When the self center hub dissolves, but there is no ocean efficient at stress dissipation of sensations to be effortlessly floating in. So you end up with dense ground with some processes instead. With much less flow of neural activity, its like you literally died, being a rigid disconnected void. Being a rigid metal ground with nothing really happening, or some things happening in their own place, but lonely, depressive or anxious, full of error signals. When the density gets dissolved into fluidity and things just weee by themself and effortless joyous activity happens lightly in this depth, you enter the state of free flowing ocean without effort. Neural annealing activities, interconnecting constructive meditation of love, oneness, beauty, wholeness, mandala, kindness to the rescue! Learning to love and accept all that is will result in lightening, fluidifying, floatifying, easifying, undensefying, unrigidityfying, smoothening, interconnecting everything without judgement. Love is a trainable skill! Muscle of the brain. Tune into, live from the most fundamental bayesian prior, notice the stillness of the "there is existence" prior and nothing can destroy in nonextreme states of consciousness, everything else you don't need you can let go off and be in peace. Nothing needs to be guarded. We won't physically die when we let go off of everything. All thoughts, all emotions, all personality, sense of doing anything, is just dissolved into soft gentle golden light present everywhere but at the same time a single point of it is glowing incredibly brightly in the center of your being, single point of light glowing in the vast space of awareness, this light is pristine, perfect, beautiful, kind, loving, caring, wise, clear, filled with life energy, playfullness, spontaneity. Be with that light now, be that light. Even that light itself is in some ways empty, but there, just like thoughts and feeling are empty, but there, personality, body is empty, but there, time and space, the world around you, people are empty but there. Real sense of connectedness with everything, no boundary between us and anything else.

See the emptiness (dreamlikeness) and dissolve global fundamental stabilizing stuctural energy sinks behind everything that form the sense of ground in experience by classifying and freeying them by for example nociting global relaxation and their spacious lightness - sense of doer, attention, watcher, self and other distinction, time, space, boundary, center, coordinates, background, knowing, local and global being, truths, ontology, somethingness, perception, nonperception, neither perception nor not perception, trancending the transcendence itself, any "fundamental" classifications, dissolve any logic, any distinctions, any structures in general. Destabilizing any codependently mutually (self)stabilizing clusters of symbolic or intuitive processes by raw not knowing and looking without concepts by generating stochasticity. After this deconstruction into unified stochastic void when everything starts reconstructing, throw in infinite love, kindness, caring, connectedness, healing, light, meaningfulness, protecting, cherishing, safety, comfort, smoothness for all mental objects that emerge in any reconstructed emerged dual category by imagining a deity of compassion radiating wisdom, love, kindness, caring in all directions, merging with her, helping infinite beings using infinite limbs relieve their suffering and feel the best poisitive valence experience they have the potential to feel full of inifinite love and wellbeing, including you as you are a being too, she, aka you, has love for totally every being. <references/> ====Neural Annealing in practice==== You can energize (reinforce) mental objects by directing attentional arrow to it, by it being aligned with valence gradient (aethetics, resolving basic needs), sensory data (what aligns with "reality" or imagined expectations is reinforced), surprise (prediction error adds entropic activity to fix prediction errors to tune models by finding policies to edit internal models or act on the world), you can also modify (transform) it into a more consonant symmetrical shape, you can energize it so much that its dissolves by overwhelming, you can weaken attentional resources (forces) by globalizing them (attention to background stillness, vastness, silentness, boundarylessness, centerlessness, infinityness,...) resulting in global smoothening as local topological shapes in the neural tissue through global acticity gets more coarsegrained, more smoothened, more redistributed, and you can also avoid mental objects. Any neural operator (psychotool or a substance) that symmetrifies neurophenomenology tends to also increase energy, probably because of disintegration of energy sinks so unsinked energy flows randomly with much less attracting forces, which might lead to seeing visuals as well. Energy sink can act as a neural classifier taking sensory data as input and outputing other thoughts or actions. Low energy depression seems to be damping energy through no learned agency. (hopelessness isnt learned, its that no agency is learned [Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers]([Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers]([Helplessness Is Not Learned - Neurofrontiers](https://neurofrontiers.blog/helplessness-is-not-learned/))) ) Which might be seen as no sensory patters cascading into possible actions, no dopaminogentic motivation. Symmetrical representations can create global cascade of activation of neural representations from just one through more interconnected neural topology (meditation and psychedelics increase that). We can damp energy by getting into gettign stuck into some one solid mental object. One can collapse from deconstructed entropic state back into some highly specialized context to concetrate all that free computational power into one task and use it all there, its asymmetry (high overfitted specialization) can damp overall energy. More trust, more bayesian prior, aethetics, goal synchronization, leads to more efficient belief transmission, more efficient updating of maladaptive priors. Ideal psychotherapheutic setting definitely depends on the cultural aethetics of the client - some people are raised religious, some secular, some think more in mechanistic terms, some think more in fantasy narratives and so on. Songs are definitely also subjective to high degree as they active consonant memories through context dependant associations leading to good transformative trips.
