Summary/Abstract: One can get detached from oneself and that is very dangerous. [...] I cannot compare that dread to anything else what you feel when you exist and you are aware, at the same time, that this is who you are. It is completely natural for you for 20 years or 30 years, or how many years you had lived then; and suddenly it is no longer natural, that this is “me”. Why am I “me”, why am I not “you”? Because I could be you. This surfaces in the brain and then it is already a chaos: that how the hell is it then? Somehow these pieces slip apart, the soul from the body; and the mind that has been bonded together like a Rubik-cube, gets torn apart somehow, the cogwheels get stuck. [...] and what fills me with fear is that this is who I am and that there is only one of this and I cannot escape it.
