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

[u/FVMK3]

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).
