ALL OF THE OTHER REALIZATIONS WHICH CAME AND ALLOWED FOR FULL REALIZATION 

THE VISION

[From yesterday]

You are invited to read the vision; to know that it made no sense after it first came; to understand that its message "hit like a lightning bolt" that brought the light and the explosive force that blasted away the final obstructions and blockages; 

that beyond its basic revelations regarding the non-dual teachings, many other more subtle parts of the teachings were only seen and recognized over a period of days and weeks and months; and that the entire three-legged journey can be understood by you now - with no more long and arduous seeking required - if you understand what the vision reveals. 

To clarify:

"Leg One" of the manifestation is what happens with every human: An act of friction allows for a transfer of sperm from one elemental plant food body into another which has an egg; if the egg is fertilized, then a spontaneous process can begin which will happen automatically, on its own, without any "conscious thought" or intention. The mechanisms involved in this self-acting or self-regulating process will be largely or wholly involuntary.

Each step of the natural process will be activated without deliberation and will unfold under the auspices of conscious-energy as long as the so-called "mother-to-be" eats plant food or something that ate plant food and via that process will assure that consciousness is passed to a developing fetus which, in turn, allows plant food cells to be converted spontaneously and automatically into humans cells and allows the process to continue.

[The same happens with an acorn that is buried in the ground by a squirrel and is forgotten: the consciousness / conscious-energy therein - if favorable conditions for development exist - will, spontaneously and automatically, develop into an oak tree all on in a self-acting or self-regulating process which will be largely or wholly involuntary. It all just happens naturally and automatically as long as the manifest conscious-energy is functioning. In all such cases, each step of the all-natural process will be activated without deliberation.]

Eventually, in the case with humans, should another elemental plant food body come about as a result of the spontaneous cycling of plant food cells and air and elements and conscious-energy, then the resulting composite unity will be exposed in short order to warped and ignorant programming, conditioning, etc. and will identify with false roles, with a fiction-filled mind, and with a physical body.

At that point, the first leg will be complete. For the few who seek outside the typical venues where most humans are exposed to distorted teachings about "things Noumenal," some might undertake a "journey" or follow a "path" - which can for the sake of discussion be called "the second leg" - in an effort to be freed from the effects of warped and ignorant programming, conditioning, etc. and thereby be able to realize, that is, be freed of all of the learned ignorance which they were taught.

The vision describes what happens on that second leg which Maharaj called "the reversing process" or the "going back out" process which the steps in leg one are taken in the same exact, but reverse order, to undo the mess generated by warped and ignorant programming, conditioning, etc. and to understand "Truth" and "Reality."

If that leg is completed, then one can take the third leg back in, returning to the relative existence but without any of the nonsensical beliefs that were passed along during the first leg of the manifestation.

[The fourth leg, like the first leg, is taken by all. Realized or not, all will return from whence "they" came, the elements which cycled to form an every-changing elemental plant food body returning to the universal pool of elements; the air cycling through the body at the time that mahasamadhi is taken being released and returning to the universal pool of air; 

and whatever quantity of conscious-energy that was within the plant food body at the time that mahasamadhi is taken - and which was also cycling into and out of the elemental plant food body during its entire existence - will return to the universal pool of conscious-energy. Legs one and four cannot be avoided. Most will avoid legs two and three. Sot it is. In the end, the fate for each human / composite unity will be the same.]

A discussion and explanation o the elements within the vision which provided the remaining "missing parts of the puzzle" and the clarifications which led to the final understanding here will be offered. Also, as the discussion unfolds during the upcoming postings, you will be given access into the consciousness "in real time" in order to see exactly how the understanding unfolded, step-by-step, as every part of the vision - and the understanding - eventually became clear.] 

But first, here's THE REST OF THE STORY in more detail: 

So "the journey" actually has three "legs" or parts. In the vision, you will see that Awareness manifested as it exited into the crystal cave via the door of the dome of light, crossed the cave, exited through the veil into the tunnel, was shot out of the tunnel in the form of the eagle, transformed into a gull and then a raven, entered into manifestation, and moved through the arch and into a human body.

The difference after "coming back a second time" after Realization? You will see that the body left the forest, walked across a field, returned to the same situation it was in prior to the journey to the cave and the dome and beyond, and then continued with the relative existence. But in a totally different way. 

That's what happens when the understanding of Reality is overlaid on "reality" . . . on the relative existence. That is the third leg of "the journey": 

On the first leg, there is the process of moving from Your Original Nature to identification with the body. That "journey" separates persons by seven degrees from an awareness of Awareness and their Original Nature. 

