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. Also, by clicking on NUMBER FOURTEEN," visitors can also see the introductory discussion on non-duality on Walter's non-duality site and then a Q and A session which followed.]
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 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. 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?
6. 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.
ARE YOU AT THE WET CHARCOAL STAGE OR THE GUNPOWDER STAGE?
(Most haven’t a clue and must be told)
For consideration prior to the upcoming discussion of the effects of personality identifications:
In the U.S., 59% of all women murdered annually are killed during the breakup of a relationship.”
The murders are a direct result of the belief in false personality identifications. Would not that fact alone be inspiration enough for persons to abandon all such identifications?
The three recent posts showed
(1) how complicated and complicating and complex
personality identifications are and how they lead to the existence of personality disorders and chaos and insanity; and
(2) how billions of humans are trapped in delusion and distortion as they cling to their beliefs that false personality identifications are real and are true “definers” of who humans supposedly are; and
(3) how belief in personal identifications will guarantee that the relative will be continually screwed by the delusions and distortions which accompany every false identification assigned or assumed.
Pointers from Maharaj make clear that both (2) keeping the relative existence simple rather than complicated and (b) casting aside belief in any and all personality identifications are vital.
“. . . Personality is only an obstacle.”
“The dissolution of personality is followed always by a sense of great relief, as if a heavy burden has fallen off.”
“How utterly dependent is the personality.”
“It is all very simple”
“Truth is simple and open to all. Why do you complicate?”
“Be simple, be humble.”
“You are deeply complex, mysterious, hard to understand.”
“You are afraid of being impersonal.”
“It is you who are deeply complex, mysterious, hard to understand. I am simplicity itself, compared to you.”
“Give up all ideas about yourself and simply be.”
“It is all very simple; it is the presence of the person that complicates.”
“It is the simple that is certain, not the complicated.”
The medical community cautions all humans to isolate themselves from people who have easily-transmitted diseases such as tuberculosis, Covid, chicken pox, and influenza, and the masses express their gratitude for those cautions.
But is gratitude expressed when a non-dual guide points out that throughout human history there have been three contaminated groups - namely, big religion, big politics, and big business - which have been the chief transmitters of the Ultimate Sickness?
Moreover, is gratitude expressed when a non-dual guide points out that because those three have been the chief sources of false personality identifications and the subsequent complicating of humankind’s relative existence that humans might want to consider limiting or discontinuing their exposure to those transmitters of the mind-warping Ultimate Sickness?
The Non-Dualist Yeshu’a: “Dual-minded persons are unstable in all ways.”
The Ultimate Sickness involves belief in body and mind and personality identifications and duality-based belief systems which are, in turn, based in beliefs rooted in ignorance and lies and insanity, resulting in personality disorders and neuroses and psychoses and chaos.
What’s key to all which was catalogued in the previous paragraph? Beliefs.
The three posts offering an in-depth analysis of the levels of psychic healthiness vs. only average psychic healthiness vs. total and complete psychic unhealthiness should make clear that all personality identifications should be abandoned.
Maharaj said, “. . . Personality is only an obstacle.” That point about personality adumbrates the pointers which have been offered by wise sages throughout the ages.
While many have advised persons throughout the centuries that they might consider giving careful consideration to the maxim to “Keep it simple,” humankind has time and again have instead chosen to “Make it complex, make it complicated, make it convoluted.”
Similarly, throughout the millennia, there have been a near-limitless number of examples of the way that humans have generated their own problems and have chosen complication over simplification.
Those examples have been rooted in (1) religion which codified and ennobled duality and dignified it and elevated it to the highest levels of exaltation and praise and been rooted in (2) packing the human mind with belief in scores and scores of false personality identifications.
As noted, the intent of the three posts dealing with personality disintegration was
(1) to allow each seeker to, maybe, have an understanding of how personality works and how it can disintegrate throughout the relative existence
and
(2) to provide an opportunity for all seekers to look objectively at their own psychic standing in ways - and at depths - never before undertaken
and
(3) to allow visitors to this site to see how complicated the lives of all humans have been made as a result of the effects of belief in false personality identifications.
For chaos and fighting and killing and misery to manifest, there must first be belief in false personality identifications which generate personality disorders and insanity. Without false personality identifications, this statistic could not and would not exist:
In the U.S., 59% of all women murdered annually are killed during the breakup of a relationship.”
More on that tomorrow.
To be continued.
Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
