Is it something that fasting, cleansing, and a radical change in diet couldn't fix?
Nope! Cancer, son.

Dang.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

fearfect, that was so interesting. i feel like i have another me "in back" of me too. several, but i assume you're talking about the dark one...
i maybe shouldn't be giving advice, because its defintely leaking through to the front these days, but back in the day i would stare at myself in the mirror and talk to it (mentally, it would communicate through facial expressions and self-telepathy). i was never able to compromise, but i was able to "merge" of sorts. the key thing is no matter what it threatens or implies, the part talking to it holds the power, if you so desired you could sit there and argue and plead with it all day, it has no ultimate power over you.
i don't remember how the process of merging worked. basically i just kept looking at it and talking to it till it was no longer there, only i was there.
this was not through fighting and resistance though, that never got me anywhere like i said.

nope, i cant put a label on it, and because i cant put a label on it (like the guy that just said he had cancer did) no one realizes how bad it actually is either. but i wouldnt want to talk about it anyway, its ruined everything in my life. and this is too much to be saying anyway. oh and its not that i dont want a label, i would love a label, but the physical pain and the causation and action behind it is complex and unknown. fuck, i am not doing this again. i remember every time why i dont talk about this.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*

Yah, I try to constantly stay in the now. "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle helped. I live to feel and embrace my being.
