I feel like a kindergarten kid sitting in a high school class, when listening to this. Seems pointless to listen to the 'high level' stuff when I've had no experience, no shift of perspective but this is beautiful. And your videos genuinely reassure me that I could get there some day. Thanks a lot.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake thank you so much for your kind words Angelo. Means a lot to hear these. Hoping to be able to see through the illusion of me, some day in this lifetime. -Raam
Found this video yesterday searching for “senses” in your library, and…whoa. So, I experienced a shift about three weeks ago, on Friday morning at the AOL retreat. Things had become very quiet, as they had earlier in the week as well, but for some reason, perhaps to reduce the likelihood of a thought intrusion, I started repeating “now, now, now”, and “here, here, here”. I never use mantras, but just started doing it spontaneously. I was feeling closeness, a sense of being right on the edge, and then a feeling of awareness and my senses collapsing together and feeling they were one thing, and that is what I am. Then immediately I felt a sense of returning to reality, but reality was different. Clear and light. I didn’t open my eyes for 20 minutes or so, waiting for this sense to change, but it didn’t, still hasn’t. I got goosebumps just now when you started repeating “here, here, here” in the video.
I wish I would have found you a year ago. Your videos are the only thing I have ever seen that talk about this first shift EXACTLY and with such accurate detail. It's been a confusing year of flip flopping back and forth, knowing it is right here closer than my own face, but thank Divine Grace something fundamental has stayed and the glimpses seem longer and longer. Your pointing has been super helpful.
I haven't experienced the first awakening. But I feel sense field is my entry point for meditation. I see myself becoming more and more present but the identity feels just too real. Today I used another entry point that I had forgotten about, that was realising the simple fact that I know nothing. Even with the identity that feels so real, I don't know anything about it. It would usually lead to the question - am I real? But it didn't this time.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Thank you. That was very helpful. (that was not sarcasm : o )) Back to dancing round the edges with the devil, trying to avoid crucifixion.
I left a question on another video which said I don’t see any difference between awareness and sensation or perception (I think you use the word consciousness differently which tripped me up.) - perhaps this video is the answer.
Is it normal to have that intimacy with a sound like a person talking where it feels like you are the sound, for lack of a better description, but for only a second or 2?
It’s common that non-dusk starts out experiential and episodic, then at some point becomes clearly realized (it’s just this way and couldn’t be other).
It’s really interesting to hear that “the only way the awareness can be is the sense phenomena” (at 3:39). Is “pure awareness” not a real thing then? So what are people (myself included) actually sensing when they think they’re experiencing that?
Ok whoa, something shifted again, I have been looking through consciousness as if I was trying to find something or experience something then in a brief moment of completely letting everything be as it is, the senses do what they were doing, giving up the idea that I was even a body I was thrust into everything. All the senses and consciousness became one and the same. And then it all reversed and I was here again.. I think I know how to sustain this and get it back but is this the right way to go?
Well you can’t get back what’s already here so it’s more like seeing the perceptual filters and the apparent benefits of living in a world of seeking what can never be found.
@@Kim-sherie can you see how they are thoughts, perceptions, views not actually “out there” somewhere? Also do you see that the modifier “heavy is Itself a thought ?
Wow, these messages resonate so deeply. For me it is like a beautiful blending of Rupert and Tony…easily digested. Makes me think of Goldilocks when she tried that third bowl of porridge! Does your book expand on this?
so if you say hearing happen without ears, seeing happens without sight ect. 2 obvious question is why the appearence of specialized sensory organs and why do different animals tap different parts of the EMF spectrum than we do?
Those are thoughts. This is pointing to non-dual realization which has nothing to do with thoughts. If trying to work in this way leads to analysis, I recommend on working toward awakening via the basics of awakening and awakening approaches playlists.
Very clear and profound, Thank you Dr.Angelo for all the time and effort you put in presenting this divine message.
You’re welcome :)

It’s not far off, truly. Closer than we can imagine ☺️

@@mrraamsridhar you will ☺️
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake 😀
Perfect timing. Almost like it couldn’t be any other way.
Why is this such a common feeling among viewers?
I love your talks
Thanks for coming :)
Come for the background, stay for the wisdom 🙏
😂
It’s great what you’re pointing to ..... Mu😉 🙏

LOL!! like you are talking directly to me about what I was thinking about. Spooky.

Wonderful. The equanimity and non-duality playlists and those approaches (very simple and only in the moment), will probably most helpful now.
The movie maker analogy is amazing haha. Thank you Angelo, you've been such a help navigating all this
Beautiful
Far out! You just answered my question which I asked on your latest video in this video! How amazing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy to help!
Many thanks, this is helpful beyond words
Very welcome

I would be interested to hear your thoughts/views on, Interoception and the etheric body. Thanks
Not familiar with the terms 🤷🏼♂️

VERY important question.... look and see. Check out my vid the awareness trap as well.
Is it the case, that being continuous as a sensory impression ,ultimately leads to liberation? .... distraction as a question😆 .... is seen👀
Being able to experience a sense perception without cognitive filters over time really is key.
@Angelo
Thank you, for being here❤
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I have a question but it won't form !
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Ah fear of the answer , no damn it I know the answer never mind. Great vids.

With clear seeing the distortions will fall away
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake ah yes I see those filters, they just seem so heavy to clear
@@Kim-sherie can you see how they are thoughts, perceptions, views not actually “out there” somewhere?

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I’ll stay here.I’m incredibly grateful to have you help me through this. Thank you. 🙏😃
