Ineffable Ontological Detanglement .: Introspective Assistance & Mental Analysis Manual
The one you all know best is obviously memory repression, the semi-conscious alterations to the compartmentalization tell your semi-conscious this is not to be seen. This is often pathetic however more often than not it is not pathetic, sometimes something just hit your trauma centres and this is what happens even if you retained a cool head and didn't feel yourself being overly traumatized. The memory is always there, it's impossible to delete a memory, even all the way to age ninety every little second you've ever experienced is still in there somewhere however it is falling under varying levels of damage and blur. Every now and then your semi-conscious will still get a glimpse of this memory, sometimes it may cause a surprised gasp seemingly out of nowhere.
Sometimes you're not repressing a memory, sometimes you're simply repressing knowledge. Sometimes you've kept the majority of this memory or knowledge except you have removed one key component. You may be able to look at the memory, it may seem pretty vivid, however somebody has been entirely cropped out of it. Sometimes... This means you can be in the same room as this person and make them disappear, what we call perceptual denial.
Sometimes what you have is state dependent, what we call dissociative denial, meaning that in certain mental states, partially semi-conscious, the information becomes available to you and then once you enter a new mental state, regaining full conscious, the information once again disappears. How deeply you lose your conscious depends on how deep the trauma.
Now, society psychology likes to take dissociative denial from real psychology and passive aggressively label you pathetic, however this is simply a function within the general compartmentalization systems labeled denial. Sometimes you're within a pathetic response to life experience, yes. And NO I'm not just saying that because it used to happen to me all the fucking time.
Ability to fuck with your compartmentalization is however generally based on your deep petheticness index, level of cognitive functioning, level of inherent morality and level of intelligence are generally the intial spark. You were likely raised innocent and told to remain innocent. It really begins getting out of hand when you begin self elevating other diminishing at your own deep patheticness index, now you basically get to go wherever you want. If the big one hit you, fully conscious parental child rape, yes you are pathetic. Because you saw it coming, level two cognitive functioning can see it coming, you chose to remain society normal so your friends and family will not judge you.
What can be surprising, however, is people with absolutely no semblance of deep petheticness index, nothing about you is saying you don't want to keep these memories, no, stop repressing memories I have no problem with holding onto these memories. However because you've had so many little semi-conscious flash moments that say you are within the system and these memories are to be repressed, or an initial event hit you at a point of development that causes an automatic repress even though you're fully capable of dealing with these feelings, now you just start repressing memories all over the fucking place. It's fucking annoying.
Level three cognitive functioning represses a lot of memories around level two cognitive functioning in order to help maintain their awareness. We always retain "I think you have a misunderstanding of this person, of this event" however because we know what they do in order to maintain their understanding of what's happening is repress memories create false memories, it's too much, we repress memories as well, we enter into the system. It helps them maintain, we lose a lot of memories relating to everything that declares their understanding obviously blatantly false the evidence is right here you're in a floaty delusional delirium. All we get to keep is you have a misunderstanding.
