So beautiful: we say to ourself, “I am the awakened one-why do I _feel_ unawakened?” *Not saying* “I am unawakened.” and identifying with the thought, with the ‘searching’ feeling
Talking never does it, people get a hit, a glow, feel they have understood something profound but sadly it has no shelflife...so on it (the seekers treadmill) goes, onto the next new kid on the block, the new podcaster, which is great as there are a pandemic of so called awakened guides to remove the veil and entertain you...like motivational speakers. Just a mere suggestion; for those who are genuinely earnest put one's toys aside, simple sit and start to spend time in silence be attentive, watch your own personal movie... don't react or change anything..no need for podcasts, leave that for those who need pep talks and entertainment....silence is the doorway,.... to the beginning and the end.. at least it faces you in the right direction ......
I don't come here seeking anything or needing anything. I come here because I like Sam and think he is a good "pointer." It's also nice to hang out with people who have a similar frequency, as it can be challenging to find like-minded souls in one's day-to-day life. 🥰
Here's what I did. So many years ago I had an idea. Imagine there's a God always reaching out and I was the one that cut off, unconsciously. My racing mind cut me off. Since then I've said one version or another of I surrender to God, and also asked, "Who am I?" surely a million or more times. I did it to attempt to reprogram my own mind, if possible, to consciously reconnect to God. It's been years now and either I have brainwashed myself into believing something that's not true or I actually am connecting to God. The way this seems to be happening is God just takes all of my emotional and mental trash and guides me through it on some very deep level. And he shows me the world is not really real and neither is the me I thought I was. This has worked for me. Or I'm going crazy. It does dispel suffering as well. And the strange thing is I catch "my mind" now actively surrendering stuff to God on a sort of auto pilot mode without my consciously initiating it. And there is a growing sense of continual release and connection to God/source, whatever we want to call it.
This resonates! I'm 68 and have often noticed that when a question arises for which no answer ever appears, there's something wrong with the question itself. Maybe "wrong" isn't the best word...I mean that the question doesn't make sense or require any answer. Cheers from Germany 🍂
Samm thank you, this is a nice message. I get pulled into thinking about the answer, though... Anyway, recently I have found myself able to become aware of thoughts, and thus aware of awareness. However, this causes thoughts to cease, and then attention is drawn to sounds, for example. But this leads nowhere, it seems. Sounds are another illusion, like thoughts, amirite? What would you suggest?

"They're already dissolving..." really resonated.

Perfect Sam. Thank you! 🙏
This video truly commanded my attention. You described, beautifully, a "non" process to resolve the persistent WANTING energy of seeking.
The self liberating nature of all phenomena. Thank you Sam, your words are always so clear 🙏

I would be curious what your clips would look like w/out the edits.
Thank you!❤
