods that are genetically-altered are avoided. And yes, that which is natural is sought out (even as there exists the full understanding that the entire food supply on the planet has been bastardized to one degree or another, depending on country and region).
As for the woman's abstinence, it does not make her pure. It merely makes her - by her own admission - "frustrated" and "dissatisfied" and "longing" and "unfulfilled" and "exasperated."
As for all of the years of rising two hours earlier than necessary to do "her spiritual readings" and "spiritual exercises" and "meditation" and "yoga," the fact is that by the time she works her way through traffic jams to reach her job site, she is again frustrated and angry and most unhappy.
Is there ever any effort here to try to persuade visitors to "eat this but don't eat that"? Is there ever any effort here to try to persuade visitors to "have more sex"? Is there ever any effort here to try to persuade visitors to "stop spending thousands of dollars annually going to ashrams and listening to talks in a language that you do not even understand"? No, no, and no.
Is there an invitation here to abandon things unnatural and to abandon things erroneously deemed to be "supernatural" and to abide in a nisarga (natural) fashion? Yes. So it is when the Direct Path Method is combined with the Nisarga Yoga.
Are there ever any emotions or feelings about those who do not accept the invitation? Never.
Eating veggies only? There's a 1/3 chance you're following the proper food plan for your body type. Going to ashrams annually? Rock and roll. Giving up two hours of sleep each day in order to reinforce a false spiritual persona? Rock and roll. Abstaining? Rock and roll (or don't rock and roll, as the case might be).
In spite of all the efforts of those who believe they are being bathed by the full light of the noonday sun though they are actually standing in the semi-darkness of dawn, they are not different-from, better-than, or purer-than "others who are less enlightened." In fact, there is no such thing as "pure vs. impure." That is just one more dualistic pair that is bought into by the non-Realized and by the not-Fully-Realized.
Moreover, the type of self-delusion among the not-Fully-Realized is no different from the self-delusion of the not-Realized-at-all because all delusion (and ignorance) is rooted in fundamental attribution errors.

A DAILY CONSIDERATION FOR YOU
F.: [Continued from yesterday] And other fundamental attribution errors that the non-dual understanding could address also exist:
"I can attribute the way I feel to what others think about me or say about me."
"The fact that we are angry because the teacher criticized our child has nothing to do with whatever you are calling "The Super Mom' and 'The Super Dad.' We know that the anger is based in the fact that the teacher was completely wrong about our child."
"You are wrong. Just because I said I quit four jobs in three months 'because I will not be disrespected' is not rooted at all in arrogance and egotism and conceit and has nothing to do with what you are calling 'The One Who Automatically Deserves Respect Though It Has Never Been Earned'."
"You are wrong. I am not absorbed with talking every week on what we call 'the speaker circuit' because I am always seeking a captive audience. I attribute my frequent speaking to the fact that I am just the kind of guy who loves to help people."
"You are wrong. I am not holding a political office in the national government because I am what some are calling 'A Narcissistic Power Freak.' I attribute the making of this sacrifice to the fact that I am a patriot who loves my country and who wants to reform it and make it better."
"I do not think I am better than others. I can attribute my effort - to trying to encourage everyone I can to join my religion - to the fact that I know that if they will just believe what I believe, it will make their lives better."
"I am not leaving my spouse because I think I am better or because I believe that I am always right or because I am playing the role of what you are calling 'The Super Spouse.' I am leaving because I simply deserve so much better."
"The fact that I prayed to God every day for a year that He would kill my husband does not make me 'The Sociopath.' I just attribute that action to the fact that my husband infuriated me all of the time."
"We attribute the belief that America deserves continuous blessings from God because of the fact that this nation was founded as 'A Shining City On A Hill' to serve as a beacon that all of the other people of the world can follow in order to also be great."
"I am not cold and seriously flawed. I attribute the fact that I don't hug my children or tell them that I love them to this: it's just not the way people in our culture act."

