Actual Freedom – Selected Correspondence by Topic

RESPONDENT: You’ve got to see this one: www.theactualsupremebeing.homestead.com . Is this a big goof or does someone think this is for real?

RICHARD: Oh, the ‘someone’ would not only ‘think this is for real’ ... he/she would both deeply feel it to be true and instinctually know it to be real. I have had long and fascinating discussions with peoples of this particular bent over the last nineteen years (for about a week in 1981 I was ‘The Parousia’ myself ... I met the real ‘Second Coming’ in a city street one day and realised that there could not be two of ‘Him’ at the one time). It is all par for the course ... given that religiosity/ spirituality/ mysticality/ metaphysicality is a culturally institutionalised insanity anyway.

RESPONDENT: In case you don’t know who the God incarnation is he’s referring to, it’s Da Free John/Da Love-Ananda/Adi Da.

RICHARD: Yes ... also it would appear that he/she has read Mr. Douglas Adams (of ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy’ fame) because in the fourth book (‘So Long And Thanks For All The Fish’; ISBN: 0671745530; published by Pocket Books) the hero of the trilogy, Mr. Arthur Dent (left at the end of ‘Life, The Universe And Everything’ with having lost the address for where ‘God’s Final Message To His Creation’ is to found), finally retrieves the lost message on the planet ‘Prak’ ... which reads: ‘We apologise for the inconvenience’.

Viz.:

• [The Actual Supreme Being]: ‘I must honestly tell you that this creation [the universe] was a mistake ... ... the clear proof for this is the fact that cosmic existence is dominated by suffering ... It is very important, therefore, that I offer My sincerest apology for any suffering you have had to endure. Being Itself [The Actual Supreme Being] is the only reality that can be seen as being responsible for this action [the universe coming into being] but this action occurred ‘accidentally’, without intention, as a baby just learning to walk might accidentally fall down’.

I noticed that The Actual Supreme Being apologised no less than 13 times ... that makes it all okay, apparently (as a deeply-felt apology ‘fixes’ everything).

RESPONDENT: It all gets stranger and stranger

RICHARD: Not ‘getting’ strange no ... people have been experiencing this particular calenture for centuries (if not millennia) and the ones successful enough in swaying sufficient other people get to become religious leaders.

It is reported that the ‘Princeton Research Associates’ conducted a poll for Newsweek magazine’s 1999-Nov-1 issue. They found that the following percentage of adults believe that the world will end with the battle of Armageddon as described in the Biblical book Revelation:

• 40% of American adults generally.
• 45% of Christian adults.
• 71% of Evangelical Protestants.
• 28% of non-Evangelical Protestants.
• 18% of Roman Catholics.

Of those who believe in Armageddon:

• 47% believe that the Antichrist is on earth now.
• 45% believe that Jesus will return during their lifetime.
• 15% believe that the second coming will occur as early as the year 2000 CE.

Of this group:

• 83% believe that the second coming will be preceded by natural disasters; 66% by epidemics; 62% by mayhem.
• 95% feel that they must ‘get right with the Lord’ now in the expectation that Christ will return.
• 62% feel an obligation to proselytise – to convert non-Christians.
• 68% expect to go to heaven.
• 57% believe in the final judgment where people will be divided into groups for transportation to heaven or hell.

In 1999-Oct, the ‘Pew Research Centre’ released a study called ‘Americans look to the 21st century’. They confirmed the Princeton poll, finding.

• 44% believe that Jesus will probably return during their lifetime.
• 22% say that Jesus will definitely return before 2050 CE.
• 44% believe that Jesus will probably not return during their lifetime.

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.
