FURTHER DISCUSSIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING SHAKESPEARE'S NON-DUAL QUOTES AND POINTERS 

More on . . .

"The Tale Told By An Idiot" 

Were Shakespeare around nowadays and witnessing what is happening in politics in the U.S., he might write: 

“Geez, and I thought I’d heard some tales told by an idiot back in my day!” 

And as for tales being told regarding “spiritual matters,” he'd see millions of seekers and saviors and knowers and would-be-sages and would-be-saints and would-be-gods and would-be-"eternal-existers" engaged in all sorts of doingness: 

meditating, praying, humming, chanting, reading holy texts, reading books by the big name teachers, burning this, ringing that, wearing this, sitting on that, kneeling here or there, and accumulating more and more knowledge (a.k.a., “learned ignorance”) and more and more exercises. 

Some will attach to dogma; some will attach to spiritual disciplines; but what has any of that to do with nirarga (natural) living? Sure, seek the Self and the Infinite Self, but understand that what “Realized Nisargans” realize is that what is called “the Self” is merely the pure witnessing and that no selfness or Selfness exists post-manifestation. 

That said, the information shared earlier, offering the consideration that everything in the relative is much ado about nothing, continues: 

So, searching began; seeking; doing; going; zooming; next, finding; understanding; awareness; and relaxing; and ultimately, it was realized that it was, indeed, all much ado about nothing . . . all nothing more than a lot of sound and fury. Only when the addiction to the sound and the fury ends can the joy and bliss of the silence begin. 

Those who believe in timelines would say those events covered “six decades in the life of one man.” The re-purified consciousness sees nothing more than the elements of a fable . . . a series of happenings all based in idiocy. Again, the words of the Advaitin William Shakespeare apply: 

“Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” 

Signifying . . . nothing. The invitation is to look at any 60-year period of happenings on one planet that is spinning away in a universe that has a 14-billion year history. The invitation is to look at all those happenings and to note how “very important” they were all considered to be when they were happening. 

The invitation is also to see that the happenings amounted only to so much sound and fury . . . with no importance or truth or reality involved at all. 

To understand that whatever persons take to be “something” or “something really important” is actually just much ado about nothing allows the nothingness to be understood. When the nothingness is understood, then “That Which Truly Is Everything” can be understood. When the functioning of the totality is understood, all things false are abandoned and peace just happens. 

Relatedly, the Advaitin poet also wrote, 

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts,” 

and 

“Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon a stage.” 

And then? 

"Out, out, brief candle." 

Enjoy the play, but know that the play is a play. Then and only then will you not be deluded and made miserable by the dualities of the relative existence. Then and only then can the peace you long for manifest and remain for the duration of the manifestation of the consciousness. 

Now, to continue the earlier exchange: 

Questioner: A question related to the practices is: what is readiness? You have referenced this before. It is clear from the interchange so far that practices and readiness may appear to be linked – but there is no causal relationship. 

Floyd: Correct – there’s no link whatsoever between readiness and practices, but another excellent question, so consider: practices are the stuff of ego-states; readiness is the condition that comes after the blocked consciousness of persons, clinging to ego-states as identities, is finally unblocked at least enough to discover that what they thought gave meaning and answers only provided a false illusion of meaning and only false answers; 

after the blocked consciousness is unblocked just enough to realize that their practices have been BS and are not working; after the consciousness is unblocked just enough to lead to a sense of disillusionment; after the blockage is lifted enough for the dissociation from misery and suffering to be lifted; and after the blockages lift enough to expose the errors and contradictions in their belief systems. 

At that point, which only a few will reach, the readiness might manifest, meaning the readiness to question, to discard nonsense and to see facts. And there are no practices that can unblock that which is blocked. It takes hearing consciousness speak, feeling a never-before-felt resonance, and a registering of the fact that what has been believed all along was nonsense. I've quoted Douwe before: 

"There are various religions [that] suffer from certain inherent limitations. They couch into fine-sounding words their traditional beliefs and ideologies, theological or philosophical. 