"You are wrong. I am not holding a political office in the national government because I am what some are calling 'A Narcissistic Power Freak.' I attribute the making of this sacrifice to the fact that I am a patriot who loves my country and who wants to reform it and make it better."
"I do not think I am better than others. I can attribute my effort - to trying to encourage everyone I can to join my religion - to the fact that I know that if they will just believe what I believe, it will make their lives better."
"I am not leaving my spouse because I think I am better or because I believe that I am always right or because I am playing the role of what you are calling 'The Super Spouse.' I am leaving because I simply deserve so much better."
"The fact that I prayed to God every day for a year that He would kill my husband does not make me 'The Sociopath.' I just attribute that action to the fact that my husband infuriated me all of the time."
"We attribute the belief that America deserves continuous blessings from God because of the fact that this nation was founded as 'A Shining City On A Hill' to serve as a beacon that all of the other people of the world can follow in order to also be great."
"I am not cold and seriously flawed. I attribute the fact that I don't hug my children or tell them that I love them to this: it's just not the way people in our culture act."

A DAILY CONSIDERATION FOR YOU
F.: Since 1989, the non-dual understanding has been shared here with thousands. From the time Maharaj Realized until he took mahasamadhi, he shared the message with hundreds of thousands of seekers.
Most persons, however, will never seek, convinced not that they found the answers after an objective and arduous search but they that were given all of the answers upfront via the organized religion that they parents chose for them or via the spiritual training that their parents arranged for them.
Thus, most persons will never question, never challenge, and never ask the objective questions about the beliefs that they did not choose but that they now think are their own and now think are defining "who they are."
As a result of never seeking but believing that they already know it all instead, they remain trapped in mind-driven (but senseless and continuous) going and doing and zooming. They will likely never be open to the non-dual understanding for they do not know that the previously pure, unblocked consciousness has been blocked, adulterated, contaminated, conditioned, qualified, and made ambiguous.
Moreover, they do not know that blocked, adulterated, contaminated, conditioned, qualified, and ambiguous consciousness leaves them in a state of "dual-minded-ness" and, therefore, "unstable in all ways." Not only have they become accustomed to chaos, in many cases they have become addicted to chaos because of their otherwise boring and tiresome and monotonous existence.
Yet what was being sought by the thousands whose paths chanced to bring them here, and what were the hundreds of thousands who went to Maharaj's loft seeking there? As explained in the videos on "The Rationale" to the right of this post, earnest seekers - usually without being conscious of the fact - are seeking ...
... a "return," a return to that previously unadulterated, previously uncontaminated, previously pure, previously unconditional, previously unconditioned, previously unqualified, previously unambiguous, previously clean and previously clear tabula rasa state that existed prior to manifestation as well as during the early years of the manifestation before concepts and ideas and notions (a.k.a., "beliefs") were introduced.
Sensing that "something is missing" - that their present mode of thinking and feeling and behaving has not led to a sense of wholeness and fullness and completeness - earnest seekers are actually (subconsciously) seeking the elusive awareness of Awareness.
They are seeking an understanding of the Original Nature that was free of anything adulterated, contaminated, impure, conditional, conditioned, qualified, and ambiguous. They are seeking to return to the child No-Knowing State which was a tabula rasa state that existed prior to nonsense having been written upon the previously blank tablet. That state was a mindless, no-concept, non-dual state, the result of which was a no-dis-ease state.
But in most humans is a subconscious intimation of that which was and is and shall be, namely, the Original Nature, marked by no-knowing, by no-self-ness, by no-"one"-ness but by a sense of Oneness instead.
Non-duality is not about learning more. It is about taking out the garbage that is blocking an awareness of that original state of awareness with no aware-of-ness and an understanding of the eternal energy that was never created and that has always been.
To understand and abide as that Original Nature is to move through the relative existence with a sense of full-ness ... of complete-ness ... of peace ... of harmony. To fail to understand that is to move through the relative existence with a sense of emptiness and brokenness and chaos and disharmony.
Yet that is not the whole "story." For that, see the Ebook below entitled "WHY YOU MUST BE EMPTY IF YOU WOULD BE FULL."

