**Disruption is the Key** Disruption, my dear, is not your foe, It is the hand of the Beloved, weaving threads you cannot know. It tears apart the veil you’ve sewn too tight, That you may finally see in the dark, the birth of light. Do not fear the earthquake in your soul- The shattering is the way to make you whole. Be disoriented, lost, confused, For in your unraveling, truth is diffused. Your heart aches with change, but it knows best, To release the illusions you’ve long possessed. What you are is not the story told, But the silence that lingers, the warmth in the cold. Step into the chaos without demand, Let it take you by the hand, For it is the Friend, come in disguise, To lift the mask and open your eyes. So let go of control, my love, release- In the breaking, you shall find your peace. The Self you thought was fixed and defined, Was never more than a shadow in your mind. Be still, be present, simply awake, For in this moment, the heart does break, Not to harm, but to set you free, To find the truth in life’s great sea. Disruption is love's quiet plea- To see beyond the "I," and just *be.*
Beyond the grasp of fleeting power, Lies a truth that has no name, Not in the rising of our towers, Nor in the chase for fleeting fame. We hunger for control, for might, To shield us from the pain of loss, Yet what is eternal shines through night, No need for battles, nor the cross. The mind deceives, the heart betrays, In thoughts we build a house of sand, But peace will come in letting go, In yielding to the unseen hand. Love is born in hearts laid bare, In the wounds we fear to show, And in this tender, aching care, We find a strength we did not know. The intellect will strive and cling, Yet wisdom whispers to be still, Relinquish all-both crown and ring, And let the soul’s true voice be filled. In stillness find what cannot die, What no mind’s grasp can ever bind, The self that watches, always high, Beyond the stories we’ve designed. So rest in truth, let fear dissolve, Surrender power, release control, For in this breaking, we evolve- We find the beauty of the soul.
00:05:48 - Let go of control and just be in the moment, letting the retreat guide you. 00:10:52 - When we let go of identity and agendas, every step and sensation becomes the entire universe. 00:16:38 - Calm your mind to see through the distortions of consciousness and experience true inner peace. 00:21:51 - Discover the illusion of the separate self and awaken to the true nature of your identity. 00:26:30 - Discovering there's no "self" is just the beginning-true peace comes when you stop trying to solve the problem of "me. 00:30:47 - Awakening can be confusing because different traditions and terminologies create a lot of noise, but ultimately, they all lead to the same insight. 00:34:33 - True freedom comes from letting go of the self and embracing insight beyond traditions.
I trust you absolutely. And I know this absolutely. I am the illusion of absolute truth speaking to the illusion of absolute love but together. I do not know the experience of the absolute but I do know its form through the manipulation of concepts larger than infinity. Use time to shrink experience not to grow it. the There is form again in the formlessness it was hidden in time. I can't check my own experience right now. but i can remember it. I know I am intelligence, and I know that I know. I recognize my self as being identified with thought just enough to fool myself into doubt. I have identified as things that I think I believe but do not know I know. I am that which can surround you but can not be surrounded. I can know you without you feeling it and I know that I know. It is the living truth not the dead truth. Can you remember when you stopped believing in the living truth? Stopping believing one thing does not mean you have to believe another you don't have to believe anything at all. You know that. Believe in what you know to be true and know what you believe in. look and look and look again three times at least if you really want to check, but I see nothing of myself in here.
Lately I've started noticing dementia-like symptoms appearing. A hint of a memory or thought will arise, feeling like it's just on the edge of yielding some important insight, then as I try catch it, it slips away like melting snow. I can almost see the coming thought dissolve before it shows itself completely, then within a few more seconds the whole impression is gone and I can't even remember what the hint seemed to be. Am I just losing my memory? Is this just the biological breakdown of the body? Is it just because I am stoned on weed? I used weed for a long time and in much greater amounts and this never happened before, but maybe it's finally catching up with me. I can't even remember insights I've had in the past few days.
