Hmm, I have never thought about all of this. I do not care when the AV is silent, I do not care when it is "noisy" I do not care whether or not there is Beast activity, I don't dwell upon it when it isn't there, I don't dwell upon it when it is there, I just recognise it, and am indifferent to it.
That's all I did/do and that is all it has taken to work for me. And yes, that is because of the Big Plan, I will never drink again and I will never change my mind.
But then again, I am not very inturelectrall haha
