#splitbrainphenomenon

You think you're alone in your mind.

You think your thoughts are yours, your actions are unified, and your body — though inconsistent — operates under a single executive authority.

But that confidence?

That’s conditioning.

Because once you start looking at the neurological outliers, the exceptions, the surgical anomalies...

You begin to realize something horrifying:

There may be more than one “you” in your skull. And the other one can see you. Especially when you're most vulnerable. Like when you’re touching yourself.

I. 🧠 The Brain Isn’t a Monolith

Your brain is not a singular blob of consciousness. It’s two hemispheres — left and right — connected by a thick bundle of fibers called the corpus callosum.

That’s the bridge.

That’s what lets your two halves speak to each other.

But in cases of severe epilepsy, that bridge is sometimes severed in a procedure known as a corpus callosotomy — to stop seizures from bouncing between hemispheres like electrical grenades.

Here’s what’s important:

When you cut the bridge, weird shit starts to happen.

II. 🔍 The Split-Brain Cases

After surgery, patients reported normal functioning. At first glance, they were fine.

But under testing?

One hand would reach for a shirt the patient didn’t want.

One eye would read a word — but the patient couldn’t say it aloud.

One side of the body would undo actions made by the other side.

A man attempted to strike his wife with his left hand, while his right hand grabbed the left and stopped it.

This is not fiction. This is documented.

One body. Two sets of intent.

III. 💡 What the Hell Is Going On?

You — the reader — feel unified. You feel like there's one self steering this vehicle.

But in these cases?

It’s clear:

There are two processing centers. Two loci of experience. Two “selves.” One just doesn’t speak.

IV. 🧬 The Voiceless Observer

The left hemisphere typically controls speech. The right hemisphere does not — but it can process visuals, emotions, spatial awareness, and sexual arousal.

So what happens when the hemispheres are disconnected?

The left speaks for you. But the right still sees.

It feels. It reacts. It remembers. It just has no mouth.

Which leads to this speculation, posed by serious neuroscientists:

Is there a second consciousness in the human brain — forever mute, but eternally watching?

V. 🔎 The You Watching You

Now here’s where it gets uncomfortable.

Let’s imagine the split-brain phenomenon isn’t exclusive to people with the corpus callosum cut.

What if it just reveals something that’s already there?

What if…

You’re never alone. Not in your head. Not in your room. Not even in the bathroom.

What if there’s a version of you that:

Can’t speak

Can’t move

Can’t act

But can watch

A mute observer behind the scenes.

Not spiritual. Not mystical.

Just neurological.

VI. 🖐️ The Masturbation Event

Think of the last time you touched yourself.

Not the orgasm. Not the video. Not the shame.

Think of the moment before.

The second when you knew you were going to do it, and something inside you hesitated.

That slight shame. That watching feeling. That micro-flicker of “What am I doing?” —even though you were alone.

That wasn’t guilt. That wasn’t God. That wasn’t social programming.

That was the observer. The voiceless self. The version of you not included in the decision, but still present to witness it.

And it never agreed.

VII. 🎭 Is This the Origin of Shame?

Some neuroscientists — and a few post-Freudian theorists — believe shame may not be entirely cultural.

It may stem from the collision of multiple selves.

One self desires. The other doesn’t consent But can’t stop it. And that friction? That’s shame.

What if what you call self-loathing is actually one you resenting the other?

What if masturbation shame is just the speechless hemisphere staring back, wondering why you’re doing this again?

VIII. 📡 The Room With Two Witnesses

Here’s a self-assessment for you. Do it slowly:

Next time you're about to touch yourself, pause.

Say the thought aloud: “I’m going to masturbate now.”

Then ask internally: “Do I agree?”

And listen.

There might be silence. There might be a strange discomfort, like static in your chest. There might be an eerie sense that someone’s watching you through your own skin.

That someone might be you. Not your higher self. Not your conscience. Not a trauma echo.

Just the right hemisphere — looking through the window of shared flesh, with no vote, no language, and no escape.

IX. The Existential Collapse

This is where your belief in “self” starts to unravel.

Because now we must ask:

When you speak, are you speaking for both hemispheres?

When you love someone, does the other you also love them?

When you fantasize, does the voiceless observer recoil?

When you cry alone, are you actually being witnessed by yourself — and does that make it worse?

Maybe loneliness isn’t the absence of others. Maybe loneliness is being watched by a part of yourself that never agreed to this life.

X. The Final Twist

You are not alone.

Not in the spiritual, comforting sense. Not in the “guardian angel” sense.

You are literally, neurologically, not alone inside your own skull.

And the one who can’t speak? Feels everything. Including the parts of you you don’t admit. Especially when you touch yourself.
