Ok! See the new version 
. Also not sure if you saw the box about sincerity on the bottom, to the right of the âsee the sillinessâ quote
Other changes:
I finally had a proper good look at this latest diagram and its awesome I really like it, the text boxes are great, lots of useful information in there and they really clarify all the steps.
For example I never quite understood the quote which comes from âset it asideâ box, the one that talks about activating delight. I was never quite sure how I would go about activating delight if I am feeling stuck but the way its presented on there with examples makes perfect sense now, so I just got something new from reading over the diagram once!
I think this current version definitely gives one enough to make a good start with applying the method.
The only 1 thing I cannot quite understand is why there is a red arrow coming from see the silliness and into feeling bad? Is it that whilst attempting to see the silliness I might end up getting more triggered?
Also the 2 steps now which allow one to move from feeling neutral back to feeling good are like the missing piece to my previous understanding.
So one either âadjustsâ oneself back to being felicity/innocuity via rememoration, (the more advanced option which becomes easier to do with time and practice)
Or one applies the basic step of finding the trigger and seeing the silliness.
Awesome!
Yea exactly. It happens in my experience. I am feeling caught up and stressed about some issue. I get back to neutral. I identify what caused me to stress about the issue. And then while evaluating It to see it as silly I find myself fully in the whirlwind of stress again. So then I have to rinse and repeat ⌠and if it keeps not working then I set it aside.
Yeah that makes sense, I think the problem was that I took the arrow coming out of the âsee sillinessâ box to imply that the silliness has already been seen. But I can see that there is essentially 3 possibilities from the âsee the silliness boxâ, :
1 - silliness seen
2 - cannot see silliness
3 - got triggered again by looking
Beautiful!
Wow! @claudiu you have done it!
This looks awesome . I just have to look a little deeper to
find a few new suggestion ( just kidding ), because you have spoiled us with your generous and open compliance.
Cheers
Putting a few of the banners together may elucidate this point:
This says that enjoyment and appreciation - that is, the actualism method itself - are facilitated by feeling as happy as harmless as possible.
Hi @Claudiu, is the below point somehow âhigh lightedâ on the diagram?, I was surprised to just read that from your own older post! It was a shocker again for me.
That means that feeling as happy and harmless as possible is not the actualism method. It merely facilitates the actualism method - it makes it easier to enjoy and appreciate.
This may be hard to accept at first because of its utter simplicity and counter-intuitive nature. What do you mean that the method is to enjoy and appreciate? I thought the method was to do all this stuff (realizing this moment is the only moment of being alive, a firm awareness of ongoing feelings, a deep-dive investigation into feelings, eliminating/minimizing the social identity, minimizing âgoodâ/âbadâ feelings, maximizing felicitous feelings, being naivete, etcâŚ), all so that I can enjoy and appreciate!
Not so. All that stuff - which is well worth doing by the way - is not the actualism method, but rather, itâs that which worked to allow feeling-beings in the past to apply the actualism method.
This means that, so long as you are enjoying and appreciating being alive, you donât have to do any of that stuff! Of course sooner or later you will find yourself sidetracked by this or that and then it does indeed come in handy to realize this is your only moment of being alive, pinpoint the moment of stopping to feel good, seeing how silly that is, and thus getting back to feeling good and thus enjoying (which is what the actualism method is). And, once there, you may find it sensible to investigate (not the actualism method itself) so that future occurrences of the same donât sidetrack you again (so that in the future you can continue to apply the actualism method more consistently).
Further, it means that whenever you are not enjoying and appreciating, you are not applying the actualism method.
It is amazing just how much it takes to get this point. It took me maybe three years since my first exposure to actualism? And then I forgot again until this year. It took me two trips halfway around the world for this point to stick =P.
Yes, thatâs why only the green box of the diagram is labeled the âactualism methodâ Note that everything else (pinpoint moment of not feeling good, seeing the silliness, investigating) is outside of that green box.
And thatâs why the diagram provides the quotes that enjoying & appreciating being alive is the actualism method.
Iâm not sure it could be any clearer!
