About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.
Disclaimer: The information presented in these videos is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychiatric or medical illness. The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment.

Theres a quote Adyashanti has here: "Eventually, everything stops working. Thats the spiritual path for everyone. Eventually, nothing works, I'm always surprised when I say that, that the whole room doesn't empty..."
That's exactly where I'm at (and have been for a while). Nothing works anymore. Not the practices, not the lifestyle changes, not the coping mechanisms, not the distractions. Nowhere to go. Hopelessness. Yet one still fights it tooth and nail😅
Fights what?!! This is my dilemma… hopelessness is always a background noise, and that’s perhaps the dilemma - still not able to hear beyond that…
Adyashanti doesn’t realize that’s the reason the room is full 😅

I WILL NO LONGER
HAVE MY VOICE SILENCED.
I WILL ROAR!!!
This was really really good! I definitely felt into what you said about doing emotion work especially after last night. Woke up during the night feeling like I was having a panic attack, cried, felt into it and noticed a huge release of emotions. I still was feeling it strongly for much of the morning this morning. Ultimately it was just an experience but definitely would have been extremely scary if I didn't know what was happening. I don't know why I am sharing this either. 🤣
Thank you for sharing! 😊
Love your work. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful. I made a breakthrough a few days ago by just stopping the seeking and videos and realized how sneaky the ego can be. Even now, I notice how it likes to claim that it can break free from ego😂
Feedback: This feels like by far the most generous and useful chunk of information I've ever been given in one go (-'Dirty seeker' on and off for 30 years).
Damn those sneaky buggers are kicking my ass,❤😂! Very helpful video Angelo. Thank you for your unwavering support 🤗
You just suddenly clarified so much for me. Thank you.
You are so welcome
Very clarifying video. Have personally been followinf frank yang, michael taft, adyashanti and a bunch of other teachers. Keep vascilatting between knowing and not knowing very often. Have dine a few retreats and ofc indulged in the spiritual buffet. Angelo your pointings and videos are so poignat and direct. Very few people actually talk about real no-self and deep stage realization and its so helpful ❤ Still the scariest part of realisation to me is going it alone and leaving behind the videos and books to confront what's really happening in my experience and life. Ownership of experience and this path, paradoxically reveals non-doership somehow. Gonna have to do some more practice personally before jumping into the no-self series but time, space and doership have already almost cleared out on their own 🤷♂️🙂❤❤❤❤
This is such a good primer for so much of the guidance you give, Angelo! You might consider embedding it on your main profile page so that when people go to your channel, it starts up immediately. At least it might have a better chance of getting seen by someone brand new to your channel that just happens across it based on the algorithm serving one of your videos to them, as you mentioned.
Thanks! I reflecting on the videos and exploring, experience becomes much more immediate, though I notice that if I "grab" on to a thought its like I'm back into "time".
This is so helpful! ❤
When I first heard you talk to ZDogg it was hard to wrap my head around some of the non duality conversations, both of you have become extremely clear on talking about this and I get it now🤗
Yes this is very helpful Angelo. Thank you ♥️🙏🏻😊
This was so helpful. Clarified so much for me. Very grateful I found your channel, it’s been such a catalyst for my journey at this stage.
Thank you!
Angelo, thank you, that was so thorough x
Great pointers🙏
Wonderful subject matter, clear, helpful. Thank you!
This is great! Clear and practical
You are totally helpful!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much Angelo, for this extra chunk of clarity. Your integrity and clarity is what keeps me coming back to your videos. Your book might be more detailed, but your videos invite with experiential pointing in a direct way, (for me) a bigger help with letting the cognitive babbling just be cognitive babbling somewhere in a background. Here the silence is expanding and expanding more and more these days. I know the last online retreat just happened in December. Would love to meet others. I'm in Europe. Any plans for a next one?
Brilliant content - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was very very helpful. Thank you Angelo.
You're very welcome
So funny how what you need to hear comes thru when you need to hear it.
🎯♥😶 🙏☮ wishing love, grace, courage and understanding for all. Thank you
🙏🙏🙏
❤
Super helpful but perhaps deeper dives into each of those categories would also be useful. I'm wondering if the last category corresponds to certain fetters? Maybe 4&5?
