THE SEEDS OF DUALITY WHICH PRODUCE DUALITY'S PROGENY: 

 Offspring Number Twenty-Nine = 

 Mistaking "love" for "Love" 

To review from yesterday: 

Knowing some of the statements Maharaj made in the past, it is possible to guess what his response might have been to that Big Name Teacher if she had gone to his loft and suggested that "You must love everyone and you must love everything that happens to you and to everyone else throughout the relative existence and if you're raped you should prepare a meal for your rapist and invite him to come back into your home and let you serve him and if the Nazis pulled your child from your arms and tossed your baby into the flames of an oven and made you listen to it screaming and made you watch as its body is consumed by the fire, you should love that, too." 

Knowing that there were certain supposedly "obscene" words and phrases which Maharaj used more often than others, his reply to her would likely have contained the terms "totally insane bullshit" and "get" and "the hell out of" and "this flat." 

Seeing that allowed for a clarification to come in regards to those Maharaj tossed out of the loft, the ones who were only there to show off their accumulated knowledge ("learned ignorance," Maharaj called it) and to show off their assumed spiritual giantism. 

I have heard criticisms of Maharaj for those "tossing": 

"Did he not truly feel love all people?" 

"Where was 'the Love' he spoke of?" 

"That showed the absence of a real understanding of the Oneness." 

First, what would show an absence of a real understanding of the Oneness - and an absence of the non-dual understanding - would be such comments by those persons who make Subject-Object claims such as, "I love everyone." 

To explain further: 

In 2003, in the non-duality-based adventure / mystery novel entitled The Twice-Stolen Necklace Murders, 

 

one of the editors who worked for the publisher interviewed me and then included that exchange at the end of the book. 

One question she asked relates to the subject matter of today's post. She asked: 

Editor: "I know that modern science is confirming this teaching, as in the new revelations regarding the ‘Field of Consciousness.’ But is this understanding you wrote about in this novel compatible with, say, the newest teachings in physics, such as the ‘strings theory’?" 

Floyd: "Absolutely. My Teacher said decades ago that science would one day catch up with the ancients’ understanding and prove that the teachings are fact. Such is happening. Since strings are the lowest common denominator of EVERYTHING, smaller than atoms, smaller than electrons, smaller than the mass of protons and neutrons at the core of electrons, then the understanding of the science of strings shows us that the only thing which makes you appear to be different from me—or from a piano, or from a tree—is the vibrational pattern of the strings. 

"And since the strings are simply energy in movement, and since the strings know automatically what to do when they are manifested in a human as opposed to in a piano as opposed to in a tree, then the teaching of strings proves this Understanding, scientifically. We are consciousness-energy. We are all THAT, all the same, all one, with only appearances leading us to believe we are separate or different. We are not. 

"Physics now proves that we are THAT, that we are all one. We ARE the strings, so to speak. Use whatever name you choose to refer to that one ‘thing’ from which all is composed when manifest. More recently, the strings theory had been modified by some who now claim that the ‘sparticle’ might be even more basic than the string. No matter. What is real is whatever that most basic, singular, non-dual ‘thing’ is, period. 

"Now call That what you want, the truth is that Easterners have known for about 40,000 years that everything in the universe that is manifested or not is nothing more nor less than a manifestation or not-manifestation of That, of the one True That-ness. Call it ‘strings’ or ‘That’ or ‘sparticle’ or ‘energy with consciousness.’ That is All, and that is all there is." 

Does anything in the teachings suggest that I should "love" THAT? No. 

THAT is nothing more than a field of energy, specifically, conscious-energy. The sun is a source of energy as well. Must I love the sunshine? No. Might it be wise to recognize the role it plays, the requirement that it is, for the perpetuation of life as we know it on this planet? Maybe so. But must I love it? No. 

Furthermore, does anything in the teachings suggest that I should "love" every person? No. One might as well suggest that I should love every mirage I see in the desert or while driving along a highway. 

The reason that all are invited to see the Oneness, to see that "we" - that all composite unities - are the same as everything less at its core is to interrupt the spread of ego-state and egotism-driven concepts which foster a sense of "different-from-ment" and which then foster a belief in a sense of "better-than-ment." 

And why interrupt the spread of those no-understanding-of-the-Oneness beliefs? Only to interrupt that which flows from those beliefs, namely, a false sense of separation and the accompanying conflict and chaos and disharmony and discord and lack of peace and war which evolve from those beliefs. 

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.]
