About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.
Disclaimer: The information presented in these videos is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychiatric or medical illness. The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment. Seek help wherever necessary which might include a hospital emergency department, a suicide helpline etc.
Not long ago I saw the illusory nature of the"news matrix".. I mean, all news, from all stations mainstream and other platforms that claim to give the public news. Also social media news etc..
I have people who say to me "it's important to keep up with what's happening, (you should subscribe to it a little) .
When I saw this clearly, I saw how much people invest in it emotionally and psychologically, and intellectually as well.
A bubble popped and I found myself totally free to experience life without having to check in with other people's information.
Exactly, like why concern yourself with all the random things happening in the world that you have no control over or doesn’t effect your immediate environment-Just adds more negativity and stress imo
There are two kinds of awakening - a spiritual one and a political one. I've had the political one in that I'm not in the Matrix of fake news, and I'm aware that we've been lied to and controlled, but I'm dubious about whether I'm ever going to have a spiritual jolt. And time is rapidly running out for it to happen to me.
It's sad because I miss having a "shared tribal narrative". But the narratives on offer seem more toxic than no narrative at all.
@@gribwitchFor spiritual awakening, take that political awakening one step further and realize that it doesn't REALLY matter if you've been lied to. Our entire social construct is programmed, and that's okay. Your consciousness is immortal. We are playing a game... the game of being human. And what a dramatic game it is! There is no great awakening you need to accomplish. There is no gotcha moment. There is no prize or punishment waiting at the end, because there is no end. The experience is the prize, so have fun with it! Don't let fear of punishment or of being left out of some great secret dampen your joy of the present moment. Seeking enlightenment can be fun, like a great puzzle, but it is NOT necessary. You can drive yourself crazy with it and end up missing out on the everyday simple wonders of life. Obsessively seeking enlightenment is like going to a movie and spending the entire time searching for the script on your phone. Don't miss the movie!
--This is coming from someone who had a dramatic (and quite terrifying at times) spiritual awakening, and this is what I learned. Appreciate the human experience, and avoid fearful thoughts whenever possible. I wish you great joy and peace!
Yes, the news is just someone else's thinking, usually toxic thinking, triggering resentment, fear, outrage, jealousy, and all kinds of other low vibration brain states. Why get attached to internalizing toxic mental waste? It's like spending your precious time eating a stranger's ear wax.
When my kundalini rose there was 40 seconds of all time and previous lives unwinding. After, there was 3&1/2 days of living in a violet hue in full realization everything is one. Breathwork fed the violet flame and I kept it lit by breathing yogic breath and feeding it from my solar plexus to my second heart chakra. Its a dream made of love. The death and resurrection is real once the roses of the cross bloom and the lotus of the heart unfolds. I am able to heal others through their auric fields now. Well. God does it. Prana. Whatever you want to call it. It just is. The isness.
Integration was not fun.
The big things you need to know are: Attachment is the root of all suffering.
Do as thou wilt, through love.
Love your damn self first to fill your cup. The overflow is what you use to love others.
Can you heal my health issues?
@unwindingintobeing look up Joe dispenza meditation method. Pump your csf up your spine. Self healing is incredibly easy. I thought this stuff was all looney tunes but my spine was jacked up bad and i had no option. Years before I activated kundalini I used that meditation in the shower and the violet flame healed my spine, in less than 1minute I went from being almost paralyzed to fully healed and 2 inches taller from decompression. Water helps.
You can do it. Believe and call on God. Your soul will help you. Trust. Faith is the bird who sings before dawn, knowing the sun will rise.
Jerry Sargeant is another powerful healer I can vouch for as well as sophialush. She is the cheapest since she just began offering her services.
I have only traveled on the light a few times to do remote healing. It is not something I am consistent in doing yet.
I will give it a go here right now though. Stay hydrated. Alkaline water.
The quality of production has really gone crazy🎉
I should probably stop trying to understand all of this and just walk away. It's like trying to make someone like you when they don't.
what if you stop trying to understand this and DON'T walk away?
