Richard’s Correspondence

On The Actual Freedom Mailing List

with Correspondent No. 53


May 12 2006

RESPONDENT to Co-Respondent: You tell me what happens.

CO-RESPONDENT: I don’t know. It’s just that you said if the cessation of feelings is to happen, it will happen on its own. There is that possibility but I also see the possibility that the mind may be able to influence change. Neural pathways, it seems, are strengthened by use – to use the simplest terms I can regurgitate right now.

RESPONDENT: And that’s a good point. .. all answers are puke and regurgitation ... some people think their puke has a quality of freshness, vivacity, utitily and can send the puked-upon off into a magical, fantasy-like paradise. Some people think their regurgitation of other peoples words & borrowed wisdom, Alan Watts for example, has a quality of originality & freshness. http://lists.topica.com/lists/actualfreedom/read/message.html?mid=912871122&start=1

RESPONDENT: ... if you had a shred of honesty, integrity or decency, you would not have removed with link intact, what I had written in the email you were replying to here.

RICHARD: I will spell it out simply and sequentially: 1. The e-mail at that link (which you have now provided twice) is dated October 29, 2003 11:31 PST.

RESPONDENT: And that is the link where you provided encouragement when I decided to give actualism and you a shot.

RICHARD: Yet nowhere at that link (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 53a, 30 October 2003) do I only give you encouragement for the event you did not write about until four days later.

*

RICHARD: 2. The e-mail at the other link you provided further above (where you first wrote about the event in question) is dated November 02, 2003 05:44 PST.

RESPONDENT: And so?

RICHARD: And so there is no way you could have been [quote] ‘only given encouragement by Richard’ [endquote] for that event four days before you first wrote about it.

RESPONDENT: I mistakenly linked my reply to your encouragement ...

RICHARD: In which case you can now correct that mistake by pointing your co-respondent to the link where you say I only gave you encouragement for that event.

RESPONDENT: ... so shoot me.

RICHARD: I would rather see you now point your co-respondent to the link where you say I only gave you encouragement for that event.

*

RICHARD: 3. There is no way you could have been [quote] ‘only given encouragement by Richard’ [endquote] for that event four days before you first wrote about it.

RESPONDENT: Your encouragement was in reply to this link which was sent Oct 29, 2003 04:33 PST [http://lists.topica.com/lists/actualfreedom/read/message.html?mid=908926432].

RICHARD: Nowhere at that link do you write anything at all about the event in question.

RESPONDENT: And you replied 5 hours later at Oct 29, 2003 11:31 PST.

RICHARD: Nowhere in that reply (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 53a, 30 October 2003) do I give you any encouragement whatsoever for the event you did not write about until four days later ... let alone only.

*

RICHARD: 4. You were asked by your co-respondent if you have any evidence that Richard cannot walk his own talk.

RESPONDENT: Your interactions continue to be all the evidence that anyone needs ...

RICHARD: This is the essence of what your co-respondent wrote to you (from further above):

• [Co-Respondent]: ‘... How he writes is not going to show either way whether he has emotions. If he had them and was lying about them, it would be very easy to write without showing emotional reaction. I’m very interested to hear if you have any other ‘evidence’ that he cannot walk his own talk. If I’m learning about total crap, please show me’. [endquote].

Now, whilst I cannot speak for your co-respondent, there is nothing in that response of theirs which even remotely suggests my interactions are all the evidence they need ... on the contrary, they specifically ask if you have any ‘evidence’ other than my interactions (as in their ‘how he writes’ phrasing) and all you provided was an elaborate hall of mirrors.

This is an apt place to again re-post the following:

• [Richard]: ‘Has it not dawned upon you by now that none of what you have had to say about an actual freedom from the human condition has been even worth the time and bandwidth you use to compose and send it ... not one word of it?
• [Respondent]: ‘Yes sir. I have no argument with that’. (Thursday, 1/04/2004 11:07 AM AEST). (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 53i, 4 January 2006).

That rare burst of honesty from you was over two years ago and not once since then has any of what you have had to say – none whatsoever – about an actual freedom from the human condition has been correct either.

How you can even begin to think you can expose same with fabrications/ confabulations simply defies commonsense.

*

RESPONDENT: Richard wrote: his standard bullshit <... snipped ....>

RICHARD: I have re-inserted my latest response (above) in its entirety as the reason why you characterised it as [quote] ‘his standard bullshit’ [endquote] is plain to see ... to wit: factual evidence plays no part in the world of the one who prepares the way/ makes the path straight for the man that one likes.

