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. 

3. 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 Thirty-Six = 
An Inability to Differentiate Between "self" and "Self" and to understand what "the Self" Is and What "the Self" is not and to understand both the not-Self and the not-self. 

THERE IS NO REALITY TO THE CONCEPTS OF selfness OR SELFNESS 

Some reach a point where they have been so far removed from reality and authenticity that they exclaim, 

"I don't even know who I am anymore!" 

Some of those begin a searching process or a "journey" to find the answer to "WHO am I?" 

Some ask, "Who is this that others refer to as 'you' when they are referring to me?" 

One of the Delphic maxims offered by the Ancient Greeks was the aphorism, "Know thyself," expressed nowadays as, "Know who you are" or "Know yourself" or "Find the real self" or "Fine your True Self." 

None of that is even remotely possible, because - in reality - there is no "who-ness," no WHO-ness," no "self," no "Self," no "you" and no "You." 

Rather than ask, "WHO am I?" one might ask "What Am I" and "What is this which is temporarily manifested and which 'I' have been trained to refer to as 'I'?" 

WHAT that is is a triad, a composite unity made of three parts. All three parts are constantly coming into the composite unity and leaving the composite unity, so the "I" (or the "you" as some refer to me") has no continuity at all. 

What the unity is one second is not the same unity the next second. The skin is replaced every 28 days. The stomach lining is replaced every few days. Various parts are always coming and going.

Why else? 

Because the three parts of the composite unity are constantly in movement, constantly manifesting in the space formed by the unity and then constantly unmanifesting from that space. 

The three parts are: 

1. elements which form a temporary plant food body; 

2. oxygen circulating into and out of the space formed by the elements; 

and 

3. conscious-energy which is also manifesting within the space and then unmanifesting. 

One of the grandest delusions regarding "the consciousness" is the notion that there is this quantity of consciousness which has existed within "me" since day one. That is a hoax, a complete misunderstanding, rooted in the illusory concept of "memories."

Consciousness is transferred in a way that scientist Szent-Gyorgyi explained thusly: “What drives life is thus a little electric current, set up by the sunshine.” 

Here's the process, the sequence, if you will: 

The sunshine interacts with plants, and plants transfer that 

sunshine-to-electric-current 

(a.k.a., energy, including conscious-energy) 

to-composite-unities 

when unities consume plants or consume something which ate plants. 

As for the elements, the process whereby unities come into existence happens when two already-existing unities enter into an act of friction which propels millions of sperm cells out of one unity and into another unity. 

If one sperm among the millions propelled into a second unity wins The Race to the Egg, then the egg might become fertilized as those sperm and egg elements come together. 

From that, an expanding number of elements will continue to come together as a unit, as a unified composite of elements, and a third unity may emerge nine months later, in the case of "humans." 

The number of composite unities on the planet is near infinite. "Humans" are composite unities; "birds" are composite unities; "fish" are composite unities; etc., etc., etc. 

Those unities are nothing more than elements which provide a space in which air can be circulated temporarily and in which conscious-energy can be circulated temporarily by consuming plants or things which ate plants. 

Is it clear that the so-called "parents" of a composite unity did not "create" anything? Their bodies merely and spontaneously circulated elements and air and conscious-energy. 

All three of those parts are "what's," not "who's." The eight most abundant elements on the earth's include: oxygen, magnesium, silicon, iron, calcium, aluminum, sodium, and potassium. 

Would anyone ever ask, "Who exactly is oxygen?" 

Would oxygen ever say, "I don't even know who I am anymore!" 

Would oxygen ever ask, "WHO am I?" 

Would oxygen ever ask, "Who is this that others refer to as 'you' when they talk with me or to me?" 

Would oxygen ever say, "You must know thyself" or say "Know who you are" or say "Know yourself" or say "Find who you really are" or say "Fine your True Self"? 

None of that is possible, not only because of oxygen's inability to talk but also because oxygen has no "who-ness," no WHO-ness," no "self," no "Self," no "you" and no "You." 

Similarly, neither elements nor conscious-energy have any "who-ness" or "WHO-ness" or "self" or "Self" or "you" or "You." 

All that comes and goes and which forms and temporarily sustains the form of a composite unity will eventually stop coming and stop going. 

At that point, the composite unity will no longer exist as a unit, though the elements etc. will remain forever, though never together again. 

That being the case, when all that came together to form a composite unity eventually all comes apart (See the "Second Law of Thermodynamics") then nothing about that unit / composite unity and no part of that unity can survive intact. 

No gauzy, floating, invisible, half-bird / half-human "something" will survive the total coming apart of the unit. 

No gauzy, invisible "something" (a.k.a., "soul") will survive the total coming apart of the unit because it was never among the three parts which were there to begin with. 

No self or Self was ever a part of any composite unity, so how could either of those possibly be a part of what remains when a composite unity no longer remains? 

All of those bogus concepts / false beliefs are rooted in the magical thinking and programming and conditioning which are the tools of religious or spiritual or business or government persons who dreamed up those concepts and beliefs in order to use them to control the masses NOW, not to protect the masses in some LATER existence and other-worldly place. 

So, there is no post-manifestation SELF of SELFNESS in any form or variety or mode or manner. 

Yeshu'a (Jesus) and medical experts and popes and fact-sharing scientists and many among the few rational, realized types all agree. Consider this comparison: 

Just as there is no ICE-CUBENESS in any form or variety or mode or manner after a quantity of H20 - which had been shaped and frozen into a cube shape - is left on a hot sidewalk in summer and melts. 

What remains after the cube dissolves? H20 remains, but that particular cube-shaped entity or unit is gone forever. The hydrogen and the oxygen which combined and formed that specific cube will never form that cube again. 

the cube will not exist in some altered form in another state or place. 

It will not assume some cube-like form in another world. 

It will not be reunited with the cubes which it had spent time with at an earlier point in an ice tray. 

That cube-shaped unity unmanifested and is thus gone forever, but the elements which formed the cube will remain forever because neither energy nor matter can be created nor destroyed. 

The same is the case with "humans" which are a minority on the planet in terms of all of the forms which are also among the composite unities which have come and gone or which are present now but which will also go. 

What could possibly be left? An angel, a demon, a soul, a spirit, an individual "this" or an individual "that"? 

Or merely elements which have returned to the universal pool of elements; oxygen which has returned to the universal pool of oxygen; and conscious-energy which has returned to the universal pool of conscious-energy? 

If the latter is the case, then why not relax and enjoy that which can only be enjoyed NOW because there will be no self or Self or anything else to enjoy or not enjoy anything later

To be continued.

In addition to the five non-duality books made available without charge by Andy Gugar, Jr. (see “FREEBIES” above), you can now access nearly 3,300 posts for any topics of interest to you. 

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.]

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.
