    dude I watched this last night and your pointers at the end were hitting me very directly.
    Then I went and watched the full papaji video and really allowed the depth of the moment (but then) felt some resistance and anxiety that seemed to snag me up.
    However, I felt very light and clear after this and went to sleep a few hrs later. Woke up this morning having dreamt throughout the night of self inquiry lol. I woke up with these words in my head-
    “how can I look at my own face?” 😂
    And then today was really challenging at work. I’m a massage therapist and I’m typically so grateful for hrs on hrs to meditate, do self inquiry, and speak deeply with people, but today there was a lot of suffering. I just kept thinking and thinking about thinking and thinking about simply observing the thoughts, but just getting yanked around by them.
    I kept asking myself “who am I”, “who is grabbing at these thoughts” and I was only coming up with very surface level answers that were based in the concept of physicality. I also could not conjure up an idea of what my ego even is.
    I wrestled like this for 8 hrs and then my last client came in with a bunch of limitations and it really irked me for some reason.
    3/4 of the way through the massage it hit me that I was irritated because her limitations impeded with my usual technique. I asked myself “what if I just let go of that and allowed fluidity”
    It was like that thought unlocked something and there’s been this steady unrolling of evidence that my ego manifests as this need for control, and that need for control has knit its way into every aspect of my life that is contracted. Things that I didn’t even realize were contracted have become very clear.
    I could not see this common thread before, but something happened last night (expansion?) and it triggered contraction today, but it was like the contraction was a pointer from the universe and my willingness to look at it allowed it to unpack.
    You’ve been really helping me lately. I appreciate it so much. I’ve been meandering with this for a long time without a teacher but a line of synchronicities led me to your channel a couple months ago and I’ve just been doing my best to get out of the way. Thank You 🙏🏽
    (Apologies for the essay, but you played a significant role in the story)

    Searching deeply within, there has always been a huge fear of letting go, I have never been able to go down a slide, terrified of the idea of going down a water slide, or ski ing, any experience of slipping or speed where I have no control.. so I meditated and imagined and visualised myself going down a huge water slide and splashing into the water, and it connected to the idea or emotion that I cannot fully allow myself to be completely happy or joyful or that I deserve it, or that if I am really happy something bad will happen.. even though I am often fairly happy free and blissful, but there is obviously as resistance there. Like it is dangerous or a bad or a sin to be totally happy and carefree and not vigilant… my father suppressed us and hated it if we laughed or were happy as children, he was terrified, he has been totally miserable and depressed all his life.. all very interesting… to be explored… I wonder what it would be like to totally injoy life, zero fear… felt like that a bit on seroxat anti depression tablets.. thank you for all your help.

    It takes a lot of of shadow work, then acceptance of your self and discovering self love. Its the beginning of ego death. If you lean into it, in time the veil will fall away and boom, Enlightenment. Just remember you are already Enlightened, nothing to seek. You “forget” your way to it.

    Like somebody remarked in the comments of the linked Papaji video, I find it more interesting, and perhaps more telling, to watch Papaji's expression after the adoring woman left the scene and the camera zoomed in on his face. He became serious and solemn, even depressed-looking. Would love to hear your comments on that Angelo. The way I read it is "reality is depressing because there is no one 'there' (more accurately there is not 'there') but 'me'", at the same time recognizing the seeming absurdity of asking for a comment on such a solipsistic statement. It's probably doubt who is writing this comment 🙃

    I love how he leads her straight to the threshold and boom off she flies... Where are you? Here!
    Stay, don't move... This is enlightenment. Giggles. "It looks nice, I think"? 😂 The great journey...how many miles to go inside. What's the distance? How do you want to travel "inside"? Do you want to take a train or go by sea or by road...? Lmfao 🤣🤣😭😜 What distance is there to go inside, shall we take the car? The laughter of shock followed by relief and huge emotional release ✨ True freedom, equanimity...
    She was so ready to see truth, and truth was so ready to be seen. Papaji was a gentle shepherd allowing her to go. Kinda like you Angelo - all that matters is setting people free 🙏✨

    I’ve watched the Papaji video several times. I wish it would hit me like that. I know it cannot be found in thoughts, but even when there seems to be no thoughts or very few thoughts, there is no shift or release of any kind. I’m guessing my expectations are getting in the way, but it’s hard for me not to expect anything to happen. Then my mind just goes back to its usual habits and I feel like I’m getting nowhere.

    I began meditating in ‘14-15 because I was dealing with a tyrannical manager where I worked at the time. I really got into it. It helped me navigate people quite a lot better. Things were much more still with meditation. For whatever reason, I kind of walked away from it for a few years even though it was still in the back of my mind.
    Skip ahead to August ‘22. My 28 yr old son walked in front of a train and was killed.
    I spent the months after his death in sheer misery. I picked up meditation again. I had my first realization in January ‘23 and almost every day I see more and more. I know who I am now without a shadow of doubt. I can also see why certain things happened to me throughout my life. It makes sense now. I also have complete peace with my son’s death as well as my own. Total acceptance.

    Hello, recently discovered your channel. Great videos.Thank you. 🙏 just have a question : Since conciousness is one indivisible field, how can one say "I am conciousness"? What says "I am" in this case?Would not this fragment the unity of conciousness? Thanks

    • @SimplyAlwaysAwake
      @SimplyAlwaysAwake  2 роки тому +3

      Consciousness cannot be fragmented though it can appear to be so. Interestingly as it’s apparently being fragmented it rarely appears so to the sufferer. It’s not until after some transformation in identity that it becomes clear how strongly that was actually affecting one’s experience. Beyond that the hows and whys of language depend wholly on what the context is. Using personal pronouns has nothing to do with no-self realization. It’s a conventional way of speaking with practical meaning. Even after enlightenment a thought containing “I” or some form of it can still occur. It’s just that there is no self structure for whom it is occurring.
