He was outspoken and didn't care of what the others thought. He was ahead of time, preaching the spirituality and not the dogma.Unfortunatelly he paid dearly, passing away early at age of 55. Great, his teachings are precious in this time of spiritual awakening which is MUST for some people
I love the book! As I read it I can hear his voice...It is a total eye opener and those that want easy answers and "how to" lists would not like the book. It forces the reader to question everything and to ponder. It is critical thinking at its best. I am re-reading it because every time I do I find more passages to chew on. Lectio Divina for sure. An inner dialogue with myself and God. Beautiful!
This book changed my life. The final kick for me was newspaper vendor story. Oh how painful it was to actually implement it in my life. But what a treasure I found...
Observation is everything. De Mello really hit the nail on the head. I remember an inmate at the County Jail asking me, "How do I know that God loves Me?" I told her, "just breath." She understood.
After all the philosopher I digged and digged back to ancient Greek. None like Anthony DeMello. Who put my heart and mind at rest and let the life flow around me. 🙏🏻
I'm blown away by this talk, especially how he goes over the drug of approval. Look at the world of today, especially social media like instagram and everything else. We're seeking the approval of others and yet ultimately it has no value. But damn it's so deep-rooted and thus so difficult to see through this illusion. But Anthony says at 1:02:38: "If you can understand this my dear friends the understanding will melt the addiction. And you will be free and you will understand the loveliness of what prayer is. Then you will discover what reality is, what god is, because you will have dropped one of the biggest illusions: the illusion that we need to be appreciated, to be popular, to succeed, to have prestige and honor and popularity. There's only one need and that need is to be real and that need is to love. When one discovers that, one is transformed one's life becomes prayer."
Am presently reading a book of comments by people who encountered Tony in their lives. I am deeply grateful to be able to hear him talking and to be able to recognise for myself his beautiful awareness, affirming our own inner power in creating our realities, and recognising the value of our every experience. Many many thanks to nobody really, creator of this account.
Anthony DeMello famously said: “The first thing to realize if you want to wake up is that you DON’T want to wake up...” Our somatic programming DOES NOT want to wake up (aka: deprogram). Instead of listening to and believing the resistance/repression - which can look like feeling stuck and dysregulated, among other things - we can just expect it. Here’s just a few tricky ways that repression can show up in our experience: 1. Nervous System Dysregulation 2. Addictive Behavior 3. Anxiety and Depression 4. Chronic Pain 5. Compulsive Enemy Making 6. Chronic Self-Doubt 7. Brain Fog and Confusion 8. Bouts of Self-Hatred / Self-Attack 9. Isolating and/or Withdrawing 10. Choice-less Approval Seeking and Giving Our Power Away to Others 💚
At the beginning of my awakening I became totally nihilistic, I don’t like the system (governments, schools, etc.) so I became bitter with the world and I think a lot of us go through it and after some time you get tired of feeling bitter and you start to live your life, but without a care, at this point all I want is peace, health and enough money to live comfortable but I also find peace in not being attached to material things and I know that nature makes me feel peace, a good view on a park makes me feel peace, big winds in the middle of trees give me peace, a good sunset gives me peace! It started as a coping mechanism and now I actually enjoy it and need it, stress kills so I don’t really be stressing anymore as I used to, I totally let go and I'm not scared of death, so that is liberating.
As a academic, I have studied so much abt EVERYTHING, so as I thought. Then, I stumbled across Mello. ..and WOW, it changed my perception on life and of myself. TY TY TH-cam for this rare and precious FIND. At 45yo, his works and findings have taken me on a new and different trajectory. ..for the BETTER ❤
Thanks Nobody. I was able to see a lot of videos a few years ago of Father de Mello and then poof they disappeared. His message is about the closest thing to perfection that humans should incorporate to live in well-being. Please uncover and share more from him if you can. You share in the rewards and goodness your 18000 viewers have received. I for one salute you.
Dear nobody, thanks for this. I had watched parts now and then but never the full extract. Your channel made me discover Vernon Howard, and I started reading The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power. I thought I had read everything and listened to everybody, but the insight now is very original and powerful. At some point in the beginning of the book he talks about the picnic being rained out, or the broken promise, which have no effect on us, only our reaction to them. This was written in 1967 and I realise Anthony deMello is using the same examples almost like quoting the book, in this video. Some 20 years after. Very happy to have discovered Vernon Howard and thanks again no one (or maybe better thanks the One to bring me on the Path again)
