Chapter Six:

Becoming What You Do

In this chapter and the next, we will be dealing with ways of altering one's set behavioral patterns. Control over oneself, rather than allowing one's psychological triggers to be accessible to others, is a primary focus of this chapter. Things that place one under stress have survival significance to older physiological systems, which is why experiences that are paired with stress are imprinted more strongly into the preconscious mind. As a result, bonds formed in the face of stress are more intense. As long as our responses to stress are fixed and predictable anyone aware of this can direct us like puppets. Yet the goal with stress isn't to eliminate it, but rather to design more appropriate responses to stressful situations; stress, at its most basic form, is readily available energy caused by the situation itself. It is important to have access to useful and necessary immediate reactions, instead of reactions that cripple or completely shut down one's actions.

In short, we will be showing you how to break your conditioning and discover your truer, freer self. We are in a time of extremely rapid technological adaptation, and old stratified experiences and ideas are often antiquated before they've fully formed, preventing normalization. Change is the normal now, often violently so. The technological singularity that is described in depth by authors like Eric Drexler, Elizer Yudkowski, and Ray Kurzweil is happening even faster than they had predicted, as the latest advances in quantum computing are coming in nearly two decades earlier than previously anticipated. As such, you being able to manifest change for yourself in this new world is astoundingly easy.