I am going to read this everyday, âuntil the cows come homeâ !
Maybe, under or to the left of eaatmoba, you can write : "this and everything in the green box is the method and everything outside of the green box, to the right, is to help you to get back to the green box ". I know that is too wordy, but something along those lines, to save someone else 3 years of searching
You mean like something like this?
I think the visual depiction of the other things being outside of the green box, and their arrows leading into the green box, already makes this as clear as it could be
Well you were able to figure it out in only 12 days 
I donât think the issue is that the diagram isnât clear enough in this regards⌠itâs that the idea is so mindblowingly simple that it takes multiple repetitions of seeing it, in different forms, with some time in-between, before it clicks.
So in my consideration, adding more words that say the same thing to the diagram, will be pushing too much in the âredundantâ direction.
I could plaster the words âthe actualism method is specifically only the enjoying and appreciation portion of the diagramâ 30 times all over it, but it would not help convey the point⌠rather it would just make people ignore it.
Rather itâs that someone has to be sufficiently engaged and motivated, from their side, to peruse the materials thoroughly enough and to put it in practice, that it finally clicks for them. The diagram doesnât exist in a vacuum â there is the AFT site, this forum, the diagrams, simpleactualism, etc etc ⌠a sufficiently interested person will go through it all and if they are uncertain they can always post to ask for clarity, at which point an on-the-fly verbal explication from one of the members, will help resolve it for them as best as it can.
Itâs not that Iâm not open to suggestions anymore for the diagram - I am - but I donât think this one in particular will help.
However if others chime in with similar concerns then I may reconsider!
In any case Iâm glad to see it has clicked for you!
May be this one can stay:
âŚbut for me this one is too much, helping to clutter the diagram:
At most, the same concept could be added under the title âThe actualism methodâ of the green box in parentheses, replacing âEnjoying and appreciating this moment of being aliveâ with, for example, â(consistently enjoying and appreciating this moment of being alive is the method!)â.
thank you Claudiu, that is very helpful .
I am not sure if I have figured it out, but at least I have the right kind of questions/curiosity so I can figure it out, hopefully(honestly speaking, with sincere intent here) in less than 3 years 
I like to share something not directly related any changes to the diagram, but about âfiguringâ things out, in applying the method.
For the past 3-4 days, âIâ was trying to enjoying and appreciating this moment ( but I was very unsuccessful and feeling miserable about this inability and also in general). Then it dawned on me this morning ( around 5:30 am ), that the basic feeling good @geoffrey ( which âIâ was skipping) is the basic of eaatmoba.
And when this morning, I re-allowed feeling good, the eaatmoba came about by itself.
But for clarification and being honest with myself I ask here if what i am doing make sense or even ok or not?( âIâ am not easily willing to give this up, btw)
Here it goes:
I try to be aware of how âIâ feel, by paying attention to my lower belly area( area of naivete) and if there is anxiety or unease, I try to âcleanâ it (use the âtoolsâ) to get to feeling good again. I also bring up âHappy feelingâ from my lower belly to my head with inhalation and, take âfeeling goodâ from my head to my lower belly. ( kind of like chakra stuff, but I am not too familiar with nor have I practiced that in the past in any significant way).
And this immediately brings me back to feeling good .
I did this, this morning and for about 20 minutes or more( i am not sure how long it was, i.e. there was less time awareness) I was feeling very giddy and jovial, with some slight body movement, something that I had not experienced or that i can not remember experiencing before.
I feel like I can âlook forâ the sincere intent and some naivete and haietmoba, in the lower belly area; and a feeling of warmth, trust and everything is safeness ( lesser need to fight the world ) can be found there for me.
p.s. I will post this in my Journal as well .
I thought so too at first, but I found it dissatisfying to take away the green title text.
This way I see it as:
And even this level of repetition was apparently not enough, as Frank pointed out! So now we have a âNoteâ reminder as well to make it even more explicit.
Even so, I am sure people will still miss it, because it is so simple to grasp.
All that is to say, for me in my consideration, it doesnât rise to the level of too much clutter.
OK, no problem
Thanks you Cluadiu
