    The timing of this video is really on point for me. Because I realized that I have trouble listening or finding a certain persona in me that is surpassed. And I kinda thought about it as emotions being surpassed, because I suddenly have great conversations or feel passioned about my hobbies and also perform way better. But this is very rare and thought maybe I have some kind of alexithymia. But I didn't think about it as intuition. Interestingly I have these rare moments, when I smoked weed. Its not often because Im scared to build some kind of addiction. But it really opened me up to a part of consciousness in me, that I was longing for some time. Its because Im able to sense my internal state and have stronger emotions. I kinda feel like a kid again, haha. The most crazy part is that it statistically enhances my performance, because Im so much more concentrated by being so emotionally evolved. I tested it by playing video games high and comparing it to when im sober. But I certainly dont want to rely on it. But it showed what kind of person I can be, when I dig into it. Im on my journey right now to explore that part of me and allow feelings to come to surface. Thank you for your video and it was great sharing this comment.
