freemickey Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 It's good to have finally made it to the boards! 2 years have past since I was first introduced to this beautiful podcast and the principles of anarcho-capitalism. I made a big push in my life for truth after returning from three and a half months working at sea on a small wooden fishing boat in the North Pacific. My False Self had no one to bounce my bullshit off of, for it was only me and one Captain who knew himself well and had no expectations of me except to do the job I was hired to do. I was left alone with my OWN thoughts while I cleaned fish, and it had been a very long time, 15 years I think, since I had last listened to them. I brought some books on philosophy, economics, an ipad full of Freedomain Radio podcasts, that helped provoke an inner journey.... and help out with a lot of the boredom too. I'm amazed and truly humbled at what the subconscious is capable of, what is THERE and real and contained in our minds ; the feelings and realities that can be revealed to your conscious self, even if you don't ask for them. I met myself out there. So I give a warm digital HELLO from the first posting of my True Self. I hope to share some good banter with the community here and hope I can help to add to some serious discussion as well! Thanks for taking some time to read my intro.
NotDarkYet Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Being alone for 3.5 months sounds like a wonderful inner journey. I'm so happy you found FDR valuable during those hours.

freemickey Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Being alone for 3.5 months sounds like a wonderful inner journey. I'm so happy you found FDR valuable during those hours. Well I am sure an inner journey can be wonderful, but for the purposes of a bright introduction I omitted the pain and anger I wrestled with out there. While cleaning fish and cooking meals day in and day out I began feeling all the emotions of anger and sadness I repressed as a child. The act repressing them even there on that boat, fighting them everyday in order to get the work done, was recursive of what I experienced as a child, having to survive, and in so doing this I hit bottom emotionally. But it is wonderful to be on the other side of that initial flooding of emotion and I am so appreciative of the circumstances that had to be there in order for me to break down a wall to myself I had maintained for as long as I can remember. I feel as though if I were to have been anywhere else at that time I would have found ample distraction to keep me from the fact.
Kurtis Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I'm amazed and truly humbled at what the subconscious is capable of, what is THERE and real and contained in our minds ; the feelings and realities that can be revealed to your conscious self, Hi Freemickey, congrats on connecting to your true self! I share your amazement at what truths are contained within our minds and the power of the subconscious to protect us from harm. It took me many years to be able to understand these messages (such as in dream form) and have so much gratitude towards my self for these truths. Many of the answers I'd been searching outwards for were right there in my mind the whole time, and FDR has played a huge role in helping me see and understand them. How you described your process through isolation resonates with me also. I work in forestry and spend the majority of my days alone in the woods (which I love), and this presents a lot of podcasting and audio book time. To be able to have consumed so many hours of FDR each day, in isolation, has had a profound effect on my process towards a happier me. Welcome and thanks for sharing!
