THE CURSE OF HUMANKINDS’ RELATIVE EXISTENCE: IDENTIFICATIONS

 

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 newer 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.

THE CURSE OF HUMANKINDS’ RELATIVE EXISTENCE: IDENTIFICATIONS

[Continued from yesterday]

“There is no such thing as mind - apart from thoughts which come and go - obeying their own laws, not yours. They dominate you.”

and

“It is enough to find out all that you are not.”

--Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

I had spoken to Mark on the day before he would appear on The Dr. Phil Show about the plethora of his assigned and assumed personalities which were all feeling “hurt, interfered with, and threatened” before he murdered his soon-to-be “Ex-Wife.”

I noted that those personalities included “The Super Husband,” “The Super Father,” “The Finance Man,” “The Lover,” “The Homeowner,” “The Family Man,” “The One Being Victimized,” etc., etc., etc.”

“That,” I continued, “is what personality-inspired delusion can look like; that is what personality-inspired insanity can look like; that is what the results of the warped perspectives that come with body and mind and personality identifications can look like.

“To be freed from being driven by the hidden agendas of multiple personalities might be enough to change the entire remainder of one’s relative existence.”

Maharaj: “Seek not ‘who you are.’ It is enough to find all that you are not.”

Because of the agendas of assumed ego-states / false personalities / personas / stage characters / roles / players on the stage of The Theatre of the Lie, 59% of all women murdered annually in the U.S. are killed because the men they have been involved with (and the men whom they are finally leaving in order to end their physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse) really believe that they are roles they have  been playing.

That's 59%! Killed. Why? Because the men they are dealing with are convinced that the roles they are playing are who they really are. “Ignorance. Stupidity. Insanity.” Those are the traits of, the symptoms of, the Ultimate Sickness as delineated by Maharaj.

Now, a few pointers just for those who are totally lost in the nonsensical beliefs held by those persons who have the Ultimate Sickness:

Do you believe (1) that a role can be hurt or interfered with and / or threatened and do you believe (2) that one must kill the person who is believed to be assaulting one or more of the roles that a person is playing?

Then you are ignorant and should seek to understand why. And you are stupid and should seek to understand why. And you are insane and should seek to understand why.

And don’t try to blame the drugs, the alcohol, or other reason-destroying substances. Nothing external is the cause of your ignorance and stupidity and insanity. Those are all parts of an inside job.

The problem is never inside a bottle or what's in a baggie. The problem is in the parts of the brain which are called “the mind.” And note I did not say, “in your mind.”

Why? Because there is no such thing as your mind. What there is is their mind.

Your ignorance, stupidity and insanity are nothing more than the evidence of the ignorance, stupidity and insanity of your programmers, your conditioners, your domesticators, your acculturaters, your indoctrinators and your brainwashers along with everyone whom you believe unquestionably (usually as a result of the fact that their beliefs are reinforcing the beliefs which are presently contaminating your mind.

The politicians whose rallies you go to hear as they spew their duality-based hate-speech and division-speech are an audience made up of people just like you. They speak of being victimized. You believe you have been victimized, even though all along it has been you who has been victimizing others.

Those speakers you listen to at political rallies, in church, in a synagogue, in a temple, wherever, are lying, but you believe you are hearing truth. Do they believe what they are saying? Who cares? Lies are lies, whether the liars realizes that or not.

Your problem is that your teaching and your upbringing have left you unable to differentiate the true from the false. A three-year has command of more logic and reason and sense than you.

Your mind is so twisted that you believe the lies that you believe and you believe the lies that your influencers tell.

And among the most effective influencers are the false personalities, the false roles, which are stored in your warped mind.

Every false personality you have, and there have likely been scores of them by now, has a basic fear and a basic desire. They are the key, subconscious drivers of your every thought and word and action. 

You are being driven by unfounded fears and likely-to-be-unmet desires. 

You are being controlled by false identities. A stage or film actor might play the role of a detective, a lover, a super hero, a hit man, a kind father, or a mean ass dad. Yet they do not go out after a night on the stage or a day in the film studio and report for work in the detective division of their local police station;

they do not go into an empty flat and think “this is the night I'll stay in and be a great lover“; they do not put on a cape and jump out of the window believing that they can fly and rescue persons in need; they do not kill someone and then go to see a mob boss and ask for their pay;

they do not go into a home with children and act as if they are the father and bestow gifts on the children; and they do not go into a home with the children of other adults and berate them or beat them.

All of that would be insane, but persons among the masses behave insanely on a daily basis.

G.B. Shaw: “Of course there's life on other planets. They are using earth as their insane asylum.” 

Professional actors act in the various ways of the roles they play, but simply because they played those roles does not lead sane actors to believe that they are those roles in truth.

“You” are nothing more than a composite unity, made of elements which are forming a space within which air can circulate and within which conscious-energy can circulate.

Presently, neither the elements nor air nor the consciousness can remain for any considerable length of time. All three must be regularly replaced, along with the elements as well.

The skin of your stomach lining can only last for a few days; even the outer skin on your body can only last about 28 days before you have to get out the can of Pledge and clean the dead skin flacks (a.k.a., “dust”) off your furniture;

the air can only remain within you for minutes or seconds; and the conscious-energy can remain inside the space formed by elements for about 40 to 55 days, depending on the health condition of the body and if water is available to drink.

In all cases with humans, the eating of plants or the eating of something that ate plants must happen in order to replace the elemental parts including skin and organs; in order to replace the oxygen; and in order to replenish the supply of consciousness, of conscious-energy.

That’s “you.” Now, can walking away from you hurt your skin, your oxygen supply, or your consciousness supply?  

Specifically, can walking away from you hurt your skin? Can walking away from you interfere with your oxygen supply? Can walking away from you threaten your consciousness supply?

No. Hell no.

The invitation? Find out what you are not. What you are not is “A Super Husband or a Super Wife,” “A Super Father or Super Mother,” “A Finance Man or Finance Woman,” “A Male Lover or a Female Lover,” “God’s Gift to Women / Men” or “A Homeowner” or “A Teacher”

or “A Military Person” or “A Representative of God on Earth,” or “A Non-Dualist, A Hindu, A Baptist, an Evangelist, or A Catholic” etc., or any one or another of the thousand of roles dreamed up in your culture or other cultures.

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.]
