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. Seek help wherever necessary which might include a hospital emergency department, a suicide helpline etc.
Babe, wake up new a Angelo video is out.
😂
Brilliant Angelo.
It's more an attitude change at this point. You helped me "get out of my own way," though it wasn't doing anything so "Get" doesn't really work there. Verbs are very weird lately. Can't have a sentence without them. It's more like letting or allowing instead of thinking-doing right now. And, in meditation particularly, and also in motion - walking, driving - everything I see is me - the same me - no two me's. Other people are VERY interesting - so wise and deep - could be talking about anything and I'm just enraptured - doing the laundry or what their cat did, or - it doesn't matter. All I "did" was relax, really, just loosen up - stop listening to Nonduality videos obsessively - stop trying to get somewhere - taking walks. A little dreamlike but not dysphorically. And evenings I feel heavier again, but it's fine. Thank you for taking the time to help me see I already am what I'm looking for.
Yes, we are not who we think we are. The "I am” of the mind seeks. Looking for a path, for understanding, for more happiness.
"We will go into deeply uncomfortable pattern because it's familiar" - although the video is about FOMO, this phrase is the root, the gist, the essence of all addictions. Especially harmful ones.
Great video! Another masterpiece!
Thank you ❤
I've heard it say you can't pull yourself up by your own bootstraps but you CAN make yourself more buoyant. It's the think that makes me believe that right effort may not deliver the final step but definitely makes it a much more available option.
Love it
Zen teacher Richard Rose famously said, “Enlightenment is an accident. Spiritual practice makes you accident-prone.”
@@hansenmarc tie your shoelaces together for best practice! 😁

I feel like the belief that awakening is an event that will make me whole, is the last thing I'm holding onto
ahhh... what would it mean to let go of that belief. also let go of the belief that that is the last one... See where that leads you.
Wow this video completely destroyed my ego I didn’t realize how wrong I was
My favourite video yet! Really inspiring. Everything I surrendered this time, I would go one step further. Then another step. Then another. Then I'd be somewhere unfamiliar, but strangely actually more comfortable than before. It was very odd, but I would let it be there. I haven't awakened, at least not yet, but I'll definitely be doing this practice again.
Man, the hokey cokey is a hard dance to do properly
Excellent reminder! Thanks. 😊
This is profoundly helpful 🙏 Thank you!
Really clear pointing. Love it

One way as suggested is to discount thoughts/beliefs.
Another way is to acknowledge how true the thought/belief feels to a supposed someone so that that someone doesn't feel dismissed, then notice thoughts/beliefs ALSO as mental images/ sounds/feelings in the body. The first could be said to be the relative view. The latter would be the absolute view. Neither is more right. The relative approach could be said to loosen the grip of the someone. The absolute approach is to see what else is just in a sense overlooked. From there, giving up the familiarity may be less effortful.
There are ways to nowhere else. Trust your senses. But first clarify your senses.
This is cool, if I look at this with a soft gaze, and my vision goes double you start to disappear! a bit like a magic eye but instead of there being a giraffe there is nothing lol how ironic - there really is nobody there haha! is that intentional or just me? lol
🙏🙏🙏
stirring video, thanks... Resignation..is that doubt? It feels hard, selfish, contracted. How to burst this bubble? Do I feel into resignation, try to find the one who is resigned?
FOMO rings a lot of bells, too, all feels like a hard little ball of sadness.... a blight on the heart..
Thanks, john
It is indeed a doubt, and it is a thought. Notice this in real time :)
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake thank you
I have a question, what if you have the ability to shut it on and off. To go into a complete sense of self awareness, becoming the thought, becoming outside of the thought, becoming the observer yet being the person being observed all at once. I can't explain it, but all I know is that I don't know. I see the words I'm typing & something in between disconnects & connects bc I make it connect again. As a child my brother once told me if you ask yourself who am I over and over something happens. I can't explain what happens but you'll know when it happens. I'm 5 and my brother is 12 at the time, I don't ever remember talking to him further about it but from that moment on I would repeat those words over and over & each time I did it I felt like I was getting closer & closer. To what? I had no idea, it was just a feeling of reaching something. It took my a few trys. Maybe a handful, but by the age of 6 it happened. It's like a lightbulb over generated & popped! I was fully aware of everything, sound, no sound, sense of touch & no sense, experiencing everything all at once and nothing all at the same time. I can't explain it, all I can say is that I could tolerate it for a few minutes & it would scare the soul out of my child body. I learned how to go back into that automatic mode. It's even hard for me to say this, but I'm just trying to figure out, why, what is the purpose of having the ability to have full awareness to the point of feeling scared & mentally breaking your brain at will only to return to the auto pilot- almost like overheating your brain. Is this normal? Anytime I try to explain this to my family or friend I'm looked at with a confused look & it's almost like I'm speaking another language that is unfamiliar to them. ** I guess what I'm asking is what does this mean. Why is this possible? What is the purpose of any of this.
I wouldn't worry about normal or comparing your experience to anyone else's. Though you can clarify it for sure. The little girl had to learn to form a self and function in the world for survival, but now you have the maturity to go back in and go deeper ;)
"I am kind of interested, I am kind of not, put one foot in and one foot out, do the hokey pokey and shake it all about" 😅 (at 9:38)

I can't understand what you are talking about. Your use of the word "leverage" for example. if you choose to use words, please make them clear. thank you!
0:31 Ramakrishna’s quote is often repeated: “Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond.” And yet, excessive seeking can also be the very thing that prevents you from seeing through the illusion(s). Don’t you just love the awakening process? 💔 ❤️🩹 ❤ I guess there is differing advice depending on the seeker’s stage and/or there’s a very fine line that must be walked?
Oops, almost forgot the obligatory question: who is doing the seeking?
Or maybe, "How do you know that seeking is going on at all?"
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Is there such a thing as neo-advaita PTSD? I feel triggered. I mean triggering is arising or happening to no-one. 🤣
@@hansenmarc you mean Post Tony Stress Disorder? 😂😂
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I wasn’t going to name names, but YES!!! I love the way they claim that time and distance don’t exist, and yet their websites say things like “appearing in Amsterdam next weekend”. 🤨 Apparently money is real enough, however, because tickets aren’t free. Funny how quickly and easily they can switch from an absolute to a relative viewpoint when they’re not in front of the camera. 🙄
I’m not usually this cynical these days. I blame a weekend of binge-watching Clare Cherikoff’s @nondualityfun videos on UA-cam.