RESPONDENT: I won’t bother replying to the utter nonsense you spin, twist, distort, confabulate, fritter away your time & bandwidth on.

RICHARD: Possible translation: ‘I won’t bother replying as I cannot point No. 110 to the link, which is central to my argument that Richard cannot walk his own talk, because I made the whole thing up’.

RESPONDENT: I will not go back like some internet detective and unwind all the twists, lies and distortions you have constructed in this ongoing hall of mirrors you are constructing ...

RICHARD: Possible translation: ‘I will not go back like some internet detective as I cannot point No. 110 to the link, which is central to my argument that Richard cannot walk his own talk, because I made the whole thing up’.

RESPONDENT: ... all in an effort to win over the newbies like some Jehovah’s Witness proselytiser.

RICHARD: Possible translation: ‘Curses, foiled again in my efforts as a voice in the wilderness to win over the newbies to the man I like’.

RESPONDENT: I’ve presented and backed up with links all the necessary facts ...

RICHARD: As you have neither presented nor backed up with a link the necessary fact which is central to your argument, that Richard cannot walk his own talk, that is an outright fabrication.

RESPONDENT: ... [I’ve presented and backed up with links all the necessary facts] that you’ve continued to delete ...

RICHARD: As you have neither presented nor backed up with a link the necessary fact which is central to your argument, that Richard cannot walk his own talk, that is two more fabrications.

RESPONDENT: ... [I’ve presented and backed up with links all the necessary facts that you’ve continued to delete as you carve out yet one more hollow fixed victory to place in your self-edited, mis-re-presented archives] of cheap points ...

RICHARD: As you have neither presented nor backed up with a link the necessary fact which is central to your argument, that Richard cannot walk his own talk, that is even yet again another fabrication.

RESPONDENT: ... [I’ve presented and backed up with links all the necessary facts that you’ve continued to delete as you carve out yet one more hollow fixed victory to place in your self-edited, mis-re-presented archives of cheap points, hollow victories, lies] & distortions.

RICHARD: As you have neither presented nor backed up with a link the necessary fact which is central to your argument, that Richard cannot walk his own talk, that is once more a fabrication.

As nine fabrications in one sentence renders any sensible, rational and reasonable discussion null and void I will spell it out in no uncertain terms:

1. You have not pointed your co-respondent to the link which is central to your argument, where you say I only gave you encouragement for an event you first wrote about on November 02, 2003 05:44 PST (four days after the date at the link which you provided twice), for the very simple reason that no such e-mail exists.
2. You were asked by your co-respondent if you have any evidence for your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk and all you could provide was an elaborate hall of mirrors as no encouragement whatsoever was ever given to you by Richard for either that event (which you have labelled as being ‘for all intents & purposes’ a PCE) or for the event you wrote of two weeks later, at the link previously provided, in the e-mail dated November 16, 2003 04:49 PST – and which you have categorised as being [quote] ‘the highly sought after brain stem event’ [endquote] – partly because of the reasons detailed, on January 27, 2005 10:26 PST, at the following link: (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 60d, 28 January 2005).
3. The main reason, however, is that Richard would have been doing his fellow human being no favour were he to have encouraged someone – anyone – for having such grandiloquent delusions that an alleged change of heart, from a self-acknowledged cynicism and mistrust to a self-declared earnestness, would not only result in a spontaneous pure consciousness experience (PCE) a mere four days later but also a subsequential actual freedom from the human condition a scant fourteen days after that.
4. In short: you made the whole thing up ... the entire confabulation, up to and including your latest [quote] ‘I’ve presented and backed up with links all the necessary facts’ [endquote] fabrication, is nothing but a fantasy from beginning to end.
5. Given that you have been engaged in such and similar confabulations/ fabrications/ fantasies for over two and a half years throughout more than eleven hundred and fifty e-mails, to the point that it may very well have become compulsive, you would be well-advised to consider seeking some professional counselling ... especially so in view of your four-times expressed death-wish about that iniquous Richard who exists only in your imagination.

Put succinctly: as the flesh and blood body writing these words is not, repeat not, that fanciful identity which you somehow created thirty months or so ago, and whom you have assiduously nurtured ever since, then what you are obsessed by is a fictitious entity entirely of your own making and nourishment ... a fantastical persona who has no existence outside of your imaginative/ intuitive facility.

