At that moment, a torrent of warm and strong emotions poured into my heart. A variety of complex feelings, joy, longing, sourness, hope, loneliness, and fear were intertwined, dispelling the despair and pain entrenched in my heart. The pain disappeared.
Major felt that his heart stopped spasming and returned to its normal beating rhythm. The numbness and twitching of his limbs all disappeared. Strength returned to his body.
"Mom -" he couldn't help but cry. The call for his mother exceeded his longing for Nana. This was the desire of the little waste, but it was integrated with Major's feeling. The response of maternal love was like a strong wind,
Blow away the pain caused by Nana.
"Little George, live on and always remember that your mother loves you. Live on, live with love and hope, and bring warmth and kindness to the world. Even if the world is cold, you can warm everyone." The female voice slowly changed.
Be far away.
Major stood up. There was an angry growl in the distance.
The images of Nana and the man began to melt, like baked wax figures, their faces distorted, their bodies fell, and finally they turned into a puddle of water, seeping into the sand.
What a danger! Major knew clearly that at the moment of life and death, it was the thoughts left in the body of the little waste that saved him. Something created an illusion in his mind, extracting the most profound pain, constantly strengthening the hints and
It intensifies, triggers and exaggerates physiological reactions, and ultimately causes sudden heart disease.
However, Major wondered if he had some heart problems in the past, which is why he reacted so quickly and strongly. As a psychological counselor, it is easy to accept suggestions and fall into hypnosis. Fortunately, the little waste-shouldn't call him that
, should be called Little George - the hidden soul fragments were also suggested and hypnotized. Major guessed that what Little George should have seen was a different hallucination.
However, although the danger to his life has temporarily disappeared, he is still in an illusion, like a psychological maze. If he cannot crack it, he will be trapped and die here. The low-laughing voice should be the creator of the illusion.
This is somewhat similar to hypnotherapy. When facing serious psychological problems, one method of hypnotherapy is to let the patient re-face the scene that caused him trouble. No more escaping, no longer suppressing, no longer hiding, be brave
Face the darkest corners of your heart, and if you do it right, the results will generally be good.
When cracking the psychological maze, there are only two ways, to find the creator of the illusion or to solve the inner demon yourself. Now that Nana has disappeared, there is no way to directly solve the inner demon, and Major knows that he cannot face this problem now.
After all, there was no resistance just now, and death was avoided entirely by the sudden appearance of little George. Then the only way left was to find the maker.
You should know that in hypnotherapy, the hypnotist will appear in the patient's state of mind in various images. Generally speaking, he will appear in the image of a strong supporter such as a weapon.
For example, in the treatment of a girl who was deeply troubled by domestic violence in childhood and unable to interact normally with men, the girl's fantasy was that she was in a dark room with no windows and doors and was full of spikes. After the treatment was completed, the girl
She described herself as if she had grown a pair of iron fists, smashing a big hole one by one, and walked into the sunny wilderness. After several treatments, she was no longer afraid of adult men and gained a stable relationship.
Where is the creator in your own mind?
The sky that was clear just now was already covered with dark clouds, and the clouds in the distance were as black as ink, with flashes of lightning from time to time. The blue and calm sea became turbid, with rolling waves, like a beast pounced on the beach again and again. Palms.
The tree moved automatically in the absence of wind, its branches and leaves dancing wildly, like a demon with its teeth and claws.
That weird low smile and angry low roar obviously came from the mouth of the creator. But the direction cannot be identified, and in such an illusion, the direction has no meaning. Up can be down, front can be back, left can be right.
Everything depends only on the state of mind itself. However, the creator must be in the illusion, otherwise he will not continue to exert influence - if you want to see it, you will be seen.
Major stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of sand from the ground. The fine white sand was smooth and delicate, slowly leaking from between his fingers, and soon it leaked cleanly, with not a single grain of sand left.
Major understood that this illusion came entirely from his own memory. The creator was not powerful enough to create an illusion out of thin air, and could only extract it from Major's memory. Just like sand, no matter how clean it drains under normal circumstances,
There will always be a little bit left on the hand. But now there is not one left. This phenomenon is very familiar. It obviously comes from the dream that Major had often had for a while after breaking up with Nana. In the dream, Nana was still living with him.
But it turned into a phantom of nothingness. Every time Major reached out to hug her, she would dissipate like a puff of smoke, leaving nothing behind.
Where is it hidden? Or rather, what is it?
