It would probably rapidly get old to just keep posting Claude’s ever-increasing certainty that PWR is Chaz. So instead I’ll post Grok’s analysis 
For the curious, here is the full context of what I provided to Grok: https://x.com/i/grok/share/6uncDUXhAgIbslKGeH1HQiaIb . As you will see, it was a neutral prompt as to whether PWR is Chaz, i.e. not biasing it one way or another.
Cheers,
Claudiu
Thank you for your answer. I see, but you still haven’t explicitly shared what this method – the one that worked for you – actually is, have you?
I had almost forgotten about Justine. I recall partially reading two of his books on Actual Freedom, but they didn’t hold much value for me compared to the website. I have no idea what you mean regarding the anastasis here.
I don’t know if you’re a sock puppet or not, but so far, your replies seem enigmatic rather than illuminating, at least in my opinion. Aren’t you writing here because you’re interested in sharing the ‘path without resistance’ that you’ve found?
The method that revealed the path without resistance began when the phenomenon of procrastination was investigated.
Procrastination was not the problem.
The problem was the lack of will.
What were the causes of this lack of will?
Passive aggression, first of all.
And what caused and maintained this passive aggression?
The natural resistance (self-preservation instinct) of the animal organism in accepting external orders.
A healthy body reacts not only to pathogenic invaders but also to ideas, theories and concepts that appear, at first glance, to be irrational or unintelligible.
So, how can this be solved?
There are several techniques used in advertising to break this barrier.
All of them, without exception, involve manipulating the mind.
Pavlov’s experiments are the basis of these techniques.
Creating desire, overcoming objections and establishing a “rapport” with the client/consumer/follower.
Social networks and their algorithms are the most recent fruits of this manipulation technology (it has been possible to elect Presidents of powerful nations with them for at least ten years).
All these techniques should be discarded for security reasons.
This was the beginning of the process for formulating a new method.
In the meantime, it became quite clear that just as the immune system fights pathogenic invaders, there is also a mechanism for cellular regeneration.
This cellular regeneration in neurons and their synapses preserves atavistic memories that are already part of the DNA.
It is no coincidence that victims of altered states of consciousness inevitably repeat the same patterns of behavior and set out on a crusade to save/help/free their fellow men.
I also detected this resuscitation of a behavioral pattern in U. G. Krishnamurti.
When an enlightened person allows himself/herself to be visited, seen and heard by followers, he/she has abandoned anonymity and the anastasis is complete.
Anastasis (a term borrowed from medicine) is this re-emergence of a persona whose vitality distributed throughout all the organs has been concentrated in the brain, whether driven by an altered state of consciousness or by a consciousness manifested in the objective material world and its natural phenomena.
Living in the objective material world of the path without resistance requires perpetual anonymity.
And, once again, the motive is altruistic: to preserve the physical safety of one’s body and of those around one.
U.G., unable to nullify the anastasis, ended up opting for suicide by starvation (Prayopavesa).
I did not have time to warn Richard about this side effect, and the anastasis caused him to ignore signs of a rapid deterioration in his health that even occasional check-ups do not usually diagnose accurately.
Nature is what nature does…
Anonymity is a prerequisite for living on the path without resistance, overcoming that “plateau” and blending into this multitude of “I’s” so that no psychic emanation finds a vulnerable target.
This is the “see who still bites despite the obvious being obvious” portion of the performance
Claude had a few things to say about this latest turn of events…
I can’t say I disagree. Continuing to troll actualism forums and attack Richard posthumously really brings it to a new level.
Ah, now I understand what he means by Anastasis - he is describing himself!
Fascinating.
Cheers Vineeto
Good day, Roy.
Another breakthrough in the method of the path without resistance was understanding that the intellect was a prisoner of language. With language, the “I” tried to find patterns where there were none, a kind of semantic apophenia. It was vital to face the limitations of words, of language, because only then could one evolve.
Without this understanding, you will continue to be stuck in a no man’s land, the “plateau.” Too poor intellectually to be capable of free and independent critical thought or too rich intellectually to desire such a thing.
There will be exceptions, fortunately. The rest will take pride in remaining dysfunctional. They believe that they are fulfilling their destiny. That someday they will be free. That they have control over their own existence. And anyone who tries to warn them will quickly be labeled a sock puppet, a troll…
See, I care enough about you to tell you “no,” the same way a mother teaches a child not to run between cars on the street, not to touch a hot stove or not to stick their finger in an electrical outlet.
