Like i said, can you play the role? I don't claim to know, I just claim you don't either, as you don't seem to be open to anything outside your own bias here.

Does marking all the check boxes mean it is transcognitive? Or does it mean it checks those boxes? Might wanna read the fine print and not just the first few words to each paragraph...

Is that what you call Transcognition??? Isn't that just a sort of trinity perspective??? " thinking beyond one's own cognitive processes and incorporating knowledge and perspectives from diverse sources and contexts. " "understanding of the interconnectedness of different systems and the ability to think creatively and flexibly across multiple domains" "An effort to learn about different fields of study, cultures, and perspectives. Read widely, watch documentaries, and engage in conversations with people from diverse background" "interdisciplinary learning opportunities and engage in conversations with experts from different fields" "open to changing your views based on new evidence" I'll play Devil's Advocate and say you don't get it. Can you play the role of "not getting it" , even if you do? That's transcognitive.

I used to take perspectives I totally disagreed with a lot, and use them as my own, often being a devil's advocate for a position that is not my own Like I decided to try being an asshole for a while as an experiment until I ran that experiment into the ground understanding it's strengths and weaknesses and adjusting my own strategy towards what was natural for me (giving up the asshole strategy altogether , despite obvious advantages it had) Finding a role model of a behavior , or line of thought, and mimic it , embody it , become it , as an experiment , until you fully understand it from living as it for a while Not falling into it and getting lost in it, always remember it's a hat to wear and take it off when you are done learning from the experiment... I've ran experiments like this for years , various ones simultaneously, changing hats in a flexible manner depending on my curiosity. Like shapeshifting with the mind, to assume yourself as another person, and testing the boundaries/limitations of their way of thinking/being as if it were your own, and seeing what the responses are from others... Like let's say I was curious about Donald Trump supporters , so I put on a MAGA hat and memorize the lines and act of a Trumpian , and seeing how far it gets me , how the world reacts , what are the arguments against it , how well do the shoes fit, and then taking off the hat when I'm done with the experiment ... These experiments can run briefly or for years Let me add : if what I was doing is not transcognition , THATS OKAY. The real problem I've had is playing the roles of others' perspectives and having so much backlash because people have no idea how flexible I can change positions, so it often would come down to their position vs the position I was mimicking , and they in-turn come to loathe me as if I was the person I was mimicking and couldn't just take the hat off at any time.... and that, is the experience I'm trying to understand, it's just I found Transcognition to be the first time I've heard my experiences described in a way that matches a term... If there is a better term ,let me know... I do , however, think that having a diverse perspective from learning many viewpoints, is not the same as changing perspectives as an experimental playground. So like in your case, it would be like tooling your friends as a critic that everything they think is wrong and arguing to death with them , for fun... But often people come to associate your designated viewpoint as "you" and not realizing it's just a hat you are trying on for curiosity's sake. For me ,it was a matter of , let's assume I've integrated all this diversity of perspective with my friends , and we can predict how that pattern unfolds , so as an experiment , running the opposite course , and seeing how that pattern works out , and comparing both paths. This is kinda how I got into philosophy years ago... okay well what if religion doesn't have all the answers , let's try science , okay what if science doesn't have all the answers , let's try Tolle, eventually mapping out the interconnectedness of the entire web of complexity to find the underlying fundamental truths and since then, I've tried out enough of what doesn't work to refine the stuff that doesn't work... Like those conspiracy theorists with all the lines drawn across a board connecting various points , and being like well dayum! Why are there so many threads connecting to Meditation?! Surely this is something that is like the golden ticket!!! And using transcognition as that means of reverse engineering the fundamental truths I suppose you could say... (And thank you for sharing!)

Ok know-it-all... Provide examples of how you apply Transcognition I am just curious to learn about how to relate experiences which have seemed to slipped under the radar. It reminds me of when I first discovered personality types and was digging into socionics discovering things that I really resonated with from my own experiences that I had never had words to describe before... That's how I felt reading about Transcognition.. Seriously all, this is not an ego show. We are all one, right?

