    Angelo, I have to tell you that you’re not only helping so many people awaken with your guidance, but you’re also helping people in general. I have had very debilitating tinnitus for over 20 years and when I tried your technique of tuning into the sensation vs. resist / distract and invite it to stay as long as it wants to… the results are noticeable. I am less angry about the condition now and what used to sound like sirens, sounds slightly less negative and sharp now …and I just started. It’s helping me drop my anger and resentment for the condition by welcoming it and embracing it as perfectly ok. This is over 2 decades of heavy brain wiring I have to undo, but it was your technique that has started what I think is working to make it more tolerable.

      I had tinnitus for a few years after damaging my ears with a starting cannon for a boat race. I'm sure you know all about it. In my case, drinking alcohol made it worse, so I quit drinking. Something I couldnt do before I was 41. The ringing kinda became my buddy, since it helped me quit drinking. The tinnitus did eventually go away. I know that's not what always happens...so I wish your does go away. but if not, I hope the way you view it continues to be one of less suffering

    Darkness became such a part of my life that when it wasn't there I longed for it. I felt like I was insane for feeling like that. Why would I miss misery? Until I actually embraced the darkness and realized I am what I am. Light and dark. Ying and yang. I no longer try to pay penance for the past, or feeling I deserve to suffer. I am motivated by the darkness now. It drives me to be the persona I put forward. I hope this make sense to someone and helps. Your video is a good wakeup call many of us needed to hear. Thank you.

    Thank you for the video. Suffering or pain or the appearance of body and the world content come from the waking mind (knowledge). Would it be wonderful to live without any labels / knowledge and without any boundaries? Yes! Would it be wonderful that we snap our fingers and be awakened no matter how or what the mind is because there was never any separation in the first place? Just like all of us wake up from a sleeping dream. Waking up from the waking dream should be just as easy! Angelo, your contribution to making the videos is much appreciated. Thank you.

    • @SimplyAlwaysAwake
      @SimplyAlwaysAwake  2 роки тому +8

      You can but don't push too hard. You can also simply lean into the senses throughout the day when you think about it. Repressed emotions will come to the surface naturally, no need to dig typically. When emotion comes if it's not clear what it is, you can inquire "What am I feeling?" then give it time or write down the possible answers until it's more clear,. Then just sit with the sensations of it :)

    Angelo - any guidance on my experience would be very much appreciated. I would say I am in some very deep existential pain/suffering and confusion at the moment. I had an very challenging Ayahuasca experience last July (the ceremony itself had some blissful moments and but did experience complete disconnection with everything at the end on my last ceremony that lasted like 30 minutes where I felt I was going to stay there forever but I think that left me confused and quite shaken). The next couple months after the ceremony I would feel blissful but then confusing moments, almost like walking on egg shells and sensing that with any wrong move I was going to fall into some sort of darkness. And then the darkness, pain, existential confusion about reality all came and I got really shaken. I got really disoriented about reality and existence and who was I. There are times where I feel more balanced and have a sense that this is part of a process but most of the times I feel trapped in all this. I was in the spiritual path for 10 years before the Aya ceremony and did feel pretty balanced over all (of course with some triggers here and there). So, I am not sure if I had some sort of opening that triggered all this confusion and pain to come up.
    Not sure if following the nondual path would be the best thing for me at the moment. There are times where I listen to non duality videos now and I do get this intense fear and disorientation about my existence and need to stop. The process does not seem smooth at all because of where I am right now. It might be that my ego really feels threatened and does not want to let go.
    Anyway any tips on this would be great. Not sure if I tapped into some sort of spiritual emergency or dark night. So, any guidance on this would be great.
    Thanks so much for helping people out.

    • @SimplyAlwaysAwake

      Emotion work, circling with a good group, Read The Deepest Acceptance by Jeff Foster, Watch the Documentary "The Work." A lot of people swear by Scott Kiloby but he charges. These are all things to consider. Or just do pure self inquiry, push through the fear barrier don't back of and be done with it . However if that doesn't feel like the proper path at the moment then these other modalities can soften the conditioning. Also daily meditation in the form of mantra or natural meditation where it is not about pushing or focusing, but rather allowing. This can be very helpful

    @humanbeing4995 2 роки тому +1

    Yes and no. It is a matter of perspective and relativity, I guess. Things do initiate a person to feel. It may be useful to keep in mind that stars and galaxies have given their existence just to make our reality possible. Life is like this too, what is good today is borne of the suffering of yesterday. Day and night, good and evil, doing and not doing are the very weavings that support the wall of reality. One simply cannot exist without the other. It's ok to feel if one realizes that feeling is simply one tree in the forest. That forest grows, shares, coexists, dies and sprouts anew. Be mindful as you climb through the boughs in the forest of life.
