***致幻药一集特别在点***
I.MEMORY
Meditation-Focus-Memory
Hippocampus - the one which sews all pieces of information together to form an episodic memory (eg. A performing experience)
Memories are connected to
Emotion
Place
Story ( brain pays much more attention when information is in the form of Narratives.)
They are foundations of some of our strongest memories.
“In general we are more like emotional and visual learners, and story tellers.”
Memories are more like a live performance, created with inputs from different parts of the brain in the present moment.
过去和未来是联系在一起的，past—拼凑 模拟 预见-future
It weaves memories of the past and dreams of the future. Sense of self is thus created.
II. DREAM
REM sleep helps us remember (by repeating the same pattern) and forget (by erasing unnecessary things)
强化记忆：each night the pattern gets looser, and the next day it gets more tightened up.
Selective forgetfulness 选择性遗忘
Creative Power of dreams:
Creativity is nothing more than taking information we already have and seeing how it fixed together in a new exciting way.
IV.PSYCHEDELICS
Meditation is the tried and true course to investigation of nature of mind, and psychedelics is the CRASH COURSE.
迷幻药可以让意识延伸，超越自我。当你的自我小时候，你与更广大的事物融为一体。
Intention : maximize these experiences. (eg. Only if you want to quit smoking that they can help you further achieve this goal.)
The experiences depend largely on
SET: your MINDSET, MOOD and EXPECTATIONS
SETTING: your environment, place where you are and people you are with.\
Guided trip:
关窗，耳机，眼罩-turn the intuition INWARD
思考：
How to make this PART of YOU, rather than just experience?
Write everything down, to solidify the experiences in you.
TRIP时大脑在干什么：平时不互动的区域开始对话，建立更多、更活跃的、新的连接
A potential to rewire and make new connections. That’s possibly why these effects are so enduring.
改变固有的 不断被加固的 单一思维定式（如同滑雪道），致幻药让你的大脑下一场新雪，你可以重新自由在上面滑出新的轨道。
Depression and Anxiety are like Addictions
You get stuck in loops of thought, get stuck on narratives of who you are.
大脑容易陷入过去和未来的循环路径中，打造狭隘的自我认知。“默认模式”
抑郁时，这样的循环加重；裸盖菇素有助于打散该循环，消解“自我”。
自我消失后，你对人们所持有的看法或许也会消失。
“That (death exp) was sort of power because I made the choice not to let it affect me. I’ve been different ever since, in a good way.”
