Very incohesive, thoughts from throughout the past few days.
While walking earlier I got the distinct feeling of a future version of myself. I’m starting to resonate with the person that has everything I want. I guess something mentally clicked, because I could directly feel the part of me that’s going to become more prevalent. It’s from WDB and it’s going to be one of my biggest attractors. It’s hard to describe exactly what it is in words, but it’s like that part of myself that can look at someone I know and just smile, be happy with how they’re doing and growing.
I feel like I can be the person I want to be in 6 months. It’s difficult thinking about all the growth and “burnoff” that I’ll have to do. Not necessarily that I don’t want to do it, but that I’ll feel bad for the things I’ll have to say goodbye to. I know I’m coming closer to understanding who my mind’s eye’s image of Stark Black is. I’m already more decisive on who I want to be, what I want to do, the emotions I want to feel, the people I want to be with. Rather than it being me looking into the distance, it’s as if for a lot of those desires, it’s getting compared to the me now. “What about me now is holding me back? Why wouldn’t I be able to have that if I woke up tomorrow?” I really like that last question, even just typing it I feel a lot of thoughts coming up.
I feel like one of RAIKOV’s deeper objectives is to model the person I want to be and become him. I already used to do this, but it’s even more prominent now. The question “What’s the gap between me and him?” happens subconsciously so much more often now. It’s like it aligned with a deeper part of me, the part that will do anything to get what he wants. He did it to get me into the colleges I wanted, he did it when I fought to have the life I do now. Now it feels like he’s slowly drawing a circle around the self I want to be. Visualizing it, understanding its very texture, drawing every small detail. Asking “what’s the gap” feels like a cheat code, it’s one of the things I’ve been using to speed up my growth lately. I take it on as it’s identified. I don’t need to consciously understand it, I just need to take its essence and thread it into my being. The one thing is that this question now comes up consciously too, completely naturally. If I want something, my first question is what’s the gap, which honestly feels like overkill. I can’t have the part of me that fights between life and death latching onto me just craving a cookie.
I’m feeling very much like my life is about to change to. I can see the alignment in all the changes ASBR has made in the past few months, building on top of the past two years. Especially in me becoming a more private person. I’ve been more comfortable with the subconscious fame and attention aura being a little higher, it’s just naturally there. My personality is better at dealing with it and adapting. There’s a few minor things left, but they feel very internal and Love Bomb-y, just me going in and resolving a few inner child things and guaranteeing my happiness. I feel like the last big step is aligning all of my desires and dreams to what I’m chasing now. I’ve been pretty fractalized, but now a majority of my being wants the me that I am now to pursue these things. My younger selves intuitively understand that me getting what I want means they get what they want, because them being happy is also what I want. I want to kick up the WDB processing and tie it a bit more into Stark Black, but we’ll see. There may still be a bit my subconscious wants to prioritize before I can reroute the objectives into something else.
I’ve been a little nostalgic for how I was last year. Since I was still on my break from subs, my mental state was a lot different. I was fun though. I’m glad I got to have the experiences I did, and I found some good music. Similarly, I’m also getting a little nostalgia for high school and when I first “left” my own little bubble in the first place. The other night I mentally recreated the location of one of my favorite places back then, so if I want to go back and “live” there for a little while, I can. It’ll make it easier to interact with the mental structures and memories from back then. There’s always so much to learn from those past selves. I’m almost there. I think I want to meditate(?) again. Can I call it meditating if I’m just going inward? Like lucid dreaming while awake. I’d call it daydreaming, but daydreaming has a more fantasy connotation, meanwhile I use this state to resolve recon, analyze my state and day, etc. Literally exploring my own mind.
One thing I really like about that professor I talked about earlier is that he uses the word reconciliation a lot. Often to refer to two opposing worldviews, both valid and that evidently have had someone’s entire life experience going into them. Rather than completely devalidating one of them, we carefully go through the arguments made, and find the “incorrect” point. Less incorrect, but an assumption being made that perhaps isn’t valid, or a small leap in logic, a generalization that gets made a little too broadly. It could be completely fitting in its original context, but it’s exaggerated just a little too far out of its range. I’m also reflecting on that even from the start, I never disliked recon. It signified that what I was doing was working, and that I was making progress. On some days I’d even be happy once I felt it. Maybe a little masochistic in some way, but it felt amazing to break through it. I learned to adapt when I felt strong emotions, such that another version of me would take over when they came. I could be in recon and still be the funniest person in class. I still get messages from people in those classes every now and then that they miss it, it really was fun. Maybe that’s what’s led me to the point I’ve gotten to now. Unless I’m super low on sleep, I’m pretty unaffected by my recon or processing. Sometimes I’m more internal, but that’s not a negative, just a different way of being for a little while.
