Thank you so much Angelo, I had a huge awakening event in the last few days that’s directly due to your teaching, I saw directly the emptiness of this awareness itself while engaged in enquiry while running on a treadmill, This is it!! This is everything, there is no centre, the inside and outside distinctions are imagined, and it’s basically showing itself to itself!!! The seeking is over, This is it, and has been the whole time! Thoughts are not distraction anymore, because they too are It. Been a wild few days since but this feels so final, it all makes sense now, EVERYTHING is empty, even awarness!!! Thank you so much
Angelo, I’m 38 male from Brisbane Australia. Had an awakening about 3 weeks ago in bed while watching my ceiling fan and listening to the rain and wind outside. It was like an insight/vision. With clear unquestionable doubt that who I thought I was, was a prison. And it like registered with me and I knew. And I just said out loud “omg I’ve been gone so long” Then I just felt like my heart open up like you would watch a flower in fast forward on tv it felt like that, over flowing with love. Then I just went to sleep . Now I’ve been having all my past come up crazy, thoughts, I had a hectic childhood, feels like I’m getting slammed with thoughts and emotions. I had no idea about this awakening stuff till I started googling what happen to me. Everyone around me thinks I’m nuts with what I’ve just said here 😮
I appreciate getting to experience these teachings, or inquiries. Your content has helped me discover a depth to meditation that I had forgotten. Thank you for that.
So I take my staff, and set off carefree down the road. Walking along, I follow the drifting stream to its source. But reaching the headwaters has left me stunned. That's when I realized, that the true source, isn't a particular place you can reach. So now, wherever my staff sets down, I just play in the current's eddies and swirls. Even if you read through countless books, you're better off sticking to a single phrase. If anyone asks which one, tell them "know your own mind, just as it is"
I like the video. I'm one of those who can only seem to catch a thought after the fact. My identification is so wound up in there that I can't seem to notice them as they're happening. (Even this very frustration, which I know as a thought, I struggle to recognise in the moment.)
A refinement of your pointing here really struck me. I mean the refinement of moving away from putting a little effort into clarifying/defining the thought and toward simply seeing it and letting it sort of sublime back into the amorphous swirls and eddies of the thought space. That type of approach plus noticing the “selfing” value that certain thoughts (I call them “flanking thoughts”) try to come in with while doing an exercise like this (the doubter, the knower, the wonderer, the explainer, etc) really helped me break mind identification and round out awakening.
Angelo, the timing of this video is so perfect for me! It's totally relevant and speaks directly to exactly what I'm working on right now. And yes, it would be very helpful if you continued to make more like it. Thank you not only for this video but all the others you continue to record and upload without a break (I can't keep up watching them all, lol). I very much appreciate all you do for us and I'm eternally grateful for your love and guidance 🙏🙏🙏
This is funny. I tried already 3 times to watch this video in the evening because it seems important to me. But each time l fell asleep 😂 l wonder if there is some kind of resistance
How bizarre and lovable "this" is, literally just read the section in your book on moving toward thought, switch on UA-cam and bam. This thing we call the universe or isness or now is so simple to flow with when we just let it. ❤❤❤
Love this. Very helpful. I thought I was making progress by noticing my thoughts but there was always me noticing them. This meditation helped me to just sit in the knowing,, period. I will definitely practice this.
This is so helpful. I plan to practice this- my thoughts literally almost stop when I follow the guidance you lay out. It’s so easy to get caught up in the dramas of work and every day life, but I can give myself the gift of slowing down! Thank you Angelo. 🙏🏼
Been listening to you, Angelo, for about a year or so. I never picked up on the statement or idea that the one who is noticing a thought is a thought. Would that include the idea of me or I when I look for it. Is that also a thought? When I meditate, there is a sense of I, a being or watcher. Is that a thought? I sense it right behind my eyes. Quiet. What I feel is awareness. A place or subject I feel I am "sitting" and seeing/hearing thoughts. Am I completely confused? I have been confused about the "no self" or "can't find a self" for some time.
Ive watched it 10 times already, every word is a bread crumb in this direct "path". Every phrase has a holding nature into itself. I've paused it many times just to sit with that insight or that inquiry. This came at perfect timing too, for I am having unfolding experiences in my relationships; or am I having those unfoldings because of these insights and inquiries? I am very grateful for your contributions, and yes, extremely helpful.
