I notice that in my life I always had the tendency to proceed forward only when the sense and practicality of a course of action finally clicked, as in once it makes sense to do something I simply do it, but I do not do it merely because it seems like a good idea.
It seems it is no different with self-immolation, as in there has to be not a single objection left, and once it clicks that this is obviously the most sensible course of action, then it happens.

Hi Kuba,
While this is eminently a sensible course of action for most actions in life and to a certain degree for becoming actually free, the last step cannot follow the same pattern. Once you sorted out everything you can sensibly sorting out, you will by its very nature do something you have never done before – manumit your ‘self’.
This last step is something entirely new in your life and is necessarily a jump from the known into the unknown (which you had glimpses of). But you cannot reason it out in advance – you cannot rely on your trusted sensible pattern of action.
That’s why Richard emphasizes that actualism is not scientific, it is experiential.
To succeed, you will have to dare to care, to care so deeply that you dare to do something, to allow something to happen, that has never happened to you before. This aspect of it is an immense daring and hence it needs a deep and abiding caring – and then, in the blink of an eye, you are here, here where you belong.

I remember a zoom with Geoffrey where he mentioned [obviously this could not actually happen and was just a thought experiment] that if he was to become an identity he would simply self immolate in 5 minutes, after checking out what it is like. It would be that simple because it is the most sensible course of action.

It made me chuckle.
It is the most sensible course of action, of course smile:
