hello all wrote this poem yesterday for day of love [valentine]. are we all doomed to feel lonely rejecting reality, spinning our perception like dead hors on our back never interacting with reality, but doomed to exist in graveyard of our memories, then asked where is love
Lately, when I would feel sadness or disappointment because I feel like I cannot sense or stay as my true self because of daily distractions, I have been developing the habit of reminding myself that this is simply not true. "I am always here" is kind of my new mantra. 😊
For me it hasn’t been as much the seeing through the illusion of the seeming chooser, but rather having “him” realize it’s safe to let go and surrender to life. “I’m being held, it’s all a-OK” turned out to be key for me 🔑
Hahaha, ego says: "OMG, Angelo is reading out my comment, I must be on the right track!" :DD - This is just ridiculous and funny at this point. But beware of the spiritual ego, wow, this one has so many ways to establish itself. Feels like playing whak-a-mole when trying to explore into it, seems like the best way to be with this is just to let everything go again and again. What a funny and sometimes frustrating game this is becoming. There is amazement at all of this, and there is a lot of pulling into desctractedness, everything is being allowed now, because it just is, no one stiring this empty boat, but somehow there is forgetting of this, too. And always the remembering, oh right, no captain aboard, no one on board, actually. So weird, so beautiful!
It's a game of whack a mole that actually plays itself, but we've grown so accustomed to hearing the narrator in our head go: (I got that one, and that one, and I missed that one, what a loser, and I got that one and that one and...)
thank you for this. I agree these videos are very helpful. I find the pointing powerful and feel as relevant to me as to the person who wrote the question. It is a great practice just being with the pointing or letting it wash over me.
Dípa Maa was a being par excellence. But she is also celebrity-ized by the Noting-Vipassana community. What really happened only she knows but she did have fairly intense trauma (UA-cam has her interview describing that) The idea that mediation practice causes awakening is sorta like photosynthesis causes earthquakes. They are different processes. With a long & strong meditation practice things do change eg patience, simplicity of lifestyle etc but soon one notices that it is also an identity /seeking game - I am more patient that X. Y is an advanced practitioner etc. One is back to square one. And becomes rather restless perhaps with the insight that if this much sincere effort cannot cause it they may never get awakened. Then someone like Angelo comes and says (his exact words): "Let go of all of that because it does you no good here. What were pointing to you can only enter completely disarmed which means disarmed of your spiritual baggage." Hmm wtf? Okay only place remaining which was being avoided. Awake nature finds itself on its own rather than anyone gets awakened or meditation or anything like that causing it.
7:05 Funny that my comment made it to the title 😄Question: After the no-self shift, is it common for people to experience drastic changes when it comes to physical activity? My body doesn't seem to like gong to the gym anymore. Will it pass? All the best /Jonas
How would a passionate political stance of the ego dissipate when it seems ultimately the right thing to do, to stand with the suppressed in a situation? Like how can you protest for peace and humanitarian need for everyone when probably that stance is also constructed? Do you get what I mean? Lol
Once the self has fallen away... who sees that I had hypnotised myself? Who thinks? Who speaks? So confused :( thanks for all the awesome videos Angelo
When this came up in the notification feed, I was like what, who is Parmenides? After Googling I still don't understand but your answer made me laugh. And yup, time is something I've lost along whatever this thing is but it's meant freedom. It might be hard for people to comprehend but when you get it, you just get it and everything just flows so much more naturally. 😂 I should add that I do need to set reminders for everything but most of life flows just as it needs to and just how it should. 😊
Had to google Parmenides, too and found some neat stuff: "Parmenides held that the multiplicity of existing things, their changing forms and motion, are but an appearance of a single eternal reality (“Being”), thus giving rise to the Parmenidean principle that “all is one.” From this concept of Being, he went on to say that all claims of change or of non-Being are illogical." - Sounds like the man was swimming in some non-dual waters back then ;)
About the sounds in the background, being distractive for some people, and not for others. I am one who cannot concentrate on the words if there is a background noise. This is not my mind not liking the background music, it is a hearing dysfunction, not a preference.
I only have an issue with the background sound if it has too much of a recognisable melody. Because melodies (at least in my experience) are specifically "designed" to elicit certain feelings. Of course there is nothing inherently bad about this, but for me it's distracting because my brain just gets automatically engaged by the melody.
Hey Angelo, I’m curious if your Ayahuasca experience brought up any unconscious/shadow material, or really anything worth mentioning. Is this something you’d be willing to discuss?
If there's no one here (who or what is doing it all and why?). If I have no power over anything (no free will and all is predestined) then what's really going on? My brain just wants to figure out what's really going on here (all just thoughts that are keeping me distracted from realising what's here).
Part of the poem by Parmenidese: Come now, I will tell thee - and do thou hearken to my saying and carry it away - the only two ways of search that can be thought of. The first, namely, that It is, and that it is impossible for anything not to be, is the way of. conviction, for truth is its companion.. The other, namely, that It is not, and that something must needs not be, - that, I tell thee, is a wholly untrustworthy path. For you cannot know what is not - that is impossible - nor utter it For it is the same thing that can be thought and that can be.
Oh, I thought the doubt would be resolved by some sort of insight-experience that would assure me that I'm enlightened. But you're saying, no, the insight is that such an enlightenment can't happen, because there's no one there to have it.
11:15 yea but MY teacher is something else. I mean...yah...like...your teachers good and all I'm sure...but if you met MY teacher...well then...yanno...
So many distractions in the world... Surely it would make more sense to take a few years off "life" to go and live in a place where all you did was meditate, listen to your videos (and similar teachings) and be completely free from distractions. While watching this video I'm just getting distracted by all sorts of things.
Non Duality is an idiotic term to refer to the Oneness of All Things. We don't need to deny duality. We need to understand duality within the context of the Unity of All Things.
@@thatchinaboi1 What we’re taking about here isn’t about understanding. It’s not a spiritual concept. It has to be direct insight or you’ll just fool yourself.
@@thatchinaboi1 You have one kind of experience of insight that you equate with understanding. I also have that experience of insight. I have another very different experience if insight that you don’t have (based on what you just said here). I am not the only one BRW there are many others. If you aren’t curious about that then really there is not much point in continuing the exchange. If you are curious about that that is another story. Usually the way into that curiosity is the recognition of one’s own suffering and the sense that that something can be done about it.
“The end of the one who cares”
i took on non-duality as a hobby but the idea of looking in the 'now' kinda clicked and realized ive been trying to do this thing since i was like 15.
Thanks to everyone for sharing this with everyone ☮ 🙏🎯♥😶🙏
Today I had a bowl of pasta with Parmenides cheese on top. It was delicious. ❤️

