ANNOUNCEMENTS
[Walter Driscoll asked to interview me in order to preserve on video some of the latest modifications and evolutions in the versions of the message offered here since 1989. He would label the discussion, "Unlearning with Floyd Henderson."
Please note: For those who have a problem hearing what is being shared, the video offers a fairly accurate set of closed captions which some listeners might want to activate.
The interview is available for viewing by clicking on video "NUMBER THIRTEEN" in the column to the right.]
1. [See the offer in gold text following this post for details on how you can watch a retreat on video which includes a detailed discussion of all seven of the steps on the path as used by Maharaj]
2. 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. See the green text after today's post for the full meaning and implications of that.
3. A new video ("Number Ten: Awakening Together Satsang, March 2018") has now been added in the far right column of this page, offering the opportunity to view a recent 2018 satsang session with Floyd being interviewed by Regina and Jacqueline of "The Awakening Together Group." (See the details in the blue text after this post.)
4. Some prefer paperback books even if they have to wait a day or so to receive it and have to pay more for a printed book and its shipment. Now, 10 paperback books by Henderson are in print and available in two anthologies through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and over 40,000+ booksellers around the globe including in the Americas, Germany, India, Italy, Poland, Russia, China, Spain, Brazil and South Korea. See the end of this post in red text for details.
5. Would you like to have us send to someone as a gift from you a copy of any ebook in our inventory? See the offer in purple text at the end of this post.
6. Or, you may purchase a Floyd Henderson Shopify Gift Card here for someone and offer recommendations for the books in Floyd's store which might be of assistance to them.
7. You may click here to visit Floyd's bookstore which offers both digital books and paperback books which deal with non-duality, non-duality-based fictional adventures, recovery, financial sanity, financial planning, and more.
CAUSATION and RELATIVE EVENTS AND BEHAVIORS:
“Evil?” or “Ignorance, Stupidity, and Insanity”?
“Nisargadatta used to say: ‘This is not spiritual knowledge; this is scientific knowledge! One day scientists will come to understand all of this.”
-- From one of Maharaj’s translators
To continue with the Ultimate Sickness / virus analogy from earlier:
One with a basic understanding of science will be able to understand certain key pointers offered by Maharaj, including . . .
There is no creation of anything. There is merely a cycling of what has always been, what is, and what shall always be (a.k.a., “THAT”); thus, there is no birth and there is no death; moreover, because there is no birth, there can be no rebirth.
[Per the Second Law of Thermodynamics]: All that comes together will eventually come apart.
Because there is no creation of anything, there is no “creator / Creator.” No god created humans; humans “invented” gods / God.
Humans are mutations, and all which they teach is a mutation of truth and fact.
Neither dogma nor spirituality can address the Ultimate Sickness because it is a Sickness of the mind, and much of the Sickness of the mind throughout human history has been generated by dogma and spirituality.
Consider conscious-energy / consciousness and the Covid virus. Consciousness operates in an auto-pilot mode. Whether sleeping or sleepwalking and sleep talking, it is consciousness which subconsciously / unconsciously drives the heart to beat, drives the lungs to inhale and exhale, drives certain cells to come and go throughout the month (such as skin cells, stomach lining cells), etc.
When I walk into the backyard where birds are always gathered during the day, if I approach one of them sitting on a tree limb or the top of the back fence, it will fly away.
No “parent” taught the bird to do that. It happens as a result of the subconscious / unconscious desire for continuity for the consciousness has. Birds want it. Fish want it. Humans (composite unities) want it.
Religious leaders and many spiritual leaders who would control the thoughts and words and actions of their followers need not convince them to want to live for eternity. That’s automatic. Those leaders can go right to their claims that their followers will live forever either in a retribution state or in a rewards state.
What an amazing setup to be able to control those followers and even convince them to give money to their leaders and their institutions.
And what an amazing setup for parents and religious leaders and many spiritual leaders and political leaders to be able to program, condition, acculturate, domesticate, brainwash and indoctrinate their followers.
That, in turn, allow leaders to pass down the belief systems which are mutations of fact and truth and which are required for the Ultimate Sickness to entrap the populations of the planet in the Ultimate Sickness and then suffer its symptoms which include being driven by “ignorance, stupidity and insanity.” (Maharaj)
So that’s how the Ultimate Virus, the Ultimate Sickness, is able - with human carriers forever lying - to perpetuate itself. And if any truth or scientific fact be presented that would challenge a human’s ignorant or insane beliefs, the consciousness will distort and mutate the facts in order to perpetuate the Sickness and its accompanying “ignorance, stupidity and insanity.”
The Covid virus is the same. Like the birds which spontaneously fly away or like the acorns which automatically grow into oaks because the consciousness manifested therein is operating in an autopilot mode, so too does the Covid virus function spontaneously as a result of the consciousness manifested within the virus.
That virus, like the birds and fish and humans, is driven by a primary “goal” of the consciousness to achieve continuity. The Covid virus does not want to be eradicated any more than humans want their bodies or their ignorance-and-stupidity-and-insanity-based beliefs to be eradicated.
How to prevent such eradication, whether the discussion is about ignorant and insane beliefs or about the Covid virus? Mutate. Either mutate the facts which would challenge one’s ignorant and insane beliefs or mutate the form of the virus.
And that is what has generated, automatically, the forms of the virus which allow it to experience the continuity desired.
Thus, there has been . . .
SARS-CoV-2
COVID-19
Omnicom
Delta
Alpha
BA 4
BA 5
and a host of sub-variants
and at least 30 other variations.
A “realized non-dualist” like Yeshu’a (incorrectly identified as “Jesus”) who offered many pointers that had never been heard before in Jewish or in what were soon-to-be Christian venues had those variations in the ancient dogma challenged, minimized, or - most often - simply ignored by religious leaders.
Meanwhile, the variations (the variants) of the Ultimate Sickness have been spread so that it is now the dominant source of Sickness around the globe, Covid included.
Again, the consideration is this:
Is Covid “evil”? No. Is “evil” the dominant cause of (relative) harms around the globe? Or are the perpetrators of (relative) harms being driven by “ignorance, stupidity, and insanity” and belief systems which have been mutated and which have no scientific proof to back them up?
Non-dual pointers, on the other hand, do have such proof available.
To be continued.
Please enter into the silence of contemplation.

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.