Srs great video though 🙏😀
I can totally relate to people avoiding retreat and teachers. For years I had avoided retreats and after a self retreat I had last month I understood why. I had to face a lot of fear. I am very grateful to have done that, since then I became much more present during daily life and a lot of pattern started to emerge, quite powerful experience.
I would also be curious to work one to one with a teacher, Angelo do you have some suggestions? :)
Thanks Angelo for all your helpful content 🙏 I used to have headaches when I started watching your videos but now I only have them when I read about deeper stages of realization in your book. I think that's a good sign.
Is it normal that I want to continue doing the de-identification from thoughts while I'm sleeping? And I wake up from dreaming frustrated because I'm having the same old fantasies that are making it hard for me to let go. I know it's resistance but it's very difficult to give it awareness when I'm half asleep 😅
I love you, I just don’t know why 😂❤
See you in a week😁
Please tell me where to start because this character avatar apparent body is feeling lost. Non duality ( term) found me. When I was 6-7 I had an awakening or seeing. I had no idea 🤷🏼♀️ what was happening to me as a little girl. It was like the headless way experience is the best I can describe this. I had no idea of that back then. I wanted to jump out of my skin. My ears were humming I was afraid I didn’t have a face not really. And that everyone I was apparently seeing was me??? I would look at my little hands my little legs and feet and say where is my head??? Who’s looking out of these eyes??? This has happened so much again lately and also that I’m not moving? I have never been on a spiritual path never followed any type of religions. I’ve never read the Bible. I’ve never gone to retreats. Two years ago I came across the greatest secret book by Rhonda Byrnes. And while I was reading it, it hit me that a lot of what she was speaking about is exactly what was experienced as a child. I’ve never done shadow work. I’ve never done meditation. There’s this strong colossal feeling that it’s coming for me, it will not allow me to focus on much of anything else, when I’m driving my car there’s a feeling I’m not going anywhere it’s affected past relationships. also, there’s a strong feeling that when I’m apparently conversing with an apparent other that that apparent other is me? Some type of projection? Can you please suggest something that the body can do?? I also resonate strongly with the course in miracles I just got the book and also Paul Hedderman and can you please tell me how to reach out to Violet? I think you mentioned her to me.❤
Love this video, thank u. A question, I see a lot of reactions here, would u recommend equanimity work before the first shift? Thank u ❤
Hey Angelo I saw this yesterday, great video. I did however have something to mention, in my own experience, and the teacher/path that I went with, investigating is necessary until there is no longer separation. So it was interested to hear your take on how after you have the initial shift, that there isn't much need to inquire any longer. But if there comes a thought that is based upon the belief to be separate, shouldn't it be investigated in that moment? Curious what you have to say on that, but I did find that the SECOND I decided to take responsibility for my own experience, that was what led me to the whole truth. Thanks for the video :)
Well not that inquiry isn’t necessary or helpful but rather did inquiry often it. But everyone has a different experience, for some, self inquiry is still helpful.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Yes. in the end all the paths converge anyway, always interesting to hear how it's different for everyone, definitely not a linear experience.
Do u agree with the statement that, trauma makes one escape from their emotions and disassociate, making it more difficult for them to wake up
Wow. That’s pretty good. I felt that. Thanks. I personally wholeheartedly agree. Wow
In my experience the "trauma" was akin to a "weighted backpack" for the spiritual seeker. Strengthening and was the catalyst and motivator for awakening.
@@Ryan-Dempsey suffering has been the motivation for me every time.
First, I had to wear out all the worldly things, alcohol, drugs, materialism, consumerism, etc. Even spiritual greed and spiritual materialism was a thing.
I’d agree tho, at least for me, that trauma caused significant disassociation from my feelings which I still struggle with today. I frequently don’t even know what my feelings are even are.
I can’t identify the different emotions and feelings that I even have let alone try to feel them. I’m sober 10 years using 12 step to stay sober after 35 years of chronic alcoholism and drug addiction. So I have a pretty long history of suppressing emotions, as well as a long history of traumatizing events.
I don’t know. It is what it is.
Nothing can prevent awakening. Suffering is the match that lights the fuse of awakening. So trauma often leads to awakening.
