Meta-consciousness

A state where your senses expands and experiencing full awareness

Once in meditation. I unlocked meta-consciousness and since then I would put full focus into anything.

Meta-Consciousness

Consciousness reflecting back upon itself. It's not just being aware of the color blue; it's being aware that you are aware of the color blue. It's the self-referential loop that creates the sense of a persistent "I" having experiences. This is the bedrock of introspection, identity, and existential dread. Some philosophies and meditation practices aim to transcend it, but for most of us, it's the voice in our head that never shuts up, commenting on everything, including its own commentary.

Example: "My meditation app told me to 'observe my thoughts without judgment.' That launched me into full meta-consciousness: 'I'm observing a thought about observing a thought about being hungry. Who's the 'I' here? Am I the observer or the thought? Also, I'm still hungry.' It was a recursive nightmare."
