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)
SIMPLE vs. COMPLEX
Anthropological research and findings and evidence gathered in the field have long shown that humankind experienced a very simple lifestyle throughout the relative existence. Subsequently, human minds have come up with the most complex and complicated and complicating ideas, notions, convictions, opinions, theories, views, perspectives, suppositions creeds, faiths, laws, etc., (a.k.a., "beliefs") imaginable and have thereby screwed it all up and trapped humans in the wet charcoal stage and blocked most efforts to enter into the gunpowder stage.
For example: magical thinking has driven millions and trillions to believe that conception is a product of a mishmashed noumenal / phenomenal menage a trois involving one man, one woman, and one Supreme Being / god.
In fact, as Maharaj explained, it really involves a simple act of friction which results in the release of millions of sperm cells from a male's body and which enter a race to be the first to reach an egg in a woman's body.
If a human egg is fertilized by that process, then a nine-month period of the woman eating plants (or animals which ate plants) results in plant cells being converted into human cells which - if all goes normally - will result in a composite unity, which is all a human is.
No Supreme Being guides the process. To the contrary, scientist Szent-Gyorgyi explained it accurately: “What drives life is thus a little electric current, set up by the sunshine.” That allows unmanifested conscious-energy to be transferred from a free-ranging field of energy into a space formed by elements cycled into forming a temporary, elemental body.
So it goes like this: sunshine to plants to a pregnant woman's digestive system to the formation of a composite, three-part, unified traid which is (1) an elemental plant food body which (2) automatically circulates oxygen and which (3) automatically circulates conscious-energy as long as water and food continue to be consumed.
At some point, that process will end when mahasamadhi is taken; at that point, the elements will return to the universal pool of elements, the oxygen will return to the univeral pool of oxygen, and the conscious-energy will return to THAT, to the universal pool of no-longer manifested consciousness / conscious energy.
As for that conscious-energy which manifests: in its original form, it is the pure, universal consciousness prior to being corrupted via warped and insane programming, conditioning, etc.; prior to the mind parts of the brain being pumped full of nonsense and lies and complicated belief systems;
prior to persons being set up to be egotistical and arrogant and entitled and controlling and judgmental and believing that they are better-than "those others" that are taken to be "different" and therefore less-than;
and prior to losing any sense of the sameness and prior to losing the original sense of oneness beyond the imaginary multiplicity, a supposed mutiplicity which they will be taught by ignorance-dirven forebearers and by religion and by politicians and by business people.
It's now all made so damn complicated by those driven by the insanity of duality and explained by Yeshu'a who pointed out that "dual-minded persons are unstable in all ways."
No joke, Yeshu'a.
To be continued.
Please enter into the silence of contemplation.
