THE DARK TRIAD 

How can one who is constrained or imprisoned ever enjoy a true sense of lightness? One cannot.

Maharaj would eventually shift from (a) suggesting that not being “spiritual” is a key contributor to feeling constrained or imprisoned to (b) pointing out that it is the mind and its content - and the psychological problems which are generated by the content of the mind - which cause persons to become constrained and imprisoned. 

John Milton said in the 1600’s: "The mind . . . in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven” 

and 

Richard Lovelace said, also in the 1600’s, “Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage.” What does? The mind, he said. 

Maharaj said in the 1980’s: " . . . The mind obscures and distorts" 

and 

"It is the mind that creates illusion" 

and 

"There is no such thing as peace of mind. Mind means disturbance. Restlessness itself is mind." 

In CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX of the book The Relative Results of Returning to "The Child Ignorance Stage" or "The Child No-Knowing State" entitled The Constraints of "Somethingness" vs. the Freedom of "Nothingness," this is offered: 

Two final points are being offered for especial consideration: 

A. The entire notion that you have become better, that you have become something really "good" or super religious or super spiritual, that you have really become SOMETHING (and "Something Special"), differs not at all from the same kind of deception and self-deception which plagues the totally "non-realized masses" and which triggers use of the same ego-defense mechanisms (such as egotism and arrogance) which are employed by anyone assuming an ego-state as an identity. 

B. Completion of the entire "journey" to "Full Realization" does not result in egotism and arrogance and narcissism being replaced by (always-false) "humility" or (always-false) "modesty" for those are nothing more than the opposite extreme of the "egotistical vs. humble" duality. The full discussion of "the Reality of 'no concept,' of 'no duality,' of 'no something,' and even of 'no nothing' is provided in the book "From the ABSOLUTE to the NOTHINGNESS," but a few pointers from that work are relevant to these final pointers so they will be shared here for your consideration. 

First, one pointer from that book explains why persons who will stumble across this site and see the topic will usually leave the site posthaste: "Some will feel that their 'true identity' is being minimized and not recognized for the glorious post-manifestation 'SOMETHING' that it is . . . all 'heavenly' and 'celestial' and 'splendid' . . . maybe even 'saintly' or 'godly' or 'cherubic' or 'spiritual' or 'divine' or 'holy' or 'something' which they believe will be 'even above and beyond' all of that." 

Though Maharaj made clear that he had reached a state of "zero concepts" and "no beliefs" and then invited his visitors to do the same, few ever accepted the invitation and completed the entire "journey" required to reach that state. The reason why it is addressed in "Nothingness": 

"Whether your identity is of a phenomenal nature or a noumenal nature in your ‘mind,’ your preoccupation with it is evidence of the fact that you hold in esteem either that which you currently believe you are, or that SOMETHING which you think you shall be forever, or both.

In fact, when a ‘state’ of zero concepts is reached, it is understood that there is no ‘identity’ at all. It is also realized from that ‘state’ that there is nothing deserving any esteem at all, contrary to the tendency among the non-Realized to demand that they be shown ‘the honor they deserve’." 

Then, for those seekers who would reach the “final level” of understanding and who are capable of reaching the zero concepts “state,” this is offered: " 'Absolute,' 'THAT,' 'Brahman,' 'God,' 'energy,' 'energy-matter,' 'Consciousness,' 'Awareness,' and 'SOMETHING' are still man-made labels generated by persons; however, since Awareness is not even aware of awareness (or anything else) what justification can be offered for being 'concerned' with any of those labels, if 'Fully Realized'?" 

Here, the invitation is to abandon unnatural living and to abandon attempts to abide in a "supernatural" fashion (which is always rooted in magical thinking and which always generates even more magical, delusional thinking) and to then abide in a nisarga (natural) fashion. The deer and birds and fish that abide naturally assume no identity, work to maintain no images and no false identities, and care not a whit about "finding out 'Who or What They Truly Are'." 

Only programmed persons need undertake that quest. To abandon the ego and egotism-based preoccupation with both self-focus and Self-focus can allow natural abidance to happen. And such natural abidance happens - and works quite well - for all of the trillions and trillions of life-forms on this planet with only one exception, namely . . .

the seven-billion persons who have been programmed, conditioned, domesticated, acculturated, and taught what is thought to be "knowledge" but which is really nothing more than learned ignorance. 

Once all of those non-facts are assumed to be facts, then the condition of "non-Realized persons / personas" is exactly as described by Sara Gruen in "Water for Elephants": "Then you believe them, and before you know it, they're a part of your history, and if someone challenges you on them and says they're not true -- why, then you get offended." 

Once offended, as happens when a series such as this is read by those who are sure that they are "something" and "Something" and "Something Spiritual," and "Something Different and Special," the "love" they speak of disappears and what is revealed is their capacity to hate, as explained in "Nothingness": 

"They hate hearing that their entire existence is all much ado about nothing. They despise being told that they have been fooled. They hate pointers dealing with purposelessness and meaninglessness. They hate pointers which suggest that all of those times when they made mountains out of molehills were rooted in pure foolishness. 

