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.

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)
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.”
“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.”
“It is all very simple”
and
“Be simple, be humble”
and
“Give up all ideas about yourself and simply be”
and
“It is all very simple; it is the presence of the person that complicates”
and
“You are afraid of being impersonal”
and
“It is the simple that is certain, not the complicated.
[Continued from yesterday]
Yesterday it was seen that a man named Mark - when he was estranged from “his wife” - entered the house where she was living and used a gun to hold hostage her and two daughters.
When “his wife” was allowed to go to the bathroom, she opened a window and began crawling out. The noise alerted him and he kicked in the locked door and went into the bathroom and saw her running away.
He raised his gun and shot her in the back. She fell face down onto the front lawn, dead.
Yesterday, this was asked: What is the connection between the murder rate of women in the U.S. and personality identification? Everything. Meaning?
Everything false. Every belief that is a lie and a self-deception and a familial and cultural deception. Every delusion and illusion that is taken to be true and real by those abiding under the influence of “learned ignorance, stupidity, and the planet’s near-universal insanity.”
Personality identifications are stored away in the mind parts of the brain. They function subconsciously and unconsciously and determine non-realized humans’ every thought and every word and every action.
In the case of the shooter, one ego-state (a.k.a., persona, false personality identifications, role, call it what you will) would have been enough to trigger a false sense of threat and inspire murder.
What is that threat about? Every false personality identification requires a co-dependent counterpart player in order to exist. [Thus Maharaj said: “How utterly dependent is the personality.”]
Personality identifications by definition must have a dependent counterpart willing to validates the totally invalid. To believe that a false identity is valid - is real - spouse needs a spouse; employee needs an employer; super teachers need super students, etc.
So when “his wife” is no longer willing to play her role,
“The Husband” feels threatened, so when a women is running away from him. Bam! In the twisted minds of those believing in
their false identities, their hostile, offensive behaviors are believed to be defensive. Insane, Yes?
As noted above, the single ego-state of husband would have been enough to result in the action of murder; however, no one abiding under the influence of personality states is ever driven by only one ego-state at a time. Instead, there are multiple personality identifications driving actions.
Thus, the father, the homeowner, the contributor to the joint bank account, the IRA owner, the business owner, the hotshot formerly strutting about with a trophy wife on his arm, etc., etc., etc. were all talking to him on their subconscious levels:
“She’s destroying you and she couldn’t care less. Her goal is to make you suffer, even though you have been a “Super Husband.’ You’re under attack. Pull the damn trigger!!!”
Boom! The initial insanity: “Whoa. Got her! That was a close call. Relief!”
Maharaj, to those driven by the hidden agendas of false identities,“You are deeply complex, mysterious, hard to understand” and driven by ignorance, stupidity and insanity.
See? Now people who do not understand the ways by which false personality identifications determine thoughts and words and actions said that his abuse of alcohol and his drug use caused him to shoot her.
BS.
He had shown up in the home they were living in drunk or high hundreds of nights. He did not shoot her on any of those occasions.
It was when he showed up, this time driven by the insane power of personas and the personalities’ insane, false sense of being threatened, that he shot her.
Maharaj: “It is all very simple; it is the presence of the person [of personas, false identities] that complicate”
and
“You are afraid of being impersonal,” [meaning, you are afraid of losing your false, personal identities and the images you display in public].
To be continued.
Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