The only thing you should walk away from are people who don't make you feel more like yourself (and you make them feel more themselves,too). Join a book club, a Buddhist study group, join events in your town, keep trying. You'll find your people.
In the meantime, just meditate every day, and be grateful every day for everything in your life, even the negative stuff (which provide us with our challenges). Practice every day. Begin a dream journal. Follow the things that make you feel a little jolt of optimism, happiness, passion, whatever it evokes in you.
Please don't give up.
This is your challenge. Take it on! You can get through the negative self-talk
@@aprilyoung1234everything that is suggested here is about continuing to seek what is already here. There is nothing wrong with any of it but these things simply continue to perpetuate the illusion of Duality.
Non Duality is resting in what is, recognizing there is no doer. Relax into contentment and allow life to be as it is.

Adyashanti never said he " knew he was gonna get it" when he saw the word enlightenment in an Alan Watts book. He said the word stuck out and resonated with him but he never said or thought " I know I'm gonna get this " in fact his enlightenment came after he was so frustrated after a zen retreat that he gave up. And in this giving up and surrender - it happend or he " got it "
I’m sure he has told that story many times. Maybe you haven’t heard every single time he told it? It’s likely you missed once or twice no? Anyways what I remember him saying was along the lines of “as soon as I saw the word enlightenment I knew I was going to find a way to get it/ I knew that’s I wanted etc. I’ve also heard him say “I had to get enlightened yesterday” and “I put it all on enlightenment.” He was clearly on fire with the dharma and swallowed the red hot iron ball. The fact that it happened years later is par for the course, as is exhausting the effort and personal will. This is very much the (Rinzai) Zen way.
What if I never feel anything about enlightenment? And what about enlightenment being in the present moment? It seems Adyashanti suggests it's in the future.
I'm very much in that stage you've described - I've seen through the illusion but even still thoughts feel super sticky. At the same time I feel no pull to go anywhere. I just sit here and let my intuition pull me. I don't even hope for awakening
You are already awakened. It‘s just the mind trying to convince you that you are not. You might be waiting for something to happen, an experience, an epiphany, an "aha-moment", something. But seeing through the illusion is it already. You are it, here, now. This is it. The awareness of the illusion, the awareness of the intuition, the awareness of thoughts coming and going and that you are not the thoughts, not the mind, not the person/ego/character, but awareness effortlessly aware of what is going on.
This feels like where I'm at too. Nothing has changed. My ego wants awakening to be some euphoric power trip like Neo from the matrix realizing he can fly 😂
But underneath that wanting is a new "peace", a new "everything is OK-ness" that is easier to access than it ever was before. I don't need anti depressant meds anymore.
Thank you Angelo for continuing to talk about those who have not had the big shift. I know so many on the channel have and thats awesome but some of us still need to hear this beginning piece. Thanks again :)
I would say that most of us have not had an awakening yet. I certainly haven't. I keep hearing about "consciousness Shifts" and "light energies" flooding the planet to supposedly assist us, yet I have never experienced ANY of this whatsoever. Yet apparently I'm here at this time of ascension TO wake up spiritually. So what has gone wrong for me ? Or should I say what is wrong WITH ME ? I don't appear to be in God's party invitations. or something mystical would have happened to me by now.
I come away from this channel just as frustrated as before I started watching.
If anyone really wants this, this talk makes it so Grokable it’s simple. No effort, just stop. Please put this in the Greatest Hits. You communicate this unbelievably. Many thanks❤
thanks my dood, your comment helped me.
You said “dropping that frozen ball of ice” as I dropped ice into my matcha 🤣👌🏻
That's awesome!
You're totally attracting some good stuff, here -- and your guides have a ~lovely~ sense of humor 🤭.
Stay blessed, friend!
