#Persistence Effect

Se Actuality

Se is a function that absorbs objects in realtime (Pe), immersing itself into the subtleties of those objects (S). Se's hyperfocus on objects heightens their intensity and vividness with each processing loop, like how two speakers can create an amplified echo when placed side by side. It seeks objects with many layers of richness and detail to uncover, capable of providing high stimulation, whether those objects are abstract or concrete. If they are abstract objects, Se will immerse itself in those concepts with a linear focus, learning everything from the subject.

Heightened Focus

The Se user will constantly receive a photographic feed from the outer world and thus will have a heightened receptivity to sensory information, which can be both overwhelming when undesired and highly stimulating when accepted and honed. If this data absorption is sought after rather than rejected, the Se user will become so immersed in the 'one thing' in front of them that everything else suddenly disappears. The Se user's attention is cinematic, causing them to take in the world just as it appears with very high fidelity, and this can lead to an appreciation for "realism" in the arts and other mediums. The focus of a Se user is linear rather than divergent. They will want to sink deeply into the experience of a thing rather than spread themselves thin and broadly. Unsolicited tangents can be too distracting for them, jarring their attention and focus away from their present obsession. Even if the Se user has multiple interests- which they inescapably do – whenever they are immersed in a subject, it is with an acute intrigue. This dedicated attention can create hyper-vigilance and the capacity to refine an art form faster than others if they choose to attend to it. However, each skill will be domain-specific and not necessarily translate to acuity in other areas. If they are learning about a handmade craft, they may notice all the bumps, lumps, scratches, and dents in objects and quickly see the subtle differences in colors and shapes. Volumes of non-verbal information will collide with their attention constantly and guide them to calibrate their personal experiences accordingly.

Flow & Improvisation

The most direct way this sensory calibration happens is through an active flow. For the Se user, flow is when the body/mind moves in rhythm with everything else in the environment, as if pulsing with the same energy. During these moments, the Se user exists in direct contact with life, which creates an intoxicating feeling. One gets lost in the moment as they fine-tune their rhythm with the situation, which can happen when singing, playing an instrument, freestyle rapping, hugging turns on a skateboard, locking in trigger reflexes in an FPS, and the like. The Se user will get "in the zone" and feel most in their element when they can perform in realtime, making up their next move. Adaptation is essential to a Se user, and there is nothing more adaptive than reacting instantly, elegantly, and with no delay to every twist and swerve life throws at you. The closer they are to this flow, the more aligned they will feel. Life is most invigorating when they perfectly align the body's needs, desires, and situations. It may feel like a symphony coming together in harmony, and indeed, many Se users take to music production for its capacity to create this lucidity and fluidity. In all their activities and ventures, whenever life is not flowing in this manner, the Se user senses it and will feel out of alignment.

Vitality & Volition

A sense of volition also characterizes Se, as their linearity of focus quickly translates into a clarity of desire. There is an implicit knowledge of what is wanted and, as a Pe function, a craving for its attainment. The Se type will be a go-getter, motivated to gather what it wants in a literal sense. Se will leverage the environment to work for them, being opportunistic and making the best of what they have. Moreover, the quest for this attainment will carry a delicious zeal, giving Se users an added layer of vitality and self-assertion in reality. The Se user occupies where they stand, making their will known by their composure. Then, as they lock onto their target, they inadvertently create adversity as opposite wills always exist and chase after the same or competing resources. This only fuels their thirst for stimulation and arousal as they get immersed in the hunt. The challenge of going after their pursuits will be part of the very flow they so delight in navigating, and this quest for vigor can often manifest in hobbies such as racing, martial arts, and other daring activities. However, while capable of leading to sprints of great productivity, this ambition is not motivated by fiscality or conscientiousness. For Se, the desire to win is not sought for the long-term procurement of resources; instead, it is motivated by some stimulating challenge that reality posits and invigorates them to flirt with.

