THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE WHICH PROVIDES AN UNDERSTANDING OF "NO YOU-NESS," Part Two

Maharaj explained that what the masses take to be "knowledge" is really nothing more than "learned ignorance." Has the body of learned ignorance grown since the days when he was allowing visitors to enter his loft? Yes. Is the body of learned ignorance spreading more rapidly since the days when he was allowing visitors to enter his loft? Yes.

"Social media" is now spreading more lies than ever before around the globe and is now doing so in a matter of seconds.

It was seen yesterday that millions of non-realized persons now believe that babies / baby souls exist prior to conception.

In the past in most of the so-called "developed nations," students learned early on - via the science lessons taught in botany and biology classes - "how babies are 'made'," and they understood that the process begins with an act of friction involving two humans and a transfer of semen.

Moreover, it was clear that the transfer happens with manifested humans / composite unities now, not prior to manifestation. As much misunderstanding as there has long been regarding such concepts as "birth" and "rebirth," now the nonsense has been expanded because of a dreamed up and widely circulated cockamamie story about "pre-birth" and "pre-existent" babies or infant souls queued up in heaven with God each awaiting to be assigned to a couple on planet earth.

And that is but one of hundreds of thousands of bits of nonsense being bounced about in the ether and settling into the naive minds of the science-and-fact-ignoring masses who cannot differentiate the true from the false.

The result is also the widespread adoption of a commonplace belief that "the 'making' of babies" involves "a spiritual / supernatural ménage-a-trois" with an earthly father, an earthly mother, and a Heavenly Father" or "Creator God or Goddess." 

During the years when this elemental plant food body called "Floyd" was in elementary school and middle school, the content of the curricula in botany and biology classes provided an understanding of the all-natural, no-supernatural parts of the "reproductive process." Things have now changed in some locales. 

In the U.S., as the conservative right has gained more and more influence in politics in Republican-controlled state legislatures, more and more textbooks (and hence schools) are ignoring the reproductive science which was first generally introduced in the fourth grade when I was attending public schools.

The details of the process were covered in more detail in the fifth and sixth grades as children who would soon be entering puberty were given some facts which should have been considered relevant during that upcoming stage of development.

Now, in states where conservatives and evangelicals have a disproportionate level of influence and control over education and curricula, "creationism" is given more emphasis as evolution is being ignored, just as is the case with the "homeschool curricula" which are written by Christian "think tanks." 

In other, more progressive areas, biology lessons are still being taught which continue to include instructing students on the specifics of reproduction as "a characteristic of life." Lesson plans encourage teachers to begin by asking students what is needed in order for a species to survive. 

The point is made that, "in order for an organism to survive, it must at the minimum be able to find nourishment and other items from the environment which can be converted into energy which the organisms can use to perform functions which sustain life." 

Teachers are encouraged to "discuss various ways by which living things may acquire energy and materials, ways such as foraging for food, breathing in oxygen, vitamin absorption through sunlight, etc." 

Then, the three types of asexual reproduction are introduced: 

There are 3 types of asexual reproduction and it is noted that all forms of asexual reproduction use the genetics of one living being, resulting in offspring which will be genetically similar to the parent: 

1. Budding - This process is common in plant species. A "bud" grows on the organism until it has grown enough to become its own independent organism. 

2. Regeneration - Common to invertebrates, this is the process of growing limbs, organs or other tissues to replace damaged ones. 

3. Fission - Also known as binary fission, this is the process of an organism dividing into two separate organisms such as in cellular division. 

Next, sexual reproduction is introduced, explaining that the method requires contributions from a male and female of the species to participate in bringing together a sperm cell and an egg cell in order to trigger the process of the manifestation of a "living being." It is noted that this form of reproduction combines the genetics of two members of the species. 

The non-dualistic explanation begins even prior to the point where the male and female contributors of sperm and eggs existed, beginning with a discussion of a non-confining field of energy and a discussion of "THAT" and "energy-matter" and "one's 'Original Nature'," explained here in this way: 

All in the universe is energy-matter. As for matter, dark matter and ordinary matter are examples of the types of matter. As for energy, there are many types and forms of energy: chemical; nuclear; gravitational; mechanical; potential energy (which refers to any type of stored energy); kinetic; thermal; and both awareness-energy and conscious-energy. 

[RE: gravitational, see "space-time." The gravitational field can have three different types of energy density: dark energy, curvature and gravitational radiation. The point for non-dualists: awareness-energy and conscious-energy are not "special" and cannot make anyone or anything special. Both are just two of many forms of energy, so THAT is nothing special or "Special" or "Supreme" either.] 

Awareness is just a particular form of energy which is not aware of itself unless manifested and will remain so unless the consciousness can be unblocked at some point and can come to an understanding of what I am saying right now. 

Consciousness is manifested awareness which is potentially capable of being conscious-of conscious-energy and conscious-of awareness-energy (which can provide an intimation of that which is immortal or lasting or real). 

Consciousness of conscious-energy and of awareness-energy can only happen during the manifestation and only if all of the obstacles to understanding (which are passed along via programming, conditioning, etc.) are removed. 

