Meditate until you top level pattern matching code is not influencing your low level perception and new patterns are formed based on the true inputs.

This is very good advice. I think meditation allows you to reconnect with your lower level perceptions, both in terms of better understanding of past events and a better ability to remain calm and fully present in the midst of current events.

Sounds like a line edited out of the original Matrix ;)

Perhaps, but it's probably true. I don't know about other people, but I've been able to identify (at least I think I have been able to) some of the parts of my thought process that do pattern-matching through meditation.

It's a very strange experience, but wonderful (on multiple levels).
