Draft below was unsent, meant to write more but something else was up. Much harder to return to. Looks interesting!
To: cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org Subject: [ot] A Theory of Dissociation and Mind Control
As I consider more having a severe dissociative psychological issue, I become conscious of parts more.
It seems my biggest experience is a very large dissociation from mind control via: - terror - hypno/digital behavior modification - stimulated dissonance from cult members, bots, and other victims
We saw that stimulated dissonance become a large thing that entered public discourse over the past decade.
In response to this experience, I then seem to have intentionally dissociated further, into multiple different parts, each of which is some strategy of mine to resist the influence of the mind control and protect my true identity. The conflict persists and develops internally, with the mind control part still trying to change these other parts, and them still trying to resist it.
Comparing intentional dissociation with coerced dissociation and some of the theory of mind control in Steve Hassan’s book, I’m thinking there’s a possible strong similarity that could form a theory encompassing all three.
- When we dissociate, we form (logic parts in other contexts, along with guesses or habits around when or how to reintegrate these parts with existing contexts) - When there is deception or severe emergency involved, we end of leaving the context in which the dissociation was made, without reintegrating the concepts to update our guesses or habits - As this continues, the dissociated parts that have learned to resist engaging other parts, continue to form new knowledge and habits - When we then do return to our previous safer situations, the parts of our mind are no longer engaging what they expect, and persistent change has formed.
