Title
- A New and Non-Spiritual Down-to-Earth Freedom
Description
- Excerpted from the website description:
- Actual freedom is a tried and tested way of being happy and harmless in the world as it actually is ... stripped of the veneer of normal reality or Greater Reality which is super-imposed by the psychological and/or psychic entity within the body. This entity is that feeling of identity which inhibits any freedom and sabotages every well-meant endeavour. Thus far one has had only two choices: being normal or being spiritual. Now there is a third alternative ... and it supersedes any humanistic philosophical worldview and/or any mystical Altered State Of Consciousness.

Actual freedom: This physical universe is beginningless and endless (unborn and undying). Spiritual freedom: God (by whatever name) is beginningless and endless (unborn and undying).
Actual freedom: This physical universe is the source of human life (matter gives rise to consciousness). Spiritual freedom: God (by whatever name) is the source of both the universe and human life (consciousness gives rise to matter).

Actual freedom: The soul (by whatever name) is an illusion. Spiritual freedom: The soul (by whatever name) is real.
Actual freedom: Totally new (modern) wisdom substantiated by rigorous empirical objectivity (individualistic commonality). Spiritual freedom: Totally old (ancient) wisdom substantiated by thoughtless metaphysical subjectivity (solipsistic oneness).
Actual freedom: Peace-on-earth is possible as this flesh and blood body. Spiritual freedom: Peace-on-earth is not possible ... peace can only happen after the body physically dies.
Actual freedom: Suffering is eliminated (via immolation). Spiritual freedom: Suffering is transcended (via sublimation).
Actual freedom: Both ‘I’ as ego and ‘me’ as soul are extinguished. Spiritual freedom: ‘I’ as ego surrenders and/or dissolves and ‘me’ as soul expands to be God (by whatever name).
Actual freedom: Any ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ dichotomy is not actual. Spiritual freedom: The ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ become one.

Actual freedom: A temporary pure consciousness experience (PCE) such as a peak experience provides a glimpse of one’s actual destiny. Spiritual freedom: A temporary altered state of consciousness (ASC) such as satori/samadhi/epiphany provides a glimpse of one’s imaginary destiny.
Actual freedom: By being born a separative ‘self’ one lives in a painful reality (being detached from actuality) and sensuousness ends this detachment with the resultant apperception revealing the actual world. Spiritual freedom: By becoming detached from the separative ‘self’ (and thus being twice-removed from actuality) dissociation from painful reality manifests a metaphysical greater reality in the psyche rendering the physical world a nightmarish dream.
Actual freedom: Total elimination of the rudimentary ‘self’ born of the instinctual survival passions (due to the altruism inherent in the survival instincts). Spiritual freedom: Total aggrandizement of the rudimentary ‘self’ born of the instinctual survival passions (due to the narcissism inherent in the survival instincts).

Actual freedom: The wide and wondrous path to actual freedom offers incremental success through methodical moment-to-moment examination of feeling-fed beliefs disguised as ‘truths’ (virtual freedom). Spiritual freedom: The straight and narrow path to spiritual freedom offers an all-or-nothing non-incremental practice through disciplined moment-to-moment enhancement of feeling-fed beliefs revered as ‘truths’ (renunciate or anchorite).
Actual freedom: Autonomy and independence (through altruistic ‘self’-sacrifice) are the hallmarks of actual freedom. Spiritual freedom: Submission and dependency (through self-seeking ‘self’-surrender) are the hallmarks of spiritual freedom.
Actual freedom: Gratitude is a hindrance on the path to an actual freedom. Spiritual freedom: Gratitude is essential on the path to a spiritual freedom.
Actual freedom: Dignity is both the means to the end and the end in actual freedom. Spiritual freedom: Humility is essential if one is to be God On Earth.
