Thank you.
There was something I wrote earlier to another comment about my branding being a part of an "art project". It was about destroying the body, and in a sense reclaiming my power.
It happened when things became dark and I began to see my body as a prison. Not wanting to be alive, but also being incapable of suicide. I started fantasising about destroying the body in an attempt to find peace (ie sort of a suicide analogy).
I didn't recover until months later when I visited a monastery and soon after smoked DMT for the first time. My friend was amazed when I returned from the trip and said, "it feels like I have hated my body for so long, and I finally feel at peace with it". (On the DMT that is).

This was an excellent book that helped me to understand the complexities of my branding, and how it helps us to determine our stories. Branding's are an invaluable tool in coming to understand ourselves and the broader world around us.
