Enes Trumić grew up in Bosnia afraid of the dark, shy, and experiencing panic attacks no one had a name for. That suffering became the doorway. In this conversation he walks me through a spontaneous café moment where he watched his own life play like a movie, a year as a Hare Krishna monk chanting eight hours a day, and the morning it erupted into what he calls a "mental death": infinite, expanding nothingness, followed by a dark night of the soul that played out against the backdrop of the Bosnian war.

Enes spent fifteen years with a teacher he loved before walking away from the cult around him to discover:

We are animals first

Thinking is not the enemy

This physical life is the only place awareness can be practiced

No one holds the copyright on truth

What if the Big Bang never ended? What if separation between you and everything you perceive is an illusion? In this episode, we explore the radical possibility that the same creative force that began the universe billions of years ago is still happening RIGHT NOW: through you, as you.

We'll move from concept to direct experience and discover what meditation reveals about the nature of reality when we become aware and simply watch.

Roman Golovach arrived in America broke, lost, and working as a mover. At 24, he stumbled upon an obscure Soviet book — The Nature of Talent: About the Boy Who Could Fly — and it changed everything he believed about genius, potential, and what human beings are capable of. Today, he runs his own tech company.

In this episode, we explore the philosophy behind his transformation, how talent can be developed through simple and fun projects, and the process of unlocking a life you WANT to live.

What if the one looking for answers… isn't there? In this conversation, Adam sits down with Seye Kuyinu — author of "This Glorious Dance" and agile coach — to explore what it's like to live from a space of no-self.

In this conversation, Seye shares the moment he realized "there's nobody inside here," why spiritual seeking is ultimately a distraction, and what it looks like to navigate work, relationships, and creativity from a place of groundlessness.

We also discuss:

-Free will

-The dreamer and the dream

-The nature of the mind

-Creativity as grace

-The "glorious dance" of polarities that make up all experience.

📘 About Seye Kuyinu:

Seye is the author of "This Glorious Dance" and writes contemplative reflections on consciousness, identity, and existence. His work points toward the mystery of experience beyond concepts and beliefs.

He was once a teacher of non-duality interviewed on Buddha at the Gas Pump, giving talks in the Netherlands, and deeply immersed in the world of non-dual awakening. Now, he's one of its most articulate critics.

Dr. Michael Damian is a clinical psychologist working in the Jungian tradition and the author of The Art of Freedom: A Guide to Awakening (2017).

In this conversation, we explore his personal awakening experience, what drew him to non-dual teaching, and what ultimately disillusioned him. From the self-denying logic of Neo-Advaita to the dogmatism he encountered in teachers like Rupert Spira, Dr. Damian speaks candidly about the psychological harm he has witnessed when people use spiritual frameworks to bypass inner work.

We also discuss Jungian psychology, the puer aeternus archetype (Peter Pan Syndrome) , near-death experiences, God, self-actualization, and what it means to do the work.

Topics covered: Dr. Damian's awakening experience — nirvikalpa samadhi, kriyas, and what came after.

How he became a non-dual teacher and why he walked away.

The difference between Advaita, Neo-Advaita, and qualified non-dualism (Vishishtadvaita).

Why "awareness cures suffering" is, in his words, absolute BS.

The puer aeternus pattern and spiritual bypassing.

Near-death experiences and what they reveal about God and the soul.

Jungian self-actualization — shadow, persona, and psychological wholeness.

How belief systems help or harm us.

What real one-on-one therapeutic work looks like.

In this episode, I sit down with Markham, a trained Onaya in the Shipibo tradition, for a conversation about plant intelligence, consciousness, ceremony, ego, darkness, healing, and what its like to walk the path of an Ayahuasquero in the modern world.

Markham breaks down:

→ What plant medicine ceremonies actually look like from the inside

→ The rigorous training process of a Shipibo medicine doctor

→ Why the healer matters as much as the medicine

→ How ego destruction and shadow work connect to genuine healing

→ His personal journey from hedonism to purpose

→ What it's like when your life becomes the ceremony

This is a conversation about consciousness, responsibility, and what happens when a human being commits fully to serving something greater than themselves.

What happens when the very teachings meant to free you become the cage?

In this episode of the Minds Eye Morning Show, we examine the premise of non-duality — what it got right, where it went sideways, and why the spiritual search itself can become the problem it's promising to solve.

We explore:

- Why non-duality frameworks can create more mental fragmentation than peace

- The difference between an intellectual understanding and actual lived experience

- How belief systems — spiritual and material — become invisible prisons

- What "inner guidance" actually looks like in practice vs. theory

- The psychology behind why we chase enlightenment the same way we chase cars and careers

- What it means to be formless — and why that doesn't mean you're nothing

Plus: a live chat discussion on spirituality vs. psychology, intuitive knowing, the Polynesian wayfinders, consciousness, individuality, and what the show Pluribus gets right about awareness.