Either way, after the manifestation ends, there will once again be no awareness of awareness or of conscious-energy, either. The point: consciousness is nothing more than a particular form of energy, capable of being conscious-of. From that field of energy can come, strictly at random, "manifestations." 

Those include the so-called "male human" and "female human" which contribute sperm and eggs. respectively, during the reproductive process. Various forms of introducing eggs and sperm cells outside of a plant food body, such as in the lab of a reproductive clinic notwithstanding, the more typical process of reproduction is this: 

An egg with conscious-energy and a sperm cell with conscious-energy become united within an elemental plant food body as a result of an act of friction; then, conscious-energy manifests within the resulting space as another elemental plant food body will eventually form. As more and more "food with consciousness" is consumed, more and more plant food elements transform into human cells and another elemental plant food body begins to develop in a womb. 

However, rather than speaking of "male humans" and "female humans," the realized speak of "composite unities." 

[NOTE The way that planet earth evolved and the way that plants evolved and the way that the forms of energy within plants - including conscious-energy - evolved and the way that life forms evolved and the way that plants with various forms of energy (including conscious-energy) can transfer that energy to other entities and pass along cells which transform into other types of cells, is a separate story which has been explained elsewhere on this site. We begin this discussion at the point where the evolutionary process had already rendered "human form" composite unities. The key for now: let it be noted that nothing about the "reproduction process" involves creating anything and only involves the cycling of elements and energy and air.] 

A composite unity triad consists of an elemental plant food body with elements which are ever-cycling and which is temporarily-housing also-ever-cycling conscious-energy within its space and which is circulating air, also ever-cycling into and out of the particular space or body. All of that cycling continues throughout the manifestation. 

[THE NEED FOR REALIZATION, THAT IS, FREEDOM FROM IGNORANCE: the stage is set after the manifestation of another composite unity for natural living, but nowadays, that seldom happens. Once a mind is formed and filled with nonsense via programming, conditioning, etc., then there can be a belief in "a person" and "a person with an identity"; then comes a belief in multiple identities, leading persons to be driven by various agendas or personalities which are often at odds with each other. Unnatural and supernatural living follows. The call is to seek freedom from all of that by seeking and finding truth and returning to a nisarga / natural mode of abidance. 

There are billions of "human-style" composite unities which are walking about the surface of the planet and who take themselves to have any number of personal identities. Most of them worship a deity or deities whom, those persons believe, also have Personal Identities. 

Yet the reality is this: billions mistake the composite unity which they temporarily are for a person - or, more accurately, for many personas - each with a specific set of agendas. For example, "The Husband," in order to continue to "exist" in his own mind, must work ceaselessly to try to assure that the one playing the role of "The Wife" will continue to play that co-dependent counterpart role to his so that he can "continue to be" and can continue to be "The Husband."] 

The key points as far as the "reproductive process" is concerned are these scientifically-based facts which support related non-dual messages: 

**Nothing about the "reproduction process" involves creating anything; instead, it only involves the cycling of elements and energy and air.

**The process among "human-form" composite unities involves an act of friction which can allow a sperm cell and egg cell to unite. 

**As long as all progresses naturally for nine or so months, plant food (or things that ate plants) will be consumed by the female and those plant cells will be converted spontaneously and automatically and naturally into human cells. 

**That cycling of elements will eventually result in another composite unity coming into being. 

**No "creators" are involved and no "Creator" is involved. 

**The reproductive process, if it happens in the typical fashion, will involves two composite unities, two cells uniting, and the formation of another composite unity. 

**"TWO" is the key number here, not "THREE." No third party is involved; that is, here is no "God" involved. The reproductive process is not "a ménage-a-trois process" which brings a god into the mix. There is nothing supernatural or spiritual about the process. It is an all-natural process involving a party of TWO and does not require either the participation of or the guidance of or an intervention by a dreamed-up "THIRD Supernatural Being."

[That said, well over 90% of humans on the planet believe that some god or god-like power is involved "at least in some way" with the conception process in humans; thus, a "kinky, three-party celestial element" has been added to the beliefs regarding the once-only-phenomenal-and-two-person act of conception.]

**Hence, there is nothing special or Special or Supernatural about the all-natural process of "reproduction." 

** And that is "how babies are 'made'" and that is all that is required to "'make' babies" (which, in reality, does not involve "making anything" but simply involves cycling already-existing elements and energy and air). 

Now some ask, "Floyd, do you really think that you have to explain to adults the way to distinguish between "the way that babies are made" and "the way that babies are not made?"

The answer is always, "In terms of the seven-billion-plus non-realized humans on the planet, there is always an all-pervasive need to explain to them the way to differentiate in all instances between the false and the true, and the nonsense which they believe about 'baby-making' is merely one of the countless numbers of instances where they have shown time and again they they cannot distinguish between true and false or between fact and fiction."

The disheartening part around their belief systems is that they reveal that the non-realized are not showing even a fourth-grader's, are not showing even a ten-year-old's, level of understanding while being convinced that they know it all because they believe that all the answers to any and every question is contained in their "holy texts."

And that will get you a series of widespread, nonsensical systems of belief regarding not only "births" but also regarding "virgin births" and also regarding pre-births and also in regards to all of the other near-endless quantities of nonsense as well. 

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.]
