I don't know how to explain this. Whatever happens to your brainwave state when it alters and shifts as you drift into sleep... I was drifting and Death Note style voice (keep in mind, I don't really watch this show often) popped into my head and showed me a moment from when I was 16 and my youth pastor came to see me in the hospital after trying to take every pill in my house to try to unalive myself. The voice is saying, "I'm a demon. I've known you since this point. He knew too, he just didn't want to say anything. We're here to have fun forever." This wasn't my voice. This wasn't my subconscious. This sounds pretty corny and cringe like disgruntled teenager's reddit post, but I'm just trying to recall this montage as sequentially as it happened. It sounds like the gritty backstory for a really shitty marvel movie.
This youth pastor told me that I was saying NO in an otherworldly voice getting my stomach pumped at the time. This is a real life thing that happened. Did I come into the world this way? How does this work karmically? I could've picked up a dark passenger. Maybe it can only talk to me in that natural altered brain wave state. It sounded calm like Death Note. It was alarming and calming. The fact that it was calming is what freaked me out. Dude, I don't know where I came from - none of us do really. But I had some milestones of existentialism at early ages and when I was a teenager I was really pissed off that I was incarnated. Really pissed off that I had to be here. Like I was here to crash a party.
Is this news to me as a possibility? Or motivation to make things as good as I can possibly make them. Demons torment. This one sounded comforting. There's not exactly a guidebook to consult for something like this. Especially not in the south.
What would Jung say? Even he supposedly had his fair share of occult-like experiences - being inhabited from forces of another plane ✨ (you're going to be all like, 'stoppp trying to normalize daemons and make them sound cool like you do with beer when you lie to yourself fammmm). I've seen some crazy stuff in your eyes too - so you were probably waiting for me to come to this realization too. The demon is probably pleased that I have enough willpower to take care of myself rn). I'm going to get some ultimate perspective with the lifestyle discipline.
"You're not going through it, it's going through you
And once it's all gone, in will come the new you
With a different perspective, from the same point of view
Fully unaffected by the old truth you once knew
Connected at the roots to the trunk to the branches
To the leaves and the way they fly away in wind dances
A frantic seesaw; free-fall in midair that represents
The floating folly of us all being here
We are complicated creatures, huh?"
Anything or anyone that tries to take the wheel from you in your life is not your friend tho. Demons are deceptive. They might be here to have fun and have a good time, but they're here to use your temple for their bidding while you sit idle in the passenger seat and peace TF out. I'm the perfect host. Mental illness and wrecked with insecurities to feed on.
I'm going to question everything for a little while.

A suitable title for the prompt could be: "Beyond the Illusion of Time: Exploring Consciousness and Existence.
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. By: SoDakArtist One question that often irks me is, “What time is it?” It’s not the inquiry itself that bothers me, but rather the underlying assumption that time holds an absolute significance in our lives. Time is indeed a construct, meticulously crafted by society to structure our days, align our activities, and maintain order. However,…

Stop living in the past. The past is past, and the future is not here yet. Live today to build the future you want
In the ever-evolving narrative of human existence, the concept of time acts as both a guiding force and a potential stumbling block. The interplay between the past, present, and future is a complex dance, with each moment serving as a stepping stone towards what lies ahead. Esteemed thinkers, writers, and speakers from various epochs have tirelessly explored the dynamic relationship between these…

In considering species development and transference of consciousness, one must examine the foundational attributes inherent to the original organism. For instance, humans can be viewed as evolved counterparts of primates, sharing foundational characteristics that influence behavior and capabilities, which we continue to adapt and refine.
To illustrate, imagine a scenario where we possess the ability to transfer our consciousness to an alien species, after traveling to distant planets. Suppose we select a native species, modify its DNA to suit our needs, and then instill our consciousness within this modified organism. As this species continues to procreate and evolve on this new planet, foundational characteristics of the original organism would persist.
Let's consider the example of modifying an octopus-like creature from another planet. Despite significant genetic alterations to accommodate our consciousness, inherent traits of the original octopus would remain and be passed on to subsequent generations. These inherent traits act as a foundational crust, upon which the modified attributes—representing the pie—are built.
As the species evolves over centuries, the modifications we introduced will interact with and be influenced by the foundational traits of the original organism. This foundational crust, being intrinsic to the species, will persist and cannot be altered post-consciousness transfer, thus continuously influencing the development and characteristics of the evolved species.
Reflecting on this concept, we can draw parallels with human behavior, where certain actions might not align with what we perceive as inherently “human,” particularly those actions deemed harmful or unethical. These seemingly incongruent behaviors can be traced back to our primal ancestors, revealing a connection to more instinctual, untamed characteristics.
These behaviors suggest a struggle between the primitive instincts inherited from our ancestral lineage and the refined consciousness that defines our humanity. In instances where consciousness is not fully awakened or is inexperienced—perhaps indicative of a younger soul—there might be a diminished capacity to control or moderate these primal instincts.
This interplay between foundational instincts and evolving consciousness is pivotal in shaping behavior, underscoring the necessity of acknowledging and understanding our intrinsic nature as we develop as a species. The scenario illustrates that, despite our capabilities to alter and adapt species, foundational attributes persistently influence the evolution and behavior of the resultant beings.
