You can start with looking at a face. Maybe look at your own face in a mirror. Look at your face for a few hours in a mirror or for a few minutes. At some point, it will look very weird because you notice that there's actually no face. You basically start unseeing the face. What you see is the geometry.

At some point, it will look very weird because you notice that there's actually no face. You basically start unseeing the face. What you see is the geometry.
And then you can disassemble the geometry and realize how that geometry is being constructed in your mind. and you can learn to modify this. So basically you can change these generators in your own mind to shift the face around or to change the construction of the face, to change the way in which the features are being assembled.

Yeah, that is probably what you shouldn't be doing, right? Because outside of your personal self, this outer mind is probably a relatively smart agent. And what you often notice is that you have thoughts about how you should live, but you observe yourself doing different things and have different feelings.

And that's because your outer mind doesn't believe you and doesn't believe your rational thoughts.

And that's because your outer mind doesn't believe you and doesn't believe your rational thoughts.
The thing is that the outer mind is usually smarter than you are. Rational thinking is very brittle. It's very hard to use logic and symbolic thinking to have an accurate model of the world. So there is often an underlying system that is looking at your rational thoughts and then tells you, no, you're still missing something. your gut feeling is still facing something else.

And this can be, for instance, you find a partner that looks perfect or you find a deal and you build a company or whatever that looks perfect to you. And yet at some level, you feel something is off and you cannot put your finger on it. And the more you reason about it, the better it looks to you. But the system that is outside still tells you, no, no, you're missing something.