Movement & Restlessness

Not having dynamic movement happening, however, will feel like an absence of thriving. While Se users are prone to over-stimulation if the stimuli are unwanted, they also are prone to under-stimulation if their environment does not allow an outlet for creative flow. Se will have a low tolerance for being forced to attend to things they dislike. If they are denied the freedom to explore the world actively, suffocation sets in like a depressive weight. The Se user needs to "move" and see to scan the next corner. They will be prone to pack their bags and head off into town on a whim. The Se user lives a mobile life, constantly making things happen as they encounter different situations. However, this necessity for motion can also be a curse, interfering with family plans or the practical constraints of life. As children, Se users may be overly active, and it may be hard for their parents to find a constructive outlet for their energy at all times. The Se user may have little tolerance for routine and get into trouble for misadventures undergone in an attempt to abate the dread of idleness. Family members may pressure them to stay indoors or not go out as much, but often, the Se user will not listen and either sneak out or find a way to explore without permission.

Persistence Effect

At other times, however, life's sensory stimuli are highly unwelcome - making the Se user more keenly aware of disturbance than all others. The Se users' sensitivity to stimuli becomes a double-edged sword when there is a nagging noise in the environment, such as an insect's hum, a squeaky fan, or a crying baby. Temperature differences and potent smells can also be sources of frustration. Their Se will not be able to ignore the aforementioned since, as an explorer function, every new "refresh" of the environment yields the same output - leading to very real and somatic irritation. Ironically, their quality of attuned focus sinks more heavily in on the irritation rather than putting it out of their mind, causing it to grow until it is the only thing they hear or see, debilitating all concentration. At best, this guides the Se user to seek the most pleasant sensory atmosphere available, and at worst, it can cause open complaints and outbursts. Because of this tendency, the Se user will craft their environment whenever possible to match what their sensations can tolerate. They will pay close attention to minimizing potential inconveniences and maximizing comfort.

Ergonomics & Aesthetics

Due to this careful crafting of sensory experience, Se users often take to ergonomics. The look, feel, and appeal of something are critical. How it fits in their hand, how the grip holds, and how it throws, sounds, and moves are all heavily considered. The Se user will want "the experience" of a thing to be enjoyable and free of micro-irritations. They will go to great lengths to make that happen in their own life, selecting objects based on their ergonomic and aesthetic appeal. They may be fans of designer brands, which simply take the most effort to maximize user experience. This leads to an appreciation for luxury as an extension of their need for completeness of sensational exposure. Moreover, although they may not always afford the highest luxury, the Se user will often take steps in that direction whenever possible. More than others, Se users understand how to create something seamless and often pave the way in design and fashion. They will create things with beauty and convenience as priorities while being simplistic and to the point. Moreover, Se perpetually seeks new experiences as an explorer process, leading to very contemporary. Se gravitates to the latest, causing them to be trendy or at least have a keen understanding of where the trends are and how they are evolving.

Sensual Energy

While we all have an appreciation, capacity, and need for the sensual dimension, Se, being the sensory exploration process, receives a double dose of this facet of our nature. No sensation is more direct, potent, and contrasted than the sexual, and from this raw contact with the body, Se receives a level of natural eroticism. The amplification of their senses extends to a type of libidinal awareness and intelligence. However, each individual can choose to explore or repress this tactile energy. Indeed, many Se users - whether by culture or moral verdict - will select to shun this part of themselves. However, for those who decide to explore it, this can add a contagious chemistry to everything they do. The Se user, so predisposed, can be a vixen and leave a seductive trail behind them as they explore and express themselves. They may not shy away from making themselves attractive and showing a little skin or muscle. As Se wishes always to explore all sensory domains to the utmost, this leads to a pointed interest in the subtleties of flirtation, pickup artistry, and more exotic art forms. However, this can cause many Se users to grate against social repercussions and taboos. A girl may be frustrated by her mother's old-fashioned conservatism, or a man may be accused of sexual harassment for playful teasing or banter. Se, like Ne, is constantly crashing against the establishment as it seeks to break boundaries, peer around the corner, and dabble with all available information with less consideration of restraint or temperance.

