Ineffable Ontological Detanglement > Base Manual

The core. The you that perceives, the you that navigates. It is the decision maker, it is the problem solver, it is the actor. It is the spark of personality that governs the construction of your ego, this spark of personality is inherent, you're not getting rid of it no matter how hard you try, you're not adding to it no matter how hard you try. The construction of your ego will govern how you utilize your inherent spark of personality. Where did this spark of personality come from? Why have I had it my entire life? It's mysterious...

The ego is the construction of thoughts and memories. Everything you've learned, everything you have built with your life, this is the ego. We ignore Sigmund Freud, we pretend that never happened, we go with where Carl Jung took it. However, he declared it solid, he declared the ego the solid seat of self awareness, the decision maker, the problem solver, the actor, we are removing this aspect of his understanding along with our modern psychedelic enlightenment. The ego is not solid, the ego is guided by the core. Observe the death of your ego and know that you still exist, you are still aware.

Alright, get your ego all set and ready to go, you've got your ego sparking prepared, you're ready to self elevate. Four fifths of you will submit immediately, one fifth of you will cling as hard as you can, ego sparking at the entire concept of your ego investment.

Ego investment is when you feel the urge to defend and declare your ego above the other egos. The full lack of ego investment at birth is only attainable within deep emotional repression and processing dysregulation, everyone else, whether you bypass your perceptual filters or not, will feel themselves ego sparking at people. It's take downable, you can get rid of this with introspection. Chances are none of you like it, chances are none of you choose to engage in it, we still declare you entirely ego uninvested, just, not perfect, not yet. Ego investment wise you're not perfect, it's just a stupid annoying little follow the reason on psychedelics moment, you'll find it's dumb it's nothing it's probably childhood. In some ways, the one I've built is better than yours, in some ways... I hate you brain. You're not going to like hearing this next line, but, finding a way to get rid of these ego sparks means your entire thinking clears up along with it. There was a certain static, it goes away along with your ego sparks. Don't even try to comprehend it, nobody can ever comprehend this static. What the fuck is this? Am I ego sparking at my desk? It feels a little like I'm ego sparking at my desk.

People who lack perceptual filter bypass, the ego is their everything, the ego declares themselves and in many ways the world along with it. The people who are smart enough to semi-consciously realize what they have declared is world but not smart enough to realize they have not and know they are to cling to this for dear life are the ego invested. The average, your average guy, the normal ones. These people are running a semi-conscious system of self inflation other deflation on everybody they see at all times. An American will take this to a well compartmentalized long running detailed list, they generally have about three to five things on everyone they know and four to eight things on the things they think this person has on them. It is a complex and detailed system of "I can use, I've been given" that self reinforces and compounds with other intersecting "I can use, I've been given." Contradiction becomes reasonably irrelevant, if they're of higher intelligence they understand this information cannot enter semi-consciously, if they're of lower intelligence they get to do whatever they want. Somebody who does not bypass their perceptual filters but has found either marijuana or psychedelics can generally figure out how to drop their ego investment, the rest of us really notice, this person has become a lot easier to deal with. To the others this person has become more chill, to us this person has entered into the realm of acknowledged.

After you've done some work, you'll look back at your semi-conscious ego reinforcement systems and realize the first thing you did when you opened The Society of Social Disturbance was "Oh look at this guy. I bet this guy thinks he's this. I bet this guy is this, and this, and this, and this, my this is so much better than his this, oh man my this is way better than his this, oh *sly smile* thanks society you've given me everything I need, I bet he thinks his this is so much better than my this, I bet he thinks his this is so much better than my this. Oh my god I am so this I am so this and this and this I am just in a state of euphoric blisyePCSHTMTHRFCKR!!" With some of you it will have gone to "I bet he thought he was really weird as a child, I bet he really was really weird as a child, I bet he's still a little weird as a child, I bet he still thinks about it every day I bet he does I bet he does I bet he's just that pathetic I bet he is I bet he is." ... ... "I bet his daddy touched HIS penis." And then even after learning what you are looking at is undeniable, at every single one of us you were still going "Okay, but they are... They are this they are this... I'm still very this, I'm still really really this, in some ways my this is superior to their this and their this. I still have a hold on this and and this and this and I can still use all of this to claim dominance over everything I am seeing. It's still possible at least three of these guys their daddy touched their penis. My daddy never touched my penis. Freaks."

