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.
IF ONLY THREE HOURS OF MANIFESTATION REMAIN: The “Final” Talks of Floyd
Above All: Be Love, But Then Live In An “As If” Fashion So That You Can Enjoy Love As A Relative Expression Of ABSOLUTE, REAL LOVE As Well
(Continued
from yesterday)
Furthermore, is True Love ever needy, really? Absolutely not. Are you from a
broken home and are now being driven subconsciously to try to form a family and
to “get it right” this time? Are you assuming erroneously that it is Real Love
that is driving that desire?
11. Is it possible that Love is NOT real if it drives self-destructive behavior
or if it drives you to try to please at any cost . . . even the cost of never
finding out who or what you truly are as you subjugate yourself to another person?
12. Is it possible that Love is NOT the purely physical response that
automatically drives all species to propagate?
13. Is it possible that Love is NOT that which is a product of the many
subconscious and unconscious factors that drive persons to try to treat with
“love” the plethora of mental and emotional issues that need addressing?
14. Is it possible that Love is NOT that which drives you to expend so much of
your energy in an effort to find something that will heal the wounds of your
childhood trauma and / or your adulthood trauma?
15. Is it possible that Love is NOT that which drives persons to unite in order
to feel whole? Are you aware that those drives are rooted in not knowing the
unicity, in imagining that the duality of “separation” is “real,” and in
believing that the duality of “aloneness” or “apartness” are “real?” If you
complete the “Four-Step Journey to Reality,” you will understand that the word
“aloneness” is a corruption of the original term, “all-oneness.”
16. Is it possible that Love is NOT what it is taken to be by anyone involved
in “self” (personas, false selves) nor by anyone who has not fully realized,
nor by anyone who has not come to know the unicity of all via truth and authenticity
awareness?
17. Is it possible that Love is NOT what it is taken to be by persons who are
unaware of the selflessness beyond this manifestation?
18. Is it possible that Love is NOT that which persons are driven to search for
as a result of the desires, the perceived emotional needs, and the fears of
their ego-states?
19. Is it possible that Love is NOT that which drives persons to try to find a
partner to provide now what they wanted in childhood but did not get?
20. Is it possible that Love is NOT that which is supposed to meet regularly
your physical desires and is NOT that which is supposed to provide for your economic
welfare?
21. Is it possible that one’s desire to buy you with money - to have you sell
yourself - is (a) NOT at all a display of how much that person must surely love
you and is (b) NOT evidence of how fantastic you must surely be?
Is it possible, instead, that a monetary or material offer - no matter how
nobly or philanthropically or altruistically or “lovingly” the proposition is
packaged - is itself evidence of that person’s narcissism-based arrogance, of
that person’s desire to own and possess and jealously control, and of that
person’s propensity to downgrade you (along with any others whom that person
has likely been able to buy before you)?
What other beliefs need to be abandoned in order for you to look objectively at
your past and present beliefs and thoughts and behavioral patterns in regard to
relationships and “love” and then be able to differentiate between what Real
Love is vs. what Real Love is not?
(Part Three: Being Love And The Natural Expression of Love)
Shared
in an earlier post was this point:
Here, it is understood that those who have said “you should encourage abstinence”
have mentally discarded the “I AM” part of the summative statement and now
delusionally take themselves to be “THAT only.” (The debunking of their
endorsement of the unnatural will be treated later.)
Thus,
the discussion will now turn to those who behave in an unnatural manner because
they have adopted a supernatural (i.e., “spiritual” or “lofty” or “noble” or “exalted”
or “elevated”) role which drives them to abandon all that is totally natural
and to avoid all that they take to be “impure” even though that is not the case
at all.
Those persons who have offered such suggestions - believing that they have the
right to dictate what is taught here and what is not and believing that they
have the right to dictate what people should and should not do with their own
bodies - have offered their suggestions to the wrong teacher.
Here,
the Direct Path Method is used in conjunction with the Nisarga (Natural) Yoga,
so nothing that is totally unnatural will be endorsed, and all that is natural
will be endorsed.
What those persons want is a teacher who has assumed the same persona that they
have, namely, the persona of “The Super Spiritual One”; or, they are seeking a
teacher who will reinforce their unnatural mode of functioning and their
distorted belief systems.
Here, the rejection of all beliefs is recommended; never have the teachings /
unteachings here recommended that one should be free of his or her former “bad”
beliefs in order to replace those with “good” beliefs, with “religious” beliefs,
with “spiritual” beliefs, with “lofty” beliefs, with “noble” beliefs, with “exalted”
beliefs, or with “elevated” beliefs.
The model for abidance in the relative existence here is the deer. The moment
that a deer is found to be practicing abstinence, then that might be considered
as something “natural,” but even that case would likely be found to be an abnormality
and dismissed as such.
Here, the suggestion is not to run about seeking
physical sex or to run away from physical sex. Here, the point is to enjoy all
that the relative existence can offer post-realization because everything
enjoyed can finally be enjoyed in a sane, logical, rational, normal and natural
manner.
There will be no “unsafe sex” practiced because that is not sane. There will be
no need for sex because that would indicate a dependency, natural urges
notwithstanding.
As
with all things here, sex might happen or might not and the only conclusion either
way would be, “So it is.” On the other hand, the physical expression of
Absolute Love via a relative demonstration of Love / love will continue to be
viewed as an act that is totally natural.
Two persons from the Far East who claimed to be “truly realized” - as opposed
to the “non-true realization” they said they had detected here - had explained
and complained that “you should be recommending abstinence.”
(It was suggested to both they might want to Google “control freak” and seek to find its relevance to their beliefs.)
Of
course among the non-realized masses, confusion is the rule, but even among
those who claim to be realized, most are involved in nothing more than the
continuing confusion that results from what Maharaj called “kindergarten-level
spirituality.
In
assuming their new but false identity of “THAT ONLY,” they are pretending that
the relative dissolves as a result of their having reached such noumenal and
spiritual heights.
If that dissolution really happened as a result of realization, then the only
chance for experiencing the essence of Love and Love’s Expression would
disappear as well because there are no physical rewards awaiting in some
imaginary, upgraded “world” that one will supposedly abide in “later” and “eternally.”
