Thanks for all these video's. The video of the 8th ox herding just pop up today 11/19/24. That one lead to this 1st one. So grateful and excited to hear to rest of them and to finish with suffering, that's here. Also the possibility to be able to help relieve suffering that that arises in and around the one who suffers.Because of the selfless sharing of these video's, that are getting the awakening message across to our true nature. Thanks to you, me, we, it,for this opportunity to be awake Freedom everywhere.
Great idea for a series. I remember first seeing these prints and no explanation was included. Still, they drew me in. Thanks for offering your understanding 🙏🏻!
I would imagine it is very difficult to not complicate this whole process…if I can call it that? I am watching your videos and when you are on Dr. Z. I am curious, but I do not like complicated things, so I will stay with you and see where this leads. Besides…I just got a fortune cookie that said “Your curiosity will bring you great fortune”. I assume the “fortune” is knowledge about this awakening process …of course I am kidding…sorta.?..and no, I am not superstitious. I just like Chinese food. 🙃 In all seriousness…thanks for your time and efforts on this subject.
It is absolutely NOT complicated. All the seemingly complicated stuff I say is actually to undo the complications of the mind. It's closer and simpler than you realize, I promise. It's also not something "out there". All the BS you have learned is out there... this that i point to is nice and comfy right where you are ;)
The playlist emotions has some in it. Also the book chapters on emotions and beliefs is helpful. At the root of every emotional fixation is a belief or set of beliefs "this is too much" "I can't handled this" "This will overtake me" etc. Basically we have a lot of fear tied into emotions and the narratives that we believe about ourselves are actually layers of identity that overlie more fundamental layers of narrative identity that we have learned to avoid. So the emotion and shadow work is sort of done in layers.
As fun as Maps can be to acquire and understand, it is NOT the territory. Just more story for identity to grab hold of. "Walk straight, no matter what, without fear." - JK You don't have to know where you're going. In fact, you can't. There's ALREADY no position from which "Knowing" can get hold of. It's a false idol! 😂✌️❤️
Indeed... in my experience one can fixate on maps to their own detriment as I warn in this video. Interestingly to throw out the reality of deepening realization and the possibility of deeper experiential insights can be a serious mistake as well ( a lot of recent neo-advaita), esp for avoidant personalities. Dogen points to this as does Buddha himself :)
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake there was and still is a joy in map aquisition here, just seemingly no longer a desperation for a "right" one. I like to imagine the energetic sense of not knowing to be "ground" for insight to flower forth from. Not unlike how knowing can seemingly flower "realness" or solidity to THIS.
I appreciate the work you are doing in sharing your experiences. And i realise the story is only using the Ox as a symbol. It is a symbol I dislike and it pains me. I will watch you other Videos. Thanks.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Perhaps a dog? A carrot? Scorpion? ; o) edit. That was weird I was just trying to be spontaneously funny. In the Chinese calendar I'm an earth dog, zodiac scorpio and my nickname at school was carrot top!! My therapist would have had fun with that !! lol

Any recommendations for shadow and emotion work?
The playlist emotions has some in it. Also the book chapters on emotions and beliefs is helpful.
