thalamocortical loop
the pineal gland is the seat of awareness and the thalamus is the ego. The amygdala is the ghost in the machine they trigger to keep u in fear and in fight or flight so u remain disconnected to all of your power in the present moment and your mind stays on replay of the future worries (not here yet can change the course at any moment u decide to) or past worries but they will do anything to keep you away from the now. meditation doesnt work bc amygdala says fuck u.
