THE DUALITY OF PURITANISM VS. WILDNESS WHICH LEADS HUMANS TO BE “UNSTABLE IN ALL WAYS”

 

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 DUALITY OF PURITANISM VS. WILDNESS WHICH LEADS HUMANS TO BE “UNSTABLE IN ALL WAYS”

“A dual-minded person is unstable (that is, mentally unbalanced and irrational) in all ways.”

--Yeshu’a (“a.k.a, “Jesus”)

 Today the discussion will address the required “mind-flush” that is necessary to realize and then be free of the false beliefs which are generating distorted, marginal thinking and delusions and “ignorance, stupidity and insanity.” That’s all BS, and it needs to be cleared out, tout de suite.

Originally, the “path” which Maharaj laid out for realization to happen was a seven-step “path.” The steps were divided into two parts: finding out who / what you are not and then finding out what you really are.

The second part required understanding that there are things which are infinite . . . which were, are, and shall be.

Those are the things pointed to in physics classes, things dealing with energy-matter, things which can neither be created nor destroyed.

Some unquestioningly believe that “God is infinite” but they cannot even begin to recognize the possibility that other things, such as energy-matter, are truly infinite.

Consider: “The Second Law of Thermodynamics sets forth the scientific fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change from more-useful forms into less-useful forms. As it turns out, in every real-world energy transfer or transformation, some amount of energy is converted to a form that’s unusable (unavailable to do work) while some amount will be highly useful, relatively speaking.”

In general terms, if all is energy-matter, and if energy-matter cannot be created nor destroyed, then nothing has ever been created and nothing have ever been destroyed. All that is happening is that energy-matter is being cycled.

Also consider: humans shed their entire outer layer of skin every 2-4 weeks. Skin is made healthy when food is eaten, food consisting of plants or animals which ate plants.

Numerous foods provide what is required for the replacement of the outer layer of skin, including such plants as nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, green leafy vegetables, and fortified cereals as the best plant sources.

Plant cells can undergo differentiation to form specialized and unspecialized cells which in turn have the potential to develop into any organ or tissue.

Hence, skin is not being “created” each month. If persons eat food, then a process of “skin cell renewal” happens if such plants as nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, green leafy vegetables, and fortified cereals are consumed.

How long does that renewal take each month? It varies from person to person: in babies, skin cell renewal takes around 14 days. For teenagers, it’s around 28 days. In middle age, it takes between 28-42 days. And for 50 plus, it can be up to 84 days.

Where does the dead skin which humans shed each month go? It provides a preview of the “ashes to ashes, dust to dust” business. When you spray Pledge on your furniture and picture frames and everything else you wipe down with a cloth each month, you are wiping up a former part your own elemental plant food body.

If an adult, you are cycling about nine pounds of skin cells annually.

Moreover, “It turns out that each body part has its own very distinct lifespan. The lining of the stomach, constantly under assault by digestive acid, is renewed every few days. Bones refreshment takes about  a decade, and there are a few parts of you that will last throughout the relative existence, illness or accidents notwithstanding.

But your outer layer of skin is not being created; not is your stomach lining; nor are your bones. All of that is a result of cycling matter. Consciousness (conscious-energy) is also a part of the cycling process.

You do not have a speck of consciousness which manifests at “birth” and unmanifests at “death.” Conscious-energy is also cycling as long as you eat plants or animals which ate plants.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to provide oxygen and energy in the form of sugar. Those are all involved in the cycling process as well.

With the body every-changing and the mind ever-changing and the host of ego-states / false personal identifications ever-changing, none of those can be “the real,” “the real” being what it was, what it is, and what it shall be . . . never changing but involved with nature’s cycling processes.  

Thus, Maharaj would eventually alter the version of the “path” and use a four-step path whereby persons use the first three steps to realize what they are not and then transition t the fourth step knows as The Child Ignorance Stage or The Child No-Knowing State.”

That is the approach offered here.

Maharaj would eventually say, “It is enough to know what you are not”

and

“Don’t try to understand! It’s enough if you do not misunderstand.” 

To un-learn what you were taught, that you are this and that and this and that is to free your mind of its belief in scores of false identities and ego-states . . . egos.

So that is the first of the id, ego, superego influencers which need to go.

You are not the ever-changing body and you are not the beliefs stored in the mind, including what you have been told you are and what you have assumed you are.

The discussion will continue tomorrow.

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.]
