We grow up seeing the brain as another body part, another thing in the world. The brain is not a part of the world. It is the generator of the world.

There are simple ways to get at this. Perhaps the clearest most experiential door are psychadelics, which carry their own dangers.

But there is a difference between cognitively understanding and internalizing it. I cannot internalize it forever. I can only internalize it in brief glimpses.

But when you see the brain as the world generator, it is clear that the brain is the source of our reality. If we can push the right buttons in the brain, we can change reality.
