It's rather interesting how effective empathy is in psychological manipulation, subversion and propaganda. Watching Barefoot Gen or Graveyard Of Fireflies has the viewer seeing America as the villian, an inhumane monster that nuked innocent women and children in civilian Japan, melting their eyeballs and burning their skin clean off. Also, watching clips of Akira makes me excited about animating. I loved that film since I was young. It's such breathtakingly good art and animation. I'm still not entirely excited about transferring my skill to the digital medium, I much prefer traditional, even with animation. But I'm excited at the prospect of becoming an animator.

Even my schizoaffective disorder seems to be better from this. I still experience detachment and hallucinations, like seeing people in another room that aren't there during class last Friday, or the light beings visiting during meditation last week, but even that is rather positive. Just now a woman's voice in my head was supportive and complimentary. And I've been seeing my hair turn into ethereal flame in my imagination quite vividly

Another interesting self-observation is part of me feels my psychology and neuroscience studies slipping away, and along with it the knowledge I've kept in use. Just today I had trouble recalling the orienting response as I observed it. Yet I've studied both subjects immensely the past few years, so it's almost as if I have a degree in it. Somehow even though I'm letting go of that stuff for art, living in this martial arts dojo and doing taekwondo 3 days a week, and meditation/chigong 3 days a week, is producing a significantly positive transformation, both physically and mentally. And I'm still recalling and applying specific psych terms and nueroscience observation, as if the interference of constantly learning new material is no longer cluttering my mind.
