So then, how can we we change? How can we get something new, that we know we're not (but we want to be), into reality, i.e. past the guard in the reptilian brain into the neocortex? We have to put the "wolf" in "sheep's clothing". How to do that? I'm aware of three ways to clothe the unknown so that it is acceptable. I'm sure there are more, but these are the one's I know:
1. in dreaming we can slip past the guard while it's not so alert.
2. intent, which for these purposes I'll define as "disguising something unknown as 'already is'".
3. is another version of intent - to change your definition of survival to include - to necessitate - change, i.e. not staying/remaining in one place. (To be fixed to any position is to open yourself to attack by predatory forces in the universe - a moving target is harder to hit.) If you feel with your whole being that living like a warrior is absolutely necessary for survival, it will slip by with/as the "fight or flight" response which is acceptable/conditioned to the reptilian brain/guard.