Believers, however, discover the limited range of meaning and applicability of these words, sooner or later. They get disillusioned and tend to abandon the systems, in the same way as scientific theories are abandoned, when they are called in question by too much contradictory empirical data." 

So again, what is involved is seeing that so-called "practices" were all for naught. That "seeing" alone sets the stage for readiness, but that does not imply a readiness / practices link; 

in fact, attachment to practices locks one into a position farther away from a readiness for Truth whereas seeing the futility of practices might set the stage for the readiness to seek the Truth. That is as close to a causal “relationship” as there is and is the only (relative) reason that the futility of doingness is being discussed in this series. 

Moreover, if You review the awarenesses that came to You early on, long before engaging in any practices, You will see that 

(1) practices had nothing to do with that which was sensed intuitively, early on, via the inner resource / inner guru and that (2) practices actually impeded and prolonged the Realization process and actually interfered with the process for all the years you were distracted by involvement with practices which prevented You from understanding that which the inner guru understood all along. 

Yet those persons who talk in their sleep could respond thusly: “Well, when I was a child, I broke both legs and I had to learn to walk after that accident. The accident ended up being helpful because it resulted in my learning to walk.” 

What is being ignored is that walking came naturally before the accident. Among persons, the “accident” is programming and conditioning and acculturation and domestication, which undo all that is natural. All of those "accidents" cripple people, but even then, persons need not learn more (via practices, for example) but need only unlearn it all. 

And unlearning is not an action or practice. It is merely seeing a lie as a lie and thereafter believing the lie no more. 

Every Monday and Thursday, the garbage here is discarded. There is no special, ritualistic "practice" required for the garbage to be removed. There is merely a willingness not to cling to the garbage but to allow it to be removed. 

(In this case, the trash will be removed by those who are paid to dispose of garbage. Among Advaitins, it is the Realized teacher that disposes of the garbage if one is willing to let it go. Those who cling to their dogma or practices or disciplines—which happens with some 97% of all persons—will never be free of the burden of dragging their garbage about and stinking up every place they go with the putrid smell of rotten concepts and fetid beliefs and rancid ideas that are all false and all the relative stuff of ego-states and egotism.) 

Therefore, the pointer is offered again: You—nor anyone else—had to do everything you did; in fact, everything you did (including the seeking out of all the things that were not based in the already-present understandings of the inner guru) worked to the detriment of Realization. 

Questioner: Thx – incredible to discover this huge conceptual elephant in the living room – that was simply not seen before; however, not an easy "AHA". As seekers we are as addicted to practices and their promised rewards as crack addicts are to their drug.

Floyd: Indeed. Next, several considerations are all visitors:

Are you resting in the cool blue shade? If not now, when?

Are you relaxing? If not now, when?

Are you attached to dogma or to the practices and disciplines associated with what Maharaj called, "kindergarten spirituality"? When will you transition that level and move beyond to a knowledge-free, work-free, identity-free, concept-free, duality-free, supernatural-free, unnatural-free, magical-thinking-free and totally natural manner of abidance? If not now, when? 

Are you still accumulating, both tangible and conceptualized intangibles? When will you discard it all and be truly independent and free? If not now, when? 

To be continued.

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 god / 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.]

FURTHER DISCUSSIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING SHAKESPEARE'S NON-DUAL QUOTES AND POINTERS 

More on his quote regarding 

"insisture, course, proportion, season, form, office, custom, and in all line of order”

A visitor asked: What exactly does Nisarga mean? 

The reply: the Nisarga Yoga is a means to Full Realization, offering a direct but very specific route to an understanding that results in a natural way of AS IF living (that is, to a natural way of functioning). 

That leads to living / functioning spontaneously for the remainder of the manifestation, 

(1) understanding that the “world” is illusory but 

(2) living as if any of “all this” matters. (Thus, employment can happen even without the assumption of an "employee" persona.) 

