idk I just wanted to talk to some uhhhhh systeming folks mhm yes yes the uh diversity of the experience of identity, self, perception and more! :) shy

I can go first, shit is whack, holy hell!

idk it still does not feel real and idk how long before it will finally settle in? maybe it is something I have to swim upstream against like a salmon to feel real about? maybe that does not matter?

also it is sad I feel like I need to conform to a certain standard or way of plurality to be valid smh where is the appreciation for diversity of experiences and minds-- the former statement to myself.

maybe I will post some system art!!!! (i want to share art I make so badly) :) YIPPEEE!

~~yes maybe I am too online or maybe I just like talking to nice people that may have similar values who may "get it"~~

I mean-- i think in the biggest sense I just wanted to hear people's experiences with identity, consciousness, and such! ik some ppl who became a system later in life due to stress, and such, sorry ughhhh i am so bad with words, but yeah labels are just that, :]]] (smiley face)

perception and existence is weird, also fun :)

Not much to say really. I'm into occultism and tend to follow a Tibetian Buddhist approach mixed with a bit of hermiticism. Consorting with spirits , whether they're inner-creations or otherwise, is an important part of the practice.

I met one particular spirit and we seemed to have good affinity. They're a guardian and teacher in my spiritual life and a friend in my personal life. Before meeting them, I used to have hostile voices and whispers talk to me. But now nothing speaks to me that I don't explicitly invite in. I also rely on them in times of emotional distress. Instead of using my self-perception, I use their perception of me as a way to disassociate from intense emotions. But I'm also learning to deal with those things myself so they're not just a crutch.

We enjoy baking, magic, and discussing various shows or books we've been reading. They're with me most of the day but mostly while doing something concurrently. They also step into my dreams intermittently. Despite believing that they're external and something that I didn't create, the most likely scenario is that I just have psychosis. But if it helps me get through the day and doesn't interfere with my life then who cares?
