TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS
ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. Following eye surgery, clear focusing has not returned and eye strain results from anything other than a brief exposure to a computer screen; moreover, two follow up procedures must be arranged to "fine tune" the effects of the surgery; hence, postings may happen sporadically for awhile.
2. [See the offer following this post for details on how you can watch a retreat on video which includes a detailed discussion of all seven of the steps on the path as used by Maharaj]
3. Here, with those who are still driven to talk about "God," the "Son of God," the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns. See the end of the post for the full meaning and implications of that.
4. A new video ("Number Ten: Awakening Together Satsang, March 2018") has now been added in the far right column of this page, offering the opportunity to view a recent 2018 satsang session with Floyd being interviewed by Regina and Jacqueline of "The Awakening Together Group."
THE SEEDS OF DUALITY WHICH PRODUCE DUALITY'S PROGENY:
Offspring Number Two -
The Belief That the Drama Being Projected onto Screens (or the Drama Being Acted out on the Stage of the Global Theater of the Lie) is Real and True
Per Maharaj, "being realized" simply refers to (1) realizing that all of the learned ignorance stored in human minds is nonsense; to (2) discarding it because it is seen to be false; then (3) abiding under the nisargan / natural auspices of the elemental plant food brain rather than under the auspices of a distortion-and-lie-filled mind.
Also per Maharaj, most of humankind has not realized anything and likely never will. The result?
It is as if there is a projector inside the head of every non-realized person and the film contains all of the invalid and untrue and unfounded and illogical and worthless and ignorant beliefs which have been placed in human minds as a result of all of the invalid and untrue and unfounded and illogical and worthless and ignorant programming and conditioning and domestication and acculturation and brainwashing and indoctrination;
then, that projector is constantly running and projecting onto the screen what I then see as "the world, which so happens to be exactly the way it is as being viewed through our my eyes."
The fact: there is no world at all. What is being viewed is a series of images on the projected film, and each image involves some false belief which was taught and which is now stored on the imagined-only celluloid which is capable of playing continuously without any consciousness or awareness being required on the part of humans at all.
Moreover, that film is running on autopilot and is projecting itself onto an imaginary screen which persons only assume to be reality as they watch themselves and others as they go about the business of generating the most outrageous dramas imaginable (and they really are that . . . merely imagined dramas which are taken to be real and so very important).
Yet the myopic vision, the unclear perspective of non-realized persons, is blocked by a miasma - a cloudy haze - made up of blockages in front of the projector lens which prevents things from being seen as they truly are rather than as they are imagined to be.
Additionally, in the case of all persons, once their formerly clear film has been scribbled on and cluttered with the invalid and untrue and unfounded and illogical and worthless and ignorant information passed on via distorted and ignorant and insane programming and conditioning and domestication and acculturation and brainwashing and indoctrination, none of them will ever come to any valid understanding.
They are unable to decide what goes on the film and what's going to be projected and what they believe they are seeing when they look at what they call "the world" without realizing that they playing no conscious, active part in their own existence after the stage is set for them to step onto the stage of the Theater of the Lie and start sharing the thoughts they were programmed to think and start saying the words they were programmed to say and start taking the actions they were programmed to take.
While they think they are controlling the drama, they are actually only subconsciously and unconsciously playing the parts which were written for them by their parents and grandparents and other ancestors and by their cultures and by anyone and everyone else who has planted in the script of their minds every bogus concept and idea and belief which they have accepted as truth even though it is all based in lies and distortions and delusions and ignorance and insanity.
Some might become so tired of the drama and the histrionics that the decide to rewrite what was put on their film, yet that is useless. Whatever they come up with to replace the old writings with new writings, the new writings are still plagued by the same blockages which have prevented them all along from seeing clearly.
The only sane course is to wipe clean the dirty, distorted film and then leave it that way or to toss out their current film any other films completely.
Thereafter, natural abidance can happen.
Otherwise, insanity shall remain because they will continue to believe the nonsense which is recorded on all film and they will continue to believe, insanely, that the drama being acted out on the stage of the global Theater of the Lie is real and true when it's actually all fiction.
To be continued.

Here, with those who are still driven to talk about "God," the "Son of God," the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns.
THE EXPLANATION
If looked at as nouns, they point to illusions and are, therefore, a total waste of time to even discuss; if looked at as verbs which are resulting in certain sane but rare behaviors among humanity, then they are worthy of some attention during the relative existence.
Meaning? There are members of certain groups who say things such as "My concept of God in the past was of a weak God, an absentee God, A Santa Claus-type God, a mean, punishing, vindictive God, etc. Today, I am in close contact with a loving and caring God whom I worship and praise and glorify and give thanks to."
The reply to that usually goes like this: "If you are in contact with a God that wants to be worshipped and praised and glorified, then you're dealing with someone like yourself - a narcissist - and hanging out with narcissists will never bring an end to your narcissism (that narcissism evidenced by the fact that you think you are "godly").
Next, in the phrase 'loving and caring God,' any supposed God that truly had her or his act together would tell you that the totally irrelevant part of that phrase is 'God' and that the only part that is relevant is the "loving and caring" part.
"That is, a non-narcissistic god / goddess would say, "I care not an iota about being worshipped and praised and glorified by you or anyone else. How arrogant and insecure and needy would I have to be to want that? Forget the man-made, dreamed up noun 'God' and focus on the 'God as a verb' understanding and then go forth and let loving and caring be verbs - not adjectives - and let them generate the act of love and the act of caring and let those actions manifest through you."
Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on:
"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within"
--Yeshu'a (Jesus)
and
"Heaven and earth shall fade away."
--Yeshu'a (Jesus)
and
"Heaven and hell are not geographic places but are states of mind, nothing more than concepts dreamed up by men."
--Pope John Paul II
"There is no hell."
--Pope Francis, the current pope
in an interview with journalist Eugenio Scalfari,
a writer used by the Pope to issue off the record
teachings
which become a part of the Papal Magisterium.
[That said, would that the popes who have shown the courage to reject a core concept of their dogma - namely, "hell" - would find the additional courage required to question the very existence of their institution in light of the centuries-long cover-up of their history of raping children and in light of the mental and emotional and psychological scarring of billions of their members past and present.
And that need for courage also applies as questions need to be asked about why so many other sky cults are still being supported and allowed to continue to exist as well. When certain types of programming and conditioning have been shown to blind the masses, they should end. Will they? Not likely. Why?
Because what the masses think and say and do is most influenced by the international crime families which hold sway over the masses as criminals conduct their planet-wide operations. What are the major international crime families and which are the most influential and have the largest memberships?
The Mafia / La Cosa Nostra; the Catholic Church (with it 1.2 billion followers); Protestant and Evangelical Churches (with over 1.2 billion followers) like the one I was raised in where the youth director molested and sexually assaulted young girls; big business which has long created environments in which people have been abused; powerful political bodies like the U.S. Congress, etc., etc., etc.)
With all of those crime families, neither the followers nor the leadership ever voluntarily step down or shut down their criminal activities. Be they gangs, organized crime families, religions, big business, politicians, etc., they all want control and they all want power and they all want money, and nothing internal will interfere with the driving forces at play.
The masses must demand that all those in charge must step down and their groups and institutions must shut down, and there's the real problem because the continuation of their crimes are enabled not as much by the people running such crime organizations as they are enabled by the masses of people who - wanting some perceived "payoff" - remain involved with them and give them money and support them and aid and abet the continued existence of those criminal enterprises and thus facilitate the ability of church criminals and political criminals and other types of criminals to continue to commit their crimes.]
