@moderators : feel free to remove the “(Feeling Good)” qualifier from this post’s title to make it not misleading to readers (I do not have the permissions to edit it now).
Feeling good, the earthly-cum-still feeling about being here (rather than somewhen/somewhere else), is quite enjoyable to me. I have not made up my mind, one way or the other, as to whether I can get complacent about it all and stop going further. I remember Richard’s “bester” quote, and ‘uplevelling’ one’s baseline. Why would I not uplevel my baseline? Why would I, eventually, not want to get as close to the PCE as possible? We shall see.
Feeling good 24x7 is already rather radical to contemplate and actually succeed at being.
By the way, FWIW, Richard has often written words implying that actualism method == feeling good, for example (though here he also treats ‘feeling good’ and ‘felicitous/ innocuous feeling’ equivalently!):
RESPONDENT: I don’t understand the AF method instructions.
RICHARD: The actualism method is remarkably simple in practice:
• [Richard]: ‘It is really very, very simple (which is possibly why it has never been discovered before this): one felt good previously; one is not feeling good now; something happened to one to end that felicitous/ innocuous feeling; one finds out what happened; one sees how silly that is (no matter what it was); one is once more feeling good’.

Commonly Raised Objections The Actualism Method Is Too Difficult
Re: commentary regarding the original post - I thought it was interesting how for ‘Geoffrey’ (especially in hindsight, after becoming newly free) it amounted to enjoying & appreciating. He didn’t even explicitly consider ‘out from control VF’ for instance. I also took particular note of how for ‘him’ there was no ‘morality’ or ‘pressure’ or ‘effort’ (even an explicit ‘commitment’) and it was all easy and ‘natural’ (quite probably because of PCEs, via his “the correct application of the [actualism] method was through the ‘naive remembrance’/the ‘presentiation’ of the PCE” characterization of the actualism method).