Consider again the non-dual poet William Shakespeare's words mentioned earlier: “The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre observe degree, priority, and place. Insisture, course, proportion, season, form, office, and custom, in all line of order.” 

Natural living recognizes that the laws of nature have the right of "insisture": either 

(a) life is lived naturally according to the “customs” of the universe 

or 

(b) persons violating the natural “order” will collapse and self-destruct. The realized move through the relative existence in a manner that is fixed by nature even though they appear to be moving as they please. 

Rather than trying to exert any force, they accept that happenings happen. Among the realized, nature has “priority” over efforts to control or manipulate. The realized abide within the framework of the natural laws that have “insisture,” understanding that all is to happen per the natural order and understanding that all is to happen in “proportion.” 

Persons, on the other hand, seek to control and manipulate so they will not have to accept “proportion.” They work to accumulate and to have more and to appear to be greater than what is proportional. They imagine that they have an actual need for more than is proportional or necessary. 

The realized move along lines that are “customary” rather than along paths that are unnatural or supernatural. To think supernaturally is to think magically, and magical thinking is delusional. 

Shakespeare also said: “ . . . There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” 

Understand the implications of that pointer via syllogistic reasoning: 

“Good vs. bad” duality can only happen via thinking. 

If there is no thinking, then there can be no (belief in) duality. 

Thinking is of the “mind.” 

The presence and use of “the mind” leads to thinking which, in turn, leads to dualistic beliefs. 

If the intent is to end belief in duality, then thinking must end. 

If thinking is to end, then “the mind” must end. 

To put to an end "the mind"—that is, to belief in the false content that has been stored in a portion of the brain—does not end the brain; nor must the brain's functioning end. To put an end to "the mind" does not mean that the consciousness must un-manifest. 

The understanding in this regard is: 

Consciousness is rooted in the Absolute. The brain is rooted in the elements. The "mind" is rooted in wrong programming and faulty conditioning and lies and concepts and ideas and superstitions and falsehoods. 

Focus on that pointer for the moment: Consciousness is rooted in the Absolute. The brain is rooted in the elements. "The mind" is rooted in wrong programming and faulty conditioning and lies and concepts and ideas and superstitions and falsehoods. 

It was mentioned earlier that the Advaitin poet Shakespeare said, “ . . . There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so," indicating that the brain can continued to function and the consciousness can continue to be manifest but that if belief in duality is to end, then the “mind” must end. 

The “mind” ends, it was shown, when belief in the content of that storehouse is seen to be nothing more than an accumulation of ideas and concepts and beliefs that were dreamed up by “others,” taught to you, and then accepted by you as truth with no questioning at all. 

Some pointers regarding the mind shall be reviewed, therefore, and the process of eliminating belief in unquestioned nonsense can begin thusly: 

Efforts to quiet the mind or to ignore thoughts cannot succeed with any consistency. Only when full realization strikes, only when the "Oh my gosh!" moment happens—only then does the mind dissolve. What to consider meanwhile? It is true that, if you are instructed to "avoid thinking about an elephant," the only thing that you can think about is an elephant. So, what is the answer? The answer is not to try to be rid of a disturbing thought. 

The answer is to ask when a thought is interrupting the peace, “WHO is thinking that thought?” That is, “Which of my assumed ego-states is generating that thought?” Or “Which is driving the words I am speaking? Or which is determining the actions that I am engaged in?” 

Only by relinquishing belief in the false identities that inspire thoughts can the thoughts come to an end. Only by abandoning the "this" and "that" in such beliefs as "I am this" (role) or "I am that" (role) will the peace and quiet of only the "I Am" ever happen. 

The "mind" is the instrument that supports your personality with thoughts, and those thoughts are the instruments that will forever prevent "peace of mind"; in fact, there is no such thing as "peace of mind." There is only peace if freed of the "mind." 