-Behaviors Under Stress

Addiction

Like most people, the Se user is no stranger to a small quantity of wine or hard liquor. However, due to the acuteness and physicality with which they experience life's stress, the temptation to exhale problems through stimulants or sedatives is all the more pronounced in them than in others. It is here where the Se user may dive into their vice to an excess until it becomes a source of debilitation. More than a few Se users have met a short end at the hands of an overdose. Given their sensitivity, a Se user would require an inordinate strength of will to resist sourcing to a physical outlet when times become roughest. Under stress, they seek immediate alleviation from the unbearable "here and now." Their ability to think long-term may suffer or fade altogether as they become consumed only by how disquieting the present feels. This is especially true if their Ni has made a pessimistic forecast, allowing them little hypothetical escape from their situation. Addiction then acts as a form of escapism and relief, one which is unsustainable at best and fatal at worst. In these moments, the Se user needs to channel from external stimuli. When substances replace external stimuli, the Se user may withdraw from the physical world, forgetting that out there is where all life, vigor, and vitality are to be found. Substances act as a quick but ultimately less stimulating replacement for the bliss better found in the music, rhythm, and flow of dance and direct contact with reality.

Delinquency

In other situations, the Se user's stress can manifest in an unhealthy opportunism. The Se function will always seek, quite advantageously, the best experience possible, and when distressed, this impulsiveness can lead to certain unethical behaviors. As their spiritual reserves become depleted from psychological injuries, they may help themselves to the grace and resources of others, perhaps taking more than may be polite. In heavier cases, they may take more than they were explicitly allotted, which can develop into a habit for the Se user, escalating to shoplifting and eventually to outright robbery. The Se user feels that scarcity of resources is the cause for their sufferings, and attaining more objects is the solution to their deprivation. As with addiction, the Se user feels robbed of sensational release, suffocated by an unpleasant environment, and is seeking somehow to remedy the situation through tactile means. However, poverty or scarcity may not be the cause of their delinquency but instead may be a sort of greed for that which is unattainable. It may be a relative poverty they wish to abate when compared to a higher tier/class that taunts them with the faraway luxuries and experiences they crave.

🐳Stay consistent and persist don't let the 3D fool you🐳

Why some of us "fail" to manifest is because we are slave to the 3d and negative thoughts no seriously. And waiting for external validation is useless because it's giving the answer you want so why keep asking the 3d if you can manifest a car,money again and again,when we already have it in our true reality that is the 4d. We should not get overpowered by this 3d holographic circumstances and this illusionary thoughts which YOU chose to dwell on.

From my own experience law of assumption is a journey where YOU have to satisfy yourSELF not the 3d, everyone is different,everyone have their own personal favourite way to manifest like states,affirming,visualization or whatever you prefer. In my opinion you can start of with affirming,don't directly try to use states(it's not a method) if you are finding it difficult to embody state,just affirm,persist and saturate consistently,NOT to get in 3D but to satisfy your SELF internally.

Be consistent,discipline and persistent these are the KEY to satisfy your SELF, no matter what method you choose,embodying state or affirming,don't let the negative thoughts lead you back to your old self,be strict like an asian parents,and just how they bring you fruit after that yelling at you to study,your desires will also come in your 3d without causing any problem. Be your own parent during your manifestation journey,treat your negative thoughts like those bad influence kids, and when you start looking for movements and wondering how your desires gonna show up treat them like the judgement strangers who question you for everything you do or you have. Don't procrastinate that is when we usually start get doubts just because we aren't doing anything,activate the asian parent in you and scold yourself,and start to affirm and remind yourself who the boss is.

