IF ONLY THREE HOURS OF MANIFESTATION REMAIN: The “Final” Talks of Floyd

 

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.

 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.”

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.]
