This wasn't missed or wasted on me.Whoa! Your laughing at the supreme inside joke.Thank you.Nice to see Chris.Shes everything friendly Canadian are known for.I admire her determination and work.all the best for her and her family.
Hello Angelo. Yesterday I sent a longer message with questions under another video of yours, but I deleted it again. This morning I came to this video and it is the answer to my deleted questions. Wonderful and liberating. Thanks.
Lol, i had the same thought. I thought i maybe did not need this. It was super scary for couple of hours, dying of something that was never here in the first place, such an irony
Nothing like sharing a good belly laugh! lol More and more the feeling I get when I meditate or do inquiry or just feel into the moment is that everything is always exactly the way it should be. Like it's actually impossible for all things to not be perfect exactly as they are. There's no sense of good vs bad, spiritual vs materialistic, or any of that. And those words don't really describe it either, because it's not like things can be possible or impossible or perfect or imperfect, they just fully are everywhere. It's so childishly simple...and then my adult mind sees the news and still goes, "Ya think all this perfect, do ya?!?" 🤣🤣 Gotta love the paradox!
Last 5 days, It feels like I’m in the place of Chris the weeks before her convo with her husband where things broke through. little to no resistance, seeking is surrendered, still selfing happening, but always a ‘this is it’ feel that holds it all. No more believing in idea of free will so I just let it all be. A weird aspect I noticed these last two days: when I look at others, the mind just can’t comprehend how suffering would occur in them. It’s like all it sees is just a human being doin it’s thing. I used to judge and be worried about my family and all their fixes n dysfunctions b/c I thought they were running from or perpetuating their suffering, and now the idea of them suffering doesn’t make sense…. Surprised and Confused about this lol enjoying the ride.
You can look for a sense of compassion within yourself. It can be helpful when interacting with people or else the extreme "equanimity" can make you feel alien to others (and to yourself)
Excellent intro: Ground floor - _end of identity_ perfect. 📺 This video really resonates with me. *Direct* experience of unfiltered reality is key. 😊 🙏 absolute confidence, and prayers of gratitude for her husband's health and recovery 💝
11:00 Why are we using this wording though? Like "the end of you, no self, ego". If the "you" that we're pointing to are some mental processes it makes no sense to say "the end of you" or to say "no self" and then say "true self", it's contradictory. Like, mental processes are not the ego, you may get identified with them, but they're still mental processes. And saying that there's no self, but saying that you are a true self is like saying you don't exist, but hey actually you do, get confused :P
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is so helpful. I found the freshness of her experiences and explanations very helpful in my own inquiry. Even though it's been clearly seen there is no person here I keep being hung up by my physical sensations. I injured my c2-c7 spinal column over 20 years ago and there has been extremely intense physical pain and that led to my going on opiates. I'm in the process of finally going off the meds and the pain is intensifying. I cannot seem to be able to surrender to and accept the pain. I know my aversion is getting in the way of my truly awakening. Hearing how the experience in the body and emotions shifted on dropping the sense of self aided me in relaxing a lot of my contracted guarded energy. This interview helped open some space and created more ease. So looking forward to the end of this seeker and self centered life. Just cannot thank you enough for sharing all you do here Angelo. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Blessings 💖🙏
I was willing to give up on a lot of people and certain situations that never truly appealed to me after a good while. No one can say their truly Too Awake for a Process.
I dove into this heavily for about a month or two. I had glimpses and realizations but for the past week I feel I’m full of fear. I get frustrated just listening to you or someone else talk about this. I really want to go back but I can’t go back. I don’t understand anything anymore and I know it’s all the mind but it doesn’t change what’s happening. It all seems to be for nothing.
Well as far as awakening this is a good sign. Two aspects, one is the “for nothing” interpretation. This is indication of moving past conceptual identity. Second is the fear barrier. I recommend stay with the practice or inquiry, become one pointed with attention. There is something in your experience right now that none of this applies to. It may be a whisper at first. Give it your attention. It will change ❤️
If identity is “an energetic signature” (as you say at 7:28), could releasing parts of it cause intense releases of energy through things like trembling and euphoria?
There is something which compels me to tackle the question without watching the video first. The question supposes that there is a choice. Once the tender balance flashes, even the concept of a choice is a good laugh. How long can you resist The Beloved? Ah well, maybe long enough to purchase a great gift made with these hands of endeavours and tasks. But, know these are kisses, merely. Am I not the child on the knee? Even when the eternities blister away, here I sit. Whose knees? What is This? Why does no one talk about infinity? (Oh. right. A little ineffable.). Am I close? Now, to listen...
