A meditation, not a trick. You will try to hold two rooms in awareness at the same time — not side-by-side, not flipping back and forth, but actually seen at once. The only way that could work is if you split your consciousness into two observers. Sit with the attempt. Whether or not it succeeds, the attempt itself is the practice.
The core practice of Existism. Use it the next time you catch yourself sure that you're right and someone else is wrong. It is uncomfortable on purpose.
Before you label something, it sits as possibility. The label collapses it into one specific thing. This exercise lets you watch yourself collapse a wave in real time.
From the chapter on Feeling. Use this the next time a difficult emotion shows up — anxiety, anger, panic, grief. It's a single move, repeated until it becomes your default.
