Please note that Vineeto’s correspondence below was written by the actually free Vineeto
(List D refers to Richard’s List D and his Respondent Numbers) Vineeto’s Selected Correspondence Vibes December 24 2024 VINEETO (to Felix): Peter: It seems to me that one can make sense of the Human Condition such that one can be virtually free of it but ‘making sense’ then has to be abandoned for direct sensate experiencing. [Emphasis added]. (Actualism, Peter, AF List, No. 13a, 31.1.1999). KUBA: Wow well this quote from Peter couldn’t be timed any better! Claudiu you can probably appreciate this one too. (Actualism, Actualvineeto, Claudiu3, 18 December 2024). It is quite uncanny how things operate in actuality. Almost eerie for ‘me’ to try to wrap ‘my’ head around. Vineeto, it is as if you – by existing outside of the human condition and living securely locked inside eternal time – can “call the shots” before ‘I’ see them. But that is only because those things are already happening, it is ‘me’ that is behind schedule as ‘I’ am locked out of time. Once ‘I’ catch onto what’s happening it is too late, it’s already in effect. This has happened multiple times now and it’s a bit mind boggling. It is as if what Richard described in this correspondence is what is happening here. (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 22, 1 January 2010). VINEETO: Hi Kuba, I have no idea myself. I did not know what was happening to you and I am delighted you told me. It reminds me of Felix who asked me, what’s next, and he is already right in the middle of this ‘next’. (Actualism, Actualvineeto, Felix, 24 December 2024). The quote from Peter was incidental, I had followed another’s link regarding the description of “locked in time” and there at the end of the quote Peter said exactly what I had written to Claudiu, that “‘making sense’ then has to be abandoned for direct sensate experiencing.” It seems apperception has happened without any deliberate plan or thinking. But then, facts are the same everywhere no matter which human being and/or apperceptively conscious human being perceives them. “Once ‘I’ catch onto what’s happening it is too late, it’s already in effect”. It is “mind boggling” for you because sometimes developments happen which an outside observer can see a little earlier than the person that it is happening to. It is also the inevitable outcome of allowing the universe to run your life via pure intent instead of being in control via the controller. And sometimes genuine magic does happen (which no science can yet explain because it has to catch up first), such as described in Richard’s tooltips in Peter’s becoming free report on the announcement page ( – “a report of a marvellous and magical prodigy”, “the portrayal of the out-of-the-ordinary experience”). What Richard describes at the link you provided establishes one fact for certain, that “happy and harmless (affective) ‘vibes’ and felicitous and innocuous (psychic) ‘currents’. (I have oft-times said that is where the real power-play occurs)” have more power to transform the affective vibes of their fellow humans than the happy and harmless people themselves will ever be aware of. KUBA: thereafter an analogy akin to that of a maestro conducting an orchestra is suggestive of the actual in action. VINEETO: In 2009/2010 Richard did seem like “a maestro conducting an orchestra” for a while until events settled down. What happens at present is rather a demonstration that actuality is the same everywhere (in essence) and synchronicity happens, which may have something to do with common human consciousness devoid of psychic influence, plus the happy and harmless vibes notably increasing on the forum. I always wondered if there wasn’t such a thing as an existential network based on actual common human consciousness, and the psychic web simply piggy-backs on it and might atrophy at some point in history. However, there is far too little known to speculate any further. Cheers Vineeto December 25 2024 VINEETO: I have no idea myself. I did not know what was happening to you and I am delighted you told me. It reminds me of Felix who asked me, what’s next, and he is already right in the middle of this ‘next’. KUBA: Yes I first observed this happening around the time when I went out from control but I think I needed a bit more naïveté and confidence in my experience to write it out, this time I took the risk of appearing foolish haha. VINEETO: Hi Kuba, Mmh, you didn’t look “foolish” to me but naiveté can have that effect. When you live naively, i.e. when you don’t know what is happening next, because ‘you’ gave over the controls to pure intent living ‘you’, it is only to be expected to be happening more and more. You might as well throw the notion of foolishness out the window and have confidence in the “actually occurring stream of benevolence and benignity that originates in the vast and utter stillness that is the essential character of the universe itself”. * VINEETO: What happens at present is rather a demonstration that actuality is the same everywhere (in essence) and synchronicity happens KUBA: Yes synchronicity is a great word for what I was trying to get at. It’s funny because ‘I’ being locked away from the rest of existence experience it as if ‘I’ am making ‘my’ various discoveries in a vacuum. And yet there is a lot more actually going on. VINEETO: That would only be because ‘you’ are still pretending to run the show whereas your experiences prove otherwise (“a lot more actually going on”), such as experiencing fellow travellers as people in their own right. I am confident you experience them that way but are still surprised when the overall information you receive from such near-intimate experience doesn’t fit any of your pre-existing templates. It’s all good fun. * VINEETO: “Once ‘I’ catch onto what’s happening it is too late, it’s already in effect”. It is “mind boggling” for you because sometimes developments happen which an outside observer can see a little earlier than the person that it is happening to. It is also the inevitable outcome of allowing the universe to run your life via pure intent instead of being in control via the controller. KUBA: Well isn’t this another huge bonus of daring to step out from control, as Richard wrote “one is supported by the