I first heard of you from a guy called Frank Yang, when he was talking about big Self not being the final stage and pointing to people who had gone past it. He linked the ZDogg podcasts, and I’ve loved everything ever since. One of the most practical transmitters I’ve come across, thank you
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Really!!! You’re aware of him! That’s so fascinating, coming from someone who began following him when he focussed on bodybuilding. Looking forward to it man
Hey Angelo. These videos are such a gift to the world, thank you. I’m in Brazil, a bit far, but I do dream to come to a retreat of yours. I resonate so much with your teachings.❤
A bit off-topic perhaps...Your "Awake: It's Your Turn" is deep yet hands-on. Thank you. My favorite parts are quotes from Revolver. Read this one today: "He's hiding behind your pain Jake. You're protecting him with your pain. Embrace the pain, and you'll win this game..." That much is clear. Still there is a difficult choice of which pain to choose. The one reoccurring too often in my life now is should I stay with my family or leave them. And how do you account for the pain of others in this method? Obviously, I don't expect a Yes or No answer, just sharing. Too much of my energy is wasted on the pain of choice rather than the pain of experience.
Thank you ever so much for the chance to partake in the retreat despite being far away. Very, very helpful. “Helpful” isn't even the right word, but I hope you see what I mean 🙏
I feel the kiss of this synchronicity, even from here. The importance of bringing love to whatever feelings arise is the heart of what’s happening in my experience right now. The quickest way “in” for me always seems to be a deep and raw truthfulness about whatever feelings are arising in the moment. A few weeks ago I felt lighter and more here than I can ever remember. Then an almost volcanic welling up of visceral rage and hatred. So that, apparently, is what needs love and attention now. Blessings on everyone who found their way to this retreat. Blessings on all of us who, for whatever reasons, are watching from wherever we are. Thank you as always, Angelo, for being so generous in finding ways to reach us all… 💜🙏🌻🌎🤬🫥🤨😳😂
Hey, Mac! When feelings arise, allow it to be felt as fully as possible, at the sensory level: where in the body is this feeling, in the gut? In the head? Feelings just want to be felt. Feel angry. Feel hate. Those emotion label are only thought overlays, that come after the fact anyway, and the idea that something has to be done in order to retain peace is itself just a conceptualization. Peace, hate, love, terror, dread - - it's of the mind post- processing... only just sensations at a raw level. Neither good/bad; pleasant/awful. Feel the sensation - - acknowledge it - - - see it move through you. ❤️ Thoughts are fine. Feelings are fine. Perfectly natural - - and none of it is yours. You didn't make that feeling happen. Try now and make it happen again. Conjure incandescent fury.Just transient nature... in this dreamy realm. It's okay to feel, and maybe now you're becoming attuned to your feeling-tones, it's becoming more obvious where the discomfort is being felt in the body. Maybe. Take all of this with a pinch of salt. 😂 💛 We all can relate to this post, I'm sure. Last night, I felt insurmountable and inexplicable grief, out of the blue. It was tied into a specific memory-thought, which sucked me right back under. Amazing how powerful that pull can still be. I didn't want to feel it. It just blasted right through and past me. It was beyond my control. Once the emotional shitstorm had blown through my psyche, I felt utterly spent. Exhausted. I can see none of those mental extrapolations can ever touch me, right here. it's about as real to me as a dream. I can see how the unconscious pull causes tremendous anguish, none of it real. When I get lost internally, I intuit myself to find my feet: "Where are my feet right now?" Here on this ground... OK good... "Go join them!" 😂💛🙈🕊️ Take it easy, Macca xx 🤗
@@macparker3549 Right back at ya Mac! Seems we're swimming the same deep water xo 😂😭🤐🤒🤯😵🤮😳😱🤬😈🤡🎈🎈🤸♂️😎👻 Thank you for sharing your feelings. I can relate to everything... 🙏🦋🌈
Thank you so much for posting the retreat talks Angelo. The hunger for deeper realization is unexplainable. Non-abiding states are far too excruciating, and your teaching is very helpful. Your transmission is so powerful and peaceful. 💞
Damn, right near the end of this one is so impactful for me! The place where you say that you don’t know if we have a choice whether we do the emotional/shadow work before or after awakening. Honestly, the one place where your teaching has sometimes felt confusing - even occasionally dissonant for me - is the way you tend to talk about awakening as “the first big shift,” followed by years of intense shadow work. I don’t really worry much about this, because I trust the breadth and depth of your teaching, which is more than expansive enough to honor all sorts of variances in the unfolding. Still, for me the experience (so far!) has been pretty much the opposite of what you describe as how this usually works. My “first major shift” seems to have been an intense release of repressed emotion. I felt a relief and liberation that changed my life. And that has continued on and off for decades. Put simply, life doesn’t seem to have any intention of sending me the awakening experience I hear others describe until I have seriously done my inner homework! I wonder how many others of you are having similar experience? And Angelo, thank you for teachings that are grand and open enough to include us mutants! 🧌🐌🤬😳🤨😃😁😂
Sounds too 💛 Thought you might dig this! “Like water in a mirage, a dream, an echo, a phantom emanation, a reflection, a castle in the air, or a hallucination; all things are clearly apparent yet to not truly exist” Longchenpa, The Basic Space of Phenomena And then this breathtaking passage: “In simply arising, forms are by nature empty. From what is unborn there manifests what seems to be born, but even as it manifests, nothing whatsoever has been born... These are illusory expressions of emptiness. Even with abiding there is nothing that abides.” Beautiful ❤️ "There's always the sun (Always the sun) Always the sun, Always Always (Always the sun)..." ☀️ _The Stranglers_ Always 🌞🙏
Good for you, Keena. Feels brave and wise, and also really smart to just be honest about it. I was thinking this morning of drafting a post about feelings that come up for those of us who “aren’t there.” But first I feel like it’s wiser for me to just be with those feelings for a while. Thanks for your openness and honesty. That’s such an important part of all this. Very best to you…
Wow, transmuting through the internet 🙌 Is this you, or is this me? It must be WE 🙏 Where can i view/listen to the nezt segment Please? And thank you, with so much gratitude 🧎♀️
Thanks. 💛 No one needs to feel it's incumbent upon them to answer this, but trying to relate to terminology. Is the following scenario non-dual? : Person becomes the 'watcher 'and simultaneously the 'actor' in daily activities. In that state, the actor does their thing as usual, such as their job, etc. - but without suffering from the stuff the actor usually suffers from when not in that state. Not speaking about intense suffering, such as overwhelming physical pain, but more like the suffering of some stress response while having a minor argument with a co-worker. Hope that makes sense.
What is the best way to get on the list for the next retreat? I didn’t find out about this one until it was already full - and it was right in my backyard! 😅

I take a look around the room and say to myself " is there anything here , that I don't recognize?" usually the answer is no, that to me is bizarre.
