It could also be induced through things like psychedelics and meditation.
But I think what's interesting when you look at what is happening when somebody has a very spiritual experience or when somebody is on a lot of psychedelics, what is happening is that there is
ego dissolution right it's like all of your narratives and understandings of who you are and what's important kind of unravel and loosen up quite a bit and so that creates an opening where you can kind of rebuild in in its place i think this is why psychedelic therapy is like really becoming hot right now because it does seem to be a way that you could potentially shortcut this a little bit and help people reach this place of like letting go of
their stories and their beliefs and their values relatively quickly and then helping guide them build something up in its place.
So yeah, those seem to be the three ways to induce quantum change.
Although still not reliably, I would say.
It's very unpredictable.
Two of them require an intense amount of pain.
And then the third requires either some sort of psychoactive chemical or like the fucking hand of God moving you.
So this is not exactly a repeatable process.
That we can like prescribe to people.
It's interesting because if you think about what is the evolutionary role of pain and suffering, it is to get you to change your behavior.