✌🏼🤍💫 from 🍑, 🇺🇸, 🌎
I haven't had an awakening, but something weird happened to me. It felt like everything was completely different, but there was no good feelings or honeymoon period. I lost interest in everything. Things I'd always loved or loved doing were no longer interesting at all. Emotions running rampant, hypersensitivity to sounds and vibrations. ( e.g. a box fan sounds like a jack-hammer). Everything is completely flat, as far as motivation or interest in life, but emotions are strong and keep coming fast and hard. It's like I don't have a choice...... I am no longer a functional human being.This would be much more hellish without your videos. Sometimes i feel so desperate that I try to look into your eyes, hoping you'll put the whammy on me. Thank you for your work.
Hang in there. It sounds like a period of clearing out. It will get lighter. Bit by bit. Maybe you can try TRE, to release some of the tension in the system. That might soften the symptoms you're experiencing. I wish you all the best!
That happened to me when I was going through an extended period of extreme stress, it may not be related to awakening.
TRE can be a lifesaver, very true. Just don't go too forceful all at once ('allowing' is better), cause a lot of stuff might come up, resulting in overwhelm - and it's hard to maintain stable awareness in such a case (that's my experience at least)
@@georgesonm1774 Totally agree, is my experience, too. Thank you for mentioning that!
But yeah, TRE and sometimes even - in the extreme cases - physically exhausting yourself, even going full-on wild with expression (as in dancing like crazy, jumping around, chanting or even screaming, going where the body leads you) if gentle is not enough - will get some of the tension out of the system (and the energy from the mind to the here-and-now /body awareness), at a certain point awareness arises and it gets more peaceful
"Hey, all of that could be an illusion... does that resonate with you?" For some reason this question opened a well of joy in me.
Thank you for writing it out, now I feel it😊
@@HiluT 😄
Bloody hell, man, that was an amazing talk. 😮❤
19:48 Yes, yes and yes. There's no going back, there's no turning back. It's all or nothing at this point!!
It hit me hard , when you said find the seeker.
What Is im seeking becouse I really don't deserved as to have an awakening, becouse I have been so ashamed of not knowing how to be me. Oh my God it hurts, trying to figure out how to ne me.
This little girl hurts as a woman, as a mom, as a wife, as a grandma.
Gahhh😢
I felt like you were speaking directly to me. I have had it and lost it. (So it seems) Hearing what you said along with many other things you have said gives me deep relief. Knowing I can't do anything gives me so muuch space to breathe.
Thank you Angelo! 🙏❤
[45:00] That is very important point. This "collapse" of seeker and what cannot be actually found. It's like: after some practice, having taste of different states, different meta-perspectives, we can switch from this world of opposite qualities to a still point which is no-thing. But the moments of fusion of these are really where it can experience itself through this form of ours. Like, you know, in programming we have this common example: "Hello, word!". Haha. It's like the world saying "hi" to itself through this slot. And it's juicy and clear, yet so normalized (in both meanings: like equal and like natural).
I'm not sure, this may just be my own thing, but as a prerequisite, it has to do something with really letting go, like dynamically, not looking from outside, not being dissociated (not even 0.0005 inch), but fully in the middle of current ordinary, everyday experience, and then letting it position itself by not trying to adjust the moment or make anything, add or remove anything to/from it.
Every time i perceived something beyond « me » it’s always been exactly the same truth shown. It’s the most natural state, there is nothing that can be closer and more intimate. And also, unawakening is just believing this thought. In that way it feels like nothing has moved, it’s still the same truth
I feel such a deep connection to this I tell myself I connected to source . Once you taste and feel the pure bliss, the connection to every thing the love that comes from it and the joy to everything you are hooked . And when you spoke about loosing it ,I am in that stage . the struggle for me is I feel like I am chasing something tying to find my way back to it . I know it I saw it I felt it it’s true it does exist and it’s always there but I keep doing something to cut myself off from it .
How did you first realise all you described ? I'm envious of you.
As someone who hasn't had an "awakening" yet, the type of pointing you do here is definitely of the type that seems most "effective" to "me" - specifically the idea that the awakeness is already here and everything is it. The first time I remember this pointing was when reading Living Nonduality by Robert Wolfe sometime last year, and it kind of hit me over the head like a sledgehammer, I felt a bit dazed, even for the entire day or so after reading that. That hasn't happened since (at least not to that same degree and duration), but what you say here feels like it produces a kind of echo of that, and it seems like that may be something I need to return to more, contemplate more, and in a more focused way, during inquiry/meditation.
