NGL, my mental audio loop (which I let run wild when reading slowly/for the joy of reading) did a vocal impression of yourself. Your way of writing is distinctly akin to your manner of speaking which is a significant accomplishment in mental alignment, IMO.
Thank you! This is an interesting way to look at it. I always thought that to be the consequence of getting most of my English from books. Probably, there's more to it indeed.
Love the idea of mental biomes! Incidentally, just today, I had the idea of visualizing a scene to focus my mind, and came up with a couple of environments with personal mythological significance. One is an observatory, representing work on my philosophy project. Another is an enchanted forest, representing listening to the subconscious. In both cases, defining a limited world to focus the mind motivationally. Like worldplaying games, but used for a personal real life purpose—setting motivationally salient scenes where the actions you want to have done flow almost automatically. I think there's a lot of potential here.
Good ideas often come to several people at the same time! I love both of your scenes, and if I remember correctly the enchanted forest was featured in your first essay. I also hope to come up with some non-obvious techniques for building virtual mental spaces. Generally, I see a lot of potential in the community that can gather around this newsletter.
