Hi Angello, On inquiry: 1. I think I get the trusting part you keep pointing out. For me the opportunity for this is when I try to turn attention to the part where it's "me" or stay there is a great need to apply some kind of a measurement to it ( take a mental selfie ) and determine whether I am doing it right. 2. That place where attention comes from is essentially where the inquiry question is supposed to lead us eventually. That's basically where the need for the question ends! 3. The trust part of the process takes a while to achieve I guess, when I try having my day's events as usual I can tell I am ditching the practice not because something is going wrong but I need something else on the driver seat!
This is wisdom and all about letting go, or maybe even better: allowing being 🧡 But letting go isn't easy because that's not a habit of me, mine and who I am; the doer. If I choose to pay no attention to the doer when there is struggle and let the silent partner; the body, inform me about what's going on and how to let go, he says; this is trapped energy, and let's do something fun together, and I will show you 💫 Energy isn't me, mine or who I am; it's one single movement. So then we move the body, guided with the breath, and purge, tonify and circulate internal energy with external energy, and instantly the gloom is evaporated. Letting go is simply being generous! Let energy flow because that's the dhamma or nature of energy. Free your ass, and your mind will follow 🤘
"I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested. I'd like to think if I was I would pass." - Mighty Mighty Bosstones. It's great advice. It's certainly wonderful. Lose security, yes. What is security? a wise saying is we shall see. we will. If all this awakening is true and actual, then it should persist even after the power goes out for the last time. When the air conditioning isn't rescuing you from that nasty weather everyone in history had to deal with up until the last century or so. When food isn't able to be bought. When the illusion of money is dissolved and you are left holding a useless piece of plastic (as it always was). If they come for your life, do you still promise you are truly awakened. Sure we all suffer everyday and no storm lasts. Nothing lasts forever, expecting it to is folly. Even the wonderful weather changes. The world moves in cycles. Nothing can actually harm us when we know this. Are we truly awakened? Do we have in us to do it the new way and still be as the ancients were? We shall see.
We know it, others may see it. Do the creatures on this planet come out of hiding for all of us, truly, wherever we go? We can doubt who we are, we can doubt who others are. We cannot fool our friends in nature, from my experience, not the rats or pigeons in the city or the deer, mice and birds of the forest. Remember this. honesty. sincerity. I consider it a mark against me to be so serious lately.
00:04:40 - 00:06:58 Moving towards the fabric of thought... What is its nature? Its mysterious oceanic appearing and dissolving... this sense of "spaciousness... knowing of Being" /I Sense... What's this made of? It reminds me of the pond/light shards analogy you wrote out in your "Stages of Awakening" chapter of the book. Where is the boundary/contact points between where this all pervading spaciousness starts and stops. Where does knowingness of Being end? Where are you, at your essence? Where can I find the _You_ that makes up this spacious knowing? What is the essence of this Reality? Where are we if we had to try pinpoint how to be here? 💛
@@birgit8996 Hello Birgit 🌷✨ there is no knowing (intellectual/conceptual = thinking) as a way to understand...Self-Realization. There's just a sense of Being... Here/Alive... no knowing... or knowledge. In direct experience, there is an entire reality... being lived... by this experiencing sense of Being. This includes the mental chatter, the questions, the answers, the reality, the feeling of being a person. All of this is reflecting on the surface of the pond... as Angelo says in the book...as reflections of light from the moon. So what is the nature of this Source of energy, which encompasses this Reality and all the interconnected reflections of its beam of light? ✨🌝 What is Life, Reality, Universe? It's here always and it is effortless in its constant being here. 🌞 How is this world even possible? Just been on my mind all day 😜 How am I even here and alive? Where exactly am I? 🙃 What the heck is this? 🤔
It's tricky,because the thoughts seems to claim the knowingness💭,this also is thought....about.....nothing⚪ Angelo,you are a perfekt pointer....to nothingness😊
I can get to this space for almost any circumstance at this point, but I've been supporting a friend who is managing the physical pain of her toddler after a significant accident. Putting myself in her shoes, I can't help but feel the suffering. Watching your child experience physical pain is unbearable. I guess the same advice goes for this circumstance... allowing and feeling the unbearable experience?
Yes, of course some situations are more challenging. Working in consciousness this is the case. It’s not constant, but something you cultivate through meditation. With realization of equanimity it is a different story. There is neutrality and non-reactivity ongoing.
Thank you. I feel the identity as parent/mother is so strong and I see the purpose in it, but it also helps create the belief that parents of young children can't wake up.
My childrens’ suffering is my biggest trigger and yet they are also that which have helped dissolve so much identity. Every day they are my teachers. After awakening they became so fun. I never knew I could play Lego all day long and be exactly where I want to be 😅 but it goes against instinct to see them suffering. We feel their suffering because we experience non-duality with them, without even trying. There isn’t anything to be done about the suffering we share when they suffer … it just is, and can be as it is, without a story ❤ even something that appears to the mind as unbearable is an opening and a gate
My problem is...I have a bit of trauma from my childhood and I learned very young how to distract myself. Now I'm 38 and I feel there is a whole world of pain on my shoulder - everything I ever avoided. Every time I try to meditate so much pain comes out that I feel like I'm going to die. It is just unbearable...
two things. One do lots of shadow work/emotion work. There are many approaches and modalities. Consider TRE. Second, learn to meditate in/with unbound consciousness per the consciousness playlist :)
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Thank you for your answer. Just i didn't understand the second part: "learn to meditate in/with unbound consciousness per the consciousness playlist "? Could you please clarify just in a few words? Thank you so much for everything you are doing.
Angelo, please clear this out. I still can't grab the difference between clarity of the mind vs busy mind. Or thoughtless vs many thoughts state. Like on silence retreats, mind calms down to the point of no/very little thoughts. The clarity and ease with meditation is tremendous then. When i'm back to so-called "normal life" but still with meditation, and inquiry, mind gets busy and "dirty" with thoughts. It takes hours of sitting, to get to this immense clarity, but of course it's possible, it just takes so much more time. I know that peace and presents is always available. And since i'm not the mind, it shouldn't matter if there are thoughts or not. But still, it feels really different. Can you please give some piece of advice how to approach it? Thank you
Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much!! That’s very generous and kind!

Nice. Specific to Q1, important to notice the monitoring tendency is itself a subtle thought.

An excellent accompanying transmission to that of one before that was also timely for me: spirituality and war. Thank you for this practice Angelo 🙏🏻
