i disagree. there is thresholds. a person who has repeatedly nearly died in high stress high danger situations eventually becomes overfull and cannot stop looking for threats. this happens because the threats struck and injuries were sustained that caused scars and disordering. those who are the most susceptible to following along have no skin in the game, and have never suffered enough to break through, and those who are like this who didn't, will walk straight into the meat grinder. so, actually, if you haven't taken enough risks, you haven't learned anything, and all this conditioning is second hand and is there to prepare you to be the sacrifice for someone else. the right path to freedom requires you to look, think, act, and evaluate the results, and to escalate your model, raise your risk threshold, and act. and around it goes. none of this is cheap. this is the lure and lie of new agism.

the biggest lie of new ageism is the denial of the self, smearing it with the word "ego" which means self. the trauma that was done to you is not something you can just let go of, nor can you forget who did it. that's baked into your nervous system. it is at the same time, who you are, as what you must overcome.

also, it says a lot that you think trauma is in your mind. some uncomfortable pills to swallow: - it's physically recorded in your nervous system, distributed across the places where it happened by developmental phase (eg, middle spine to lower brain is from conception until 6 months, starting with the first nerves developing) - there is two causes, those whose damage led to them inflicting it, and bad luck

good people can have bad luck bad people are those who refuse to seek healing

You mistake the physical for absolute reality; probably because it is impressively congruent, so you think of course materialism must be more real, but it is a mere construct. You have no proof, but you treat it as if you do. Embrace the uncertainty to end your ideological state. Or, go ahead, and accept your fate to be the victim.

ironically too, sometimes it goes in very strange ways. my mother was given morphine during labor with me. this led to me coming out blue. the doctors jabbed me and slapped me and flipped me upside down. this baked in a ragdoll reflex because i had no substantial strength anyway so my nervous system just said "fine, kill me then" and it didn't happen. then my father tried to suffocate me with a pillow once. i have recalled this one twice now. that didn't work because i learned to submit to unyielding pressure. then in 2013, bulgarian police pounded my head repeatedly on the pavement because they didn't even consider actually letting me just give them my hands directly to cuff, instead they roughly flipped me, broke my ribs, smashed my head 7 times, and it didn't kill me because i went slack, my head hit on my "horn" points on my forehead and rolled, dispersing the force. again, because i had learned to submit to unyielding pressure. so, sometimes your trauma becomes a shield. but eventually it makes it impossible to connect, and you have to connect to thrive. ironically, in all of this, the central point of damage is malformed neck vertebra. all i have to do is persistently do accupressure on the point between the top protruding spinal bone and my skull on a regular basis, and do exercises stretching my neck in every direction. other than that, i was already doing everything to compensate. smoking cigarettes is compensatory for the problems caused by distorted bones in the upper neck. cannabis is the best hitting 5 different spots at once. hot baths are good. heat packs on the back of the neck are good. float tanks and just floating in water is helpful by taking pressure off and letting the bones rotate and everything that reduces the pressure against the spinal cord allows the system to recover, and after 7 years, the problem can resolve. probably some kind of genetic therapy involving stimulating the bones to soften and re-grow would accelerate it but 7 years ain't so bad. just one day of doing the accupressure and neck movement exercise and my vision has improved almost 50% this was caused by that. it will turn out that all of it is caused by that, the celiac, the asthma, the anxiety, depression, the vision problem. the foods don't help, but the structural fault is one primary site.

by their fruits shall you know them. don't mistake the judgement for the person. nietsche was right but what he was right about was the authoritarianism of the church. it's easy to twist his words to argue that the psychopath is the superman. just like bad luck and malice, mistakes and manipulation look the same on the surface.
