You can. I go on a 2 week Mahasi vipassana silent meditation retreat each year and each time the release notes make it worth the time and effort. Also like running defrag on a disk that has been defragged regurlarly, it runs smoother each time, making the whole experience much more pleasurable.
Release notes last retreat:
- Fixed approval seeking issue due to lack of approval by clueless dad during teenage years
- Reduced day dreaming by 10% by recognizing mechanisms that lead to day dreaming
- Optimized routines for dealing with tough situations
- Increased mindfulness by eliminating several mechanisms that lead to mindlesness
- Discovered access to high concentration states that likely will lead to more discoveries
- Fixed loneliness issue due to missed update
- Fixed part of a (self and others) judgement issue. More work on this issue needed.
The above is a pretty accurate representation of the results I got.