A DAILY CONSIDERATION FOR YOU
F.: This is offered in the introduction to the free eBook entitled "GOOD vs. EVIL?" or "IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY, and INSANITY?" (See below for your free copy):
There are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them abide unnaturally except for humans.
There are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them abide supernaturally / spiritually except for humans.
There are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them have to seek peace except for humans.
There are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them have what is called "a mind" except for humans.
There are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them misunderstand and misperceive except for humans.
There are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them work at being something different from what they are except for humans.
There are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them have beliefs - beliefs based in myths and superstitions and ignorance - except for humans.
Thus, there are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them believe in dualities and use them to judge and separate and reinforce arrogance and narcissism except for humans. Consider one of the most uncomplicated of all life-forms.
And now this can be added to that list:
There are billions of life-forms on the planet, but none of them except for humans make fundamental attribution errors.
Only the Fully Realized understand how commonplace it is among the masses to identify blame and to assign cause in ways that are always erroneous, most persons spending the entire manifestation in a manner that is marked most often by total cluelessness.
Yet even that cluelessness is not pointed to with any sense of blame, merely with a full understanding of its cause.

A DAILY CONSIDERATION FOR YOU
F.: Author Lee Child touches on another way that a fundamental attribution error can lead to something that the non-dual understanding can eliminate, namely, misery and suffering.
Acculturation and domestication, which result in the belief that certain external things and / or certain situations can make one happy and can end misery and suffering, is rooted in a fundamental attribution error.
For example, one of Child's characters is asked by an acquaintance (who is inquiring into his preference for a nomadic lifestyle):
"Why do you live like this?"
He: "Because my brain is wired backward. That what they [the ones who tried to understand even during his early years why he was "different" from the masses] missed all those years ago. They looked at the wrong part of me. I don't like what 'normal' people like. A little house with a chimney and a lawn and a picket fence? People love that stuff. They work all their lives, just to pay for it. They take thirty-year mortgages. And good for them. But I'd rather hang myself."
He continued: "... Ninety-nine of us grow up to love the campfire, and one grows up to hate it. Ninety-nine of us grow up to fear the howling wolf, and one grows up to envy it. And I'm that guy."
And as one looks at the nine basic personality types, one is able to see that 50% are Type Sixes who suffer anxiety; and one can see that a huge percentage are Type Threes who prefer form over substance and who foster a phony image; and one can also see that Type Fours seek the Authentic Self and reject the false images that are valued throughout their cultures. Yet Type Fours only make up 1/2 of 1% of the planet's population.
Seeing that, it can be understood why ...
... ninety-nine out of one hundred people grow up to love the phony dream while only one out of one hundred (or fewer) grow up to hate it. It can be seen that ninety-nine out of one hundred march to the beat of the same insane drummer while one grows up to prefer the march when it happens to the beat of a different drummer. And the Type Four is "that guy / gal."
But for those who cross the path of a Type Four that has finally Realized Fully, they too can be led along the "path" that can allow the masses to be free of their anxieties; that can allow the masses to discard their penchant for form over substance; and that can allow the masses to be free of entrapment in a bogus dream that they are taking to be real. Realization allows seekers to be free of the habit among the masses of making fundamental attribution errors.
So consider "The American Dream": first, there is no "American" but there is such a thing as "dreaming"; there is also such a thing as "dreaming while one is awake" and "dreaming while thinking that a dream is real."
There is a young woman who is presently quite miserable because she has been driven to believe that she can only be happy when several ego-states are in place. One is "The Happy Wife Who Is Married to a Wonderful Husband." Another is "The Wonderful Mother Who Is Able to Stay At Home and Raise A Child."
Because those have not happened, (that is, because of what she desires to have and what she fears she may never have), she is miserable. She has committed a fundamental attribution error, erroneously believing that: "My happiness someday will be attributed to the fact that I am a really happy wife and a really good mother with a really good child."

