THE REASON THAT “NON-DUALISTS” SHOULD UNDERSTAND PRIMATE CULTURES ON THE AFRICAN SAVANNAH

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.

 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.

THE REASON THAT “NON-DUALISTS” SHOULD UNDERSTAND PRIMATE CULTURES ON THE AFRICAN SAVANNAH

“Again, primates are primates are primates. The basic behavior of one primate will usually adumbrate the basic behavior of all primates. Apes mirror humans; humans mirror apes; moreover, what happens in Vegas might stay in Vegas, but what happens on the savannah will happen everywhere else on the globe where humans have clustered together in cultures and societies.”

--floyd

Yesterday’s post include these considerations:

Sapolsky (and Maharaj in his own way as well) showed . . . 

that only one species on the planet (namely, humans) suffer from “social and psychological tumult”; 

that the tumult “has been invented by their own species”; 

that the tumult is aggravated by the near-limitless number of hierarchies that have been invented by persons on a global basis; 

that the tumult is rooted in a psychological source (being generated by the warped, belief-filled minds of humans); and 

that the tumult results in stress and discontentment and chaos and the instability that always accompanies dual-mindedness. 

As a result of a species having invented the duality-based tumult that is now manifesting on a planet-wide basis, the effect is that the Ultimate Sickness has been spread around the globe and is now infecting all non-realized persons.

In 2014 when I first began reporting on the fact that human primates could understand more about their own culture’s functioning (and “dysfunctioning”) by seeing the similarities which human primates share with ape primates, one visitor to this site wrote:

“You haven’t convinced me that anything dealing with Sapolsky is worth paying attention to. Yeah, apes and humans are both primates but humans are so much more advanced that there’s not a damn thing apes can teach us. You’re insulting every human on earth. God gave man dominion over all of the animals and the entire planet we live on, not vice-versa.”

First, the “you’re insulting humans charge.” The non-dual invitation for centuries has not been to increase one’s IQ but to no longer being fooled and no longer behaving as a fool.

What if one were to ignorant primate IQ rates and focus instead on the “Fooled and Fool Rate” among humans and the “Fooled and Fool Rate” among apes. Which are fooled more often and which more often behave as fools behave?

Secondly, as for there being a god and that god giving humans dominion over everything on the planet, if persons were to look at the catastrophic results of humans having exerted their dominion over all on planet earth to see which primate - humans or apes - have done the most damage and been “the greater fool.”

If there is an insult to comparing apes and humans, the insult is to the apes.

Third, there is no intent here that anyone teach you anything. What is called for among humans is being un-taught, is un-learning.

Fourth, your assessment of how totally different ape primates are from human primates ignores the fact:

What do apes and humans have in common?

Research shows that “the African apes and humans both have essentially the same arrangement of internal organs, both share all of the same bones (though somewhat different in shape and size), both lack external tails, and both have several important blood type systems in common. Both also contract or develop many of the same diseases.”

There is only a 1.6% difference between a human's and a gorilla's DNA; therefore, there is a 98.4 percent commonality in their DNA.

As for similarities in relationships, there are many commonalities as well, except that ape primates are fooled far less often than human primates.

Consider:

Historically, the females of both primate types look at a potential mate's socioeconomic status: can this human / ape provide food, shelter, and protection? Can this male provide?

Historically, the males in both groups are more appealing if they are muscular, masculine, and strong and have broad shoulders and relatively narrow waists.

Waist-hip ratios in males are considered before committing, if the female has a choice.

Males often consider a female’s waist-to-breast ratio. Will the female be able to feed the offspring effectively?

Therein lies major evidence of humans being the bigger fool.  Why? Because only the male human primate will wholeheartedly be attracted to artificial breasts. Humans go for the fake. Humans go for the image. So to that one questioning me in 2014, which male primate is dumber?

Hundreds of male humans came here over the years for one-on-one sessions and unloaded on their “EX’s, criticizing “the gold diggers they ended up with.” The consideration offered?  “If you used gold as bait when trying to hook a woman, what did you expect to reel in?” Which are the greater fools? Those male humans . . . or apes?

As Dr. Joseph Troncale puts it “ . . . the limbic system is about all that a lizard has for brain function.” The limbic cortex is the part of the brain which is the most primitive part of the brain, the brain stem. That part of a person's psyche or personality is dominated by instinct or impulse rather than rationality and reason.

Objective witnessing shows that the human primate is far more irrational and unreasonable in mate selection.

In human cultures, hierarchies are established which are based on the most shallow and superficial and silly means of functioning, so it is most often the human male primate which comes up with the most preposterous and insulting categorizations of females, starting with a numbering system with a range from 1 to 10 with the ten being based on appearance (image) alone.

At the bottom of the human primates' image hierarchy are those labeled with the numbers 1, 2, and 3.

Above those in the hierarchy are the ones assigned either a 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 label.

At the top of that hierarchy are the ones labeled as “an 8, a 9, or a 10.”

That's a human game. Apes use criteria in the selection process, but they are never fooled by an image.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are presently dating. Kelce - jealous of the attention his brother was receiving with his three children - often spoke of “seeking a female breeder.”

Okay, male ape primates may well factor in a potential female mate’s apparent ability to breed, but only the most gauche, tasteless, tacky, human male primates public speak of and insult females by referring to them as “breeders” as Kelce has done when he has said,

“I’m gonna find a breeder” and “I’ve gotta start breeding” and “I give a shout out to all the breeders out there.” 

The “Queen of Female Independence in the U.S.” has been forewarned by her latest “love interest” himself: “Taylor, activate your lizard brain; kiss me hello and kiss your independence goodbye; then, turn your life over to me to run; and finally, assume the position, Breeder!”

In that regard, a female might as well be abiding under the control of a really muscular, masculine, and strong troop leader ape in an African forest.

Among human males who are functioning within the limitations of an artificial, duality-based hierarchy, it can be about finding a “winner” to “breed with.”

Horses that have been winners of races and big-money payoffs get priority in the breeding game; the “losers” end up in a glue factory. Such is the way that duality-driven humans behave, and duality-driven humans experience the psychological tumult that comes with playing the duality-driven selection games that humans play.

Maharaj would agree fully with the conclusions proven by Sapolsky’s research: the relative existence of almost all of humankind really is marked and marred by the “psychological tumult” that comes after entering into a “psychological state.” 

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.]