When I started meditating, in my mind there was a blank that thoughts would filter up time to time. I'd notice them and release them. After years of meditation now there is ALWAYS" a noticeable undercurrent of thoughts/concepts that bubble along during meditation. I'm not sure what to do with this.
Thank you so much, Angelo! I have been tuned into this simple approach for a time now, but strangely, when I watched this video this evening it seemed to clarify itself in me. So strangely paradoxical; so simple and subtle. Coming home without having ever left. Beautiful.
There is a tremendous amount of anxiety present the last few days and some very odd nauseous symptoms I’ve never experienced couple with a felt sense that’s pleasant and unpleasant too. Familiar and yet not. Idk but it’s freaking me out.
When you say consciousness is “the totality of all experiences”, does that mean it’s what the other five senses are made of (not just what thought is made of)?
Angelo isnt it wild that you have a library of 100s of videos all talking about this. And they are all different. And there will be 100s more. And it’s just all actually about one thing. Idk just seems wild. And for no rational reason I’m happy about that. Thank you. I hope you’re having a good day. Edit: Yes this was interesting. You asked, how did it go? I couldn’t say but 👍
Honestly I thought dropping thoughts and ego would be more like a serious experience. But honestly I’ve been surprising myself with how funny I find all of this is idk how to explain it but I’ve been feeling so flexible I guess
Hi Angelo. Recently in meditation and day to day life, I've noticed what main topic has been drawing me into thought identification. It's based around my relationship with my girlfriend. Now I'm aware of this, where should I take things? Edit: watched the whole video, thanks
So, what about thinking as a tool? like when working or problem solving (inevitable scenarios in society)? I assume the thinking gets done by itself, but the mind tends to sabotage itself by thinking a lot more than it is supposed to (adding this layer of self in apparent control). Like stirring dirt in water so to speak. Is the right way of thinking, just opening up and let the thinking think by itself? without any effort? Thanks so much, Angelo for all your insight! Loved your book by the way.
angelo, is there a difference between consciouss thought and unconscious thought? so i can now think: hello hello hello.. in my head, in comparison to the reactive thoughts? by the way, do you want or need an intro for your videos?
What are your thoughts on ADHD meds and awakening? Can the improved executive functioning help see through illusions?Since post-awakening, things got messy, a lot of depression, fatigue, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms have a risen likely connected to early trauma. I could use the support of meds but don’t want to be hindering the emotion work.
Angelo, i experienced a moment recrntly where I felt like had ket go of alnost all attachment, however the thought of letting go of the attachment to my wife pulled me right back into the mind. There is a fear of what happens to my relationship after moving beyond attachment. Do you have any advice?
When remaining as consciousness, there is no need to simultaneously feel the energy? The energy will be felt naturally, as a byproduct of remaining as consciousness? In other words, everything in the world of form is naturally experienced in its pure form, when simply remaining as consciousness? Just keep letting it take care of itself and everything else…as it naturally stabilizes and “deepens”? Thank you!
That is correct depending on what you mean by reality. Though I don't always agree with what the next statement often is in regards to that recognition ;)
It feels noisy and busy. As I look I notice a ton of things (sensations, half thoughts) all popping up, and my noticing of them is part of that, too No pulling or resistance, but it feels noisy
Underneath it, even as the stuff is popping up, here and there, it’s quiet. Steady. Not completely formless, but no discrete form or nature. Not void, but not a fixed thing. Closest is a white blob with no edges, center, or content. Just totally non-physical, but suggesting some kind of …existence. Very interesting!
Holy cow… I just remembered something. When I was a child, say six or seven, I would close my eyes in bed, and I would see the entire universe, the whole content of my experience simultaneously shrink and grow into a pure, uniform, white blob, like a solid bubble of something, from which there was nothing separate-everything else disappeared, inner outer, etc. I became the blob. I am pretty sure that was this, and this is it. Nuts! Thanks for helping me reconnect with this! What an effective pointing! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Hi Angelo, The fact that there is only what’s here which is the same as consciousness of it has gotten much much more obvious recently :). It’s effortlessly already here! A question though: Attention for some reason goes back again and again to sensations on the face and a mental images of the face. They are predominant and tight. Does this relax gradually? It’s not very comfortable obviously :) any tips? Thanks a lot and love your videos!

