The instability of the filtering mechanisms through which information passes on its way to the recipient possesses the potential to give rise to both increased entropy and higher order. Since information is processed more directly and, paradoxically, more authentically, it stands to reason that the risk of irrational interpretation is accompanied by an increased potential for highly coherent integration.

At least that‘s what the guy who lives inside my walls told me

Ist es möglich dass die Instabilität von Filtermechanismen, welche Informationen auf dem Weg zum Rezipienten durchlaufen, das Potenzial besitzen, sowohl für erhöhte Entropie als auch für höhere Ordnung zu sorgen? Da Informationen bei reduzierten Filtern unmittelbarer und paradoxerweise authentischer verarbeitet werden, ist davon auszugehen, dass das Risiko der irrationalen Interpretation mit einem erhöhten Potenzial für hochkohärente Integration einhergeht

Before I experienced psychosis, I particularly enjoyed learning about psychology, cybernetics, physics and neuroscience.

It seems that those who experienced a radical disintegration of their narrative system and self-image and made it back from the depths of madness often undergo a fundamental transformation in belief systems, perspective and core values. Before my psychosis, I pictured myself as a static constant which had fixed, immutable properties. They all tell you to „stay the way you are”, But now I believe this perspective is an ignorant fallacy which doesn’t take the impermanent nature of all things into consideration. After all, change is the only constant. I am confused and anxious, because I have no fixed identity anymore. Now I view myself as a dynamic process in constant motion. My whole life I clung to a fixed identity, which probably provided me with stability. I believe the self model acts as an anchor that enables me to interact with my environment coherently. It‘s like losing the ground beneath your feet.

Can anyone tell me if this disorientation is permanent or will I recover from this ?

If you are interested in the structure and potential purpose of consciousness, here’s my two cents on phenomenology:

Without the categorizing function of consciousness, the universe would be merely an accumulation of neutral information. Perhaps consciousness acts as a structuring process, one capable of imbuing the raw, chaotic nature of things with meaning. This ordering function is not a discovery of fundamental cosmic laws, but rather an artistic act of nature that enables the observer to transform the seemingly meaningless into a narrative, coherent form. Could it be that the fundamental purpose of consciousness is to transform neutral data into a subjective, narrative construct of meaning?

Those who experienced a radical disintegration of their narrative system and self-image and made it back from the depths of madness often undergo a fundamental transformation in belief systems, perspective and core values. I believe this process is a radical transmutation which burns away all that doesn’t serve the subject on it‘s path towards authenticity and integrity. Before my psychosis, I pictured myself as a static constant which had fixed, immutable properties. They all tell you to „stay the way you are”, But now I believe this perspective is an ignorant fallacy which doesn’t take the impermanent nature of all things into consideration. After all, change is the only constant. I am confused and anxious, because I have no fixed identity anymore. I view myself as a dynamic process in constant motion. I still seem to be in transition. My whole life I clung to a fixed identity, which probably provided me with stability. I believe the self model acts as an anchor that enables me to interact with my environment coherently. It‘s like losing the ground beneath your feet. I hope I will learn to navigate this world without this stabiliser.

If anyone here can resonate with this, could you tell me if this disorientation is permanent?

When you look at a tree, you are not directly experiencing the immediacy of the „isness“ of the tree, but rather an abstract simplification. You categorise it, interpret it - that is not the tree. That is a projection of your own mind. You are basically observing yourself. The tree you see are neurons firing in your brain. You literally are what you perceive. I am, you are, it is

I experienced a radical disintegration of my narrative system and self-image and made it back from the depths of madness, for now. Before my psychosis, I pictured myself as a static constant which had fixed, immutable properties. They all tell you to „stay the way you are”, But now I believe this perspective is an ignorant fallacy which doesn’t take the impermanent nature of all things into consideration. After all, change is the only constant. I am confused and anxious, because I have no stable identity anymore. Now I view myself as a dynamic process in constant motion. I still seem to be in transition. Will this ever end?

The ability to analytically rationalize one's thought processes, behavioral patterns, and belief systems, and to categorize them from an almost detached perspective, is of the utmost priority. At the expense of absolute truth, our perceived environment is an abstract simplification, since living organisms are not designed for efficient data processing, but rather for simple survival functions. Despite our survival-oriented nature, we humans are capable of significantly approaching true clarity through metacognitive strategies.

When you look at a tree, you are not seeing the tree itself, but a categorisation by your own mind. You don‘t see the tree, you see the image of the tree that you project onto yourself.

The Ego and Our Filters

Intention is a powerful tool. Perhaps the most remarkable function of intention is its ability to actively influence how we process and integrate information. Those who harbor the intention to attain clarity view every piece of new information not as a hurdle or a threat to their self-image, but rather as pure potential. It is necessary to recognize that the self-image is a fictional construct, grounded in a continuum of subjective memory. An entity that perceives itself as a static constant not only denies the impermanence inherent in nature but, more specifically, diminishes its own capacity for self-knowledge. Conversely, if one views oneself as a dynamic process that possesses the potential to be redefined at a fundamental level, one opens the door to the unknown.

Intention is the gatekeeper that decides what information enters the workspace. Metacognition dictates how we interpret that information
