+\chap Instructions for the Flyntian Modality
+
+\vfill
+
+\begitems\style n
+* Stop all \dq{gross believing,} such as belief in other minds, causality, and the phantom entities of science (atoms, electrons, etc).
+
+* Stop thinking in propositional language.
+
+* Stop all scientific hypothesizing. Do not consider your \dq{sightings} of the empire state building as confirmations that it is there when you are not looking at it---or for that matter, as confirmations that it is there when you \e{are} looking at it.
+
+* Stop organizing visual experiences and tactile experiences into object-gestalts. Stop organizing so-called \dq{different spatial orientations or different touched surfaces of objects} into object-gestalts. That is, stop having perceptions of objects.
+
+* Stop believing in past and future time. That is, live out of time. Stop feeling longing, dread, or regret.
+
+* Stop believing that you can move your body.
+
+* Stop believing that these instructions have any objective meaning.
+
+* You are now free to walk through walls (if you can find them).
