You are such a blessing. I loved your conversation with Angelo. I resonate SO MUCH with how you teach/point. I’m beyond grateful to be here enjoying your great teaching.
Feel the need to say this talk encapsulated around thirteen years of a me watching videos. So thanks again for all the work done and are doing. Feels true to keep watching this one video over again and again till it all melts. Something wants to go to the 2nd fetter video, and I see this want. Gratitude to all of you who show us to look and be here always. 🙏
Yes, you are absolutely and an extremely valued blessing 💖Your statement about others having their own backpack and are not thinking about you, proved to be one of the most liberating statements for me! 👋🙌A million thanks for your wisdom and insights! Sending you buckets of love 💝🤟
Wow. This is so clear and direct. The humor and lightness is a breath of fresh air. Add me to the other comments which consider you and your work a big blessing.
I wish we were all taught this the first day of school and given to for homework. So we could share with our parents, friends and family. Thankful to it hear now rather than never. So thank you bless you very much. Also watched your talk with Angelo. Thank you both for clearing our fog. 🙏
If you have not been listening to what parents are opposing in schools, ayou should go see what parents are saying . I taught school for over 20 years and I can tell you plenty of parents would not be happy about this. Haven’t you seen it in some states they don’t even want schools admitting that there was slavery in the United States?
@@oolala53 Maybe a better wish would be for the parents to come across this understanding and share it with the children. Like it is being shared with us now.

Thx again 🙋🏻♂️ - Johnny
Hello Pernille and Everyone. I am a new member. I was made aware of you through both your interview of Angelo Dilullo and his interview of you. I really resonate with your detailed and insightful teachings. I have signed up for Vince's Sunday meetings as well as with Liberation Unleashed (am waiting for a guide) and am reading Kevin Schanilec's website and Christiane Michelberger's website as well. I am excited and grateful to be here. Thank you so much! ❤🙏🏼 Alara
Hello Pernille. I've finished the guidance from Liberation Unleashed and attend Vince's meetings when I can. I am enjoying your teachings. There are ups (ie peace and spaciousness) and downs (ie challenges and resistance) so to speak but I am excited to be here. There's still some identification with the 'I". Thanks for checking in. 🙃🙂♥ - Alara@@TheAwakeningCurriculum
A belief "Refugees should not have cellphones"...😂...Im going to start bringing popcorn to this fetters series, its so much fun. And also rich,deep,transforming,with greatly relatable examples from reality...Amazing stuff,thank you🙏
I'm self aware selfing rn but it's Thanksgiving and I happen to be alone at the moment which keeps oscillating between being completely content and then watching myself attempting to text people to Garner some type of attention, from Happy Thanksgiving to should I tell someone about my spiritual experiences (spiritual ego) and then I prevent myself from sending anything 😂 and infact it's spilling out rn in this comment 😭😭😭 holy moly this validation Seeking IS SO STRONG! Hope this helps someone else (the egos rationalization) 😂what a persistent illusion!!!
I am wondering whether I should continue in my social action activities because much of them are based on constructs about our relationship to power. Just constructs which I believe are helpful in the relative world. But maybe I should withdraw and accept reality just as it is? Injustice doesn't exist. It's just a construct in my mind. Any thoughts?
Oh goodness! Ok! One of the huge pitfalls when we work with non-dualism is nihilism! I know that a lot of radical non-dualists will say “there is no-one, nothing matters” We do not agree! Ghandi said “Whatever you do in life will be insignificant but it is very important that you do it because you can't know.” The 10th fetter points to “not knowing”. Yes it is true that in our direct experience there is no “I” anywhere. And yes it is also true that in the absolute there is no duality which also means no morality. So in the absolute it does not matter If people die in a war. It does not matter that human trafficking exists. And One can very quickly end up in the pit you are in where it does not matter if you are helpful or supportive or not. But we do not live in the absolute. Saying that nothing matters just makes us borderline psychopaths. If you feel into the body can you feel if there is a body-yes or a body-no to be helpful and supportive? Go with that. Instead of being compassionate from either an egotistical place where you want people to applaud you for helping out or from the other side of the gap where you do not help out at all because “nothing matters”, feel into the gap, into the middle way. Be kind and compassionate from a place of stilness, simplicity and contentment. Not from an opinion of either doing right or wrong. I hoped that helped you a bit, feel free to come to our meeting, the next one is on Tuesday. If you would like to participate write to Todd on unfetteredmindfulness@gmail.com and he will forward you the link. I am sending you much love.
