I love one lens on psychotheraphy, that lots of psychotherapeuts see their clients mechanistically and try to look for a mechanistic problem that needs to be solved according to predefined symbolic trees/ methodologies.

If you want stream entry another option is to induce a complex PTSD (that can be gathered overtime by experiencing tons of terrible shattering traumatic stuff) which results in your brain in splitting in two and get dissociation like this, which can feel like becoming giant third eye general overseeing octopus god (the second stage visual is perfectly fitting it) but then you have to clean all the related traumas from memories or overall dissonance but thats the form of dark night in that case - i think this was more of my case and meditation plus psychedelics was form of healing the dark night through even more deconstruction and transformation of traumatic structures using love and enptiness which still sometimes shows up when some unhealed parts come up from subconscious when doing dissolving internal unification for example and I work with it. I feel like phase shift of the organism's structure has to happen always by some kind of shock, let it be dissolution via (loving) doing nothing where your usual stable structures dissolve/transform from not enough stressing support or dissolution via intense shocking experience that shatters your usual stable structures and explodes them to infinity, in both cases you're more free from darwinian restrictions as your before you's evolutionary pretrained social etc. structures die and you get expansive general neural networks to construct your structures in. It seems to me without an intense evolutionary pressure for the system to shift into a different equilibrium state there will be not as much progress really made, you can hear Frank Yang tal kabout how he felt like literally (also physically) dying x times, I felt that too many times. By experiencing what you dont want the most also tends to expand the space of things in which you're not feeling resistance to the experience. As a result you get dark night where the organism's before software evaluating what is meaningful gets shattered or you get total permanent ego (concrete self model) dissolution/death full of disconnections or some other kind of traumatic structures from which organism dissociated from, or instead you get kundalini awakening ejaculating into the universe kind of stuff for some time as a result of releasing tons of repressed emotions/concepts/wants/goals/need for freedom from "cage" of your before stable structures that you didnt like and tried to escape from them happens. I often wonder how many meditators by default live in very unpleasant state and thats why they wanna dissociate from it and many succeed and overall result in even higher wellbeing (Shinzen Young having troubles with brownies, Frank Yang having manic BPD, all was shattered into noself tranquil flow state) when compared to normies that live in semipleasant state all the time feeling connected to the collective (via having community friend group with culture or accepting system's ideology/philosophy without constant desynchronization) without all the trauma or intense experiences (tho one can still argue about their baseline state, and also there is enormous diversity, i mean normies that report high degree of wellbeing being functioning in our social simulations) which may all be to first approximation reducible to the symmetry theory of valence applied to implementational harmonics/neural field theory or applied to bayesian belief network topology (with self, identities, others, environment, universe, assumptions, abstract concepts, everything else and their interconnectedness lives), where it would be constructed isolated rigid overfitted person having it worse than happy normies having it worse than really desontructed expansive noself state in permanent nondual flow where you get general playground for anything including easily entereing Jhanic structureless void beyond evolutionary pretrained software with efficient stress dissipation and metacognition over how your brain generates your thoughts, adaptive identities, emotions and overall models and experience, but here there might be a disadvantage of needed more metabolic/conscious energy to create local concrete nongeneral structures, and even there there might be giant diversity of baseline happiness depending on what kind of dissonance/asymmetry/disconnection generators structures might still be lurking in the conscious or subconscious. Or one form of dissociation can give you the ability to create governing structure turning off and on the various suffering generators. ==Towards a unified theory of consciousness with understanding happiness on all levels of analysis== ==Void, the unknown== When we disintegrate to the void, we see the deepest knowns in the unknown, we see in it the deepest most fundamental bayesian priors that construct our existence, our personality, our life narrative, our reality, such as birth, our initial interactions with the environment, our initial experiences with others, initial cultural, philosophical, spiritual, religious, ideological mental frameworks, initial paradigms of thought, ontologies, the best experiences of cosmic unity, psychological death, trauma, because unknowness is pure stochastic flow of information in the nervous system that doesn't get caught by any local classifiers so it gets caught by the widest deepest metapatterns stored in the nervous system that we then project onto the fundamental mysterious unknowness in us or the world or both or something third, that we project onto reality, onto existence. We can fear the unknown, see it in death, we can hate it, we can love it, see it in pure loving awareness, we can be neutral towards it. Those deepest bayesian priors are dynamical and be strenghtened, weakened aka fluidified, or altered aka transformed.
