The truth is that all seeking is based on a case of mistaken identity- you were never the character; the human avatar. The character can never awaken or become whole because the human experience is a game of separation (hide and seek). At a certain point in the game it is possible to awaken from the false character to recognize the primordial stillness/awareness that is ever- present. YOU were never in prison- it is only your fixation on thoughts and changing phenomena that has created maya, the illusion of the separate/false self. With a surrender of interest in the entire world of changing forms, and a willingness to move beyond your comfort zone (give up craving and aversion) it is possible to create the conditions for Samadhi to arise. - Фільми й анімація

I always believed that "redemption" or "saving our souls" was about a collective yet individual act. Society, Humanity will save itself when each of us individually saves himself.

Thank u Daniel, love from New Zealand
The resolution of worldly conflict is a personal, individual, spiritual process of the conscious embodiment of your soul. If you want all war to end, learn to resolve your own inner conflict. Go within
Awaken

May you rise with the dawn, in the light's sweet embrace,
Embrace every challenge, with unwavering grace.
With each step you take, on this journey you chase,
May your dreams be your guide, your heart set the pace.
In the face of adversity, let your spirit be strong,
As you paint your path brightly, with courage along.
With determination as your anchor, you'll belong,
To the realm of achievers, where dreams throng.
So here's my wish, wrapped in a poetic display,
May your aspirations lead you on this fine day.
In the pursuit of your goals, come what may,
May success be your companion, in every way. 🌟
This video comes at the perfect time. Thanks, Dan for all your great work.
This is for me without any doubt your best video! Your sharp clearness and easy way to explain difficult concepts is astounding! Thank you very much
Many blessings to you and everything you create. This is exactly what I was thinking of looking for. Thank you for sharing so clearly and mindfully.
Most clear and succinct teaching is being transmitted. Thank you Dan 😊
Thank you" Dan" , for guiding me in the right direction. And yes I know I am still falling prey to the ego mind continuosly but your words help me to reconi ze it.
Namaste!❤
If there was such a thing as perfection. You have hit the nail on the head, Excellent format, Stalla presentation...
Sending your love blessings and respect
♥️🙏☀️x
Thank you
Thank you Dan! 🙏💖
I,m spanish and I can write in english but it's very difficult, almost impossible, for me to understand when someone is speaking in english. However I understand almost everything when you speak. That's for me the proof of truth, the sign that shows me that I am on the way to my spiritual goal. Thanks to you, to God and the universe, although everything's the same and I might only say "thank you".
The same here ...sending love from Poland❤❤❤
Love love love your videos
Where are others who get all this already? Each of us already living our own version of the reality Daniel is verbally defining. I never meet anyone like this, just me.
Thank you Daniel
Blessings 💛🙏🤟🏼👴🏼🥞✨️
We need each other but everyone is so afraid of "organizing". Gotta find the balance.
What he is describing, happened to me on febreuary 2023. I was meditating with music and sleepy. My Kundalini awakened or something happened i My body start dancing/flowing to the rythm. Then that dancing was not only to music but yo anything i Focus My attention to.
Thank you 💞
Daniel, your clear view is much appreciated on this other end. Let's all be hopeful that this message reaches most of the present humanity. Blessings 🙏🙌✨
Muchas Gracias Dan. Por ayudarnos compartiendo tu proceso de sabiduría.
"The truth is that we're all one consciousness". The last and best line in this film.
Maybe because it seems to be the "ultimate truth", which however is a duality in and of itself.
THANK YOU!!!❤
Trauma (emotional damage from either prolonged abuse/neglect or catastrophic single event that often happens in/during childhood but can happen as teenager or adult) will understandably cause a craving for safety and pushing away of anything that is perceived as dangerous or whatever makes one feel unsafe, unseen, unheard; not mistreated or neglected…. It makes perfect sense why people grasp or push away… these patterns don’t materialize out of thin air. It takes the time it takes to unwind from this. It’s not an overnight resolution.. it has taken me time to unwind the hell that happened to me. Many techniques have loosened the grip around the pain and I can see and understand how awakening is even remotely possible.. had I encountered this 10 years ago it would have made no sense to me, as I was still trying to unwind from deeply held beliefs and patterns designed to protect me (so I thought, they really were enslaving me but I couldn’t see it through all the pain) …. The patterns of grasping and blocking come for a reason.. often from horrific childhood pain.. children have no capacity to manage the overwhelm of neglect and abuse. We then become adults who can’t manage it either……..until we can….for many it’s a long process.
I’m glad you’re working thru it, I’m glad you’re coming into your own being, free from the accumulation of experience/s . I am too, it’s been a many years process, in my fifties now it’s like being alive for the first time. Now I just need to get past a feeling of great sorrow having been trapped in trauma and unable to participate only watch my life go by up until now. Really learning how to live, the things I should’ve learned as a child. Peace and joy to you on your journey.
Awesome 💙
Can you do a video for after awakening? That would be very helpful! ❤🙏🧘♀️✨
Daniel I could listening to you forever! Thank you so much for sharing your insights! Love! 🩵💙🙏🥰
Thank you Dan. I'm so glad I met you at the August 2019 retreat.
Forever gratefulness 💙
Yes i suffer less. Thank you Daniel ❤
Thank you for this gift of giving pointers for something which has no words and cannot be described but is purely experiential. You have explained the best way possible when using language to describe something that cannot be grasped with the mind through conceptual thinking. THANK YOU 🙏🏼
I’ve heard that when “you” meditate, you’re reinforcing the idea of a “meditator”. Like Paul Hedderman stated, there’s a “verbing”, then an assumption of a “noun”, a you. Hard to grasp, but the only journey that must be taken to be free of ego ( edging God out) unconditional Love and alight to all that are on the path 🙇♀️💛
I believe you iv been on the same journey all disappears when you go into meditation ,the God within the I that I am 😊😊😊
Sehr informativ und inspirierend,Danke Daniel 🙏🙌❤️ Namasté
Gracias SWAMI. SOY Puertorriqueño.