It's all automatic. That doesn't make it okay. Some of you follow it all the way to full conscious and float in it. That's really not okay. Go away.

These are the smart ones, these are the ones capable of fixing their filter mechanism and attaining something more palatable. If you're not smart enough to know how to do this with your ego at the other egos, other people have probably been running the construction of your ego for you, and I'm afraid you're not really capable of ever attaining anything overly impressive. You've pretty much been the best you can be your entire life. A lot of the time you can demonstrate more wisdom than these annoying idiots. Unfortunately, some cultures will teach these people "You are to reinforce your ego. Here is all of the information you will need."

People with natural perceptual filter bypass can still find a certain ego investment in certain situations. Generally it is a trauma cover up, sometimes it's only a social trauma cover up. Or, it's misuse of fully customizable compartmentalization, the only way anybody ever learns how to use fully customizable compartmentalization as a child before they know what it is, unfortunately before they get the chance to understand what they're doing they've already fragmented themselves. These people operate within the same world as those with natural perceptual filter bypass, however they behave in the manner of a person who lacks natural perceptual filter bypass. We notice, it leaks out in your every behaviour, even when you're not blatantly declaring your ego we feel something.

Psychopath will leave you ego invested whether or not you bypass your perceptual filters. If you ever wish to truly get along with the others, if you ever wish for them to stop spreading their evil secrets, you need to learn how to take down as much of it as you can, ignore the rest, never ever present any of your ego investment.

I had an argument on the internet. I was explaining sociopath, I mentioned that I am both an empath and a sociopath. I was met with "Uh no. Sociopath bad empath good. Sociopath empath no. You're an idiot. No there is no such thing as a person who can understand themselves that is an impossible concept. You just said you don't have a PhD you've automatically disproven everything you've said. ... ... YEAHYEAHYEAHNICENICENICE OH MY GOD I BET EVERYONE THINKS I THINK I LOOK SO INCREDIBLE OH MY GOD THIS IS BLISS OH YEAHYEAHYEAH. You know what I can do? I can deliberately use my stupid, I can just totally whammy you with very obvious deliberate use of my stupid. What do you think of that? I can just... Do that. I can just present this to you, pretend that I think that you think that I think I've won, pretend that I think that you think that I think that everyone else thinks I've won. You intimidated? AW, you don't get to do this AW, HAHA. NIIIIIICE YEAAAAAHHHH. Oh. I see. Sorry sir. Well there goes every single thing I've been my entire life." "That one was really unnecessary. The... Stupid need to fall in line? Let the ones capable of thinking decide our society? There's no need for that kind of language. Who do you think you are? What on Earth could ever give anybody the right to say that?" You will see, there is a deep need for that kind of language. For the record, throughout his entire fit I was technical and proper, I was outlining straightforward, I was not even subtle mocking in word language, I entirely ignored all of his mockery and focused only on explaining the concepts. It was not working, I had to close it. "But... You don't just get to do that. You're not supposed to PENETRATE the ego, that is not the social game. The social game is letting nonsensical ego battle fly all over the place in a state of hyperactive euphoria everybody knowing nobody can ever win because everything everyone is saying can only ever ring at most half true. That's how we maintain. This is how it is supposed to be. You people who actually penetrate are enraging, you have problems no psychiatrist could ever handle. The deep social darkness you bring upon the room. It's like you're in your own little world, you have no idea how to even look at yourselves, you're entirely oblivious to everything we want you to be. We are sick and tired of you and your ego." Oh, and I also wish to bring up unrelated, the person who thinks that I think that he thinks he brought me back to reality also gave me an incredibly long detailed explanation of the difference between genre and sub-genre relating it to classes of animals after I said post-metal technically isn't a sub-genre but I'm not an ass about it. I explained to him afterwards it is a collection of various sub-genres, it is a blanket label for a collection of various sub-genres of metal. I don't bother addressing the idea of these people suggesting I am a person that could never exist within any framework of artificially created realities. Anymore. I don't want to have to yell at a Scandinavian person. I like Scandinavian people.

