Well, there really is no boundary of insanity. Not one that you can define clearly, anyway. You shouldn't be afraid of yourself, that's not productive to learning. You're not that many people, hardware and software and all that, that's nonsense. There isn't a war going on inside you unless you imagine there to be one.
Be more bold.
I was like you, very ambitious. Started with a cube, after many attempts getting nothing saw something incredibly vivid, very much like lucid dreams that I've had when I was younger.
And then three months of nothing again.
I got SO EXCITED. It's there! I was right, people condition themselves largely, into a form of acceptable experience. But there is more.
So I took smaller steps. A point. A spot of magnitude. Add color. Add one more spot, at a measure from the first. Rotate that around, then rotate that in three dimensions. Trace letters, one by one. Read backwards the result. Light a surface, texture a surface, bend a surface.
The smaller the steps the more success you'll have. It's important to feel grounded, and it's important to be motivated to invest the time. Success is non-negotiable, it has to be there.
Frustration is the mind killer.
- 1_player 5y agoSorry friend, but most of your comments regarding "growing out of aphantasia" sound like we just need to pray it away, or similar nonsense. Have you thought perhaps it's not just a matter of "being more bold"? If being bold worked for you, have you thought that perhaps it might be harder for other people? Your advice feels a little too condescending to me. It's like going to a short-sighted person and telling them to just to open their eyes more and everything will work out in the end. I don't think you understand what this phenomenon is.
- godDLL 5y agoI'm not here to talk you out of your disability. I'm here to point out that it doesn't actually exist, because you can work at it and improve. That's not a disability, at that point. This is not to do with what you're born with, but what you're raised with. This is conditioning. I am a sample of one, but there is no contrary evidence that I can find; and plenty to support my experience.
