The BP didn't quite down my AV. What it did do was ramp it up something awful and continuous, really allowing for me to clearly recognise IT talking to me with AV, and me thinking to myself that no way I'll ever agree with that crap ever again.
Eventually, after recognising the same drivel time and time again, I became indifferent and finally I would dissociate myself from any repetitive AV, and only new AV would catch my inner awareness and attention, but when it did, and does, my AV is anything but a whisper when new AV is discovered. Same old AV is routinely just auto-dismissed. The volume of such dismissals is akin to background noise I suppose, but certainly not silent.
AV is certainly just a normal part of my thinking now, the thing is of course, I recognise my AV as in fact AV, and not MY thinking. Can be a bit complicated for those who don't appreciate actual AV, but it really couldn't be simpler to recognise AV once a BP is in place.