"The One" :) Thanks for the feedback. That book is a gold mine. Also, Esoteric Mind Power - is another worth getting a copy of. It is amazing how we will allow things that are entirely out of our control to bring us into a negative state. Unconsciously - Mechanically reacting negatively to things. The immaturity of it all. Having repeated it so many times, we have become addicted to the Crap but would deny it despite the self-evident signs. Patterns of repetitive behaviors with negative consequences. Why not respond appropriately instead of reacting? is it not a choice? How much must we suffer before we make change where we can? "It is as simple as this: We cannot cling to our negative emotions without paying the price." - V.H.
6:27: If your being is good, your works will be good. Transform your being by seeing, not by fixing yourself. 15:48: It is not life that is hard, it's you who takes it hard. 18:58: Programming. No thing ever hurt you but your conditioning, from the way you see life. 57:48: Soul feelings and world feelings. Competition: winning is a thrill, an excitement. 1:00:37: Being controlled by world feelings, marching at the beat of other people's drum. We live on ideas 1:08:28: What love is not: attraction, dependance, desire. Strong emotions distort the seeing. The illusory images we hold on our heads about who the other is. Clarity of perception is required.
I was very depressed and stressed over Christmas I am every Christmas and I realised Christmas just pushes my buttons, but I also realised that all that stress inside of me needed to be examined because before I’d just buried it and as I say it came back every year. Funny thing now Christmas is over I am experiencing true happiness for no reason at all just because nothing is pushing my buttons. So I urge everyone to examine your stressful thoughts all that unconscious programming because as long as it’s buried you will go on having your buttons pushed.
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 all that running and travelling outside (and all that "stupid" - so called " parnterships" are completely in vain . . . as long as you avoid contact with your innermost self via your inner (3rd) eye . . .
I also love listening to Krishnamurti's talks. Krishnamurti said something like, "So long as there's a centre, there will be conflict." The centre is the same as the thinker and the observer. With this in mind, then so long as you identify as the centre (which is of the past), then the drug of approval will go on? And it's only when there is no centre/observer/thinker operating that this drug comes to an end?
He saying you dont miss people that is unnatural. Connecting to your kids is very important. He is reflecting from his own personal experience which he taught himself to be ok with how he chose to live.
Right - it’s no big deal to have clouds even all the time. I had clouds but thought I wasn’t supposed to but fekt joy regardless. Then I had life collapse to all health mund body lost and suffering greatly. Now I’m trying to remember it’s all ok.. clouds here maybe to stay but not judge clouds. Programming thst this is So bad abd before I was So good. One is prefered but no one better or the other. Agh. Way we react to failure.. I’m failing at reacting well bc it feels So sad bc I loved my physical mental state and thus is beyond anything bc sensory input so hard on me as well.
I love this guy. Great wisdom. However, i do find his story about the man who teaches fire and got poisoned to death (03:50) very eerie. Rumour has it Anthony De Mello was poisoned to death by people who didn't like his teachings. I can only hope these rumours aren't true.
I've pondered the same after hearing the story. There are other story's of his that gave me the impression he was referencing himself as to what happens when you speak the Truth (bringing light to things that others don't want to be seen.)
nah, I doubt Tony de Mello was killed. He had some type of cardio vascular problem his brother Bill said. i think the plane journey from India to the US may have triggered DVT (deep vein thrombosis). That's why some people wear those flight-socks on airplanes. What a loss for humanity.
When I hear the story about the man teaching the art of making fire, I think of Jesus given DeMello's catholic audience and the different picture that paints of priests or so-called saints, hence DeMellos's quote; "Sinners have often spoken the truth and saints have led people astray. Listen to what is said and not who is saying it." DeMello was liberated from identification with the body and from any single path that proclaimed itself the only and true path to God- not excluding Catholicism. He was truly fearless and spent his days purposefully and passionately leaving these morsels of truth for us. Those like his brother Bill who feel Anthony was taken prematurely sadly did not understand the fact that Anthony reminded us that nothing in life is premature just as he proclaimed that there are no bastard children and no national borders in reality. He spent his days lovingly pointing to ths; "All I did was sit on the riverbank handing out river water. After I’m gone, I trust you will notice the river.” (I was friends with Bill DeMello on Facebook before deleting my acct 2 years ago. And Bill said the church refused an autopsy. Anthony was treated as the property of the church, end of story. Bill also expressed with great sadness that Anthony had recently had a physical and was given a clean bill of health shortly before his sudden death.) The church definitely saw him as a threat and I feel took him out; nevertheless, Anthony was more than ready for the inevitable. Remember, he says, "You want to take my life?! Go right ahead! He also proclaimed, "Enlightenment is absolute cooperation with the inevitable. " He was in this world but no longer of it which is why he wrote and spoke so fearlessly. "There were rules in the monastery, but the Master always warned against the tyranny of the law. ‘Obedience keeps the rules,’ he would say. ‘Love knows when to break them.’”
