THE NON-DUALITY MESSAGE HAS LONG BEEN WIDESPREAD BUT IT HAS SELDOM BEEN UNDERSTOOD EITHER THEN OR NOW

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. 

We’ll return to the deeper meaning behind some Maharaj quotes after a break for a few days and look again at the prevalence of the non-dual message being offered all around us. Today, we’ll look at the non-dual message as offered by 

“Richard Williams” / “Prince Ea” 

While most will never “hear” the message, it in not because they have never heard the message. It is being offered from within many small pockets of unblocked consciousness in some of the least expected places. It might be contained in the lyrics of a John Lennon song; 

or it might be contained in a sermon where people hear the words spoken by Yeshu'a (the one they call “Jesus” or “my Lord and Savior”) without having a clue what he was really talking about when he said the following: 

"When you speak of Me, speak of Me as I AM." 

"Before Abraham was, I AM." 

"No one shall ever see the kingdom of heaven - it is within." 

"Heaven and earth shall fade away” (as will all concepts when the un-manifestation happens and when conscious-energy slowly fades back into the universal field of energy). 

"A man’s enemies will be the members of his household." 

"A dual-minded person is unstable in all ways." 

Or the message might be heard in the living room of a home north of Houston, Texas. 

Or it might have been offered by someone called “Maruti Shivrampant Kambli” by some and “Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj” by others. (He actually understood that he was neither.)

Or it might be offered by someone called “Richard Williams” by some and “Prince Ea” by others. (He actually understands that he is neither.)

So the message could have been heard in either his talk or in the subsequent interview he gave in 2014 regarding a killing in Ferguson, Missouri that year.

In the case of that short interview (available below), some "non-dualists" were quite surprised to hear the pointers offered by “Prince Ea” / “Richard Williams” in that post-talk interview which was laced with non-dual, “Reality / reality” pointers (and with some language which certain persons classified as "highly offensive"). 

[Note: Some of those who are big fans of Maharaj are not aware of the fact that he peppered his talks with profanities, using the term “bullshit” on many occasions; Maharaj was not initially aware that his translators deleted those profanities from the copies of the transcripts sent to the publisher of the book I AM THAT. So it is.] 

As for Williams’ post-talk interview, many were disgusted, many were dismissive, some were down-right angry, and a few were rather appreciative. But most did not hear his non-dual message at all, even if among the few who saw the video of his post-talk interview.

(By the way, many of his early “reviews” were as critical as those received by some visitors here. Those who can only see “this world” or “this world and other worlds” or “THAT world” are certainly not ready for “Reality / reality” pointers.) 

So who is musician “Prince Ea” and what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, U.S.A. which triggered his talk and the interview afterwards? An unarmed black male was shot and killed by a white policeman.

[According to one source, there have been 3,559 black men shot and killed in the U.S. by law enforcement in the time since (a) Brown was shot and (b) today. That number will be higher by Monday.]

The facts are not all in and may never be all in regarding that shooting in Ferguson, Missouri; yet the first take here was that “ignorance and stupidity and insanity” crossed paths with “ignorance, stupidity and insanity.” The results of such crossings seldom have "a happy ending" in the relative existence. 

For those that might be interested, the interview with the caption "Keepin’ It Real: Prince Ea Speaks About The Outrage In Ferguson . . . ‘Mankind Has The Opportunity To Transform Into Kind Man’" will be offered here once more. 

In that interview conducted during a walk from the building where he spoke to his car parked on the street, he offered non-dual pointers which addressed these topics which some non-dualists often discuss: 

brainwashing and conditioning

blind loyalty 

the effects of culture / acculturation on the psyche  and behavior and the culture at large

the fact that beliefs control all thoughts and words and actions 

blindly accepting what parents and grandparents taught 

the pure witnessing / authentic “self” looking outward 

The challenge to find “Who” you are"

"From mankind to kind man"

and

the pointer that “They know not what they do because they know not who they are” – that which understands / sees reality 

Obviously, Williams is following the SELF-Inquiry “path” rather than the “self-inquiry” “path.” (Maharaj originally endorsed the former but later changed his message, noting that the latter would be enough). 

Here’s the video which those offended by certain “swear words” might prefer to skip.

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.]
