YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLike supernova: Empty schizoid core seat of pathologies and addictions which substitute for core identity.
These pathologies and addictions are persistent and misidentified with identity.
Halo personality: periphery of void (remnant of supernova) comprises what in healthy people constitutes identity or personality: beliefs, values, traits, cognitions, emotions.
The halo personality elicits external regulation and generates a hive mind. These are last ditch attempts to become, to put Humpty-Dumpty back together, to reconstitute the shattered being.
But behaviors determined by core, not by periphery – by the void, not by the halo personality. Similar to generation of elementary particles in the vacuum of deep space: potentials become fleeting realities and then vanish again.
Asking who is the void or who is the False Self or who does the observing is like asking who is your smartphone or AI bot. Nothing there but programmed reactive routines.
