The brain is designed to be curious; To expel the barrier between existence, and the abyss of what comes after death. The unconscious and the surrounding influences are all I’ve craved to unearth since I was young. When I was forced to live outside of myself, unhappily scrutinised and abused in my firsthand reality. If I were to get that time back now I know I would still do the same— I would dissociate and live in my imagination. Because the brain has been designed according to evolution, and how humans treat each other. Humans are at the top of the food chain and have been for thousands of years. Why are people still not content in their bodies? Trauma, that’s why. So the mind will continue to adapt to that. So will the surrounding influences, of an energy the human mind will one day understand; A day when the trauma has changed.