You are in a play, playing a role, and believing that the role and the play are both real. Why would you believe such nonsense? Because "your mind" is the playwright, the author of every scene. Yet there is no "your mind" really. There is only "their mind" which you have adopted and now believe is your own. 

When Maharaj said, "You are not in the world . . . the world is in you," what did he mean? He meant, "You are not in the world," that is, there is no "you" that is real or in any world. "The world is in you" means that the world is in your "mind" and is nothing more than a figment of your programming-and-conditioning-induced imaginings. 

Here, there is no "one" who believes anything, so I can most certainly not want others to believe what I believe since here, there is nothing that is believed.

Instead, everything that is said here is to be used by seekers to be rid of another false belief until all ideas and emotional intoxication and beliefs are gone and nothing remains but the unstated understanding. 

Only then can the constant churning and re-churning of the false beliefs of the corrupted "mind" finally cease, after which the remainder of the relative existence will unfold under the auspices of the organic, elemental brain rather than a culture-generated, nonsense-filled "mind."

To be continued.

FURTHER DISCUSSIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING SHAKESPEARE'S NON-DUAL QUOTES AND POINTERS 

Shakespeare's "Humours" (Continued)

Yesterday it was mentioned that two major peace-generating changes can come to the relative existence if persons do not assume roles. That applies to any and all roles, but we’ll look at the roles of “The Husband” or “The Wife” for today’s example because the playing of those roles can lead to stress, arguing, chaos, and even murder. 

(That does not mean that others roles can’t have the same effects. They do.) 

CHANGE NUMBER ONE 

1. If one gives up playing the role of “The Husband,” or if one gives up playing the role of “The Wife,” then the first result to manifest will be freedom . . . independence. 

To the masses, that is not a “selling point” for realization and abandonment of role-playing because the masses do not really want to be free. The majority want some institution or some person or persons to take care of them. 

As regular visitors to this site understand, there are nine basic personality types, each with its own desires and fears and propensities which determine thoughts and words and actions. 

The Type Six is the most common of all types with 50% of all humans on the planet having a Type Six Personality as their primary type. 

The Type Six is called “The Loyalist” or “The Loyal Skeptic.” Because they are fear-based, they are security-oriented types. The result is that they are drawn to jobs which give them power and even firepower. 

Many end up joining the military which provides housing, food, and clothing as well as the right to bear arms. Others will be advocates of such institutions, supporting those who they think are protecting them. Many Type Sixes will marry a Type Six who is in the military or aligned with some other "we'll be responsible for taking total care of you" institution. 

After they leave the military, many who are Type Sixes will join a police force in order to get the funds needed for food, clothing, shelter and, in many cases, transportation, being allowed to use their police vehicles 24 / 7 because they are “always on call.” 

Eighty percent of all police in the U.S. served in the military first. It was there that they were trained to complete their stated mission, namely, “to seek out and destroy.” 

Other Sixes end up in careers where they can seek authority and control while being taken care of.

Their phobic thought-life generates anxiety and suspicion as well as fear, and when those traits are combined, they often lead Sixes to adopt the philosophy that “the worst is yet to come,” “most cannot be trusted and are out to harm us,” “the best defense is a strong, powerful offense,” “shoot first and ask questions later,” 

“collateral damage is just a fact of life, necessary in order to protect the majority” “force can only be a deterrent if used and demonstrated regularly,” “there’s safety in numbers,” and “others - especially those different from us - must be smashed or they’ll smash us.” 

The result, again, is being co-dependent and dependent (and therefore not independent / not free). 

And that’s 50% of all persons on the planet, but that’s not all. Type Fives and Sevens can adopt Type Six traits and Type Six thinking and Type Six talking and Type Six behavioral patterns. 

Type Nines and Threes can also adopt Type Six traits, and Type Fours - if they assume Type Six belief systems - can develop a Borderline Personality. 

