WHY MAHARAJ ABANDONED RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL VERSIONS OF THE ULTIMATE MEDICINE AND TURNED HIS FOCUS TO PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALING INSTEAD Finding a Realized Guide Similar to Maharaj After He Abandoned His Use of Religious and Spiritual Versions of The Ultimate Medicine and Turned His Focus To the Actual Psychological Roots of the Ultimate Sickness (The Conclusion) Yesterday’s post left off with this pointer: No one can be a sucker or a fool unless one was taught to be a sucker or a fool, and that teaching process is never begun with the intent of making a sucker or a fool. In fact it always begins with the intention of making a child “good” or “better” or “right” (meaning having a belief system that is a mirror image of the child’s programmers, conditioners, etc.; and Often with the intention of making a child “a faithful Super Christian / Super Jew / Super Muslim / Super Hindu / Super Buddhist" whatever; and of making a child “virtuous” so as not to be "sinful” (or at least "behaving properly" and being "good" in order to make the life of parents easier and to make those parents “look better in the eyes of the community”). Recall what Maharaj said in that regard: “Only that person will visit this place whose virtue and sin have come to an end.” But where did a person’s notions about “virtue” and “sin” begin? While certain archetypal images may come “preloaded genetically,” the specific beliefs about what makes someone virtuous as opposed to being sinful is taught and learned. Being a sucker or a fool never begins when a child is “born.” It begins when ignorant and insane and foolish programming and conditioning and domestication and acculturation and brainwashing and indoctrination processes begin. Again, Maharaj said "knowledge" comes to each child after its arrival, not before, and that the knowledge which is passed down to a child after its arrival amounts to “learned ignorance.” Once suckers and fools are made, if they later reach the age of a teen or an adult and procreate, then those suckers and fool are most likely to start making their own suckers and fools. Can that continue and expand and eventually make a planetful of suckers and fools? Well, look around. The answer is obvious to the wise, objective observer. Regarding his son who had just been arrested for theft and drug use, a man lamented, “I don’t know how that boy turned out the way he did.” The reply: “Really? You really don’t know? Then I suppose you would not be interested in my offering a possible suggestion about exactly how that happened, right?” (His reply came not with words but with a symbolic gesture made with his middle finger.) The reason that Maharaj suggested that “ . . . You should go back, reverse, to the source” and “Follow the same path by which you came” is because it was during the “coming in leg” when foolishness was added, when each child on earth is relocated early on to the Land of Suckerdom. The “realization” process, Maharaj said, is about nothing more than taking the steps required to be free of the learned ignorance which was taught. On the child's “path” coming in from the source, it was after parents who had been taught ignorance and who accepted without questioning a plethora of falsehoods as fact and who then passed down the learned ignorance of previous generations to their next generation that their child was snatched from the peace of the "The Child Ignorance Stage" or "The Child No-Knowing State” and was taught volumes of ignorance and was assigned all sorts of false identities. In 97% of all case (since that is how many persons on the planet claim to be affiliated with one religion or another) the earliest false identities / personalities / personas / roles deal with religious identities. [Yet hope springs eternal with some and certain shifts are being reported: The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular,” now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009.] To continue: the criteria for being “good” or “bad” were taught; next, the criteria for being a “good” or “bad” daycare attendee were taught or the criteria for being a “good” or “bad” student were taught; then the criteria for being a “good” or “bad” young citizen were taught; then the criteria for being a “good” or “bad” employee were taught; then the criteria for being a “good” or “bad” adult citizen were taught; then the criteria for being a “good” or “bad” mate or spouse were taught; etc., etc., etc. And who teaches another what it is that supposedly makes a “good” or “bad” mate or spouse? An expert trained in the development of healthy relationships? Someone who has previously witnessed a healthy relationship being modeled for eighteen years in her or his home? Or someone with a hidden agenda regarding the “benefits” to be gained from a particular kind of relationship? Or someone who has a particular set of moral values which he or she believes a mate or spouse should mirror? Or someone who is the king or queen of manipulation and knows how to have his or her every expectation met? Or someone who was catered to by indulgent parents and who now wants a mate or spouse to continue that same kind of pampering? Or someone who has particular sexual preferences that might or might not be similar to the preferences of the one they are molding or shaping into the kind of mate or spouse that is exactly as desired, without exception? Or someone who feels entitled to nothing but the best and who is so vain that he or she assumes to know what is always best and what (or who) is falling short of the best? The lyrics of a song recorded by The Outsiders Band and made famous by The American Breed Band illustrate the mindset that many adopt in an effort to try to “please others” and to “be loved in return”: “Bend Me, Shape Me” You are
all the woman I need Bend me,
shape me Everybody
tells me I'm wrong Bend me,
shape me Yeah, bend
me, shape me Send that groveling, dependent, co-dependent message to most persons and they will assume that they also have to right to go beyond bending a mate and shaping a mate to breaking the mate if that mate is not behaving in the exact (often subservient) manner which controlling “Benders and Shapers and Breakers” expect. The “force driving persons on” is the force of a mind driven by the subconscious agendas of all of the personalities which have been assigned or assumed; the force of a mind filled with nonsense and foolishness which allows sucker-ness to flourish; and the force driving persons who are not unlike the two lyricists who wrote the words in that song is a force which also includes the force of the “The Dependent Personality Disorder,” “The Co-Dependent Personality Disorder,” and The Avoidant Personality Disorder.” One can add to that list as well the
many other such mental aberrations and neuroses and psychoses which are part of the hand-me-down baggage
which was owned by generations of persons before and which the most recent
members of that line of humanity are now passing along one more time. thus, to reach even the fourth of seven steps on the "path" is worthwhile, relatively speaking. Maharaj said at the end that it is in fact all that should be sought or that need be sought in order to realize fully. To be free of all false identities and their hidden agendas - which are rooted in personality disorders and in the other corrupt content of the "mind" - would leave one freer than most on the planet will ever be. Otherwise, one will abide in a totally dependent and / or co-dependent state, never truly free. Because being free is a prerequisite for being happy, then happiness can never come when one believes that she or he is dependent on external things and people and places in order to be happy. [The entitled fool themselves and others by claiming they are happy while being totally dependent on others to pay their bills, provide their shelter and clothing and health care, and provide everything else that they believe they deserve because of their egotism-and-arrogance-driven sense of entitlement.] When one's supposed "happiness" is conditional - as is always the case if operating under the influence of the conditioned "mind" - then one cannot be happy if one's child is not happy; if one's mate or lover or friends or family members are not happy; if one's employer is not happy; if one's customers are not happy; if one's fellow citizens are not happy; if the people of "the world" are not happy. Meanwhile, should you follow Maharaj's advice and head back toward the source and follow the path back in the way by which you came - except in reverse order - and thereby reach the non-dual, no-mind, zero concepts, no-beliefs condition that last existed while in "The Child Ignorance Stage" or "The Child No-Knowing State,” then freedom and peace and wisdom and sanity await. For now, Peace, Unity, Love and Light to you. |