Also DONOT label any of your desires a "big" or "small" desire,they are all same,under you,YOU are on the pedestal not the desire,if you didn't thought about your desire they wouldn't even exist. So why even worry about them. Manifesting seeing a "butterfly" or seeing a "car" with certain "colour" is equivalent to manifest $2000 dollar out of nowhere,dating your celeb sp,having that hourglass body and waking up in your dream life.

When it comes to how you manifest it doesn't matter whether you affirm or embody state or being,SATS,what matter is your consistency because once you continue to persist you'll notice a shift also don't feel bad if you're someone who affirm for hours to saturate your mind but remember it's to remind yourself that you already have your desire in 4D, if you still feel like affirm and persistent will not take you anywhere go see Taylor Tookes insta and twitter post she is a living proof,most manifestation account from where I see success stories are usually affirm and persist girlies and boys like Taylor, Viper and BigDon three of my favourites on Twitter who share they're success story.

Bonus: Do not worry about your self concept,it's good to have one,but as someone who USED to have a good SC yet still couldn't manifest,I guarantee you it's not needed,but you can work on it if you believe it will help you manifest.

My rules are simple💙

☆.BE YOUR OWN DAMN ASIAN PARENT WHEN IT COMES TO MANIFESTING.

☆AFFIRM AND SATURATE TO SATISFY SELF(4D).

☆.YOUR ARE THE ON THE PEDESTAL NOT THE DESIRES.

☆.YOUR THOUGHTS ARE THE BAD INFLUENCE KIDS TRYI G TO GET YOU BACK IN YOUR OLD STATE AND JUDGEMENT STRANGERS MAKING FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DOING WRONG.

☆.MANIFESTING BUTTERFLY=MANIFESTING CELEB SP IS SAME NOTHING IS BIG OR SMALL EVERY DESIRE IS EQUAL.

MANIFESTATION WORKS PERFECTLY: You just refuse to accept your desires

Here’s the thing, sometimes your manifestations are right in front of you, but you don’t recognize them because you’re not willing to accept them.

The problem isn’t that you’re doing something wrong, not affirming enough, or not visualizing correctly

The real issue is that you’re not allowing yourself to RECEIVE what you’ve manifested. You’re either dismissing it, doubting it, or finding reasons to "push it away"

.·•ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎˏˋ°•*⁀➷ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ-

Let me give you an example:

Let’s say you want to manifest free food. A few days later, you go out with someone. When the bill comes, they want to pay, but you say, “No, it’s fine, we can split it.” Suddenly, you start feeling guilty like you owe them something.

This is a perfect example of rejecting your own manifestation.

You manifested free food, and it showed up, but you turned it down. Instead of feeling guilty, just let them pay! You don’t need to return the favor immediately, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to

Learn to accept the things that come your way without guilt.

It’s all about being aware of what you’ve asked for & what’s already showing up

How many times have you turned down something that was exactly what you asked for without realizing it?

Next time, ACCEPT IT

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷*ೃ༄⋆·˚ ༘ **ೃ༄ˏˋ°•*⁀

While we are on this topic, let me bring you another story:

A family was stranded on their roof during a flood. Boats & a helicopter came by offering help, but they refused, believing that God would save them. When they passed away, they asked God why they hadn’t been saved

God replied, “I sent you boats and a helicopter!”

*ೃ༄⋆·˚ ༘ *.ೃ࿐•·.·''·.·•ˏˋ°•*⁀*༄

How many times have you refused to accept your desires and then claimed it was "taking time"? Take a moment to look back and realize that you’ve probably had your manifestations right in front of you, but you didn’t accept them.

The point is, your manifestation is already there. You just have to accept it. So next time it shows up, don’t turn it down. Embrace it, your desires are already here

FIRST (ACTIVE) MANIFESTATION SUCESS: Using LOA + The Placebo effect to my advantage! ☆

After consuming a bunch of posts and finding a manifestation Youtuber with the name Hyler, I decided to get active immediately! The result? An hugely amount of luck i haven't experienced for months if not a year & a completely different perception of time.

