# Actual Freedom – Catalogue

## Actual Intimacy; Artificial Intimacy; Pseudo Intimacy 1. An actual intimacy surpasses the highest or deepest feeling of love possible. (Richard, List B, No. 33c, #actualintimacy) 2. The conventional wisdom is to cover-up the base carnal passions with a gloss of love so as to effect a pseudo-intimacy. (Richard, List B, No. 33c, #pseudointimacy) 3. An artificial intimacy that the ‘undivided’ feeling of oneness provides is a pathetic substitute for the actual intimacy which becomes apparent when ‘I’ as ego and ‘me’ as soul cease to parasitically inhabit the body creating the division in the first place. (Richard, List B, No. 12i, #artificialintimacy) 4. An actual intimacy plays no favourites and brooks no exclusive friendship. (Richard, List B, No. 40, #actualintimacy) 5. In an actual freedom, intimacy is not dependent upon cooperation. (Richard, List B, No. 19b, #actualintimacy) 6. When ‘I’ self-immolate in ‘my’ entirety ... an actual intimacy emerges that beggars comparison. (Richard, List B, Gary, #actualintimacy) 7. Love Agapé is seen and known to be a pathetic surrogate for the actual intimacy of direct experiencing. (Richard, List B, No. 34b, #actualintimacy) 8. To be living the PCE twenty four hours a day (...) is an actual intimacy with everyone and everything ... not just beautiful women. (Richard, List B, No. 33a, #actualintimacy) 9. Actual intimacy frees one up to a world of factual splendour, based firmly upon sensate and sensual delight. (Richard, List B, No. 14b, #actualintimacy) 10. Fear is the barrier to being intimate ... yet fear is the doorway into intimacy. (Richard, List B, No. 49, #actualintimacy) 11. There is an actual intimacy with everything – the rocks, the concrete buildings, a piece of paper – literally everything. (Richard, List B, James, #actualintimacy) 12. I also detailed how feeling-being ‘Grace’, who was exacting in evaluating ‘her’ differing ways of being a ‘self’, had gradations of scale in regards to intimacy (Richard, Abditorium, Intimacy, #Intimacyscale) 13. In the same way that excellence experiences (EE’s) were a notable feature of feeling-being ‘Richard’s virtual freedom experiencing circa March-September 1981, although of course not named as such back then, so too did intimacy experiences (IE’s) play a similarly significant role even though increasingly overshadowed by the insistent emergence of love – and, especially, Love Agapé – in the later months due to a marked lack of precedence and, thus, of any praxeological publications (nowadays made freely available on The Actual Freedom Trust web site) on the distinction betwixt the near-innocent intimacy of naïveté and the affectional intimacy of romance lore and legend. (Richard, Abditorium, Intimacy, #Intimacyexperience) 14. Consequentially, that ‘over-arching benevolence and benignity’, which the feeling-being inhabiting this flesh-and-blood body all those years ago experienced [via a PCE] and named ‘pure intent’, became directly immanently accessible to some select associates during a specific situational setting called ‘The Second Convivium Gathering’, in late 2009/early 2010, and was variously experienced by them as a ‘palpable sweetness’, for instance, and an ‘infinite tenderness’, for example, and has been more generally described as ‘being bathed in intimacy’. (Richard, List D, James, #intimacy) 15. Have you never wondered, for instance, why the near-innocent intimacy of naïveté does not feature in dictionary listings of various forms of intimacy/ ways of being intimate? (Richard, List B, Andrew, #intimacy) 16. (...) man-woman sexuality and intimacy is the genesis of family and thus *the very core of civilisation itself* ...”. [emphasis added]. (Richard, List D, Andrew, #intimacy2) 17. Look, the reason why that “real intimacy” term of yours does not appear on The Actual Freedom Trust web site is essentially no different to why a term such as, say, ‘real sincerity’ also does not feature ... (Richard, List D, No. 46, #realintimacy) 18. Thus, by the prefacing of the word ‘intimacy’, in this instance, with the word ‘actual’—so as to refer to how intimacy is experienced in actuality (where flesh-and-bodies already reside)—the necessity of explaining what newly-coined words mean is thereby obviated. (Richard, List D, No. 46, #intimacy) 19. What is immediately noticeable is how the listings in the various dictionary entries do not feature the near-innocent intimacy of naïveté. (Richard, List D, No. 46, #intimacy2) 20. ... there are occasions, when interacting intensively with fellow residents of Terra Actualis, where a particularly exquisite form of that ambrosial intimacy (sweetness, tenderness, togetherness, gentleness, softness, and so on) (Richard, List D, Martin, #intimacy) 21. As libido is null and void for me then being sexually active or not is purely a matter of preference. What this means in effect is that sexual congress, because of its utter proximity, has more to do with intimacy than anything else. (Richard, List D, No. 20, #intimacy) 22. Actual intimacy – no separation (no separative self whatsoever) – cannot wax and wane/ come and go/ switch on and off here in this actual world (the world of the senses). Upon an actual freedom from the human condition an actual intimacy is the norm with every body and every thing regardless of whatever their or its current situation and circumstances might be. (Richard, List D, No. 20, #actualintimacy) 23. ... there is only the hovering indefinitely on that orgastic plateau when all else drops away. Once this is established the sex takes care of itself and full attention can be paid to intimacy (Richard, List D, No. 20, #sexualintimacy) 24. Hence it came to pass one fine evening that feeling-being ‘Vineeto’ realised, with a profound visceral impact, how ‘she’ had never actually cared – although ‘she’ certainly felt caring (in fact ‘she’ had a deeply-ingrained and ongoing feeling of caring about all the misery and mayhem) – and upon that realisation transforming itself into an actualisation (as per the intimacy-yearning process detailed in the ‘Direct Route Mail-Out № 05 email part-quoted at the top of this page) it activated “a caring which is as close to an actual caring as an identity can muster” and there was indeed action which was not of ‘her’ doing ... to wit: the ending of ‘her’ and all ‘her’ subterfuge and trickery (just to stay in keeping with the above wording purely for effect). (Richard, List D, Srinath2, #intimacyyearning) 25. Because the means ‘she’ elected to utilise towards these ends was the near-actual intimacy which goes hand-in-hand with a near-actual caring (per favour that afore-mentioned absence of self-centredness/ self-centricity which typifies being out-from-control) (Richard, List D, Srinath2, #near-actual-intimacy) 26. Indeed, the dearth of intimacy was both the content of conversation and the precipitative feature at the interactive occasion which elicited (what turned out to be) the sustained PCE. An actual intimacy (no separate identity) requires no reciprocation. (Richard, List D, No. 12, #intimacy) 27. ... the well-known correspondent gratuitously (unsolicited) reported how the intimacy of the first meeting (Richard, List D, No. 12, #intimacy2) RETURN TO CATALOGUE INDEX RICHARD’S HOME PAGE 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.