June 03 2006

RESPONDENT: ... Richard, who insists he has no feelings or emotions, behaves as anyone else with emotions & feelings ... else he would not act & react as he does ... he cannot walk his own talk.

CO-RESPONDENT: I have seen the stupidity of getting offended by insults or other words for a long time, which gives me the intent to see how I react to what is said. I haven’t seen any reply that suggests emotions. I’ve seen stern and hard-hitting points and some sharp words helpful to get through to the respondent. How he writes is not going to show either way whether he has emotions. If he had them and was lying about them, it would be very easy to write without showing emotional reaction. I’m very interested to hear if you have any other ‘evidence’ that he cannot walk his own talk. If I’m learning about total crap, please show me.

RESPONDENT: When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot ...

RICHARD: http://lists.topica.com/lists/actualfreedom/read/message.html?mid=908926432

RESPONDENT: ... [When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot], I had what for all intents & purposes was a PCE as described by actualism definitions & examples of a PCE.

RICHARD: http://lists.topica.com/lists/actualfreedom/read/message.html?mid=909048009

RESPONDENT: ... that was not an example of my PCE ...

RICHARD: This is what I was going by:

• [Respondent]: ‘When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot, I had what for all intents & purposes was a PCE as described by actualism definitions & examples of a PCE. *At that time, I was only given encouragement by Richard* ...’. [emphasis added].

Then you went on to say, with words to the effect, that it was in my self-interest someone new to actualism had some success with the actualism method and reports/ descriptions/ explanations but now that you are voicing your displeasure with me it is in my self-interest to declare that it was not a PCE after all – two and a half years after the fact – and that if this is not ‘total crap’ you do not know what is.

RESPONDENT: If you had a shred of honesty, a shred of integrity & a shred of decency, you would have pointed Respondent to this link, which is where I mentioned my ‘PCE’, which you currently & conveniently revised to not a PCE, 2 1/2 years after the fact: http://lists.topica.com/lists/actualfreedom/read/message.html?sort=&mid=908952727.

RICHARD: If you have a shred of honesty, a shred of integrity, and a shred of decency, you will now point your co-respondent to the link where I only gave you encouragement, because it was in my self-interest that someone new to actualism had some success with the actualism method and reports/ descriptions/ explanations, for what you describe as being, to all intents and purposes, a PCE as described by definitions and examples of same on The Actual Freedom Trust web site.

RESPONDENT: No, if you had a shred of honesty, integrity or decency, you would not have removed with link intact, what I had written in the email you were replying to here.

RICHARD: I will spell it out simply and sequentially: 1. The e-mail at that link (which you have now provided twice) is dated October 29, 2003 11:31 PST.

RESPONDENT: ... [Your] help was in response to my ‘change of heart’ not my ‘it-wasn’t-a-PCE-2 1/2 years-after-the-fact’.

RICHARD: Okay ... and I appreciate that you acknowledge this. I have no further questions.

RESPONDENT: I see you have decided to cut your losses & run as you revert to your standard evasive tricks & stock phrases.

RICHARD: Here it is spelled-out sequentially:

1. At 03:34 on May 04, 2006 PDT you were asked by your co-respondent for evidence to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk.
2. At 04:43 on May 06, 2006 PDT you responded by saying that, when for a moment there you decided to give actualism a shot, you were only given encouragement by Richard for an event you first wrote about on November 02, 2003 05:44 PST, for an alleged reason it was in his self-interest a new student of his had some success with actualism, but now that you are voicing your displeasure with him it is allegedly in his self-interest to declare – two and a half years after the fact – that it was not a pure consciousness experience (PCE) after all.
3. You have not been able to provide a link to the e-mail which is central to your argument (where you say Richard only gave you encouragement for that event) for the very simple reason no such e-mail exists.
4. You wrote seven e-mails all told, totalling 4,303 words, before you would acknowledge that you were never given any encouragement by Richard for that event but for having a change of heart four days earlier (October 29, 2003 11:31 PST).
5. Richard not only did not give you any encouragement for that event he also did not encourage you for what you classify as being [quote] ‘an example of the highly sought after brain stem event’ [endquote] fourteen days later (November 16, 2003 04:49 PST) either.

