Frequently Asked Questions

If I stop seeking stimulation, won't there be nothing left of me?

This is a common fear of the Narrative & Identity system. However, the Meaning Density Model™ teaches that "Presence" is what remains after stimulation fades. You aren't your triggers; you are the one who perceives them. By staying with "what's left," you discover your "core baseline." This presence is much more stable and durable than the reactive identity created by constant stimulation and pursuit.

How do I learn to "stay with what remains"?

Practice "Neutral Observation." When the music stops or the screen turns off, notice the "residue" of your existence—your breath, your heartbeat, the space around you. Don't try to make it interesting; just acknowledge it. This "bare presence" is the foundation of structural integrity. As you become comfortable with what remains, you’ll find it is actually a very rich and safe place to inhabit.
