About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.
Disclaimer: The information presented in these videos is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychiatric or medical illness. The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment. Seek help wherever necessary which might include a hospital emergency department, a suicide helpline etc.
I have not had a true shift, but can so resonate with your message. I know I’m where I need to be. I’ve always had this feeling that something was out to get me, to bring me home. I first noticed it when I was 24. I ran from it for most of my life. Now I’m ready to sit down and meet it. Long time coming.
This helped SO much ❤ Awakening happened here a few weeks ago, and now I was starting to doubt “myself” because of charged thoughts that clearly are pointing to hidden beliefs I should look at. Breaking up with my gf triggered the awakening, and all the senses where in awe for a several days, a luminous body was thriving all the time, attention emanates from sounds and and the visual field themselves… but also this process is now bringing to light all those past behaviors and patterns I was falling into unconsciously. The parts of “me” that I never wanted to look at. It hurts to see it now, I cry a lot. But somehow is the Universe crying and saying “we can feel EVERYTHING”. This video softens the blaming towards having thoughts after awakening, a seemingly belief that was there, still is, but is felt differently and for what it is. Can’t thank you enough, Angelo. Much Love ❤
Now I know what the New Order song “Who’s Joe?” Is about!
Listening to the song.. lyrics are so appropriate!
All this talk about Joe shifted me out of being Karen to seeing her. I have to laugh, identification really is silly!suddenly I have compassion for this person, Karen , who is both writing this and not. The saying that we should listen to our body really makes sense. I dont have to Even identify with the preferences, nor do I have to fight them, its just how karen is, this person. That’s cool, and it fills me with compassion for every « person »! Thank you Angelo ( the one behind).
This Joe analogy is so funny bc it’s so perfect and brilliant. Plus, I worked with a narcissist for two years named Joe and for that whole time the workplace was Joe Joe Joe lol
Epic pointing.
Now we need "Where's Joe?" merch 😂
Wonder if Joe is in Milwaukee😁
Something I seemed to notice lately is that when a thought arises, it is generally surrounded by a sort of dissociative bubble, almost like the different senses becoming fuzzy.
But lately, when I’m paying attention, the different senses seem to come together without any clear boundaries as one singular experience. And when I’m really paying attention, thoughts come into this gapless space as well, and can actually get drowned out by other sounds.
But it seems like this only happens when I’m paying attention, otherwise I’m in a familiar almost dissociative state and relationship with thoughts :/
This talk was so clear💫💫💫
Thank you Angelo for clarifying what kind of thinking is problematic. 😅
great....especially second half....
Adding my 2 cents to the role of cognition or thinking in these matters, I agree with Dr. Dilullo if he means thought dedicated to sustaining and enhancing the ego is a barrier to awakening. It is certainly the case with most individuals that thought serves the needs of the ego. It is also the case that when it is not the dominant function of an individual’s psyche in the psychological sense, that it tends to remain undeveloped. And in its most undeveloped state be negative or destructive if not tempered by a highly developed feeling function that expresses as compassion. However, to one whose dominant function is thinking (as opposed to intuition, feeling or sensation) and is developed in such a way that thinking does not serve the ego, that is, where Truth is the important matter, then thinking is not a barrier to awakening and, in fact, may be the best way for a person of this type to approach it. Least, that is how I see it while admitting that Joe is still confused about the matter.
Thank you

such a great vid! thanks :)
Angelo, thank you so much for this one. I would love it if you made a video about communication and relating- breaking it down as you did in this video.
12:58 Joe Mama! 😂
Bro, your name and comment is such a vibe
My lover reflected on his best self
Hey man, I picked up your book last year after an initial identity shift, something I appreciate. I spent a couple of months in kundalini bliss, but have since seen consciousness contraction. Recently this week, I've been dealing with a cancer scare, and considering I haven't fully stopped identifying with a sense of self, it's quite heavy. Any tips for navigating this situation?
Thanks
Yes. Check out the emotion and shadow work playlist. Co side within with fetter4/5 through the equanimity playlist as well
Wow man! What a great video!
❤🎉
This is so beautifully clear and hilarious it really is this absurd says the absurd voice 😅
Great video, especially the ending… who would i be if not trying to figure things out… thank you
Please help me to get over the sense that I am my body. When I go to find “Joe” I look down and see my body sitting there as it always is.
I understand that the body is always changing that it is more of a moving and ever changing collection of cells and even the cells are always changing and moving. But yet this collection, this complex process called the body is always there.
Thank you!!!!
Hi Angelo! One of the Joe's here. You should really issue a trigger warning with this video. I almost shit my pants every time you mentioned Joe. 🤣
Love You All, The All Of You! 💜🫶☺️

Oh God! It just happened! I mean, it's so stupid, it's so simple, how could I ever forget, it's not learnable. You can just stop. Stop it, stop everything. No thought, no past, no future. No narrative. No stories. No identity. Just you. Now. You want to stop. You like to stop. Stopping is effortless. Movement is effort. So stop. Thinking is effort, so stop. You can rest. Resting is okay. You can be the silence too. It's okay. It's painful sometimes, I know. But you can stop. It's okay to stop. Cheers, I'm gonna go stop now.
I finished your book and going through some parts again (Thoughts, emotions chapters, etc). I think you said that if we were to use this approach (being aware/observing Thoughts) that can lead to liberation? This is the approach I've been using so far. Sometimes I'll feel the sensations in my body as well.
I do worry about the future a lot. Things like "oh I have to get a check up at the doctor and now I'm worried about the worst case scenario". Or, I have to go to a social gathering and my social anxiety ramps up a lot just thinking about it.
I would think that this approach would help with worry about future events that pop in my head?
Thanks
Adding the sensation feeling you describe is the key. Over time the thoughts and worries will subside when the body correlate is depolarized
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake ❤️. Thank you, Angelo!
Not your average Joe video
Love a cup of joe first thing in the morning.
When you see that you don't have a joe , then it follows , it's obvious, that nobody else has a joe , but everyone goes round believing in joe, talking to joe , imagining each others joe but nobody has a joe, that's when the belly laughs kick in.
🙏🙏🙏

I can’t understand when we must just accept and feel, and when to ignore… for example, I have a thought I’m unhappy : do I have to fully feel it or do I have to ignore it because it’s just a thought?
If you find yourself wondering about all of this, just notice where you’re feeling something in the body and gently rest attention there :)
Real life
I don't agree with giving pure logic a free pass but dismissing logic based in personal identity - pure logic is the most identity based form of thinking there is, A=A is the principle of identity, and from that come the other dualistic principles - the laws of excluded middle and non-contradiction. These are the real insidious modes of thought, personal identity is just one of many manifestations of it. I feel that if you only see through personal identity without seeing through the abstract core of identity based thinking itself then that could lead to incompleteness.
All I can say is that when the self structure falls away things look radically different. Far more the. You realize is tied to identity inciting ALL forms of delusive thought, self deception, dualistic constructs and on and on. Even when people truly understand this and have significant degree of realization, they are very surprised when it actually goes, just how much goes with it
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Ok, I hope what goes includes all identity up to and including the 'laws of thought' . What is that symbol / emoji you added at the end there ? kind of freaky!
@@TH-nx9vfIt’s the zen circle.
so what’s the point of psychotherapy? isn’t this just about rearranging the thoughts? I know you recommended it after awakening but why
Is this a new thing bro or you posting old videos? I've seen vids in this setup already
new
A friend of mine, paraphrasing Thoreau, used to quip: “I lead a life of quiet masturbation.”