Hi Respectable SWAMI SIR
U SAVED MY LIFE. THANK YOU SIIR
IT IS ALL TRUE.
Brilliant 💫
Beautiful ❤thank you sharing your wisdom
Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your words.
As an autistic woman, I am sensitive to voices.
Yours sounds tormented, my Dear Daniel
The person in you is allowed to investigate that😊
I grew up in an unsafe environment
I needed to feel the pain. I needed to cry my longs out after decade of denial.
The two need to become One.
❤
Interesting! I could listen to his voice forever!
Thank you Respectable SWAMI. 🇵🇷
I love Dan, such a beautiful soul
This was lovely, thank you so much.
You rock brother, thank you for being a steward of TRUTH.
😔
🙏
Good to see you keeping on Dan, hope to visit again soon.
Am I the only one who sees a predominant blue color around him @Daniel in most of his recordings. Initially I thought it's his Aura that is blue🫣 I guess it's the light effect..but it's so prominent. I am grateful for all the videos haven't missed watching even a single one 🙏 Thank you
So well explained, and so profound. Inspiring! Best Wishes 🙏
Very well said !
Thank you🙏🏻❤
Thank you 🙏💜
Thank you 🙏🏾
Yes❤❤❤ Love❤❤
This is all true, but the more awakened I become, the more I realize that it doesn't change anything on the physical realm. We often talk about how the world would be better if we all became awakened, but I don't think that's the case. We are karma, and the ego is who we are. The world should be nearly the same as it is now even if we all became awakened beings. The huge difference is that there would be no suffering in anyone though, but the outward world that is karma, the ego, would still be here. Until each and every single person is willing to sacrifice their lives for another, it won't change, and we as egoic beings shouldn't expect that that is a sacrifice we need to make.
Yes, the external world is like a great river moving in a certain direction and our human avatars are going for the ride. The external world remains the same in one sense- the river is as it is, flowing in a certain direction. But the experiences of those going down the river and the journey will change radically. Those characters won't be tearing each other apart out of fear along the way and suffering. From one perspective nothing changes, from another, everything changes.
Awakening the world means the world would finally SEE the sacred beauty that it is. Seeing the real sacredness in each other would release so much inward and outward unwarranted selfish competition and suffering.
A very thorough pointing, concisely spoken with words of wisdom
New every morning ❤
Beautiful ❤
Actually This is ‘prior’ to the world, mind, senses and experiences, not beyond. It is already here prior to them, not out there beyond them . This creates and illuminates the world, mind, senses and experience . This is an important distinction as ‘beyond’ often leads to seeking for what is always already shining as one’s true nature. Thank you for your great work and all of your films! 🙏❤️🙏
Nisargadatta and other sages said/say "Who you are is "prior to consciousness".
It might be experienced (with no experiencer) as being nothing, and then the nothing goes. It cannot adequately be put into words...
@@sathya999thank you this is illogical for the materialistic mind for the logical mind this makes more sense you have expanded my understanding thank you 💓🙏🏻
@@sathya999"it might be experienced but there is no experiencer it's emptiness but also everything at the same time shiva shakti....
@@sathya999yes I agree that we are prior to consciousness.we are consciousness itself,which is the true state.❤
I understand completely
Amazing interview! wow
Hola! Swami. Thank You.
Lets pray for peace and life
12:55 being who we are
18:00 - 19:31: true nature
33:23 all one consciousness
TLDR: Awakening through meditation and self-inquiry leads to freedom from the conditioned self and ego, allowing for enlightened action and a sense of unity and non-duality.
1. 00:00 🧘 Awakening is the solution to suffering and the world's problems, as it involves realizing one's true nature beyond the conditioned self and experiencing less suffering.
1.1 Awakening is the solution to the world's problems, as they stem from the delusion of being a limited character, and when individuals disidentify from their conditioned character, it brings about a transformation and freedom from suffering.
1.2 Awakening is about realizing your true nature, which is beyond the mind and senses, and the measure of its benefit is suffering less.
1.3 Before meditation, the speaker experienced a lot of suffering due to the conditioned self, but now suffers less and has a more expanded experience of life.
1.4 The speaker discusses the realization that the "I" that awakened from the meditation practice was not a person, and that all the learned meditation tricks and practices were of no use in the process of awakening.
2. 06:49 🧘 Awakening through meditation and self-inquiry leads to freedom from conditioned character and ego, allowing for enlightened action and a sense of unconditioned "I" and equanimity with what arises.
