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.
There is no remote. Best to Accept the channel that is playing. Even when the annoying mini-Me, inserts commercial slogans as, “but wait, there’s more!”
!!!មក
acceptance may happen, but not by some”one”/volition
I do the writing thing. I'll set there with pen and paper and the thoughts come and some of them are ones I think I'll write down but I don't. I'll find myself going deeper into trance and then I'll write some nugget down. Yesterday the nugget was, "when there's no story, there's freedom. Story is full of agendas, delusions and false narrative."
@Ryan…To be what you are is effortless. To become, what you already are, is not.
I don't get what you say
@@Ryan-Dempsey , When the mini-Me starts a dialogue, go on an instant metaphorical Silent Retreat. LOL. Rest in JUST THIS.
I mean, I get the first bit, but not the second.
@@Ryan-Dempsey , it has to do with seeking. Consciousness is an emergent property of a complex brain. The brain creates the mind, which creates the self, I, and me. In reality, there is no self, I, nor me. There never has been a self, I, or me, nor ever will be. It’s all a story. It’s that simple. No looking, seeking, nor pathway required.
There are/were parts of myself that did NOT want to be found. Even after years of inquiry and working 1-1 with a guy for 2 years. I even quit my job last week on the spot because a part of me was getting revealed. Luckily my manager was calm and said, "don't make any rash decision, I'll not take what you just said as a resignation". We decided I take a week off and decide what I want. That part of me then revealed itself during the week and I informed my manager that I will be returning. Very sneaky indeed, the mind. I've done a fair amount of energy work and these energies are like spirits that can be purged from the system AND we know how to do this if our consciousness is online.
Wow powerful story! Yes this gets full on!
Deeply mysterious and yet something knows.
Truly powerful - I recognize the deep truth in this, and I also recognize that deep shadow in me that doesn't want to be looked at or even admit it exists.
excellent
so grounding, and powerful, thank you, what hit for me was, is there a part of me that does not want this experience?
💛Thanks for your clear explanation, i felt it.
Thank you for making & sharing this Angelo 🦋
I find myself focusing a lot on "improving". Mostly the fixation is on how to better interact with people. How to be more patient, slower to anger, communicate clearly, and so on. Is this putting a bandaid on the symptom instead of addressing the disease so to speak? Or just a bunch of mind mumbo jumbo? It feels like it's what I should do, but I'm not sure if it's stuff that just naturally works itself out after realization.
sometimes i think about what would happen if Angelo got a brain scan and the results were super cool ultraviolet rainbow colors because of all the neural connections and abnormal wiring from years of awakeness which rattles the science world . and then he gets abducted by the government and in his zen supremacy literally accidentally games everyone who interviews and studies him leaving them reeling with existential questions
Thank You Angelo❤
You are so welcome
The Work of Byron Katie has been useful for me to dig into reactivity or emotions. I've found that strong emotions can be tied to a belief. The Work presents a set of questions to examine a belief. The examinations have put me into more clear contact with underlying emotions. The writing to answer questions has been cathartic. Clarity and an opening can occur. She has a 99 cent app that walks you through the process.
Thank you for reminding me about BK’s process. I’m in the middle of something at the moment that would benefit from this.
❤Thank you
Suppressed emotions. . . . . . . . . …. don’t look 👎 jealousy excitement ~ disappointment anger pride? Perhaps some pockets of grief or sadness…
Please, I need to be at your feet as I was at Moojis at Monte Sahaja 🙏🏻 🛐 I'm a chiropodist lol 😅
❤️❤️❤️
You mentioned that doctrinal Buddhism is not great at emotion work. My experience, albeit limited seems to generally agree with this as well. However I wonder if something like TWIM as a primary vehicle for the path could actually be a One-Stop shop for lots of people. I'm not a Buddhist scholar by any stretch of the imagination, but I think Bhante Vimalaramsi made a compelling argument that that practice was probably the closest to the direct teachings the Buddha did. That being said, there are numerous references in Buddhist scripture to the Buddha sending people to various other teachers to learn something - The beauty of non-inherency is you can't inherently be right.
I went through the 10 ox herding pictures, and now I’m back in the last picture, the marketplace. There is a lot of wood to chop and water to carry. Is this all there is? As Bill Hicks said, is this just a ride? What now?
I felt anger when I read the title of your video "you can't save the world with awakening". WTF...jesus christ...god fucking dammit...and what the hell am I doing with my life?! I think I'll go watch that video now. ❤
Can there also be resistance to emotions NOT being there? Like resistance to nothing... trying to create something that is not (out of social pressure for example)??
YES!
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Thank you, I think this type of resistance is more sneaky, because it seems to offer so much. Especially in our "everything goes" society. You can be who you want to be, etc.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake It's easy to accept an emotion that is present, but to have no control over who we are now feels so disempowering (to the mind at least)
Can the resistance occur purely in the brain, like a cycling through attention without effecting the body? Does the exploration always turn something up? What if there's just no feeling of resistance anywhere ... like seeking literally is the only apparent problem?
Is this live or from a retreat?
