SEEKING: WHY, WHAT AND HOW?

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. 

SEEKING: WHY, WHAT AND HOW?

To review for those that are still inclined seek:

1. Seek to abide as all life-forms on the planet abide except for humans: naturally, not unnaturally and not supernaturally.

2. Seek not to find all that you supposedly are; it is enough to find who / what you are not. (Maharaj)

3. Seek to understand how you were programmed, conditioned, domesticated, acculturated, indoctrinated, and brainwashed resulting in you and all humans at some point ending up with no ability to use logic and reason but instead accepting anything from any authority figure as truth without questioning and based on blind faith alone.

4. Relatedly, seek to comprehend how phony personality identities subconsciously determine and control your every thoughts, words, and deeds, thereby eliminating the ability to make conscious choices.

5. Seek to find the real source of the Ultimate Sickness and then seek the effective version of the Ultimate Medicine which can treat the Sickness.

6. Seek - no DEMAND - not only a physically-healthy environment in your home but also a healthy mental / emotional environment in your home.

Each time before my daughter and her husband and my two granddaughters come for a visit, they have always been tested for Covid. I insure that the environment we’ll be visiting in is Covid free as a result of continuing my isolating and cleaning procedures for ten days before they arrive.

Long before anyone heard of Covid, I observed in advance anyone coming inside regarding their health. 

At 76 and with a history of heart attacks and COPD, I have advised those who tell me that the only thing wrong at this point is a minor sinus infection. I tell them to check back in a week to reschedule the visit. Why?

I have witnessed over a 35-year period how persons work their way into my home by minimizing or hiding or denying what ails them, only to receive a call later (or to hear indirectly) that they   having been diagnosed with the following:

hundreds have conned their way in the front door with a full-blown case of a serious cold or influenza as well as the following:

one had a case of the mumps, several had cases of pneumonia, a couple had pneumococcal meningitis, and one had rubella. And that is to name but a few of the contagious sicknesses which selfish, self-centered persons have brought inside.

You might ask: “So Floyd, would you score a 100 on a paranoia test?”

F.: “Not if you’re asking if I’m constantly paranoid about contracting any physical illness, serious or otherwise. The answer would be ‘No’.” 

“If you’re asking if I have doubts about the levels of honesty vs. dishonesty of persons among the billions of non-realized masses who will say anything in order to do whatever they want to do, who will deny anything to do what they want to do, or who will cover up or lie about any impediment which might interfere with their doing what they want to do whenever they want to do it?” then the answer would be - based in decades of observing humans objectively - “Damn straight.”

But that’s all about physical safety. The ruling sanity now present renders body issues among the least of my concerns. Cancer? Been there. Done that. Heart attacks? Been there. Done that. Debilitating injuries sustained in accidents on the road? Been there. Done that. Exposure to polio as a child. Been there. Done that. Exposure to viral (contagious) meningitis? Been there. Done that.

Paranoid? No. Likely to welcome persons with contagious infections into my home? Also . . . no.

Yet all of that should be among the least of humankind’s concerns when the most contagious and most serious sickness which 99%+ of the planet’s human population totally ignore being exposed to is . . . the Ultimate Sickness.

Why would anyone be uncomfortable with (a) a guest coughing and spreading germs incessantly while visiting but at the same time (b) ignore or even tolerate a mate or invite in a guest who brings into the home such contagions as raging, screaming, bitching, whining, moaning, complaining, blaming, criticizing, grumbling, disturbing, upsetting, vexing, and constant, endless, exasperating hell-raising?

If you knew nothing about the following persons and their beliefs, would you possibly (if truly sane) welcome them into your house or flat or apartment if you were shown their pictures?

What about this guy?

 

How about either of these people?

Why do the masses spend so much time concerned with even minor health issues while caring not at all about their mental health issues?

What about you? What are you allowing to enter your home? Physical contagions are invisible, but mentally-unhealthy contagions are quite apparent. They can be seen. They can be heard. Their presence is made perfectly clear when being spread about by such infected types. It should be clear that they should not be welcomed inside your home, much less inside your mind.

