Is There a Sucker Born Every Minute, or is There a Sucker Made Ever Minute By Parents, Teachers, Religions, Businesses, And Governments?

 

 

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.

Is There a Sucker Born Every Minute, or is There a Sucker Made Ever Minute By Parents, Teachers, Religions, Businesses, and Governments?

In the book “The Board of Directors of Wars,” the theme of non-duality runs throughout its pages. It offers an invitation to wake up and see that big religion, big business, and big government are the three chief institutions which generate more crimes, more nonsense, and more false beliefs than all others combined.

See that they are the chief influences on all of the fools who make up much of the planet’s population.

Interestingly, fools can be among the most unintelligent of all people but can also be among the most intelligent of all people.

A writer named Chery said: “A fool is someone who is unwise, lacks sense, and lacks judgment. Fools don’t want to learn the truth. They laugh at the truth and turn their eyes away from the truth. Fools are wise in their own eyes, failing to take in wisdom and advice.”

Billions of people are turning their backs on the children who are being molested by religious leaders; millions support fascist and dictatorial political leaders all around the globe. Fools turn their backs on evidence of what liars those leaders are and on evidence of how sociopathic and psychopathic their political leaders are and continue to support such leaders as well.

It has been said: “You can fool all of the people some of time; you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.” Really?

Per Maharaj, you can fool almost all of the people all of the time because almost all of the people are sleepwalking and sleep talking their way through the relative existence.

Someone also said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Yet that is not the case. Suckers are not born suckers but are made to be suckers as a result of the fool-rendering programming, conditioning, domestication, acculturation, brainwashing, and indoctrination to which all humans are exposed:

“Virgin births? Sure! Those are possible. God can provide angels with his sperm and they can deliver that sperm to women and allow them to give birth while still virgins.”

 “That has happened 23 times in history. There are 23 religions which claim that their saviors were born of virgins, the most famous likely being The Virgin Mary.”

“Out of over 200 countries, we are number 1, the best in every way!”

“There’s no contradiction in the fact that (1) my god loves us unconditionally but (2) is also willing to burn us in eternal flames if we piss him off.”

“I’ll be glad to pay double the cost for that product over its competitor because the manufacturer hired a popular person to endorse the product on national television.”

“Religious people are far superior to non-religious people, but spiritual people are far superior to religious people.”

“We are shocked that we gave this businessman

billions of dollars after he promised unequaled profits and unbelievable gains only to have him cause the collapse of a $32 billion company and the lost of all of our invested funds.”

Fools are driven by greed and fear and self-centered interests. They buy into the promise of huge, previously-unheard-of financial profits;

they turn their backs on children who are molested by their church leaders because of the promises made by those leaders that they’ll help keep the members stay close to God in order to be at peace now and to have eternal rewards later on”;

and

they listen to popular entertainers and sports figures in their cultures and buy faulty, over-priced products based on the paid endorsements of popular people.

 [“The world loves to be amused by hollow professions; to be deceived by flattering appearances; to live in a state of hallucination; and can forgive everything but the plain, downright, simple, honest truth.” ― William Hazlitt]

Fools support and defend the members of their current “royal families” who along with their royal ancestors have invaded nations around the globe, killed or enslaved their populations, and raped the wealth from their natural resources for decades or even for centuries; 

the masses in those monarchies will even bow to the members of the royal family if they cross paths with them;

fools are drawn to lies and are repelled by the truth about themselves and their nations and their supposedly “superior race”;

and

they believe that their genes are of a higher caliber than the genes of people among all other races.

It has been said that, “Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.”

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard

“The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.” ― Arthur Schopenhauer

“I became good at pretending. I became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. And sometimes, when I did a really good job of pretending, I even fooled myself.” ― Ruta Sepetys

Of course the fools feign wisdom.

“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.” ― George W. Bush

Nice try George, but no cigar.

Fools prevail. Those that are wise are rare. Maharaj said that 1 out of 100,000 will ever awaken fully and realize and thereby be able to differentiate between the true and the false;

later, he changed his estimate to 1 out of 1,000,000;

by the end, he said only 1 out of 10,000,000 will ever awaken fully and realize and thereby be able to differentiate between the true and the false.

The odds favor fools.

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.]
