A REVIEW AND SUMMATION OF THE KEY UNDERSTANDINGS WHICH CAME VIA THE VISION AND WHICH WERE REQUIRED FOR FULL REALIZATION

To continue with the discussion of not only how to realize but also what to realize as well:

[In green text are the considerations which came during the weeks and months following the coming of the vision and the points which arose from the pure universal consciousness when contemplating the messages in the vision and which settled into full awareness. Some might identify those as considerations which can and will come from within - from the "inner guru" or the "inner resource" - but only if all of the "garbage beliefs" which block tapping into the "inner guru" or the "inner resource" are discarded. In gold text are quotes from Maharaj.]

Other clarifications that came via the vision follow. 

181. It showed that - if seekers are willing to see that there is far more to the "journey" than replacing old "bad" roles with new "good" roles - then they have a chance to move on along the "path," complete all of the steps, and see that all of the nonsense they had been taught is wiped out completely when an understanding of the functioning of the totality comes. 

182. It is the vision that can reveal the manner in which the totality functions: 

183. "Functioning" refers to how all in this universe actually operates and how it has always operated and how all that is or was in all universes has functioned and is functioning and will always function. 

184. "Totality" refers to every happening that has ever happened, that is presently happening, and that will eventually happen, infinitely. 

185. Upon the manifestation of full realization which the vision can bring about, the complete understanding comes of how all has happened and how all happens and how all will forever happen. How inclusive is that understanding?

Among all that is understood are the following: 

*** How this universe and all prior universes came to be (even as nothing has ever been created and even as, therefore, there could not have been a "creator" or "Creator);

*** Why, therefore, no external Power or God or Goddesses or "Creator" can exist and how that can be proved scientifically; 

*** How consciousness manifests in a space or form; 

*** Where you were in the days and weeks prior to "conception"; 

*** Where you were prior to consciousness and manifestation; 

*** What is relative and What Is Absolute;

*** Why no truth can be found except within, but why a "guide" is required to reveal all of the non-truths which have been believed and / or which are still being believed, and to assist any seeker searching for truth; 

*** Why you were never born and cannot die; 

*** Why, post-manifestation, there will be no eternal form or body or "you"; 

*** Why all notions of "who-ness" are false: 

*** Why notions about a "Supreme Self" are dualistic, all talk about Oneness notwithstanding; 

*** Why neither eternal reward nor punishment awaits; 

*** Why abiding unnaturally and / or supernaturally is insane and why only natural living is sane; 

*** Why Reality is non-dual; 

*** How persons come to believe that they are in the world instead of understanding that "the world" is in them . . . in their "minds"; 

*** Why "memories" about things relative have no validity; 

*** What the difference is between awareness and consciousness; 

*** Why only "the nothingness" is valid, ultimately; 

*** The difference between "love" and "Real Love"; 

*** How to find Real Love in "an unreal world"; 

*** Why most persons fear independence and actually do not prefer it at all over their dependencies and their co-dependencies; 

*** Why there is nothing that is personal; 

*** What "Your Original Nature" is; 

*** How to move through the relative existence as if dancing lightly; 

*** Why dual-minded persons are unstable in all ways; 

*** Why all things relative are much ado about nothing; 

*** How Reality can be overlaid on the relative; 

*** Why I AM THAT and I AM are not two.

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.]
