too funny. something in this video just helped me realize how strongly I've been attached to the concept: "I must learn how to stop thinking before I can wake up." I seemed to employ quite a lot of thinking to figure that one out. which made me laugh out loud. and then I realized: "it's pefectly fine if my awakening process includes a lot of thinking." which made me laugh AND cry! too funny. thank you for whatever you said ❤
There is no one choosing anything, which was so clear in experience recently. What it has brought about is quite a bit of relaxation of this whole ordeal of finding the "right path", doing the "right practice", or even navigating daily life. It just became crystal clear, that nothing can ultimatiley be wrong or right, if there is no one doing it right or wrong. It just is. Wow, what a relief :D There are aspects of the ME-Structure, that still want to be here and be the doer, but it losens. - At the moment it is still trying to get attention for the big topics about the right and wrongs of Humanity, how it's apparently not possible and just irresponsable to let got of those judgements. It's coming and going. Quite interesting. But I feel like after seeing that there's really NO ONE making any choices, ever, there is just no going back from there and I just trust the process now...more and more.
Thanks for this video ! I am 95% completed reading your book for almost the second time (first time I read 84%) , and now I started self-inquiry during meditation and putting attention on the 5 senses, I was not sure if I was just being crazy about doing that 😂 but my ground is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I wanted to thank you for your wonderful book 🙏🏼
Your shirt is about to take me out. Love the popcorn analogy. I’ve been doing some sense field inquiry this week. My attention very much on the present, but then I get so disoriented. Eventually, I’ll grab onto a thought that says, “You won’t be able to function. Turn away!” How can one ever turn away?! Has to be some fear or doubt. I’m determined to dive into it, when it presents itself again. Thank you.
Beautiful! For me the binding and stickiness comes from logic. I always thought that logic would be able to "lock pick" everything in this world. My logical mind has a hard time admitting defeat even though I know deeply in my heart that there's a direct path to lift the veil of illusions ... How do I break the tool that I thought would help me escape this illusion?
Being honest about intention is helpful me-thinks. I may wish to entertain myself and push and pull and so forth, and when that is the case it is helpful to not deceive myself about what I am doing. I may read the Bible in the same spirit as playing Mario Kart. It is entertainment.
I really liked this video! (this music made it intense!👌🏼) 5:10 can you walk (us) through a mock process of investigation these beliefs? I have difficulty with understanding how to do self inquiry. I can’t seem to “catch/grasp” it.
Even if you got out menu, and picked out a path... Who did that choosing? Where did that come from? Why this one and not that one? These are, of course rhetorical questions. As you say. Just look.
I've sought like a madman for decades with every method and tradition I could, and nothing truly worked until I opened up to including Bhakti, devotion. This finally lit a fire which led to a first awakening. We all have to go where we don't want to go.
@@snakedogman I went weirder than that. I picked a dead Guru, as I didn't wanna be in a cult. It was Sri Nisargadatta, and for a while it felt like he was around leading me and showing me things, lots of synchronicity. Then, after the awakening, it's like my devotion disappeared, and I couldn't feel a presence anymore. I did a lot more things than just bhakti but it was an important ingredient, as it balanced out an excessive intellectual bent.
10:29 Hi Angelo. Could you please clarify what you mean here by "putting your attention in the sense field once you have broken that spell long enough." Are you talking about experiencing awareness here?
i also wonder about that. sometimes the way angelo talks about the sense fields reminds me of how presence feels, maybe it's a way to give consciousness an orientation toward non-conceptual experience?
I never even heard of it before and i woke up i think it would have take alot longer had i been chaseing it.I was just fasinated about the origin of identity and if i had none what would that feel like it went on from there no books or videos just afterwards to find out what it was i think do your own experiments onece you pull the thread it happend naturally for me.I think curiosity is the key not methods.
How do I awaken/let go when I am in a VERY challenging/damaging marriage, and my beloved pets are sick and dying 😢 and all the other life challenges that have me in deep anxiety and sadness….? Please and Thank you!
One moment at a time. Only this moment. Feel everything, wide open optics in the visual field, sound is all encompassing. Trust this. Don't think in terms of time and the answer for this moment will be this moment. Everything else will take care of itself.
this was so touching to me somehow: 'do you know how to go there? yes. of course' and also the acknowledgement that the willingness just has to come online. intentionality is so baffling and frustrating to me. there's a powerful pacifier there, the idea that i can still solve it one day. hasn't worked, won't work i'm sure, but it still feels powerful. thanks angelo 🪷

I took the stroke parh... Doing good recovering!
No doctrine, no dogma, no BS, no identity to maintain= freedom/peace..Thanks for helping us let go of conditioning. ❤

Natural. Come to be one of my favorite words. Not trying, not pushing or pulling, no need. Just is.
This is a much needed talk...thanks.
Angelo, you blow my mind. In such a super good way. 🙏🏾🤙🏽✌🏽🍿

Stunningly natural precision ❤
THIS! Equanimity within uncompromised openness. Conceptual - until it’s not. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so very much 🙏🏼

Wow....this was mesmerising ❤ Thankyou
My pleasure 😊

Which god was graced with your devotion?

I totally knew how you were gonna answer this topic. Awesome video! And based on personal experience, I was nodding my head as I watched.
Ofcourse, he's always gonna give us the truth wether we like it or not lol. But the mind will always be looking for some candy to grab lol
Thank you 🙏 💕

10:29 Hi Angelo. Could you please clarify what you mean here by "putting your attention in the sense field once you have broken that spell long enough." Are you talking about experiencing awareness here?
Are you intentionally not mentioning awareness as to not make it into an object for the mind?
i also wonder about that. sometimes the way angelo talks about the sense fields reminds me of how presence feels, maybe it's a way to give consciousness an orientation toward non-conceptual experience?
@@sasha0ixland Yes, i think that's most likely the case.
@@macaroon147 what is your experience of awareness like?
I never even heard of it before and i woke up i think it would have take alot longer had i been chaseing it.I was just fasinated about the origin of identity and if i had none what would that feel like it went on from there no books or videos just afterwards to find out what it was i think do your own experiments onece you pull the thread it happend naturally for me.I think curiosity is the key not methods.
Off topic - did you create the music ?
I'd like to know too

@@SimplyAlwaysAwakethank you SO much 💞 I will practice this
Is there a whisky path? 🤔
😂😂
Nope, I’ve tried.
There was on mine, for 35 years. Horrible consequences throughout but the end result was it led me here so it was quite perfect much to “my” chagrin 😋
Pffffffttt no.
There’s a tequila one though.
Yeah there is. Seek out Shane MacGowan, he's the authority. Slainte
💥❤🙏
Yeah you can choose your path what are you talking about. Maybe say there's noone choosing it 😂😂😂😂😂
Attention as a sense of curiosity, rather than a seeking for. 🙏🏻🤍
this was so touching to me somehow: 'do you know how to go there? yes. of course'