Pretending not to see each other's pretending for pretend, pretending that you know everyone else is pretending to not see you pretending. Pretending everyone thinks this makes perfect sense to everybody. Pretending we're not pretending to pretend.

"Everyone wishes they were all of the things I pretend they know I am that I know I am not and I know they do not. Everyone but me is all of the things I pretend I don't know I am and I pretend they know they are and I am not."

"The victory we all strive for is the declaration that we are the one who is the most oblivious to the fact that everything we know to be real is delusional. For pretend."

Now, this may alarm you, but your current conception of empathy is ego invested. Never never never do anything to hurt another ego, because we all know the moment of ego penetration is a thing we fear about as much as we fear death. Maintain everybody's ego, internally you drive them into the dirt and elevate yourself into the position of their master, but outwardly you are to never hurt them, at least not in a manner they will ever be allowed to tell you they see, because ever exposing this sort of thing is an ego travesty that is the end of your relationship and the relationship of whatever other egos you can turn against their ego.

You always make the person in front of you happy. Whatever they need, they get. They need to ego battle at the people you like, you share your ego battle with them, you keep them happy. Then you probably go find the friend you just tarnished with them and share your ego battle at the other person with this friend leaving out all of the things you said about them.

The expectation that empathy is whatever the person addressing you needs they get leads to the outrage from your populace that you have made the decision to make three within your nation unhappy to make five hundred outside of your nation happy, sacrifice one of your own people to save five of another nation's people. The ego is the enemy of globalization. If it were YOU who committed a murder, would you want the punishment you deserved? No, you would want understanding and compassion. Sociology is not my territory, it clearly could be if I wanted it to be, but we have others who can specialize from my point outs. MINE. My point outs. ...If it were YOU, would YOU want to become aware of everything you are to all of us? Would YOU want to become aware of all of the harm you are doing to society?

I don't even want this to be my big thing, I just found a thing and then it's a big thing okay? I am in no way invest-OKAY. Fucking. No. I. No I am not floating on myself. No I-No I am not trying to impress y-NO. I. I. No I am not trying to impress you with a lack of trying to impress you. NO I am not trying to impress you by not trying to impress you with a lack of trying to impress you. No I am most certainly NOT trying to be the one who gets to help you, no I-I...

No, this all fucking came together in a stream of research like eighteen years after I started working on things after I finally solved the perceptual filter thing I haven't been all invested in this my entire life. Oooohhh your condition naturally makes you all invested in our ego investment. Shut up. I've been ignoring it my entire life. It's just funny.

Knowing and understanding your position on the hierarchy is not ego investment, what you used to call egotistical. There's nothing else we can do, any attempt to fake our way out of what we know we are is actually a pretty ego invested move. Declaring your position on the hierarchy in a manner not self mocking, is, of course, pretty egotistical, the ego uninvested can fall for it, they generally don't like themselves when they do it. If a person likes themselves when they do this they don't deserve their egotism... We declare them ego invested.

The persona is the face you wear in public, the thing that keeps the ego safe from the other egos, in some situations the very core safe from the other egos. Persona investment is generally a thing decided by your culture. Sometimes cultures that seem very persona invested are not at all persona invested, they simply know how to use the persona properly. These people look persona invested to the people from cultures confused about the nature of the persona, in some ways they have lost sight of the fact that what they are wearing is a persona, they think it's the core.

The persona does not so much self elevate. It takes a special type of persona investment. In some persona invested cultures the ego will self elevate at other people's personas. However only in one very special case will the persona itself self elevate.
