The meditation practice pointed to is fascinating, one can get 'attuned' to that part of the mind and it's like a never ending acid trip. Everything experienced and reactions to those experiences jumble around in the mind at a very very low level. The attuning process 'amplifies' this brain activity and coheres it into actual thoughts, using existing pattern and shape recognition pathways to conjure up visualizations.
Creativity seems to revolve around laying down 'trails' through the wilderness. The jumbled mess by itself isn't terribly interesting, it's the application of pattern and craft that does that.
- kitotik 8y agoIt was once explained to me as a dam vs a swath. You will never successfully disentangle/stop the madness and constant flow of thoughts(good,bad) but you can sort of detach and tread water to watch the current.
- pharke 8y agoI didn't see the part about visualizations and to my knowledge they are considered a distraction to the practice of meditation and not to be sought after. I was actually thinking the opposite for the cause of the perception of "the chamber of guf" that it results from the suppression of the default mode network and the decoherence of other organizing factors in the mind. To use the metaphor of the article, you ask the Angel to stop promoting just a few of the thoughts and instead just leave the door open so you can listen to their murmuring.