☆ What did I do?

Use Perfume & be delusional.

(No, im not joking lmao 😭)

After my exhausting shift, i went to one of my local stores and got myself a perfume of my choice. It was quite a pretty looking one (atleast imo) & and a nice smell. All I did was pay 10 bucks and went back home - deciding that every time I'd use it, time would feel much faster & my luck increasing.

☆ How was my day?

My bus arrived 15 earlier at work than usual (which is INSANE, the most it managed was 4 minutes) , customers were awfully sweet towards me, time went faster than me enjoying a good TV show & my energy level despite only sleeping for 5/6 hours felt like I had 9/10!

People i always had suspicions about turned out to be exactly how I imagined to be & getting the karma they deserve. People i wished for having it better suddenly told me something great happened to them in the last few hours as well??

The littlest actions like me are conveniently being at the right place at the right time, feeling much more confident & my dreams that usually go missing in my head (so my IRL memories...) were as clear as day.

My thoughts on shifting, which were unorganized, felt much clearer. The weather went from super rainy to the perfect summer day. The MOMENT I stepped out of my store, food tasted much more delicious & and overall, it felt like I was still dreaming.

Im still blown away by the fact that a little action like this paired with my intention gave me a really fun & extraordinary day in a matter of hours.

☆ Why did I use Perfume, though?

In one of my DRs im a witch, known for being able to see into the future, casting spells, having a lively broom..and making magical potions.

Said potions can come in forms of regular drinks, face masks, or perfumes.

By doing this little experiment, I not only managed to get more belief in myself in daily manifestation but also get closer to my desired reality self! I did expect some outcome but not nearly the amount of results 😭

I cannot mention this enough : All I did was buy a random ass perfume, claimed it would change my life for the better & it actually happened like??!!!! Another sign for me that manifestation truly doesn't require any logic AT ALL.

☆ CONCLUSION

Obviously, im gonna continue using the perfume, maybe buying another one for a different desire lmao. I'll also try this out with wearing specific jewelry - and if getting a sip of my fav drink, for example, helping me succeed in shifting as well!! (　＾∀＾)

If you're gonna take away anything from this post, it's that you could claim the most ridiculous things on planet Earth can help you shift/manifest, and that it could happen literally OVERNIGHT.

And with that, you reached the end of this blog entry! Whole Heartedly thanking you for your attention ☆ ＼(^-^)／

Akutagawa saying he envied Atsushi for seeing the Headmaster is so sick actually? So he wants the same thing to happen to him? He wants to see/hallucinate Dazai

Like I'm sorry but... so much stuff there to be unpacked, lets say

I know 😭😭😭😭 This was such a heartbreaking yet inventive concept from this chapter? It hit me so exceptionally hard, I will be thinking about it for a long time. I really like how truly unconditional Akutagawa's love for Dazai is: he knows it's dark and hurtful, but there's nothing he wouldn't endure for its sake. Akutagawa is so desperate for Dazai, even a mere mirage can dull that aching. It's a little morbid, but it's /so/ the Akutagawa who would throw himself off a balcony just to catch a repeater with a chance of Dazai being on the other end. Also extremely compelled by how this is yet another instance of Akutagawa envying Atsushi for his misery, being convinced that Atsushi had it better even within his own martyrdom. It's just, so insane, so reminiscent of Akutagawa's past words:

And it's so deeply representative of Akutagawa's damned existence, how even Atsushi's misfortune seems preferable to Akutagawa's eyes. How the sickening visions that have been tormenting Atsushi are actually something Akutagawa envies.