I absolutely love being awake and my old reality is dead I can’t but barely remember anything but my life now is brand new I am the observer and life experiences is beyond…. ❤❤❤😊
Everything I use to remember in my old life. Is blurred out everything I use to recall for 19 yrs in my life is gone. Only have vage memories feelings of being unhappy a lot. And constantly wanting to 'Break Free' from something for the longest time. Then in 2014 it happened. Can barely connect the events that lead up to that time-line and how I started changing via wakening up. From so many years of disappointment by People. Always felt different before the Ascension Symptoms took place. Or just seemed more in the know of no one is noticing. I'll never miss my old life.
Well here is something I did not get from the book. The laughing was so contagious, it got me laughing. Got the mind distracted and reached the heart I guess.
🤩😅I'll take the laughs! And the ground floor. Down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass with Alice every single time! 🙃"Whoooo are yooo?" said the caterpillar... I literally used to sleep with those books under my pillow as a child, most likely hoping the caterpillar's question would answer itself before the sun came up again. Thanks Chris and Angelo. 💛
Is it possible that the shift is happening gradually? I know when it happens it will be obvious but two days ago while doing inquiry I was testing one of the questions I saw on your channel that was about looking around and asking „where does the separation start?” and I felt like the „seer” whom i usually feel in the center of my head came closer to the front of my face like it would like to go out and it kinda becoming a „seeing” and i can Grasp the sense of it and there is this silence but still the separation is there, I feel like its shouting at me „Please give me more time i need to say goodbye” and i realised today that i have stockholm syndrom to the suffering persona 😮 like thats the only thing i felt all my life so there is a lot of compassion at the same time. I also while deep inquiry feel pressure and pain in my head between my eyebrows and behind the head and when i try to treat it like any other Sensation to allow and let go its kinda not moving the pain is increasing.
Dom, yes, just allow these sensations. At times I would feel melancholy as saying a final goodbye to an old friend. Technically, we are rewiring our brains. Don’t resist or seek. Let go. Peace.
You have no idea (or perhaps you do 🙂) how these interviews help to pacify doubts; there's almost this sentiment: " wait, this really IS possible ". For some reason I found this particular interviewee triggering because some of her former ideas brushed up against some of strongly held beliefs; but here I am really appreciating this section of the interview which just hit me deep.
The basic use of direct experience is to see that there has been no prior use of direct experience. In effect, it makes itself obsolete. If "me" was gone then "you" are gone and you wouldn't know "you" had the experience that the "me" was gone. There is no way to get rid of what is not present in the first place so no worries. LIFE is the ONE here alive and is never not awake. No "body" ever wakes up to REALITY. PURE NOW - the SOLE SELF - not the words - is already at ITSELF. There is no such thing as awakening or enlightenment. LIFE is changeless. ALL has never separated from ITSELF. A pseudo identity never comes to an end because it never began. NOW - PRESENT AWARENESS is not a student of ITSELF.
ONLY NOW IS, leaving no "becoming," "getting to," or "how to." There is but one ALL. ONE cannot become what ONE already is. One wouldn't attempt to start a car that is already running. LOL
You can take it too far… there are points where, if “you” go “there” you won’t even feel human anymore. Buddha emphasized the “Middle Way.” Truth - the personal and impersonal - is “non-dual.” There was a study done on a westerner, a Buddhist monk and a Hindu yogi. Each subject reacted to a bell ringing. The Westerner had a “memory,” a reverberation of a bell. The Buddhist registered the bell exactly as it was, and the yogi didn’t register it at all.
I’ll humbly disagree and interject this. You can’t actually take the awakening process too far, tho you can definitely take sone wrong turns. One specifically is into disassociation which sounds like what you might be referring to. Thanks for your comment
I try to remember that life is very brief. Don’t overthink it and forget to live it. Joy and Gratitude for being here at all.
The laughing. So wholesome 🙂
The laughter is the best! Really no words needed. ❤
Right??
That is my favourite moment ever… when you are laughing..

Yeah, it was so much fun. Awesome.
Thanks for sharing this cosmic joke. Pure truth.
Very welcome
This is such a good interview. Thank you both for sharing
I love the laughter! It's genuine and powerful and completes the story perfectly. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Yes our ideas are so deeply shared and human, no need to shame ourselves over them!

Can the awakening process take a dark turn?
Yes dark nights of the soul are common in this process. Emotion and shadow work playlist has a lot of material on it :)

Yes. The self structure doesn't like "this". 😅
