Hi, I’d like to present an idea:

“Find liberty in a solution precisely calibrated to your circumstance; the hardship you elect.”

 

 

The Comfort War is a path; it’s a discipline for those of a unique condition. Those who find themselves at rock bottom, despite their best efforts. They’ve been consumed by their passion, by their own ravenous desire, suppressed it with layers upon layers of stimulated comfort, only to experience a pervasive state of “brain fog” alongside bouts of desperate frustration as a result. From this unique condition arise both the circumstance as well as the method of dealing with it; a precisely calibrated solution.

It’s a solution for individuals in your exact condition with these exact strengths and weaknesses; though you are deficient in the area of clear-thinking, your passion is fervent. This means you don’t require an arousal of ambition, but only the means to combat the clouding of your perception. You therefore instill a simple system: consistent dedication to an abstract notion—a daily Manual Reset, and passion ensues. Your greatest strength is the intensity of that vigor (which has made you so susceptible to its suppression in the first place), and therefore you need not worry about what comes after clarity is regained, as passion erupts on its own, this I assure you. As it stands, only our kind is capable of both crafting and enduring such insane desperation—that which has led you to whole-hearted commitment in the first place—use that to your advantage.

A daily commitment to an MR is a daily commitment to the fact that you fundamentally accept that what you seek is outside of your current capability; that you’ve chosen the pursuit of improving it as such. Try as we might, no single-moment of clarity–however great–will snap us out of years of faulty-habits. No single-commitment can be pursued in a solely conscious manner. Such a thing would require us to instantly master conscious thought; brandishing it, commanding it to our every beck and call, but you’ve tried that already and know the result for yourself, haven’t you?

Maintaining enough consciousness so as to slowly change your subconscious is achievable, but it is not a process during which your consciousness is absolute and never-faltering.  That is what I offer in the pursuit of clarity itself, and although it is not enough—it is the missing piece. As we’ve identified previously, once thought suppression is sufficiently practiced, you become “programmed” with the habit to “just not think about it”—whatever “it” may be. You’ll go off on reoccurring auto-piloted, pain-suppressing pursuits of comfort whenever faced with (ever increasing) negative emotional impulses. Thus, you are not only left with the inclinations to perform your worst behaviors, but this emotional experience isn’t achieved consciously, and is therefore nearly impossible to learn from or address in a rational manner (ever regret something immediately after doing it, commit to never do it again, and repeat it sometime later?). These suppressed emotions build up until they are eventually released in a destructive outburst—only to somewhat calm, then rinse and repeat; it’s a cycle that seems to suppress the exact faculties needed to extract yourself out of it.

This is an important point; by doing so, supernormal stimuli acts in a positive-feedback loop, self-perpetuating and self-enforcing. To this, again, we must calibrate our solution.

The exact details as to why privacy, difficulty and reduced stimuli work as they do to extract you from this numbed state are perhaps for another time. Nevertheless, this is a notion I must make clear: by your apprehensive aversion to it you can often judge the effectiveness of the MR because of this insidious trait of comfort, entrenching itself in the strong aversions it instills towards countermeasures. You can see, therefore,