Hi PWR, I appreciate your answers and the time you took to reply.
I used to give incredible importance to language – and I still do, when communicating with others – but not so much when it comes to my inner dialogue (the words in my thoughts). I used to get hung up on how, for example, Richard writes (flowery, as he seemed to put it), but in the end, those are just words and concepts. For me, what matters isn’t the words, but the living actuality to which they point. I choose to focus on how I’m present experiencing now, and because of that, I don’t feel I have to believe in any particular concept.
I’m finding your posts interesting to read…troll or not
Now does the above quote from you mean you have nurturing feelings intact ?
Hello all,
I thought it might be of value, for those unfamiliar with Chaz and thus unconvinced by the clear-to-those-familiar evidence that PWR is Chaz, and who are thus expressing interest and approval of what PWR says, either via positive reaction emojis (e.g. @leila, @FrankN , and @jamesjjoo) or continued good-faith engagement with them (e.g. @roy, @Shashank), to elucidate and demonstrate precisely what it is PWR would be saying and putting on offer if their contributions were made in earnest.
The reader is encouraged to click and read all the tool-tips as they corroborate, with appropriate citations, everything that is written below.
PWR claims to have initially resonated with the descriptions of PCEs on the AFT site[1], yet objected to the demonstrated-to-be-effective experiential actualism method, on the grounds of objecting to a descriptional “brain model” as being outdated[2].
This makes no rational sense, seeing as how ‘Richard’ was totally unaware of Ledoux’s work when ‘he’ successfully employed the actualism method and eventually became actually free from the human condition[3]. PWR himself states that Ledoux’s work was “used by Peter first”[4] and thus could not possibly have been relevant to the development of the actualism method, which was done by ‘Richard’ years before.
(Besides which, how can laboratory evidence corroborating that which is experientially evident, namely that feelings arise before thoughts, become “outdated” in any case? It is salient that no actual substantive engagement with or rebuttal of Ledoux’s work has been presented besides an assertion that they have been “refuted and criticized”[5].)
PWR then parlayed this objection into “planning a new method from scratch”.
It is already evident from the outset that whatever this “new method” is, it is unrelated to and different from the actualism method, else there be no need to create it “from scratch”, i.e. not using of or reliant upon the actualism method.
As such, whatever this “new method” is, it has no relation to the actualism method of enjoying and appreciating this moment of being alive, and it therefore does not have as its goal or aim an actual freedom from the human condition, as pioneered by Richard and subsequently demonstrated to be effective via being successfully reproduced by Peter, Vineeto, Srinath, and Geoffrey, to name a few.
This “new method” proposed by PWR is only applicable for and usable by a single human being that has ever lived, is currently living, or ever will live, namely: PWR themselves.[6][7]
In other words, nothing they have to say here can be of any direct relevance or help to anybody else on the forum.
PWR advises everybody who has not yet become actually free to completely abandon using the actualism method (which is the only method proven to be effective at bringing about an actual freedom from the human condition sooner rather than later) and simply try something else, instead, with no advice or pointers as to what that might be.[8]
In other words, PWR is attempting to deliberately lead everybody on this forum away from the wide and wondrous path, that has proven to be effective, and instead try anything besides this which has been definitively proven to actually work.
This “new method” is said to be superior to the actualism method.
The first assertion of superiority (as seen in point 1) makes no rational sense, as it is based on a mention of “erroneous explanations about the activities and parts of the brain” years after the actualism method was devised and successfully implemented rendering that method itself (which again existed for years prior to any knowledge about Ledoux’s work) as inferior to this “new method”.
The second assertion of superiority[9] makes no logical sense, as the actualism method is said to be a path of “least resistance” while the "new path" is the “path without resistance”. As a path without resistance would by definition be the path of least resistance, and the actualism method is said to be the path of least resistance, it thus is a logical contradiction to assert these two as being distinctive paths.
The way of being resulting from successfully applying this new method is asserted to be superior to an actual freedom from the human condition[10].
This assertion of superiority defies all sensibility whatsoever as, despite being a “liberated man” who is living “with freedom”[11], nevertheless this freedom is not an unconditional one (as actual freedom is) but is instead conditional upon “perpetual anonymity” such that “no psychic emanation finds a vulnerable target”[12].
