In the strongest terms possible, I denounce the spiritual teaching of non-duality. I am telling you, it is an evil teaching that inhibits spiritual growth and spiritual awareness. Do you think for one minute—if you are on the path to becoming enlightened, or what is the point and purpose of your desire to seek out a guru, or a satsang, or go to a church? What is the point and purpose of you doing that? What is the end goal? If the end goal happens to be to become spiritually enlightened, to become more aware, to become closer to God, to have greater spiritual knowledge, to be able to be more prepared and more worthy to help others—if it is any of those that I just mentioned, the teaching of non-duality will preclude you from achieving any of those outcomes. It severs the progression of spiritual knowledge and wisdom by teaching the false teaching that Advaita means “everything is one.”
The crux of non-duality is the presence of evil, and they like to avoid that subject. When that subject is unavoidable, they address it as, “You just don’t see things correctly.” If you say you see things correctly, they continue marginalizing evil to the point where they will brainwash you into thinking evil is not evil—that, in fact, it’s just another delusion on your part.
I can assure you evil is not a delusion. I can assure you that evil does exist. I can assure you that a one-year-old child does not deserve to get beaten to death. I can assure you that a three-year-old child does not deserve to get burned with cigarette burns all over it. I can assure you that a crying baby does not need to be slammed against a wall, breaking its neck, and thrown down the stairs. I can assure you that an 11-year-old girl does not need to get raped by a 40-year-old man, and then have her head cut off and buried underneath the rear concrete patio. I can assure you that all those things are evil.
I can assure you that while you’re laying on the ground in a bloody mess and someone keeps kicking you in the teeth until all of your teeth fall out, you’re not going to react with, “This is just God, and I love every minute of this. This is a wonderful experience.” And if you’re a man, after they get done with you and they rape you, you aren’t going to say, “Oh, this is just another experience of God.” I’m sure you’re not going to react that way.
Your willful ignorance, your willful avoidance of understanding what evil is, contributes to evil. You cannot spend your life in a lovey-dovey attitude that evil doesn’t exist and listen to these lunatics or these evil gurus who are simply promoting the teachings of evil. You can’t participate in that and think that there are no consequences. You cannot be a bystander and watch some little child being abused, when you could actually do something to stop that, but you don’t—you just smile on and say, “Well, this is just non-duality. This is God.” I can assure you that if that’s your attitude, there’s something seriously wrong with you. And if you do not change or repent, you will never be one with God. This I can assure you.
Let me explain evil so it is not assumed to be a mistake under the false teaching of non-duality. God the Creator, the Absolute, is responsible for everything He creates. And so, whatever God does, if it turns out to be something that is unintended, then God is an idiot. On the other hand, if the intention of God is to rape little girls and little boys or burn them with cigarettes, then I can assure you that that particular God is a demon. I can tell you for a surety, I am better than that God. At some point in the future, when I’m beyond this grave or this life, I will be better than that God. So I would never worship that God, because that God is either an idiot or a devil.
A God cannot absolve itself from mistakes; therefore, it must claim responsibility for whatever it produces. Therein lies the problem, because evil does exist. You cannot ignore it. Non-duality will brainwash you to the point where you just simply put it out of your mind, or it brainwashes you to think, “Well, it just is what it is, it’s no big deal.” It basically creates an environment within your awareness to disallow you to be fully aware. And if you are disallowed from being fully aware, do you think for one minute an unaware person is going to become enlightened? I can assure you the opposite of that is true: no person that is unaware ever becomes enlightened. Ever. Never.
Non-duality is the most predominantly taught principle on the planet Earth at this particular time. Even in Christianity, they don’t understand what’s going on. They understand evil exists, but they don’t know what to make of it because they cannot understand where the devil came from. They cannot understand where evil came from, because they, too, think everything was created by God. And so, in a way, they profess to be dualistic, but they experience a cognitive dissonance because, in fact, the devil coexists with God, and they have no answer for that. The Eastern philosophies, teachings, yogis, and gurus practice a cognitive dissonance that evil is simply not what it appears to be—when, in fact, it is exactly what it appears to be. And so, you are being taught to be unaware. You are being taught principles that preclude you from becoming spiritually enlightened.
There is zero possibility that a god that creates evil deserves to be worshipped by me. Maybe you’re okay with worshipping evil; I am not. I have experienced evil firsthand in my life, so don’t tell me evil is the flip side of the same coin. Don’t tell me that, because I know different. I have tasted the wrath of evil, and I have tasted the sweet love of God, and I know the difference. I know there is a difference, and I am not delusional, as you evil teachers of spirituality would like to say. I’m just telling every one of you individuals, if you should ever watch this video, that if you are being taught by a guru and that guru cannot answer you in the same way I am, that guru is after power, is after money, is after prestige, or simply wants to pervert the ways of God.
Either way, they’re not someone you should be following if your desire is to become spiritually enlightened, if your desire is to know God, or if your desire is to understand what reality truly is. If those are your goals and your desires, you’re not going to find it there. You are not going to come closer. In fact, the first day of your life that you attend a satsang meeting, or a meeting with some spiritual master, that first day is the first day that you go downhill in your awareness. That day is the first day that you start descending upon the path of unawareness, because that’s what they teach.
Advaita does not mean “everything is one.” The original author that penned the word—or whatever it was in the Sanskrit thousands of years ago—that person understood what Advaita meant, and that’s why they said it was “not two.” Some idiot, Adi Shankara, some 800 years ago—some 20-something kid with a fantastic, genius brain—was seduced by evil and purposefully misinterpreted the meaning of Advaita. He’s worshipped today as some great master when, in fact, all he was was a genius. That’s all. Just because you have a fantastic brain doesn’t make you closer to God.
Do you think for one minute, from the Christian point of view of Lucifer, do you think for one minute Lucifer is an idiot? Or do you think Lucifer is so intelligent that it’s unimaginable from a human perspective to understand the intelligence of this god called Lucifer? You don’t get to the point of where Lucifer is by being stupid; you get there by being evil. So if you worship intelligence instead of the love of God, then you will follow people like Adi Shankara. You will follow the teachings of these people with doctorate degrees teaching spirituality. You will not follow a person that understands God. You will not follow a person that has the love of God in their heart. No, no—you will follow and worship the physical brain of intelligence. You will not follow the spiritually inclined, those that love God.
Non-duality is an evil teaching. It is a teaching that precludes you from getting closer to God. It is a teaching that precludes you from being aware. If that is your cup of tea, don’t watch my videos, because I’m telling you straight up: it is a lie. It is a teaching designed from evil sources to create cognitive dissonance within the heart and soul of tender, green, spiritual people. And they pamper these people into being like children. You have a satsang group with hundreds of people all sitting there in this feeling of, “Oh, it’s so lovely, it’s just wonderful, everything is so good. All the words of the guru master are so wonderful to me.” They sit there in meditation while the teaching is going on and feel this love, and they’re like pampered little children that never grow up.
If that’s what you desire, then don’t watch my videos, because I do not do that. I teach you the truth. Make no mistake, the love of God is a greater love than you can possibly imagine. It isn’t the love of ignorance that is predominantly taught throughout the world. It is a love that has answers as to why evil exists, and why it cannot be attached to God. God did not create evil; there is no evil in God. But you can’t understand that because you believe in non-duality. As long as that belief is in your heart and in your mind, you cannot bridge the gap. You cannot get beyond, you cannot experience the paradigm, and you cannot become enlightened.
Anyways, thank you for watching. I hope it means something to you. Thanks.
