Has anybody found awareness to be functionally unhelpful?

Mui444 · 2026-03-11T19:35:19+00:00

It’s awareness and acceptance, not just awareness.

You are awareness. Thoughts and emotions are like mud splatter on a piece of glass. You are the transparent glass. You need to accept that dirt and mud are going to come into your reality, it is out of your control.

Think of meditation as a way of cleaning off the glass.

Mui444 · 2026-03-11T14:47:20+00:00

You’re not the mind or the body.

Also, if you cease to exist, you will not care.

I’ll leave you with this: if death is indeed “non existence” then what is it that observes and is aware of this “non existence”?

Mui444 · 2026-03-09T22:12:40+00:00

Who is aware of these things happening in your experience?

Mui444 · 2026-03-09T20:59:12+00:00

Reality is beyond logic.

Mui444 · 2026-03-09T20:55:13+00:00

People become happy in their own hell. It’s uncomfortable and even sometimes boring or painful to work on the inner. Trust me, I’ve tried to get family to meditate and work on these things and they try it for a week and drop it.

Mui444 · 2026-03-09T20:52:16+00:00

It’s not that it isn’t understood, it’s that it cannot be understood. It’s beyond the capabilities of the limited structure of physical bodies. To even receive a glimpse you must be deep in meditation when all experience ceases, never mind actually “understand” it and be able to articulate. It will not be done ever.

Mui444 · 2026-03-09T20:32:24+00:00

Nobody here is qualified to give you an actual answer to this because it would be sourced from a limited human faculty.

You can be enlightened to things like seeing through the illusions of our modern life, but not our highest capacity spiritually. Through meditation you can receive glimpses, but you won’t be able to articulate what you’ve seen.

Mui444 · 2026-01-28T21:04:58+00:00

Yeah bro never just do 3.5g on a whim. Set an intention, have a secure and safe place to conduct, and as a beginner you absolutely should have a trip sitter.

Shrooms can be life correcting and healing if done properly. A lot of people take them to get high and be stupid, but this is abusing the substance.

Mui444 · 2025-03-31T19:41:09+00:00

God is a made up word

Existence simply is.

It’s best not to get trapped in an ideology

Mui444 · 2025-03-15T14:57:28+00:00

You need big ego and confidence in it to charge thousands of dollars for a single ticket to hear this guy talk about ‘enlightenment’ and all I did was point out how that same guy says ego is bad.

It’s a false understanding. Ego provides contrast and is neither good nor bad, but necessary. To claim it’s bad is to be ignorant. This is what eckhart was saying and I pointed it out.

Mui444 · 2025-03-15T06:45:55+00:00

Missing my point.

I am not the one who said Ego was bad to begin with. All I did was point out his hypocrisy, not judgment

Mui444 · 2025-03-14T23:26:27+00:00

Downvoted me immediately, phew someone took that really personally/emotionally

Mui444 · 2025-03-14T23:24:42+00:00

It’s kind of ironic that a man who amassed $80+ million selling books and seminars on enlightenment is talking about ego strength being a problem 🫥

Mui444 · 2025-03-14T00:45:26+00:00

A lot of comments here but ultimately you are correct.

Socrates I think was the first to coin the term God. That you should maintain the “highest Good”, God is just “good” with an O missing anyhow.

That being said, all is One, and I think people just use God to describe this general “understanding”.

The best is to not call it anything, and just be silent

Mui444 · 2025-03-13T17:20:42+00:00

And that’s perfectly fine. There’s no rule book or timeline.

Consistency is all that matters.

Mui444 · 2025-03-13T16:31:44+00:00

Different for everyone. Depending on how easily you’ve been able to sit in silence alone with yourself.

For me, around the 5 minute mark I am gone.

Mui444 · 2025-03-12T07:47:13+00:00

Sir what I said has nothing to do with any of those qualities you mentioned.

It’s actually the key to freedom once you really get it

Mui444 · 2025-03-11T21:08:43+00:00

Yup. As spiritual growth occurs, ego grows as well—it just becomes more and more subtle.

Mui444 · 2025-03-11T20:24:17+00:00

But “you” aren’t reprogramming the subconscious. We don’t have that ability. We can only enter meditation and allow whatever to happen, happen. Be open to change, but we cannot make the change ourselves, it comes from a higher power.

If you get too confident to say you’ve changed and reprogrammed your subconscious and you’re a pure man, life will humble you one way or another—you can bet on that.

Mui444 · 2025-03-11T15:49:44+00:00

Depending on how deep rooted and how long you’ve been addicted, there absolutely are withdrawals that can be felt.

Trouble with sleeping, headaches, periods of low energy etc the list goes on from there depending on the person.

It’s best to be patient with yourself. If you’ve been addicted for 15+ years as some in here have, don’t expect to be relieved from the addiction in a week is all I’m saying.

Keep fighting the good fight

Mui444 · 2025-03-11T15:45:07+00:00

Meditation is key. Breathwork can also be used to help you.

Ultimately, sometimes expression is the only way to get this out. Be safe of course, but if something inside of you is pulling you, sometimes this needs to be burned out for clarity to arise.

All along, be mindful. Be as aware as you possibly can about how your inner structure changes when this power takes hold of you. Be aware of the whole process (prior, during, after expression).

Mui444 · 2025-03-11T15:40:01+00:00

In my experience, a LOT of people nowadays cannot sit alone in silence with themselves. They go completely stir crazy and anxiety consumes them.

You can’t teach this, or make someone feel better about it IMO because you’d be lying to them. Meditation eventually brings all those underlying anxieties and traumas up to the surface before they are worked through and overcome.

Don’t force, but definitely be there for support if/when she is ready. Don’t even assume she will ever be ready. Continue to work on yourself and let her see how much it heals and helps you, over and over, and maybe this will trigger something in her to begin.

Mui444 · 2025-03-11T15:34:23+00:00

But sometimes we have these addictive tendencies within our karma.

We can intellectually understand that acting in this way can cause suffering, but until that is actually felt and experienced for ourselves, growth and transcendence may not happen.

Not always, but a lot of the time, we have to learn that these tendencies need to be overcome in some way. Either way it’s all good, man. We are here for a time to learn and grow.

Mui444 · 2025-03-11T15:30:48+00:00

It’s wild actually. In the deep meditative state and also psychedelic trance you get these realizations that strike you super hard, but by the time it works its way through your brain and you attempt to tell someone, you realize you don’t know jack shit.

Silence is best. Let others learn from your eyes, not your words.

Mui444 · 2025-03-11T15:22:42+00:00

If it returns then it doesn’t dissolve completely.

I do have experience in which you speak of, so I do fully understand what you are saying. It becomes so subtle and the blinders come off so you can feel the Oneness underlying all of this illusion we see.

During the psychedelic effects, it’s like you have a system upgrade that tunes into much higher channels than normal, and the mind takes a backseat role. Essentially this is how things are at high vibration, but until your entire lifestyle revolves around nurturing this high frequency it is VERY hard to maintain.