2.1 The speaker discusses the process of letting go of the conditioned character and the concept of enlightened action being free of preference and ego.
2.2 Awakening from the conditioned character through meditation and self-inquiry.
2.3 Awakened experience is not attached to phenomena, egoic preferences, or conditioned self, and is characterized by a sense of "I" that is unconditioned and unlimited, leading to a state of play and equanimity with what is arising.
3. 11:03 🧘 Meditation and self-inquiry lead to true meditation, where the mind settles and we let go of the false self to be unmediated by the conditioned mind.
3.1 Meditation techniques and practices are useful at the beginning but as we go deeper into meditation, there is less doing and more focus on the present moment.
3.2 Meditation and self-inquiry converge to lead to true meditation, where the mind settles down and we let go of the false self to be unmediated by the conditioned mind.
4. 14:52 🧘 Recognizing primordial awareness and allowing the false self to fall away leads to unity and non-duality, discovering the true self through self-inquiry and realizing primordial consciousness as ever-present and beyond words.
4.1 Recognizing the primordial awareness of beingness and allowing the false self to fall away leads to a sense of unity and non-duality.
4.2 Let go of everything and inquire within to discover the true self, which is always present.
4.3 Your true nature is primordial consciousness or awareness, which is ever present and remains constant through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.
4.4 Our true nature cannot be defined by words and can only be realized through a beginner's mind, as the limited mind tends to put it in a box.
5. 20:57 🧘 Let go of beliefs and continuous practices to awaken through self-inquiry and purifying conditioned patterns.
5.1 Believing in concepts like awareness or consciousness limits the mind, but spiritual practices can create conditions for awakening to happen.
5.2 Let go of continuous practices to release conditioned patterns and unconscious self-structure.
5.3 The direct path involves self-inquiry for the Awakening experience, while the long path focuses on purifying the conditioned patterns of the self-structure.
6. 25:17 🧘 Awakening is about discovering who you are, but staying awake requires purifying the mind through practices like meditation, yoga, and qigong to free energy from conditioning.
6.1 The importance of waking up is to find out who you are, but it's possible to fall back asleep if the whirlpool of the mind hasn't been dealt with, so purification is necessary to stay awake.
6.2 The process of purification involves making unconscious programming conscious through practices such as meditation, yoga, and qigong to free energy from the conditioned self.
7. 27:56 🧘 Meditation and self-inquiry lead to rewiring the conditioned mind, realizing true awareness, and reducing suffering and egoic activity.
7.1 The process of meditation and self-inquiry allows for the rewiring of the conditioned mind, leading to the purification of the self-structure and the realization of true awareness.
7.2 In the samadhi state, there is no separation between the self and the world, and if more people were awakened, there would be less suffering and egoic activity.
8. 32:10 🧘 Less corruption in the world is due to egoic activity in all dimensions of human life, and awakening to the truth that we are all one consciousness can help us overcome egoic tendencies.
You know how when an animal in Africa , say, learns to use a twig as a tool, that same kind of animal thousands of miles away on a different continent also begins using that technique? I feel like this should work in “awakening “ too , I feel like it should be spreading and that more people should be becoming self aware.
Thank you, I hope to attend one of your retreats some day (when I leave California and move east).
🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
I WILL SUBSCRIBE TOMORROW SWAMI

Very insightful and helpful.
I have a random question though.... What does the symbol on the gong behind Daniel mean?
OM sign
Hey, I also like the Zen phrase that life actions show an awakening. So why not talk about what changed in life by looking at challenges before and after the awakening. Is there more for you than less suffering?
🧚🏽♀️💫🌱🌱🌱💫

ascended master
This guys aura, I can’t explain it but something is “off”. He’s saying all the right things…
🤔
When truth is delivered it's hard to accept by many people.
I think he's just overdue for a nice steak.
A mind projection
On l'a en français ?
Great lessons 🙂 How do you purify the self structure? 🤔
Through meditation, inquiry (study of the ancient scriptures, i.e. Vasistha's Yoga, Bhagavad-Gita, Upanishads, etc.), and service to others. May God, Divine Consciousness (many names in many cultures - SAME ONENESS), bless you in your pursuit.
@@dannywebster7193 Thank you so much and bless you to infinity and beyond 🙂🙏❣
…mantra japa, singing the names….
offering all to the divine, all actions, blessings and thoughts…
