WHY MAHARAJ ABANDONED RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL VERSIONS OF THE ULTIMATE MEDICINE AND TURNED HIS FOCUS TO PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALING INSTEAD
THE MIND’S MOVING VANS:
Dissociation, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Escapism, Avoidance, Evasion, Averting, et. al.
Early humans differed little from other “living things”:
1. All were driven by one of the key agendas of the manifested consciousness, namely, automatically desiring the continuity of that consciousness.
2. They were all also driven by other basic instincts such as the drives to satisfy thirst, hunger, and sex.
3. They would all be driven to one degree or another by the drive to bond
4. And all, humans as well as all other living things, shared another trait in common: they functioned under the auspices of the natural brain rather than the originally useful mind because early on they had no mind.
In the case of the no-mind humans (or human-like beings) the brain was about the size of a standard coffee cup nowadays. As humankind evolved, the brain would ultimately reach its current adult size and 3-1/2 cups.
That expansion allowed for the develop of some “new parts” to the brain, specifically, the parts that could, in a computer-like fashion, store data / facts / evidence / truthful information and then retrieve any of that at some future point.
If a member of their community fell from a cliff and died on the rocks below, witnesses in the community could see the cause and effect at place, stored the cause of that death, and avoid the edge of cliffs in the future.
The “use” of the mind mentioned above was to assist with the perpetuation of the species. The mind developed a conscious desire for the continuity of consciousness as opposed to the earlier instinctive, subconscious or unconscious desire for the continuity of the consciousness.
At that point, the mind could have been considered to be an asset as far of the functioning of humans was concerned. Later, that would change.
Later, when language developed and concepts were dreamed up and false identities were assumed and beliefs formed and were stored in the mind, a plethora of falsehoods and lies and myths and superstitions joined data and facts and evidence and other truthful information.
At the point that the false content of the mind began working with the hidden agendas of false identities, they began to drive distorted thoughts and phony words and destructive actions (relatively speaking).
Simultaneously, humans began to move away from valid data and facts and evidence and other truthful information and ended up being driven by the distortions and delusions and phoniness and destructiveness which marked the point when the mind became a liability which it is today rather than an asset.
Maharaj said of the path, “Go back, reverse.” That would also apply to his advice after he abandoned religious and spiritual versions of the Ultimate Medicine and turned his focus to psychological healing instead.
At that point he advised seekers to reach a no-mind state, to go back to abiding under the auspices of the brain rather than being driven by the hidden, unconscious, subconscious agendas of false personality identifications which are stored in the mind.
Go back to the time when humans were not driven by distortions and delusions and phoniness and a drive toward destructiveness which are stored in the now-warped, unnatural mind.
Move back to reality and authenticity and sanity.
Yet most do not and will not move back to those earliest days but - clinging to the mind and the distorted content therein - move somewhere else (to be identified shortly).
Most will utilize “A Moving Van Of The Mind” (such as the mental diversions of escapism or dissociation or avoidance or evasion or averting) to try to avoid unpleasant or boring aspects of one’s “daily life” can sometimes provide temporary “relief”;
yet most always eventually will have to return to same boring and unpleasant routines which were in place prior to the effort to escape, and that will only guarantee more instability.
Rather than going back or reversing to find steady relief, there are in addition to dissociation, dissociative identity disorder, escapism, avoidance, evasion, averting certain et.al.’s - certain “others” vehicles which are used to try to move to more planet or exciting or stimulating place. They include:
Magical thinking,
Supernatural (religious / spiritual) thinking which leads persons to assign dreamed up supernatural causes to what are merely natural events and . . .
Fantasizing
Idealizing
Wishing
Hoping
Dreaming
Fabricating
Lying (to self)
Programming
Conditioning
Domesticating
Acculturating
Indoctrinating
Manipulating or Begging or trying to control "A Supreme Being" or "Supreme Beings"
and
Brainwashing.
The problem: those Moving Vans Of The Mind do not have routes that go to places where a sane mind can thrive alongside wisdom and also alongside a garbage-filled mind as well;
instead, their routes only go to Fantasyland, to FooFoo Land (that is, the Land of the Fools), and to the Land of the Dotards.
Maharaj did not suggest moving away from dreamed up lands of inauthenticity but suggested following the proper path which allows humans to go back / to reverse / to return to a place of “zero concepts” and “no mind.”
How far away are humans from that place? Millions of years? No. That place is as close to the time when the consciousness manifested in you and in all of the presently living.
Finally, the garbage must go before a sane and sound and wisdom-filled brain can replace (to use some of Maharaj’s words) a nonsense-filled, ignorance-filled, stupidity-filled and insanity-filled mind.
To be continued.

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.
