TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS

 ANNOUNCEMENTS 

1. [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] 

2. 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.

THE SEEDS OF DUALITY WHICH PRODUCE DUALITY'S PROGENY: 

Offspring Number Fifteen- 

An Attraction to That Which Reinforces the Ultimate Sickness and Its Maharaj-Identified Traits of "Ignorance, Stupidity, and Insanity" 

Those trapped in duality are belief-driven. Visitors who come here for retreats cannot possibly learn to hate, learn to despise, learn to buy into the planet-wide messaging regarding "different-from-ment and therefore better-than-ment," or learn to believe that those who have a different skin color are less than or who are in a different economic or social level are less than or who have a different sexual orientation are less than. Why" For six reasons: 

1. I have no beliefs, including those, so I have no beliefs to pass on. 

2. I don't give a tinker's damn about any of that. 

3. I am too busy guiding visitors / seekers through the un-learning process to have time to try to encourage them to learn anything. It is noted regularly that "there is no one here with any beliefs, so there cannot possibly be anyone here that wants you or anyone else to learn anything." 

Maharaj shared a lot during the decades he offered non-dual pointers. Many could look at what he shared and say, "He was trying to get seekers to learn what he was sharing." Nope, not true. In fact, nothing he shared was intended to be learned or accumulated or stored away in the mind or added to the body of learned ignorance already stored therein. 

Everything he shared was intended to reveal the falsity of all of the beliefs commonly-held among the masses and to thereby encourage seekers to discard any and all belief in the nonsensical ignorance which the masses are typically taught. 

thus, 

4. the approach here is to lead seekers to the point where they have been totally un-taught, not taught; 

5. to the point where they have been de-programmed, not re-programmed; 

and 

6. to the point where they are freed from all of the beliefs which they were taught by the misinformed masses and to the point where they - for the first time ever - have the ability to choose consciously instead of being driven unconsciously by the conditioning, acculturation, domestication, brainwashing, and indoctrination which they have been taught. 

If that does not happen, then they will continue to stagger throughout the relative existence in a zombie-like manner like someone out of the night of the living dead

and will continue to believe all of the racist and other arrogance-based views which they heard in their homes, in their schools, and in the surrounding community at large. 

And if that does not happen, then they will stagger zombie-like into meetings like someone out of the night of the living dead and will listen to a con playing the role of a super religious person or a con playing the role of a spiritual giant or a con playing the role of a caring politician (who only really cares about his own agenda and about consolidating the power to control the masses to his or her own advantage). 

They will allow the filters set in place during their youth to accompany them into adulthood and their filters will block them from hearing and understanding any pointers which differ from the "ignorance, stupidity and insanity" which they were taught and learned quite well. 

Here is the sequence by which the masses function after they have been programmed by cons and ignorance-driven family members and other ancestors and friends and community leaders: 

THOUGHTS (BELIEFS) --> WORDS --> DEEDS. 

Once their minds have been filled with duality-based garbage, that garbage will determine what they say. Once they verbally express their mind-rooted, nonsensical, learned ignorance, they will eventually act upon it. This is an example used in the past to illustrate the point: 

A trip out-of-state to conduct a seminar this weekend required traveling through the city of Jasper, Texas. Events that shined a national spotlight on that town have been mentioned here before when several white supremacists killed a black man. 

The whites first had the thought "I am different from black people and I am better than black people." Then they began organizing meetings in Jasper where whites stood before other whites and expressed orally their hatred for blacks. Thoughts lead to words, and words led to the deed of three men kidnapping the black man James Byrd, taking him to a remote, country road, placing a chain around his neck and attaching it to the back of their truck, and pulling him along the road until he was decapitated. 

Thought . . . word . . . deed. That is the current modus operandi of humans. They think; then they talk and talk and talk about what they are thinking and believing, showing off their supposed knowledge, showing how wise they are, pushing their beliefs on others; then, they act on those words. Their thoughts drive their words and their words drive their behavior. 

And because their thoughts are based in ignorance at best - and insanity at the extreme - then their behaviors can be nothing other than ignorant and insane as well. The mind that served the species well has now turned on its hosts and is devouring them from within. Where the untapped inner guru could be leading to constructive behavior (relatively speaking) the tapped "mind" is doing the opposite. 