A DAILY CONSIDERATION FOR YOU
F.: The connections between fundamental attribution errors and the non-dual message include the following:
1. Persons (the non-Realized who are being driven by the hidden agendas of the multiple personalities / personas that they have assumed to be real) attribute the cause of their thoughts and words and actions to their own "free will" or "choices" rather than to the subconscious fears and / or desires of each persona they adopt.
2. Everything that is thought and said and done by non-Realized persons is rooted in duality, and at the heart of their dualistic beliefs is a belief (a) in self vs. others; (b) in inner vs. outer influences; and, therefore, (c) in the validity of their attributing the cause of the way they feel inside to external causes that involve the thoughts and words and actions and beliefs of "others."
Delusion results, and then misery and suffering follow delusion.
As a result of delusional thinking based in all-bogus beliefs, a fundamental-attribution-error generates claims such as "You are making me miserable. I can't believe I ever agreed to marry you / to live with you."
Or a fundamental-attribution-error generated a claim heard here that "You are not a Christian and I cannot be happy if I am not in a relationship with a good Christian." [And you can insert in place of "Christian" the label of "Jew," "Muslim," "Spiritual Person," "Conservative," "Seeker," "Hard-Working Provider," "One Who Believes in the Same Principles I Believe In," etc.]
Or, a fundamental-attribution-error generates the belief that "I feel like I'm dying because my Wife left me" rather than seeing clearly that it is simply the false ego-state of "The Husband" / "The Super Husband" that is coming to an end (that it, that is "dying away") because the one who was previously willing to play the co-dependent counterpart role that was required for the assumption of the false identity of "The Husband" to have been assigned and accepted by one's culture in the first place is no longer willing to keep playing the false role. [Or one can insert in place of that identity the identity of "The Former Employee," "The Formerly Rich Person," "The Former Homeowner," "The Formerly Powerful Executive," ad infinitum.]
Duality-based, fundamental, attribution errors are at the heart of the way that the non-Realized think and believe and behave and talk and feel, so they are also at the heart of the misery and suffering that come when "dual-minded persons are unstable in all ways."

Therefore, another movement or shift is happening here spontaneously after reflecting on the more than two decades since the teachings were first offered here and looking at the results of Maharaj sharing pointers in his loft and looking at the results of "Floyd" sharing pointers in this electronic loft: Looking objectively at his results, Maharaj's satsang method of sharing - in the end and by his own admission (only "one out of 10,000,000") - did not produce the intended outcome.

SHIFTING THE FOCUS FROM THAT WHICH DOES NOT WORK TO THAT WHICH DOES, Part One
A "movement" or "shift" happened here that added another parallel to the many parallels in terms of the phenomenal "experiences" and the noumenal revelations that "Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj" and "Floyd" share in common. (Many visitors over the years have said that they also shared the same parallels with "Maharaj" and "Floyd" as well.)
In the case of "Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj" and "Floyd":
1. both grew up in very poor families 2. both moved to populated areas to seek employment opportunities 3. both exhibited business skills that led to their opening and operating many businesses and to their having a large number of employees working for them 4. both succeeded financially 5. both became attached to accumulating; 6. both married and had a family 7. both were initially religious 8. both moved away from organized religion and became interested in "spiritual" matters, finding and following the teachings of a big name teacher (or, in "Floyd's" case, many big name teachers) 9. both had highly religious wives who were quite displeased with the shift away from religion and toward "spirituality" 10. both began to feel empty in spite of all of their "spiritual seeking" and in spite of all of their accumulated "spiritual knowledge";

11. both began to de-accumulate after both saw that they could survive quite well on a fraction of the income they had been making
12. both had wives who were unhappy when the de-accumulation stage was entered and both had wives who became unhappy about their husbands' focus on non-duality and who blamed their unhappiness on no longer having a religious husband
(The facts be known, in both cases the unhappiness involved the fact that their husbands were no longer interested in - or willing - to work 80+ hours per week and that their husbands were no longer interested in accumulating wealth and possessions and providing the rich lifestyle to which their wives had grown accustomed)
13. both eventually came to see that the religious and spiritual states were also ego-states, and both saw that there are far more steps on the "path" to complete after reaching the religious and spiritual steps and after playing those roles which are the third of seven steps on the entire "path" 14. both "lost" their wives (one via "death," the other through divorce); 15. both accelerated their seeking; 16. both entered into the "forest dweller stage" 17. both Realized 18. both began to de-accumulate even more
19. both began sharing the teachings 20. for years, both answered questions in whatever order those questions were received, though both said that the movement from identification with the false "I" / "I's" involved an exact, step-wise manner of moving along a "path" that involved "going back" in the same (but reverse order) of the way they "came in" - that is, the way that the manifestation happened and the way that the consciousness was blocked through seven stages that resulted in their becoming identified solely with their false personas, with the content of the "mind," and eventually, with the body. But the most significant awareness that finally came to both after years of offering satsang and after having answered thousands and thousands of questions was this: After years of "Maharaj" offering satsang in his loft, and after years of "Floyd" offering satsang in meeting halls and in his home and via what one site visitor called "Floyd's electronic loft," this fact became obvious to both: "Maharaj" came to see in the 1970's and into 1980 and 1981 that his approach was not working and "Floyd" finally came to see the same.

