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

THE VISION

[What is being quoted (in green) are the revelations that were emanating from the inner resource - that is, via the pure consciousness . . . the inner guru - as the final blockages were falling away and allowing access to that which had always been known, within.]

To review:

LEG ONE - the "coming in," the manifesting 

LEG TWO = the "going back" (the shifting away from identifications and going back and witnessing purely the original state, as happens via moving along the Seven Step "Path" and as illustrated in "The Vision")

LEG THREE = the "coming back" to the relative existence, to the IS-ness, but this time without the programming, conditioning, etc. which happened during LEG ONE 

LEG FOUR = taking mahasamadhi, the final unmanifesting of "floyd," of "you," of all composite unities eventually.

[Continued from earlier] 

The point regarding the "legs": every human will undergo LEG ONE and LEG FOUR.

The realized will undergo LEGS ONE, TWO and THREE and then eventually LEG FOUR. 

Ultimately, therefore, none of "this" matters "in the end" because all "ends up the same." See? No difference. 

"So why realize at all, then?" some ask. "Why even undergo LEGS TWO and THREE?" 

The answer: because that can result a difference NOW, the difference being a post-LEG TWO and post-LEG THREE relative existence that is no longer marked and marred by what Maharaj called "ignorance, stupidity, insanity" and / or by excessive, unmet desires and excessive fears and / or instability and chaos.

[Yeshu'a, a.k.a. "Jesus" to the illiterate, said after he had been exposed to the non-dual understanding, "A dual-minded person is unstable in all ways." It could have been added . . . "and the relative existence of unstable people will be marked by chaos and misery and suffering throughout the entire relative existence."]

Instead, what marks the remainder of the relative existence among those freed from being driven unconsciously by ignorance and insanity can be wisdom, reason, logic, sanity and Love. That and that alone is the only grounds for seeking realization and for then overlaying it on the relative. 

So that's much of what came via a study of the content of the vision. What was also seen were "The Degrees of Separation from Reality" which result when the "coming in" process is exposed to programming, conditioning, acculturation, domestication, indoctrination, and brainwashing. 

Moreover, what was seen were the exact steps - steps which must be completed in an exact manner - in order to follow Maharaj's advice in this regard, namely: 

“. . .You should go back, reverse, to the source" 

and 

“Follow the same path by which you came.” 

Finally, once the understanding of the functioning of the totality came, then all sorts of others parts of the teachings that I had been exposed to - but which I did not grasp either fully or at all - suddenly made sense. Looking back over some of those parts, this was seen in regards to those: 

MOKSHA 

Moving through the dome and returning to an energy-only form which maintained the capacity to understand long enough to see the functioning of the totality before final dissolution made clear what "moksha" - the emancipation and liberation - was all about: there was no sense of personhood remaining, no sense of self, no sense of Self, no sense of any worldly existence or post-worldly existence remaining. After the subsequent post-Realization third leg "return" to reality, the relative existence (which is then seen for what it really is and as it truly is) was also marked by that same freedom and liberation, unfolding spontaneously now with no sense of personhood remaining, no sense of self, no sense of Self, no sense of any worldly or other-worldly existence remaining. 

SAMSKARA 

The second (mental) step in the vision made clear that memories, samskaras, are totally fictional. 

NIRGUNA 

After the "going back" via the vision and then "the coming back" via the third leg, the ability to function as that which is no longer conditioned ("The Unconditioned") was not just understood. It has manifested fully, alongside "The No Longer Programmed," "The No Longer Domesticated," "The No Longer Acculturated," "The No Longer Indoctrinated," "The No Longer Brainwashed," "The No Longer Personal," and "The No Longer Identifiable With Any Words"; thus: 

Lao Tzu: "The Tao which can be expressed in words is not the eternal Tao; the name which can be uttered is not its eternal name." Bingo, Lao. 

VYAKTA

The "unmanifested" was finally understood and has since been explained here in this manner: Unmanifesting is the movement of consciousness (which was temporarily manifested into a space) back into that "field of conscious-energy" from which it came. Some speak of three bodies to help students picture the movement. Consider the gross body to be the space housing manifested consciousness that remained outside the arch in the vision; take the subtle body to represent something shifting beyond the personal, gross body in the cave; and take the causal body evolving into the light to correspond to the transpersonal stage that precedes total transcendence to the Unmanifest . . . to the no-body and no-mind Reality. In Eastern teachings, the causal body is often considered to be the vehicle used to reach the "higher plane." Some speak of phenomenal and noumenal (i.e., that which is understood without the use of the basic senses). 