The brain says from the stupor of a morning hangover, "I'll never do that again!" Wise counsel from the brain indeed. But by 5 P.M., the "mind" says, "Well, you could have just one drink. You know you need it before you go home and face what's waiting there." Overriding the constructive messages from the brain, the "mind" is hell-bent on destroying the self. Now, communication and talking flood the airways, businesses, carpools, homes, everywhere. 

Because thoughts are racing, then words are racing, and with words racing, endless going and doing and zooming are the behavioral result. The unconscious drive is to allow the speed of the body to catch up with the speed of the "mind" so some sense of equilibrium might manifest, but it will never happen; thus, going and doing and zooming combine with talk and talk and more talk to become the rule, and it all happens on a "thinking-mind-to-thinking-mind" level. 

Only if seeking begins, and only if a Realized teacher is found, can other types of communication possibly happen. If the seeker follows the "path" in a step-wide fashion, only then might "communicating" happen in a consciousness to thinking mind manner; in a consciousness to working mind fashion; in a consciousness to inner guru / inner resource mode; in a pure consciousness to unblocked consciousness style; in an inner guru / inner resource to inner guru / inner resource mode; and eventually in an awareness to awareness style, after which nothing needs to be said. 

Then, in the absence of thoughts and words, the behavior that erupts spontaneously is "The Dance" . . . merely "Dancing in Silence," "Dancing in the Quiet," "Dancing in Peace." 

That is what the "realized teacher" does, in the end. She / He invites you to the dance, but you must leave all thoughts outside the dancehall, all words outside the dancehall, and all personas and beliefs and ideas and concepts outside the dancehall. In the dancehall of Realization, there is everything and there is nothing; therefore, there is Love and there is Wisdom, and neither of those requires a thought or word to manifest. 

But as long as the masses are driven by the Ultimate Sickness and the ignorance and stupidity and insanity which that Sickness generates, then the duality-based, hate-filled words which they hear will trigger such deeds as those committed by these people: 

A. Dylann Roof 

. . . the white man in Charleston, South Carolina who walked into a black church in a community that has long been a hotbed of anti-black prejudice and who singled out nine people in that church to kill because they were black and because he wanted to trigger a race war on a national scale and because he had been programmed and conditioned and domesticated and acculturated in a community dominated by duality, by the belief that whites are different from blacks and that whites are better than blacks. 

B. Gregory A Bush 

. . . the white man in Kentucky who last week tried but failed to enter a predominantly black church with a gun so instead went to a nearby Kroger grocery store in Kentucky and fatally shot two black people there. 

C. Cesar Sayoc, Jr. 

. . . the white man who in recent weeks sent pipe bombs and threatening letters to prominent Democrats and other critics of President Trump after attending many rallies where he heard the president catalogue those on his enemies list. 

D. Robert Bowers 

. . . the white man who last week entered the Tree of Life Synagogue and killed eleven Jews after listening to those on the Right who are claiming that "the invasion of the U.S. by foreigners is being financed by Jewish people." 

Those guys thought their problems and the country's problems could be traced to blacks, Jews, and liberals, but the common denominator to their terroristic actions was this: they were all committed by white men.

African-American Reporter Don Lemon provoked the Right this week when he stated a provable fact, namely that "white men are the biggest terror threat in this country." 

Did he mean the biggest threat to blacks? Hardly. He was merely citing the evidence: more people killed in this nation annually are killed by white males than by all minority members combined; there are far more whites than minorities in prisons because of crimes committed; white males since 9 / 11 have killed far more U.S. citizens than Muslims; more women are killed by white males than by the members of any minority; and far more women are killed annually by their white male spouses and partners than by minorities.

Those are just the statistics, not beliefs.

The problems in the U.S. and around the globe are perpetuated by those who have an attraction to that which reinforces their Ultimate Sickness and its Maharaj-identified traits of "ignorance, stupidity, and insanity." 

And so it is when persons are driven by hatred which is rooted in "ignorance, stupidity, and insanity" and which is rooted in the dualistic thinking and beliefs and words which duality generates and reinforces. 

Is there any desire that you believe all of the above? Absolutely not. 

Is there a chance that the providing of concrete examples of the results of duality-based thinking and talking and behaving might inspire a few to seek out their own duality-based beliefs and to divest themselves of those? Maybe. Or maybe not.

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 and the many gangs operating around the globe; 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.]