But the most significant awareness that finally came to both after years of offering satsang and after having answered thousands and thousands of questions was this: After years of "Maharaj" offering satsang in his loft, and after years of "Floyd" offering satsang in meeting halls and in his home and via what one site visitor called "Floyd's electronic loft," this fact became obvious to both: "Maharaj" came to see in the 1970's and into 1980 and 1981 that his approach was not working and "Floyd" finally came to see the same.
21. Both saw that many who heard the teachings are not going to understand (Maharaj reporting that "only 1 in 100,000 are going to 'get' this" understanding)
22. both soon saw that even more than expected of those who heard the teachings were not going to understand (Maharaj modifying his "guesstimate" and reporting that "only 1 in 1,000,000 are going to 'get' this" understanding)
23. eventually both saw that even far more than expected of those who heard the teachings were not going to understand (Maharaj eventually concluding that "only 1 in 10,000,000 are going to 'get' this" understanding). And the failings were not the fault of seekers.
A "one -in-ten-million" estimate is proof that satsang was not working for most seekers, and the evidence here lately is proof of the same.
Both "Maharaj" and "Floyd" invited seekers to focus on the exact, step-wise "path." Yes, during satsang, "Maharaj" sometimes alluded to the steps while discussing them in no particular order - but he never once laid out the steps in the exact order in which they had to be completed. That was not his teachings style or approach.
Therefore, another movement or shift is happening here spontaneously after reflecting on the more than two decades since the teachings were first offered here and looking at the results of Maharaj sharing pointers in his loft and looking at the results of "Floyd" sharing pointers in this electronic loft: Looking objectively at his results, Maharaj's satsang method of sharing - in the end and by his own admission (only "one out of 10,000,000") - did not produce the intended outcome.
Looking objectively at the results here when using an "electronic loft" satsang method of sharing has not produced the intended outcome nearly as often as any of the three "face-to-face" methods used with seekers by which they have been led through the seven steps in order.
Here, the body is growing older, of course. Mahasamadhi could be taken today, or it could be taken in twenty years.
Obviously, that cannot be known. But the decision here has been made that whatever amount of the relative existence remains shall be spent in sharing the teachings in the ways that have been seen over the last 20+ years to be the most effective methods.
Looking back over the list of those that have truly received the understanding, it is seen that Robert R. read all of the books, then took the online Advaita course and then completed some face-to-face Skype sessions to receive the final clarifications required. It was seen that Mac read all of the books, completed the online course, and then attended a retreat where he was guided through the seven steps. Mac said that the online course work inspired him to attend the retreat in order to be able to receive the final "pieces." It was seen that Andy Gugar, Jr. read all of the books, then came here for a retreat and was taken through the seven steps in order, and then returned once more for the final clarifications required. After reviewing the shifts that happened with him after attending two retreats, he reaffirmed this past week his commitment to helping spread the non-duality, nisarga understanding as presented here. As a result of seeing what has "worked" during the last 20+ years of sharing the non-duality understanding - and seeing what had not "worked" as well - changes will be made.
SHIFTING THE FOCUS FROM THAT WHICH DOES NOT WORK TO THAT WHICH DOES, Part Two

