and to then just watch these thoughts, feelings, and sensations move across your conscious awareness as if they're passing clouds in the sky. That is the ultimate practice of learning to let go of all the different obstructions that get in the way of cultivating that more fundamental part of practice, which is the prosocial connection,

which is the experience of awe, of just of the things that are all around us, the feeling of gratitude that we're living and breathing and able to share that kind of experience with each other. So that's, you have to wipe away all the cobwebs first before you can really get into those more transcendent experiences. So it's essential to cultivate that level of attention and its stability first.

And that's why Vipassana, mindfulness, these practices always start with just a concentration practice where it's just learn to stabilize attention first, then gain insight into your mental habits, and then work on the non-dual experience of dissolving a sense of self. And that speaks to really where the science and the field is going.

Like we are now contemplative science and contemplative research. thinks about the introduction of psychedelics as a way to manifest the mind with intensity. So you become very aware of what's happening in your mind and gives you the opportunity to go beyond it, to let those things go. They're just thoughts, just feelings, just sensations, and connect with something deeper and more profound.

Yeah, so David Yade and Jonathan Haidt, Andy Newberg and I actually wrote a paper on the experience of self-transcendence and created a model on this experience, like I referred to in the beginning, which was a feeling of being connected or union with self and others and this dissolution of dissolving a sense of ego or self.

And that, yes, so that now David Yadin is at Johns Hopkins doing work with psilocybin specifically to look at whether that kind of experience, those sort of self-transcendent experiences can contribute to health outcomes. And the data seems to be suggesting yes, and much faster than a lot of the more behavioral interventions. So the question now with contemplative research

is how best can we combine the meditative and cognitive behavioral practices with psychedelics in clinical context to help improve outcomes. So self-transcendence, again, becomes a critical piece to how health and well-being are experienced in everyday life settings for people.
