so early on into the semester. THE LEARNING HAS FELT, LIKE, FUCKING PSYCHEDELIC. ITS INSANE.
It feels Aquarian, like the Aquarian pitcher of the sciences, of knowledge, is being poured into my skull. ITS INSANE AND MIND-ALTERING LIKE A PSYCHEDELIC TRIP. It’s like I’m being taught how to completely and utterly reframe the psyche, personality, and whole of human experience.
This is INSANE. It’s like the vivisection of the self. Dissecting the self. It truly makes me feel like the self doesn’t exist in the way we think it does. It is WILD how much the very basis for personality can be attributed to genetic factors, environmental factors, evolutionary factors, stress, diet, lifestyle, personal choice… it’s like the illusion of the self begins to melt away. one begins to see the many bases of personality. It’s absolutely insane.
It’s, like, enlightening. And WOW knowledge is power, for in seeing the many different bases for less-than-ideal psychological states, the blueprint for how to remedy it is laid out. It… makes things seem SO MUCH less threatening. And the science CONFIRMS that we have SO MUCH power to change, to grow, to improve, through lifestyle modifications. No matter your genes nor environment, WE CHOOSE.
But to see it all… so neatly laid out. It’s explosive! It’s amazing! It’s wonderful! It’s inspiring!
And my RESEARCH class! It’s like I’m being taught how to think like a scientist! To ask questions. To apply filters to the intake and gathering of knowledge. AAAHHHHH ITS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT
