I will be eternally grateful for your clarity of thought and immense generosity in sharing these pointings here on youtube Angelo. Listening to them everyday since past few years has made being on this path so much easier. Thank you, thank you for everything. ❤
Thanks very much for answering my comment! I'll get back to non-judgemental onion peeling and lots of meditation. I know I can feel loving gratitude for this community, at least 😅❤.
Love your reaction after reading the first question lol And yeah, true loving compassion feels almost like a super power when it's felt for the first time. It's good stuff!
Orient to truth!!!! Orient to truth!!!!! This whole process is tough, but I don't give a F---!!! Not willing to F--- around anymore, only orienting to truth and pray for wisdom when not sure 🙂
Put out your hand. Make a fist and squeeze as tight as you can. This feels like resentment. Then completely relax the hand. This is what letting go of resentment feels like. 😊
I had a FAFO moment and found myself questioning whether I'd asked for the pain, or if the pain was ultimately inevitable and if I'd asked for the grace that arrived with it to help me stay with the sympathetic experience and go through it. Both I guess.
very synchronistic about the permission. I had this last realization last night, that i am seeking because I am looking for everyone/thing else but myself for permission which made me feel expansive. This morning I woke up feeling contracted and couldn't remember what deep insight I had but this permission bell is ringing again
I'm totally on board to forgive robber barons, war criminals, and terrible parents. I get that they are innocently playing out their karma. But what about their victims? What about the innocent lives greatly diminished or taken out of the game entirely, without their consent, well before their time? I still have a hard time accepting their fate. Especially when it's my responsibility (because of US tax dollars) and in my face constantly (because it directly affects people I know and care deeply about, and seeing them treated like vermin while the world watches -- it doesn't feel like it's my place to accept that on their behalf, even though I apparently have no choice and this thing is going to play itself out no matter what millions or billions of people think or try to do about it).
I know Thich Nhat Hanh sang while transporting dead bodies and rebuilding villages bombed over and over by the US military. I respect that, of course. What else can a monk do? It's almost like war has become more painful, as you can see all of it in a sweep and zoom in as much as you want and feel like you (should) have some agency over it. I guess it's just part of human evolution. But damn it hurts. It hurts to see so many people hurting and feel like there should be more you can do to fix it, even as so many people well above my pay grade have gone flat-out to try to fix it for decades.
Wondering if you know if it is possible for some people to experience burping for months as a distraction when doing shadow work and one pointed inquiry to stay here. Also have recently been diagnosed with B. E. Barret Esophagus given meds still burping funny unless you the one playing the part that is gassy🤮😵💫 just curious.Thanks 🙏
How to stop scrolling on RUclips shorts?! I have RUclips on my phone to use consciously. However, I tend to press on the shorts even though for a lil bit before or after a conscious use session sometimes, and sometimes I’m taking over by this RUclips Shorts thing :(
All the various types of teachings and spiritual paths are related to the different capacities of understanding that different individuals have. There does not exist, from an absolute point of view, any teaching which is more perfect or effective than another. A teaching's value lies solely in the inner awakening which an individual can arrive at through it. If a person benefits from a given teaching, for that person that teaching is the supreme path, because it is suited to his or her nature and capacities. There's no sense in trying to judge it as more or less elevated in relation to other paths to realization. Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, Dzogchen
I question if people doing irreprehensible deeds are just playing out their karma, would they not be creating future karma? Loving kindness? Or compassion as in forgive them for they know not what they do!
Please Call Me by My True Names - Thich Nhat Hanh Don’t say that I will depart tomorrow - even today I am still arriving. Look deeply: every second I am arriving to be a bud on a Spring branch, to be a tiny bird, with still-fragile wings, learning to sing in my new nest, to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower, to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone. I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry, to fear and to hope. The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death of all that is alive. I am the mayfly metamorphosing on the surface of the river. And I am the bird that swoops down to swallow the mayfly. I am the frog swimming happily in the clear water of a pond. And I am the grass-snake that silently feeds itself on the frog. I am the child in Uganda, all skin and bones, my legs as thin as bamboo sticks. And I am the arms merchant, selling deadly weapons to Uganda. I am the twelve-year-old girl, refugee on a small boat, who throws herself into the ocean after being raped by a sea pirate. And I am the pirate, my heart not yet capable of seeing and loving. I am a member of the politburo, with plenty of power in my hands. And I am the man who has to pay his “debt of blood” to my people dying slowly in a forced-labor camp. My joy is like Spring, so warm it makes flowers bloom all over the Earth. My pain is like a river of tears, so vast it fills the four oceans. Please call me by my true names, so I can hear all my cries and my laughter at once, so I can see that my joy and pain are one. Please call me by my true names, so I can wake up, and so the door of my heart can be left open, the door of compassion.
This was my feeling, as well. What to do when some of the participants in this shared realm know perfectly well that the conceptual field is powerful yet illusory, and weaponize it to hijack the minds of others to achieve their own cruel aims?
your talk is so f*kin empty 😂 love that holy cow i had such a huge shift, i can't follow your words anymore. don't have a clue whats happening anymore or what i'm looking at. even remembering what happened a second ago seems like impossible and absurd. i see no self anymore, no you either

Great stuff - many thanks...
Very welcome
No matter how much 'loving kindness' one may feel appropriate to extend to billionaires they still need vigorous political opposition.
I see no inherent contradiction between the two, but perhaps you currently do?

Clarity, yes clarity. Probably being very backward in this process, I always love the viewer comments sessions.

Interesting video as I hit a streak of being wrong about everything.

@@steved6413 the last sentence
What about loving kindness for people participating in the gaza genocide? The truth is completely amoral right because everything is representation?

Why does Eckhart Tolle talk about conscious manifestation? I´m kinda confused 😅
You probably should ask on his channel.
Because he wants followers. You're welcome.
@@liberated_AF Ye that was my guess
@@oolala53 Well he gets recommended a lot here that’s why I’m asking. I’m wondering if he’s a trustworthy source or not.
your talk is so f*kin empty 😂 love that

Hi, what is karma as you use it? I only know the bumper sticker « my karma ran over my dogma »
