I've done a lot of talking and a lot of what I'm talking about I would like to summarize by saying it's kind of like hacking mania so I've talked about mania as a vision casting state I've talked about embodying one's mania I've talked about harvesting one's mania for one's manic traits and it's not about the manic state as much as it is embodying one's manic traits and I talked about the idea of harvesting practicing and embodying so harvesting one's mania practicing the traits and then getting to a point where one is embodying one's manic self and daily life not as in the manic state but actually in daily life and it's embedded in the body in the neurophysiology in the neural networks and in the gestures in the muscle memory so one has become that which one was in the state mania and that's one of the things that makes mania so desirable is one really loves how how one is and so my thought is that we can still be that way in daily life it just might take a little bit of practice and even though it takes practice in daily life it doesn't necessarily have to take practice because one can become manic or in the manic state with a snap of a finger and my thought is by practicing embodying the version of oneself that one is in mania when that extra energy comes it will actually be able to be more efficient and be able to be enacted relationally and this is another thing that I thought of was that this extra energy that we that takes over us in a way a lot of times it is directed into creativity playfulness learning and just a bunch of the different manic traits and a lot of those traits and a lot of the creativity is actually something we want to share or we want to make it relational and a lot of times if we are out in public we get into conversations with strangers that we otherwise wouldn't get into and so in that way we're actually making it relational by relating with others with that manic energy and they might not even be aware that we're in the state of mania because they've never seen us before that's one of the benefits of strangers if I was in a manic state and acting out of character around my family they would start giving me the funny eyes like what is wrong with you and I would probably sense that and it would be sort of one of those buzzkill experiences and that energy gets dissipated instead of that energy getting shared relationally with a stranger who might actually find the interaction quite enjoyable with the family interaction if I'm out of my character of my normal ego self that energy is going to be dissipated in being defensive or getting into some kind of something over something and it'll be kind of a waste and it'll also bring me down and probably agitate me because I'm not being allowed to be that self that I'm wanting to be or that energy is wanting me to be that's the thing too that extra energy comes in and animates us in different ways it through through gesture through so many different things I've experienced in the manic state being a lot stronger a lot more flexible and this is just overnight there's no reason why I should have way more strength there should be no reason why I can dance sufficiently better even though i am not really dancer um and I'm stronger and if I run through a bush of prickles I don't get a scratch on me somehow so there's a lot of different things and another thing is my family they comment that I look taller which is interesting they always say oh you look taller so there's those are just some physical things that that happened but really it's that energy I think that energy totally releases all the muscle tensions that are the ego memory complexes stored in the muscles and the adapt tations we make over time and gravity that energy comes in and takes a lot of that away so I do think there are a lot of clues in the manic state and if one can survive it I've gone into a state of psychosis after and also states a depression which may have been caused more so the depre
