I’m a bit late because I’ve been around since mid-October, but I’d like to catch up with my introduction.
Alphabeast - actually just a misunderstood word that my 22-year-old self thought I heard in the song “Bullet Ride” from the In Flames album “Clayman”. But even after I realized my mistake, the Alphabeast wouldn’t let go of me. It became a symbol - something powerful that I found both admirable and frightening at the same time. Something that I knew was dormant within me and that I had better not wake up because I was afraid that I would have no control over the spirit I would summon. That it could overwhelm and devour me.It wasn’t real knowledge and it wasn’t logical either.It was just a hunch, a feeling. It was simply the fear of death, even if it was “only” ego death. I was extremely insecure at the age of 22, which had to do with the fact that I was neglected as a child. I wasn’t abused, but there was a lack of attention, recognition and care. This resulted in a strong introversion, a lack of self-confidence and a pessimistic mindset. In the years that followed, I found ways to change this and over time a lot has changed for the better. Today, I have no reason to complain.I lead a very comfortable life and am grateful for everything I have. Nevertheless, I have to admit to myself that I have never managed to develop my full potential.
I can’t remember exactly how I got here, but I currently have the feeling that I’m supposed to be here. Call it coincidence, fate, synchronicity … whatever.
So 21 years later, the Alphabeast becomes my forum name and it will stay with me for the next 7 years. In 2030 I will be 50 and I have a great desire to be the best version of myself that is possible. I will have to unleash the beast, but I am now confident that it won’t eat me. I’ll probably even laugh at the fact that I put it in chains for no reason.
Advancing Human Potential - that sounds promising. Wish me success. Thank you.