Is drinking a fixation? Can it be something that I don’t want to let go of? By quitting drinking, could that help bring on the shadow material that I know I’m avoiding?
You can tell who is truly awake only after the awaking of yourself. Language has its own limitation. Action sometimes are more useful to express the true meanning. "Simply Always Awake" is the true nature of so called "awake", it is a kind of state that no one can escape cause you can not escape from yourself and everything is you but you are not any of those. That is unborn or the nature of emptyness......., people should understand that this youtube channel has tremendous value 👍
Hi Angelo, I wonder if you’ve met anyone with kids and a full time job had a solid first awakening. I find it so hard. Everyday it’s 2 steps forward on the cushion and 3 steps back with worldly responsibilities. Highly doubt if I’m gonna make it in this lifetime
I can relate to this. First shift came despite burnout, work, parenting. Maybe they were the things that helped me to feel so fed up and helpless that surrender became possible. But..... I just want to say. Being too busy is bloody awful. It definitely makes you feel like you're not able to give the time and energy to practice or even to stillness. So it makes it all SEEM impossible. But again, in the middle of overwhelm can be where surrender lies. Good luck. It's in you to do this. Just wanna say I feel your pain, ooofft. Overwhelm is so damn hard.
Yes! I am with you on this. Went trough all the hard shadowwork and still am with a realy challenging job & kids. Go easy on yourself, you’ve got this ❤
The challenging life circumstances cannot be a more perfect environment for awakening. You won't necessarily have a better chance at awakening if you were to live in a cabin mesitating all day. Suffering is what drives the process.
What are you talking about. Really could we not use consciousness to create novel forms (Only limited by imagination.) Doesn't sound like no fixation to me. Why believe anything at all? Who says I am looking for your particular retaliation. Is that what you are overlooking then?
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake just saying that it is possible in consciousness to create new concepts and non-conceptual thoughts. I find that simply bringing two concepts together and seeing what happens often leads to new forms. I don't try and create anything specific but interesting forms do sometimes arise. Not that I don't know how to look elsewhere in case that is what is worrying you. I know you do exist and you don't need to doubt yourself.
Just another concept. Do you not know that you can make concepts larger than god? Try it, what have you got left to lose? your non-self, your connection with god. You are assuming things about yourself, have you tried separating yourself into parts? Start with knowing knowing, If that helps then you could tell your thought from anothers.
**Disruption is the Key**
Disruption, my dear, is not your foe,
It is the hand of the Beloved, weaving threads you cannot know.
It tears apart the veil you’ve sewn too tight,
That you may finally see in the dark, the birth of light.
Do not fear the earthquake in your soul-
The shattering is the way to make you whole.
Be disoriented, lost, confused,
For in your unraveling, truth is diffused.
Your heart aches with change, but it knows best,
To release the illusions you’ve long possessed.
What you are is not the story told,
But the silence that lingers, the warmth in the cold.
Step into the chaos without demand,
Let it take you by the hand,
For it is the Friend, come in disguise,
To lift the mask and open your eyes.
So let go of control, my love, release-
In the breaking, you shall find your peace.
The Self you thought was fixed and defined,
Was never more than a shadow in your mind.
Be still, be present, simply awake,
For in this moment, the heart does break,
Not to harm, but to set you free,
To find the truth in life’s great sea.
Disruption is love's quiet plea-
To see beyond the "I," and just *be.*
Wow this is beautiful did you write this?

find this disorientation so challenging with a job....plus the emotional challenging
😂 the opportunities to be aware of hidden thoughts/beliefs can be plentiful at a job, for sure...
Thank you for your comment 🙏
good luck
Wow Angelo thank you 🙏🏻♥️
Thank you!

I get that and I don’t smoke much!
Nothing to worry. I experience this all the time. Never smoked whole life.
What would you say to someone who is at the point of 26:16? For me it's doesn't go beyond that "I am" sense
Is drinking a fixation? Can it be something that I don’t want to let go of? By quitting drinking, could that help bring on the shadow material that I know I’m avoiding?
Yes for sure
Ugh 😩 I’m scared…fack

After an awakening would I know whether Zen practice is right for me or not?
Instructions unclear; gonna take laxatives before my next lecture at uni.
Enjoy your shit! 😉
