Hi, Not Tao,
I'm not actually free myself but I've been practicing actualism for about 3 years now. All I can say is that there is indeed some kind of baseline which one keeps changing over the years, one keeps raising the bar, and there are parts of your self that are no more after some realizations and then actualizations. It's been a fun ride and it has delivered incredible and apparently permanent results.
In reference to your original question, there are no actually free persons hanging in this forum in particular. Those who claimed AF, relinquished it later, so you may ask in the
actualist forum at Yahoo, where Richard responds from time to time, or you can read his and other's testimonies at the AFT website. But basically, they haven't changed their claims or written about changes in their perceptions, they keep saying that actually is impossible to go back as their selves are extinct {Richard has been AF since 1992}, which also implies that it's completely effortless, as there is no self whatsoever to be vigilant about. Further, there are people who have met them in Australia at different times and they have reported basically the same.about them.
Lastly, if you want to give actualism a sincere try, I recommend that you do it following the instructions from the
AFT website exclusively and not the ones posted in the DhO.
Cheers,
Felipe