Next, the assumption of any role requires a second role player to be willing to play the dependent and co-dependent counterpart role which all roles require: there can be no “Employee” without an “Employer”; there can be no “Leader” without a “Follower”; there can be no “Soldier” without a “Commander,” etc., etc., etc. 

Thus, most persons on the planet are driven, subconsciously, by a personality type to be dependent and co-dependent. Which type rebels against that and is most likely to be interested in realization and independence and freedom and rejection of all phony roles? The Type Four. 

And how many of those are on the planet? Only one-half of 1% of the 7.5 billion persons on the planet.

Of those 7.5 billion persons on the planet, counting true Type Sixes and those who have assumed Type Six traits, an estimated 5.625 billion are driven by anxiety and insecurity and thus engage in power-seeking and dependency-seeking. 

Of those 7.5 billion persons on the planet, an estimated 35 million may occasionally exhibit certain Type Four traits like those shown by Maharaj in his later phase, but - per Maharaj’s estimate / guesstimate – only a four-digit number of persons will have rejected all learned ignorance and all insanity and become fully realized and totally independent at an given moment. 

Only those who have given up all role-playing can reach that free of ignorance and free of insanity state. 

CHANGE NUMBER TWO

2. The next difference which can come is being free of being driven by egotism (which generates the sense of different-from-ment and which leads to a self-perception of better-than-ment and which, in turn, leads to conflict and chaos and fighting and war).

How to bring about that difference? 

To use our “Husband” / “Wife” example, if one does not assume the false identity of “The Husband” or “The Wife,” then the next chaos-and-disharmony-generating event which always follows role-assumption cannot happen. That event? 

Upgrading one’s own roles and downgrading the state of all other role-players. 

For example, shortly after the ego-state of “The Husband” is assumed (or any other ego-state as well) then ego-defense mechanisms (such as egotism) will be triggered and the roles of “The Husband” will self-elevate or self-upgrade itself to the role of “The Super Husband.” 

Now all that was needed to believe that the role of “The Husband” was a true identity was finding someone willing to play the co-dependent counterpart role of “The Wife,” but once egotism upgraded ”The Husband” to the status of “The Super Husband,” then what is required for a belief in that upgraded role to continue is a “Super Wife” to play the co-dependent counterpart role. 

Well, both of those roles are false. There’s no such thing as “The Wife,” much less “The Super Wife,” so “The Super Husband” becomes frustrated, convinced that he’s not getting what he deserves – and what his belief system requires; thereafter, a sense of separation develops which will eventually lead to physical separation. 

Similarly, when “Wife” upgrades her self to “Super Wife,” it becomes obvious to “her” that the person she is with is not anything even close to “The Super Husband” she deserves (and requires). Hence, “I’m leaving you. You’re not good enough for me.” And, subconsciously, “I'm off to find a “Super Husband” who will provided what I want and deserve. Adios, loser!” 

Consider the post-realization possibility: 

Humans can go along with the culture’s game and can marry without assuming the false identities which the culture would have them assume. That is why it is said here that “husbanding” and “wifing” can happen without assuming the false identities of “Husband” and “Wife” and then upgrading those to the false identifications of “Super Husband” and “Super Wife.” 

And the same goes for the thousands of other roles which cultures all around the globe assign to persons or which are assumed by persons. 

Every assumed role requires constant effort to try to keep the counterpart player required and to process all of the thoughts generated by each role and to continue all of the talk generated by that role and all of the actions generated by that role. 

In the case of humans who reach an adult age, it has been seen here while working with them that most have between 70-80 roles being played during any given period of years. 

See how exhausting that is. Then see why so few will ever realize and be free of all that exhaustion because they do not have even the slightest clue about what the game is that is sapping them mentally and verbally and behaviorally and emotionally. 

Again, Shakespeare: “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and [each] plays many parts.” 

Yet even the greatest actors eventually have enough and retire from the stage. The masses, on the other hand, stay on the stage and assume one role after another and engage in one exhausting act after another until the very end of the manifestation.

