Richard’s Selected Correspondence
On Common Consciousness
RICHARD: A reminder here that my usage of the word immanence (“the state or condition of existing or operating
within” or “existing or remaining within; inherent” or “remaining within; indwelling;
inherent”) is perhaps somewhat idiosyncratic through having purloined its
pantheistic connotation (relating to a deity being all-pervading or present throughout the universe) so as to secularly refer to the physical
presence of a fellow human creature/ of fellow human creatures, proximately pervading each other’s field of consciousness/ each other’s
sentiency field such as to be, in effect, part-and-parcel of a consciousness-in-common (a.k.a. ‘common consciousness’) due to the ‘action
potentials’ of excitable cells generating a mutually innervational electrical field (i.e., electromotive force). (Richard’s Personal Webpage, various, Electromagnetic Force).
More details here:  (Richard, List D, Martin 47#emf, 6 July 2015)
Viz.:
• [Martin]: Is there any relation in your opinion between these
forms of pure intent and what you call “the quickening”? [quote]: “These last few months, beginning in the
morning of Friday the 7th of October, 2011, a clearer, finer version of ‘the quickening’ has been subtly making
itself noticed more and more; by ‘clearer, finer’ I mean the visual field is marked by a distinct crystalline
character, rather than a golden hue, and the sparkling effervescence, which is more full-body this time around, has
a much finer quality to it such that a fine-champagne-bubbles type of word my second wife (de jure) made up all
those years ago—‘tintling’—seems to be most apt”. [endquote]. Thanks.
• [Richard]: Indeed so ... thus far that calorific energy (i.e., electrochemical potency), which
feeling-being ‘Grace’ dubbed “the quickening” when ‘she’ arrived back from New Zealand in late 2009 and similarly
initiated its activation, to full effect whilst intensively interacting, has been a feature peculiar to me, in its
active operation, although there is no reason why a similar activation would not occur with regards Vineeto were a
similarly motivated fellow human being to interact in a like manner.
In fact it would be odd if it did not (I am no fan of ‘freak of nature’ hypotheses).
Although the data-pool is way too small (a handful of cases), to reliably draw information from,
there are enough indications already to suggest that the suitably motivated feeling-being—having become so vitally interested in
and oriented solely towards the sensate world (i.e., the actual world) as to be naïveté itself (essentially, being
out-from-control, in a different-way-of-being, with all of that embodied ‘being’ on board) and thus having a one
hundred percent exclusive focus on that one thing (i.e., their destiny) and that one thing alone—will thereby be
psychosomatically⁽⁰¹⁾ exciting the ‘action
potentials’, of virtually every excitable cell⁽⁰²⁾
constituting the physical body unwittingly embodying that ‘being’, which excited cells generate an electrical
field such as to innervate its activation in the corresponding excitable cells of this flesh-and-blood body, by that
or as that very intensity of interacting.
I have declined to speculate any more than this quite spare skeleton of an hypothesis—my knowledge of
electromotive force, for instance, is too meagre to proceed further anyway—but after nigh-on twenty-three years of
being sans identity in toto (i.e., sans the entire affective faculty, which extirpation includes, of course, its
epiphenomenal psychic facility) I can categorically rule out any operant affective vibe and/or psychic current whatsoever.
’Tis all quite magical in its effect⁽⁰³⁾, though.
__________
⁽⁰¹⁾psychosomatic (adj.): 1. of, relating to,
concerned with, or involving both mind and body; [e.g.]: “The psychosomatic nature of man”. (Herbert
Ratner); 2. of, relating to, involving, or concerned with bodily symptoms caused by mental or emotional disturbance;
‘psychosomatic symptoms’; ‘psychosomatic medicine’; [e.g.]: “The doctor told her that her stomach problems
were psychosomatic in origin”; 3. caused by mental or emotional problems rather than by physical illness;
(adv.): psychosomatically. [first known use: 1863]. ~ (Merriam-Webster
Dictionary).
__________
• psychosomatic (adj.): 1. (of an illness) caused by stress and worry, rather than by a physical problem such as
an infection; [e.g.]: “I began to experience psychosomatic symptoms such as stomach aches and headaches”;
2. (specialist): connected with the relationship between the mind and the body. [from
Greek ψυχή (psychí), ‘soul’, ‘mind’ + σῶμα (sóma), ‘body’]. ~ (Oxford English Dictionary).
