Glowies are indeed everywhere, this place is mostly a honeypot but I don't mind- fear is the enemy. Besides, even if you had the worst intentions, you wouldn't be able to do anything with this information, that's the beauty of it. When it begins? Since before time. When does it ever end, I'd ever? It's not just the culmination of our lives, it's the culmination of all life. The profile? Like you said, I don't know. I lost my profile when this happened and could summon any profile I wanted on a whim using the power of my imagination. If you ask me, experiencing death before actually dying is one of the triggers, although this only works if you are ready and willing to die, of course. But as I've said, people only choose the path that they walk on in the moment and when all is said and done, people can only choose where to go rather than where they end up. The profile is the culmination of everyone that makes the choices to get this point, regardless of the choices that are made outside of their control.

wonderful
>NDE as trigger
have you had a near death experience from before the feeling started encroaching? a significant one? because i have not and hadn't considered such. by when it begins, and your profile, i was hoping to ask you in a purely scientific capacity as i said, not at all philosophically. like if you could point to anything specific like an Near death experience, reading a specific line in a book, seeing a movie, maybe a breakup with a girl, a big move/career change, i dont know, anything at all that may have triggered 'the experience' outside of drug use. or maybe you've never taken things at face value, always needed to learn for yourself? disobedient towards human authority? a natural leader/smart/etc from a young age? im not asking your life story, im just fishing to see if upon reading that, some one specific thing suddenly comes to mind. there might be nothing. in order to encourage the growth of souls like ours, we must foster the correct environment, you see? im not sure if youve suffered like me to get here, but ideally (as i delude myself into believing i am doing for you now) we can stop others from having to go through as much heartache as we did, because we can learn and help them. we can find a better way. i am interested in what that environment is, what conditions trigger the experience, what kind of person thrives in it. the type of person its all built for. whether you lost your profile or not is another story, but the profile that was transmuted.... reverse engineering, like you said. there is something about who you and i both were before this experience, that caused these things to transpire.

Experiencing ego death while sober, psychologically speaking. Myers Briggs in HS classified me as INTJ, or so they say, I've always idealized myself as that type so that's a bias that I've always considered. Retook it a year later and got INTP. Not sure how relavent these tests are. I do consider myself an intellectual, but I'd say people overestimate my intelligence. I just study occult sciences as well as standard science because I like to learn, and so I have a broad depth of knowledge but I would not say that I am gifted with genius level intelligence or anything of the sort. Maybe some sort of creative or spiritual intelligence that isn't common, I'm quite the empath too. I really feel as though the beliefs I held played a part in the science behind it. Above all else I think it might be a pretty natural thing that happens when you see the bigger picture to put it bluntly.

>you know your shit for sure
>Wow. It's crazy how it all unfolds so similarly
heh, yep. sure there are age-old and eternal infinite themes at play here, but its my understanding this specific activation has been brewing in the unconscious maybe 15-20 years. the rapid crystallization of it imo started with the nobody/anomaly meme virus on the old forums, ~7-9 years ago. even 5 years ago there were only a few people who were truly truly in the know. ive seen many people go through it since. schizo threads, genuine conversations, memes and whatnot with direct references, etc. somethings happening but i wont pretend to know what. its not crazy rare anymore, for an /x/ lurker at least.

>Experiencing ego death while sober
so that had already happened to you BEFORE the experience? interesting, ego death happened more during/after for me. i classify the same mbti
>intellectual, occult & standard, broad depth. some creative/spiritual, empath.
sounds like i couldve written it myself. im sure you are simply socially intelligent enough to be humble, you are likely some degree of brilliant, as am i. very interesting. youve always naturally been this way i take it? blessed with mind?

'Blessed with mind' is a good way to put it. Always been that way, was told I was a very observant infant and never cried- truly just a content child I guess. I'm socially intelligent but as I've said, I think the fact that I am generally innocent and open is what really does it. People tend to instantly pick up on it and I've had people praise me for being an authentic person, which I find unfortunate (should be natural and easy). Something is definitely happening though, I don't know what it is either, but I'd describe it as an 'Agent-Smith' effect. That's why I latched onto your mind bug statement. I genuinely remember being able to meld onto somebody and have their mind mirror mine- this happened both intentionally and unintentionally in different instances. At the same time, I couldn't tell if the same thing was happening to me sometimes. If it makes any sense, I feel like whatever is 'tapping' into people has some sort of feedback loop, or strange exploit that allows for you to tap into 'it' as well.

>never cried
funny, same...
>generally innocent and open
yeah, that one is different, i wouldnt describe myself that way at all. seems people wake it up in the one fashion or the other. kali or durga. being shaken from a deep sleep, or naturally waking up at daybreak.
>'Agent-Smith' effect
yes, one of said memes. i believe these memetics are being made, either intentionally or otherwise, to trigger the experience in more people. the observation and articulation of all of this, my 'sweet science' if you will, is my hobby of choice, and this board plays a role in my laboratory. its like inception, when you see the agent smith meme after the fact, you're in on it. if you saw it before the experience... well its like planting these things in your mind, checking off the conditions for 'the encroachment' as you coined it, to begin. a penumbra on the way to the center that is the experience. maybe it will perk your ears up to hear me say 'self fulfilling prophecy'. whatever is happening certainly has inertia i would say.
>mirror, feedback, unintentionally and intentionally, can't tell 
yes, like i said before. double speak, plausible deniability, conversational subtext. like a game? one you had never played before, that everyone else had somehow seemed to, maybe? 
>tapping in
i get the same feeling. i believe it has to do with a primal logic circuit. once a certain switch flips on in the logic board in someones' head, one by one all the lights start to go on as they re-integrate everything under this new idea. it almost seems to directly warp your very reality its so powerful, even in retrospect it might still seem like it did. it may even have, i dont know. things like grammar, phrasing, etymology, etc seem connected
