Aha. I’m finally making my way back in time through your chapters, the building blocks to your hard-earned revelations to come… and I’m seeing all the parallels. Especially appreciating the confusing “trauma response”/“out of body” experience where you’re suddenly able to experience the pain from a completely different perspective. “The lead actor had forgotten he was in a movie. The lead actor had forgotten there even was a movie.” I wonder if this really was a response our brains had to extreme suffering, a splitting off if you will, but then in some beautiful way, also became our salvation?

This is my favourite chapter so far. You’ve got me question8mg the reliability of the narrator really nicely. I really felt a sort of spiralling descent into madness throughout the first half of this.
