TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS
THE FOUR STAGES AS TAUGHT HERE:
Stage I: Programming to accumulate
Stage II: Accumulating
a. Discomfort / Emptiness inspiring even more accumulation or
b. Discomfort / Emptiness inspiring seeking outside the popular venues
Stage III: Forest Dweller - the prerequisite and
facilitator of the "inner journey"
Stage IV: De-Accumulation (via completion of the Four
Stages and the Seven Steps to Realization, followed by abidance in the solitude
of a relative existence that has been overlaid with the Absolute, then by
abidance as the Nothingness, then by abidance, period, until the end of the
manifestation).
In "Chapter Fourteen" of THE ULTIMATE SICKNESS / THE ULTIMATE MEDICINE
the
following is shared regarding the fourth stage:
It is during the fourth of four stages that the Ultimate Medicine is administered in seven specific steps to address the Ultimate Sickness. Before discussing the administration of the Ultimate Medicine, review the symptoms of the Ultimate Sickness:
The Ultimate Sickness, like most sicknesses, is passed on
when persons interact; it is contracted when a previously-well person is
exposed to another person or persons who have the sickness.
The Sickness is primarily a mental and emotional sickness that is contracted during Stage I when exposed to the ignorance and insanity which have already spread throughout every culture on the planet. Exposure to the carriers also results in personality disorders that can include but are not limited to:
the Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder; the Depressive Personality Disorder; the Histrionic Personality Disorder; the Factitious Personality Disorder; the Narcissistic Personality Disorder; the Avoidant or Schizoid Avoidant or Schizotypal Personality Disorder;
the Passive-Aggressive Personality Disorder; the Paranoid Personality Disorder; the Manic-Depressive Personality Disorder; the Antisocial or Sociopathic or Pathological Personality Disorder; and the Dependent Personality Disorder.
Some of the symptoms of the Ultimate Sickness include an inability to distinguish true from false and, therefore, the propensity to believe lies; to distort perceptions; to believe that images are real; to have no clue who you are; to talk in one's sleep; to work and drive and walk while asleep;
to accept as true, without questioning to even the slightest degree, the concepts and beliefs that are taught by authority figures and to believe the most unbelievable tales that those figures dream up; to accumulate the various forms of the sickness and then to pass them along to family members and friends and associates with pride in having done so; to accept with faith beliefs that have no basis in fact and that cannot possibly be proved; to be so delusional that one is believed to be two;
to believe that learned ignorance is wisdom; to suffer willingly and repeatedly the consequences of what Maharaj called "learned ignorance, insanity, and stupidity"; to lose all ability to detect nonsense when it is heard;
to allow subconscious motivators (a.k.a., personality / personalities) to determine every thought and word and action while believing that one is consciously choosing to think what is thought, to say what is said, and to do what is done; to be asleep but to believe that one is awake;
to be self-destructive; to exhibit impaired judgment; to be unreasonable and illogical; to display unstable and inappropriate emotions (that is, being emotional intoxicated); to be religiously or spiritually intoxicated; to have hallucinations (such as believing that you can hear a supernatural being from another world and to believe that such a being is actually talking to you);
to believe that the not-special is special; to believe that absolutes can be applied to things relative; to be disorganized and confused while thinking that you are organized and thinking clearly; to develop extreme dependencies on people and groups and leaders and powers living in unseen worlds; to be unable to cope; to be in a state of unwarranted fear; to constantly desire more and more of what is already making one sick;
to feel guilt and self-blame that have no basis in fact; to behave like a six-year old child for an entire manifestation; to be preoccupied with "self" (with the false selves or false identities that are assumed and thought to be real); to play a role on a stage and believe the character is real;
to believe that a physical, plant food body can disintegrate, re-integrate, and last for eternity and can feel pain or ecstasy for eternity; to suffer and then still believe that suffering is good; ad infinitum.
Imagine: if persons knew of an Ultimate Medicine that could cure all of the above, they would call that a "miracle drug." Not only does such a medicine exist, and not only does it address all of the symptoms of the Ultimate Sickness which are catalogued above, but it is available at a fraction of the cost that any sane and sound person would estimate its true value to be.
Yet few will ever know it even exists because few will ever know that they are suffering from the symptoms of the Ultimate Sickness and because, therefore, few will ever understand they need to be cured from the sickness contracted during the first of the four stages being discussed in this series, namely, the Accumulation Stage.
And even for the few that finally realize how sick they are and that the Ultimate Medicine is available, they will whine about the time required for administering the full dosage;
or will want it in one quick shot so they can go about doing what they have been going about doing; or will whine about the fact that the pharmacist that is paying his bills by dispensing the "life-changing," restorative potion does not give it away for free, his overhead be damned:
"Why should we have to give him a mango to receive the medicine from him?" or "Why should he accept donations for his ashram and that temple built over his mother's remains instead of giving the medicine away without accepting anything?" or "Why should he want a house when so many empty caves are available if he would just make that sacrifice for me?" or "How dare my pharmacist accept anything for dispensing the medicine that I need!"
And in addition to those, there are so many other obstacles to being "fully well, fully realized, and fully free": not seeing that one is sick; not finding the one medicine that is required to address the illness; not finding one that can dispense the medicine in the seven very clear-cut steps as required;
not being ready to take the medicine that might not always taste as good as some might like; not being willing to sacrifice what must be sacrificed in order to receive the medicine and be made whole and well; and not being willing to follow the doctor's orders exactly as prescribed.
Yet so it is. For those that can move beyond those obstacles, the seven-step administration of the Ultimate Medicine for the Ultimate Sickness awaits in the Fourth Stage where all of the components of the sickness and where all of the symptoms can be subjected to the process of de-accumulation that purges seekers of the toxins that are presently stored in "their minds."