This is hugely helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply so fully and thoughtfully. This does make sense and feels right, compassionate and non egoic. I understand what you mean about responding from the body vs the egoic mind. I had not seen it like this before. Huge thanks. I will contact Todd 🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sick of teacher saying you will not find it. It’s right here. Whatever it is, it’s right here and it is happening. Maybe it doesn’t stay in one shape maybe it doesn’t stay in one experience but it’s here.
So hypothetically, if someone asked you to give your opinion on something or needed you to analyze a situation and give an assumption about it. What would you do? Would you simply not have anything to say? This will be tricky for me because I have a job that requires me to do that a lot.
No of course not! The teachings and lessons about non-self and non-duality are meant for us to cease the suffering caused by identification. You got your job because your specific causes and conditions led you to be a person that is discerning, evaluating and concluding in line with the policy of the company. Which is all great! The issue might however occur if you start to identify as a person who is right in their discernments, evaluations and conclusions and bring that along for family dinner, or to deal with road rage or someone skipping you in the line at the grocery store. We are only looking at all this to cease our suffering. And it is SO interesting! If you want specifically to look more into the foundation of opinions go to the 4th lesson in the 2nd fetter and the 4th lesson in the 5th fetter about the bubble of reality and let me know how you get on.
Ok, first off; thank you for writing! Most people will just shy away when they can't follow the lessons. I am so happy you are not doing that. Ok. Try this. Close your eyes. Feel your feet. Keep your attention on your feet. After a short while see if you can feel the boundary between your foot and the sock and the foot and the floor. You can't. With your eyes closed you can't feel the distinction. You feel some pressure or buzzing somewhere but not at the proper distance your feet has from the body. Try it and get back to me
Hello and thank you, It seems that the first 3 fetters have been seeing through a method of Inquiry, the feeling is that there so much more to see, I wonder if it is possible to do the 4 and 5 fetters in a group with you , as suggested, or something else can be suggested?
Thank you so much for your question. I am not doing groups at the moment, however do you know about Vinces Sunday meeting? There are many guides there that can support you, and Vince is gold! Write him on vinceschubert@gmail.com
on my channel you click "Join" and become a member and if it was for Vinces Sunday meeting group then you write Vince on vinceschubert@gmail.com. I hope to see you there
So happy to hear it is useful. If that is a trigger for you check out 4th fetter. It is all about discovering contentment that is in the moment and not create that alternate reality where things can be better. Let me know how you get on.
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum actually I think it’s just a great pointer and will likely continue logging notes in these videos and I progress. ‘Trying’ and essentially being somewhere other than where you are has always been a thing for me. I’ve long suspected and observed/noted it’s almost rooted in all evil (so to speak 😂). Great stuff btw, thank you very much for compiling and creating all this content online virtually free of charge. Amazing actually to have all the fetter content like this on one channel to work through.❤️🙏
RUclips has a flaw in their setup on phones. It is easier to do on computers. First off you need to subscribe to the channel and then either try to access RUclips via a browser on the phone or try to open RUclips via the app. Whatever you are doing; do the opposite. And thank you for your perseverance

Liberation Unleashed www.liberationunleashed.com/resources/articles/freedom/ where you find a guide. You can also ask in our Discord community if anyone are guiding at LU and would 'pick you up' there. Then you know you will get a guide that are working with the Curriculum. If you want the Discord link let me know and I will post it. It expires so quickly.
The 10 fetters is a Buddhist conceptual framework where we look into the 10 different ways we identify with topics that makes our life immensely difficult. You can read about them here theawakeningcurriculum.com/firststeps and then do the curriculum that dissolves all 10 and leads to awakening. Let me know how you get on.
Hello Tessa, thank you for your comment. I am happy you find the curriculum useful. If you watch this video ruclips.net/video/BFGpokouS2I/видео.html then in the description you find the information to connect to Vinces Sunday meeting. I hope to see you there
@@evian. You are too quick. Imagine you walk in the street and someone steals your bag. That is happening. Next step does not directly have to do with the stolen bag. You probably need to go to the police for the insurance claim but also if some belongings show up they know its yours. All that is just happening. The interesting part is; how does that influence or affect you? Have you experienced that? Or something similar?
Thank you so much for your question. To me it happened overnight. Or that is how it was felt. I had at that point being meditating for decades though and I assume that is why it was experienced like it was. I am talking about my experience in this video ruclips.net/video/1IUJ5b9WJws/видео.html
Yes, the suffering in traditional sense has ceased. So the mind made ruminations are not there. But I still stomp my toe, that pain is still there, the inner dialogue about why, how and who that happened is however not there. Or it might be actually, I just dont believe it any more than any of the other senses. So a sound or a smell or a taste is not more or less true than a thought. Does that make any sense? I am going to answer your question in more depth in the next Q&A video
Hi, thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. Do you happen to guide people one on one? I have the information for the Sunday group but have yet to attend. I’m going to try to catch it this Sunday.
Thank you so much for your comment, Amyr. No I am not guiding 1:1 at the moment. All my effort is in my health and in creating the Awakening Curriculum. I do recommend you to join Vinces meeting if you havent yet. He is a gem! I hope to see you there (I am watching the recordings)
Super easy peasy.. you contact Vince on vinceschubert@gmail.com to join his Sunday meeting. Hope to see you there.. I often watch the recording afterwards so I will keep an eye out for you.
I don't know if that makes sense. I've had that first shift of recognising "I" doesn't exist, it's all just thought. However, it feels too much like I am experiencing that from a logical standpoint rather than the self dropping off completely.
If this is going by too fast try reading the transcript. Click on "...more" above, then click on "Show Transcript" at the bottom of the page. Pause the video and scroll the transcript at your own pace.
Hello there, can you help?. You ask us to join one of the groups and guide which I would like to. Where do I find them please? Thank you and great work..Malcolm
Hello Suryacitta, I am sorry I havent seen your message until just now! Yes, of course! First off go to my homepage Damore.uk where you find all the information you need. Contact then Vince on vinceschubert@gmail.com to join his Sunday meeting every other Sunday. Then go to LU www.liberationunleashed.com/register/ to get a guide. Remember to write in the application that you would like to do FetterWork. I would love to hear from you and maybe even meet in one of the groups
Thank you Pernille, I have now got an LU guide and I will join Vincent this Sunday/Saturday , much appreciated . Hope to you soon., Suryacitta@@TheAwakeningCurriculum
Pernille I was just listening to you and vince in a vid called the 10 fetters and you said everything you think about someone else is really about yourself 😂 so do I think I am adorable 😂❤️
Uh it is such a good question with multiple layers of replies that leads to the clear seeing and understanding in the end. I would love if you would join our Inquiry group when we are back from holiday on the 20th of August so you can get a proper answer. The answer in short hand is: Everything we perceive as "me" is based on causes and conditions. Pattern recognition is based on causes and conditions. What is learned by a lesson is based on causes and conditions. And if we repeat destructive patterns knowing the outcome (I am thinking of addictions, arguments, scrolling instead of sleeping etc.) that is still based on causes and conditions but with the added psychological slant of underlying beliefs and toxic starting points (see 2nd fetter). So all assumptions are fantasy since no outcome can ever be as we assume it will be. Our expectations are not founded in reality but in fantasy. And what we expect an outcome to be is a very clear guideline to what our underlying belief is. Uhhh, I hope you will come to the inquiry so you can get a more in depth reply! Much love
@@festral7509 There is both possibilities. Most people write but there are meeting rooms as well where you video chat with people. If you haven't got camera/microphone you just make use of the writing component. Which most people do.
I am very interested in this series, specially from a fellow awakened autistic, ...I call myself awakened as I am more conscious and aware than the non awakened people, I connect more dots and have a broader view, but appearantly I am still identifying with many of my thouths....I guess when one is deidentified, the autism concept will not matter either.....I checked the word "fetter", it means some sort of chain.....anyway thank you 😊
Hahaha yeah I can see how the confusion can arise. I am Aspergers and I have a tendency to be very direct so it is one part disclaimer the other part is, that because of the different neurology in an Asperger brain I perceive reality very different than neurotypical people does which has turned out to be super helpful for neurotypical people especially when it comes to FetterWork. But everyone are welcome, autistic or not
Hello John, a fetter is a hook we have into identification and an underlying belief of an assumed Self. We work with 10 different types of identification, hence the 10 fetters. The Awakening Curriculum takes you through a process where all 10 types of identification is seen through and you become awake. Thank you for asking and happy inquiry
Of course@@johnpaulson996 it comes originally from Buddhism. You can find all the information we have published so far on our homepage theawakeningcurriculum.com/fetterwork it is very lengthy and lots to read that is also why we create video and audio so you dont have to read yourself to awakening ;)
Your argument is not logical. Hear me out, please. Your trying to dismember a humen by saying a person is an ego or even nothing. I'll give you an example. You're trying to say that sight is not the eyes nor the brain and most certainly not the self and the sole (Self includes ego and consciousc) .. so what an eye, brain and self can do without a sole, it would be a robot with no use. Well I would say a person is the body, mind, self and sole in a period of time. Cause without your sole nothing will work.. your self will be dead, you'll be only a mind and body with no function. Also You're mixing time and the sense of now with your thoughts I'm so sorry for you that your missing your sole along with other people like you. You're missing out so much of the big picture.
Hello, I feel a bit reluctant to reply to you since it seems like you are not working with the fetters and non-duality but believe in a soul and by extension probably also a God and I have no need to provoke or make anyone feel uncomfortable, especially not in writing. Have you done any inquiries into your existence? Just sitting and noticing the difference between bodily sensations and thoughts will take you a huge step into what we are talking about and working with. If you have any questions to the experiences please feel free to write me again. I wish you and yours all the best

If you open RUclips in the browser, either Safari or Google, you can. But some people on iPhones can't even do that and then you have to log on a computer in the browser and the "join" button shows up. People on Android do not have this issue.. so there we go.. Let me know if I can help with anything else and THANK YOU for writing and asking and not just giving up! Much love
@@TheAwakeningCurriculumThank you Pernille - Yep, appears you’ve been down this road before. I do indeed have an iPhone/iPad - and tried through browsers but interestingly get bounced to the YT app. No worries, I can do through my PC via Chrome or Edge. I’ll let you know after completing. Thx again 🙋🏻♂️ - Johnny
Very clear❤
Hello Pernille and Everyone. I am a new member. I was made aware of you through both your interview of Angelo Dilullo and his interview of you. I really resonate with your detailed and insightful teachings. I have signed up for Vince's Sunday meetings as well as with Liberation Unleashed (am waiting for a guide) and am reading Kevin Schanilec's website and Christiane Michelberger's website as well. I am excited and grateful to be here. Thank you so much! ❤🙏🏼 Alara
Oh wow Alara, well done you!! I can see your message is a few months old, how are you getting along?
Hello Pernille. I've finished the guidance from Liberation Unleashed and attend Vince's meetings when I can. I am enjoying your teachings. There are ups (ie peace and spaciousness) and downs (ie challenges and resistance) so to speak but I am excited to be here. There's still some identification with the 'I". Thanks for checking in. 🙃🙂♥ - Alara@@TheAwakeningCurriculum
That was a lovely interivew.
This is super cool, thank you!
You are so welcome
Thank you so much ❤️
You are so welcome
A belief "Refugees should not have cellphones"...😂...Im going to start bringing popcorn to this fetters series, its so much fun. And also rich,deep,transforming,with greatly relatable examples from reality...Amazing stuff,thank you🙏
Hahahaha, how I love that you get my humour! Thank you!
I'm self aware selfing rn but it's Thanksgiving and I happen to be alone at the moment which keeps oscillating between being completely content and then watching myself attempting to text people to Garner some type of attention, from Happy Thanksgiving to should I tell someone about my spiritual experiences (spiritual ego) and then I prevent myself from sending anything 😂 and infact it's spilling out rn in this comment 😭😭😭 holy moly this validation Seeking IS SO STRONG! Hope this helps someone else (the egos rationalization) 😂what a persistent illusion!!!
Love this so much! Wow the insights... congratulations my friend.. and happy Thanksgiving
Wonderful comment and realisation.
I am wondering whether I should continue in my social action activities because much of them are based on constructs about our relationship to power. Just constructs which I believe are helpful in the relative world. But maybe I should withdraw and accept reality just as it is? Injustice doesn't exist. It's just a construct in my mind. Any thoughts?
Just to add. I am very peaceful and safe in my own reality. So maybe there is no war, there is no hunger, there is no inequality?
Oh goodness! Ok! One of the huge pitfalls when we work with non-dualism is nihilism! I know that a lot of radical non-dualists will say “there is no-one, nothing matters” We do not agree! Ghandi said “Whatever you do in life will be insignificant but it is very important that you do it because you can't know.” The 10th fetter points to “not knowing”. Yes it is true that in our direct experience there is no “I” anywhere. And yes it is also true that in the absolute there is no duality which also means no morality. So in the absolute it does not matter If people die in a war. It does not matter that human trafficking exists. And One can very quickly end up in the pit you are in where it does not matter if you are helpful or supportive or not. But we do not live in the absolute. Saying that nothing matters just makes us borderline psychopaths. If you feel into the body can you feel if there is a body-yes or a body-no to be helpful and supportive? Go with that. Instead of being compassionate from either an egotistical place where you want people to applaud you for helping out or from the other side of the gap where you do not help out at all because “nothing matters”, feel into the gap, into the middle way. Be kind and compassionate from a place of stilness, simplicity and contentment. Not from an opinion of either doing right or wrong. I hoped that helped you a bit, feel free to come to our meeting, the next one is on Tuesday. If you would like to participate write to Todd on unfetteredmindfulness@gmail.com and he will forward you the link. I am sending you much love.
This is hugely helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply so fully and thoughtfully. This does make sense and feels right, compassionate and non egoic. I understand what you mean about responding from the body vs the egoic mind. I had not seen it like this before. Huge thanks. I will contact Todd 🙏🙏🙏
There’s a belief I have: Jim Newman has a big fat ego.
I’m so sick of teacher saying you will not find it. It’s right here. Whatever it is, it’s right here and it is happening. Maybe it doesn’t stay in one shape maybe it doesn’t stay in one experience but it’s here.
So hypothetically, if someone asked you to give your opinion on something or needed you to analyze a situation and give an assumption about it. What would you do? Would you simply not have anything to say? This will be tricky for me because I have a job that requires me to do that a lot.
No of course not! The teachings and lessons about non-self and non-duality are meant for us to cease the suffering caused by identification. You got your job because your specific causes and conditions led you to be a person that is discerning, evaluating and concluding in line with the policy of the company. Which is all great! The issue might however occur if you start to identify as a person who is right in their discernments, evaluations and conclusions and bring that along for family dinner, or to deal with road rage or someone skipping you in the line at the grocery store. We are only looking at all this to cease our suffering. And it is SO interesting! If you want specifically to look more into the foundation of opinions go to the 4th lesson in the 2nd fetter and the 4th lesson in the 5th fetter about the bubble of reality and let me know how you get on.
Thank you :)
You are so welcome, Ishman
Well said🎯 heard this before but not this way…
makes you realize how much we are not in reality 🙄😬
Thank you so much, Mimi. Yes! completely crazy when we bring awareness to it! I would love to hear how you get on. Thank you for your comment
What do you mean I can’t locate the foot? We’re at minute 16 and I already don’t understand.
Ok, first off; thank you for writing! Most people will just shy away when they can't follow the lessons. I am so happy you are not doing that. Ok. Try this. Close your eyes. Feel your feet. Keep your attention on your feet. After a short while see if you can feel the boundary between your foot and the sock and the foot and the floor. You can't. With your eyes closed you can't feel the distinction. You feel some pressure or buzzing somewhere but not at the proper distance your feet has from the body. Try it and get back to me
Hello and thank you, It seems that the first 3 fetters have been seeing through a method of Inquiry, the feeling is that there so much more to see, I wonder if it is possible to do the 4 and 5 fetters in a group with you , as suggested, or something else can be suggested?
Thank you so much for your question. I am not doing groups at the moment, however do you know about Vinces Sunday meeting? There are many guides there that can support you, and Vince is gold! Write him on vinceschubert@gmail.com
How do I become a member to this group, please?
on my channel you click "Join" and become a member and if it was for Vinces Sunday meeting group then you write Vince on vinceschubert@gmail.com. I hope to see you there
My notes: 11:20 - ‘Do not wish for anything else’ [that’s a push to me]
So happy to hear it is useful. If that is a trigger for you check out 4th fetter. It is all about discovering contentment that is in the moment and not create that alternate reality where things can be better. Let me know how you get on.
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum actually I think it’s just a great pointer and will likely continue logging notes in these videos and I progress. ‘Trying’ and essentially being somewhere other than where you are has always been a thing for me. I’ve long suspected and observed/noted it’s almost rooted in all evil (so to speak 😂). Great stuff btw, thank you very much for compiling and creating all this content online virtually free of charge. Amazing actually to have all the fetter content like this on one channel to work through.❤️🙏
Some days I’m selfing and recognizing Being. Some days I’m Being recognizing selfing. Thank you for this video. It reminds me I’m Being. ❤
Love that so much!
how do I become a member of your Fetter Group if I only have Apple iOS ...I do have a credit card Thanks so much !!
RUclips has a flaw in their setup on phones. It is easier to do on computers. First off you need to subscribe to the channel and then either try to access RUclips via a browser on the phone or try to open RUclips via the app. Whatever you are doing; do the opposite. And thank you for your perseverance
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum when you say subscribe to the channel, do you mean the RUclips channel?
yes@@mauraoreilly9997 You in order to be able to join as a member you have to subscribe to the channel. When you are on your phone you can't join without subscribing. It's a flaw in the RUclips setup
What is “LU”? (@6:36)
Liberation Unleashed www.liberationunleashed.com/resources/articles/freedom/ where you find a guide. You can also ask in our Discord community if anyone are guiding at LU and would 'pick you up' there. Then you know you will get a guide that are working with the Curriculum. If you want the Discord link let me know and I will post it. It expires so quickly.
What is the word fetter mean in this context?
The 10 fetters is a Buddhist conceptual framework where we look into the 10 different ways we identify with topics that makes our life immensely difficult. You can read about them here theawakeningcurriculum.com/firststeps and then do the curriculum that dissolves all 10 and leads to awakening. Let me know how you get on.
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum thank you
How do you join Vinces group.
I’ve just see your reply below so I will do that. X
This is wonderful. Please can you give me some information about where I can find a group or guide and also what is your name? Thank you so much 🙏🌺❤️
Hello Tessa, thank you for your comment. I am happy you find the curriculum useful. If you watch this video ruclips.net/video/BFGpokouS2I/видео.html then in the description you find the information to connect to Vinces Sunday meeting. I hope to see you there
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Warmest regards.
How lovely she is!
Please help me understand, so if someone steals my handbag on the street, it’s just happening?
I would love to help you clarify so lets do a bit back and forth here:
How else would you see it?
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum Do I go to the Police and try to get the handbag back, or do I leave it? Thank you for being here for me.
@@evian. You are too quick.
Imagine you walk in the street and someone steals your bag.
That is happening.
Next step does not directly have to do with the stolen bag.
You probably need to go to the police for the insurance claim but also if some belongings show up they know its yours.
All that is just happening.
The interesting part is; how does that influence or affect you?
Have you experienced that?
Or something similar?
How long did it take you for the sense of self to be permanently seen through?
And would you say suffering ceased completely? (Psychological suffering)
Thank you so much for your question. To me it happened overnight. Or that is how it was felt. I had at that point being meditating for decades though and I assume that is why it was experienced like it was. I am talking about my experience in this video ruclips.net/video/1IUJ5b9WJws/видео.html
Yes, the suffering in traditional sense has ceased. So the mind made ruminations are not there. But I still stomp my toe, that pain is still there, the inner dialogue about why, how and who that happened is however not there. Or it might be actually, I just dont believe it any more than any of the other senses. So a sound or a smell or a taste is not more or less true than a thought. Does that make any sense? I am going to answer your question in more depth in the next Q&A video
Hi, thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. Do you happen to guide people one on one? I have the information for the Sunday group but have yet to attend. I’m going to try to catch it this Sunday.
Thank you so much for your comment, Amyr. No I am not guiding 1:1 at the moment. All my effort is in my health and in creating the Awakening Curriculum. I do recommend you to join Vinces meeting if you havent yet. He is a gem! I hope to see you there (I am watching the recordings)
41:10 continue pickup later
Love it!
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum😊
Hi all, Pernille suggested join ing Vince's group exploring the first three fetters...where do I find out about this? thank you
Super easy peasy.. you contact Vince on vinceschubert@gmail.com to join his Sunday meeting. Hope to see you there.. I often watch the recording afterwards so I will keep an eye out for you.
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum Thank you, email sent...x
Does consciousness become automatic, or is a constant state of ensuring consciousness required? I am waiting for the "drop off" I guess.
I don't know if that makes sense. I've had that first shift of recognising "I" doesn't exist, it's all just thought. However, it feels too much like I am experiencing that from a logical standpoint rather than the self dropping off completely.
If this is going by too fast try reading the transcript. Click on "...more" above, then click on "Show Transcript" at the bottom of the page. Pause the video and scroll the transcript at your own pace.
Hello there, can you help?. You ask us to join one of the groups and guide which I would like to. Where do I find them please? Thank you and great work..Malcolm
Hello Suryacitta, I am sorry I havent seen your message until just now! Yes, of course!
First off go to my homepage Damore.uk where you find all the information you need.
Contact then Vince on vinceschubert@gmail.com to join his Sunday meeting every other Sunday. Then go to LU www.liberationunleashed.com/register/ to get a guide. Remember to write in the application that you would like to do FetterWork. I would love to hear from you and maybe even meet in one of the groups
Thank you Pernille, I have now got an LU guide and I will join Vincent this Sunday/Saturday , much appreciated . Hope to you soon., Suryacitta@@TheAwakeningCurriculum
@@bemorebankei So happy to hear that! Well done! Not far from thought to action. Love that. Keep me posted on how you are doing
You are so adorable Pernille
Pernille I was just listening to you and vince in a vid called the 10 fetters and you said everything you think about someone else is really about yourself 😂 so do I think I am adorable 😂❤️
💕🙏🏼
Restlessly and Relentlessly waiting for a like 😂😂😂
Hahaha - I see you
All assumptions are fantasy? But what about pattern recognition and lesson's learned? If I hit a beehive isn't it fair assumption I'll get stung?
Uh it is such a good question with multiple layers of replies that leads to the clear seeing and understanding in the end. I would love if you would join our Inquiry group when we are back from holiday on the 20th of August so you can get a proper answer. The answer in short hand is: Everything we perceive as "me" is based on causes and conditions. Pattern recognition is based on causes and conditions. What is learned by a lesson is based on causes and conditions. And if we repeat destructive patterns knowing the outcome (I am thinking of addictions, arguments, scrolling instead of sleeping etc.) that is still based on causes and conditions but with the added psychological slant of underlying beliefs and toxic starting points (see 2nd fetter). So all assumptions are fantasy since no outcome can ever be as we assume it will be. Our expectations are not founded in reality but in fantasy. And what we expect an outcome to be is a very clear guideline to what our underlying belief is. Uhhh, I hope you will come to the inquiry so you can get a more in depth reply! Much love
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum Does the group take text only? I can't get the camera/microphone on my computer to work.
@@festral7509 There is both possibilities. Most people write but there are meeting rooms as well where you video chat with people. If you haven't got camera/microphone you just make use of the writing component. Which most people do.
@@TheAwakeningCurriculum I forgot to ask, where is the inquiry group and at what time?
@@festral7509 Oh I am sorry. It is at 12:00ET every other Tuesday. So next one is 3rd of September.
I am very interested in this series, specially from a fellow awakened autistic, ...I call myself awakened as I am more conscious and aware than the non awakened people, I connect more dots and have a broader view, but appearantly I am still identifying with many of my thouths....I guess when one is deidentified, the autism concept will not matter either.....I checked the word "fetter", it means some sort of chain.....anyway thank you 😊
Why is this called the “Asperger’s Guide to Awakening?” Isn’t this an awakening guide for everyone, or just for people with Asperger’s ? Lol
Hahaha yeah I can see how the confusion can arise. I am Aspergers and I have a tendency to be very direct so it is one part disclaimer the other part is, that because of the different neurology in an Asperger brain I perceive reality very different than neurotypical people does which has turned out to be super helpful for neurotypical people especially when it comes to FetterWork. But everyone are welcome, autistic or not
You keep talking about fetters. What is a fetter?
Hello John, a fetter is a hook we have into identification and an underlying belief of an assumed Self. We work with 10 different types of identification, hence the 10 fetters. The Awakening Curriculum takes you through a process where all 10 types of identification is seen through and you become awake. Thank you for asking and happy inquiry
Is there a list of the 10 fetters?@@TheAwakeningCurriculum
Of course@@johnpaulson996 it comes originally from Buddhism. You can find all the information we have published so far on our homepage theawakeningcurriculum.com/fetterwork it is very lengthy and lots to read that is also why we create video and audio so you dont have to read yourself to awakening ;)
Also my mind said i should skip way ahead like ur first 5 videos, tricky, so glad i didn't listen, thank you 🙏
Love it! Thank you for sharing that
Your argument is not logical. Hear me out, please. Your trying to dismember a humen by saying a person is an ego or even nothing.
I'll give you an example. You're trying to say that sight is not the eyes nor the brain and most certainly not the self and the sole (Self includes ego and consciousc) .. so what an eye, brain and self can do without a sole, it would be a robot with no use.
Well I would say a person is the body, mind, self and sole in a period of time.
Cause without your sole nothing will work.. your self will be dead, you'll be only a mind and body with no function.
Also You're mixing time and the sense of now with your thoughts
I'm so sorry for you that your missing your sole along with other people like you. You're missing out so much of the big picture.
Hello, I feel a bit reluctant to reply to you since it seems like you are not working with the fetters and non-duality but believe in a soul and by extension probably also a God and I have no need to provoke or make anyone feel uncomfortable, especially not in writing. Have you done any inquiries into your existence? Just sitting and noticing the difference between bodily sensations and thoughts will take you a huge step into what we are talking about and working with. If you have any questions to the experiences please feel free to write me again. I wish you and yours all the best
🤍🤍🤍beautifully presented Penille.
Thank you
