Actual Freedom – Catalogue

1. Apperception – a clear and clean perception – means that the peace-on-earth which is already always just here right now will be apparent.

2. Because of the holistic associations concomitant to the term ‘choiceless awareness’ (a fragmented or split ‘self’ integrated or made whole) it is pertinent to note that the term ‘apperceptive awareness’ does not signify a metaphysical (non-material) awareness.

3. Apperception happens when the ‘who’ inside abdicates its throne and a pure awareness occurs.

4. In order for a PCE to happen one’s identity (‘I’ as ego and ‘me’ as soul) go into abeyance and perception becomes apperception (which is the mind’s awareness of itself being conscious as distinct from ‘I’ being aware of ‘me’ being conscious).

5. To grasp the character of infinitude with certainty, the reasoning mind must forsake its favoured process of intellectual understanding through logical and/or intuitive imagination and enter into the realm of a pure consciousness experience (apperception).

6. All the while, there is this apperceptive awareness of being here ... of being alive in the infinitude of this universe. No words occur ... it is a wordless appreciation of being able to be here, now.

7. ... the affective faculty is non-existent in either a PCE or an actual freedom and thought may or may not operate in the concomitant apperceptive awareness.

8. ... apperception (selfless awareness) is an unmediated perspicacity wherein one is this universe experiencing itself as a sensate and reflective human being; as such the universe is stunningly aware of its own infinitude.

9. One needs to contact, or have a connection with, apperceptive awareness so as to no longer be alone in the monumental endeavour to end all the misery and mayhem which epitomises the human condition.

10. Apperception reveals that identity (both ‘I’ as ego and ‘me’ as soul) creates a centre to consciousness – and thus a boundary (or circumference) – which is then projected onto this universe’s properties ... the ending of identity is the ending of such boundaries.

11. When one is totally fascinated, reflective contemplation becomes pure awareness ... and then apperception happens of itself.

12. I can only presume that whoever wrote that definition for apperception had knowledge of pure consciousness experiences for it is a very apt description ... .

13. I am talking of the physical infinitude of this physical universe (‘this infinite and eternal and perpetual universe’) thus the energy of infinitude referred to is a physical energy ... specifically the calorific energy of an apperceptive consciousness.

14. If one minimises the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ feelings and activates the felicitous/innocuous feelings – happiness, delight, joie de vivre/ bonhomie, friendliness, amiablity and so on – in conjunction with sensuousness, then the ensuing sense of amazement, marvel and wonder can result in apperceptiveness.