"They hate the notion of 'nothingness' and thrive on all their concepts that deal with 'somethingness.' They hate hearing that their beliefs and their concepts are fiction. They hate when their dualistic belief in their own eternal reward is exposed as a fraud or when their belief in an eternal punishment for their enemies is debunked. 

"They bristle when it is pointed out that their 'life-long' attempts to defend their various concepts have amounted to nothing more than a waste of breath. They hate to hear that the energy spent in trying to make their views understood and accepted was for naught. They can become livid when it is noted that their actions (which earned applause from the masses who considered those actions to be 'accomplishments') were for nil. 

"They despise the pointer that no one has ever 'made the world a better place' as a result of any action. They are offended when it is suggested that the naming of streets after them, that the building of statues in their honor, and that the construction of libraries built to house evidence of their 'achievements' amounts to just so much rubbish. They reject any suggestion that the desire to extend in perpetuity the memory of them and their 'identity' is mere tripe." 

So it is, but so it need not be. 

Nothing said by "floyd" or by Floyd can offend you. Nothing said by anyone can offend You. The only thing that can believe that it has been offended is the false-you . . . the not-You . . . the false-you's. Which part of the composite unity triad of air / earth elements / temporarily-manifested-conscious-energy could any words possibly offend? No part. What can erroneously perceive what seems to be offensive? Only the false identities which are housed in the fiction-filled "mind." 

The antidote to offense and hatred? A complete purging of all of the false beliefs and bogus concepts that have been accumulated, followed by abidance as the no-concept, no-idea, zero beliefs, no-programming, no-conditioning, no-identity, nothingness-understanding, non-dual reality.

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.]

THE DARK TRIAD 

To review:

How the dark triad traits generate . . . 

(1) ignorance, insanity, a sense of victimhood, and the act of mistaking “the dark traits” as virtues, thus leading persons who are unawake, unaware, and unconscious to take the false for the true and to have totally distorted perceptions 

and also generates . . . (2) duality. 

Today, #1 will be discussed. Tomorrow #2 will be discussed. 

Various cultures and nations have identified a variety of “ages” in their history. Thousands of such labels exist in order to facilitate a discussion of the various and varying aspects of cultures.

For example, during a particular “age,” were the citizens of a certain culture or nation “advancing” or “regressing” in terms of their interactions with each other; in terms of their educational levels; in terms of their scientific awarenesses; and in terms of their state of peace or war with each other or with neighboring nations?

Were alliances being strengthened or broken? Was their society behaving in a more or less civil manner than during previous ages? Were people more or less trapped in their culture’s dogma? Were the rights of the people expanding or being stripped away?

What form of government were they using? Were those in charge of government, business, and religion more democratic or more authoritarian and / or dictatorial? Were the basic needs of the populous being met in terms of income and housing and availability of food so that the society could focus on reading and advancement of awareness of certain aspects of human development involves with what is beyond meeting the basics?

Was separation by class and income more or less rigid than during previous ages? Were present generations suffering more or less than their ancestors? Was the average manifestation or “lifespan” increasing in length or decreasing? Were levels of cleanliness advanced enough to avoid widespread deaths by sickness and plagues or were the masses at that time more susceptible to illness than previous generations?

Were standards in place to protect the common people against corrupt government and business and religious leaders or not? Were leaders being held accountable or allowed to abuse their positions of authority?

If one has studied history and what the relative existence was like throughout the various “ages,” one is aware that all of the traits of cultures and nations referenced above are forever in a state of flux.

During my many trips to Amsterdam, I usually stayed in a hotel near Dam Square. Upon leaving any of the hotels in that area, if people exit the square and walk toward Amsterdam Centraal train station, they will come to where one canal has a bridge near the station.

On the side of that bridge above the waters of the canal, this large sign was always there:

Almost every generation throughout all of the “ages” have faced the task of standing up against the oppression and abuse of power which occurs time and again in most cultures or nations, and as I pointed out in the book The Board of Directors of Wars,

(1) oppression and abuse of power will always come

and

(2) oppression and abuse have historically come most often from one or more of these sources: big government, big business, and / or big religion (reinforced, as Maharaj pointed out, when there is a culture wide presence of big levels of ignorance, big levels of stupidity, and big levels of insanity).

The "ages labels" allow history professors and history students to have a common ground which allows an understanding of what was happening during a particular period and to see how certain events during certain ages “fit” into the flow of human activity and how the pendulum has been forever swinging between

(a) ages of ignorance vs. ages of awakening and enlightenment

and between

(b) ages of mass darkness vs. the light.

In the historical records of events on planet earth, some among the many “age labels” have included . . . 

The Stone Age

The Bronze Age

The Iron Age

The Dark Ages

The Renaissance

The Age of Discovery

The Age of Enlightenment

The Atomic Age

The Space Age

The Information Age

and hundreds of others.

Moreover, throughout all of those, ever since the first instance of programming and conditioning and domestication and acculturation and indoctrination and brainwashing occurred, an Age of Duality has usually manifested in tandem with the others.

