Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get back that feeling of being the "same person" I used to be?

You don't need to "get it back"; you need to "restore the sense" of it. "The Sense of Being the Same Person Here" is a result of Contiguous Attention. When your attention is no longer fragmented by digital triggers, the "gaps" in your identity close. You begin to feel the weight of your own history again. This isn't about returning to the past, but about realizing that your "past self" and "current self" occupy the same structural center.

Why did I lose that sense of being the "same person" in the first place?

High-velocity living forces the brain into "Reactive Mode," where you only exist in the immediate "now" of the trigger. This "erases" the narrative connection to your past. By lowering your velocity and closing open loops, you allow the Narrative & Identity system to re-connect the dots. Continuity returns when the "noise" of the present is low enough for the "signal" of your history to be heard.
