Wanted: people who have used an online persona for self-transformation | Technoccult
Have you used an online persona to accomplish self-transformation? I’m doing research for my hypersigil project currently thinking it will take the form of a free e-book, and then be extended into something else from there, and I’m looking for personal stories from people who have attempted to use online personas to make changes in their lives. Whether that meant taking up another gender identity in IRC or Second Life before taking transgenderism in real life, or crafting a different professional identity to make a career change, or using social media to get out of a rut in life, I’m interested in talking to you.
I especially want to talk to you if you’ve tried and failed.

This sounds great. I’d love to share my experiences and to get my hands on the final product. I failed fantastically towards the end of my “persona’s” first life cycle but managed to establish a couple milestones along the way. The sheer energy requirement to maintain him simultaneously with my private life was trying. A number of the behavioral modifications made then have been added to my general repertoire with great effect. Certainly it was complex of exploration and an experiment in effectiveness through months of hard work & exhilarating fun.
Best to you.