After watching this twice, it is clear, sensing it would be delicious to dialogue with you someday, or when the now feels right. Open to musing anytime 🌊
Angelo, I am not sure how it is possible, but the sharing is so clear as of late. I am sensing the rest of the Sangha is vibing too. Perfect.
You're speak eloquently of the INDESCRIBABLE ... love your vids, many thanks
Yeah. Probably my all-time favorite Angelo Truth-Channellings.🤜🏽🤛🏼
All this is missing is a mic drop exit moment at the end haha! Big love for sharing this. Going through a lot of shame processing atm and this helps see this is still all the mind stank running autopilot! X
You got this, honey.
What has helped me are the NDE videos I've watched, here on the CZcamsz. They all say _they_ judged _themselves_ (sans ego). Nuttin' but ~love~ remains.
Let it go (shame).
_If_ it has served you: hold onto the lesson, not the judgment. You are not what you do; *You Are.*
Best wishes, friend 🤍. You have done nothing "wrong". In fact, you're exactly where your Higher Self wants to be.
Respect the process and love, Love, LOVE yourself ✨️!!
Thank you Angelo for this beautiful/ excellent talk 🙏🙏
For a person living with a hot iron ball stuck in my throat for the past many years... This talk was like a lovers cool attention after a long time of no contact... 😊
😊
For one who has not yet had the first awakening this means so little at this moment… of course mind is trying to understand what it cannot…😔😔😔
Join the club. I would say we're in deep trouble as we haven''t "remembered who we are" yet, as they keep imploring us to do. It's very late in the process now, and I / we haven't even got off the starting blocks. I don't know about you but I don't feel I'm God at all. Don't feel "Oneness" and certainly don't feel I have special powers, gifts or abilities.
I only come to these sites to hear what I evidently am missing out on. Unfortunately I don't gain anything from it. But this guy has quite a way with words, I'll give him that.
So I keep coming back to this spacious somethingness that seems to be way beyond any concept of 'something', and I find the word Awareness really seems to evoke that for me, but I've heard you on multiple occasions either say it's not awareness, or that awareness isn't the word you'd use for it. I'd love to know why that is!
To me, awareness is this simultaneously spacious and non-dimensional no-thingness that everything seems to arise within.
Thank you for another wonderful video btw, Angelo!
It's just wording. Concepts. Labels. "Awareness" is perfectly fine. Mooji also calls it „Is-ness“, Nisargadatta Maharaj called it "the Absolute". David Bingham calls it "Effortless Being".
Use whatever resonates with you. It doesn’t matter because it anyway is beyond any word or concept. ☺️🧡
Yes . How can i wake up in the future when the future will be the now , the same now as the present moment . Great video .
Thank you. As always, perfect for the stickiness of thought going on here. 🙏❤ I was with my long-time teacher, Ajahn Sucitto, a monk in the Thai Forest Tradition. He came here to Salt Spring Island to visit those of us who call him "teacher". He's been a monk for almost 50 years, and I've never been around someone who's completely empty and completely full. His Realization silences me sometimes. Anyway, in the day-long yesterday in answer to someone's question, he said, "there's no mind". He went on to break it down. This hit big-time. Exploring this and experiencing this.
..........no words to describe how great this talk was.......Bravo.
CZcams brought you to my feed over the past few days. I’ve been on fire ever since. You are the most amazing and teacher I ever heard. I hear you, and I feel what you’re saying.
I 'needed' or 'GOT' this one more so than recent others.
Swamped w shadow self seems too hev much of my days.
So....... 'am' better comprehending.
Appreciation
Question: I had a spiritual awakening last December without realising I was on the path and was able to do some healing work when my shadow came up. However, I am not having these ongoing continued awakenings that you are talking about. I have been drawn to your book because I am still caught-up in thought... However, why is that other people are having these continued awakenings, and I am back in the illusion? It make me feel like I am doing something wrong, even though there is no such thing!