It can intensify the emotions for sure. But if they're not addressed through awareness, they'll be repressed/projected, maybe akin to something like a dissociation from certain aspects of self. And if the trauma is too large for the core self structure to process, then total dissociation or fragmentation or derealization can occur. It can also just prompt a spontaneous awakening. Building acceptance and tolerance of intense, extreme emotional pain can create space for "healing". Maybe I'm wrong though but I've gone through many levels of trauma.
I heard that he suggests we do some of this work sober… so we don’t trip out and get caught up in that reality…
Also I’ve had 3 exes reach out in the past month???? Like wtf? Why? And also trying not to react to the game. Is it myself doing this to myself??? Idk how to word it 😔
Rama rama hare hare....hare krishna hare krishna. Angelo, I'm not sure what group I fall into, can you advise? Praise Jesus, atman is brahman 🙃
You are not in any group. Oh, you mean, what group is your mind in? 😊
It was just a joke 😋
Wait, no pscychedelics. That’s a broad statement right?
I might have a bit of fixation. That I feel it’s hard to access emotions that is stuck/get through resistance.
I fear pchycedelics, it’s very much in a uncomfortable, unpredictable space, and there’s always a lot of fears coming up to go through.
Emotion after emotions.
Any comments/guidance on that?
/Robin
I heard that he suggests we do some of this work sober… so we don’t trip out and make it about the medicine Journey… I wouldn’t be as open as I am without it, and I know I’m resistant to another Journey right now because I feel like it’s Time to take away the filter…
Ive been watching your videos for a while now. I do indeed feel like there is something interesting here and was very interested from the moment I heard u about non duality. U said u read comments, maybe its time I write one:
The thing that never made sense to me is when u, or other non duality teachers, say: "You dont need to do anything, you are already enlightened". Im like "bro, if I was I, wouldnt be consuming all these video content and seekig elightenment and suffering every day". What do u mean im already enlightened and dont need to do anything???
Also, another conundrum is when u say "One must not seek enlightenment as a solution for his problems", yet at the same time, u and many people u interviewed, even the buddha say that "enlightenment" is the solution to suffering. How can I know this has the answer to all the suffering "which is very similar to the suffering u experienced before your awakening", and how good it is to be present, especially as being some who suffers from complex ptsd and always disassociated. How can I hear all that and not seek it. Not see it as the holy grail answer to suffering. Why else would anyone seek this?
Sorry if its a long comment and thanks alot, I appreciate and watch all your videos ❤
Everything you are looking for is already here and it is just this. Seeking is enlightenment. It is a paradox that can not be comprehended. Much love and safe travels
Imma watch the playlist on emotion and shadow work. I think u are are probably right tho, I AM indeed wanna look anywhere but in my emotions.
@@mat.se57 Thanks for the answer. But your comment is exactly what im talking about. What do u mean what im looking for is already here? Here where?
U mean Im already enlightened and dont need to look anywhere? then why am I always anxious and cant even sit stil to meditate.?
One could say there is no enlightenment. Don’t hope for something to happen in the future. All the struggle is only in the mind (which is just thought). Watch Angelo’s videos, he’s a great guy and very talented at pointing to it. There is no other advice I can give but just keep at it. 🤞
I totally resonate with what you're saying!! From what I gathered no matter what's happening you're always here and it's always right now that is. An inescapable truth... We think a thought feel a feeling and then don't think and change feelings and it all happens simultaneously right now right here. So we can't hold on to anything totally impermanent The only permanent thing is here and now. From what I gathered from everyone because I've done the same thing for years and have the same issue I think it has something to do with not thinking and learning to be completely still even mentally because we never are we're always moving and every thought has its opposite the up and down of life. Background programs like on a computer would be our thoughts we're unaware of or emotions same thing that run the show recognizing them releases them and the more that's done the more present you are and then you realize you could never not be present you are presence.
Poetic nonsense haha isn’t poesy all nonsense until the moment when it is not? …
Stop the non duality videos…😱….😂
I can't I'm addicted... ahhhhhh
Why say this?
@@silverhandle ….listen to the video see if it applies to you🙂
Some addictions serve…
@@kathiescott9649 ….still watching videos 🙄…🙃
