The default mode network (DMN) acts as a mental filter, shrinking what we can see and feel, limiting our awareness of mystical experiences.
Meditation and psychedelics are two effective methods to decrease DMN activity, helping individuals unlock deeper clarity and fulfill perceptions.
Michael Pollan's findings show the surprising similarity between the brain scans of expert meditators and those undergoing psychedelic experiences, both featuring reduced DMN activity.
DMN engages during rest, overseeing self-referential thoughts, and filtering data which restrains mystical experiences, highlighting its role as the brain's gatekeeper.