In other words, such a “liberated man”, living in a manner of having “nullified the anastasis” (i.e. having nullified all possible re-emergence of an identity after the only apparent death of one[13]) which PWR says even a full actual freedom from the human condition does not attain to, nevertheless is still susceptible to psychic currents (which are part and parcel of the human condition) and is thus living a way of being that is inferior to an actual freedom, as the latter is not susceptible to psychic currents whatsoever as the entire psychic faculty has totally vanished and evaporated, never to have been in the first place, upon a successful self-immolation in toto.
The above reveals that this so-called “freedom” to be nothing but a sham, as not only does one continue to be susceptible to psychic currents, but one becomes so susceptible that there mere act of somebody finding out the name of such a “liberated man” (and thus ending their “perpetual anonymity”) would instantly shatter this faux "freedom" and bring back that very identity which was said to be impossible to bring back due to the nullification of aforementioned anastasis.
In other words, this conditional element, introduced only rather far into the thread, reveals that no nullification of anastasis of any sort has happened, as a genuine nullification of the possibility of any identity re-emerging would tautologically make it impossible for such an identity to re-emerge, and thus would not entail the conditional requirement that one remain perpetual anonymous.
Despite abundant evidence that PWR is precisely a sock puppet of the notorious “Chaz”, so much so that if they aren’t actually a sock puppet of “Chaz” they nevertheless are acting precisely like one, it is actually nearly every other member of the forum that is a sock puppet, and not PWR, despite nobody else exhibiting the very clear and obvious signs that they are “Chaz”.[14]
In other words, besides attempting to mislead all the forum members into straying away from the wide and wondrous path, onto the path of an inferior method towards an inferior freedom, PWR is insulting them as well.
Not content to stop at insults, PWR then escalates to denigrating everybody who is virtually free from the human condition [15] as “dysfunctional”, taking pride in “remaining dysfunctional”, and being foolishly deluded by thinking they are “fulfilling their destiny” and that “someday they will be free” when they are not/will not.
Not satisfied with merely misleading, insulting, and denigrating their fellow forum-members, PWR grossly and obscenely[16] offends whatever sensibility may remain in those readers unfortunate enough to have come into contact with his writing, by casting all the above as somehow being an act of caring[17].
TL;DR: Based upon a contradictory, irrational, illogical premise which lacks any sensibility whatsoever, PWR has taken it upon themselves to denigrate the actualism method, an actual freedom from the human condition, any actually free person in general and Richard in particular, along with any virtually free person to boot, to mislead them by leading them away from the wide and wondrous path that has come to be known as the actualism method, onto a path that has only worked and will only work for one human on the entire planet (namely, PWR themselves), which path is, according to their own reports, inferior to the actualism method and whose result is inferior to an actual freedom (as it is conditional rather than unconditional), insulting the intelligence and offending the sensibilities of their readers along the way.
And PWR is so good at working their lexical wizardry (perhaps by having at least 26 years of experience of doing the same?) that they’ve gotten quite a few people to “bite” along the way.
I do certainly understand the temptation to be led away from the wide and wondrous path. It can most certainly be alluring to be beckoned away from that which one knows, deep down, is one’s very extinction, back towards the apparently safe and felt-to-be warm embrace of humanity, back into the crowd, back safely among the herd, with the tantalizing promise that there is indeed a way (of course there must be) to remain precisely who one is, fundamentally unchanged, and yet attain that which can only be attained by self-sacrifice, namely: the consistent and continuous enjoyment and appreciation of this moment of being alive.
Nevertheless that will be nothing but the perpetuation of the very status quo that one realized was rotten, which is the reason one embarked on this journey on the wide and wondrous path to begin with… as it is that very same continuous enjoyment and appreciation of being alive that is what inevitably draws one nearer to that very extinction that one knows is coming.
Cheers,
Claudiu
@claudiu I withdraw my thumbs up emoji to PWR’s initial post which I made right after reading it before I knew anything about this persona. Please remove my emoji if you can.
My physical condition has worsened and I don’t have time for playing games.
I am sticking with Richard’s original method which I need to get me through some trying times.
Thanks, James
Good day everyone,
(I have always appreciated the courtesy with which Richard began his correspondence. An intelligent gesture that should be preserved for a productive discussion. Just a suggestion.)
The fact that outdated scientific explanations are still available on the website www.actualfreedom.com.au indicates that anastasis has fulfilled its function.
