I've started my 3rd run about a week ago after a little less than 4 weeks of rest.
As I started running it again, the familiar unnerving feeling of my personality and world view shifting around... returned. I can't say I was missing it, but that's what I signed up for.
In any case, I can feel BASE running even deeper this time. I definitely made the right choice starting my third run. I'm just wondering how deep it can get and how many more runs it will take before it becomes effortless (if at all possible). I can't imagine running anything else though, so no dilemma here. That might change with AM7, but that's at least 2 more runs of BASE into the future.
As far as mindset changes go, probably the biggest shift can be described in terms of MBTI. The "P" in my ENTP is becoming slightly more flexible (or as MBTI calls it - balanced) ... which is, well... depressing. It feels like giving up on the fun part of life only to become what I perceived to be a boring, unfulfilled adult.
Or at least those were my role models. I'm still learning how to include a bit of Judging in my behaviors in a mature way... i.e. without getting stuck. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't know I needed some balancing. So I try to keep my mind on the prize, but the truth is I'm yet to figure out what the actual effin prize is.
Anyway, at least I'm clearing up a ton of negative emotions, which has got to be a good sign.