The “Dualistic Ages” or “Binary Ages” or “Base-2 Ages” or “Bilateral Ages” or “Divided Ages” or “Two vs. Not-Two Ages” can to some degree account for the presence of a population which suffers from warped-perspective-driven instability, as Yeshu’a (a.k.a., “Jesus”) noted some 2000 years ago when observing his culture and concluding:

“A dual-minded person is unstable in all ways.”

An irony is that in a society in which 90% or more of the people are trapped in duality-based belief systems, there might be slightly less chaos if an entire population is trapped in a state of “near-totally-widespread duality” than if there a near-exact balance of totally asleep citizens abiding alongside their somewhat awake counterparts.

In Florence, Italy, during the “Bonfire of the Vanities” days, the number among the 50% who were religious, science-hating fanatics increased enough to tip the scale and generate total chaos; they made sure that the somewhat awake would suffer miserably. When enough awakened enough to be able to see the misery and understand its source, then the pendulum reversed and the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola and the other leaders of the fanatics were eliminated and the means by which the Italian Renaissance could continue was back in place.

The result: the stage was set for the continuation of the earlier renewal or “rebirth” of interest in the humanities and in the arts and science and medicine and facts over fiction.

Of course that would be interrupted again. The point is, there is a “history-tracking pendulum” which is forever swinging, but - as Dr. King said - "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

[What might the term “moral universe” mean to “non-dualists”? The closest that the understanding could point to during the relative existence would be with the term “the pure, universal consciousness.” For example, in the case of a finally-realized Maharaj, there was no “person” or “man” or “teacher” who was speaking; 

what was speaking (through that space housing the temporarily-manifested, finally-unblocked conscious energy which was free of the mind and all beliefs) was “the pure universal consciousness.” 

As for “justice,” that word is pointing toward "truth" with an invitation to stop believing lies, including lies about white supremacy, lies about what the masses should fear, lies about some having the right to shoot others, lies about some being better than others, (all of which is based arbitrarily on sexual preferences, on one’s economic state, on the color of one’s skin, and on any and all beliefs including those about being better than “the other” and better than “them.” Lies, lies, lies.]

No matter how much BS presidents or senators or representatives or governors or mayors or other governmental leaders put out, and no matter how much BS business leaders put out to get money from the masses, and no matter how much BS religious leaders put out to get money from the masses, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

That is, the acceptance of what is revealed via the pure universal consciousness will often be rejected, but the movement historically has often been observed to eventually bend toward truth. Does that last? Never.

The task of overcoming ignorance and rejecting all belief in learned ignorance is never-ending. As mentioned last week to a fellow in New York who has long been driven by “The Super Knower” identity, rock and roll, but what is offered here is not about accumulating more knowledge (a.k.a., learned ignorance) but is an offering to unteach so one might unlearn all of the nonsense which has been taught and stored in the mind and which is now being prized so highly.

As for the U.S. presently, it finds itself in that chaos-and-instability-and-conflict-generating state of a near-exact balance of totally asleep citizens abiding alongside their somewhat awake counterparts. That leaves this:

50% Republicans vs. 50% Democrats.

50% who are blindly pro-authoritarian vs. 50% who do not support any leader who displays dictatorial tendencies and behaviors.

Thus, there are . . .

50% who approve of an authoritarian / dictatorial leader

vs.

50% who would preserve democracy while knowing that changes are needed in that form of government as well.

And among the 50% who prefer authority and authoritarians there are therefore 50% who believe that the authorities - the police - are above reproach

and

50% who believe they need to be held accountable for unjustified killings.

And this breakdown as well:

50% who believe that the military and the police are as deserving of the blind, unquestioning faith which that same 50% give to their “god”

vs.

those who are aware that the military and the police for at least fifty years have been infiltrated by the KKK and are aware that for the last twenty years - while more and more police departments are taking on a paramilitary aspect and character and style and personality - have been infiltrated by . . .

white supremacists,

neo-nazis,

gang members and members of outlaw motorcycle gangs,

members of many violence-advocating far-right militias,

members of a variety of vigilante groups,

and, more and more,

members of “the Three Percenters group” which has been linked to multiple right-wing terror plots in recent years which involved those who are also members of police departments.

[Published three days ago and run in newspapers nationwide: “A former FBI agent has documented links between serving officers and racist militant activities in more than a dozen states” especially including Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia. 

Meanwhile, many claim that the way to address the problem of having a proliferation of trigger-happy officers in police departments is simply to “offer them some re-training and sensitivity-training.” Really? As if that will address and eliminate the prejudice and hatred at their very core which is driving them to want to kill non-whites and then act on that desire, so far with near-100% immunity? Really? There is no kind of training which will address the presence of The Dark Triad traits and bring to end the way that they control the thoughts and beliefs and words and actions of those who have the Dark Triad traits.]

A study of past “ages” reveals that when a near-exact fifty-fifty balance of totally asleep citizens abides alongside their somewhat awake counterparts, the stage is set for generating chaos-and-instability-and-conflict. Thus the non-dual understanding is being called for as much now as ever, yet typically, few have ever heard the call, no matter what age they might have lived in.

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.]