Hi Sam, I wouldn’t worry to much about what o the er people are experiencing. I know it can be easy when you hear all these spiritual teachers talking about this stage and that stage or whatever, but your path is unique to you. Sure, they will be some similarities but I would just let it go and listen to your intuition about what to do next
Yeah it's like some women have multiple orgasms and others only have one. Doesn't seem fair.
@@gribwitch lol
@@EntangledSingularity Thank you!
Omg the most powerful and emotional video I’ve seen or should I say been part of , thank you AD ❤️
the difficult art for me was months of past life experiances in dreams to suddenly during day it was intense then as it ended even that was accepted.
Angelo your retreat was great I enjoyed every minute of it (eventhough my poor dog needed attention for post operative pain).
I had a little Kundalini but i had a lot of shadow work which shocked me, it came from the depth of my body-mind and it was wrenching.
Thanks again looking forward to the next one ❤😊
Very nice! Very pushy. Just what we need. Please keep pushing. It's so close I can taste it. I drifted into the dream state while listening. Then I woke up 😳😜 You are answering the collective call. Infinite gratitude. 🙏🙏🙏
Dear Angelo, does enlightment feels lonley? I always think God created this world and the universe to not feel so alone! Can you say something about this because this is my biggest fear! My hole life I had this deep feeling of loneliness even when I am with people.
I love your Video! Thank you!🙏🥰
I would say enlightenment is less about the feeling of being lonely or not, and more about confronting the fear of being lonely itself. Find out what’s left when you confront and work through the fear of being lonely. I imagine the sensation of being alone will feel much different then
@@eoghain5021Thank you!🙏
Currently trying it. I'll let you know happens...or what doesn't happen 😊
Much gratitude 🙏🙏🙏
Why am i chuckling like Peter Griffin throughout this whole video..
😂😂😂
Awakening/ Being seems to be fractal.
File this one under Real Talk.
watching this channel as long as I have been, Angelo it is hard to say it is anything more than a hypnotism project
Are you working for someone besides yourself, though? is it State? Private? I just want to know
Have you listened to Gary Weber’s theory on the brain’s selecting a different neurological pathway to process thinking resulting in the important initial shift (Kensho)? This is’nt self hypnosis and, like Angelo, believes it is permanent.
@@glenalford4143 i have not looked into Gary Weber, I'll have to check it out
To calrify my question I'll share that in my life i have met several American born citizens that do podcasts and stuff like that - that i later find are working as agents for the Russians or Israelis or whatnot. It's ridiculous. They target spiritual communities sometimes, ... think Qanon. So Angelo, if you are just another one of these people with one of these jobs, i have to say i am very impressed (s)
Ok it's been 3 business days and the fact that you haven't responded to this comment (besides "favoriting" it) combined with the tendency of these videos continuing to implement more and more hypnotic techniques as time goes on tells me alot about this operation and where the alues are. This is my personal opinion, Matthew King, the humble owner of this youtube channel.
As the MF DOOM lyrics go Angelo...No answer... Slow dancer... Hopeless romancer
😝
Get it together. You are too old for this
Thank you 🙏 friend
Yes! Feeling so directly…💔
Thank you Angelo for pushing. It's so frustrating sometimes. I so often feel like I'm either trying too hard or giving up and not trying at all, and I KNOW it's right there in between both of them. The struggle is real!
Thank you for making everybody feel included.❤
Maybe you could help me out on this idea of the texture of a thought. When you say, "see what the thought is made of" I get tripped up. I come up with things like, it's made of fear, or just thought stuff. I value your approach of reticence to give answers, I just know there's something in that space I am not seeing. Thanks so much for sharing your experience ❤
There will always be newbies that need to hear what you have to say about your experience and haven’t had their own yet. Like ME! Thank you. ❤️💡🙏🏻
Thanks for this
When Nisargadatta talks about what is Real being one solid block, he also mentions it being made of light and love (which are the same). The funny thing with Nisargadatta is that we first think he’s talking symbolically, then we go deeper (or down a similar path), and realise he is only ever talking about his direct experience and the literal truth (which is why his words are so powerful). That solid block of light and love is here now and can be accessed, beneath all the layers, but it’s not easy to do and seemingly happens by grace alone.