I don't believe you and I are on the same page as to what Transcognition is... How have you applied transcognitive thinking in your own life? Let's compare notes. And for the record , this is not a research into Awakening... This is a research into higher-order thinking skills... Basically I'm more-or-less reverse engineering tier 2 SDi

I use the Emwave2 EEG biofeedback device to calibrate my state... It's really just simple hacking of breath control (4-7-8 works most consistently for me) combined with feeling positive (grateful) to flip on the parasympathetic nervous system switch. You can do it without the device though , go pull up a 4-7-8 breathing video and "feel grateful" as you focus on the breath movements and stillness during the hold... (Alternatively 6-6 works and is what the the tool recommends) You can notice it happen, whenever you feel the shift towards being able to breathe deeply-easily. (PROTIP : analyzing , fluttering mind, and "trying" like mental effort , all tend to result in negative sympathetic state (fight-or-flight) If you breathe in for 6 seconds , and it feels like you are getting full by 4 or 5 seconds , you are in sympathetic (from my experience) when you feel your middle abdomen area loosen up and feels like your lungs are suddenly able to hold a bigger capacity easy, that's the parasympathetic state... Also you can run an audit on yourself like "how do I feel" and if you have a complaint ,like "I feel tired" "this is bad" "I'm ready to be done" or something , that's sympathetic... And if your mental attitude is like "this is easy" "I feel good" "I could do this all day" that's parasympathetic...(There is also a neutral state, where you answer like "I'm fine" "I'm okay", though I'm not sure if that is specifically the symp. or parasymp) Thats just stuff I've learned from using the device to monitor myself in real-time and noticing this stuff over many practice sessions

@Swarnim This isn't about whether one is further than the other... This is about finding transcognitive thinkers like myself. (ChatGPT said it , not me) The premise that got me there was asking ChatGPT what's beyond metacognition,and when I read the definition of Transcognition , it hit me like a sudden revelation and shot my anxiety through the roof... Really got me in a frantic state now... So I'm looking for others that share this transcognitive way of using their mind, because I've been scarred countless times by how people that can't handle it get their pitchforks out when you play around loosely with this cognitive ability. Seriously , I have no fucking idea where to find others with this... It's largely unheard of it seems... Much less communities around it....

So I've been doing this for a while, and I've gotten used to it... But here's the thing. I used to be really bad about sponging up content and being hyper-sharing with friends. Now I don't have friends, but I have somebody I am impulsively reaching towards 5-10 minutes in videos like "oh this would be cool to share with that person" I'm afraid as I start getting friends again, I won't have fixed the underlying issue. I realize it's like a dopamine attention-seeking behavior. But the impulse that is like automatically projecting my interest onto others , I think it's related to being an extrovert. When I was growing up, I gained a lot of popularity showing off impressing people , helping everybody ace their homework, cut class, be the hype guy getting parties started, and being a psych wizard playing therapist for everybody... And I actually benefitted a lot from it , because it was like a playground for me to explore (like randomly discussing psychology with everybody and learning what doesn't work and what does work through interacting with others and reflecting on it rinse repeat) Like no matter how much time I spend alone, it's like a dog when you bring food around , people just suck my attention away from my own personal focus to having a shared-worldspace where I'm trying to learn/grow with "friends" by bouncing stuff off then all the time... It's just an annoying behavior I keep realizing it's like a subconscious trigger , and I want to address what keeps triggering it... Surely it's not just a dopamine-seeking reaction, but idk Thanks!

I am actually coming out of a rut and I've noticed I won't even turn on Alan Watts which would be my go-to for comfort listening... So what I've noticed for me , is that this is like a trauma-PTSD thing , and I found some sauce listening to PsychoCybernetics (idea of Self-Image) Basically from what I've gathered , is that you are under a hypnosis based on these neurons wired together , that your beliefs and memories about this stuff is triggering negative emotion... Hopefully didn't fuck that explanation too badly... So you have to change the way you think and the way your Self-Image is , and beliefs about the future (that it's not based on the past, but created by your choices) I have also noticed only partial progress (I started having a breakthrough less than 24 hours ago) but it seems to feel to me that there is an invisible barrier between you and philosophy and spirituality , but that invisible barrier is just subconscious fear... It's like learning to swim, you are afraid of the water , the deep unknown, and then you jump in, and it's like, wait a sec, what was I scared of??? (Or like when you don't wanna do something and keep resisting it (and what we resist, persists) and you finally do it and it's like "wow I thought that was gonna be bad but that was easy!" Check out Leo's Self-Image video though https://youtu.be/UTjcsXnxPBQ

I get that subjectively everything is consciousness... but if the cosmos is all consciousness itself, then how did consciousness create itself? I follow a lot of this deeper shit, but the part like What is this? still gets me... It just seems like some quantum energy divided by zero and created a Big Bang, and theres these half dozen or so quantum fields that are the fabric of the cosmos, and every particle is just single strands on the threads , and these fields are all what unite us as one , like gravity is a field that unites us. And somehow the fields have become conscious of itself - emergence or something and somehow the future can predict the past in certain quantum experiments So i just dont get how to combine the Newtonian and Quantum Physics side with a sort of Universe = Consciousness sort of idea... how is the sun conscious? -Be open-minded Much Love- Kory

