Roy: Today I became frustrated because it seems I’m not going anywhere near being free of this constant thinking about myself. […]
I read the website and I learn nothing. It’s all there. It is basic. But I read it and nothing sticks. Am I blocking it because I can’t accept it? I can’t accept the fact that I’m living an illusion?
Hi @Roy
It is very difficult to accept as a concept that you are “living an illusion” until you have experienced an alternative, i.e. an experience of the actual world called pure consciousness experience.
Richard: What I usually say is that there is sufficient information available on The Actual Freedom Trust web site to establish a prima-facie case worthy of further investigation – rather than capricious dismissal as having all been said before – and thus (intellectually) find out what actualism is on about … and then see what happens.
In other words: what one can do is make a critical examination of all the words I advance so as to ascertain if they be intrinsically self-explanatory … and only when they are seen to be inherently consistent with what is being spoken about, then the facts speak for themselves. Then one will have reason to remember a pure conscious experience (PCE), which all peoples I have spoken to at length have had, and thus verify by direct experience the facticity of what is written.
Then it is the PCE that is one’s lodestone or guiding light … not me or my words. My words then offer confirmation … and affirmation in that a fellow human being has safely walked this wide and wondrous path.
