Good day, Peace-Wrecking Reactionary,
As you insist upon being called by an acronym[1], I have adopted one more suitable for you given your behavior here.
Your latest message leaves no doubt that what you are doing is intentional. I did not realize how dedicated you were to stopping the spread of peace-on-earth, spreading misinformation, attempting to lead the forum-goers astray, and even taking advantage of Richard’s demise to further your aims.
What better term for someone who reacted to the news that it is now possible to be free from the human condition, and peace-on-earth is very well a possibility in our lifetimes, by attempting to lead others away from it and casting aspersions on those who have this as their aim?
Fact: Richard’s descriptions are neither “dogma” nor “poetic metaphors” but experiential reports which are literal depictions of his experience. I have confirmed his reports of descriptions of pure intent with my own experiences and they line up marvelously, as have many others such as Vineeto, Peter, Kuba, Geoffrey, etc. That which is referred to by the term “pure intent” is something actual, which you have evidently never experienced or have long-ago forgotten.
Fact: My experiential corroborations of the actual existence and accessibility of pure intent are not derived from “believ[ing] everything I read from Richard” or from a “zeal to quote Richard” but from experientially probing and seeing for myself (viz.: Andrew - #1290 by claudiu).
Fact: That the universe actually and objectively exists is not a “view” or a “concept” but a fact, experientially ascertainable by anybody via having a genuine pure consciousness experience, wherein the actual flesh and blood body they actually are apperceives their own existence along with that of the universe itself.
Question: At this point I just have to stop and ask (and this is a genuine question): why on earth do you claim to be actually free, as in, experiencing the same actual freedom that Richard did and Vineeto, Peter, Geoffrey, Srinath, etc. do?
You claim “pure intent” is just a “poetic metaphor” and that it’s an incorrect view or concept to say that the universe (i.e. actuality) actually exists. Actuality is literally the place where actually free people live!
It sounds like you are experiencing some sort of condition that is just something totally different than actual freedom! Nothing you have written here indicates that you are experiencing the same thing. On what basis have you ascertained yourself to be experiencing the same thing?
If you are just straightforward and describe yourself as having reached some other end-goal that you think is more valuable than actual freedom, you can just go ahead and say that, and everyone will be far better informed and there will be no misleading. Instead you mingle words and mash concepts and attempt to mislead your fellow human beings. Why do this?
Fact: This level of egregious obloquy[2] beggars belief. Now Richard, Vineeto, Claudiu, Kuba, and anybody else who accurately describes their own experiences, actual freedom, PCEs, pure intent, and factually points out where others are misleading or being deceitful, are a “fundamentalist wing” that will “engineer the next holocaust”?? This is just the ages-old (beaten-to-death) “actualism is a cult” misconception, raised to the nth degree.
You have really shown your hand with this one. Your gimmick of being a neutral observer, graciously granting that people may follow what is written on the AFT site but are merely offering an alternative just for consideration, has been shattered. You clearly have a huge bone to pick with actualism proper and actual freedom itself.
Fact: The actualism method is not a “frantic search for happiness” that is done “as the body fades away”. Indeed this does sound irrational. The actualism method is simply the continuous enjoyment and appreciation of this moment of being alive, as outlined here and in various other places.
Conclusion: As you evidently not only are not actually free, but don’t even know what the actualism method is, it is clear that whatever this “path without resistance” is, it does not lead towards actual freedom.
But then again, this has been evident for some time already.
Cheers,
Claudiu