universe”. And indeed discoveries of a serendipitous nature can be made because of this. VINEETO: Exactly. So why allow the ‘controller’ to judge your serendipitous experiences with this backward yardstick? Doesn’t the ‘controller’ know ‘he’ is fired? * VINEETO: What Richard describes at the link you provided establishes one fact for certain, that “happy and harmless (affective) ‘vibes’ and felicitous and innocuous (psychic) ‘currents’ (I have oft-times said that is where the real power-play occurs)” have more power to transform the affective vibes of their fellow humans than the happy and harmless people themselves will ever be aware of. KUBA: Yes this is something that I am discovering more and more these days and it’s another one of those mind boggling things. Normally ‘I’ experience ‘myself’ as a lone ‘I’, forever separated and sitting in ‘my’ ivory tower, where ‘I’ apparently run the show. And again there is so much more going on. It’s wonderful to contemplate that all this is happening and the outcomes are clearly visible. VINEETO: Yes, this is this lost, lonely, frightened and very, very cunning entity sitting in the corner sulking for having lost some power instead of coming to the party which is in full swing, and gladly giving up their burdensome existence for a very noble cause – nothing less than peace on earth. I do understand from memory what a stubborn fellow ‘I’ can be. Cheers Vineeto PS: As for the “Maestro” in this quote “thereafter an analogy akin to that of a maestro conducting an orchestra is suggestive of the actual in action” – it did give me an existential jolt of puissance reading it – perhaps you do vaguely (?) perceive something which I cannot, as I do not act according any ‘plan’ other than furthering peace on earth as well as I can. December 26 2024 KUBA: So yes in the end I am left with this word synchronicity and the realisation that ‘I’ clearly cannot do it unaided. It feels nice writing this out and letting whatever is left of pride disappear. After all even Richard needed Devika to “crack the code”. It is so obvious that human beings are so very intertwined with one another and ‘I’ cannot do it in a vacuum. Perhaps this is partly why it took so long for the first pioneer (Richard), to be the first certainly took something exceptional. Well each pioneer has to be exceptional but let’s say Richard was exceptionally exceptional. VINEETO: I am with you that only “exceptionally exceptional” people can become actually free unaided, and for those who do there is a track record. Even Geoffrey reported how much he appreciated the help received when Alan and Donna collected questions from Zulip members for answers from Richard and Vineeto – Geoffrey: I am Geoffrey, a French man of 42 years. You might remember me asking quite a few questions when Alan and Dona were in Ballina last year, including a few about self-immolation... Thanks again to you and Richard for your answers, which were invaluable. (the first free french :-) Private email, 5.10.2018). And feeling being ‘Vineeto’ understood from the start that in no way ‘she’ could become free of ‘her’ own. There never was this kind of ambition either. Apart from the words written, the felicitous vibes/currents on the forum are certainly influential. However, given that the word synchronicity has much currency in the real world (rightly or wrongly attributed), it may not apply for every situation where you perceive it so, and this is because ‘I’ will grasp any opportunity to explain away and control any experience, even when it is outside ‘my’ capacity to do so, such as the magicality of the actual world – RESPONDENT: How can you explain synchronicity events then? RICHARD: The way I can explain the simultaneous occurrence of events, which appear meaningfully related in the real-world but have no discoverable causal connection, is quite simple ... in a word: happenstance. RESPONDENT: I can understand synchronicity explained in regards to the human/ animal world by the existence of the collective unconscious, but I can’t explain the seeing/ forecasting of future events exclusively related to inanimate matter as the work of the human/animal psychic web. Synchronicity in regards to the inanimate matter can only satisfactorily be explained if matter has ‘psychic’, aka ‘electric’ properties (I can’t find a better word). RICHARD: Matter, be it either in its mass phase or energy phase, has no psychic properties. For what it is worth: even though I use the term ‘psychic currents’, to refer to the extrasensory transmissions conducted via affective vibrations (colloquially known as ‘vibes’) … (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 25i, 19 May 2005). Richard’s ambience-atmosphere-milieu effect may be a more apt description – Richard (to Jon): If you have already read my previous email to Srid (Richard, List D, Srid, 4 May 2013). you will now be aware that No. 25 has arranged to spend the month of July in Australia. As such it makes for an extended basis upon which to co-ordinate the timing of your anticipated visit so that it can overlap, by a few days or so, with whatever time-period Srid can arrange. As I wrote about the ‘ambience-atmosphere-milieu’ effect, in that previous email of mine, I need not repeat it here but will encourage you to follow-up the URLs, and their associated posts before and after, so as to better comprehend what it is I have in mind as an experiment. In short, by virtue of that effect there is a possibility that pure intent, nowadays personified as both a male and a female, may become more readily apparent. Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 25i, 4 May 2013). KUBA: There is also something quite sweet in giving up this pride and seeing that “we are in this together”, as in that human beings have to work together to extricate ourselves from this mess that we have landed in. Because in admitting that I cannot do it unaided I also realise that I am not only doing this for myself. That indeed every time I inch forward, I am bringing others with me and vice versa, and that this is happening not only by the words written but more importantly through the ‘psychic network’, the effects of which are clearly visible on the forum. VINEETO: Yes and no. It is wonderful that this insight gives you a solid reason that becoming actually free is not only for your benefit but for everybody. And yet this self-sacrifice is still the decision ‘you’ have to make of ‘your’ own accord, by yourself. Just beware so that this motivation for altruism does not transmogrify into a feeling of belonging and thus pull you back into humanity (as you already demonstrated in you next post. Cheers Vineeto \ February 14 2025 ROY: I think I get this intellectually but maybe I will only fully grasp how important it is experientially someday. I get the need to comprehend a concept and its opposite. So for example like Richard mentioned, I understand hatred because I also understand love, in contrast, and “one cannot exist without the other”. VINEETO: Hi Roy, This is exactly how it is intended to be. Richard’s reports and explanations are an invitation to induce contemplation and investigation to find out experientially how the human condition works in you and by extension in everyone. And once you find out for yourself, his words are a confirmation that you are not crazy – because almost everyone else follows the legacy/ beliefs of long dead people despite detrimental results. ROY: Maybe related to this… I also get that feelings are interpreted by me as good/positive or bad/negative — for me. So for example, I may feel discomfort in the gut due to feeling anxious and I label that as bad/negative. On the other hand, in a different situation, I may feel discomfort in the gut due to feeling excited and I label that as good/positive. And the physical sensation is exactly the same. Not sure if you would consider anxiety/excitement as twins. VINEETO: Every feeling/passion has a hedonic tone (Richard, Abditorium, Hedonic Tone). Hence it feels good to feel good, it feels bad to feel sad. This hedonic tone underpins every feeling-thought-action and is generally taken as the main arbiter of everything from philosophy to actions (unless conscience/ social identity restricts/controls it). Richard has written about how fear, particularly existential fear, has always a thrilling aspect – Richard: Always included in fear is a thrilling aspect, and by focussing upon this and not fear itself, an energy gathers momentum which does the trick for one (thrilling as in an exciting sensation through the body, stirring, stimulating, electrifying, rousing, moving, gripping, hair-raising, riveting, joyful, pleasing, throbbing, trembling, tremulous, quivering, shivering, fluttering, shuddering and vibrating). (Richard, List B, No. 12a, 18 July 1998). The very activity you are engaged in – to explore the depth of your ‘being’ – is a thrilling/exciting adventure, which excitement can overcome the fearful/daring discoveries you make. Fear and excitement are not twins as in opposites, they are two aspects of the same feeling. * ROY: Richard: And controlling one’s attitude towards them does nothing to stop the other picking up on one’s vibes (to use a 60’s term). If one has the slightest trace of malice or sorrow toward the other, the prevailing wisdom is to be loving or compassionate … yet it does not work in practice. This is because there is a psychic connection between humans who have feelings. [Emphases added] (Richard, List B, No. 2, 31 July 1998). Interestingly I did some research and once more the concept of “vibes” shows up. I looked around on the site and still don’t understand what it refers to in the context of actuality, but I have to read more. For me vibes are in the same bucket of auras and crystals. VINEETO: I understand that presently vibes are merely a concept or belief for you. Most people are not experientially aware of vibes even existing, while some others are quite sensitive to their effect. To start with, you can observe animals responding to you via vibes – if you have a dog for instance, you can observe that it can sense danger for its master not only with their senses but via foreign/ aggressive vibes, it can sense if you are angry or friendly towards them even if you don’t show it via words or body-language. Here is an interesting experiential report from Claudiu – Claudiu: Animals also are particularly sensitive to vibes. On one occasion I was home alone with the dogs, I got extremely upset and worked myself up into a frenzy, ran into the bedroom and hit the pillows a few times. It was full on anger and rage. And one of the dogs ran into the bedroom and started barking at the wall. Though she may have been triggered by the sound of me hitting the pillows, really what she was responding to was the intense angry vibes that I was (involuntarily) putting out, to the extent that she felt there was an intruder in the house that she had to protect me from (she had no idea that it came from me). And in a sense I was an ‘intruder’ in that moment (though the rage quickly passed). (March 2022). When I became actually free I was curious about not emanating psychic vibes and I observed how (higher order) wild animals let me approach closer, i.e. not noticing my presence until a sound alerted them. The pet dogs of a client, who used to give ‘Vineeto’ a friendly welcome, took no notice of me after becoming free. Richard: ‘The colloquialism ‘vibes’ does not refer to body-language but to the affective feelings and gained currency in the ‘sixties (as in ‘I can feel your pain’ or ‘I can feel your anger’ and so on) – even the military are well aware of this as I had it impressed upon me, prior to going to war in my youth, that fear is contagious and can spread like wildfire if unchecked – and another example is being in the presence of an enlightened being (known as ‘Darshan’ in the Indian tradition) so as to be bathed in the overwhelming love and compassion such a being radiates. Yet behind the feelings lie the psychic energies/ currents which emanate from being itself’. (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 41, 3 December 2003, Vibes). (Richard’s selected correspondence on Vibes and Psychic Currents can give you further information/ explanation for your contemplations.) ROY: Edit: Regarding the vibes, I used to believe in vibes. For example: “I don’t trust this person, because he is giving me negative/ weird vibes”. But eventually I realized it was just prejudice. For e.g., there was this one person I felt negativity towards and one day I was reminded of someone