“Doer and beer” I see as a maybe useful description of what happens in an EE, and especially in that ongoing EE that is the experience of out-from-control. The ascendency of the beer. Because that’s what it’s like. Although let me quickly qualify this by saying that, in my report and my answers to the questions that followed its publication, I stated I wasn’t sure that the experience ‘I’ had, in that last week, could properly be labelled ‘out-from-control’. Since then I have come to accept that it might as well, seeing that if not, then I simply don’t know what out-from-control is, having then never experienced it.
More generally, about words such as ego soul being I me etc.:
Actualism is experiential. Words are roadsigns, only rightfully put there once it is known where the road leads. They don’t “capture the experience” and expecting them to do so is already expecting too much. There is an experience, and that’s it. It might just happen that, if a description of the experience is in order, some word might fit it better than some other.
Now about what I really like in Srinath’s post:
There are words there (bolded for convenience) that could be said to be more evocative, more properly descriptive, and ultimately useful (as descriptions), compared to words like ego, soul, etc.
This is not a condemnation of the use of such words as ego and soul, especially for the purpose of communication (to people without experiential referent), or explanation (to satisfy intellectual needs for systems).
Anyway all actualist reports, all actually free people’s words are only meant, in the end, as elements for the prima facie case people might need to make prior to allowing themselves to act on their own experience.
Then there is the lodestone, the lighthouse, the flame.
Then the voyage is under way.
