In this episode, we explore how the paradigm of oscillatory complementarity can articulate and clarify a wide range of exotic phenomena. We discuss how concentration meditation can give rise a certain kind of oscillatory annealing, and how insight practice involves de-energizing the non-linearities (gestalts) that make up your world-simulation. We also explore how LSD non-duality can be understood as more diffuse elements of experience becoming the non-linear oscillatory complements of the field of awareness, such as "light", "space", and "being". Finally, we re-evaluate the models introduced in the original Qualia Computing article on the geometry of DMT experiences in light of this new paradigm.
