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”?
A REVIEW OF THE KEY POINTERS REGARDING THE DUALISTIC BELIEF IN “GOOD” VS. “EVIL”
(continued)
“Little else blocks the understanding of cause / causes as much as the ‘good’ vs. ‘evil’ beliefs which are rooted in dogma and politics.”
--Floyd Henderson
“It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant.”
--Barack Obama
“The cause of all is . . . all.”
--Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
236. The case with the non-realized masses is this: they do not have a clue about who (or more accurately “what”) they are, and that is total craziness . . . total insanity, is it not?
Nor do they have a clue about the actual “causes” of happenings which they hate. Little else blocks the understanding of cause / causes as much as the “good” vs. “evil” beliefs which are rooted in dogma and politics.
Add in the effects of the Ultimate Sickness factors of “ignorance, stupidity and insanity” (Maharaj) and it becomes clear why the “godly” and “political” forces who are escalating the spread of dual-mindedness are experiencing such “success.”
[And make no mistake about it: The pointer Obama offered fourteen
years ago about those two forces is even more spot on today than in 2008 when he
first addressed that phenomenon by saying, “It’s like these guys take pride in
being ignorant.” For them, to spread ignorance and belief in their agendas is “success”
to them.]
237. Maharaj made clear that persons are dissociated, trapped in a sense of
WHO-ness without any awareness that there is no “personal who” (or “Personal
Who” / a.k.a. “God”) at all. It’s all just “made up,” “conceptualized,” or - to
use his word - “invented.” The same is true with every word used to invent a
personal identification (or multiple identifications, as it is).
238. “Hindu.” Just made up. “Jew.” Just made up. “Muslim.” Just made up. “Christian.”
Just made up. Just like all of their duality-based and duality-generating and
duality-sustaining and insanity-creating dogma.
All just made up. To paraphrase Churchill, “Never has so
much relative chaos and conflict been inflicted on so many by so few” (that is,
by the few who dreamed up - invented - the myth-and-superstition-based cults
that have evolved into the most influential organizations on the planet and
that have become the key source of nonsensical thinking and nonsensical talking
and nonsensical behavior).
239. And the personas assigned by those organizations, in conjunction with all
of the other personality identifications that are assumed or assigned in homes
and in cultures around the globe, have left the planet with nearly eight
billion persons who do not have a clue about who they are;
who do not have a
clue that the subconscious agendas of their false, multiple personalities are
determining their every thought and word and action, even as they believe they
are choosing to do what they do; and who do not have a clue about actual cause
/ causes.
240. As a highly-intelligent woman was told during a Skype session when she
rejected that pointer, “Okay, so look back over your thirty-two-year existence
and consider the insane, self-destructive, self-defeating things you told me
that you’ve done. If you had chosen to do those, you would have had to be a
very dumb woman. But you are not. So you tell me why you think those things
were done.”
241. But more to the point, to do some of the things that her parents and
acquaintances and culture have classified as “bad” and “evil” would mean that
someone can explain without equivocation and without exception exactly what is “absolutely
good and right” and what is “absolutely bad and wrong” in an existence that is
relative and non-absolute in its very nature and at its very core.
242. Were “evil” actually to exist, the closest thing to that would have to be
persons who believe they know exactly what is “absolutely good and right” and
what is “absolutely bad and wrong.”
That is why Maharaj made clear that “only that person will visit [the loft] whose virtue and sin have come to an end,” and that is why only those persons whose virtue and sin have both come to end will stay for very long in this electronic loft.
Nowadays, time here is only spent with those who are free of
both virtue and sin or with those who are seeking that freedom. Beyond that,
the solitude is far preferable to being exposed to persons who believe that
they are either “virtuous” or “sinful.”
243. It is those who are convinced of their rightness and their virtue and their
higher level of morality (and who love their sense of rightness and virtue and
morality because they believe those differentiate them from “others”) who can
hate those whom they conclude are devoid of rightness and virtue and
morality.
244. That “love-hate” duality is totally removed from Real Love and from the
wisdom of the no-identity, no-belief, no-concept, non-dual understanding and is
at the root of all so-called “acts of hatred” or “evil acts” which are really
acts of ego and egotism and, therefore, insanity.
245. What could be crazier than allowing the agendas of a group of hidden
mirages (false identities) to drive one to insane thoughts and insane words and
insane deeds? Nothing.
246. None of that could happen if one were sane enough to know that there are
no “who’s” and that there is only “what”; thus, the invitation here has always
been to find “WHAT is” rather than “WHO is.”
247. Yet most are attached to the multiple “who’s” which they think define
them, and nothing that ever happened and which persons have called “evil” acts
(which are actually acts of ignorance and stupidity and insanity) could have
occurred except for the fact that a “personal who” - that is, a false identity
- had been assigned or adopted before those actions.
248. What if there had there been no “Christians” who had been told to go to the four corners of the
earth and baptize everyone in the name of Jesus Christ”? Then no “Holocaust of
the Americas” during which white Europeans Christians killed 150,000,000 people
in “The New World.”
249. What if there had been no “Muslims” who weretaught to destroy infidels and spawn acts of
what they deem to be ‘justifiable homicide in response to’ . . . ”?
Then no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Lebanon, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Spain, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in the Mediterranean Sea on the “Achille Lauro,” no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Rome or Vienna,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in the skies over Athens, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in West Berlin, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in the skies over Lockerbie,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens beneath the World Trade Center, no-religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens by flying planes into the World Trade Center and other sites on 9-11,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Riyadh, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Dhahran, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Nairobi, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Karachi,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Jeddah, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Amman, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Damascus, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Algeria,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Yemen, no
religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Benghazi, and no
religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Ankara, to cite only a few
examples.
250. Moreover, no “U.S. citizens who are ‘Citizens of the Greatest Country on
the Planet’ who need to invade and occupy and control and influence the rest of
the world”? Then far fewer of the religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens
catalogued in #249.
251. Maharaj said, “After the information given to you by the mother, that you
are a boy or girl, all your further acquisitions are by hearsay.”
252. It is those persona-based “further acquisitions” that set the stage for
all insane thoughts; moreover; insane thoughts lead to insane words, and it is
from insane words (including the ones that happen when personas “speak” within)
that insane deeds evolve.
253. Without a duality-based “us vs. them” mentality, there could not have been
any religions; any wars; any holocausts; any financial crises such as the
recent one that was hatched by and unleashed upon the planet’s population by
the most greedy persons in the U.S.;
any New Town shooting; any Boston bombing; any Uvalde, Texas slaughter of children and teachers; any slaughter of those in Highland Park, Illinois; any of the millions or billions of really mentally and emotionally sick parents who drive their children insane; or any of the insanity that touches the relative existence of the billions among the non-realized masses every day.
There has long been a warped joke in the U.S. that goes like this: “Insanity is hereditary: you get it from your kids.”
The fact: Insanity is “hereditary” to the degree that you get it from a long chain of insane ancestors who eventually passed it down to your parents who, in turn, have made it your family legacy.
“It’s like all of those guys take pride in being ignorant.” Might you be the one to finally break that chain, a chain which imprisons the mind? Or, will egotism continued to inspire defending them and even inspire taking pride in what they have passed down?
Many who have come here had their “Will Smith Oscars Moment,” wanting to slap me and then yell at me to “Keep my parent's name out yo f*ckin’ mouth!”
As Maharaj made clear, You will never control what comes out of my mouth. What came out of his mouth was not for his own ‘good,’ but it might well be for your own ‘good’.”
That can happen when the pure, universal consciousness speaks and when the finally-unblocked consciousness of a listener is able to hear clearly.
To be continued.
Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
