The Delusion of Being Human

''He has been working on the book you are about to read for over fifty years. It is literally his life’s work. What I found in my experiences of reading the book was that it is as if the book is a translating medium for the phenomena known as ‘human being’. In other words, I found that the book allowed me to make sense of the chaotic and confusing world of society, culture, and my own programming which is a byproduct of my culture and society. Since all cultures and societies, in whatever form, are violent and destructive almost all the citizens of such societies are motivated by various forms of violence and destruction. While attending undergraduate university, studying for a bachelor of arts in psychology, I found that the book both summarized, integrated, and transcended entire disciplines of knowledge such as psychology, sociology, biology, anthropology, and philosophy. This clarity brought about by the book came as a relief since the educational system seemed to just throw out information (indoctrinating propaganda) at students from all sorts of disciples and points of view without any emphasis on integration, and least of all, any questioning encouraged concerning the presuppositions underlying the various disciplines. The book allowed me to see that each and every single professor which I encountered had in some way gotten stuck, somewhere within a particular knowledge-story (thought-system) belonging to and constructed by the cultural-social enterprise. I could see, through the aid of the book, that even sociology professors who allegedly belong to a discipline concerned with questioning the ‘social-machine’ and not merely being a ‘slave to society’ had become, along with every other types of professors, slaves to their own knowledge (beliefs, conclusions, and reality-assumptions). Thus, from reading the book, the esteemed power belonging to authorities of any kind within the cultural-social enterprise to influence and contaminate me became gradually less and less of a possibility. One of the most important contributions of the book that I found, and what I predict other individuals will find as well in reading the book, is that it actually and specifically goes into great detail in order to be absolutely clear about various ‘principles’, so to speak, taught by various enlightened beings throughout the ages, especially those renowned contemporary teachers who have already died. In other words, often times a spiritual teacher will say “we are all one” or “there is no ego self”, but they never really explain how they arrived at such a realization, what steps they had to take, and what had to be seen-through and let go of before they could truly apprehend that ‘all is one’, ‘there is no doer’, ‘there is Only God’, and so on; these phrases are often used as mere slogans. The book The Delusion of Being Human provides those specific steps and the necessary apprehensions which must occur before one can come to know what enlightenment is (awakening to one’s True Nature). As the Signposter has mentioned to me many times “if someone cannot say it clearly, then it usually means they do not really know it”. The clarity of the Signposter’s writing is a testament to his understanding of psyche, society, and the Self (True Nature). The reason the Signposter is able to be so clear in his signposting (teaching) is that he does not have some ulterior motive to build up his ‘self-image/self-esteem’, to gain power, to gain a following, gain money, or gain anything whatsoever.
