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.

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.

The bad news: There's no good news.
The good news: There's no bad news.
😂🤣😂🤣
There is no news.
@@apparently_sonam Thanks for the newsflash. 😄
You have to understand that understanding is what is keeping you from understanding. Holy moly the tornado is grabbing me again lol.
There's an idea tha awakening is a special process. Life can beat the individual down in heavy ways, but that yearning for specialness never drops and is so strong that we take the easier path of being special by not being special.
The good news, as stated, is that awakening is for everyone
The bad news is that its not special. You're not special... and that can hurt to feel.... until it doesnt 😉❤️🔥
I'm not sure yet if I've had an awakening, but I did have an awesome experience in the forest a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I've found that although everything feels less serious, I engage with life more than ever. Stress, anger, joy, confusion, everything feels so much richer and more fun, even the "negative" emotions. At the same time, if it gets overwhelming I'm able to step out of the role of the one who's experiencing the emotions, as if the director says cut and I can remove myself from the scene. But the thing is, it hasn't gotten overwhelming. Life is simultaneously way more fun and way more mundane.
I read a quote once about an awakened teacher who still had anger issues. One day when he was angrily kicking some guests out of his home, a student said "Are you really enlightened? You're still so mad all the time." The reply was "Yes, but I no longer suffer from it." That's kind of how it feels. I feel these days like even when anger is happening, it's all performative and there's a sense of fun and joy. Anger or swearing or yelling (within reason) is just how my body, psyche, whatever knows how to interact with the world. It's so funny! So dry! So mundane! What a funny life! 😂
Interesting. I think I've been feeling sort of the same way, but couldn't put it into words
Haha! Nice. I’m not going to make any claims about my state but your story reminds me of a day about 7 years ago where I was driving and in fairly heavy traffic.
The timing was, I just got off work, it was 5pm and like myself, lots of us were probably just trying to get out of traffic and get home right? So there was some tension in the air and I could read it it the faces of people in their cars.
A couple years prior to this I had an awakening of sorts where I saw the absurdity of getting angry in or at traffic and or people in traffic. I saw that my getting blown out of shape over things I have no control over, not to mention that I have no clue where anyone is going in their cars nor why they might be driving the way they’re driving, (the could be rushing to the hospital for all I know) was my minds creation.
I saw “oh, I’m making this anger and discontent” so it dropped.
I digress.
So I’m in traffic, someone pulls in front of me almost hitting me and causing me to have to respond quickly.
No accident happened so no big deal. I just calmly drove on. Then the thought occured to me “you should act angry and scream and yell (alone, in my car) at that driver.
So I did. I played out this little pretend anger scene, pretended to get all enraged, yelled and cussed a little bit and I watched as awareness I guess and I laughed and laughed.
When I was done I said to myself “now that was funny” as if it were a scene out of a movie.
I still remember it clear as day.
I let the character play out a little scene just for fun as “I” watched completely detached.
It was SO funny.
Some of your recent videos about stopping is resonating with me. Would appreciate it if you had another one about stopping. I realize how absurd this sounds me asking someone to make a video about stopping. Next i may ask you make a video about breathing, or blinking or sneezing 😂
Bingo!💙
Did u self realize or something? XD
An old friend jumped out of perfectly operating aircraft 41 times, but one hint of interrogating that activity psychologically was like summoning the national guard. This was like an orange alert for me; from what was I running? This is long ago and far away - which do not exist. Fears are intensely selective.
The end of this video had me laughing out loud especially the part about how rough the shadow work can feel and how that thought that time will allow it to pass won't be there to soothe you, OMG yes! I don't know if this is a thing but lately I've been questioning everything! When I mean everything, I mean everything too! I don't know why but it's hard to feel into the moment whether it's an authenticity thing or whether it's my mind/ego being a complete jerk. It's very uncomfortable and definitely shed a lot of tears recently. Anyways, totally worth it!
I’m really tripping out on your background. So pretty 😻
You are such a fucking good teacher. The best yet, for sure. Thank you Angelo ❤
At times I feel like I’m possessed and overtaken by my shadow. I find that extremely challenging as it feels like a rather nightmarish trip that I can’t terminate no matter what. It eventually stops and I feel traumatised but also relived that it has stopped 😅
I feel like I'm constantly at the edge now. The mind roads have mostly been exhausted. I say mostly because I'm sure there's still more the mind will try to persue. But, basically I'm at a point where I would have turned to a new program or new something and it's actually very uncomfortable to stay with the normal. It's that "something" that I've run from my whole life. That "something" I've tried to get to the bottom of through therapy and all. It's now obvious that the mind will never work out how to move past that "something" because the mind is protecting that "something". The mind might even be that "something" lol. It's not even a case of surrender. It's a case of not doing anything and allow life to take me where I need to go.