else, from my youth, that looked similar. I think now that somehow, unconsciously, this was the cause for my distrust. VINEETO: I guess that you still ‘believe’ in vibes in regards to acting according to your (unconscious) perception of them. But because you believe/think that felt vibes are “just prejudice” (flipping from belief to disbelief) you now notice/remember only what confirms your present concept. You can instead throw out both belief and disbelief and replace it with personal observational evidence you gather. You may start noticing how you check out approaching strangers psychically from a distance if they are ‘friend’ or ‘foe’ before you are even able to distinguish their facial expression or hear their voice. When I became actually free the first thing I noticed with astonishment that this was no longer operating so much so that at first I was disconcerted how I would be able to function safely in the world of people and events. It quickly turned out to be an unnecessary concern after all, as a freely operating intelligence is perfectly capable of looking after this body. ‘Vineeto’ had long been fascinated by psychic vibes /powers in ‘her’ spiritual years and as such learned to be cautious not to jump to conclusions either way. However, some experiences where so outstandingly obvious when ‘she’ experienced strong negative vibes/currents in several people ‘she’ interacted with at certain situations, it made ‘her’ even more determined to end the psychic ‘being’ in once and for all. ‘Vineeto’: I remember one incident with the woman I had lived and worked with for several years. One day in the office she received a phone call and, being the secretary, I took it, recognized her partner’s voice and transferred it to her into the next room, saying nothing but hello to the man. I didn’t hear the conversation as my door was closed, and just kept working on the daily accounts. From the moment of the call I had fierce pain in my stomach and thoughts of intense fear racing through my head that had nothing to do with my personal situation. After two hours it finally clicked – I went over to ask her if she had a fight with her partner on the phone. She said they did. My pain disappeared immediately. After this incident I investigated what made me so receptive to her vibes and feelings and I came to understand that my feelings of love for her were enough for me to be psychically connected to her fears and pain. (Actualism, Vineeto, Selected Correspondence, Psyche). I found another one of ‘Vineeto’s’ observations in 2000 experiencing psychic currents (from a distance of 800+ kms) – ‘Vineeto’: Yesterday I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games [on TV] and found it an excellent example of the psychic web in action. A band of 2000 musicians from all over the world was playing, all nationalities wearing an identical blue-red-beige uniform, everyone marching in exact formations while playing the various national hymns from all over the world. The audience’s spirit was soaring high, cheers and tears, overwhelmed by the feeling of ‘we are all one’, ‘we are the world’, feeling unity, glory, bliss and love. It is amazing how simple methods – heart-stirring music, uniforms and people marching in formations – can cast an effective spell on the collective human psyche. However, the feeling of ‘unity’ immediately dispersed as soon as the athletes of all the countries started marching into the stadium wearing their national costumes, under individual flags. Then the psychic scene changed, the feeling was now of individual national pride. Each nation was now separate from the other and soon each athlete will be competing against the others for the glory of their particular country and for their own personal fame. The feeling of Unity is but a short-lived feeling ... the psychic vibe changes readily when the music changes. (Actualism, Vineeto, List D, James, 17.9.2000) I have to add that at this time ‘Vineeto’ was aware enough of ‘her’ own feelings to know what ‘she’ experienced were not ‘her’ own feelings of ‘unity’, ‘we are all one’, bliss and love. ROY: Similarly, I used to believe in psychic connections. One time I had a panic attack out of the blue and later learned that a person dear to me had died at precisely that time. And so I connected the two. But nowadays I simply think this was a weird coincidence. VINEETO: There are many reports from people having strong psychic intimations/ experiences at the exact time when a loved one died, so that seems to be a common human experience for those sensitive to it. Some time after your own experience your present concept of disbelief in psychic vibes/currents made you think otherwise. Yet you still don’t know what really happens. For investigations into the human condition it is most conducive when you are able to suspend both belief and disbelief as much as possible. After all, endeavouring to free yourself from the human condition you are engaged into an investigation into the depth of your psyche, i.e. your emotions and passions, and it can be both weird and wonderful. Cheers Vineeto June 17 2025 KUBA: (…) But indeed there is the third alternative of being sensitive without becoming vulnerable, that is to say that my caring can be cranked up without it becoming an emotional involvement. And that is a wonderful thing! It means there is no reason anymore to hold back on genuine caring and consideration. It also means that I do not require the other to change, which means that for the first time assistance can come freely. VINEETO: Hi Kuba, An excellent discovery! It can foster allowing an unprecedented openness and let the other be as close as they like without fear to get entangled and intimacy can flourish like never before. KUBA to Felix: So with feeling good as a baseline (something that can come to be expected as an “of course”) moving into the ”bester” territory will no longer be an escape or a fix, but rather something even more wonderful than what is currently experienced. And then if all else fails you are back to a general sense of well-being. I do remember at some point on the forum it was as if the methodological, in-control virtual freedom – as pioneered by feeling being ‘Peter’ and ‘Vineeto’ – went out of fashion. Which was kind of odd, of course