Episode Description

Cory Muscara left an economics track and a Wall Street internship at 21 after a single meeting made him "feel his soul leave his body." He was ordained as a monk, spent six months in silence in Burma and only years later realized his prized meditation practice had become a sophisticated way to avoid himself. In this episode, Cory and Cecily Mak go deep on the First of the Eight Awarenesses — Clarity: my life is better clear. They explore the surprising truth that a "clear-looking" habit like meditation can be its own dimmer. They talk about spiritual bypassing, the difference between observing an emotion and being in "full contact" with it, the road to a fulfilling life partnership, and fatherhood as a devotional stripping-away. It's an honest look at how clarity really works: as the empowered choice to stop numbing and finally hear your own intuition again.
