At first, the education and training may be painful, until you find purposeful delight. Delight that comes through continued experiences. The pain transforms into treasurous pleasure, then you defend what you first hated. Now you’re its best soldier. Stamped. On a t-shirt or a deodorant stick plastic. Stockholm syndrome. Go figure.

Consciousness Glitch Without Coordinates: A Rebel Awareness

A Glitch Revealed How the hell can someone be fully asleep and consciously wide awake at the same time? It’s like anesthetic knocking out someone’s body yet they fully see and feel what is going on at the same time. It’s like being dead and alive at the exact same time!
