The conscious self image is still subject to circumstances. Free,
divested of conscience, in authority. Short of emancipation a bit?
I caught a nasty chest flu around the 23rd, chills and fever a few
nights in a row. Haven't had a smoke since, been smoking for fifteen
years, mostly over a pack a day. Everything is foggy, not feeling
myself, it started during the fever. It actually started in early
December when mom called crying, that time of the year too.
I am seeing shifts in the unconscious and feel unfamiliar, maybe it is
normal. The 'phantom' is the illusion of self right?
