[QUOTE="Zygo=cheekbone, post: 42386, member: 95"] It is you dulling the DMN through breathwork etc. that makes the brain strive for energy efficiency again, aka its metaheuristics is disabled (For the time being). Meaning conceptual labels are stripped away (Its not just yourself percieving "yourself" differently, you percieve everything you interact with differently aka your mode of cognition is no longer object oriented). As you can tell the brain wants to be in energy equilibrium and so if you stop doing these practicies you will once again go back to your notion of permanent self. This is just the neurochemical/ thermodynamic perspective of course. Buddhist doctrines on this aspect are as multifarious as their schools. I think it is enough to understand the utilty of such a mode of being rather than dwell too long on the metaphysics behind it, unless of course one is sufficiently compelled to do so. [/QUOTE]
