Damian: My interest is mokshah / awakening / self realization
I don’t know much about actual freedom so not able to answer the other questions. How is PCE’s different from being in a flow state? of is it the same?
I read a few things but the website isn’t that easier to navigate and the text is really small. There are some particular words Richard used that I couldn’t find definitions on. [quote=“damian, post:4, topic:1033”]
Claudiu: In other words if what you want is these spiritual goals then you’ll save yourself a lot of time not pursuing actualism – not only will it not further your progress towards the spiritual goals but actually it will hinder it and turn you away from it. [quote=“claudiu, post:6, topic:1033”]
Hi Claudiu,
Well said.
Hi Damian,
Alternatively you can do what Claudiu, Shashank and others here have done, is recognize that an actual freedom from the whole of the human condition is vastly superior because it offers an existential solution to the human condition whilst Buddhism/Hinduism merely offer a salvation solution. Viz:
[Richard to Shashank]: Thus I experientially know, from that ongoing lived reality, how what is nowadays called Buddhism (as well as what has come to be called Hinduism) is not an existential solution to the human condition, as is Actualism, but a salvational solution (that is, deliverance from being yoked – saṃyojana, fr. saṃyuñjati (saṃ+ yuñjati) where yuñjati = to yoke, literally means ‘yoked together’ – to sensory phenomena (aka ‘sabba’, SN 35.23; PTS: S iv 15) or, conversationally, from being yoked to/ fettered by worldly existence). (link).
The whole exchange is well-worth reading and quite explanatory.