If you have not left the stage, how exhausted are you? I have found that one statement reveals to me whether or not a seeker is truly “ready,” that statement being “I’m tired . . . really tired.” 

As Shakespeare had his character Hamlet say, “The readiness is all.” If that state of readiness is not reached and recognized, then the phoniness on the stage will continue, along with the exhaustion of playing so many energy-draining roles. 

To be continued.

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 god / 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.]

THE NON-DUALITY MESSAGE HAS LONG BEEN WIDESPREAD BUT IT HAS SELDOM BEEN UNDERSTOOD EITHER THEN OR NOW

TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS

ANNOUNCEMENTS 

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 new 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.) 

The point in this series is that the non-dual message has long been widespread but has seldom been understood either then or now. So, to move on . . . 

FURTHER DISCUSSIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING SHAKESPEARE'S NON-DUAL QUOTES AND POINTERS 

Shakespeare's "Humours" (Continued) 

This was shared yesterday: 

As the non-realized wander or ricochet through the relative, they take their “world” to be a stage (to use the realized poet’s words). Their imagined “world,” then, is conceived to be a stage and “all the men and women, merely players.” 

Each plays a role in the Theater of the Lie, in the Drama of Fiction, and eventually they all become convinced that they are the roles being played. 

The pain and suffering which come with personality identification(s) have been seen. Why? Because their desire agendas and their fear agendas all generate a sense of separation which leads to conflict and chaos on the “personal,” local, state, national, and international stages where those roles are played. 

Now, non-dualists do not speak of any literal benefits and literal perks and literal advantages and literal gains which come with realization because there is no “one” to receive any of those. 

Yet there is a relative existence and it is the only existence available during the manifestation, and that existence - via movement along a “path” to freedom from insanity or via a “journey to realization” which leads to freedom from learned ignorance - well, that existence can unfold in ways which generate far fewer problems and far less suffering than might otherwise mark and “mar” a relative existence. 

In fact, in the end, Maharaj’s focus was on the phenomenal existence, not on some Noumenal existence. Why? 

Realized or not, the Noumenal existence will “take care of itself” because all that happens post-manifestation happens spontaneously and automatically and naturally without any possible input or effect at all. 

The only changes which can be impacted by human action must happen during the relative existence.

PHENOMENAL / NOUMENAL SIDEBAR 

Maharaj said:  

“First of all you identify something as being good or bad for yourself. Then, in an effort to acquire good or to get rid of the bad, you have invented a God. Then you worship such a God and . . . you pray to that God for something good to happen to you.” 

The realized "get" that. They understand that, generally-speaking, all is energy / matter; that energy / matter cannot be created (so it has always been); and that energy / matter cannot be destroyed (so it will always be). 

Understanding all of that, it becomes clear that no “god” invented mankind and that, instead, mankind - out a duality-based desire to acquire good or to get rid of the bad - selfishly and self-servingly invented (i.e., just dreamed up) gods and goddesses. 

Those dreamed up gods and goddesses were believed to have specialties . . . some in charge of fertility, some in charge of war, some in charge of the sea, some in charge of agriculture, some in charge of revelry and festivity and pleasure and wine, some in charge of healing, some in charge of bringing messages from the gods to humans, some in charge of judging and punishing, etc.

Those assuming the “earthly role of message-bringer” (a.k.a, self-appointed priests) told people that, if they looked carefully, the gods were of three types: 

“Creator Gods,” “Sustainer Gods,” and “Judge / Destroyer / Punisher Gods.” 

The latter gods could destroy enemies threatening holy communities or could destroy bad people who lived in holy communities but were not behaving in holy ways.

Later on, humans would be influenced by the beliefs of Abraham who came up with a new concept claiming that the multiple gods had been inventions of humans and that, actually, there is only “one true god" (as if he was not the inventor of that idea).

