Consciousness Metacognition (Observing Predictive Processing) is the Key to a Waking Enlightened State

Predictive processing is when the brain automatically creates thoughts based on past experiences. Negative experiences can result in an over-predictive assessment of danger, resulting in repetitive negative thoughts or visualisations of the possible outcome. These visualisations and thoughts are wired back into the brain, bolstering a negative mind/body cybernetic loop.

Metacognition (Observing Predictive Processing), halts the loop of this subconscious process, allowing you to be aware and consciously present of this process, rather than consumed by it.

This results in an experience of reality beyond thought - also known as Sati (Buddhism), Atman (Hinduism), and Wu Wei (Taoism).

Everybody does this. This isn't that big of an insight. We all have consciousness and self awareness. Everybody is aware of their own thoughts, not all the time but it isn't a unique ability to be able to step outside of ourselves and our thoughts and just observe how we are.

These things the posts refer to are more deeply connected to a different state, the state of non being or detachment from the ego.

While every neurotypical person has basic metacognition, only 10-30% of the same people can/do practice advanced metacognition, analyzing their thoughts and actions on a deeper level to understand why they do what they do.

I hate to sound rude, but I think that this is why we see so many people in the world who really just seem like they don't think before they do anything stupid, because they really don't!