The material does process much faster now but at the same time when I'm in it, it feels like its all there is.
❤❤❤Truth
it's a not knowing,what's going on ❣️Mustn‘t be known ❣️
Faaaaaaaack….. totally feeling that bad news. I have said to myself many times it’s like I do t want to know. Something doesn’t want any of this. Awakening is almost my only concern of everyday for a few years but I can sense something is working against it self. Tells itself what it wants to hear to dodge the next step. Trickery of tricking itself into thinking it knows how to do this. Idk 🤷♂️
I fricking love you Angelo. I don’t understand any of it while at the same time resonating with lots of it.
I’d like to avoid the 9th circle of hell.
Ive had enough mental and emotional hell realms 😂
In fact in 2012 after a suicide attempt when I was DOA I was in an actual hell realm for an indeterminate amount of time. I assume it was while I was dead before I was revived.
The hellish mental state remained for a couple weeks after too.
I took it as a message from source that it doesn’t approve suicide so now I’m just waiting it out.
Every few months there’s a pleasant day and I enjoy being seemingly embodied. The rest is just watching the clock afraid of both death and life.
My head tells me I’m not going to get this. I’m unworthy, not smart enough, to intellectual, to mind identified etc etc.
I’m in the 5th chapter of your book and gawddamn it’s SO good.
You’re such a timely and inspiring presence for me.
I feel like I'm in purgatory. I haven't had any significant spiritual insight, but yet I can't go back to how I experienced before either. My gut tells me this is real but nothing else does. What a shit situation 😂
Wishing love, grace, courage and understanding for all. Thank you for helping us and Thanks for sharing truth, 🎯♥😶 🙏 love, grace,peace and understanding of it to all asap.
"The path... has many, many spaces that will be... surprisingly difficult". "It can be far more challenging than most people realize, these shadow spaces." These challenging periods are always temporary. "But the deeper this goes, the less that will be reassuring to you, **because you can't stand back from experience anymore** and go 'Oh, well, at least it'll pass.' " A 9th circle of hell experience, indeed. This is part of the unexpectedness for me. How the old ways of holding experience in a space of knowing (a' la psychological technique or awareness of impermanence), where there is some form of a spacious container or holding space just are not the way to go with these experiences. The way is **in** -- into immersion. But now there is a capacity such that rather than being hijacked by these experiences, and even while these experiences can be intense enough that there are thoughts like, "I'm not sure I can hold more than this. Actually, I'm not sure if I can even stand to be with as much intensity as is happening now." somehow I can stay with them. When I'm not avoiding them, that is.
There is a way that for me, these experiences of immersion in what Angelo is calling "raw emotions without the dualistic benefit of going up into your mind and running away from it" feels subjectively as if something in or of me is being shredded away in some way, and at the same time there is some kind of expansion going on. Most or all of my old tried-and-true methods for being with experience fail to help, and I have to rely on more primal ways of letting go (and at times calling for ~Help!~). There is definitely a sense that meeting (immersing into) this experience requires a kind of 'going into the void, naked and alone.' For me this is very different from the ego death that is the transcendence experience.
I've also noticed that as these immersive experiences into raw emotion cycle through, there is definitely a noticeable progressive substantial increase in the holding capacity. These also feel different than a dark night of the soul experience. And minutes or hours later, things can have shifted so much that I'm feel easeful and happy and joyous and playful. Quite the roller coaster ride for me, as there become fewer and fewer handholds that can be grabbed onto as the ride progresses.
As the saying goes, I know this is what I wanted, I know this is what I asked for, but I had no idea it would be like ~this!!!~. Rock n Roll, baby! 🤪
Thanks for your reflections
How does one let go of all beliefs, paradigms, thoughts, concepts? I intuit that you're correct, in that this will allow, even for a moment, a glimpse of "awakening" but I can't seem to arrive at that place.
Where do your beliefs, paradigms, thoughts And concepts come from? Inquire there.
Nice t-shirt. Sometimes I see this during meditation.