It took awhile, but that notion caught on, with one rub: 

All of the specialties of the earlier gods were reportedly handled by this one, new, all-knowing, all-powerful, omnipresent “Super God,” so he was “The God of Creation,” “The God of Sustenance,” and “The God of Judging and Destroying and Punishing,” all-in-one, the first example of the super-size-that marketing technique. (McDonald's, say "Thank you, Abraham.")

And that is how the present "One True But Totally Schizophrenic Personality and Borderline Personality God" of 4.3 billion Jews, Christians and Muslims came into being, a God who can be said to have created you and who can be said to love you unconditionally but who is nevertheless willing to send those he supposedly created and those he supposedly loves unconditionally into an eternity of punishment and pain and suffering if they disappoint him. 

(When humans invent concepts, they are historically a real doozie / doozy - meaning, "troublesome" or "problematic" or even "extraordinary.") 

When those of us in Ms. Myrtle’s Evangelical Baptist Sunday School class (aged 4 and 5 usually) were told that God loves us unconditionally but also told that god will send us to the physical and mental and emotional torment of hell, of course my hand went up. 

At 5, I did not understand per se “logic” and “rationality” and “passing down ignorant concepts from thousands of years ago,” but I did understand when I was hearing bullshit that made no sense. 

Yet being logical at times without even knowing that word, I did know when I heard Ms. Myrtle pass on what she had been taught in that same church that it was (a) in the realm of possibility or was (b) total BS. 

However, I was not logical enough to restrain myself even after the many times my classmate Betty Ames was sent to the sanctuary and to find my dad and to tell him that Ms. Myrtle wants him downstairs immediately, after which he would be told that I was disturbing her class. At that point, he would take me into the hallways and beat me with the buckle end of his belt for questioning anything reported to me by an authority figure. 

Later, back home, he would tell me that he had whipped me like that because he loved me, and I concluded, “Damnation, you really are godly, aren’t you?!” 

In my book, so much for anything "Noumenal," but complete and unassailable abandonment of that only came completely years later. I would still have much work to do before the chains of programming, acculturation, etc. were completely broken and fell away. In the meanwhile?

Dad and all his fellow Evangelicals made the "god / loving / punishing linkage” very clear, but not clear enough to stop me from years of being driven by the repetition compulsion to repeat those earlier experiences, to continue to deal with religious persons who were just as brutal as he was, and to fall into the Stockholm Syndrome trap and normalize the behaviors of my tormentors and their insane agendas.

During those early years, the focus was always on the Noumenal because I was taught that “Life’s short, but heaven or hell will be eternal.” 

During Maharaj’s early years as he tried to attract a Hindu audience to the loft to sneak some nisargan-related non-dual pointers into the Hindu activities he led there, he was also more focused on the Noumenal. 

Later, his focus would shift to the relative and how that existence could be impacted via realization. 

Early on, he dealt with Self-Enquiry and seeking to know "the Real Self, the Infinite Self, the Supreme Self," etc. 

Later, he would make clear that there is no post-manifestation Self-ness any more than there is any relative existence self-ness. 

Thus, he would eventually encourage seekers to give up the search for all those Self Identities and concentrate their efforts on finding out who they are not, that is, seeing how false all of their phenomenal assigned and assumed self identities truly are. 

So, any literal benefits or literal perks or literal advantages or literal gains which come with realization aside, there can indeed be some changes in the way that the relative existence will unfold if realization (freedom from ignorance and insanity) happens. 

As noted above, post-realization, that existence can unfold in ways which generate far fewer problems and far less suffering than might otherwise mark and “mar” a relative existence if one can be freed from being driven by (1) a nonsensically-programmed and conditioned mind and freed from being driven by (2) the subconscious agendas of false personality identification(s). 

Tomorrow: By way of specific illustration, there will be a discussion of two major changes which will come to the relative existence if persons do not, for example, assume the roles of “The Husband” or “The Wife.” 

To be continued.