If the human mind was capable of enlightenment, you’d all be enlightened now. The human can only allow it, the human mind has no idea. Awakening is the process of releasing all the muck and mire you believed yourself to be. The full realisation of Self, is outside of your control.
Step 1 and step 2... Jesus this was mindblowing. Tripping. Love it ❤
We Always have CHOICE... to Believe we have No Choice is a CHOICE also.
And we All Chose to Be Here in physical form NOW or we wouldn't Be Here NOW.
Nothing just happens randomly or accidently... it only appears to BE, when we are unconscious of what's happening. ❤
We also chose our parents, sex, race, location, & whatever we chose to Experence this Lifetime. & in all Lifetimes, in our Chosen physical form.❤
i think i assumed that when the idea of self is seen through, that there would be no more unbinding. and so i began associating unbinding WITH “ me”……. and then its just that vicious thought loop, dog chasing its tail……
very good!
Sweet surrendering. I love knowing i can let go at every moment and yet still meet the body's needs. The barrierless home of pure awareness. 🏳🎉🎁❤️🔥 😋
Strong nervous laughter at "I'm trying to push you right to the brink" 😅😅😅😅 Btw, I haven't mentioned this before but you get me chuckling often😂
Thank you Angelo
After many many years of “searching”, “experiences” and whatever… nothing resonates with me any more. Nothing. I just hear “bla bla bla”. I’m not trying to be critical here, it’s just how it is. The only thing I value as such is my OWN experiences, and I’m not interested in what anybody have to say about them either. But then again; the experiences came and went, so what?
How do you know if that's not IT already?
@doogsiabrey
/* raw-joke-warning */
It's very easy to check if it's an IT problem. You just have to turn it off and on again. All the best!
We just don't keep the same excitement as when something is new to us. I would guess this applies to the other side too and why we come here. All good and perfect would get boring.
So that’s actually really great progress, but what about your feelings and emotions around all this? The “so what” feeling? The cynicism, boredom or not caring? Where do they all lead, or what causes them?
Have you heard UG krishnamurti?
Just had the realisation that when you say examine thoughts, etc. you mean the process itself, not a specific thought (which goes away the moment it is noticed). So the process of noticing thoughts is what leads to the realisation that the thoughts represent a character that shouldn't be identified with, and even though this character part can be played with gusto there is always knowledge/realisation that a part is being played. Whereas before it would be only character and no actor, thinking I am the character. That seems like the big difference between before and now.
Excellent!
There is a strong resonation with the natural right now. I just got the concept of the snake being just a rope. Nothing needs to be done. It is deceitfully simple. How did i miss this for so many years? Idealism merged with emotional turbulence? Who does even need that? I don't even need to know. Thank you Angelo. A human being talking about what it really means to be a human.
Yes! I want you to PUSH! lol I always feel like I'm "on the right track" when you say something that doesn't make any sense (mixing oil and water) and yet it resonates.
Thanks for your steady guidance on this pathless path. Your videos have become part of my nighttime routine. And as I flow in and out of clarity, it is comforting to see that you're right there with a new video pretty much everyday. What a blessing to have this knowledge and guidance so openly available to us. Thank you, deep gratitude for your presence.
Thanks Angelo! Beautiful pointing
Re what you said about some people being angry and pound their fists saying they didn't sign up for this. I am like the leader of that group... This is SO SO SO not what I signed up for, and if there was a brain procedure that could erase the last couple of years of my life, I'd go for it and live in "illusion" until old age, dukka be damned. My thesis is that waking up is NEVER EVER something anyone wants (despite you and others saying this is what they wanted; I don't know who says that really but I can't believe that anyone who wants to be a human being would want that). The main problem is that I just cannot avoid the solipsism problem/conclusion, at least until _that_ conclusion goes away. But it has not gone away in 3 years now, and I don't see why it would go away in some "future". So for 3 years now I'm in solipsism hell, and there seems to be no change in direction. Just stable agony.
