TODAY’S CONSIDERATIONS

To review: 

It has been seen that the source of all relative problems involve fanaticism (which is linked to the agendas of personality identifications); higher-than-ever levels of the Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (which is linked to chemical imbalances in the elemental plant food body as well as to personality); and humanity’s tendency to take what could be simple and make it complex and complicated. 

Selecting the topics to discuss which can help address humanity’s relative problems, the first dealt with the requirement for abiding in a Nisarga (natural) fashion: 

“It’s All Very Simple So Keep It That Way.” Next, 

“Seek What You Are If You Like, But It Would Be Enough To Simply Find What You Are Not.” 

“Question Everything and Everyone.” 

“The Relative Existence Will Never Be Stable, But You Can Be.” 

“If Seeking Authenticity, Listen To the Beat of Your Inner Guru and Allow That to Be the Drum That Provides the Beat to Which You March” and

“There Are Hundreds of Sources of Pain, But Only One Source of Misery and Suffering” 

The next topic offered for consideration is excerpted from the book WHEN ONLY THREE HOURS OF MANIFESTATION REMAIN (The "Final" Talks of Floyd Henderson):  

If You Would Come To Understand How To Abide Naturally, Find A Guide And Then A Model That Are Abiding Naturally, Part A 

To emphasize: 

1. Find the simplest version of these teachings. 

2. Abide naturally. 

3. Seek no identity, including "good" ones. 

4. Rest in the awareness of the nothingness. 

5. All things relative and Absolute are much ado about nothing. 

6. Settle not for instability. 

7. Question. 

8. Be free of the effects of your programming, conditioning, domestication and acculturation. 

9. March to the beat of your inner guru. 

10. Transition both religious and spiritual concepts and identities. 

11. Understand that there are hundreds of sources of pain, that there is only one source of misery and suffering, and that you must return to the mind-less "Child No-Knowing Stage" if you would be free and happy. Next: 

12. If you would come to understand how to abide naturally, find a guide and then a model that are abiding naturally. 

 Here, Maharaj was a guide for part of the "journey"; once (a) the understanding of the functioning of the totality came during a vision and (b) that "big picture" awareness helped to clarify the later teachings of Maharaj, then Realization happened. 

[A description of the vision is available above without charge.] 

After Realization, this followed: as a result of having a local deer population for neighbors in an area that is shared with them, those deer have provided the model by which the daily existence has unfolded. 

The deer’s lifestyle provides an example of natural living (as opposed to supernatural living or unnatural living): the deer functions spontaneously and unthinkingly under the auspices of the “laws” of nature. It does nothing that is unnatural or self-destructive, and it has no supernatural beliefs. It has no dogma, no practices, no rules, no beliefs, and no concepts. That plant-food-body-cum-consciousness (thought to be "a deer" by humans only) functions with a brain but no "mind." 

The deer burns no scented sticks and rings no noisy bells and sings no noisy songs and chants no noisy chants in unison with other deer. It does not knell and it has no "special way to sit" during "special times," such differentiation being the province of the not Fully-Realized. It experiences no emotional intoxication. Yes, it bonds with other deer, but it experiences neither dependency nor co-dependency. It knows that it IS, but it does not believe that it is “something” or even that it is “anything.” 

The sense of Am-ness manifests with the deer, but the sense of “I am this” or “I am that” does not. (Note that even though the speck of consciousness called “a deer” knows it is, it does not "know" either the “I” or the “i.” Though the beingness is sensed, no thought of a "personal I" occurs. ) 

To be continued. 

Please enter into the silence of contemplation.

Five Free eBooks

Compliments of Andy Gugar, Jr.,
the following eBooks are available without charge for you or for friends:

I.
"GOOD vs. EVIL?" or "IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY, and INSANITY?"

The content of this eBook deals with one of the most common but erroneous beliefs that the non-Realized masses cling to and which they will fight about (and even kill over), namely, that there is a planet-wide duel going on between “the forces of good and evil” in the universe.

Either (1) the ancient view is spot on: that the "ills of the planet" are rooted in evil people, in people not being religious enough or spiritual enough, and are caused solely by bad morality; or, (2) the "ills of the planet" are rooted in ignorance, stupidity and insanity and "being good" or "being moral" does not put an end to ignorance, does not eliminate stupidity, and does not treat insanity in any way.

II.
"THE VISION"

Comments regarding the free eBook entitled “THE VISION”:

“My thanks to you and Andy.” – Andrew “Mac” McMaster

“Thanks so much for the book! And, by the way, it is brilliant and the most effective pointing that you have done. It has served to help clear the remaining blockages.” – Stan Cross

“Greatly appreciate having “THE VISION” added to my Henderson resource library that is situated on the right side of my bed for easy access! Eternally grateful for what was received and what was given.” – Robert Rigby

“‘THE VISION’ is such a well-written, condensed version of the Nisarga Yoga approach to understanding and enjoying Reality that I feel it can serve as a must-read ‘meditation guide’ for all earnest seekers.” – Andy Gugar, Jr.

III.
"Sapolsky, Maharaj, and the Non-Dual Teachings"

Dr. Robert Maurice Sapolsky is an American neuroendocrinologist; a professor of biology, neuroscience, and neurosurgery at Stanford University; a researcher; an author; and a Research Associate at the National Museums of Kenya.

There is much that a non-dualist or Advaitin or Nisargan can relate to by comparing and contrasting what Sapolsky reveals about the way certain troops of baboons live in Africa with the way that humans abide all around the globe.

This 152-page eBook catalogues the common, non-dual message shared by Sapolsky and Maharaj and reveals the ways that Sapolsky’s scientific research supports the non-dual pointers offered by Maharaj.

IV.
Seeking

In “PART ONE” it will be seen that most persons on the planet are not seeking, and most will never seek, but for those who are seeking, most will face several obstacles:

In “PART TWO” of this book, it will be seen why many criticized Maharaj for “changing his message in his later talks.” It will be seen that the changes were not about changing the message per se as much as about changing his methodology as he experimented with one version of the Ultimate Medicine after another in order to try to find an effective means for addressing the Ultimate Sickness.

He tried a religious version of the Medicine, a Spiritual version of the Medicine, and finally settled on a version which addressed to Sickness at its core . . . at the mental and emotional level.

V.
"THE MOST DANGEROUS BELIEF OF ALL"

“Dangerous” is a term that can only apply during the relative existence, but of those who do commit suicide, for example, how many shoot themselves in the foot over and over until they “bleed out”? None. They shoot themselves in the head. Why? In order to try to stop the noise - to try to stop the chatter of a thousand monkeys – to stop the noisy mind which is the area that stores the ideas, notions, concepts, mind-stuff, etc. which drives them into the depths of insanity.

And what are those ideas, notions, concepts, etc. called, collectively? "Their beliefs." The irony? They are not their beliefs at all. They are the beliefs of “others” that were set in place via programming, conditioning, etc. and which persons then think are their own.

And what are those beliefs rooted in, and what reinforces those beliefs and convinces persons that they are sacred and worth fighting over and even sometimes worth dying for? Blind faith.

This 337-page eBook discusses those issues in detail.
