THE ADDITIONAL, VERY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES WHICH CAME VIA THE VISION
[Update on how rapidly two earth-wide plagues are spreading. Those two: Covid-19 and the duality-based
Ultimate Sickness.There is a direct link to the two illnesses, namely the way that (per Maharaj) “ignorance,
stupidity, and insanity” are driving the spread of both.
Much legitimate attention - relatively speaking - is being paid to the way that immaturity and neglect and ignorance are driving the thoughts and words and actions of nearly half of the citizens here in the U.S. as well as citizens all around the globe, thus accelerating the spread of the coronavirus. The result:
As of today, the total number of reported cases in the U.S. is approaching 13 million as over 100,000 new cases are being reported each day and as the number of deaths will soon reach 300,000 as one person in the U.S. dies from the illness every minute.
Additionally, estimates in a study by Boston University are that the true numbers are at least 36% higher than what is being reported to the public at any given time. Others are estimating the difference to be much higher. More alarming than those numbers is that fact that it need not have been this way.
Even more alarming than those numbers, however, is the fact that of the 331 million humans abiding in the U.S., more than 330,000,000 (per Maharaj’s estimate / guesstimate tool which he passed down) are suffering from the Ultimate Sickness and are being totally misdiagnosed and are totally unaware of just how sick they are and what their actual Sickness actually is.
And of the 7.8 billion abiding on planet earth (again per Maharaj’s estimate / guesstimate tool which he passed down) far more than 7.7 billion are also suffering in the throes of the Sickness.]
Most will never seek healing from the Sickness because they have never heard of the Sickness. Among those who do seek for a way to be free of their Sickness-generated misery and suffering, many will seek in religious and / or so-called “spiritual” venues, both of which Maharaj came to understand were offering totally ineffective solutions for what ails the masses.
If one’s problem centers in the mind, which Maharaj eventually came to understand, then any method trying to repair “the soul” or “the sick spirit” or “a spiritual malady") will have 0.00% efficacy.
If the problems associated with the Sickness center in the mind, which they do, then neither dogma nor “spiritual principles” can have an effect (except to actually exacerbate the problems by offering placebos rather than the real, Ultimate Medicine).
Moreover, if the problems associated
with the Sickness center in the mind, which they do, then what is called for is
a means by which perspectives can be purged of their mind-centered roots of “ignorance,
stupidity, and insanity” (per Maharaj) and can then function for the remainder of the manifestation by awareness, wisdom, and sanity instead.
To that end, the discussion of the additional, very different perspectives which came via the vision will continue.
Elements of the vision continued to flash into consciousness for months after it initially came. The flashes almost always happened when in a theta state, dozing off or coming out of a deep, delta-level sleep. It was early on during some of those episodes that a backwards or reversed version of the vision began to play out.
It became clear that after "going back the way I came in" from the Absolute on Leg Two of "the journey," I was now "going back" to the relative the way I had "come in" the first time when the consciousness was subjected to all of the insane programming and conditioning and acculturation and domestication and brainwashing and indoctrination that now happens to all persons.
Yet it was clear that going back to the relative on the Third Leg was different because I was no longer being subjected to programming, conditioning, etc.
The vision made clear that on the third leg, the unblocked consciousness that now knew and understood the Awareness (which was now aware of itself - aware of Its Original Nature which is my Original Nature) would not be anything like the specks of consciousness which had been blocked and which led to a miserable relative existence.
It was clear that (a) things were going to be different from the way they had been prior to completing the seven steps to reality and that (b) "Reality" (the absence of "learned ignorance") was going to be overlaid on the relative so that whatever happened would happen spontaneously and would happen as naturally and sanely and reasonably and logically as the relative existence of every living thing of the planet except for the non-realized (still-trapped-in-ignorance) human masses.
Suddenly, a phrase that had only seemed to be understood took on a whole new level of meaning, namely, "as if living."
It was seen after the vision that "as if living" is a style of living that the Realized exhibit, seemingly living just like most live but without personal attachments, delusions, and emotional intoxication.
The vision made clear that it is the manner in which the Realized "finish out" the manifestation, meeting “responsibilities” and providing for the space (for the composite unity consisting of an elemental plant food body with air being circulated and with conscious-energy also being circulated) while knowing full well that what is called "this world" is nothing more than an imagining in the distorted perceptions of persons.
It was seen that "as if living" consist of a lifestyle that is unencumbered with attachments and emotional intoxication and belief in the lies of the culture; a lifestyle free of game playing and image perpetuation; and a lifestyle unmarred by the emotions and emotional intoxication experienced by persons.
It was seen that as if living makes possible a lifestyle during which those freed of learned ignorance can witness feelings rise and fall without experiencing any emotional intoxication and without reacting, over-reacting, or setting off a chain of reactions (as happens with persons).
The vision made clear that as if living was going to provide a lifestyle free of the misery that is generated by the desires and fears of personas.
During the part of the vision in the cave when this came To your left and to your right drift millions of forms, and on closer inspection, You see that they are . . . you! Each looks to be a - clone maybe a transparent clone but a clone nevertheless - of you! thus making it possible to finally understand a non-religious, non-spiritual meaning of "atonement."
The vision made clear that it could more rightly be spelled, "at-one-ment."
The vision made clear that atonement had nothing to do with "a reconciliation between humans and an imagined external power" (now seen to have been delusionally conceived by men and bearing the image of men and - in some cases - women and monkeys and elephants, etc.)
What came via the vision instead was a full awareness . . . of the at-one-ment, of the Oneness, of the unicity, and of the true unity beyond the misperceived multiplicity.
The difference in "love" and Love was made clear.
That moment in the cave made clear that, indeed, Love is knowing that I am everything.
The dissolution of every one of the symbolic birds along the way in conjunction with the final dissolution at the end of the vision made clear that "wisdom is knowing I am nothing."
And it became perfectly clear as the Third Leg of "the journey" unfolded that, indeed, it would be between the two - between Love and Wisdom - that the remainder of my life (that is, the remainder of the relative existence) would move.
Part of the days and weeks after the vision first came were spent in silent contemplation, and during those periods of silence, more and more became clear. One morning, "beginninglessness" came into consciousness and was understood immediately because the vision had already brought a reminder of the lesson taught in 4th grade science, namely, that "nothing is created and nothing is destroyed - all merely cycles." ]
Then this came:
Whether the particles involved with the formation of "this universe" had "escaped from" or moved beyond the confines of an existing universe and manifested in an area that would be called "our universe" is not relevant.
What became clear was the high level of ignorance at the root of centuries of religion-based theories about "creation" and "this world" and dogmatic arguments about who is supposed to "have dominion over it" (still on-going even today) and at the root of their arguments about whether or not everything revolves around the earth which was believed to be at the center of everything (a belief which was also based in xenophobic arrogance).
It became clear that if all cycles - which all does - then so must universes cycle as well.
Then the words of Maharaj were recalled:
"Entire universes are imploding and exploding every moment . . . "
and
". . . universes come and go . . . ."
(And that from a fellow who had no "formal education." Ha.)

THE EXPLANATION
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"
and
"Heaven and earth shall fade away."
and
"Heaven and hell are not geographic places
"There is no hell."