race and elegance is his delivery, and articulately expresses the wordless ... I found him years ago when I used to read books and now on Audible. Does anyone know if there is anywhere to download mp3s of his works? I found Awareness in mp3 after purchasing on Audible and before buying any more would like to know if any others are available for at home listening especially during the night, I don't need the video.
There are three stages in one’s spiritual development,” said the Master. “The carnal, the spiritual and the divine.” “What is the carnal stage?” asked the eager disciples. “That’s the stage when trees are seen as trees and mountains as mountains.” “And the spiritual?” “That’s when one looks more deeply into things-then trees are no longer trees and mountains no longer mountains.” “And the divine?” “Ah, that’s Enlightenment,” said the Master with a chuckle, “when trees become trees again and mountains, mountains. ❤
I'm not sure if this is it but here's A series of programs - containing several "spiritual / awareness exercises." th-cam.com/video/8t_PSw3a24o/w-d-xo.html
It’s not but thanks! Always happy to discover more of this amazing guy. Many thanks. I have the awareness book - it’s a really good one. Let’s hope we find it. Xx
I've read the Awareness book while comparing it to his actual talk and something was a bit off putting about how it had been edited in some places. Especially with the claim on the book that it's "in His Own Words." In the begging of the book: Awareness - A de Mello Spirituality Conference in His Own Words. (Published after his death) It is written: "Do you think I am going to help anybody? No! Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Don’t expect me to be of help to anyone." (page 6) In reality he said, "Do you think I'm going to help anybody? Oh no, no, no, no. I don't expect to be able to be of help to anyone." th-cam.com/video/vjj4gkikPZk/w-d-xo.html Editing "I don't expect to be able to be of help to anyone." into "Don’t expect me to be of help to anyone." conveys a different message, painting a negative picture in my opinion. I really find this a rather questionable edit. This paired with the church condemning his writings, I think that some people that heard the warning, but decided to explore anyways, might have read this and stopped, thinking the church might be right. ... This is just one example, in the first few paragraphs of the book.
Awareness - Anthony Demello Audiobook archive.org/details/AwarenessAnthonyDemelloAudiobook There is a 9.5 hour version of this book but it has some overlapping. But this is "in His Own Words", before the editor screwed with them...
The only thing contradictory in his statements i would say is that "you can be happy and depressed at the same time" which does not make sense for me, depression is the exact opposite of happiness.
1:00:40 His message is much more _alive_ nowadays in our time - the times of the *new @bn0Rmal* - than it was back then. _God Bless Fr. Anthony de Mello's pure❤Soul_ . 🙏✨✨
Now if someone can explain to me how as society we moved from this to we need to change the world to be safe and feel accepted rather than trying to change ourselves
It all might be a case of mistaken identity. What’s interesting is you and the God of the Bible both identify with “I Am”. You believe you are atheist, A•theist is what? A = determiner. Theist = belief in a deity. Atheist = a theist
I have a question regarding these teachings. So if we lose all our need for others' approval and all our fear of others' judgments, how is one's moral conduct ensured and enforced? Does this approach not validate sociopathic behaviour?
Observe yourself, your thoughts and behavior, without judgment. Seek to understand yourself.. Awareness is what is called for. That is what demello is pointing to. If you truly desire to growth you will listen to demello with the intent of learning something new. Listen and you will teach yourself.
this man is a treasure trove of truth and wisdom
Amen
He was outspoken and didn't care of what the others thought. He was ahead of time, preaching the spirituality and not the dogma.Unfortunatelly he paid dearly, passing away early at age of 55. Great, his teachings are precious in this time of spiritual awakening which is MUST for some people
Throughout time, true Angels never stayed here longer than Their allotted lesson/s schedule.
Unfortunately or fortunately?
@@cesar_conscientemente Yes.
He was murdered.
He died of a heart attack.. please read up before passing judgemental comments
Anthony de Mello is so underrated. His book Awareness kicks ass
Best book I’ve ever read. About 20 times.
Underrated for underrated understanding minds.