DEHA 

Deha was understood as the physical body which was left outside the arch during the "going back" stage and which the conscious-energy "re-enters" in its re-purified form after the third leg is completed and after Reality is overlaid on the relative; then, the body-cum-pure-unblocked-consciousness moves throughout the remainder of the manifestation with the absence of ignorance, stupidity and insanity and with the presence of a pure sense of presence, of logic, of reason, of understanding. 

NETI-NETI 

The vision made clear through its various stages of dissolution that there is nothing that can be accurately said to be either "this" or "that." Like someone who had been senselessly dragging along a bag of rocks all of his or her life, each step on "the path" allows for the discarding of part of that extra, needless weight - the discarding of another weighty belief, of another weighty role being played - until eventually there were no more questions remaining about "Am I the self or the Self?" or "Am I ultimately some Supreme Self or not?" 

All such questions were done with, ending with the understanding of "Neti-Neti" and all the rest of what was revealed via the vision.

From yesterday: 

Finally, once the understanding of the functioning of the totality came, then all sorts of others parts of the teachings that I had been exposed to - but which I did not grasp either fully or at all - suddenly made sense. 

Some of those parts included: MOKSHA, SAMSKARA, NIRGUNA, VYAKTA, DEHA and NETI-NETI. All such questions were done with, ending with the understanding of "Neti-Neti" and all the rest of what was revealed via the vision. 

To continue: 

THE THREE PARTS OF ANTAHKARANA 

It was seen that intellect (the capacity to understand) was a necessity; it was understood that "the mind" (the mental body moving through the arch and into the forest) is fictional . . . nothing more than a dream with its movement through trees and across water; and it was understood that belief in ego - in the false "I" and in all of the false non-Selves that were played out in the vision before the Pure Witnessing came into consciousness of itself - had to go. And it was seen that one of the last vestiges of ego was represented by the raven - the one carrying about a sense of being "spiritual" - though "The Seeker" role had to be played for a while longer even after the "Super Religious One" or the "Spiritual Giant" role was discarded. 

MAHA-SATTVA 

The harmonious existence that comes after completing "the journey" to full Realization - which eliminates all fear and provides courage in its place - became understood. Indeed, "The Supreme Harmony" seemed as appropriate a way to describe that post-Realization existence as there is. 

AVATARA 

 It was seen - after seeing the vision reversed - how the incarnation of Awareness happens, how it "descends" into a manifest form that is a composite unity ... a triad of an elemental plant food body with air and temporarily manifested consciousness that can - via Realization - become aware of Awareness and its Original Nature. 

NIRVANA 

The events that are to come someday - and that were previewed in the cave and the dome and beyond - made clear all that is involved with "the final dissolution." And as noted, what was also made clear was that "the final dissolution" will be just fine when it comes. Having "pre-experienced" the final dissolution on LEG TWO, it loses among the Realized all of it power to instill fear and concern and worry (which is exactly what it does among the non-Realized masses when they consider "dissolution" or "death" and the potential for subsequent, eternal "punishment" or near-endless "re-cycling"). 

PRAKRITI 

My Original Nature and Your Original Nature became understood fully. That "cosmic substance" that is merely a specialized form of energy became understood, and the uncaused, not-caused, "no Creator-caused" cause of the phenomenal existence became clear as well. 

ATMA / ATMAN 

 It was seen that there is no self or Self or eternal self-ness or Self-ness when it was seen that the eagle - which eventually dissolves - represented what might be referred to for the sake of discussion only as "The True Self" or "The Real Self" and that those merely refer to Pure Witnessing.

Any "Pure Witnessing" which can happen

(a) can only happen NOW

and

(b) can only happen if one is tapping into the pure universal consciousness

(which can only happen if all of the blockages which had previously prevented the clear and accurate functioning of the consciousness - blockages which were set in place via ignorant and insane programming, conditioning, etc. - have been removed via the realization process and have been discarded.

What exactly must be discarded? All beliefs which are nothing more than the accumulated "learned ignorance" which is stored in the mind and which drives the thoughts and words and actions of the non-realized masses.

That is as close to anything like a "present self" that there is, and that Pure Witnessing can only be manifested during the relative existence.

Additionally, there came an understanding of much, much more, and those other "parts" are shared and discussed in detail in the thousands of free posts on this non-dual website and in the topic-specific eBooks available below.

Most of the other understandings will be discussed in this series in upcoming posts.

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.]
