@@SimplyAlwaysAwake hi Angelo, long time lurker, just starting to comment. All your videos/ playlists have been so wonderful. Currently feeling fear and discomfort so the videos you made on that have been extremely helpful. In one of them you said something like “we (our ancestors, everyone) have been building a self to actively avoid… a particular sensation? I’ve been working with this and so far only see concepts we’d want to avoid, like there is no one, there is only emptiness inside. Can you give more guidance on the sensation? In the mean time I will continue to “feel” 😂
Also, I was Nathan Plays( talking about the discomfort of identity) in this video. I think my 8 yo must have altered the username! Don’t know why it was that in the live chat but my normal name here…
47:22 I don’t have the what is wrong with me thought, but I have the “what are we doing thought?” constantly. It’s the “ This life the way we are living just can’t be it” thought. I was one of the people thinking I wasn’t suffering as much as seeking. I think Im finally starting to realize the seeking is the suffering.
Would love more of the ‘hanging with homies’ type of videos for membership area. Loved how casual and warm of a vibe it had. Deeper realization territory material is yummy. Just joined the Patron level after doing sustaining member for a few months. Loving the retreat material. Maybe I’ll get to an AOL someday! How about a Maine or New Hampshire retreat (selfish of me!) Gratitude for these offerings. Thanks Angelo and team ❤ Leela
Thank you for your response to my question. I feel like I’ve been knocked out. My first response last night was laughter, followed by tears, and hopelessness. Today, I just want to give it all up. The only thing I know is that I don’t know. 🤣 Lots of reactivity lately. Tears flowing at everything. I completely relate to that what is wrong with me question. I’m just tired.
Would be interested to see more Q&As, long inquiry videos like the retreat ones, and generally stuff about deep realisation/seeing through the separate self or the mechanism of it
I understand what Adi Pacurar meant by ''automatic esoteric yoga''. It’s like when you enter a relaxed meditative state, your body naturally begins to move in some kind of yoga flow. I’ve been experiencing this myself for the past few months, even though I don’t know much about yoga. In this state, my body intuitively ''performs'' breath holds, yogic bandhas, mudras, and movements that resemble Indian dance moves or some kind of ritual. Often, these movements lead to emotional releases, such as crying or even vomiting. It feels crazy at times, but I try to surrender to this divine intelligence guiding the process! :)
Thank you for sharing, Angelo, I’m very grateful for this video. Unfortunately, I’m not likely able to attend the retreat as I’m agoraphobic, but I still tried to sign up for the retreat info, but it won’t accept my email as valid and so it won’t let me submit my information.
48:04 Discord server really might be a good solution, however I hope that with whatever the solution will be, it won’t induce too much unnecessary social dynamics/hierarchy etc.
Re "community tab". I am subscribed and I frequently look there and the last thing posted is about a talk you are giving with Eshwar (1 month ago). I've never seen anything about raffles or giveaways. I am using my PC. So I figure it must show only for paid members?
Hey angelo, i had a question regarding seeking. I had a super big opening over the summer that seemed to disappear after a couple months, and i went back to struggling and looking for a certain state, bla bla bla. Basically, recently ive realized that theres nothing for me to get. So i spend as much time just resting in presence as i can. When you speak of deeper insights, i catch myself seeking again and thinking i need to reach a certain state. Should i just rest in that nothingness as much as i can and let things happen as they will? Or would it be a good idea to begin focusing on the senses? Apologies for word vomit
Hi Angelo. I put my name down for the UK retreat a few months ago, but have not heard anything since. Now it says that it is full, I just wanted to ask if I still have a spot? Or will we hear something soon? Booking under Jon Merritt. Thank you :)
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Thank you for responding.. Perhaps, but when I filled out the form (think it was June or July this year when it was first announced) there was nothing saying the retreat was full. After submitting the form I got the onscreen message saying the form had been submitted, but I never got any further conformation. Sorry not trying to be a pain, but I really wanted to come to this.
@@Oldoregonnurse Thank you, I never received anything more than the form submission conformation so perhaps Angelo is correct and I am just on the waiting list. Fingers crossed :)
I was listening, hungover and depressed, and the “fear bear” made me laugh so f***** hard and snapped me out of it😂
😂

impersonal sense of presence? why can’t i find this? every nonduality teacher talks about this but i’m just lost with the pointer.
What’s the month long retreat you’re mentioning? I can’t find any info on your website or the community tab on RUclips.
same

Paid channel members yes

I also have been having lots of body energetics that seem to energize me a whole lot during and after I go through them
I like the resting in presence as base practice. In addition you can start working through the playlist “nonduality” and those practices
What do you mean “ suddenly see people walking around with no head”
You mention circling with the ManKind project. When I look it up, it looks like only for men. Do you know of a group all gender, or for women?
insidecircle.org
They’re great, and have female facilitators

I’m surprised they have not returned your query. I signed up and then had to cancel. In both instances they were timely in getting back to me.
you're prob on the waiting list