Man walks into an ancient Greek tailor’s shop with a pair of torn pants. Tailor says, "Euripides?" Man says, "Yeah. Eumenides?"
😱
I spent way too long trying to work this out lol.
You rip deez? Yea, you may need deez? That's what I got lol
Hahahaha..."you mend deez?"
Brilliant hahaha
Parmenides is mind-blowing! Quick three page read that I went over & over for months before deciding it was pointless to keep thinking about :^D.
this kind of videos are a great idea. i loved it.
I like to think (i know, i know, THOUGHT but hear me out.) Angelo will make more because he has no choice! thanks for real though, I love this format!
Here a path, there a path, everywhere a path path. E-I-E-I -O
E-I-E-I-Am
Thank you for the shout out to my poem. Your videos inspire me. As I clear up more I look forward to more poetry and more songs coming out of me.
thank you for this. I agree these videos are very helpful. I find the pointing powerful and feel as relevant to me as to the person who wrote the question. It is a great practice just being with the pointing or letting it wash over me.
Happy Valentine's Day 💌🤗💃
Love these type of videos. Stay with that singularity-Just this. That’s pretty freaking awesome. Thank you!
I like this format! Glad you're finding a way to address some of the great questions and comments. This seems like an effective way to do that.
yo Angelo, I think Parmenides is a kind of cheese, you have to change the thumbnail ;)
😂
if youre a hammer everything is a nail
if youre a seeker everything is sought, promises, illusions
around 23 min mark
thank you

It would seem as if every moment can be avoided --or not.

How do you unbind from time?

👈🏼 this should be your logo, “ the pointer “

Yes
Hey Angelo, I’m curious if your Ayahuasca experience brought up any unconscious/shadow material, or really anything worth mentioning. Is this something you’d be willing to discuss?
When you say "stay with that singularity" or being one pointed, can this mean that you stay with the Breath or maybe going the jhana way?
Omg hysterical 😂 the Parmenides

Now I have to look up Parmenides 🙄😂
the titles are so unhinged🤣🤣🤣🤣
Angelo: “Space and time don’t exist.”
Also Angelo: “It was timing. It was a particular spacio-temporal event.”
🤷♂️😂
what sound??
🙏🙏🙏
Came here for Parmenides and was disappointed.
Spacial-portal event....WHAT
give timestamp for Parmenides pls

So, like, have you heard of Angelo Dilullo? He’s DEFINITELY the coolest, yanno
Isn’t seeking also THAT?
Yes
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake
Thank you Angelo. There seems to have been glimpses of understanding that here , whatever understanding that means.
Parmenides talked about can't be swimming twice in the same river, meaning phenomenal world are changing...😅??!!
i like your jokes

She wasn’t enlightened if she died 💀💀
