Hi Syd,
I guess it can be said that ‘Geoffrey’ and ‘Srinath’ dared to care. I do remember Srinath mentioned to me a while back that this was one of the last puzzle pieces that clicked for ‘him’ before self-immolation - caring.
When I first got involved with actualism it was only the first wave that became actually free and after briefly giving it a go I decided to put it to one side for a few years, it seemed so unlikely that anyone else could do it at the time, plus the general proceedings on the forums were kind of weird. And then about 5 years later I came back to find that Geoffrey and Srinath had indeed become actually free! I even remembered Srinath from the forums back when he was still a feeling being, around the time I gave up. So that was massively encouraging for me too, in that those dudes that I saw as feeling beings, had become actually free in the time I gave up on it all, well actually Geoffrey came in and became actually free all in my absence haha. So yeah it can’t be understated just what benefit it is to others when the next person becomes actually free.
Can’t find the quote, sorry!