We need Anthony de mello in our schools, I'm so grateful for his knowledge and wisdom 🙏
“Suffering means you’re fighting it” isn’t that the truth! Wonderful talk
Anthony DeMello famously said:
“The first thing to realize if you want to wake up
is that you DON’T want to wake up...”
Our somatic programming DOES NOT want to wake up (aka: deprogram).
Instead of listening to and believing the resistance/repression -
which can look like feeling stuck and dysregulated, among other things -
we can just expect it.
Here’s just a few tricky ways that repression can show up in our experience:
1. Nervous System Dysregulation
2. Addictive Behavior
3. Anxiety and Depression
4. Chronic Pain
5. Compulsive Enemy Making
6. Chronic Self-Doubt
7. Brain Fog and Confusion
8. Bouts of Self-Hatred / Self-Attack
9. Isolating and/or Withdrawing
10. Choice-less Approval Seeking and Giving Our Power Away to Others
💚
Any resources you’d recommend to learn more?
At the beginning of my awakening I became totally nihilistic,
I don’t like the system (governments, schools, etc.) so I became bitter with the world and
I think a lot of us go through it and after some time you get tired of feeling bitter
and you start to live your life, but without a care,
at this point all I want is peace, health and enough money to live comfortable
but I also find peace in not being attached to material things
and I know that nature makes me feel peace,
a good view on a park makes me feel peace,
big winds in the middle of trees give me peace,
a good sunset gives me peace!
It started as a coping mechanism and now I actually enjoy it and need it,
stress kills so I don’t really be stressing anymore as I used to,
I totally let go and I'm not scared of death,
so that is liberating.
You have a brilliant yet also practical approach. It took me decades to get out of the nihilistic phase.
To succeed, in the eyes of others, is to fail. And to fail may mean success for those who have eyes to see. Blessed we are, one and all.
A true mystic. Drops truth bomb after truth bomb! If only our leaders would study this man and teach this to their children.
lol oh they teach it to their children, but not ours!

