I looked into this as well since I find the YouTube algorithm terrible, but couldn’t find any API for exploration. Which makes sense they want to control what you watch and hence monetize. In a perfect world you could just pick an open sour

I think these thoughts are happening all the time we just don't normally notice them. During the transition to sleep, some parts of our thinking mind start shutting off and the filter cracks and that's what we notice sometimes, if

In meditation, instead of the breath you can use your thoughts as an object to observe dispassionately. I believe we all have what this author is describing, basically language based thought that we have no seeming conscious control over (I

I think this is clearly seen whenever we go for a walk or a drive, the mind drifts but you still somehow get to your destination and in hindsight wonder who was actually driving the car?

Agree that the whole senate field is a type of hallucination. But when it comes to thoughts appearing in our minds their transitions are much more classically hallucination like. I became aware of this during meditation. It has a strange in
