The transcendent mental model

The Egoic and Transcendent Mental Models and Advanced Rationality
There is a standard egoic mental model of the ego-entity and the world, and a standard transcendent mental model. Changing from the egoic to the transcendent mental model requires a synchronized shift of the meaning of entire groups of concepts. The egoic conceptual system thrives in the world for a limited time, awaiting the right technologies to convert it to the transcendent model. The Enlightenment leads to enlightenment, the full development of reason and ego necessarily leads to ego-transcendent knowledge. The rational systematization of enlightenment propagates much faster than the non-rational, experiential approach. The combination of advanced reason and cognitive dissociation necessarily leads to the discovery of the rational and specific theory of ego-transcendent knowledge. Higher knowledge requires serious development of reason, not just dissociative cognition.
Many people have reported encountering these phenomena. The peak experience of ego death can be rationally explained,
whether or not its logic, perceptions, and hypotheses are valid. When these ideas are grasped vividly, they fit together to
dramatically transform one's mental model of personal control-agency, disrupting the feeling and logic of being an autonomous, controlling entity who wields power while moving through time.