On the second leg, the seeker completes the entire "journey" as described in the vision and realizes. Many seekers stop there, never completing the third leg but living in a kind of "foo-foo world, out there" . . . dissociated . . . detached from "reality" (from things relative) and forsaking the Am-ness rather than allowing "Applied Advaita" to allow for joy and / or peace to happen spontaneously throughout the remainder of the manifestation. 

The third leg is like the first except it happens with full awareness - fully aware of the way that programming, conditioning, domestication, acculturation, brainwashing and indoctrination led to a relative existence that was marked and marred by what Maharaj called "ignorance, stupidity, and insanity." 

Happening with full awareness, the original "traps" (which persons are subjected to during the initial manifestation) are avoided this time around, allowing the remainder of the manifestation to unfold spontaneously under the auspices of understanding, reason, logic and sanity. 

So, revealed through the vision are the three parts of "the journey" (the three legs, if you will), all of which are required for realization and natural abidance. There are also, however, several other groups of three in the vision that can reveal more about non-duality if their meaning and symbolism are understood. You will see that . . .

there are three birds; there are three types of "bodies" that represent three stages of shifting beyond the influence of programming, conditioning, domestication, acculturation, brainwashing and indoctrination; there are three states in which the energy functions: prior to consciousness, during the manifestation of consciousness, and then once again unmanifested / not manifested; 

and

there are three levels that must be transcended to complete what Maharaj called the "going back, the reversing" including the unblocking of the consciousness, reaching "the borderline" that Maharaj spoke of, and then "crossing over." 

So, to begin, let's look at what the three birds can reveal about the non-dual understanding. After awakening fully following the vision, a rough overview of the vision's content was written quickly and sketchily so that it would not be lost as happened with Coleridge and his vision that would be laid out only partially in "Kubla Khan." 

[According to Coleridge's Preface to "Kubla Khan," the poem was composed one night after he experienced a drug-induced dream that came following the reading of a work describing Xanadu, the summer palace of the Mongol ruler and Emperor of China Kublai Khan. Upon waking, Coleridge set about writing the lines of poetry that came to him from the dream until he was interrupted by a person visiting from Porlock. 

The poem could not be completed according to its original 200–300 line plan as the interruption caused Coleridge to forget the lines. Knowing that, I determined that it would not happen with the vision that came to me. A knock at my door (later determined to have been by the condominium's jack-of-all-trades, Manuel) was ignored, and the overview of the vision was on paper. 

Then, I moved to the computer and began fleshing out more of the details that were still fresh, then immediately adding more details that came with a second and third and fourth reading of the script containing the vision. 

At that point, the focus was on recalling and recording concrete details only, reproducing as many specific elements of the vision as possible. There was no clue at all at that point about what the vision meant. There was only a sense that the content had the potential to reveal something significant that I had been trying to understand for years. 

When clarity via the vision began to come, it came not at once but over a period of days and weeks as more and more of the messages contained therein were considered in the silence. Even more understanding came which provided clarity around the "third leg" of "the journey" which is required to be fully realized and therefore fully free. Additional research gave more clarity first to the message of the three birds and then much, much more later on.] 

As with many people, there was already a general understanding of some of the symbolism of the three birds. The raven was known to be associated with the concept of "death" (from Poe's "Raven" and the bird's haunting repetition of "nevermore").

From the term "being gulled," there was a sense that the gull symbolized ignorance . . . an absence of understanding; and the eagle was known for being a sharp and keen and clear observer that could see far more than any average human and that had a sharper focus and more accurate perception than any human or animal on the planet. 

It was already understood that, when on a quest, the eagle can dive at speeds of 125–200 miles per hour. But even after the research, the entire message behind the three birds was not clear. 

The entire "seven-step path" had most certainly not been revealed at that point. So questioning began: 

"Why did a body stay outside the arch?" 

This from the vision was reconsidered: 

Stepping inside, you look over your shoulder to see that your physical body has remained outside the arch. You sense some degree of separation from the material. Then this was asked: 

"What was the body that was walking through trees and across water? Certainly that could not be a physical body." 

So these three parts of the vision were reconsidered: 

When you turn to see where the arch has led, you notice that the spring waters have suddenly multiplied into a slow-moving stream and Trees line either side of the stream, and you begin walking through them toward the sounds of the water crashing below. 

Astonished, you noticed that you are literally walking through the trees and as you near the edge of the cliff, you walk across the top of the water, not becoming wet at all. Then there was the query: 

"What's the deal with the raven, and what is transferred from the body by the fire, and what is the deal with the raven ending and manifesting as a gull; 

and then what is the significance of the gull crashing into an eagle and becoming . . . that?" 

Now, a pause for you to consider. 

Are you understanding something about the message being revealed through the symbolism of the three birds? 

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 their god / their 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.]

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.
