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, and financial budgeting.
KEY SERIES HIGHLIGHTS / REVIEW
245. What could be crazier than allowing the agendas of a
group of hidden mirages (false identities) to drive one to insane thoughts and
insane words and insane deeds? Nothing.
246. None of that could happen if one were sane enough to know that there are
no “who’s” and that there is only “what”; thus, the invitation here has always
been to find “WHAT is” rather than “WHO is.”
247. Yet most are attached to the multiple “who’s” which they think define
them, and nothing that ever happened and which persons have called “evil” acts
(which are actually acts of ignorance and stupidity and insanity) could have
occurred except for the fact that a “personal who” - that is, a false identity
- had been assigned or adopted before those actions.
248. No “Christians who are to go to the four corners of the earth and baptize
everyone in the name of Jesus Christ”? Then no “Holocaust of the Americas”
during which white Europeans Christians killed 150,000,000 people in “The New
World” was justified by a lie.
249. No “Muslims who are to destroy infidels and spawn acts of what they deem
to be ‘justifiable homicide in response to’ . . . ”? Then no religion-inspired
murders of U.S. citizens in Lebanon, no religion-inspired murders of U.S.
citizens in Spain, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in the
Mediterranean Sea on the “Achille Lauro,”
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Rome or Vienna, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in the skies over Athens, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in West Berlin, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in the skies over Lockerbie,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens beneath the World Trade Center, no-religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens by flying planes into the World Trade Center and other sites on 9-11, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Riyadh, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Dhahran,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Nairobi, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Karachi, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Jeddah, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Amman, no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Damascus,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Algeria,
no religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens in Yemen, no religion-inspired
murders of U.S. citizens in Benghazi, and no religion-inspired murders of U.S.
citizens in Ankara, to name only a few.
250. Moreover, no “U.S. citizens who are ‘Citizens of the Greatest Country on
the Planet’ who need to invade and occupy and control and influence the rest of
the world”? Then far fewer of the religion-inspired murders of U.S. citizens
catalogued in #249.
251. 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.”
252. It is those persona-based “further acquisitions” that set the stage for
all insane thoughts; moreover; insane thoughts lead to insane words, and it is
from insane words (including the ones that happen when personas “speak” within)
that insane deeds evolve.
253. Without a duality-based “us vs. them” mentality, there could not have been
any religions; any wars; any holocausts; any financial crises such as the
recent one that was hatched by and unleashed upon the planet’s population by
the most greedy persons in the U.S.; any New Town shooting; any Boston bombing;
or any of the insanity that touches the relative existence of the billions
among the non-Realized masses every day.
254. The Ultimate Sickness involves the duality rooted in
(1) assuming multiple personalities (personas, ego-states, roles, false
identities) and then in (2) all of the personality disorders that accompany
those assumed personalities.
255. Abiding under the auspices of personality, people are driven by the
specific fear-agenda and / or desire-agenda of any given persona. The result is
a constant series of patterns and repetitions, none recognized by persons who
are always in one personality trance or another and therefore thinking in a
trance, talking from the trance, and behaving in fashions that are a result of
the trance and a result of one or more of the desire or fear agendas of their
assumed or assigned personas.
256. Liberation refers to the condition of being free from living under the
influence of the hidden, subconscious agendas of personalities.
257. The wisdom of the ancient non-dual message has long allowed realized guides
to warn persons of the chaos and insanity that accompanies
body-mind-personality identification and personality assumption and to provide
a means by which persons could be freed of the traits of personality and their
accompanying mental illnesses and from all of the other effects of the Ultimate
Sickness.
258. Ego-states, being rooted in duality, are forever making judgments about
who is virtuous and who is not.
259. It is because “others” can become the pawns that insane persons use to
complete the agenda of their assumed personas or the internal chaos generated
by the bizarre beliefs stored in their “minds” that the children in New Town,
Connecticut became the targets of Adam Lanza and why the people in Boston,
Massachusetts became the targets of the Tsarnaev brothers.
260. To suggest that ego-state / personality-driven acts and egotism-inspired
acts and ignorance-and-stupidity-and-insanity-based acts are really acts that
happen because certain people are not virtuous or because they are sinful and
evil is to oversimplify the multiple factors involved in any actual chain of
causation.
261. It is the use of such religious and ideological and spiritual-based
judgments and assessments that prevent the masses from ever understanding what
is actually at play behind any and all acts of violence and fighting and
war.
262. “Evil” is not at the root of the planet’s widespread instances of fighting
and divorcing and regional rivalries and shootings and stabbings and bombings
and civil wars and international wars and mass murder and genocide; what is at
the root is a dualistic belief that involves this mentality: “me vs. him or her”
and “me vs. them” and “us vs. them.”
263. Once false identities are adopted, then the battle lines will already have
been drawn; then the battle begins after (1) an assumed ego-state upgrades
itself; and after that ego-state (2) downgrades any other persona or persons
whom it thinks represents a threat to the agenda of that assumed ego-state (or
after an ego-state identifies another - an “other” or “others” - that can be
used to “create” and sustain one or more assumed ego-states or create
another).
264. Lanza needed the children in an elementary school in order to create and
sustain a new identity of “The World’s Number One Mass Murderer”; the brothers
in Boston needed bystanders and runners to create and sustain the new persona
of “The Number One Avengers of Wrongs Perpetuated Against Muslims by the U.S.
Government.” See? Ego and egotism: “I’m #1!” and “We’re #1!”
265. To assign “evil” as the cause of those deeds ends the search for
understanding the actual elements in the chain of causation. To understand some
of the elements in the chain of causation, one must understand the ways that
persons are driven by the agendas of their assumed ego-states which are then
driven to extreme actions after the ego-defense mechanism of egotism is
triggered.
266. When egotism is triggered, one is always believed to be better than “others”;
what one wants is always more important than what “others” want; and whatever
one’s cause or causes are will always be thought to be more important that the
causes of “others.”
Moreover, the hate-inspired, harmful (relatively-speaking) acts since 2015 in the U.S. have come when mesmerized members of a political cult have dealt with “others” in ways which are driven by a belief held by those cult members that persons’ actions can be justified if rooted in the concept of “the greater good.”
Humans who believe that whatever they are doing is based in the belief in “a greater good” are far more dangerous - relatively speaking - than (1) a den of aggressive, poisonous snakes or (maybe surprisingly) (2) a scourge or group or swarm of mosquitoes which cause between 750,000 to 1,000,000 human deaths per year.
To be continued.

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."
teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium.