What kind of things could make somebody naturally process things like in a backwards / reverse / inverse way? I've seen the right brain seems to work around a point...also there is Neurodivergence (of Autism) and also there is Jung's Extraverted Intuition function that is like 'bouncing off the walls' energetically in your brain Idk what it is, I used to confuse my classmates how I did my math like all over the place , nonlinear I suppose... I often read from the bottom going up... I got the even crazier thing which I suppose could be a combo,, where like I accidentally seem to like merge my identity into the mutual relationship , but that could be like a personality disorder I just do this totally naturally like opposite processing , and working backwards is why I went into philosophy even, dwelling on old age a lot... Can anyone share anyyyy fuckinn info - cuz this has gotta be one of those more secretive experiences we share in some way... -Much Love Friends Kory

I'm a big extrovert, love talking to people. Well I'm alone, and I'm like maan I wanna find people.. at the same time, I saved like 8 videos to my Watch Later of dope ass philosophy/personal development videos... I don't enjoy my own company really... I have constructed a self-relationship, although sometimes I forget it exists... I'll play music and want somebody to enjoy it with me... And I'll even sing and enjoy that vibe with myself, but it's like processed hamburger to fresh-cow hamburger , like an imitation I try to enjoy as much as the real thing. I don't feel a thrilling excitement to go learn everything just to learn everything, but I can absorb lots of dense content if I'm looking forward to sharing it with others... I've been trying to lean into like adopting Solipsism even though I don't really believe in it... Like pretending I'm the only conscious person that exists is how I fixate on exclusively my own life. Nurturing the self-relationship like I would an intimate relationship with other seems to alleviate loneliness and depression. But I just get like bored and think "who do I talk to" and I keep doing this. It's not like "I'm so glad to have this extra time to myself"... Usually it's like "I'm alone and other people are not going to make me happy and I need to avoid validation-seeking , so I better just be appreciate this time to myself".... It's like I'm naturally eager to seek others out, and it's reluctance to accept being alone. Also, mention if you are an introvert or extrovert. Jealous of introverts, but would love to hear thoughts from both types.

Like list out the worldviews , and add categories for like maybe "key principle" , "practice technique" idk (few examples on Google images of worldview charts) Would be super cool to have a list I can refer back to and see each one altogether

Sorry I'm brain-drained and just gonna share something that helped me... HealthyGamerGG on YouTube has a video about suicide... Understanding how it is a feeling of worthlessness and like it's impossible to get your life together, and you are just a burden to others , and that seems to me to be basically what suicidal tendency is. Idk why, but I get suicidal ideation, but I feel incongruent to really believe I would... There are times when I wasn't sure, but mostly I'm like I know I am thinking about killing myself... But I couldn't imagine the sad part of being like "goodbye cruel world" and taking my life ... Idk... I think it's something with Narcissism or anger issues towards people... But if I'm gonna kill myself, I ain't going down quietly... Like if you are gonna really do it, at least know I love everybody as human family and your suffering brings me pain as well and I wish I was better to help... But speaking brother to brother here, at least take a dirty politician with you. I mean if you take Tucker Carlson with you, I'll make sure your name lives on as a glorious hero. Just sayin... Leo has a video "it's all a mind-game" and suicidal thinking is just a mind-game... Everybody gets suicidal ideation, like driving their car off the road, it's the planning you gotta watch out for. And biggest thing, YOU CAN NOT ASK TOO MUCH FOR HELP. Not everybody will help you, but the right people will, and people don't know you need help if you don't ask. It's not a burden to ask for help, they can just say No... People WANT to help, they get dopamine highs off helping... The depression will make you not want to talk to people... You are a good guy that was dealt a bad hand dude... Suicide rates are rising due to life conditions growing harder. It's all just feelings and thoughts, and these things are like weather... Don't change your life because of some thunderstorms... There will be beautiful days ahead of you, just keep your head up bro

There are definitely kool-aid drinkers among us... But Actualized is not a cult... It's just cult-like with actual people that follow it like a cultist does. My pet peeve is these cultists that get on here answering every question like "You are God having a consciousness experience, we are all one" but they are arm-chair spiritualists that live with their parents smoking weed doing nothing to self-actualize/ get results in their life. The universal answer is not the only answer to every question!!!!!!! REEEEEEEE!!!