Richard never went through this and also Geoffrey wrote about aiming for an actual freedom only. But taking myself as an example, the kind of person I was, with the kind of tendencies that I had – it was the most obvious and immediate thing to focus on. Still when I think about it now I would take a general sense of well being each moment again over an oscillation from anxiety into excellence every time. The other thing which I can write about from experience is that something incredible can happen when feeling good is established as a baseline and so much so that there is less and less of a ‘normal’ to fall back to. Then that movement into the “bester” territory is not a temporary escape (with the feelings associated with this) and rather it has that delicious flavour of going into gay abandon – and then the socks can be safely blown off. VINEETO: I much appreciate you are putting in a plug for the in-control-virtual freedom and that you pursued it yourself. This is eminently doable and has enormous felicitous consequences not only for the person doing this but has a ripple-effect for everyone they are in contact with. The happy-and-harmless vibes are contagious (as Sonya recently reported) and success breeds success. Here Richard comments on the important role vibes play in feeling beings’ lives – Richard: However, I will take this opportunity to stress just how vital this matter of affective vibes is, in regards to successful actualism practice, as it is central to the ‘feeling harmless’ aspect of such practice (as in the phrase ‘happy and harmless’ that is) inasmuch the whole point is the minimisation – and the ultimate cessation via extirpation of ‘being’ itself – of any malicious feelings and, thus, their resultant transmission as affective vibes throughout the human psyche. (Richard, List D, No. 15, 28 October 2013) KUBA: So a question from me now… why the ‘doer’ in the first place? What happens to cause this? Is the ‘doer’ a creation of the social conditioning, a myth that is taught so that one lives with responsibility and is thus under control of the tenets of society? That in order for morality to function effectively one must exist as a ‘doer’, because if ‘I’ am apparently pulling all these levers then ‘I’ can be held under obligation and responsibility. It seems for me the ‘doer’ is a bit like the appendix at this point. VINEETO: Ha, it seems the ‘doer’ is indeed weakening substantially to even let you write such a sentence uncontested. KUBA: It seems it was something along these lines, that human beings observed that there were these instinctual passions which were a liability when living in a group and so a make-shift approach was to devise the ‘doer’. Because the ‘doer’ and responsibility/ obligation go like peas and carrots. It ‘worked’ so far as to control the excesses of violence and yet it inevitably leads to separation, resentment, duplicity etc. So it can never be a lasting solution. VINEETO: It wasn’t even planned like this. As soon as human beings live in a group they have to work out behavioural rules where everyone needs to fit in. Even stone-age people were not free of responsibility and restrictive rules, else human beings would not have survived and thrived. But as you observed, “it can never be a lasting solution” because nothing in regards to living together in peace has eventuated despite sophisticated morals and ethical dictates and technological advances. KUBA: But not only that, this ‘doer’ cements the human condition in place. For if ‘I’ am not ‘my’ feelings then human nature is apparently set in stone. Huh so if ‘I’ am indeed ‘my’ feelings then ‘I’ can altruistically sacrifice ‘myself’. If ‘I’ am separated from ‘my’ roots no such thing will ever take place. Furthermore the human condition is not something that happens to ‘me’, not something ‘I’ am a victim to, rather the human condition is what ‘I’ am. VINEETO: Yes, well said. If ‘I’ don’t acknowledge/ recognize that ‘I’ am my feelings then the actualism method won’t work, then ‘I’ am stuck with believing that ‘I’ am having feelings, and they won’t budge. Only when you can see that freedom is in ‘your’ hands can you start doing something about your situation and unravel the mess which is the human condition. KUBA: That in order to exist ‘I’ must assert ‘my’ role in what happens, but this goes against the facts. ‘I’ am maintaining ‘myself’ against the facts – no wonder it is a painful endeavour. VINEETO: The ‘doer’ plays an important role when you start doing something so radically different to your nature and conditioning until you get to the point where you can access pure intent – then you can begin to naïvely allow the universe to live your life. KUBA: And yet as I write this now pride still remains, and what I mean by this is this fundamental feeling/belief which states that ‘I’ am somehow required, that ‘I’ know better than the universe, that this moment is incomplete if not for ‘my’ tinkering with it. But really this is like a self-fulfilling prophecy, because it is ‘I’ who is the arbiter of how this moment should apparently happen and then when it does not go according to ‘my’ demands ‘I’ take it as proof that ‘I’ am required. This thing of pride it really does seem to be a key aspect of how ‘I’ maintain ‘myself’, in fact can any identity exist without pride? It is like Richard wrote that ‘I’ am proud of ‘my’ biggest achievement which is maintaining ‘myself’ as an identity. VINEETO: Ah, pride, the last bulwark against ‘your’ disappearance! And yet Richard also tells you what happens when pride abdicates – Richard: Without the defences of the identity I can stand proud, as I do not need to maintain myself as ‘someone’ in particular with relation to others. An unusual anonymity has freed me from the ‘normal’ responsibility and onerous task of sustaining ‘myself’. (Richard’s Journal, p. 100) Now that you discovered that your “caring can be cranked up without it becoming an emotional involvement” any day now the instinctive altruistic impulse can be activated and take the place of your ‘self’-maintaining pride for the benefit of every body. In the meantime the game of how close can we get is still a fun challenge. Cheers Vineeto June 21 2025 Richard: (…) the global spread of peace and harmony – as well as individual peace-on-earth – is not taking place via having to ‘convince the few left’ (to use your phrasing); as it is a matter of consciousness – consciousness, as in, a flesh-and-blood body being conscious, or sentient – it is spreading via common consciousness and, to utilise the words of the well-known correspondent, it has already ‘escaped into the wild’ and there is nothing, absolutely nothing, which can now halt its spread. (Richard, List D, No. 2, 15 February 2012). KUBA: OK yes so that scenario of the last unfree person on earth being unable to self-immolate is just a joke after all The above is fascinating, it is to say that with each individual becoming actually free the “landscape” of common human consciousness is changed again. So the common human consciousness now is not the same as it was when Richard became actually free, and there is no way to tell for sure what the flow-on effect will be each time another person becomes actually free. So essentially it is way more than just a “game of numbers”. VINEETO: Hi Kuba, Just to give you the full information that it’s not only common consciousness – a flesh-and-blood body being conscious – contributing to “the global spread of peace and harmony” but also the web of psychic felicitous and innocuous vibes and currents. • [Co-Respondent]: These analogies [‘a whirlpool or an eddy of water or air’] are illustrative but not clarifying. • [Richard]: I will put it this way, then: do you comprehend that an identity’s anger, for instance, can be affectively felt by another identity from a near-distance and, as such, can have an effect (and, quite often, the desired effect) despite the intervening physical space ... and that the same applies to love (for another instance) or virtually any other strongly-felt feeling? If so, then by experientially going deeper into those affective feelings it can be found that they swirl around, as it were, forming a whirlpool or an eddy and thus creating a centre (a vortex) which is the very stuff of the swirling as the one is not distinct from the other ... ‘you’ are ‘your’ feelings and ‘your’ feelings are ‘you’. It is that vortex – which is essentially ‘you’ at the core of ‘your’ being – that is the (affective) force known as a psychic force ... it is not for nothing that I say psychic currents are the most effective power plays. (Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 74e, 10 August 2005). Now these very same psychic currents can have a powerful beneficial effect when they are felicitous and innocuous i.e. happy and harmless feelings – 05 January 2010: • [Co-Respondent]: ... the way is open for the consciousness mutation to be implemented on a global level. • [Richard]: Indeed so ... via happy and harmless (affective) ‘vibes’ and felicitous and innocuous (psychic) ‘currents’. (I have oft-times said that is where the real power-play occurs). (Long Awaited Announcement). As you can see, Richard wrote the above on 5 Jan 2010, after the opening of the Direct Route, whereas the quote regarding “the global spread of peace and harmony … is spreading via common consciousness” he wrote on 15 Feb 2012, which was after Vineeto had become the same as Richard, in other words after there were both a male and a female fully free. Cheers Vineeto June 22 2025 VINEETO: Ha, not for nothing did Richard emphasise that “nothing can be swept under the carpet”. It’s great you found out that you are “those jitters and all the rest of it”, expressions of the basic instinctual passion of fear, “encircling all of humankind”. There is no shame in admitting that they are surfacing from time to time in this most daring of enterprises in human consciousness. KUBA: And spending the day today in the bester territory but without this fear of the jitters anymore, it has been incredible. VINEETO: You said it well – “fear of the jitters” – it is the fear of fear which is the largest aspect of it, and once you allow the feeling itself without feeding it with fear of fear then what remains is mostly small potatoes. Here is something I read today, which you might find relevant explaining that ‘not expressing the feeling’ (or even being unaware of the feeling) nevertheless will involuntarily radiate its accompanying vibes. Of course, felicitous/ innocuous feelings will respectively radiate felicitous/ innocuous vibes and psychic currents. RESPONDENT: Also, what is the relative importance with the actualism method of ‘not expressing’ an emotion as opposed to feeling happy and harmless, thus putting out happy and harmless vibes? RICHARD: As there is no such [quote] ‘actualism method of ‘not expressing’ an emotion’ [endquote] it is difficult to determine just what it is you are asking ... and why you are. If what you are referring to is to neither express nor suppress any of the ‘good’ or ‘bad’ feelings/ emotions/ passions – and thus put them into a bind so the third alternative (felicity/ innocuity) may hove into view – then the relative importance (to use your phrasing) is the resultant involuntary extrasensorial emanation of those happy and harmless vibes into the human psyche, in particular, and the animal psyche in general. RESPONDENT: If good and bad vibes are felt by others regardless of emotional expression, why is it important not to express the good and bad feelings if they will be felt regardless of expression? RICHARD: As nowhere is it advised that it is [quote] ‘important not to express the good and bad feelings’ [endquote] then I am unable to answer your query as-is. (It is, essentially, a matter of choice/ personal preference as to what feelings are expressed). What I can say is this: as the many and various emotions/ passions are the same affective energy, at root, then directing all of that affective energy into being the felicitous/ innocuous feelings (that is, ‘me’ at the core of ‘my’ being, which is ‘being’ itself), via minimisation of the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ feelings and maximisation of the happy and harmless feelings, will have the effect of involuntarily radiating felicitous/ innocuous vibes and currents as a matter of course. RESPONDENT: Isn’t it possible to hide what one is feeling? RICHARD: If you mean ‘hide what one is feeling’ as in disguising the physical effects such feeling has on one’s vocal chords/ one’s physiognomy/ one’s posture (as per the tone of voice/ facial expression/ body language mentioned further above) then, yes, of course one can ... peoples everywhere do so regularly on a daily basis. (Diplomats, for an obvious instance, elevate doing so into a high art-form as part and parcel of their job-description). If, however (going by your follow-up question below), you mean is it possible to hide the affective vibes which all feeling-beings involuntarily transmit, extrasensorially, by virtue of affectively/ psychically existing as a ‘being’ then, no, one cannot ... and the word ‘involuntarily’ should explain why. RESPONDENT: Is it a matter of sensitivity whether or not a vibe is picked up if it is not expressed? RICHARD: As a vibe is not [quote] ‘expressed’ [quote], but is involuntarily transmitted regardless of whether feelings are expressed or suppressed, your query cannot be answered as-is. What I can say is this: it is a matter of sensitivity whether affective vibes are consciously discerned or not. The vast majority of feeling-beings experience other feeling-being’s vibes as if they are their own feelings – and are, of course, totally oblivious to the very existence of psychic currents – as is evidenced with people like yourself denying there is any such thing as is reported/ described/ explained on The Actual Freedom Trust website (and repeatedly talking about physical cues/ physical means as if those physical effects which feelings display bodily were the vibes themselves). * So as to obviate this email exchange getting ever-longer, with yet more and more back-and-forth additions, it would be great if you could comprehend this one thing: A feeling-being, by virtue of being an affective/ psychic ‘being’, involuntarily emanates/ transmits/ radiates affective vibes (and psychic currents), extrasensorially, regardless of whether they express or suppress feelings and/or whether they display or conceal any physical effects feelings may have on their tone of voice/ their facial expression/ their body language. (Richard, List D, No. 25c, 29 October 2013) Cheers Vineeto June 27 2025 CHRONO: Continuing on from my reflection, the initial feeling of this ‘put others before oneself’ type of operating seems to be guilt. I experienced it first as an anxiety and a ‘scan’ of how others view me. I sometimes experience a glimpse of what’s underneath it. This fits in with harmlessness and how I want others to accept me before I will feel good continuously. My experience is that it’s actually very easy to feel good once this is out of the picture. This feeling of guilt and anxiety I experience creates a helplessness (victim). By being this victim, I am wanting the other to antidotally respond with loving or compassionate feelings. With that, I will feel accepted and thus let myself feel good. To contemplate feeling good forever without the permission of ‘others’ feels callous. Another interesting related aspect that I’ve noted is that when you’re in love, you automatically put the other before yourself. It’s the nature of love so now it makes sense why it’s advocated by the enlightened people. VINEETO: Hi Chrono, This is an excellent reporting of the various aspects of ‘me’ standing in the way of feeling good. Yesterday I watched the ‘Virtual Freedom’ video again and Peter reminded me of something I had almost forgotten – how hard it was at first to allow himself to be happy and harmless. What was one of the two main objections that he would have to go against the whole thrust of human ‘wisdom’, that one is not allowed to be happy. I suspect at least part of your “feeling of guilt and anxiety” is arising out of that overall stipulation to not fall ‘out of line’, generated by everyone’s vibes and psychic currents. Hence your reaction so far has been to dutifully feel “guilt and anxiety” and the various consequential feelings, if you aim for “feeling good forever without the permission”. Fortunately, even though it sometimes feels like an unsurmountable barrier, the facts are that 1. you can change yourself unilaterally (and only pay lip service when necessary) – in other words, you neither need permission nor allies in this game how happy and harmless can I feel, and 2. the affective felicitous and innocuous vibes are contagious (just like the malicious and sorrowful vibes are), and they are more contagious the more you confidently allow yourself to be that way. CHRONO: Once I saw that all it was, was guilt, I had an experience and seeing of what’s underneath. Underneath the guilt and resentment is unbridled aggression. I wrote above about how I feel angry at others for not accepting me and in turn to feel good. But this made me more aware of the anger underneath in myself. I usually am considered a ‘chill guy’ but all of that anger and aggression is right there. I started thinking up all of the times that I do feel it and it’s actually quite a bit. It’s all under the guise of “Righteous” anger or indignation. Anger that’s acceptable by society. You can be angry when something unfair happens. One example that people may overlook but surely experience is when you are driving. There are many incidents of road rage that happen, but often people only see those people as out of control and not themselves as well. I also get angry at other drivers (e.g. if someone is going very slow). This is all considered okay because the other driver choosing to go slow or doing whatever is “not okay” (unacceptable). Often driving in traffic, you can see these aspects of yourself. This aggression felt like a huge beast waiting inside a cave. It’s only the fear of the ‘many’ which keeps it in check. Weirdly, when someone does end up acting out their aggression, it’s an unmentioned expectation that they feel guilty about it. So I must be pre-emptively feeling it so that it never happens. But as I looked around, this same beast was in everyone. It was no different. This burden was being carried by everyone. VINEETO: Indeed, wanting to be happy when everyone else prefers to follow the dictum to be sad or bad is not the only reason for feeling guilty. And as you found out, blaming others for feeling angry or not liked is pointless and only aggravates feeling bad. Everyone is inflicted by the same instinctual passions, hence no need to feel either guilty or resentful. The