Greetings! I would love more of these kind of pointings please!
Ok
Angelo, your videos often seem tailored to my specific occurrence just hours after my self inquiry. It's like you're there with me😊
My experience is the same
Same !
Boom! I was going write essentially the same comment!!! Thanks Angelo!
Same
He is the Yoda of non duality 👍😁
When I follow you through this I feel like I end up very much in my head. I start to feel actual tension in my brain

You’re in the right place. Angelo is a wonder-full guide.
Awesome. Check out the playlist consciousness and also emotion and shadow work ❤
😊❤
I love you
I wanted to write exactly the same
I have never heard this expressed in such a tender way. Thank you.
Yes simple to the point and you can do it true the whole day.
There used to be a fear of thoughts, but even that was seen to be a thought. This is such a powerful practice. Thank you 🙏🏼
This was amazing. Especially the inquiry about what is it that makes one able to know thoughts.
I appreciate getting to experience these teachings, or inquiries.

This was a beautiful practice very peaceful. Thank you
Thankyou. This is what I've been doing for the last year and wondered what it was ......feels very natural. Can't get enough
You are so clear in your description of thoughts! You newest videos make no room for any mind interrogation! Kudos!
Yes, please more like this 🙏☺️
Very good. Thank you very much
love it, do more
if he does any more i think consciousness will have a burnout lol.. i think thats what black holes are haha
I love this pointing
Ya, do more.
Hi Angelo, yes that was helpful and experiential, will come in handy. Thanks!
7:26 so subtle ❤
Jesus christ! Wtf??!!......... i will listen this thousand times !
Love this. Very helpful. I thought I was making progress by noticing my thoughts but there was always me noticing them. This meditation helped me to just sit in the knowing,, period. I will definitely practice this.
Dang. Jus like that, thanks
It was good because you helped show the anxious bodily feeling that turns into a thought. Or maybe that thoughts are used to cover up.
I find these type of videos so helpful, it really breaks it down for me. Thank you.
This is so helpful. I plan to practice this- my thoughts literally almost stop when I follow the guidance you lay out. It’s so easy to get caught up in the dramas of work and every day life, but I can give myself the gift of slowing down! Thank you Angelo. 🙏🏼

Is the uncomfortable sensation I constantly feel in my solar plexus a thought? Or the noticing of it- that's a thought?
Ive watched it 10 times already, every word is a bread crumb in this direct "path". Every phrase has a holding nature into itself.

🙏Feels like melting ,like its feel. Thanks
There is a tremendous amount of anxiety present the last few days and some very odd nauseous symptoms I’ve never experienced couple with a felt sense that’s pleasant and unpleasant too. Familiar and yet not.
Idk but it’s freaking me out.
Don't resist, feel it and let it work through
Thank you, Angelo. I really enjoy these direct-experience videos. ❤
You are so welcome
More please. This is super helpful
When you say consciousness is “the totality of all experiences”, does that mean it’s what the other five senses are made of (not just what thought is made of)?
Is this what Adyashanti would refer to as resting as awareness? Same practice?
Took me here. Thank you
You're welcome
Lots of things are thoughts that I thought weren’t thoughts
Or should I say lots of thoughts are thoughts that I thought were things.
Yes❤
❤

Edit: watched the whole video, thanks
is god/conciousness in control? does it do what it wants?
So, what about thinking as a tool? like when working or problem solving (inevitable scenarios in society)? I assume the thinking gets done by itself, but the mind tends to sabotage itself by thinking a lot more than it is supposed to (adding this layer of self in apparent control).

See thought as a present in a box with a bow , you don't have to open it nor pull on the bow it will go with the flow

You know a lot of spiritual teachers say your thoughts shape or create your reality, makes for a lot of doubt in us mortals. Can you speak to that?
That is correct depending on what you mean by reality. Though I don't always agree with what the next statement often is in regards to that recognition ;)
It feels noisy and busy. As I look I notice a ton of things (sensations, half thoughts) all popping up, and my noticing of them is part of that, too

The question always comes: So what's next? Nothing happens when resting in this " i am".
The ideas of "Next" and "nothing happening" are interrelated. Do you see how this works?
It is on the outside which is surprising
Hi Angelo,
The fact that there is only what’s here which is the same as consciousness of it has gotten much much more obvious recently :). It’s effortlessly already here! A question though: Attention for some reason goes back again and again to sensations on the face and a mental images of the face. They are predominant and tight. Does this relax gradually?

It's not a problem :)
Confusion requires thought. That is sth.
