Metacognitive knowledge (“knowing that thoughts are not necessarily always accurate”) is commonplace factual knowledge. Metacognitive insight (“experiencing thoughts as events in the field of awareness, rather than as direct readouts on reality”) is uncommon, direct experiential awareness, cultivated in Mindfulness practice, that profoundly changes our relationship to experience.
