Personal approaches, our favorite fantasy

Federico suggests letting go of judgments and simply acknowledging, "I am here." This resonates with the experience of presence, which emphasizes non-judgmental awareness of the present moment.
Recognizing the present moment without labels or judgments helps in understanding the transient nature of thoughts and emotions, fostering a deeper connection with Our Self.
The expression that "it's already too late not to be here" highlights the inevitability of our current state. Denying this reality creates resistance. This resistance is NOT a metaphysical experience based on psychological concepts. It is the nature of our nervous system to enter the threat response cycle (TRC) when exposed to novelty that it considers to be potentially threatening.
Federico further emphasizes the experience of thoughts as mere mental activities, not genuine reflections of reality, calling them the "confusion machine."
This understanding is crucial for recognizing the illusory nature of so-called "thoughts" and the false sense of self that arises from these.
By viewing thoughts as mere mental activities, individuals can distance themselves from these distortions. This detachment is a key component of many mindfulness practices, which encourage practitioners to observe their thoughts without getting entangled in them. Neurobiologically, this can lead to decreased activity in the default mode network (DMN) of the brain, which is active when the mind is wandering and engaged in self-referential thinking. Reducing DMN activity can promote a sense of presence and reduce the stress response.