SHIFTING THE FOCUS FROM THAT WHICH DOES NOT WORK TO THAT WHICH DOES, Part Two
In "Part One," examples were given of seekers that were led to Realization not by satsang but by following the various protocols outlined farther down this page which provide the understanding in the step-wise, orderly, required fashion which moves seekers along a "path" that is as prescribed by Maharaj ... "going back" in the "reverse order" by which the consciousness manifested and became blocked.
However, conversations with some that just read the majority of the books have revealed that they certainly seem to have grasped the understanding and Realized as well.
As a result of seeing what has "worked" during the last 20+ years of sharing the non-duality understanding - and seeing what has "not worked" as well - changes are being made.
There are seven specific steps that happen when awareness-energy is "pulled" into a cycle of manifestation. When that energy manifests as conscious-energy, that formerly pure and unadulterated energy becomes "corrupted" (or "blocked" from seeing clearly) via programming, conditioning, domestication, acculturation, and brainwashing. Soon, there is a belief in the not-Real as a result of seven degrees of separation from an understanding of the Real.
Using the method that was also employed by his contemporaries - a method which focused on offering non-duality pointers via satsang - Maharaj addressed questions in the order in which they were received. He might receive a question from a seeker at the third step and his reply would include what amounted to an invitation to move to the fourth step. The next question might come from a seeker at the first step, and the reply would include an invitation to move to the second step.
The information offered to the second seeker would seemingly contradict what was offered to the first seeker, so visitors who have come here for decades have asked questions which showed how confused they were by the fact that Maharaj's statements to each visitor in his loft were "level-appropriate" yet were provided in no precise order, resulting in what seemed to be an inconsistent message.
So the process overall was confusing in that
seekers were told to follow the "path back" in the same way that they "came in," except in reverse order,
but
pointers were not given in a specific, step-wise order at all.
Maharaj did recognize the seven steps that are taught here, but by offering the teachings in an order that was dictated by the order in which questions were received from seekers who were at different steps on the "path," the result was this:
a pointer about moving beyond the fourth step might be followed by a pointer about moving beyond the first step, and that pointer might be followed by a pointer about how to move beyond the sixth step.
The same was done on this site for seven years. The result is a collection of 1,800 or so essays discussing almost every non-duality topic that can be discussed, and the search button on the top right side of this page will now allow seekers with a question about a specific topic to find an explanation. That method, however, will never provide the manner in which the seven steps on the "path" must be transmitted and received in order to Realize Fully.
An objective study of the history here of more than twenty years of offering non-duality pointers reveals this: seekers that were given pointers in the exact order in which they needed to receive them were the ones that Realized.
They read the books, then they completed the online course and / or completed seven Skype or telephone sessions or came here for a retreat (or watched the downloadable DVD version of an actual retreat, available below).
Some found that which they were seeking by reading the author's book that deal with non-duality subject matter. Via all of those venues, the steps are taught in their proper order.
The essays available on this site will remain for those interested in searching for a discussion of a particular non-duality topic without charge, but the focus here until mahasamadhi is taken is going to be on offering the teachings in the step-wise fashion that has been seen to work.

This anthology of four books by Floyd Henderson contains the volumes that make up what has been called "The Advanced Seekers' Series" for those seeking Realization via the Advaita teachings
This anthology contains the six books that make up what has been called "The Blissful Abidance Series" for those seeking to live blissfully and happily for the remainder of the manifestation, including these books
This book can be read as a "Stand-Alone eBook" or as a "Companion Piece" or "Follow-Up" to be read after "When Only Three Hours of Manifestation Remain."
After having guided over 8,000 people through the Twelve Steps, the focus eventually turned toward working with the few who have been seeking recovery for some time but sense that "there must be something more" or who have said, "I am still not where I want to be." A few - even with double-digit "sobriety" - have said, "I don't want to drink ... I want to die."

[Please note: When the Direct Path Teaching Method is offered in conjunction with the Nisarga Yoga, something unique results when compared to what happens via the approach used by religions, spiritual movements, philosophies, ideologies, etc.:
rather than inviting seekers to learn more, the invitation here is to unlearn all; rather than offerings teachings, what is offered are unteachings; rather than offering to provide seekers more of anything, seekers will find that the process will take away everything. And via that process, the bliss of Your Original Nature will manifest and remain until mahasamadhi is taken.
To that end, the content of this book will seem radical to the seekers of more, but for those truly ready to be totally free and totally independent - and for those who are truly ready to abandon efforts to accumulate and to de-accumulate instead - the pointers in this book might be relevant.]
