Yea thanks for clarifying that, since I updated it a bit it often responds with direct quotes, but still also includes its own interpretation/summarization of its sources. However it did get quite good at generally using direct quotes through simple prompt engineering.
what is a pce
A Pure Consciousness Experience (PCE) is described as an experience marked by the absence of the ‘self’ or identity, allowing one to perceive the actual world directly and clearly. Here are some key descriptions and definitions of a PCE:
- Absence of ‘Self’: “The PCE is marked by the absence of ‘me’, the social-instinctual program, in other words, the absence of my ‘self’, the psychological and psychic identity that has taken residence within this flesh-and-blood body” (www.actualfreedom.com.au/actualism/vineeto/selected-correspondence/corr-actualfreedom.htm) .
- Sensory Perception and Clear Thinking: “A PCE is not another program or ‘filter’ but that it is an experience of pure sensual perception and clear thinking, completely unrestricted by any psychologic or psychic program whatsoever” (www.actualfreedom.com.au/actualism/vineeto/selected-correspondence/corr-actualfreedom.htm) .
- Magical Perfection and Purity: “In a PCE one is fully immersed in the infinitude of this fairy-tale-like actual world with its sensuous quality of magical perfection and purity where everything and everyone has a lustre, a brilliance, a vividness, an intensity and a marvellous, wondrous, scintillating vitality that makes everything alive and sparkling” (www.actualfreedom.com.au/actualism/vineeto/list-af/corr07b.htm) (www.actualfreedom.com.au/actualism/vineeto/selected-correspondence/corr-pce3.htm) .
- Temporary Nature: “A PCE is a temporary experience, wherein identity is in abeyance and not extinct, and thus by being latent can cast an ever-so-slight influence upon what is being experienced” (www.actualfreedom.com.au/richard/listafcorrespondence/listaf74e.htm) (www.actualfreedom.com.au/richard/listafcorrespondence/listaf74e.htm) .
- Touchstone for Actual Freedom: “A PCE is the one and only experience that makes me aware of and allows me to experience the actual world that lies hidden beneath the elaborate, confusing and ever-changing chimera created by the identity inside this body and a PCE is the one and only experience that can clearly guide me towards an actual freedom from the human condition” (www.actualfreedom.com.au/actualism/vineeto/list-af/corr16e.htm) .
These descriptions highlight the essence of a PCE as a profound and clear experience of the world, free from the distortions of the self, albeit temporary in nature.