I love how this adds yet another layer to their relationship. How would Atsushi react if he found out? Would he be pitiful? Mad? Both? And it also adds another layer to their scene in the mines which I love. The scene, together with the “the painful words of the past have essentially nothing to do with who you are” one, felt like the only moment Akutagawa expressed sincere empathy for Atsushi: he urges him to share his motives, he makes a comment where he compares Atsushi's mentor to his, he ends up giving Rashomon to him. It's a moment of Akutagawa trying to understand and work with Atsushi; and even though that much probably keeps being true, now we also have the added notion that such moment was stained by Akutagawa's envy. Which is so significative! Because it only reinforces something we've actually always known: that Akutagawa's envy for Atsushi has never left him, not when they're fighting, not when they're working together. Which doesn't mean Akutagawa loves Atsushi any less (because in my opinion he does! He died for him!); it just adds another element to their complex and multifaceted relationship.

Affirmations are just facts

Seriously when someone tell you fact about themselves do you question them?,when you read some facts about certain things you instantly believe it. Did you heard anything impossible but believe it just because you saw it on Google or read somewhere?

That's exactly what you do when you affirming, "I get money everytime I sneeze", it becomes a fact about you,you should not and must not question.

When you affirm,affirm it and put your focus on making it a fact,affirm,affirm and affirm,don't put your focus on when and how,just affirm even if you don't believe it,be normal,fool your subconscious it doesn't have any eyes,if you are not putting the desires on pedestal your desires will show up in no time.

Something I personally learn is,when I affirm I used to affirm at first I was OK we'll let's hope it work,and at first it felt good but then by the time it's night I would be so stressed out for some reason,and that is when I experimented with affirmations and how I affirm.

I noticed my affirmations sound very weird not very natural to what I will tell someone,so I start making my affirmations more natural, and second my whole focus was on believing the affirmations rather then looking for signs or when and how,if any doubts arise I will tell myself "as long as I believe the affirmations than it ok,my subconcious doesn't have eyes dont worry".

So start taking your life seriously for once and affirm those affirmations as FACTS!

It is already yours

Your desires are already yours—everything you want is already within your grasp.

You want ti be wealthy? YOU ARE

You want to become famous? You’ve achieved it.

The ideal relationship you desire with your 3D? It belongs to you, you are already with your person!

There’s no waiting, no delays.

The moment you desire something, it’s yours on a deeper level. When you truly accept this and align your thoughts with this reality, you’ll start to see these desires take shape in your life.

For instance, if you’re aiming for financial abundance, begin to think, act, and feel as if your bank account is already overflowing. You may start noticing opportunities to increase your income or find yourself making more financially savvy choices. By living with the mindset that what you want is already yours, you align yourself with that reality, and it begins to manifest naturally. The key is to genuinely feel and believe that your desires are already fulfilled.

And, NO! Feelings aren't about "forcing an emotion" but simply 'knowing it is your reality or your end destination'.

I shifted to a parallel reality again

I noticed this today, and now I feel like I am losing my mind, so I feel like I have to share this story with you guys. So basically, a week ago, before going to bed, I used this Nivea cream for my skincare, right? The next day, though, I decided not to use it because I wanted to see how my skin would react to the change, and honestly, I just didn't have the energy to do it again. Two days later I realised that I did want to use it again so I spent a couple of days looking for it day and night. Obviously, I did not end up finding it. Where did it go? Nobody knows. But wait. Today, I was browsing through my suitcase, and I found this pouch, right, and guess what was inside? The Nivea cream. Take into account that I have not opened that pouch ONCE since I've been on holiday, which means that, in one reality, I never even used the cream. You might be thinking to yourself: She probably just thought she used the cream, but actually didn't!! OR She probably put it back inside that pouch and forgot cause she was tired!! But, no. I know I used the Nivea cream cause I remember what was going through my head as I did it, and I remember the feeling of it on my damn face. Oh, and the pouch was so hidden that I knew I wouldn't have opened it before and put the cream back inside. Shifting to parallel realities is such a bizarre experience because it genuinely makes you feel crazy. Thankfully, I trust myself enough to know that I did not lose my mind, and this did actually happen because stuff like this has happened to me many times before. I hope this story reminded you that SHIFTING IS REAL!! And that you're not insane. Love you, stay safe.