Now here’s two questions with deeply-buried answers that most never find:

Do you tolerate such peace-destroying guests or mates inside your home who are infecting the environment with  raging, screaming, bitching, whining, moaning, complaining, blaming, criticizing, grumbling, disturbing, upsetting, vexing, and constant, and endless, exasperating hell-raising?

The key question: What’s the payoff for such tolerance? What ego-state’s hidden agenda is inspiring you to accept or to even normalize such behavior?

Do you allow those types into your home via the internet, television, or other indirect means?

Hence, what to seek item #6 above is offered:

6. Seek - no DEMAND - not only a physically-healthy environment in your home but also a healthy mental / emotional environment in your home.

To be continued.

Please enter into the silence of contemplation.

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.

THE EXPLANATION

If looked at as nouns, they point to illusions and are, therefore, a total waste of time to even discuss; if looked at as verbs which are resulting in certain sane but rare behaviors among humanity, then they are worthy of some attention during the relative existence.

Meaning? There are members of certain groups who say things such as "My concept of god in the past was of a weak god, an absentee god, A Santa Claus-type god, a mean, punishing, vindictive god, etc. Today, I am in close contact with a loving and caring god whom I worship and praise and glorify and give thanks to."

The reply to that usually goes like this: "If you are in contact with a god that wants to be worshipped and praised and glorified, then you're dealing with someone like yourself - a narcissist - and hanging out with narcissists will never bring an end to your narcissism (that narcissism evidenced by the fact that you think you are "godly").

Next, in the phrase 'loving and caring god,' any supposed god that truly had her or his act together would tell you that the totally irrelevant part of that phrase is 'god' and that the only part that is relevant is the "loving and caring" part.

"That is, a non-narcissistic their god / their goddess would say, "I care not an iota about being worshipped and praised and glorified by you or anyone else. How arrogant and insecure and needy would I have to be to want that? Forget the man-made, dreamed up noun 'god' and focus on the 'god as a verb' understanding and then go forth and let loving and caring be verbs - not adjectives - and let them generate the act of love and the act of caring and let those actions manifest through you." 

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"

--Yeshu'a (Jesus)

and 

"Heaven and earth shall fade away."

--Yeshu'a (Jesus)

and 

"Heaven and hell are not geographic places

but are states of mind, nothing more than

concepts dreamed up by men."

--Pope John Paul II 

"There is no hell."

--Pope Francis, the current pope

in an interview with journalist Eugenio Scalfari,

a writer used by the Pope to issue off the record

teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium.

[That said, would that the popes who have shown the courage to reject a core concept of their dogma - namely, "hell" - would find the additional courage required to question the very existence of their institution in light of the centuries-long cover-up of their history of raping children and in light of the mental and emotional and psychological scarring of billions of their members past and present.

And that need for courage also applies as questions need to be asked about why so many other sky cults are still being supported and allowed to continue to exist as well. When certain types of programming and conditioning have been shown to blind the masses, they should end. Will they? Not likely. Why?

Because what the masses think and say and do is most influenced by the international crime families which hold sway over the masses as criminals conduct their planet-wide operations. What are the major international crime families and which are the most influential and have the largest memberships?

The Mafia / La Cosa Nostra; the Catholic Church (with it 1.2 billion followers) whose Vatican Bank worked for decades with the Mafia while laundering mob earnings (for a 15% all-profit charge by the Bank); Protestant and Evangelical Churches (with over 1.2 billion followers) like the one I was raised in where the youth director molested and sexually assaulted young girls; big business which has long created environments in which people have been abused; powerful political bodies like the U.S. Congress, etc., etc., etc.)

With all of those crime families, neither the followers nor the leadership ever voluntarily step down or shut down their criminal activities. Be they gangs, organized crime families, religions, big business, politicians, etc., they all want control and they all want power and they all want money, and nothing internal will interfere with the driving forces at play.

The masses must demand that all those in charge must step down and their groups and institutions must shut down, and there's the real problem because the continuation of their crimes are enabled not as much by the people running such crime organizations as they are enabled by the masses of people who - wanting some perceived "payoff" - remain involved with them and give them money and support them and aid and abet the continued existence of those criminal enterprises and thus facilitate the ability of church criminals and political criminals and other types of criminals to continue to commit their crimes.]