__________
⁽⁰²⁾Exciting the ‘action potentials’ of virtually
every excitable cell. Viz.:
• [Richard]: “(...). Interestingly enough, nerve impulses, more technically called ‘action potentials’,
occur in several types of animal cells, called excitable cells, which include neurons, muscles cells and endocrine
cells. In neurons they play a central role in cell-to-cell communication. Nearly all these cells function as
batteries in the sense that they maintain a voltage difference between the interior and the exterior of the cell,
with the interior being the negative pole of the battery. The voltage of a cell is measured in thousands of a volt
(millivolts). A typical voltage is approximately one-fifteenth of a volt (i.e., seventy millivolts). Because cells
are so small, voltages of this magnitude give rise to very strong electric forces within the cell membrane. (The
above based upon Wikipedia entry on ‘Action Potential’).
Also, speaking of ‘matter-as-energy’, a ‘magnetic field’, an ‘electric current’ (...in the above elided
section...), and ‘very strong electric forces within the cell membrane’ (aka “action potentials”) I am
reminded of having written the following brief note back in 2004. Viz.:
• [Richard]: “(...) I personally favour the ‘electric-cosmos’ hypothesis, also known as the ‘plasma-universe’ hypothesis, which is based upon the
findings of Mr. Halton Arp, as it shows promise of being a far more fruitful line of investigation into what the nuts and bolts of the universe
are than anything else I have come across so far.
’Tis only an opinion, though”.
(Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 27, 17 March 2004).
This is all such fun!” (Richard, List D, Claudiu2, 28 May 2013).
__________
⁽⁰³⁾’Tis all quite magical in its effect, though. Viz.:
• [Respondent № 25]: You are also writing that Vineeto was able to pick up on a
sense of ‘sweetness’ of the ‘quickening’. Considering that I don’t know of any scientific evidence for such communication at a distance ...
• [Richard]: As an actual freedom from the human condition is entirely new to human
experience, and, thus, human history, then how on earth could there possibly be any scientific evidence yet for the
way of enabling and/or facilitating access to this completely new consciousness—a totally original way of
flesh-and-blood bodies being conscious—for all humankind to avail themselves of? Are you really saying I should
wait for some boffin in a white coat in a laboratory somewhere to provide scientific evidence for that way of
enabling and/or facilitating this access before ...um... proceeding with enabling and/or facilitating that access?
Look, I wrote about this very topic, on The Actual Freedom Trust website, over two years ago. Viz.:
• [Richard]: “(...) the reason why the word ‘magic’ is utilised (magic as in prestidigitation and not as in
a sorcerer’s magic) is because *no other word currently exists to adequately convey how a lifetime of cares and
woes—all the misery and mayhem which epitomises the human condition—can vanish in an instant* (and vanish so
completely as to have never been in the first place). [emphasis added]. (Long
Awaited Announcement, Tool-tip)
What I have written elsewhere may be of some assistance in comprehension. Viz.:
• [Richard]: “(...) it has to be experienced, as a flesh and blood body only (as in here
in this actual world) in order to understand how things operate in actuality. And, just as stone-age natives thought
of cameras and/or photographs as ‘magic’ boxes and/or ‘magic’ pictures (and not as the readily explicable
technology it is) so too is the way in which things can operate here quite ‘magical’. (Richard, List D, No. 12, 7 January 2010).
In other words, just as it took millennia for humankind collectively to comprehend heliocentricity, for instance, so
too may it be ages before the way things operate in actuality—how things function here in this actual world—be
properly examined, be hypothesised about, be rigorously tested and, thus, explained in such a manner that the word
‘magical’ (as in ‘magic’ boxes and/or ‘magic’ pictures) need never be utilised again.
Lastly, you must have read those above words as Vineeto quoted them to you in a private email she sent to you (on
Wednesday the 25th of January, 2012, at 9:19 PM) in response to your private requests for clarification about
“magic” and “paranormal powers”. (Richard, List D, No. 25, February 12, 2012).
(Richard, List D, Martin, July 06, 2015).
(Richard, Abditorium, Immanence).
RICK: Richard, is there thus a non-psychic, physical, invisible or visible, actual energetic
circuit, current, or connection between physical bodies that can affect other bodies from distances of up to several, several miles?