This objective material world, the actual world, is an undeniable fact.
However, only a pure consciousness (i.e. without a legion of “I’s”) has access to this immaculate sensory experience.
In this aspect, Richard can be considered a pioneer. And, like every pioneer exploring a new unknown land, he is subject to errors that only the passing of time reveals.
The universe shows us the path without resistance: nothing and no one prevents an atom from being and remaining connected to another atom and so on. Just as that old boy understood that nothing and no one could prevent him from quickly passing through virtual freedom (ease and inevitable) and continuing to evolve towards and into a new pure consciousness.
Returning to Shashank’s question, and before this thread is hijacked again, warning your fellow human beings that there is a risk of anastasis and that it is enough to remain anonymous in order to avoid a dangerous dissociation with the physical organism is not a nurturing instinct.
There are people who refuse to believe that they need to be rescued under any circumstances, and receive training in a method only as a necessary formality to achieve an end. And then they perish in catastrophes, because what mattered to them was to be in control and to be free. They never considered that they were shortening their longevity because they violated a law of the universe such as gravity. Even if they ignore the law of gravity, or act as if only they were capable of defying it, the law of gravity is always in force. It never changes. The same goes for anastasis.
For example, if you decided that gravity would not work for you and threw yourself from the top of a skyscraper without a parachute, would you land safely? Gravity attracts all bodies to the center of the Earth. It precedes you and will outlive you. You can’t change it either, you have to adapt to it or risk suffering the consequences. Same goes for anastasis.
Many want to eat their cake and keep it. They want to do whatever they want, whenever they want, but not be held responsible for the subsequent disasters that so often occur…
The question that everyone on the “plateau” should ask is:
“— Why don’t I have enough stamina to sustain a pure intent and cross that thin line between the ‘real’ and the ‘actual’?”
Procrastination? Lack of will?
So… what is “will”?
That rebel who began a new journey into the actual world also began by investigating these topics.
Breaking the “Overton Windows” requires courage, not emojis.
Most of the members here are fictional characters, who have enough willpower to keep procrastinating but not to give up this last resistance…
Fortunately, there is a solution!
An anecdote may be useful here:
G. K. Chesterton was once asked to answer a newspaper question, “What’s wrong with the world?” Chesterton gave a famous one-word answer: “I.”
P.S.: As for the method for the path without resistance, yes, it was created by and for a single individual naive enough to question everything and everyone. This cake has already been eaten, although nothing and no one prevents the recipe from being shared. I hope you accept this anonymity, which, in addition to a right to privacy and a measure of security, is a living example of how to conduct oneself in the actual world until one’s last breath.
Good morning, @claudiu. I’m replying here since you also tagged me in your post.
When reading your post, the thought I had was just how important actual freedom is to you. Thank you again for all your contributions.
I don’t feel insulted at all by @PWR’s messages. I interacted with him, honestly, for selfish reasons – to satisfy my curiosity. However, I understand how, from an outside perspective, it might seem like I’m believing what is being said.
Even the biggest troll is still a person, and I must admit I find it fascinating and try to understand what drives people to act the way they do.
Ultimately, in an unmoderated forum like this, situations like this are inevitable. And it only reinforces how important it is that the Actual Freedom Trust and the official website exist, so that the message isn’t distorted or corrupted by bad – or simply confused – actors.
Good day again (a welcome exchange of usual civilities),
I lived in a country where a silent civil war is killing more people than the Vietnam War. So the war was one of the topics that, starting on April, 2011 (I have a good memory for dates and times because I write them down mentally and later in a journal), I included in a list to investigate its actual causes. And the conclusions reached were, as expected, different from those promulgated on the website www.actualfreedom.com.au.
If they give me lined paper, I will write sideways…
To make a long story short, I recommend reading (also long) this article to anyone who is genuinely interested in investigating the worst of human behavior’s:
Jeremy Griffith’s Insight: Healing the Mind to End War
Another “fascinating”(sic) aspect (the word fascination comes from the Latin fascinum, which means charm or spell) is the total lack of reference to this other Australian citizen, Mr. Jeremy Griffith (it is also peculiar that Julian Jaynes, another pioneering researcher of human subjective consciousness, is mentioned only twice on the AFT website…).