Dear nobody, thanks for this. I had watched parts now and then but never the full extract. Your channel made me discover Vernon Howard, and I started reading The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power. I thought I had read everything and listened to everybody, but the insight now is very original and powerful. At some point in the beginning of the book he talks about the picnic being rained out, or the broken promise, which have no effect on us, only our reaction to them.

It is amazing how we will allow things that are entirely out of our control to bring us into a negative state. Unconsciously - Mechanically reacting negatively to things. The immaturity of it all.
Having repeated it so many times, we have become addicted to the Crap but would deny it despite the self-evident signs. Patterns of repetitive behaviors with negative consequences.
Why not respond appropriately instead of reacting? is it not a choice?
How much must we suffer before we make change where we can?

A man who hears himself, sees himself therefore knows himself. He who understands, knows, therefore has possession of knowledge.
Thank you Anthony for opening my eyes❤
Thank you for uploading such Divine Treasure.
Religion...true meaning ...is to link back to self. Not what we were programmed to belief. True Spirituality is waking up to the conflict within us.

i assume its an allegory of the teachings and death of christ, and the subsequent sterility of the established church's understanding of his teachings
They're true, unfortunately.

There are three stages in one’s spiritual development,” said the Master. “The carnal, the spiritual and the divine.” “What is the carnal stage?” asked the eager disciples. “That’s the stage when trees are seen as trees and mountains as mountains.” “And the spiritual?” “That’s when one looks more deeply into things-then trees are no longer trees and mountains no longer mountains.” “And the divine?” “Ah, that’s Enlightenment,” said the Master with a chuckle, “when trees become trees again and mountains, mountains.

Thanks for posting! If you can find the whole ‘Awareness’ tapes - please post too. Can’t find them. ✌️💕
I'm not sure if this is it but here's A series of programs - containing several "spiritual / awareness exercises." th-cam.com/video/8t_PSw3a24o/w-d-xo.html
It’s not but thanks! Always happy to discover more of this amazing guy. Many thanks. I have the awareness book - it’s a really good one. Let’s hope we find it. Xx
I've read the Awareness book while comparing it to his actual talk and something was a bit off putting about how it had been edited in some places. Especially with the claim on the book that it's "in His Own Words."
In the begging of the book: Awareness - A de Mello Spirituality Conference in His Own Words. (Published after his death) It is written:
"Do you think I am going to help anybody? No! Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Don’t expect me to be of help to anyone." (page 6)
In reality he said,
"Do you think I'm going to help anybody? Oh no, no, no, no. I don't expect to be able to be of help to anyone."

Editing
"I don't expect to be able to be of help to anyone." into "Don’t expect me to be of help to anyone." conveys a different message, painting a negative picture in my opinion.
I really find this a rather questionable edit.
This paired with the church condemning his writings, I think that some people that heard the warning, but decided to explore anyways, might have read this and stopped, thinking the church might be right. ...
This is just one example, in the first few paragraphs of the book.

There is a 9.5 hour version of this book but it has some overlapping.
But this is "in His Own Words", before the editor screwed with them...
@@nobodyreally thank you so much. I will listen to it through.
Can anyone time stamp the part where he talks about the person who shoots their arrows with their eyes closed?

The only thing contradictory in his statements i would say is that "you can be happy and depressed at the same time" which does not make sense for me, depression is the exact opposite of happiness.

1:00:40 His message is much more _alive_ nowadays in our time - the times of the *new @bn0Rmal* - than it was back then. _God Bless Fr. Anthony de Mello's pure❤Soul_ . 🙏✨✨
Where can I get his books for kids?
Now if someone can explain to me how as society we moved from this to we need to change the world to be safe and feel accepted rather than trying to change ourselves
Compulsory schooling perhaps played a part?

@ 58min: world feeling versus soul feeling
Well i did by the ticket ie saw numerous doctors experys meds surgery. God left me in severe pain. After 25 yrs i became an atheist.
It all might be a case of mistaken identity. What’s interesting is you and the God of the Bible both identify with “I Am”. You believe you are atheist, A•theist is what? A = determiner. Theist = belief in a deity.
Atheist = a theist
Sometimes you have to get rid off the God to find a God. Good luck on your path :)

Why are there SO MANY ADS NOW. I’m trying so hard to not be upset by them but it’s interrupting all of his thoughts
This channel is not monetized so it’s not because of anything on this end. It’s TH-cam.

I have a question regarding these teachings. So if we lose all our need for others' approval and all our fear of others' judgments, how is one's moral conduct ensured and enforced? Does this approach not validate sociopathic behaviour?
Observe yourself, your thoughts and behavior, without judgment. Seek to understand yourself.. Awareness is what is called for. That is what demello is pointing to. If you truly desire to growth you will listen to demello with the intent of learning something new. Listen and you will teach yourself.

Which year was this speech?
I am guessing 1985 or so, a few years before he passed away.
Lias and manipulations. WHO wants more ??? Thumb up if yes. If yes check Sai baba and osho
But he said no one should control you but then he said do what the Lord tells you. He never mentions that God gives everyone free will

Maybe the will of the Lord is synonymous with freedom?
