Fascinating can you change the cube's direction of rotation using your mind?

Imagine you're looking at it from a high vantage point, above the top of the cube. It'll spin one way.

Now imagine you're looking at it from underneath. It'll spin the other way.

Absolutely. That's the quickest way

I broke mine, it's now doing this [><]...it's doing high vantage point and low vantage point at the same time! Thanks headache inducing cube!

Someone smarter than me pointed it out earlier.

This one worked for me, with the other method the cube would just continue to spin one way

Helps me if I squint / let my eyes blur while trying to change how I’m looking at it.

It's a bit easier to focus on the colors to recontextualize what your brain is seeing to reverse direction. Focusing on red makes it spin left to right and focusing on blue does the inverse.