Till now the most phisically painful and challenging is the contraction in the gut. 😵 It's like an iron circle across that area and staying with that energy is REALLY uncomfortable. 😶😐 And when is together with arising emotions it's like a Victorian freak show. 😑 The pressure in the head and eyes can also be very exhausting.. In the end its seen here that the "process" it's made through the body at phisical level. Neverending contraction and expansion. 😁 Pushing the boulder like Sisifus.. 😅😂
Yes it's so somatic, it seems to be a bodily process as much as anything else
@@FetterMuncher666 Yes. Totally agree. It seems so. And the same time the invisible formless field is expanding along with the energy movements and the releases and dissolving.. 😁😊 Have a blessed day, much love. 🙏❤️🌹
You are describing exactly what I’m cyclically going through physically 😳 little cherry on the cake is also that I feel as if I’ve swallowed psychoactive poison all at the same time.. it’s a hell of a contraction 😂
@@ice.immortal Yes. Exactly. I forgot this to mention. 😂🤣😂 I'm sitting with it without thoughts in silence, trying to not make a goal to get rid of it. 😵🤣😂 Oh well.. Patience and openness it's the key, but still sooo uncomfortable. 😳🙄 And to be completely honest I try to accept it, but it's not authentic because in fact I can't. 😅🤣 Much love. 🙏♥️

Hey Angelo, where’d you get the voice chanting sound for the background?
It sounds fantastic and I’d love to sample it if at all possible.
Great video and thanks again like always for the pointers!
That choir in the background is awesome! :D Composes well with the eye on t-shirt.
Thank you Angelo. I’m so grateful for the videos you make. They shed a lot of light onto the pathway. I can almost tap into what you’re pointing at, if only for brief moments. Thank you 🙏
okay, drop all my previous messages. it stopped now. everything stopped I think I would like to talk with you (private) or online I don’t care. guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you I love you and trust you and me and this. thank you
It's hard to pinpoint exactly "where" I am in awakening. I've experienced what I consider many breakthroughs, but there really isn't anything different in contrast to what I had though going into the game. It's still like -"what? oh okay." Cool.
I'm still relatively young to the degree of spirituality even, and I enjoy the process being nonsensical and relative to my surroundings and choices.
The bad news: lacking full time bunnies and birdies!
ohhweeo hoechemen. sorry. lol.
love it Angaleo.
LOVE the music and the background
9th circle of hell 😂
Thanks for the video. Can you say something about the difference (if there is one) between facing suffering in a productive way and an unproductive way? When I hear about the “bad news” teachings like you gave here, I feel the impulse to go looking for suffering because I want to bring myself closer to awakening. Is this productive? I worry about manufacturing suffering or wallowing in suffering or that the suffering will be too much and destabilize my life and my mental/ emotional heath. Should you go looking for suffering and when suffering is there, how should you handle it? Accept it with the mind? Feel it in a somatic kind of way? Investigate it? Do nothing? What exactly are you supposed to do with it?
I have a question about enquiry. Isn't it thought doing the enquiry? When I enquire 'What is here', isn't that thought asking? Thanks for everything Angelo
Q: I'm going through a period of more clarity than ever before. And at the same time I'm having a lot of various physical issues with the body popping up. Some issues I've never had before. Some recurrence of previous issues. Is this normal? I remember back in 2017 I went to a workshop that quickly induced a profound level of clarity, and on the second night of the workshop I had to go to the emergency department due to internal bleeding. Is this a thing that others have experienced?
An aha moment and feeling funny
Already free , and still the effort happening..
Real joke😂😂
If you truly “let go of all paradigms, all views, all beliefs for one moment” (9:55), you’d be liberated for that moment, wouldn’t you? So does awakening happen in a moment of liberation?
Once I ask the question, Who/What am I?, what do I do next?
❤
Thank you for this Angelo. What would you say to someone who is scared to continue the awakening path because of the 'bad news' you presented? Is it possible to 'stop' after a certain point (for example after breaking the 6th fetter) and remain there forever? Genuine curious and thank you for all you do!
Anything is possible but it’s unlikely. You will be ready to move on as you proceed generally speaking.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Thank you Angelo
Anyone know what the background chanting is? I like
1:50 seems like a joke…sometimes when a very mind-identified person is complaining and creating drama, I have a powerful urge to break into uncontrollable laughter, but I don’t want to be a jerk😂 Finding my own story to be utterly tedious, I can no longer be complicit in anyone’s story.
Thank you? 😳🤣
What are we awakening from, after all? If it’s here, then why all this seeking. Okay so we don’t see it clearly, we’re myopic, not everyone has 20/15 vision. So there’s a blur, a short sight, but it’s here, so what exactly are we awakening from? Is this awakening like getting a lasik surgery so we can see better? Okay, we see better. But is the same, good vision or bad vision. So what is the point of this awakening? Prada eyeglasses frames?
🙂🙃😔😒😉😌
This has nothing to do with awakening, but with the process leading to it 🤦🏿♂️
