so not spacial-sensory dimensions but relational ones?

Here you go fam Systems of systems is the key. Doesnt matter which ones you use as long as they are related sequentially. Study sequential systems in depth and compare the broad philosophical truths of them. Find strong similarities and overlaps.https://twitter.com/Cantide1/status/1250554398977208323?s=19 …

-Cantide- 🧢 🧘♂️ ☸ @Cantide1Obviously there are bandwidth limits, but it's possible to study multiple theories and systems, deeply, in one broad category. Like philosophy or spiritualism, socio-culturalism, etc. This has wonderful implications for numbers of people climbing the steps of complexity. pic.twitter.com/OI7Dlo5UoEShow this thread1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

Fractal systems work best for my mind. What I'm current exploring. Some people know about different systems of Bhuddism and mind study.
@NoaidiX Enough to think of them at the same time. Concurrent systems all comparing the same idea. https://twitter.com/Cantide1/status/1251251836281147394?s=19 …pic.twitter.com/zK0L0ynDbt

The key is that I chose my core system as yes true real good now. I ask it if every thought I think might be true. Any concept. The feelings in my body. What my eyes see. What I'm about to write. This gives me an anchor in a 1 field. Reality. https://twitter.com/Cantide1/status/1251253309760995328?s=19 …pic.twitter.com/OErckTTE4k

Comparing every vibrational feeling or thought, every possibility shape, against yes true real good now, will show you the fundamental truth of the part of the universe that is 1. Eventually probably 0 too, but dont hurt yourself. https://twitter.com/Cantide1/status/1251256378632613898?s=19 …pic.twitter.com/FuLPoyBtig

Key is finding a truth table against which to weigh a possibility, a thought, a feeling. This table is yes true real good now. Then each thought when weighed will either pass, change, or fail. Feel the answer. Ask them in sequence quickly of the idea. https://twitter.com/Cantide1/status/1251257169066033152?s=19 …pic.twitter.com/lqHGjEY9g7

Easy way to practice is asking "Is this feeling/concept yes true real good now?" Feelings are good, emotions. Imagine eating ice cream. Mmm. Yes true fake good (then and now). All those different feelings about ice cream. Crazy. https://twitter.com/Cantide1/status/1251258911442849792?s=19 …pic.twitter.com/5JkyFa2lTW

Buddhist scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi often discusses ice cream in the context of the Abhidhamma, an intricate system of phenomenological psychology.
An fMRI/EEG study on meditation with Leigh Brasington suggests jhāna endogenously activates the brain's reward systems.

I believe it. Focusing on embodiment of acceptance will by nature trigger reward systems that are in the refrential possibility cluster. Each thought is tagged with positive values for good, happy, joy, yes, these spill over to linked positives.pic.twitter.com/bXyglRrtvN

Integrated embodiment stimulates the dopamine reward system via the nucleus accumbens, but I also wonder about the possible connection between the formless spheres of meditative absorption and endogenously occurring DMT.https://twitter.com/NoaidiX/status/1223642610788515840?s=20 …
x.noaidi added,
x.noaidi @NoaidiXReplying to @CarlosJA2020I wonder what kind of studies are currently being conducted on endogenous production of DMT. Most researchers in this area focus on psychedelic substances, but there's actually reason to investigate the varieties of intensive spiritual practice that may activate its synthesis.2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes
not having experienced formless spheres I can only speculate on the quality of awareness: I'm speculating a cholergenic area in the pontine tegmentum (if I remember correctly), related to REM sleep and when lesioned produces unconsciousness, might be related to arupa jhanas.

I wonder if this sort of unconsciousness may be more likely related to the so-called "ninth jhāna," nirodha samāpatti.https://twitter.com/NoaidiX/status/1237879777211502597?s=20 …

Phenomenologically, nirodha samāpatti is similar to dreamless sleep or coma and may very well involve overlapping neural correlates.https://twitter.com/NoaidiX/status/1207480933093298176?s=20 …

x.noaidi @NoaidiXReplying to @NeuroYogacara @evantthompson and 2 othersThe mindless samādhi-s (both asaṃjñā samāpatti and nirodha samāpatti), along with dreamless sleep, coma, and other significant interruptions of ordinary consciousness challenge the diachronic unity of consciousness. This is the subject of my second master's thesis. 1/1 reply 1 retweet 7 likes - 3 more replies