As all of what you provided (in response to your co-respondent’s request for evidence that Richard cannot walk his own talk) has amply demonstrated that Richard does indeed walk his talk your 4,303 word contribution to this mailing list, over seven e-mails, has been most appreciated.

And just so that be not taken as a facetious comment the following should be self-explanatory:

• [Richard]: ‘... the more that certain persons doctor and/or misrepresent my words and/or read things into them which are simply not there, and so forth, in order to find fault the more they demonstrate that what I do report/ describe/ explain is indeed actual/ factual and, thus, irrefutable (else why resort to it).
As such a sterling PR service for actualism is being provided ... gratis’. (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 87, 28 October 2004)

RESPONDENT: ... [Your] help was in response to my ‘change of heart’ not my ‘it-wasn’t-a-PCE-2 1/2 years-after-the-fact’.

RICHARD: Okay ... and I appreciate that you acknowledge this. I have no further questions.

RESPONDENT: I see you have decided to cut your losses & run as you revert to your standard evasive tricks & stock phrases.

RICHARD: Here it is spelled-out sequentially ...

RESPONDENT: That is how YOU spell it out ...

RICHARD: As that is the way it happened it is indeed the way I spell it out.

RESPONDENT: ... but of course, you have left out your bevy of lies, fabrications, selective editing & so forth, that I have pointed out several times now.

RICHARD: What I have left out is everything extraneous which you have seen fit to introduce as a deflection away from what this thread is about (your response to being asked by your co-respondent for evidence to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk) as there is no way such sophomoric diversionary tactics are ever going to work on me.

RESPONDENT: You not only cannot own up to these malicious fabrications, you do not even address them; in lieu of attacking the irrelevant loop-hole you are glomming onto like a dog a bone thinking there is some blood to be extracted from it.

RICHARD: The following is what you wrote, at 04:43 on May 06, 2006 PDT, in response to being asked by your co-respondent, at 03:34 on May 04, 2006 PDT, for evidence to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk (in its original un-edited format):

> [Respondent]: ..... and the bottom line
> is that this guy Richard, who insists he has no feelings or emotions,
> behaves as anyone else with emotions & feelings ... else he would not
> act & react as he does .... he cannot walk his own talk
>
> # I have seen the stupidity of getting offended by insults or other
> words for a long time, which gives me the intent to see how I react to
> what is said. I haven't seen any reply that suggests emotions. I've seen
> stern and hard-hitting points and some sharp words helpful to get

> whether he has emotions. If he had them and was lying about them, it
> would be very easy to write without showing emotional reaction. I'm very
> interested to hear if you have any other 'evidence' that he cannot walk
> his own talk. If I'm learning about total crap, please show me.
When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot, I had what
for all intents & purposes was a PCE as described by actualism
definitions & examples of a PCE. At that time, I was only given
encouragement by Richard, Peter, Vineeto. It was in their
self-interest that a new student of theirs had some success with thier
method & teaching. But now that I am voicing my displeasure with them,
it is in their self-interest to declare that that was not a PCE after
all .... 2 1/2 years after the fact! If that isn't 'total crap', I
don't know what is. [endquote].

As you were specifically asked for evidence to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk then your unsolicited inclusion of Peter and Vineeto in your response is an extraneity ... therefore, in effect, this is what the evidence you were asked for looks like when all reference to them is stripped-out:

• [example only]: ‘When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot, I had what for all intents & purposes was a PCE as described by actualism definitions & examples of a PCE. At that time, I was only given encouragement by Richard. It was in his self-interest that a new student of his had some success with his method & teaching. But now that I am voicing my displeasure with him, it is in his self-interest to declare that that was not a PCE after all ... 2 1/2 years after the fact! If that isn’t ‘total crap’, I don’t know what is’. [end example].

Of course, as you now fully acknowledge, you were never given any encouragement by Richard for the event you first wrote about on November 02, 2003 05:44 PST but for having a change of heart four days earlier (October 29, 2003 11:31 PST) ... therefore the evidence you were asked for, to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk, looks something like this:

• [example only]: ‘When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot, I was only given encouragement by Richard for that change of heart. It was in his self-interest that I had a change of heart. But now that I am voicing my displeasure with him, it is in his self-interest to declare that it was not a change of heart after all ... 2 1/2 years after the fact! If that isn’t ‘total crap’, I don’t know what is’. [end example].

