TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS
ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. [See the offer in gold text 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 green text after today's 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." (See the details in the blue text after this post.)
The point in this series is that the non-dual message has long been widespread but has seldom been understood either then or now. So, to move on . . .
FURTHER DISCUSSIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING SHAKESPEARE'S NON-DUAL QUOTES AND POINTERS
Shakespeare's "Humours" (Continued)
Yesterday it was mentioned that two major peace-generating changes can come to the relative existence if persons do not assume roles. That applies to any and all roles, but we’ll look at the roles of “The Husband” or “The Wife” for today’s example because the playing of those roles can lead to stress, arguing, chaos, and even murder.
(That does not mean that others roles can’t have the same effects. They do.)
CHANGE NUMBER ONE
1. If one gives up playing the role of “The Husband,” or if one gives up playing the role of “The Wife,” then the first result to manifest will be freedom . . . independence.
To the masses, that is not a “selling point” for realization and abandonment of role-playing because the masses do not really want to be free. The majority want some institution or some person or persons to take care of them.
As regular visitors to this site understand, there are nine basic personality types, each with its own desires and fears and propensities which determine thoughts and words and actions.
The Type Six is the most common of all types with 50% of all humans on the planet having a Type Six Personality as their primary type.
The Type Six is called “The Loyalist” or “The Loyal Skeptic.” Because they are fear-based, they are security-oriented types. The result is that they are drawn to jobs which give them power and even firepower.
Many end up joining the military which provides housing, food, and clothing as well as the right to bear arms. Others will be advocates of such institutions, supporting those who they think are protecting them. Many Type Sixes will marry a Type Six who is in the military or aligned with some other "we'll be responsible for taking total care of you" institution.
After they leave the military, many who are Type Sixes will join a police force in order to get the funds needed for food, clothing, shelter and, in many cases, transportation, being allowed to use their police vehicles 24 / 7 because they are “always on call.”
Eighty percent of all police in the U.S. served in the military first. It was there that they were trained to complete their stated mission, namely, “to seek out and destroy.”
Other Sixes end up in careers where they can seek authority and control while being taken care of.
Their phobic thought-life generates anxiety and suspicion as well as fear, and when those traits are combined, they often lead Sixes to adopt the philosophy that “the worst is yet to come,” “most cannot be trusted and are out to harm us,” “the best defense is a strong, powerful offense,” “shoot first and ask questions later,”
“collateral damage is just a fact of life, necessary in order to protect the majority” “force can only be a deterrent if used and demonstrated regularly,” “there’s safety in numbers,” and “others - especially those different from us - must be smashed or they’ll smash us.”
The result, again, is being co-dependent and dependent (and therefore not independent / not free).
And that’s 50% of all persons on the planet, but that’s not all. Type Fives and Sevens can adopt Type Six traits and Type Six thinking and Type Six talking and Type Six behavioral patterns.
Type Nines and Threes can also adopt Type Six traits, and Type Fours - if they assume Type Six belief systems - can develop a Borderline Personality.
Next, the assumption of any role requires a second role player to be willing to play the dependent and co-dependent counterpart role which all roles require: there can be no “Employee” without an “Employer”; there can be no “Leader” without a “Follower”; there can be no “Soldier” without a “Commander,” etc., etc., etc.
Thus, most persons on the planet are driven, subconsciously, by a personality type to be dependent and co-dependent. Which type rebels against that and is most likely to be interested in realization and independence and freedom and rejection of all phony roles? The Type Four.
And how many of those are on the planet? Only one-half of 1% of the 7.5 billion persons on the planet.
Of those 7.5 billion persons on the planet, counting true Type Sixes and those who have assumed Type Six traits, an estimated 5.625 billion are driven by anxiety and insecurity and thus engage in power-seeking and dependency-seeking.
Of those 7.5 billion persons on the planet, an estimated 35 million may occasionally exhibit certain Type Four traits like those shown by Maharaj in his later phase, but - per Maharaj’s estimate / guesstimate – only a four-digit number of persons will have rejected all learned ignorance and all insanity and become fully realized and totally independent at an given moment.
Only those who have given up all role-playing can reach that free of ignorance and free of insanity state.
CHANGE NUMBER TWO
2. The next difference which can come is being free of being driven by egotism (which generates the sense of different-from-ment and which leads to a self-perception of better-than-ment and which, in turn, leads to conflict and chaos and fighting and war).
How to bring about that difference?
To use our “Husband” / “Wife” example, if one does not assume the false identity of “The Husband” or “The Wife,” then the next chaos-and-disharmony-generating event which always follows role-assumption cannot happen. That event?
Upgrading one’s own roles and downgrading the state of all other role-players.
For example, shortly after the ego-state of “The Husband” is assumed (or any other ego-state as well) then ego-defense mechanisms (such as egotism) will be triggered and the roles of “The Husband” will self-elevate or self-upgrade itself to the role of “The Super Husband.”
Now all that was needed to believe that the role of “The Husband” was a true identity was finding someone willing to play the co-dependent counterpart role of “The Wife,” but once egotism upgraded ”The Husband” to the status of “The Super Husband,” then what is required for a belief in that upgraded role to continue is a “Super Wife” to play the co-dependent counterpart role.
Well, both of those roles are false. There’s no such thing as “The Wife,” much less “The Super Wife,” so “The Super Husband” becomes frustrated, convinced that he’s not getting what he deserves – and what his belief system requires; thereafter, a sense of separation develops which will eventually lead to physical separation.
Similarly, when “Wife” upgrades her self to “Super Wife,” it becomes obvious to “her” that the person she is with is not anything even close to “The Super Husband” she deserves (and requires). Hence, “I’m leaving you. You’re not good enough for me.” And, subconsciously, “I'm off to find a “Super Husband” who will provided what I want and deserve. Adios, loser!”
Consider the post-realization possibility:
Humans can go along with the culture’s game and can marry without assuming the false identities which the culture would have them assume. That is why it is said here that “husbanding” and “wifing” can happen without assuming the false identities of “Husband” and “Wife” and then upgrading those to the false identifications of “Super Husband” and “Super Wife.”
And the same goes for the thousands of other roles which cultures all around the globe assign to persons or which are assumed by persons.
Every assumed role requires constant effort to try to keep the counterpart player required and to process all of the thoughts generated by each role and to continue all of the talk generated by that role and all of the actions generated by that role.
In the case of humans who reach an adult age, it has been seen here while working with them that most have between 70-80 roles being played during any given period of years.
See how exhausting that is. Then see why so few will ever realize and be free of all that exhaustion because they do not have even the slightest clue about what the game is that is sapping them mentally and verbally and behaviorally and emotionally.
Again, Shakespeare: “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and [each] plays many parts.”
Yet even the greatest actors eventually have enough and retire from the stage. The masses, on the other hand, stay on the stage and assume one role after another and engage in one exhausting act after another until the very end of the manifestation.
If you have not left the stage, how exhausted are you? I have found that one statement reveals to me whether or not a seeker is truly “ready,” that statement being “I’m tired . . . really tired.”
As Shakespeare had his character Hamlet say, “The readiness is all.” If that state of readiness is not reached and recognized, then the phoniness on the stage will continue, along with the exhaustion of playing so many energy-draining roles.
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) whose Vatican Bank worked for decades with the Mafia while laundering mob earnings (for a 15% all-profit charge by the Bank); 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.]
