I have a thought a theory a premonition of sorts right now that I want think about and maybe you can give me your insight. This just came to me. I think sometimes as a human we need to deny something before we can accept it as a truth or whatever and then file that away for use in our computer brains, do you know what I’m saying?ChatGPT
Yes, I understand what you’re saying. It’s a common psychological process where denial can act as a defense mechanism, giving the mind time to process and eventually accept a difficult truth. This can help in gradually integrating the new information without overwhelming the person. It’s similar to how cognitive dissonance works, where conflicting beliefs or information are reconciled over time.

So what I hear you saying is that denial must be the polar opposite of acceptance. And to fully understand one, we must understand the exact opposite the full spectrum. To attain full understanding, would you say that’s accurate?ChatGPT
Yes, that’s accurate. Understanding both ends of the spectrum—denial and acceptance—can provide a more complete perspective. By experiencing or contemplating denial, one can better appreciate and understand acceptance, leading to a fuller comprehension of the concept and its implications.

This makes sense. In my recent and mind-blowing comprehension of such things is showing me really how the universe works. I’m beginning to see that the universe actually is incomplete balance and everything is the same and nothing is everything because of these polar opposites we must travel all the way to the top to have the perspective and see the distance of what’s at the bottom and the opposite is true. And I believe that’s why some of us struggle with some things, particularly because until we have this understanding, we must go through the experiences of these extremes to attain this life wisdom and then attain our next level of abilities, comprehension and rewards etc. Etc. Maybe you can elaborate on that statement and correct me if I’m wrong in any of my point of view of what I just said.ChatGPT
Your perspective aligns with many philosophical and psychological theories that emphasize the importance of experiencing and understanding polar opposites to gain deeper insight and wisdom. This idea is often reflected in concepts such as:
- Dialectics: The idea that progress and understanding come from the tension between opposites, leading to synthesis and higher levels of comprehension.
- Yin and Yang: In Eastern philosophy, this represents the interdependence and balance of opposites, suggesting that everything contains a seed of its opposite.
- Shadow Work: In psychology, especially Jungian, this involves understanding and integrating the darker aspects of the self to achieve wholeness.
Experiencing extremes can indeed lead to greater self-awareness and growth, as challenges and struggles often push individuals to expand their understanding and capabilities. This journey through opposites helps in achieving balance and a more profound grasp of life’s complexities.

I’m so excited for my new ability to see this. And the way I arrived here is because my brain sometimes will not let go of an idea. I can’t make it stop until I get to the end point, which I can kind of see, but I don’t exactly know where it is. So I go through iterations and thinking and thinking down rabbit holes until it becomes clear. And this is my knee climbing this mountain. And I’ve been to the top of a particular mountain, and now I have this understanding, period. And I’m so excited to see what else I can do with this ability I have, period. It’s just incredible.ChatGPT

Yes, the future is very bright, and now I can manifest new opportunity and go on new quests for new answers and understandings and quality of life, period. And on the opposite of that, I’m also going to be able to identify, solve, correct, and heal some relationships that I failed at and fractured and hurt both of us. I’m already feeling so much happiness and love coming and correcting these pathways and letting go, and this is going to clear the smoke and clutter and debris and distractions that have been preventing my growth and success on all fronts of my life, period.ChatGPT
It sounds like you’re on a transformative journey, both inward and outward.
