Today's Considerations
AN OVERVIEW OF THE FIRST THREE OF THE FOUR LEG "JOURNEY"
LEG
ONE: The “coming in phase” where the consciousness
manifests and is soon blocked off from seeing reality and Reality
because of
programming, conditioning, domestication, acculturation, brainwashing,
and
indoctrination. Eventually, the consciousness identifies with the false
“I” and becomes limited to body-mind-personality identification. During
this leg, seven
steps are involved in the blocking of the consciousness and the
development of a “mind” that is filled with nonsense and learned
ignorance.
LEG TWO: The second phase –“the journey” to Realization – involves (as Maharaj explained) "going back, in reverse, to the source from which You came," eliminating (via taking the seven steps in reverse) the blocking of the consciousness and the development of a “mind” which was filled with nonsense and learned ignorance.
LEG THREE: This is the post-Realization "coming in" again leg, but this time it happens without the consciousness falling prey to any programming, conditioning, domestication, acculturation, brainwashing, and indoctrination. In this phase, there is an overlaying of Reality on reality, so to speak, and the remainder of the relative existence then happens spontaneously and naturally without any of the debilitating effects of the Ultimate Sickness, especially the symptoms that Maharaj identified as “ignorance, stupidity, and insanity.” Instead, wisdom and sanity prevail.

Note: It really IS about "coming in" again rather
than about “staying out there” and claiming to be THAT only (ignoring the I
AM part of the summative statement of non-duality: “I AM THAT, I AM”) and “staying
out there” in Foo Foo Land and wanting to claim a “higher-plane-status"
of Pure Reality and THAT-ness while actually being motivated by a “really-supreme-and-wonderful-personality-based”
desire to escape from, and dissociate from, “reality “ (a.k.a., the IS-ness).
ALL HUMANS ARE ON WHAT IS REFERRED TO HERE AS "THE JOURNEY"
No matter what, ALL will take Leg One.
A few will take Leg Two.
Some who take Leg Two will not take Leg Three because they become occupied with playing a “higher-plane-status"
game and / or the "I AM THAT only" game and / or the "I am Supreme" game and / or the escapism from "reality" (from the AM-ness) game and the dissociation from "reality" (from the AM-ness) game.
A few will understand all that is to be understood during Leg Two and those will then take Leg Three.
No matter what, ALL will take Leg Four.
Here's what the first three legs involve:
