In general I think this is not possible. That’s because the thing we call awakening or enlightenment is just noticing the world as it as and responding our experience of the world to include it rather than close it out. It’s not something special, just the mundane realization of life as it is. That we build it up into something is because we have trouble making sense of it when we’ve not fully experienced it.
To me your question is a bit like asking how can I have my eyes open and avoid seeing any colors when you believe the world is black and white. Trouble is, you’re already seeing the colors, even if you’re really good at ignoring them. Anything you do might cause you start noticing them, and an activity designed to help you notice things will only be especially good at this.
If you’re really set on this goal, though, there are ways you could try to actively avoid noticing the world. Don’t do meditation like described in TMI or any Buddhist text. In fact, don’t meditate at all. Also stay away from psychedelics. Instead, you can learn to hypnotize yourself to put yourself into trance states. This is a bit like the stupor benzos and alcohol induce. I don’t recommend it, and it can be habit forming, but it exists as an alternative to facing reality as it already is.
