THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE WHICH PROVIDES
AN UNDERSTANDING OF "NO YOU-NESS"
and
NO CREATION and NO CREATOR or CREATORS

Stephen Law debunks - and anyone truly realized will debunk - a common piece of nonsense which says, "You cannot prove a negative," such as 

"There are no parents who create anything" 

and 

"There is no Creator God who created 'the world'" 

and 

"There has never been anything created or destroyed." 

All those are non-dual pointer which - as Maharaj explained - can be proved to be true by science. 

Stephen Law writes: 

One reason that some people suppose science and reason are incapable of establishing beyond reasonable doubt that certain supernatural claims—for example, that fairies or angels or spirit beings exist—are false, is that they assume you can't prove a negative. Indeed this is widely supposed to be some sort of "law of logic." 

For example, Georgia minister Dr. Nelson L. Price asserts on his website that "one of the laws of logic is that you can't prove a negative." If Price is correct and this is indeed a law of logic, then of course it immediately follows that we can't prove that there are no fairies, no angels, no spirit beings, and, indeed, that there is no god. We will have established that the nonexistence of God is indeed beyond the ability of reason and / or science to establish! 

The fact is, however, that this supposed "law of logic" is no such thing. As Steven D. Hales points out in his paper "You Can Prove a Negative":

"You can't prove a negative" is a principle of folk logic, not actual logic.

A woman that regularly follows this site from Africa and that is following the current series now forwarded a scientific article which she just found which relates to the explanation recently mentioned here regarding "seeds." 

She shared the following from the scientific community: 

"Ancient meteorites that crashed to earth carried ingredients for life, including water and organic compounds," pointing out that space rocks plummeting to earth could have seeded life." 

Seems Maharaj's pointer that science will advance to the place someday where it will substantiate all of the core teachings of non-duality has been validated once more. 

She wrote:

Greetings. I wanted to report to you that I might start my own "science and non-duality" blog and title it, "Letters from the Shithole" in honor of the term the U.S. president used to disparage our entire continent. Ha. P.S. Please don't share my name. I don't want to deal with being targeted by your president and his similarly-ignorant-and-dangerous supporters. 

The reply: Thanks for sharing the relevant article and be aware that "Those living in a shithole will necessarily see shitholes everywhere. Projection rules the masses."

Yet - as noted on this site for more than a dozen years, when persons claim that they live "in the greatest nation on earth - the U.S.," they will be blind to the fact that the World Health Organization ranks the U.S. healthcare system very poorly at "37th overall among all nations"; blind to the facts regarding the mass slaughter of children sitting in classrooms when their schools are invaded by one carrying easily-accessible automatic weapons; 

blind to the way that wealth is reserved for the wealthy only and blind to the effects of that; blind to the killing of millions of indigenous peoples in order to take the land they were living on in order to build their supposedly great nation; blind to their nation's history of invading lands and bombing civilians all around the globe; blind to their entrenched war mentality; blind to their unchecked addiction rates; blind to the fact that they are one of the planet's top environmental polluters; 

blind to the duality-sustaining, extreme hypocrisy which is displayed by so many in the U.S.; and blind to the nations' widespread hatred which is rooted in the nations' dualistic, "different from and therefore better than" beliefs which have long been commonplace among racists and which have always been at the core of much of the nation's populace which has  hated "the other" from the nation's very inception.

As you know, I visited Africa some years back and found that most of the people I interacted with there were delightfully wise and abiding in a land of beauty (though its resources have been plundered for decades by foreign, usually-white, non-African invaders). 

Therefore, responding to you from a much bigger shithole than yours, 

😀

I return your greetings and thank you for the information you shared. 

Peace, Unity, Love, Light, and Sanity. f.

So we see in that scientific information above certain parallels with what has been shared in this series: 

No one has ever "made a baby" or "created a child" (or anything else). The only thing that happens which results in "a child" or "baby" developing in a womb is that elements and oxygen and conscious-energy are being cycled through "the mother" and are further cycling in and out of a form and generating - but not "creating" - another elemental plant food body / space which will temporarily house the conscious-energy and circulate oxygen and elements for a spell. 

But the key point is: it all starts with . . . a seed

Maharaj: "The source of all is all. Whatever flows from it must be there already in seed form. And as a seed is the last of innumerable seeds, and contains the experience and the promise of numberless forests, so does the Unknown contain all that was, or could have been and all that shall or would be." 

He also said, speaking of the "seeds of consciousness":

"The tree is already there in the seed. Such is the 'I Am'." 

The scientific evidence referenced above makes clear that what happens on the level of "a human couple" which can begin a process of "generating something" by the sharing of a seed is also what happened on the level of "this universe" (and all universes): 

"Ancient meteorites that crashed to earth carried ingredients for life, including water and organic compounds." Those space rocks plummeted to earth and "seeded life." 

The First Law of Thermodynamics is a version of the Law of Conservation of Energy, and the Law of Conservation of Energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed. 

In other words, the Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. The same applies to matter. 

Thus, science proves that all merely cycles, so science thereby proves that there is no "creation." Nothing has ever been created. Nothing is being created now. Nothing is being created either here or anywhere else.

 Therefore, there is no Creator. 

A negative has thereby been proved.

The leaders of the ancient pagan religions who dreamed up the concepts of "Creator gods, Sustainer gods, and Destroyer gods" passed their concepts down to modern day religions. 

When Abraham came up with his "one god theory," he rolled all of those three earlier types of gods into one and came up with a schizophrenic god with the Multiple Personality Disorder who supposedly "creates" and might or might not sustain but is believed to be totally capable of getting angry and destroying whatever "He" supposedly created.

The same people who hate women who choose to have an abortion - even if they are pregnant teens who were victims of an incestuous rape or even if they are likely to die if they try to carry a fetus to full term - will gladly report that they nevertheless worship and love unconditionally a god whom they believe is capable of destroying "his own children" or torturing "his children" for eternity.

Their "all life is precious" belief ends when it is their god that is supposedly ending a single life or hundreds of lives at a time or thousands of lives at a time or ending almost all human life on the planet whether he does so by opening holes in the earth that swallow them; even if he allows walls to collapse and kill them;

even if he torches their cities; even if he turns a woman leaving those cities into a pillar of salt because she dared to look in one direction when he told her to look in another direction; and even if he got so angry that he supposedly drowned everyone on planet earth except for the members of the one pre-alerted family able to float about in "an ark" with millions of birds, animals, insects, etc.

Furthermore, science can also prove that those leaders who dreamed up such nonsense had to have been trapped in total ignorance, and the same applies to those who unquestioningly believe the nonsense that those leaders dreamed up thousands of years ago.

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.
