I do think there is plenty of room for individual growth/transformation
in one lifetime and perhaps Psi research will (continue to) provide
yet-more tools for facilitating that.
It isn't clear to me that merely loosening up neural pathways so that
they can be re-created yields healthy growth as such. I'd like to
think it can be, but as the neo-luddite that I tend toward, I can't help
but seeing the myriad ways it can go wrong as well. This negative
ideation is probably a self-referential example of the topic itself.
Following RECs original subject: I'm interested I suppose in
understanding more-better the myriad scales and dimensions of adaptivity
of "Life Itself", with the human (individual as well as cultural)
experience being the one most relevant to my own life, but not exclusively.
