Indigestible
Manage episode 522224732 series 2934540
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. “ Mark TwainThis Part 1 outlines an upcoming book called "Indigestible" that presents a sense of self is a temporary, fictional narrative orchestrated by the Default Mode Network (DMN), which constantly produces the static of rumination and anxiety. The author argues that personal lives are not guided by free will but by a "programmed script" composed of cultural inputs, trauma, and epigenetics, the mechanism by which ancestral experiences physically alter genetic expression. Drawing on neuroscience, the text shows that practices like meditation and the use of psychedelics measurably decrease DMN activity, allowing the receiver to tune into the larger, unfiltered field of intelligence. The ultimate purpose, therefore, is not self-improvement but the "assimilation" of the individual ego, which is seen as a transitional form destined to rejoin the universal consciousness.