Well I assure you most people are really genuinely oriented toward, grateful for awakening. It really comes down to will. What makes it uncomfortable is two things (in the case you are describing). One is the insistence that things should be the way you imagine them instead of the way they are. Just think about that for a minute, how could that NOT lead to struggle, frustration, suffering etc. Second it holding a philosophical view (solipsism). This view is a trap and for good reason. I'm sure you can see how ego centric the view is that I am the only thing/person in existence. Again, of course this will lead to suffering. So much better to trust this natural process than your own set of dearly held illusions. Doing so will turn hell into heaven pretty quickly. But sometimes we have to hold on to our suffering a bit longer to convince ourselves it just isn't worth it.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Thanks for your reply, I think I get what you're saying. Regarding both things you mentioned, well, the expectation that things should be the way I had imagined is not really a problem per se. My background is science, and I'm used to revising dearly held models. Various glimpses in the last 3 years made me thoroughly reconsider my model of reality (seeing that a mechanistic model a la materialism just cannot be correct). I had very little, if any, problem with that. It became a problem when the 2nd part kicked in: solipsism, which is not merely a philosophical theory but a terrifying possibility, just a source of abject fear. Calling it a philosophy gives overtones of idle speculation -- this is not what it's like for me. I live in constant anxiety. A million of synchronicities also seem to support this, although I have learned not to trust the synchronicities (the way it works for me is I assign a number/word to a concept, which I've done for "solipsism". I then see this number pop up literally EVERYWHERE). And hearing statements (from you and others) that THIS is all there is, sometimes it's even said "this experience is all there is" -- how can you not equate that with solipsism? When THIS is all there is, there is no place for others (and "their experience") to be elsewhere, is there?? When I'm watching a sunset, is there anyone else who's also watching a sunset? If so, then THIS wouldn't be just this but this and that. So why would I NOT conclude solipsism (whether you call it a philosophy or not, I don't give a damn about philosophical theories; I'm being very practical here). The frequently stated phrase "this is all there is" by you and many other (eg neo-advaita) speakers, strongly suggests solipsism but then it is denied (by you, but also some other teachers, not everyone though; eg Adyashanti strongly suggested that, without using this word, to a woman who was expressing similar sentiments, telling her "you're right, I'm not really here, you made me up because you had questions"), which leaves me utterly confused because I cannot see the difference.
This was a fucking amazing video thank you 🙏
Thank you for holding a light on our path! A few months ago for a moment I experienced the silence and stillness. And it was not in the meditation, everything was happening around me and it felt like Im in a bubble that I saw and heard things but also I was in pure stillness and silence too. Is it how people feel all the time when they awaken?
It's like I'm looking at the world from two holes in a wall, and I see these arms and legs sticking out. Behind the wall there is vast space and the world in front of the wall looks like a computer game but at the same time everything is very alive. Even innanimate objects are alive and glowing and everything is me.
Beautiful. Thx for sharing
I went to Walgreens yesterday, and as I was walking on the sidewalk through the traffic on the highway, and so on, I thought to myself, what if Im dreaming?
I'm confused
You're not the only one
Another magical dose of the Real!
Feel resistance when I seemingly hear words that are conflicting and confusing. I'm already not knowing initial awakening, stages, more challenges compared to "what was". I am overthinking already. I listen to you and overthinking overthinking as a result of trying to "get something" I may already have but don't know it. From this "liberated" position dropping in out of and awakening always in and out of everything and these are just damn words. Not really trying to be an idiot here, just coming naturally and honestly confused.
How can one be introspective and not be in the mind? I think a lot of 'breakthroughs' are actually quite physical, initially. That's what I hear when people try to remember how they got to a place that was vastly different but known, true and a mystery.
I first heard the term pathless path from grandfather Longchenpa, but apparently the vedantists like to say it too.
Back for a second listen.
I agree feels like the crap wants out. I am not enjoying 'WHO am I'.
But confused.....Why would people be angry because of the journey to where everybody has to Get to eventually?
