DEEP STATE. This is how I’m referring my procrastination hitherto. https://t.co/x3RqmzPQjF
strange and unnatural!! i am a mere shepherd of this body, and i have fun! brain does sync sync thing and i don’t fully know what it does there’s like fear and annoyance and organisation and all that and i just tap tap and chill or do sth else and then it’s done
GET OUT OF THE WAY MANAGER. just let the emotions/thoughts/patterns have a meeting and figure it out they’ll come back to you and you squeeze their checks because of how cute they are and don’t question it (you already sort of know)
this is literally how i talk now smh be warned https://t.co/X1W6WBFhHv
I used to get frustrated consciousness couldn’t do everything. But that was never its job. I know now to use my unconscious for most things. To let it flow. And I notice how often my unconscious still barfs. E.g., checking notifications. Getting distracted from work.
In these scenarios, I use my consciousness to notice this, guide my attention to the right stimuli, and let my unconscious sync up and do its thing. Consciousness is f***ing awesome. What a great mentor/coach/second to have.
I wonder if part of what allows me to do this unconscious background sync thing is not just natural intuition, but also my familiarity with parts work. I’ve done it consciously and internalised the attitude sufficiently that I can trigger the process to happen non-verbally now.
