KEY SERIES HIGHLIGHTS / REVIEW

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, 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.

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.]
