THE NON-DUALITY MESSAGE OFFERED IN
NON-FICTION
Ralph Klein
A short-term 'goal' is for persons “to understand that they are not the way they appear to be.”
[Eliminating personality and addressing the accompanying disorders] “involves a mourning . . . for the loss of the illusion . . . for the loss of an identity, the false self, which the person constructed and with which he or she has negotiated much of his or her life. The dismantling of the false self requires a relinquishing of the only way of being that the [person] has ever known . . . . ”
Physicist Barbara McClintock
"Basically, everything is one."
Physicist Erwin Schrodinger
"Quantum physics thus revels a basic oneness of the universe."
Physicist Fritjof Capra
“Quantum theory thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. It shows that we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smallest units. As we penetrate into matter, nature does not show us any isolated "building blocks," but rather appears as a complicated web of relations between the various parts of the whole. These relations always include the observer in an essential way. The human observer constitute the final link in the chain of observational processes, and the properties of any atomic object can be understood only in terms of the object's interaction with the observer.”
Physicist Niels Bohr
"Isolated material particles are abstractions."
Physicist David Bohm
"The new form of insight can perhaps best be called Undivided Wholeness in Flowing Movement (or, 'holomovement')."
"In this movement, there is NO THING. Rather, things are abstracted out of the movement in our perception and thought, and any such abstraction fits the real movement only up to a point, and without limits. Some ‘things’ may last for a very long time and be fairly stable, while others are ephemeral as the shapes abstracted in perceptions of clouds."
"The best image of process is perhaps that of the flowing stream, whose substance is never the same. On this stream, one may see an ever-changing pattern of vortices, ripples, waves, splashes, etc, which evidently have no independent existence as such. Rather, they are abstracted from the flowing movement, arising and vanishing in the total process of the flow."
“ . . . To emphasize undivided wholeness, we shall say that what ‘carries’ an implicate order is the holomovement, which is an unbroken and undivided totality. In certain cases, we can abstract particular aspects of the holomovement (e.g., light, electrons, sound, etc), but more generally, all forms of the holomovement merge and are inseparable. Thus, in its totality, the holomovement is not limited in any specifiable way at all. It is not required to conform to any particular order, or to be bounded by any particular measure. Thus, the holomovement is undefinable and immeasurable."
" . . . Mind and matter are abstractions from the universal flux."
"Instead of saying, ‘An observer looks at an object’, we can more appropriately say, ‘Observation is going on, in an undivided movement'."
The observation going on is "involving those abstractions customarily called 'the human being' and “the object he is looking at'.”
Marvin Kaye
“The expert magician seeks to deceive the mind, rather than the eye.”
S.H. Sharp
“To be a great magician, one must be able to present an illusion in such a way that people are not only puzzled but are deeply moved.”
"Griffin"
"It is only very recently in the millions of years of human history that
the break from nature has become so complete. Each one of us is a wild animal
suffering. Conditioning makes us dependent and weak, but we still yearn for the
freedom of wildness and the deep satisfaction of living out our feral destinies
as a part of the community of life."
"How to heal from our self-perpetuated domestication: relearn the life
skills that allow us to shed our dependence on civilization and put new trust
in the Land to provide for us;
"release our addictions to the many activities and substances that make
civilized life bearable; relearn how to live with others; reawaken our
atrophied senses and experience the full lushness of life; see the damage from
the trauma of domestication; then live in balance."
"It takes years of socializing to subdue the power and beauty of a child’s
primal instincts. This process is reversible. It is possible to become feral by
overcoming the numbness of the civilized condition."
Paul Krassner
" . . . Life on earth was the result of inconceivable coincidence rather than conscious design."
" . . . My own conception was the result of inconceivable coincidence."
Ken Kesey
"My energy is what I do. My image is what other people think I do."
Native America Wisdom
"If
in doubt, be still and wait."
"That which is inhaling and exhaling is an illusion; truth can only be
found in the empty space of the absolute quiet and the empty moments in
between."
"Peace can only be found in the silence; once found, it can remain under
any conditions."
"It is possible to be alone and truly like the company kept in the empty moments."
"Only excursions into that which is natural can reveal truth."
"Even the seasons form a great circle, but they always come back again to where they were."
"The life of a human is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where energy moves."
"There is no birth. There is no death. There is no creation. There is no destruction. There are only the cyclings of elements, air, and energy; there is no body-mind-personality continuity."
"Harmony with all things is possible, but it cannot manifest in the presence of inner turmoil or in the absence of full realization."
"I saw more than I can tell, and I understood more than I saw, for I was seeing the shape of all shapes living in harmony as one."
"We are but one thread."
"Peace comes from within when oneness with the universe is realized."
"It was seen that power need not be sought except for the strength
required to fight the greatest enemy—self."
"It was seen that when self has been eliminated, no more power or strength
is required."
"It came to be known that another can be disappointed if that is required
in order to be free of dual-mindedness and to be [authentic]."
"It was seen that, to be trustworthy, one must first be faithless."
"I
want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the
company you keep in the empty moments."
"Earth, teach me humility. Earth, teach me to forget myself."
"We are but one."
“Walk in balance."
"Above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace which is within.”
“It appears that where marriage is solemnized by the church and blessed by the priest, it may at the same time be surrounded with customs and ideas of a frivolous, superficial, and even prurient character. Love between a man and a woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self-seeking.”
“I want to know if you can disappoint another [in order to be true and authentic], if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own [integrity].”

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."
teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium.
