We need a trick to prevent the instinct from protecting me. In this case, self-defense is not appropriate. I do not want the system to protect me because it is holding me back from entering the cosmic dimension. I would suggest exploring the possibilities of passion. Action means doing, passion means letting.
Passion is the passivity of the emotio-intellectual system.
Passion enables us to let go of our sense of importance. The notion of passion is somewhat complex and needs to be developed much further. But even at this stage, one can already see that it is necessary to bypass the self-defense system, so that it won't try to protect my boundaries. The collapse of my boundaries also means the breakdown of intellectual fences and emotional walls. So, there certainly is a path from dialogue through proprioception, self-awareness and passion towards freedom.