RICHARD: G’day Rick, I will answer the latter part of your query first (about distances up to several miles) by
providing the relevant section of a private email I wrote in October last year. Viz.:
• [Richard]: ‘(...) This morning whilst interacting with Peter it [the quickening] was happening for about an hour and a
half, between 10:45 and 12:15 PM, to quite a marked degree ... to such a marked degree, in fact, that at its peak Vineeto happened to experience
it, at 11:28 AM, as she was getting into her parked car in a town about 35 kilometres away. She described it as a ‘sweetness’ (and thus took
note of the time)’. (Monday the 17th October, 2011 8:31 PM).
As to what the nature is, of this way of enabling/ facilitating access to the completely new consciousness – a totally
original way of flesh-and-blood bodies being conscious – for all humankind to avail themselves of, it (of course) is purely physical in nature.
And, as this topic of the nature of bodily energy has been canvassed before, many times, on The Actual Freedom Trust website I
will draw attention to that fact by providing a relevant quote. Viz.:
• [Co-Respondent]: ‘... some of your body processes are cellular, some are molecular and some are electric.
• [Richard]: ‘This flesh and blood body is part cellular (matter as mass) and part electric (matter as energy) ... a ‘molecule’,
just like an ‘atom’, is a mathematical model.
• [Co-Respondent]: ‘What are the constituents out of which ‘energy’ is made?
• [Richard]: ‘The constituents out of which the energy of this flesh and blood body is made are the carrots and lettuce
and milk and cheese, and whatever else is consumed, in conjunction with the air breathed and the water drunk and the sunlight absorbed’.(Richard, Actual Freedom List, No. 25i, 7 June 2005).
So, where I have just now written, above, that ‘the quickening’ (of course) is purely physical in nature I am clearly
meaning the word physical in the sense that matter can be either mass (as in my ‘matter as mass’ words in that quote) or energy (as in my ‘matter
as energy’ words in that quote).
Furthermore, where I wrote to Respondent No. 25 (Richard, List D, No. 25, 6 February
2012)
about how ‘a tremendous surge of calorific energy travelled from the lower solar-plexus’ on the 16th of November 2009, when what became known
as ‘the quickening’ first manifested, I am clearly meaning ‘calorific energy’ in the sense of what is unambiguously conveyed in that ‘the
constituents out of which the energy of this flesh and blood body is made are the carrots and lettuce and milk and cheese, and whatever else is
consumed, in conjunction with the air breathed and the water drunk and the sunlight absorbed’ response of mine, in that above quote, to the
specific question as to what the nature of the electrical energy of this flesh-and-blood body typing these words is.
Therefore, just because No. 25 has decided to arbitrarily declare to all and sundry, after having read the words ‘calorific
energy’ in that report/ description/ explanation I volunteered for his elucidation, in my response to the interest he evinced in regards to what
happened in the period after the death of my second wife (de jure), that my current writings are [quote] ‘just as ‘metaphysical’ as what
one finds on the New Age bookshelves’ [endquote] says nothing at all about me but, rather, a whole lot about him and his
obvious lack of reading what is freely available on The Actual Freedom Trust website ... and, of course, a whole lot more about that interest he
(purportedly) evinced.
RICK: If not, why or how was it that your body was tremendously energetically affected by what
Vineeto was going through. And why or how was it that another body’s experiencing on another continent could be affected by all this?
RICHARD: As simply as possible: human consciousness – as in, flesh-and-blood bodies being conscious (the suffix ‘-ness’
forms a noun expressing a state or condition), or sentient – is common to all human beings.
RICK: If so, do you have any guess (or perhaps certain knowledge) through what physical medium
or physical way or how it is physically this energetic connection is able to be made?
RICHARD: As simply as possible: common consciousness (aka sentience).
RICK: Also, would you say that ‘the quickening’, as an experience, is a marked improvement
or upgrade of your experience immediately prior to the quickening?
RICHARD: No, it is a facility or a way of enabling access to the completely new consciousness (a totally original way
of flesh-and-blood bodies being conscious) for all humankind to avail themselves of.
In other words, the quality of being actually free from the human condition has not changed; what is experienced in a PCE is,
in effect, what is experienced upon an actual freedom from the human condition.
