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.
MISTAKES OFTEN MADE BY SEEKERS
MISTAKING UNCONSCIOUS ACTIONS FOR CONSCIOUS CHOICES
While many seekers mistakenly believe that they are making choices when, in fact, the hidden agendas of some remaining ego-states / false identities are driving all of their thoughts and words and actions (just as is the case with the non-realized masses).
The result of accepting ancient myths and superstitions as truth is that those legends and lies now control the thoughts and lives and words of people today, thousands of years after those fictional tales were dreamed up.
Billions
of persons have been programmed to believe lies. Then, they unconsciously allow
those lies to determine what they do, what they say, how they feel, how they act,
and how they react.
The result of that absence of truly being awake and aware of who / what they
are is that persons are being driven by subconscious motives and unconscious
influences without having the slight clue that such is the case.
The result of that scenario is a planet populated with persons who behave as if they are destructive robots that (a) have been built with an ability to destroy things and people and places and relationships and that (b) have been programmed to do just that.
John from his lofty perch of (“the Child and Agent of God”) believes that he chose to write the e-mail shared earlier in this series.
In fact, he wrote from a state of unconsciousness and warped consciousness, driven by what he thinks are “his beliefs” but having no clue at all that he's merely repeating in his sleep some words he heard and that reinforce fictional tales that were dreamed up thousands of years ago.
It took Pavlov little time or effort to condition his dogs to behave unnaturally. People can be conditioned with as little time or effort as well.
After attending only a few gatherings of religious groups or spiritual groups and hearing what persons there are saying and watching what persons there are doing, the newly-arrived are soon talking the same talk, soon praying the same prayers in unison, and soon repeating (as if an expert) the same phrases and expressions that they first heard only a few days before.
Persons can be conditioned to behave in a zombie-like fashion and to unconsciously mimic other persons about them in very short order.
Some people talk in their sleep and don’t know what they’re saying; some people get drunk or high and say things they don’t even know they’re saying;
others are functioning under the influence of their personality so that anything that they say is “personality-speak,” merely an ego-state talking away in an effort to support its false self.
In all of those cases, the words and actions of persons are being controlled by factors that they are completely unaware of. And the writer John - along with those who believe what you believe - are no different.
As
John prays “all day, every day,” he is merely repeating words and doing things
that are rooted in myths and false beliefs that were, and are, pure fiction . .
. dreamed up millennia ago and blindly repeated today.
Talk about not being present to the moment. Talk about being asleep but
thinking you’re awake. Talk about believing myths and disseminating
fabrications. Talk about spreading lies and hoodwinking the masses.
Talk about believing that you’re making conscious choices when totally unconscious actions are really taking place. It’s one thing to take a drug and not know fifteen minutes later why you’re doing what you’re doing and why you’re saying what you’re saying.
It’s something else entirely when you’re talking and behaving under the influence of something that is not fifteen minutes old but that is thousands of years old instead.
As
for John and his comrades, GHB, Rohypnol and Ketamine are date-rape drugs; your
ideas, concepts, and beliefs are brain-rape drugs.
So the considerations for visitors today are: Are you beginning to see why
you’re really saying what you’re
saying? Are you beginning to see why you really believe what you believe?
Are visitors beginning to see why you’re really doing what you’re doing? Do you not see that your entire life, “all day, every day” is based in hearsay?
If
you think you have free will and are making choices but the fact is that you
don’t even have a clue about why you’re believing what you believe and why
you’re saying what you say and why you’re doing what you’re doing, how
insane-like is that? 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.”
How trapped are you in beliefs and ideas and concepts that are pure hearsay . .
. pure nonsense . . . pure fiction? How out of touch with reality is that?
Functioning from within a hypnotic state as a result of being programmed and conditioned, persons are totally asleep but are convinced that they are completely awake. While persons talk proudly about their lofty “minds” that “separate them from the animals,” they are actually living nothing more than a “monkey see - monkey do” existence.
Living under the influence of ancient pagan beliefs and the additional concepts that modern cultures have added, the non-realized have been intoxicated both emotionally and spiritually.
They
are high on an ancient drug that is a blend of unquestioning faith,
superstitions, mythologies, legends, and an ego-based desire for power.
In the book CASTING LIGHT ON THE DARK SIDE OF RELATIONSHIPS, seventeen
factors that drive people unconsciously (and that end up destroying “relative-existence-relationships”)
are catalogued and explained, including conditioning and programming;
internalizing mates and/or parents; archetypes and genetics;
the
subconscious “mind”; ideas and concepts; reactions inspired by
ego-state-generated emotions; beliefs; obsessions and compulsions; events from
the past that impact the present; personality type; and all of the other
factors listed and discussed in detail in the book.
Even as persons think they are making choices and decisions, they are really
being driven blindly by factors that they are not even aware of, and many of
those factors are rooted in ancient fictional tales that are now considered to
be “holy teachings” that are considered “sacred” and thereby “beyond
questioning.”
How
powerless is that? As with the non-dual understanding, Casting Light not
only identifies what drives persons blindly but also offers steps that can be
used to be free of those subconscious motives and unconscious influences which
control persons, factors which they are totally unaware of.
Until you identify what it is that is making you do what you do and think what
you think, you will never stop behaving in an insane-like fashion and you will
never be rid of the incessant chatter that is being generated by the fictional “mind”
that resulted from the warping of the consciousness.
Nor will you be able to live naturally; instead, you will be trapped in the effects of your programming and conditioning and will live in an unnatural, or supposedly supernatural, manner.

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."
