I found a good pointer for myself. It's not unique per say, but it came from my intuition and it's as authentic and genuine an inquiry can be for me. I don't literally ask this in my head, but It's something like; "why is it that I even register anything to begin with?" Or "how am I even aware of anything as being?" It really is a slippery slope into glimpsing non-duality for me. It all just collapses but it's never permanent as my mind comes in to make it a thing. It's difficult to phrase this pointer accurately but it's a version of "being aware of awareness" or "look for what's looking".
I had this experience a couple days ago. It only lasted a few minutes, but there is no doubt in my mind I had a glimpse . Why is it gone, and how do I get it back......so frustrating. It was like there was no timeline and everything opened up in front of me.
Once it is seen as a glimpse, that is what it remains. Nothing is gone, nothing here, nothing, no thing... there. All of everything and nothing remain in front of you. 🙏
From a friend. One can observe, first that it is easy to turn an experience into a thought, a memory. memory itself, even of experience, is a quality of thought, a form, or image that has been reconstructed in thought. after realizing that the memory of the experience is just that, a memory, a thought, simply let the thought be just that. Allow, observe. The thought will come, then go, and the rest unfolds as it will from there. Like the Beatles song, Let It Be.🤜🤛 Like Ringo says, Peace and Love. Continue to simply enjoy what comes as it does, and allow worries about what will or will not happen fall to the wayside. Worries are themselves, just that. They come and go.
😊Just give up. This could be said to be a practice of utter failure. "Let it go" could be rephrased as "I" give up..."I'm" so tired of trying...let it be heartbreakingly true. Also *hugs
The trick is to overcome the tendency to assume something had changed in that moment. In fact, there was an apparent glimpse, and then an apparent loss of that glimpse. But during both states, there was awareness. You are That.
It is interesting how itcis described by others... The 1st hand experience here, is like an empty room...whether inside, or outside, it has an empty room feel to it
I'm BEYOND ready to enter this mystery of sound...or just the mystery! "if your able to enter this mystery"....AM I able?? I don't know! That word IF is so elusive! UGH!
The finger pointing at the moon, is not the moon. Felt Oneness with Being, is so simple, and so subtle, that it is completely overlooked by the mind. The mind is the main obstacle, because Consciousness is identified with the mind, and the mind is a survival tool that selects and interprets information based upon the survival needs of the mind/body. When the mind hears Spiritual information/concepts, it filters and selects those parts that serve its identity. It is quite a paradox. Teachings, contemplation, meditation, can be so helpful, because when followed they help open a Space where Awareness can reflect upon itself. Peace and the absence of thought are indicators that Consciousness/Awareness is arising. Satchitananda: Being, Consciousness, Bliss. Consciousness basking in itself. The inherent Joy of Being.
In this scene, the organism, will be playing the part of the character who is watching a video on youtube about Non Duality ,in an attempt to wake up,and of course ,comment about this, in a sort self reflective rhetoric in the comment section , this type of 4d wall breaking within the narrative becomes a hindrance to the audience who are at this point willingly suspending their disbelief but the show must go on??
Keena, your true self already knows but the seeker is obstructing the seeker from awakening. Our illusionary self is wanting our illusionary self to Awaken. As your separate independent self evaporates Awakening arises in awareness.
@@keena1487 I'll go with you! I've already started to unsub from most teachers, starting with the neo-Advaita "uncompromising" Newman/Parsons stuff. The seeking is sucking my life dry. I'm tired and just done. Giving up and taking a walk today instead.
How long does a nondual experience last for? Once you experience it, is that enlightenment? Or does that take longer? How quickly can you arrive to this state now and how often do you do it?
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake thank you! Ive had glimpses and short bursts that come out in the form of gutteral laughter I think what they call satori. Your videos have helped a lot
Does awakening usually lead to non duality? If you had an awakening, and now you are in a place of equanimity, with more and more realization of ‘no self’, does it mean that at some point the non duality realization will happen?
I watched recently a video, a satsang of a spiritual teacher from the Ramana lineage that said something very unexpected. "The fastest way to enlightment is to respect one rule: what I think is what I speak and what I do." I pondered on this since then.. 😅🤣 What's the truth behind this statement!? No residues? Of any kind?? Please be so kind dear, maybe in a future video to shed some light on this subject. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day🙏😇💗💓🌹

So it is about getting rid of the homunculus in the head and the homunculus had been formed by memory, conditioning, overrationality, inner observers, etc. 😮

To add to what happens for me;
I realize that it all just appears on it's own, that I can't find a self who's confirming the existence.
Great inquiries!
This is key, finding what works for you
@Accurate predictions “what is here right now that is not a thought?”
@Accurate predictions I'm also in and out of this and kind of forgot how I even ended up here. Keep going, I think something is happening atleast lol.

Marianne, our illusionary self will continue to want our illusionary self to awaken further. Impossible. Allow and accept; without seeking.
Once it is seen as a glimpse, that is what it remains. Nothing is gone, nothing here, nothing, no thing... there.
All of everything and nothing remain in front of you. 🙏

Reminds me of being in a theatre 9th row, hundreds of us completely engaged with one teacher - that looked directly into everyone’s eyes 😊
For me I was told that my life is source, having a dream. That was enough for me, and I keep reminding myself of it as it comes and goes.
So walking around without seeing yourself for all your life didn't work?
that which is never ceases to be, that which is not never comes into being.

First awakening first, it will largely break that spell of wanting to KNOW
On this spiritual journey, I have become bipolar. There are times I see my higher self and then I crash and burn. How do I stabilise myself?
Equanimity work (per the playlist).
Hi Angelo. Are there any particular meditations on your app that are specific to what you are pointing to?
Check out his videos called. “How to be in two places at once “ and “Experience Radiant Nature “
Not sure about the app
The nonduality playlist here specifically
@@tonyt1551 thank you. I'll let you know how it goes!
How long does a nondual experience last for? Once you experience it, is that enlightenment? Or does that take longer? How quickly can you arrive to this state now and how often do you do it?
An experience of non-duality can last minutes, hours. Realization is not the same as experience and it is irreversible.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake thank you! Ive had glimpses and short bursts that come out in the form of gutteral laughter I think what they call satori. Your videos have helped a lot
Tell me how often you recognize the need for a mirror? Too simple.
there is longing and there is fear
Does awakening usually lead to non duality? If you had an awakening, and now you are in a place of equanimity, with more and more realization of ‘no self’, does it mean that at some point the non duality realization will happen?
Yes
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Thanks! ✨
You are always aware of the need for a mirror to see your face. Stop playing around and simply see your position as the number one player.
Angelo, when is your next retreat? Are you doing anything online soon?
Online yes, check the website :)
is consciousness infinite, like the number of green screen images you have?
It’s infinitely infinite 😃
In TM venacular you went from "cosmic consciousness" to "god consciousness" to "Unity consciousness".