Having said that it is, of course, an exquisite experience to be interacting intimately with a fellow human being – a daring
pioneer – at their pivotal moment/ their definitive experience of becoming (newly) free of the instinctual passions/
the feeling-being formed
thereof.
Just consider, for a moment, how in that very instant the root cause of all the wars and murders and rapes and tortures and
domestic violence and child abuse and suicides, and the such-like, vanishes forever, irrevocably, and then some notion of that exquisiteness may be
gauged.
RICK: And, as you say it is still changing (going from having a golden hue effect to
crystalline, more full body and finer quality) do you have any idea when all this will come to fruition, and what perhaps that fruit will look like
and taste like?
RICHARD: The change you refer to is the outcome of the completely new consciousness (a totally original way of
flesh-and-blood bodies being conscious), for all humankind to avail themselves of, having recently become equitable. (See the last two paragraphs,
plus the footnote, in Message No. 10xxx for some detail). (Richard, List D, Rick, #1).
I will say it again for emphasis: the quality of being actually free from the human condition has not changed.
As for when all this will come to fruition: as I have been mostly wrong when it comes to timing, I am reluctant to make
estimates; nevertheless I am currently optimistic about the present situation moving itself forward sooner rather than later.
As for what the fruit will look like and taste like: as the likelihood of global peace and harmony, in my lifetime, as well as
more and more instances of individual peace-on-earth, became markedly increased due to the epoch-changing events of late
2009/ early 2010 , then the fruit will look like and taste like whatever such a scenario means to you.
RICK: Has the quickening been operating 24/7 since late 2009/2010, or has there been some
interruptions in between ... and what might account for those interruptions, if any occurred?
RICHARD: It operated noticeably from November 2009 through to early February 2010 – all during the epoch-changing
events of late 2009/ early 2010 – and diminished considerably thereafter; it vanished completely around 10 days
after arriving in India in late March 2010 (whilst in Chennai Airport, actually, during a telephone conversation whereupon I gradually slid down the
large internal pillar I was leaning back against until subsiding on the floor in utter exhaustion); the next three months were a period I refer to as
being ‘existentially exhausted’ (the epoch-changing events having taken an enormous toll on my resources) wherein I was nursed back to health by a
very caring woman (two successive bouts of ‘Delhi Belly’ early in this period left me physically depleted as well); this ‘existential exhaustion’
reached its nadir on the 4th of July near a small village called Theog in the Himalayas (where my condition had become similar to many aspects of my
30+ months period); at 11:30 PM that night, in the bathroom of a hotel room in Simla, this ‘existential exhaustion’ came to an abrupt end and I was back
to my normal condition (albeit ‘bigger and better than ever’ as I described it at the time); by the time I arrived in Australia, in early
September as my travel visa expired, my physical health was back to near-normal (a medical check-up shortly after arrival gave a clean bill of
health bar a border-line iron deficiency) and, existentially, I was firing on all sixteen cylinders; the period from then through to the
significant existential event of the 28th of August, 2011, already referred in my email you responded to (much further above) was taken-up almost
entirely by having the then-current situation move itself forward; it was in the 10-day period between that event and the 7th of October that the
finer, crystalline ‘quickening’ had its genesis; since then it has been noticeable mainly as appropriate to the situation and circumstances.
And, speaking of it being ‘appropriate to the situation and circumstances’, I will again make it clear, up-front, that
there is no guarantee being made – be it either expressed or implied – other than to say that, when the conditions are ripe, magic happens.
RICK: Also, will those males and females who become and have become actually free after
yourself and Vineeto ‘miss out’ (so to speak) on ‘the quickening’ experience?
RICHARD: As far as can be ascertained all what is required is both a male and a female (and that is purely for reasons
of the new consciousness being equitable).
Incidentally, there is nothing to be ‘missing out’ on – other than having all your private and confidential
details made public (such as to jeopardise your personal security and physical safety) that is – as the quality of being actually free from the
human condition has not changed.
RICK: Or is the fundamental quality of experiencing what it is to be actually free from the
human condition 100% equitable (in that fundamental sense) to your current experiencing of life?
RICHARD: Perhaps the metaphor of a template might throw some light upon the matter: with both a male and a female being
that ‘template’ (so to speak) this new consciousness is now equitable.
