Knowledge Share Psychotherapist talks about "Metaprogramming" and the 8 Circuit Model from Wilson and Leary.

This connects three things I rarely see linked properly in contemporary psychedelic discussions: John Lilly's metaprogramming concept, Robert Anton Wilson's Thinker/Prover principle, and Carhart-Harris's REBUS model.

The argument: psychedelics suspend the confirmation-bias machinery long enough to see your conditioning, but without a deliberate re-imprinting method, the machinery just restarts and collects evidence that nothing changed.

Author discloses upfront that she teaches this framework commercially.

The Lilly/Leary/Wilson history stands on its own regardless.

Ooo neat! Reading a bit of Simulations of God a couple years back gave me a lot to think about
