ooh that makes a lot of sense! to be honest I've not had that many problems with my self awareness state (well other than more "technical" problems like self bias and the like) so I've mostly seen it positively. though there's still a lot to be done with that of course (which isn't bad really? imagine having yourself solved. what then?).
the description of the first state really put into words something I hadn't properly tried to name before. I just knew it as the static-like to evasion mode (spectrum between them in my case, I think).
and the susceptibility of the third state to absorbing ideas is also something that I'm glad you brought to my conscious. I was kinda aware of it but in that vague fuzzy way that only falls into place when someone says it to you (also since the flashier parts of the 3rd state usually get the spotlight)
so yeah, wonderful read! oh god every time I write a comment it gets so long I'm sorry
Oh, very good essay! A lot of the advice and experience you've shared clicks well with me :). Also, the ending gives me strong Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin vibes.