As for the article linked above, I disagree with the author – and with Mr. Griffith’s hypothesis and theory) because even if the wars of the last 12,000 years were not caused by the instinct of aggression, they were fueled and sustained by it. However, I agree with the possibility of a complete cure for such conditions.
Only after the main rational objections are resolved can the path that has always been open finally be experienced without any resistance.
I’m afraid this is the same story all over again… rejecting the ‘evil’ parts of ourselves to grasp at the ‘loving & compassionate’ side.
“Firstly, an intriguing foundational tenet of Griffith’s work is that our deeper, in fact deepest , nature, our species’ instinctual heritage, is to be altruistic, selfless and loving.”
Yes, and Mr. Griffith considers himself a “prophet” by his own definition. It is hard for him and other proselytizers not to stay behind the scenes and refuse the spotlight… Again, and again, more of the same same.
What are you offering that is different to either Richard or any of these other ‘prophets’? The dark side you point to in this article is nothing new to any actualist, and their prescription as you agree is nothing new.
It seems you are claiming that a ‘self’ returned to Richard due to his public relations, presumably you would argue the same to any other actually free person who maintained public relations. Does that leave you as the only genuinely free person? Is it really anonymity and a VPN that’s keeping your self from rising from the dead?
What are you offering that is different to either Richard or any of these other ‘prophets’?
— A different (updated) hypothesis and theory about the method of actualism.
If something can be improved, just do it.
The dark side you point to in this article is nothing new to any actualist, and their prescription as you agree is nothing new.
— Really? Despite many knowing this, how many propose to eradicate the causes of this “dark side”? Putting off this task while writing a journal and attending a self-help group daily for 3, 4, 5 or more years is a lack of ____________ (you fill in here).
It seems you are claiming that a ‘self’ returned to Richard due to his public relations, presumably you would argue the same to any other actually free person who maintained public relations.
— No, but this is a sensitive topic that needs further clarification. Once both the set of selves (don’t be fooled, there is not a single ego but a multitude of them) and the psyche/soul/superego are eliminated, there is no way back. It is a path of no return, therefore, without resistance. It is no coincidence that it is impossible to hypnotize a mind that lives in a state of pure and unadulterated consciousness.
PWR wrote: “Anastasis (a term borrowed from medicine) is this re-emergence of a persona whose vitality distributed throughout all the organs has been concentrated in the brain, whether driven by an altered state of consciousness or by a consciousness manifested in the objective material world and its natural phenomena.”
This persona (a virtual mask) is an “authority” (to be obeyed) or “target” (to be attacked) recreated by a psychic network around an actual free body. Remember: whether you are normal, enlightened or actually free, you are not alone on this planet. There are dozens, hundreds and often thousands of other people around you in this increasingly urbanized and interconnected world. What is the reason for exposing your delicate organism and health to the psychic emanations of others? How will they affect a body that they cannot accurately identify and know its address?
Does that leave you as the only genuinely free person?
— No, but I suspect there will be others who will also preserve their anonymity.
Is it really anonymity and a VPN that’s keeping your self from rising from the dead?
— After reading my explanations above, you will understand that anastasis is a psychic force of external origin incapable of reaching pure consciousness but capable of affecting the internal organs of an actual free body.
Anonymity is the natural quality of this body and of others. Names, pronouns and titles are only to identify one body from another and facilitate communication.
Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote above about the role of preserving anonymity and not starting a campaign, whether on land or at sea, of travel and personal meetings. It is safer and smarter to operate behind the scenes if and when necessary. Not everyone needs to be a mentor at the risk of becoming an evangelizing apostle. Or a martyr. Think about that.
PWR wrote: “Returning to Shashank’s question, and before this thread is hijacked again, warning your fellow human beings that there is a risk of anastasis and that it is enough to remain anonymous in order to avoid a dangerous dissociation with the physical organism is not a nurturing instinct.”
The path without resistance adds extra warning to navigators: where and with whom you are, preserves your anonymity to preserve your own safety and health and those bodies around you.
What precisely would you prescribe for the sincere actualist?
If you are genuinely free there is no ‘persona’ nor self by any other name to psychically attack, whether they know your whereabouts or not. Your concern about psychic attack indicates to me that you are a self living in fear of psychic attack by others. Whether we know your physical whereabouts or not, are you not leaving yourself open to such attack by posting on this forum? Are you not leaving yourself open to attack by leaving the house? What about those walking on the street outside?
