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.

DO YOU CLAIM TO BE “A CHRIST FOLLOWER?” YOU’RE NOT. IN FACT, YOU’RE NOT EVEN CLOSE
Where Did Yeshu’a Learn The Non-Duality Teachings?
Obviously, the Eastern, non-dual pointer had been heard of in the Middle East for at least 1400 to 1500 years before Christ, and maybe longer than that.
That fact is known because “Moses” (or the actual Jewish writers of what is called “The Old Testament” / Torah) used the summative statement of non-duality (“I AM THAT; I AM”) when it was claimed that God-as-a-burning-bush had identified himself with the phrase “I AM THAT I AM.”
[Note that Jewish text did not know that the original phrase had a semicolon. His (or their) misunderstanding of what the phrase really meant has resulted in considerable misunderstanding and off-the-target discussions about what that phrase in the Book of Exodus actually means.
Many claiming to be “Biblical scholars” report that the statement meant, “I am who I am and you should not question me or that fact.” The ones that understand non-duality and the summative statement, as Yeshu’a did, know just how far off the mark such explanations are.]
Yeshu’a would most likely have been exposed to non-dual pointers while traveling in the Far East with one of his uncle’s caravans (which made regular runs between the Mideast and the Far East).
Documents discovered in India in the last decade make reference to Yeshu’a having been there. By whatever means, though, he was exposed to the teachings and understood them to a considerable degree.
For example, non-dual pointers often focus on being free of the assumption of ego-states or false identities; Yeshu’a addressed the same during the last years of the manifestation when he said, again:
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I
did not come to bring peace - I came to bring a sword” (meaning, to cut out the
belief in false personas)
He continued, “For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.”
(The followers who interrupt that on a literal level usually suggest ignoring the pointer completely.)
So Yeshu’a may have first
been exposed to some Far Eastern understandings while visiting there, but at any
rate, he began sharing those non-duality points during the last years of the
manifestation of that speck of consciousness.
One non-duality pointer he supposedly offered, and which was spot-on, dealt
with the teaching that “a dual-minded man is unstable in all ways.”
The realized
are not dual-minded, so they do not speak of dualities. They do not use the
tool of compartmentalization. They do not accept hierarchies as valid.
As the non-realized make use of that tool, they set themselves up to adumbrate the dualistic mind-speak of their culture and simultaneously set themselves up for the instability that marks the relative existence of the non-realized.
Instability, in turn, sets the non-realized up for fluctuating between states of happiness and unhappiness.
To Review
A baby was delivered in Beyt le’chem (Bethlehem) who was named Yeshu’a (a very common name in the Middle East around 3 A.D.)
That birth did not happen in the winter as "Christians" nowadays all believe. Taxation was handled in those times during the spring and summer when traveling conditions were scorching but not as difficult as winter-time traveling.
December 25th was actually a pagan holiday. So how have so many been fooled into believing that tale of a December 25th birth?
Once again, the hand of Constantine drives the belief in another of his many lies. He chose to try to Christianize an alreay-popular pagan holiday in the hopes of making Christianity more palatable to the Romans.
He chose the date of the Feast of the Unconquered Sun (December 25th) to celebrate the birth of Yeshu'a. Pope Julius I went along with the choice to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival.
Either way, the pagan tradition of lighting candles to symbolize a return of more hours of light during the upcoming days were added to "the birthday celebration."
As for a yule tree and mistletoe, they were both adopted from the druids who sacrificed animals and used the mistletoe and their blood to make an elixir to "cure infertility and the effects of poison. "
In fact, almost all of the elements of celebrating the December 25the birth of Yeshu'a were pagan in origin.
He would later mistakenly be called “Jesus” and would be deified as “Yeshu’a the Christos” (Gk., “The Anointed One”) or also “Kristos” or “Krista.”
(See the Sanskrit “Krista” or the variation “Krishna,” meaning “the all-attractive one,” and used interchangeably with “God” by some).
Also, consider: What Einstein said happens to mass times the speed of light squared. What does it equal? Energy. So what is it really? In Aramaic, Christ the non-dual guide did not said, “I Am the Light.” As noted earlier, he said, “I Am Light.”
Non-duality make clear that there is only energy / matter. THAT is what humans are. That is what all is.
Yeshu’a was reported to have said, “When you speak of me, speak of me as I Am.” He said, “Before Abraham was, I Am.”
The actual meaning of those two statements cannot be understood unless one understands the summative statement of the Non-duality teachings: “I AM THAT; I AM.”
He also said that no one shall ever observe heaven (for it is within) and that heaven and earth shall fade away.
Pope John Paul II understood what Yeshu’a meant when he said that “heaven and hell are not geographic places but are states of mind.” That pope said that “you are in one or the other right now.”
So, for those assuming the role of “Christ Follower,” it can be seen that their beliefs do not coincide with Yeshu'a final pointers at all at all;
that "Christians" and their religious leaders ignore Yeshu'a's non-dual pointers and that they follow the falsehoods and misunderstandings that were set forth by Paul;
Paul distorted the message offered by Yeshu’a and created
“Pauline Christianity” to give credibility to his own views and to convince
listeners and readers to accept his “teachings”; thus, he and Peter became vicious opponents before they were executed.
If you are paying any attention at all to the dogma set forth by the leaders of organized religion, then you have no understanding at all of what Yeshu’a was offering.
There was a time when, per a report in the Bible, that Yeshu’a made a whip of cords and drove the sheep and cattle out of the Temple courts; then he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
He would eventually leave organized religion and “holy buildings” and “holy writings” behind and would share the ancient non-dual pointers of the Far East.
Were he to being able to return today, which he could not, he would take up cords and make a whip again and drive the money-driven leaders of the organized religions;
he would convert the trillions of dollars of buildings standing all around the globe into housing for the poor and homeless;
He would sell the trillions of dollars worth of art and treasures which organized religions hoard and use the money to assist the poor and those sexually abused by church leaders.
He would tell people that the holy texts of Jews and Christians and all other so-called “religious humans” that those writings contain only BS and to cast them aside;
He would demand that religious leaders - who have abused the power and influence of their rank and titles in their churches in order to satisfy their pedophile-style urges for centuries - should be tried and incarcerated for their actions and would demand that the trillions upon trillions of dollars in their church coffers be used to assist the abused;
He would explain that there is no such thing as “a Christian” and that the title is just another false ego-state / false personality identification assigned by families and cultures and accepted as a true identity when passed down to their offspring.
In other words, he would make clear that “It’s All Bullshit.”