very fact that you have the sincere intent to do something about your aggression, and know a way to do that effectively, is already a eminent position to appreciate. Here is how feeling being ‘Vineeto’ described ‘her’ own discoveries – ‘Vineeto’: ‘As I am the one who on my own accord is investigating my own fraudulent existence, nobody else can expose me more than I am already doing so myself! And I am not only admitting that ‘I’ am a fraud, ‘I’ am also ready and willing to take the cure – ‘self’-immolation. Once this commitment to eliminate my own aggression and my own taking offence is taken fully on board, then aggressive arrows of others simple fall flat on the ground. The aggression of others can only trigger fear and anger in me as long as I nourish malice in myself. When I start examining my own anger and maliciousness with the sincere intent to eradicate it source, ‘me’, then I can be confident that there is no glint of malice in what I say and write and therefore other people’s accusations simply look silly. As I am the one who on my own accord is investigating my own fraudulent existence, nobody else can expose me more than I am already doing so myself! And I am not only admitting that ‘I’ am a fraud, ‘I’ am also ready and willing to take the cure – ‘self’-immolation. When I revisited this post that I had written four years ago, I could see my process of learning to think in action. I remember that each paragraph was the end product of mulling over topics, of sincere investigation into my emotions and of honest questioning of my beliefs. I remembered how I had enjoyed the process of discovery and the act of describing it to someone else. One thing, however, was always top priority in my writing – I needed to be 100% sure that I was in no way malicious, grumpy, resentful, spiteful, revengeful or aggressive in what I said. This means sticking to the facts and being aware of the slightest emotional reaction that I might have while making good use of it for investigative purposes each time it happens. (Actualism, Vineeto, Actual Freedom List, Gary-d, 24.6.2001) CHRONO: There were only superficial differences and no one was special. Not even a ‘chill guy’ like me . I feel this aggression more intensely when I think about the ‘unfairness’ in the world. When I watch the news, it does not make sense and I just play out a scenario in my head of how whoever I think is responsible (usually the “upper” class) gets punished severely. It’s truly a never-ending cycle. But now I experienced myself as responsible as well. Seeing all this makes it easier to sift through the facts as that pull towards how I should think or approach life based on if it feels ‘Right’ or ‘Wrong’ has greatly lessened. But even further to that, my intent to feel good come what may now can stand on its own. Because when I saw that others were also keeping at bay this same unbridled aggression, it became more clear that no one actually knows what they are doing. Previously I wrote that others seem to know something that I don’t. Now there’s no reason to go along with that feeling as it seems silly. It’s very fascinating how all of these feelings come together and feed each other. Many of them also seem to be weaker now. Especially the negative ones that I was feeling with my partner where I felt like I had to be anxiously grasping. I’m able to allow her more to be in her own space and I meet her from where I am if that makes any sense. VINEETO: It is really amazing how dealing with one issue, anger, and aiming to be harmless, has such beneficial results on being able to play together rather than the automatic hide, defence and attack-mode. It is quite magically and remarkably enjoyable and buoyant. CHRONO: I’m reflecting on time now as I inevitably always come back to this and it seems very related to feeling good. The words that ‘this moment is the only moment of being alive’ seem to really stand out more. There’s an automatic sensuousness and feeling good that accompanies this seeing. It’s like how could I forget that this is my only moment of being alive?! Sometimes when I see it, it’s like waking up from a dream from everything prior. Everything prior doesn’t exist. There’s a great significance to this occurrence. Maybe I can rephrase my question then to ‘how can I fully enjoy and appreciate this moment of being alive forever?’ . I think ‘oh yes everyone knows this’, but I am seeing more nowadays that everyone does not see that this is the only moment of being alive. When I tell my partner or friends something like ‘isn’t it interesting that it’s always this moment?’, they often almost dismiss it and not realize the full import of it. Just the other day I was noticing this moment more and more and ‘pushed the envelope’ a little further. It’s so wonderful that this is the only moment of being alive, so precious, that I simply don’t know how to describe it. I had to take a step back from this further seeing after that because I had tears in my eyes. What would take me to ‘push the envelope’ more? VINEETO: Ha, and once you are back to feeling good and understood more of which dominant feeling was the trigger and how you tick, then there is room for sensuousness and remembering to appreciate this moment of being alive … and to be like that forever no longer seems impossible. What would it take to ‘push the envelope’ more? – more of the same, looking sincerely at the obstacles and then enjoy more and appreciate more being alive, in this only moment you can experience, now. CHRONO: Ah! Something else I was reflecting about and I forgot to write down. To be happy and harmless seems to be related to caring. This in turn is related to vibes and psychic currents. Stay tuned! VINEETO: It’s wonderful to hear you say this. This sentence from Richard from many years ago may sound familiar to you – Richard: Now that you indubitably know what apperception is – as per your ‘It was undoubtedly an experience of apperception’ sentence – and how to evoke it (as in your ‘Then as I stuck with that seeing that it was this moment of being alive I was pulled towards it. The pull itself was exhilarating and thrilling’ sentences) you may very well come to look back upon this day as being the turning-point of your life, eh? (Richard, List D, No. 44, 2 January 2014).
