Hi all,
This may be an apt reminder that ‘PWR’ is not talking about an actual freedom from the human condition as presented on The Actual Freedom Trust when he promulgates his method to reach the “liberation” (link) he says he achieved. Viz:
PWR: Why would I need pure intent now? (link)
RICHARD: Pure intent is a manifest life-force; a genuinely occurring stream of benevolence and benignity that originates in the perfect and vast stillness that is the essential character of the infinitude of the universe. (link)
PWR: Yes, Richard and I are not talking about the same intention. For him, willpower was not necessary… [Emphasis added]. (link)
In fact, Richard is not talking about intention at all when he describes pure intent but about “a genuinely occurring stream of benevolence and benignity” that is existing outside the human condition.
Just because someone uses the words “my new condition as an actually free man” (link) does not mean that he has either the theoretical nor the experiential understanding of the words he is attributing to himself. In his case it means he is trying to muddy the waters and lead people astray for his own ostentatious purpose, made obvious by the fact that he has neither corrected, admitted nor even relabelled his fraudulent claim of living in the same condition as the discoverer of an actual freedom.
Additionally, the very fact that he urges his correspondents to remain quiet and anonymous (link) regarding talking about the genuine actual freedom – the qualities of which many experienced in their own pure consciousness experiences – speaks volumes about his underlying agenda – to stop the genuine peace-on-earth in its tracks. The very belief he presents as justification is just as non-sensical as it is untenable, and shows that he has no clue what an actual freedom is – because becoming actually free is the very ending of the passionate illusion of ‘I and ‘me’ and thus ‘my’ pernicious existence.
Richard: ‘If I may point out? An actual freedom from the human condition entails the extinction of identity (‘I’ as ego and ‘me’ as soul) in toto – which means the entire affective faculty is extinguished as well – and not just ‘a direct perception of this moment’. And I oft-times mention that … that this is what the words ‘actual freedom’ mean (I ought to know what they mean as I coined the phrase).
You are on a hiding to nowhere trying to re-define what my phrase means. (Richard, AF List, No. 12d, 22 Nov 2000)
How then can a physical body, free of the passionate influence of the illusion of both ‘I’ and ‘me’ (controller and psyche) be in any way effected by any feeling beings’ psychic emanations of their illusionary ‘selves’, when it is obvious, for anyone who had a PCE, that no illusionary psyche exists in actuality, neither mine nor yours? I only meet flesh-and-blood bodies.
PWR: … all you have to do is exert your willpower to stop believing in something that does not exist … (link)
Exerting willpower has never helped anyone to stop believing in anything because feelings cannot be stopped by willpower (believing means fervently wishing to be true). Only a mentally confused and/or delusionary impostor can come up with such a convoluted construct of wilful deception, and present it with all the overwrought seriousness of their supposedly “supra-rational” way (link) of feeling/ thinking.
To the (anonymous) correspondent I can only suggest reading what I recommended to @Josef yesterday (link).