Owen Cook just put out a brand new free course , check a latest YouTube video for his Higher Purpose program, looks like 30-40 9 min vids structured in order Don't fall for the trap of letting your parents keep you there. You will be lazy and not really motivated, cuz they are providing for you. Start hitting the gym , helps build that fire up... Check out Wim Hof breathing on YouTube , super powerful technique for really getting that inner fire going Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory channel.. He put out several videos around Spring that were like "get your shit together" kind of topics Escaping Ordinary channel The App called Optimize (it has every category for personal development and sooo many books condensed to 10 min videos) Get around people that are autonomous and emulate them ... Be sure to read a few books on money/wealth , get an understanding of how things basically work

80% action , 20% theory Use a journal and track your progress... You will see patterns quickly across 4 short entries Look for mentor at the level above you. Accountability - tell your friend $20 for each day you fail Might search out barriers to next levels , sticking points common to your level. Challenge yourself and have fun! Aka Flow States S.M.A.R.T daily goal setting Practice teaching it, when you can teach it like to a 5 yr old, u really got it. And definitely shift your self-image to see yourself as the person you mean to be 100% commitment , not 99% Pump your emotional state 10/10 , like jump around cheering like your team won the tournament and your dream girl said yes to marrying and get that dopamine jacked up to max, peak emotional state (emotion = motion) Go to sleep and remember your day as if everything you wished for had come true , like instead of imagining your perfect day, remember it as if you experienced it earlier in the day Various techniques , don't overload yourself, (general rule of thumb is 2 habits per 30 days or so)

Hi, I am trying to find people at the higher stages of perspective (like Spiral Dynamics) and philosophy-centric community.. This community here seems warped to me, and there is no reason not to have alternatives. I have been looking for philosophy discussion forums, discords, local stuff, social apps... Or finding other gurus like Leo and their communities (ex: Brian Johnson, Tom Bilyeu) although I don't see open conversation happening really. Also like Facebook groups (Spiral Dynamics / Personal Development groups) although I detest Facebook... Reddit is really a curated content site so not really the best idea for small-guy discussions (which are more about our lives than bigger ideas sometimes) Have any of you looked into this and wouldn't mind sharing what you have come across? Honestly im lost... And I'm looking for people of similar development/ideas... But they all seem to leave more to be desired. Like this community also has restrictions so you are limited in how much you can respond, it just doesn't seem to facilitate any personal connection/relationship-building so it's like having your hands tied imo. Any suggestions, what other ways to itch that scratch of looking for similar-minded people for growing and developing ourselves through peer-to-peer support??

Im tailoring a little crash course for my friends to get caught up with this stuff, like "if you only have 1 hour a week to learn everything you need to know to get started, whats your first month look like?" Im working on being a life-coach and want my friends to get the most powerful content in shortest amount of time... So far here is what I have... (In no particular order) Leo's "Big Picture of Self-Actualization" https://youtu.be/JGw8IoqBt-c David Hawkins Theories Explained (Part 1 and Part 2) (im just going to link Part 1, but Part 2 excellent as well!) Another amazing amazing AMAZINNGG video, Joe Dispenza on Bilyeu's show for the ELI5 'what is my brain doing and how does it work" Then this one is more on the inspirational/provoking curiosity one , to lead people into actually *doing* the Wim Hof method. Simply put "Wim Hof method is a Cheat Code for giving me Super Powers" - **Couldn't Agree More!!** Like I said, I am trying to get my friends (and later on, clients) hooked into this stuff by showing them THE BEST content for making it simple enough they can digest. *Planting the highest-quality seeds to a Fully Actualized Life* Later on, Ill look to supplement in technique breakdowns and such, but its like "If I have *one* opportunity to blow somebodys mind outta the water, what would I show them?" Now the question is, What would *you* recommend to blow somebodys mind with a crash course to get them hooked... ?? (consider presentation and how ADHD everybody is and keeping it short and sweet as possible, down to under 1 hour in a single setting to leave a profound impact)

How many of yall are off your asses actually walking the walk like getting results ?? Are you hitting the gym?? Are you making 6-figure income?? Do you have a smoking hot sex life?? What are you doing besides preaching out your asses?? Arm-chair gurus , its time to be called out. Im not saying there isnt truth to it... im saying its one-dimensional naive laziness , being over-indulgent to "go-with-the-flow" while living in your parents basements. Seriously. What actual real results are you getting in life? Look at people like Elon Musk *actually* doing something and tell me how you measure up in terms of concrete success. Much love -Kory

Naysayers What does Self-Actualization mean to you????

I do. Thats why im here trying to help you. If you arent living life to your fullest potential to make your dreams come true... then you are doing it wrong. Im not a sugar coater. Im brutally honest. Much love -Kory

Bullshit 100% ive been sucked into that trap. Just being real with you, its a trap. Ask any serious professional like Leo. Leo takes a lottt of action, you are being delusional.

Weed fucks up flow states for me. 4-7-8 breathing works for me, with gratitude mindset , and "this is effortless" mindset Flow and Psychology of Optimal Happiness was hella good book, combined with Dave Aspreys tips on EmWave2 biofeedback tech i use. Much love -Kory
