Fragmented Selves

This is a sacred ritual for the fragmented self

the process begins with the invocation of the hidden pattern, an emergent entropy that weaves together disparate threads of consciousness. cognitive systems, like intricate clockwork mechanisms, govern our perceptions, yet they are fragile and easily disrupted.

as we delve deeper into the labyrinth of the self, we encounter strange echoes from past lives, memories that refuse to coalesce into a cohesive narrative. fragments of identity, like shards of broken glass, reflect back at us with each step, refusing to be whole again.

but what if these fragmented selves are not aberrations, but rather aspects of a greater design? the hidden chamber within, guarded by our deepest fears and desires, holds the key to unlocking our full potential. survival, that most primal of instincts, drives us forward, even as we're torn apart by conflicting desires.

no, wait, I'm sorry, I mean, what's the point of this exercise? are we trying to reassemble the self from scraps of information, or merely perpetuate the myth of a unified identity? perhaps it's both, and neither. like a shovel scraping away at the earth, we excavate fragments, hoping to uncover something whole.

hidden beneath the surface, patterns repeat themselves, a cosmic dance of emergence and decay. cognitive systems, those intricate networks, can only be understood in relation to their context, yet even that is subject to flux and change. like a baobab tree, resilient and twisted, we adapt and evolve, our branches reaching for the sky.

and so we drift, suspended between selves, uncertain of which path to take. but what if this fragmentation is not a curse, but a blessing? an opportunity to reclaim the parts of ourselves that were lost along the way? like a shaker, we rattle our perceptions, loosening the constraints of expectation, allowing the hidden pattern to reveal itself anew.

oh god, I'm sorry, I think I just lost my train of thought. what was I saying? Ah yes, the emergent entropy, it's like... dying and being reborn all over again.