I struggle with some teaching teach that life us already planned and we are just actors reading a script then others teach that if we are in a higher frequency we can manifest, this confuses me, can you help?
This one really gets me, too. I can still hear the voice of Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations in my ears saying, "Clear intention, with an elevated emotion, and matter responds to a new mind." I studied the "Law of Attraction", and even ho'opopono where one takes 100% responsibility for absolutely everything that comes into their life. So many teachings out there telling us that we create our own reality, that thoughts become things.......hard to switch gears after trying so hard to control thoughts and emotions.
yes there’s so much out there about having total control. even from folks who used to be non duality speakers and talked about no free will. did they just get bored but wanted to keep making videos and neeeded different things to say???
it’s that paradox that as an ego or thought there’s no free will. but then folks say AS conciousness there’s only freedom. which makes sense. but it’s not freedom for the person. at least not the person we take ourselves to be. but yea, how can we “ create” our life when we don’t choose the choosing?
@@katehiggins9940 Yes! So hard to discern. I think I subconsciously believed for way too long that just because someone has a youtube channel, they were experts. And that they were genuine. I get it that we need to find out for ourselves what is true, but I think it's pretty common to research and look to others who have more experience.
Angelo, how do I know if I've broken the spell of mind identification or not? Because from what I'm seeing there's quite a different approach recommended for the 'before' and 'after' period. If a sh*tload of shadow emotional stuff comes up in the form of body sensations, if there's awareness that "I" don't beat my heart or probably even move my hands etc., and a certain detachment from the ideas that pop in the mind (a disbelief in what the thoughts are saying) happens, even though it can get quite "me vs. them" when around people, and I can still be quite preoccupied with where I'm at on the path or, say, if the future turns out well for the (personal) ME, sometimes really concerned about personal boundaries (time allocation, needing solitude to recharge, etc.) - this seems like a post-"first awakening" thing already, correct? (Surely, the very question is coming from the self-concerned place, the ego trying to grasp at some sort of stability of identity, perhaps? But the more practical question would be - what's the best practice now?)
Lol I just watched the video and see that these are the exact things you've been talking about :)
A different question though: what if something that I actually trust is not any of these questions but the assertion that "everything is fine as it is, here and now"? Like, - whatever stops the thoughts in their tracks, right? And allows to go deep experientially? Everyone has different "hooks", I suppose
Thanks.
These talks all make me feel completely miserable. I mean, I feel miserable to begin with. I've tried therapy, medication, everything I could think of, and then I listen to these talks about people becoming liberated, and I think... yeah... I'm never going to experience that. I go from feeling miserable to hopeless and miserable. I The only thing that I've managed to consistently take away from talks like this is, "I'm wrong about what I think enlightenment is." I almost feel like there very definitely is a duality if only in that I don't see any of the things you are seeing. (I get it, that's a thought, but I've yet to figure out how to not think. Or be a thought... or be something else's thought... or... I'm so confused.) I think it's great you guys manage to find some sort of awakening, but... I think the only liberation I'm going to feel is if I unalive myself.
Really good one💫
Glad you like it!
❤️❤️❤️
I like that music!
thanks
Angelo, my uncle is a very conservative English gentleman. I told him that I recognise a terrible beauty and we don't really talk any more......

It's ( awakening) here. Right now."
"Anyone can have an awakening".
No, you're wrong. You're discussing something that sounds good and intriguing, but I don't feel is possible for me. I don't know how to break the so called "illusion" you speak of. I've been waiting for years, ever since I first became aware of this ascension business. Yet I still haven't been granted an awakening by Spirit. For some reason I have not been deemed worthy of having one. I say this because at this very late stage to not have even have had ONE ascension symptom - neither physical mental or emotional - must mean I'm only here to be part of the furniture. To watch everyone else become enlightened but with me standing on the sidelines being a bitterly angry observer. This is how I view my situation.
I made a video response to this. Stay tuned
Are you the line on the graph, or a point on the line? Does it matter?
@simplyalwaysawake do you have a direct experience of a red hot iron ball that you cannot swallow?
