MAHARAJ'S FINAL PLAN: 

REALIZING WITHOUT DOGMA, WITHOUT CONTINUOUS SPIRITUAL PRACTICES, AND WITHOUT A PREOCCUPATION WITH “THE NATURE OF REALITY AND THINGS NOUMENAL"

"The source of bondage is the mind and the beliefs stored therein, especially beliefs about "the future."

[CORONAVIRUS POINTER #8]

Presently in the U.S. there are 

(1) members of groups who have been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "hate groups and homegrown terrorist organizations"

and

(2) individual members of unaffiliated militia groups

all with duality-driven, supposedly freedom-obsessed belief systems who are proudly putting on display 

their racist beliefs

and

their white supremacist attitudes 

and

their neo-Nazi attitudes 

and their actual agenda to

 "overthrow the U.S. Government as we know it."  

They are answering the call to arms tweeted out by Trump to "LIBERATE MINNESOTA," "LIBERATE MICHIGAN," and "LIBERATE VIRGINIA" (all states with Democratic governors he is fighting with over the federal government's non-responsiveness to the pandemic). Thus those armed militia members

are traveling to states where they do not live in order to foment discontent and disorder and chaos and intimidation and to express their support for Trump's re-election in November by joining with protestors who want all pandemic-related restrictions imposed by state governments to be lifted in order "to get the economy rocking again."  

They are using the anger over the restrictions being imposed by states to protect their citizenry to  capture a large audience for their agenda which has nothing to do with the pandemic and has everything to do with advancing the far-right agendas of their groups and the far-right agenda which have been advanced by the federal government during the last three years.

Those armed protestors claim that they available to fight for "freedom from bondage," but the only thing trapping them in a state of bondage is their arrogant-and-controlling-and-domineering mindset which is being generated by the belief that they are better than anyone who is different from them. 

While taking advantage of a national audience viewing them via widespread television coverage,  those supporters of Trump are toting their military-style assault weapons and their Battle Flags of the1860's pro-slavery Confederacy as well as nooses which hearken back to the days when whites all over the U.S. could hang blacks with impunity from a limb of the nearest tree.

The irony is that those who claim to be the most obsessed with freedom are actually the least-free of all. Maharaj offered this caution to explain:

(The dates of coronavirus pointers on this site:

6 May 2020, 14 April 2020, 11 April 2020, 10 April 2020, 7 April 2020, 6 April 2020, 3 April 2020, and 18 March 2020)

 
Now, to continue with today's focus on this:

"The source of bondage is the mind and the beliefs stored therein, especially beliefs about 'the future'."

The suggestion that "realization can happen without religion or spirituality" usually sends site visitors running for the doors (or for their ESC key anyway). Why? 

Some escapist-type humans are forever looking for the easy way out while other obsessive-compulsive humans are looking for the most drawn-out, complicated, complex, convoluted way possible. (Of course personalities are ultimately in control of the non-realized, and of the nine basic personality types, Types Four, Five, Seven and Nine are most into escapism, avoidance, and "other-worldly stuff" rather than dealing with the aspects of a mundane relative existence).

Some are brief and to the point while others are driven by a "just-to-make-a-short-story-long" agenda. (Types One, Two, Three, Six, and Eight are talkers, their agendas driving them to talk in order to impress or reform or find caretakers). 

Some are attached to their "Super Seeker" role and the status that seems to bring. 

But what most have in common is a preoccupation with "the future" and with seeking an eternal payoff rather than abiding in the present Now. 

The irony - and insanity - of that? Consider the imagined possibilities / beliefs: 

A. The belief that resurrections, an afterlife, reincarnations, etc. are possible, meaning elemental plant food bodies can come back together after having come apart and, when they do, they can also have the same mind and the same knowledge pool and the same memory collection and the same identity groups or, 

B. The belief that when the three basic components of any given composite unity - elements, air and conscious-energy - are separated and then go their separate ways and return respectively to the universal pool of elements and the universal pool of air and the universal pool of conscious-energy, that all three can (magically) move their way through those three completely separate and disconnected universal pools and then find their way through those pools - each with trillions upon trillions of parts - and can be rejoined or can (supernaturally) be reunited and put together again by some Power or Force or Overall Controlling Entity or Source. 

So all the king's horses and all the king's men could not put a broken egg like Humpty Dumpty back together again, but those persons who are totally attached to their body and mind and personality identifications want to ignore so obvious a certainty and will suspend all logic when it comes to the desire for eternal continuity and thus believe that - unlike a broken egg - there will be a post-manifested Self which will exist after all of the parts of an earlier-manifested composite unity are put back together in a way close enough to what that unity was like before so that it will be totally recognizable as an earlier self / Self.

The conscious-energy within a small, pea-brained, composite unity called "a bird" flies off if you or I approach because the bird desires eternal continuity, but that's the behavior of a pea-brained bird. Yet almost all humans believe it is normal to behave the same way when they are driven by a belief in "eternal life." Really? 

Tomorrow, an alternate perspective based in facts rather than in beliefs.

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.]
