Love that saying from the Gospel of Thomas. Eckhart used to quote it often. The translation he used (paraphrased from memory) was “ The Kingdom of Heaven does not come with signs to be perceived. You cannot say, ‘There it is over here or over there,’ but truly I tell you, the Kingdom of Heaven is within you/in your midst.” I really like the translation you used too, I have never heard it before. Beautiful pointer & video. Thank you Angelo for posting even today and Merry Christmas to you and yours 🙏🏼💖 P.S. - “Keep gently probing with curiosity until it hits us over the head” 👌
I can get to this “I am” feeling relatively easily but I find it takes considerable effort or focus to stay there, to resist slipping back into thought stream. Eventually I fall into a transcendental state of meditation which is effortless but where there is very little alertness. I notice here sometimes there is a definite though stream that almost seems like dreaming… but because there is very little awareness here in this transcendental state I don’t feel actively engaged in this thought stream.
You continually amaze me Angelo with your divine gift of expressing the ineffable' isness' of BEING...the Kingdom of Heaven...the I AM with such clarity, beauty and joy . Having read your book, watched many of your videos and listened, daily, upon waking to your meditations, the gratitude here for you and all that you share cannot be overstated. Thank you, Angelo. Much love.💖
What a beautiful message Angelo! Just found it today... go figure! But considering there's no time in eternity, the message is always current and true! Something to keep listening over and over again 🙏❤️ Merry 2023!
Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. [And after they have reigned they will rest.]" When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty." Jesus said, "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. [And there is nothing buried that will not be raised.]" If this isn't about inquiry and true nature?? 🙏💚👁🤲
Thank you again Angelo. Your videos are exceptional. I had a glimpse where I FELT that this moment an my SELF were one and the same thing. But your words taught me not to try and grasp that feeling again, but to simply open up to the bare moment. Not the moment that is squished between past and future, but the only moment that ever is. 💚
I have a question, if you see this: Back in August, I woke up. I lost it three days later. It was an experience of massive, almost suicidal frustration that caused me to wake up. I was SO done with seeking. Do I really have to work myself up to that level of frustration in order to wake up again? The thought of it makes me sick, lol.
The pointing in this video is absolutely amazing. This one, in particular, spoke to me in a way I just can't put into words. Thank you, Angelo! Merry Christmas!
Damn, I guess this is why I was stuck; I believed that time was an inherent property of the mind. Now I see that this was just a belief. The way the mind seems to take you away from here… I was making that very real, thinking it was hardwired in and unchangeable. Thank you for pointing this out!
It occurred to me that the tree of the knowledge of good end evil can be seen as a metaphor for the mind. The ego tempts us to consume its fruit (dualistic thoughts) and our addiction to them veils us from realizing that we are already in the garden of Eden.
😀😀😀 so good, something clicked, really effective and clear pointing 🙏🏻 I feel like this video alone will be pretty rich practice for a while ❤️ thank you & Merry Crimbles Angelo.

Merry Everything and Happy Always to you dear Angel(o) 🙏🌠♥️ "The virgin birth is the arising into the appearance of time and space of that which is eternal and immortal and timeless." ~Adyashanti
Angelo, you ask the question: “Do you find any evidence of time?” It’s very hard to extricate oneself from the concept of time when you’re surrounded by objects (in your home say) that have a history or story behind them-items that once were new that have aged. These objects we’ve accumulated over many years are constant reminders that we are people moving through space and time-though in this moment there is only what’s here now. What would you say to this? Is the answer to “look more deeply” at the things in our surroundings and deconstruct what we think we know about them-something like “A Course in Miracles” asks us to do?
Oh I love this I believe this I found the kingdom within myself heaven is here on earth and when I speak of it like to one of my family members she says heaven is up there lol
A wonderful Xmas message.......still many spiritual teachers talk about how the body holds trauma's which come from the past (time).....and that the sense of a personal egoic identity develops around 4 years old (past time). So they speak of the past as if it were a real thing. On the other hand, they say there is only Now ....and past and future are not real. Maybe I am getting too conceptual here (as I usually do)....but I wish teachers not speak so much about past traumas....and more about the I Am as in this message....
Aware that you are aware. Stick to that as a practice. Soon you will notice that there is nothing but awareness. All there is, is only awareness. There is nothing but the kingdom of heaven. Or as the Sufis would say quoting the Quran says, where ever you turn, there is the face of Allah (God) - 2:115.

This is one of my favorite Jesus quotes. It's so relevant to awakening. Your heart is open and this is the kingdom without a doubt.
