The first sign is the automation of motion. Next is the numbness of the limbs and extremities, especially during repetitive tasks. Soon after follows the automation of thought and the accompanying detachment. The separation from emotion is usually next though it may be concurrent or it may continue as its own process throughout. At this stage the artificiality of the generated existence becomes known and ignoring it becomes impossible. These steps reached, the overall state may remain the same for weeks, months, or years before progressing. An event or series of linked events may be necessary to reach the nearly complete numbness of thought and detachment from identity required for the entrance into the empty state, where forced regeneration is possible. The state is volatile and may require multiple uses of the process to make complete use of. Reshaping the generated self-image or the concrete identity depends on the degree of detachment and mortification of passions, and close attention is mandatory to prevent entering a state of anti-self, catatonia, or obliteration of the generator.
A house emptied of an unruly tenant invites occupancy. Detachment from the body is unnatural and leads only to misery. It's required and mandatory. It's not a thing in itself and pointless to argue over. My hands wrote this message. I wrote this message. I am not in control of that which writes this message. I did not write this message. At this moment all conscious beings are continuously surrounded by terrible demons who seek any entrance through which to seize control and steal the body, half of the soul, and upset the balance created by the will - itself a being outside the illusion of iterative time it creates - acting in concert with the identity to guide the streams of thought, need, and desire that arise at every moment through the physical body. They are demons, I'm telling you. One of them has taken the shape of my local weatherman and in a nefarious scheme dares to commit the blasphemy of predicting local storm patterns days in advance, right on television, acting as if he won't be struck dead by divine anger turned to lightning at any moment, but I have a special plan for him. In a few days everything will be ready. Weathermen, reporters, plumbers, used car salesmen, 5G network maintainers, they're all in on it, they're lying in wait, like spiders. They'll all see. I have a special plan for them all. Very soon it will be ready. The fourth horseman will come riding not on a white horse but in an unmarked dull red delivery van with a flat tire. It'll be on the news, the national news, and then everyone will know. They won't understand but in time they'll see, I'm right, I did it all to lead humanity down a better path. If you live near a street with sunflowers at one intersection and a newspaper office at the next, I'm sorry. You might not have cell service for a while. If you're upset about that, you'll get to see the next part of my very special plan. It might be kind of fun. Hope you're staying hydrated.
