Some way to practice/explore the philosophy I mean

Other than logic, the only exercises would be actually understanding the concepts offered. Try to think of objections to them, and how theyy woyld be recieved by the author. Try to think of examples in life, reword the concepts yourself.

Flip through some tai chi or qi gong books, seriously

Ouspensky's The Fourth Way, and his In Search of the Miraculous (Ouspensky pretty obviously and significantly influenced RAW btw) contain general and important exercises in the Gurdjieff system RAW mentions (in terms of self-remembering, self-observation, and abstaining from expressing negative emotions). Idries Shah in a sense also has philosophy books containing exercises, because he says that reading the Sufi teaching-stories he gives and pondering them from all given angles, focusing on the ones the interest you less purposely and seeing why they don't interest you as much, trying to unravel the more opaque ones, etc., etc., is itself a Sufi exercise.

These are internal arts. You're going to want to take classes.

In the same vein as PR, try Undoing Yourself with Energised Meditation and Other Devices. It's on another level entirely. If you like Wilson, Hyatt is fucking awesome.

You could also try The Eight-Circuit Brain, which is also very good but a lot more dry.

I'm not quite in a position to do this. I don't mind feeling out the intuition and seeing what happens with some studying until this changes.

Thank you both

>all those exercises to subscribe to contrary ideologies to make you realize reality-tunnels and you already managed to jump between radical leftism, nihilism, nationalism, libertarianism, atheism theism, gnosticism and being a hippie just in the last year

I think I got that
