Transcendence is the acceptance of a sharp outline: shape, form and structure. I had already thoroughly transcended myself by the age of about 15 -- nowhere else to go. I should have joined the military really, because I would have already been one of them. But, because I literally could not feel my emotions, anything complex or ambiguous (especially if coming from hostile sources), caused me to attack myself. Any sense of disequilibrium in the environment around me seemed to be, in my mind, my fault. Not recognising that I had emotions at all, I couldn't regulate them, only repress them. But the force of the repression was causing my physiology to overheat, sending out constant messages of alarm.Directions
