Cultivating a counteractive dynamical system through the use of an ecology of practices and psychotechnologies can address the issue of parasitic processing. By internalizing and integrating these practices, a person can develop an effective system that can counteract and respond to the complex and adaptive nature of parasitic processing. An example of this approach can be seen in the cultivation of the eightfold path in Buddhism, which involves various practices that mutually support and reinforce each other to enhance relevance realization and overcome parasitic processing.
Remembering the Being Mode to Overcome Modal Confusion
Modal confusion, characterized by a loss of connection with the being mode, can be addressed through mindfulness practices that facilitate a deep remembrance of the being mode. By engaging in practices that promote present-moment awareness and a non-judgmental attitude, individuals can reconnect with the grounded and non-dualistic perspective of the being mode. Mindfulness practices such as meditation and objective seeing can help individuals overcome modal confusion and regain a sense of wholeness and clarity.
Balancing Reflectiveness and Immersion to Address the Reflectiveness Gap
The reflectiveness gap, where individuals oscillate between excessive self-reflection and a loss of agency, can be addressed through cultivating a state of flow. Flow experiences involve a dynamic integration of focused immersion and flexible reflection, enabling individuals to engage in tasks with optimal performance and meaningful involvement. By practicing activities that foster a state of flow, individuals can navigate the reflectiveness gap and strike a balance between deep engagement and reflective self-awareness, leading to a sense of fulfillment and agency.
Resolving Perspectival Clash through Pragya and Non-Duality
Absurdity, which arises from perspectival clash, can be addressed through practices that promote the state of Pragya or non-duality. By cultivating a deep intuitive knowing and interpenetration of perspectives, individuals can overcome the clash and find coherence and insight. Practices that involve scaling down to pure consciousness and scaling up to profound connectedness can help individuals reach a state of non-duality, resolving absurdity and fostering harmony between different perspectives.