It must be somewhere in the fantasy. Major turned around several times and carefully examined the fantasy from all angles. A few very simple iconic scenery, typical coastal scenery. Beach, seawater, palm trees, seagulls. Whatever.
It looks familiar and monotonous from any angle. It lacks the sense of depth and complexity unique to a real fantasy, and it also looks a bit messy, like paintings spliced together.
Painting! Major felt like he had caught something. He took a few steps toward the beach and looked back at the place where he had just stood.
There are a few clear footprints left on the beach - it should be so, it is logically correct. But the other scenery has not changed at all. The distance from the palm trees has not changed at all. The way and angle of the seagulls circling has not changed at all.
Where have I seen these images? Major can definitely grasp the key point of finding the exit of the maze. That is where these images come from. Find out the original memory that stores them, and you can know how the creator of the illusion used these memories.
Then you can find the creator. Just like eating a certain food with your eyes closed, as long as you taste the ingredients, you can find the person who bought the ingredients in the vegetable market, and then find the chef who cooked the food. Method
It's a bit clumsy, but it's very useful.
Major recalled his experience of going to the beach. He had only been to the beaches of Dalian and Qinhuangdao. These two places are located in temperate zones and are very cold in winter. There are no palm trees. Moreover, the only white sandy beach in China is in Beihai, Guangxi.
The fantasy was a typical tropical coast, just like the one in the advertisement - advertisement! Major suddenly realized that he was unknowingly influenced by the advertisement and connected love with tropical beaches, or maybe it was because Nana had always wanted to go.
Do you feel guilty for not going to the Maldives? In any case, in order to create a realistic three-dimensional world, the creator of the fantasy had to splice together many unconsciously memorized pictures.
Since it is splicing, there will definitely be seams left. One of the characteristics of brain memory is the use of characteristics. For example, when memorizing new things, it will automatically screen out the differences from similar things previously memorized, while ignoring the same similarities.
This can save space and resources. However, because of this, memory blind spots will appear. Therefore, no matter how powerful the creator is, it is impossible to present every tiny detail.
Major found a way.
He walked toward the sea. At this moment, the waves calmed down, and the water became as clear as sapphire. The waves gently brushed his ankles, which was very warm. Major walked toward the water and forcibly constructed an animation in his mind of the earth's crust rising, the sea water drying up, and the desert appearing.
.
Sure enough, the earth shook, and the sea receded, revealing the lifeless seabed. Sure enough - since the existing scenes come from one's own memory, then the things that are not shown must also be extracted from the memory. For example, if the underwater world, if
Walking towards the sea, the creator must show the scene under the sea, and Major's forced construction of the animated scene is to temporarily close the channel for subconscious retrieval of memories - imagining an animation with sufficient details out of thin air requires a lot of energy and resources, and the brain must
Go all out.
The creator's channel for retrieving memories was closed, and the illusion could not collapse, so he had to access the picture constructed by Major. Just like after finding the cook, taking away all his refined salt, and giving him a handful of coarse salt, he had to use
Coarse salt. Experienced eaters will taste the difference.
Now that the creator has been led away, the rest is easy. Major continued to build the animation. The sea had turned into a desert, and the seagulls disappeared from nowhere. Major let the earth continue to rise, supporting himself.
It keeps rising, getting faster and faster, and rushes to the zenith.
The temperature dropped rapidly, the ground was covered with snow, the sky became brighter and brighter, and the clouds were thrown behind the feet. Breathing became difficult, and each breath inhaled less oxygen. Major developed symptoms of altitude sickness and hypoxia. This
It was also part of the illusion, coming from his own cognition. Major did not hesitate at all and made the earth rise faster.
Finally, the earth stopped, and it reached an unknown height. There was nothing but dazzling sunlight. This was Major's purpose, to let the earth reach a height where he did not know what scenery and situations would appear - the creator just
It no longer knows. It can no longer obtain scenes and information from Major's memory, so it has to interrupt the creation of the illusion. Major thought about reaching the extremely deep seabed, but was afraid that the simulated suffocation would close the respiratory system. So
He wanted to go to a high altitude. He knew that the higher the altitude, the thinner the air became, but he didn't know exactly how thin it would be. This way, when the psychological suggestion affected the physiological reaction, he would not suffocate to death.
Now, this is where the creator finds it difficult to survive, a space that neither Major nor it can imagine and construct. This is the blind spot of cognition. The blind spot of memory can be repaired with other things, but the blind spot of cognition is incurable.
This is the interface between the real world and fantasy.
