Late last night I had an realization. While trying to convince others of a concept i realized that part of identify is not just what you identify as but also what you dont identify with is just as strong , the push and pull towards and away from anything. An idea , thoughts, likes, dislikes and so on.... when talking about any subject to otheres this is what either attracts them or repelled them, myself included in this realization. Suddenly this feeling of frustration just vanished. 🎉
@MartinKPettersson to the person who committed about "self doubt" because of the comments and decided to take down your post. For myself, the comment section isn't the area I look at when it comes to trying to understand what the person creating the video is trying to say. The comments are just other people own understanding which may or may not resonate with the meaning the producers of the video is trying to say. When I read comments and try to aline my understanding with others, I get very confused. Seeing this in myself led me to just listen to the video and see if I can aline with it or not and if not that ok. I look around at different people channels and see which one I can resonate with. The way Angelo speaks resonates with me. Pay no attention to what others say about it, that's their own place of reference, which doesn't necessarily relate to what resonates with where you're at. That's okay, don't allow that to stop yourself from your own journey.
@@mike-t02 I saw someone commented before but didn't have time to answer and don't even remember what they said. I've been interacting with seekers, spiritual people or whatever you like to call yourself and I find it interesting to try to understand why they make all the arguments and conclusions that they do. I found my own way of approaching practice that skips the whole analysing and understanding through self inquiry. Instead I focus directly on what I call distortion which is basically the way you push or pull against the world around you. Angelo says some interesting things and it's clear he wants to help people. I might dissagre with drawing as many conclusions as he and many others in non duality faith practices do but many people enjoy that kind of mental gymnastics and it seems to help some aswell. I think you're in good hands if you've chosen to listen to Angelo :)
Absolute mental Tom Foolery! How is it that you managed to predict ahead of time exactly what I was going to say during Q&A?! You truly are a wizard mate!
I was looking at my happy little cat, and she was purring away not a care in the world, and I thought "there's not a thought behind those eyes", how nice that must be
I feel like no matter whether I'm doing any awakening work or not it is progressing on its own. I'm now sensing that all thoughts and everything in the mind is sort of artificial and bro this is invisible, words, where, in the head??? That's ridiculous
Trying to hold myself in the gap would be formation again, coming into form, for lack of a better word. It's so fascinating how the mind grabs and grabs onto anything it can get, like a drowning person. There is compassion for this, but also this feeling of not needing the cocoon anymore, but who's saying and thinking and feeling all that. Feels like a lot of things are spinning up in the air. I guess it's laundry day :D
I am having a hard time with the "need to understand" : sometimes in the comments people (it could be me) ask for an explanation or express what they gathered, and then someone else will answer or say it is not true or whatever, and I feel like I may be completely off in my understanding and that I need more explanations, etc... I think it is doubt, not about awakening or the truth of "I am consciousness", but doubt about my ability to know this or that I don't belong here, talking with people about awakening, or whatever... what a conundrum 😔
TH-cam videos are like thoughts. As you identify with content in the video, so to do we identify with content in the thought. If the video is the thought, then the comment section is thoughts about thoughts.
Imo, Letting go (of thoughts )is the most simple and direct but also hardest ,,undertake” on the spiritual journey to truth. The ego is a sneaky beast. It could be so simple. Basking in pure presence and in the joy of being. But the ego hates the unknown😂 it’s afraid.
In listening and watching nondual videos(mostly yours these days- thank you😊), I am so curious what drives you teachers to keep putting out these videos? It seems to come from something? It seems as if there is something powerful (no better word comes to mind now) that must be put into words? I have heard you say that there are some people who are awake, but never speak a word about it, but then how would one know that? Can a person keep that to themselves? I see teachers as having to speak as much as they have to breathe. Even when I have a shift or insight, I find myself having to say it out loud (to myself?) I am just curious what that is? Is the same thing? Does this make sense? I really hope you respond, Angelo!
What I am curious about is what drives the speaking? I am a speech/language pathologist and I am particularly interested in what drives teachers to express this content on the way that they do. I am wondering if we looked more closely at it, it could impact the quality of how a person listens, expresses, and relates.
I think that the way people describe being awakened is simply such a small shift (unless you chose to make it a big thing) that it really doesn't need to make a big mark in your life. Unless you chose to let it. I've seen more people get carried away by the idea of being "awake" than I have people simply seing it as something that happend and now I have a bit more clarity in certain areas. The drive in most awakened people probably isn't that different from someone who isn't awakend tbh.
Paul, I thought it was interesting your follow up ? about how or why I speak the way I do in real time. When I talk about this "topic" as in guided meditation, QA and Talks, it strangely comes one word at a time. I remember reading about large language models and how they construct answers and I read they actually choose one word at a time based on their data set and training. That's actually how it feels to speak in this way. Like it comes out of nowhere.

This is probably one of the most overlooked things when people start doing this kind of inquiry :)

The "problem" is not a thought
Solid gold! Angelo, your an inspiration!
5:10 "it's too big" I hear that a lot
perfectly clear 🎯🙏🙏🙏

Pride and a prison. So freaking true. Exactly. “Then defend.” Thank you! Like you are in my head watching the dialogue going on.
And leveraging- has your life been satisfying. That’s the leveraging point that resonates tremendously. I have heard you say this in multiple videos.
🎯♥😶 🙏☮ Happy Holidays to everyone
Thanks for sharing this, wishing love, grace, courage and understanding of the mystery for all

Interesting how this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.
this is very helpful...thank you.
You're welcome!
Hey Angelo! How is project audiobook progressing?
Thanks for what you are doing!
It’s available! Check links under vids

So helpful!!!
I have a dumb question: What if someone has already gone through a proper awakening and doesn’t know it? How would they know & follow through?
TH-cam videos are like thoughts.
As you identify with content in the video, so to do we identify with content in the thought.
If the video is the thought, then the comment section is thoughts about thoughts.
🙏🙏🙏
what if i'm already awake?

The ego doesn’t want to die or else its story would end and all the other ego stories too, but then Consciousness likes to dream.
@@brigitteh4825 true, but there is nothing but the dream. The dream is consciousness. The question is if you are you lucid or not.
@@dobmaster8208 I prefer to say there’s nothing but consciousness.
The dream is really nothing, and so is the ego. All running on empty.
The Dreamer is what everything actually IS....impeccable and never bound.