Perhaps this is an apt place to state that, not only has the quality of being actually free from the human condition not
changed, nobody will become a clone of either Richard (if male) or Vineeto (if female).
For instance, the evidence of the first few pioneers shows that a person’s character, their everyday personality, if you
will, remains essentially intact ... just like in a PCE.
RICK: Were you, are you surprised at all by ‘the quickening’ and by the circuit connection
formed between yourself and Vineeto when her freedom came to its ultimate consummation?
RICHARD: The first manifestation of ‘the quickening’ (on the 16th of November 2009) took me completely by surprise
– totally and absolutely – as there had been no indications, no intimations whatsoever, that anything of that nature would happen; what you
read on The Actual Freedom Trust website prior to that (about me being a normal person living a normal life, apart from being sans the entire
affective faculty/ identity in toto that is, and having no interest in ‘guru-circuit’ peoples trooping through my front door, and so on and so
forth) is precisely in accord with my, then, ongoing experiencing over all those years.
The second manifestation, starting 10-days after Vineeto became essentially the same as me (how I have been, on my own, all
these years) did not come as a surprise – nor that significant existential event itself – as some-such outcome as that was our intent. I was
very pleased, however, to no longer have to contain that immensity, that energetic immanence, which is of such a potency, of such a strength, as
would previously (on some occasion) render me utterly passive, completely immobile and scarcely able to bear with it.
Regards, Richard. (Richard, List D, Rick, 11 February 2012).
RESPONDENT: Secondly, I wrote my words due to the fact that you stated that the energy from
‘quickening’ was perceptible by someone on another continent as a ‘sweetness’ or something akin to that.
RICHARD: The fact that you say ‘or something akin to that’ indicates you having not taken much notice of
what I have actually stated. Viz.:
• [Rick]: ‘(...) why or how was it that another body’s experiencing on another continent could be affected by all this?
• [Richard]: ‘As simply as possible: human consciousness – as in, flesh-and-blood bodies being conscious (the suffix ‘-ness’
forms a noun expressing a state or condition), or sentience – is common to all human beings.
• [Rick]: ‘(...) do you have any guess (or perhaps certain knowledge) through what physical medium or physical way or how
it is physically this energetic connection is able to be made?
• [Richard]: ‘As simply as possible: common consciousness (aka sentience). (Richard, List D,
Rick, 11 February 2012).
RESPONDENT: You are also writing that Vineeto was able to pick up on a sense of ‘sweetness’
of the ‘quickening.’ Considering that I don’t know of any scientific evidence for such communication at a distance ...
RICHARD: As an actual freedom from the human condition is entirely new to human experience/ human history how on earth
could there possibly be any scientific evidence yet for the way of enabling/ facilitating access to this completely new consciousness – a totally
original way of flesh-and-blood bodies being conscious – for all humankind to avail themselves of?
Are you really saying I should wait for some boffin in a white coat in a laboratory somewhere to provide scientific evidence
for that way of enabling/ facilitating this access before ... um ... proceeding with enabling/ facilitating that access?

You must surely have read those words as Vineeto quoted them to you in a private email she sent to you (on Wednesday the 25th
of January, 2012, at 9:19 PM) in response to your private requests for clarification about ‘magic’ and ‘paranormal powers’.
RESPONDENT: ... would you mind venturing an hypothesis or theory as to how each of these
events could have occurred in a purely physical manner?
RICHARD: As simply as possible: human consciousness – as in, flesh-and-blood bodies being conscious (the suffix ‘-ness’
forms a noun expressing a state or condition), or sentient – is common to all human beings. In other words, common consciousness (aka sentience).
(Richard, List D, Rick, 11 February 2012).
RESPONDENT: If you wish to convince the few left who are still fence-sitters or convinced
about your path or goal, you may do so (of course) ...
RICHARD: As I am not in the business of convincing anyone – it is the PCE (the direct experience of actuality) which
provides the necessary conviction – your ill-informed advice is entirely irrelevant.
However, it does provide a fascinating insight into how your mind works (as in your ‘to convince the few left’ phrasing)
and what your modus operandi is ... harangue the crowd till they be swayed the sheer oratory of your rhetoric, eh?
For what it is worth: it is a complete waste of time, effort and bandwidth as 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).

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.