As I have never said it was not a change of heart the evidence you were asked for, to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk, looks something like this:

• [example only]: ‘When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot, I was only given encouragement by Richard for that change of heart. It was in his self-interest that I had a change of heart. If that isn’t ‘total crap’, I don’t know what is’. [end example].

Now it is not, of course, in my self-interest at all ... therefore, the evidence you were asked for, to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk, looks something like this:

• [example only]: ‘When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot, I was only given encouragement by Richard for that change of heart. If that isn’t ‘total crap’, I don’t know what is’. [end example].

As there is no way that being given encouragement by Richard for that change of heart could possibly be [quote] ‘total crap’ [endquote] the evidence you were asked for, to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk, looks something like this:

• [example only]: ‘When for a moment there, I decided to give actualism a shot, I was only given encouragement by Richard for that change of heart’. [end example].

RICHARD: What I have left out is everything extraneous which you have seen fit to introduce as a deflection away from what this thread is about (your response to being asked by your co-respondent for evidence to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk) as there is no way such sophomoric diversionary tactics are ever going to work on me.

RESPONDENT: What you have left out are your deflections ...

RICHARD: I have stayed consistent to what this thread is about ... to wit: your response to being asked by your co-respondent for evidence to support your assertion that Richard cannot walk his own talk.

RESPONDENT: ... [What you have left out are your deflections], aka your lies & fabrications ...

RICHARD: As I have not deflected, lied, or fabricated anything your self-acknowledged ploy of throwing another’s words back at them is as meaningless and pointless as it has always been.

RESPONDENT: ... [What you have left out are your deflections, aka your lies & fabrications], in an attempt to virtually destroy me ...

RICHARD: What I would suggest is that you read my response to the quote you provided, with that very response snipped-out, a mere sentence later in this very paragraph I am responding to. Here it is, in context, for your convenience:

• [Irene to Vineeto]: ‘Perhaps you could ask yourselves: Do I actually enjoy another person’s company as I had believed? Do I actually live peace if I find myself getting a kick out of the one-up-man ship I find myself engaged in since stepping onto this ‘wide and wondrous path of peace and harmony’. This was exactly the reason why I saw through Richard’s ‘peaceful’ living; it was (and is) expressed in glee for winning yet another argument, especially the one-up-man-ship he is so proud of having eliminated.
• [Richard]: ‘It was this paragraph that prompted me to write this response to your E-Mail to Vineeto and Peter ... I just found it irresistible. Firstly: I am not ‘proud of having eliminated’ any one-up-man-ship at all, for I have not needed to do so ... my life is so infinitely superior to anyone else’s that I have met or read about. Thus I am very pleased at my expertise and prowess in being able to win an argument, with anyone who defends the status-quo, because when I win, they win ... it is the ‘Tried and True’ that gets defeated. When I enter into a discussion with someone I am well aware that it may very well turn into a debate ... for these are contentious issues that I speak of. Society’s ‘Holy Cows’ are under sustained scrutiny ... what you so rightly call ‘being attacked’.
As for ‘getting a kick’ ... what I experience is far more gratifying than such a petty return. I am inordinately pleased when the grip that the human nature has on a person falls away ... the delight far exceeds merely ‘getting a kick’. (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. Irene, 6 October 1998)

Has it never occurred to you to consider just why I would go to some considerable endeavour and expense to get her latter-day words blackguarding actualism/ bad-mouthing me into print and published on The Actual Freedom Trust website for all to see?

RESPONDENT: ... you are a colossal bore ...

RICHARD: Possible translation: factually-based conversations are boring.

RESPONDENT: ... [Here is Richard ] still ignoring & glossing over all his fabrications & debating tricks & tactics ...

RICHARD: Possible translation: even though my diversionary tactics haven’t worked on Richard so far surely they will this time around.

RESPONDENT: ... in order to score more cheap points ...

RICHARD: Possible translation: I’ll just give my ploy of throwing his words back at him another go.

RESPONDENT: ... and enter yet one more hollow victory ...

RICHARD: Possible translation: if I keep on insisting that what is central to my argument is just one shred of semantics, a pathetically minor technicality, another pedantic loop-hole, that little chicken bone, the irrelevant loop-hole, I can go on pretending that all this egg on my face is really the latest thing in beauty-treatment.

RESPONDENT: ... into his carefully Control-freaked & edited archives for posterity.

RICHARD: Possible translation: I will never, ever, admit that his factually-based conversations are not edited before archiving.

The Third Alternative

(Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body)

Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
