    Self Realization isn't an escape from life but a release of the attachments which bind one to a concept of life. Without an intent to honestly explore the fear, pain and narrative of one's accumulative sense of self all one does is continue the avoidance of what is. And what is never needed to be cloaked by reactivity. That reactivity was just an attempt to protect oneself. True intimacy with what one truly is is a process of unlearning and uncovering. Be patient and kind to yourself. Make friends with silence. It has been mistaken as the place where fear resides. It is not. It is where one can find clarity and peace. And yes there is no need for workarounds when you begin to trust the benevolence of that which has always been there.

    When I feel resistance I immediately want to “psychosnalize” what I am feeling and why I am feeling it. I have found that’s my way of escaping it and making myself really miserable. “If I can just figure it out…then I can fix it”. 😳 Letting myself just feel the feelings is actually so much easier but definitely not what I default to. It’s hard to catch myself but I’m getting better at it.

    So pertinent. I’m sick with a pretty miserable cold and have been lamenting that “ I don’t want to be sick”. So this was the perfect exercise to look at this whiny resistance. I’m here and I gotta go through this and yet the resistance makes it all the more miserable. I’m still sick but at least I’m a bit more accepting of the situation. Thanks Angelo.

    Thank you for this. I know it's all true intellectually but I struggle with it deeply. As a teacher and an artist, I feel resistance towards triggers from so many disparate angles such as classroom management and interactions with students, career disappointments, frustration with supervisors and curricula, etc. It's very hard to practice this from all facets at once.

    What happens when i feel resistance to doing things (almost anything) almost all the time? It's a constant struggle against life and activities. Been like this for a couple years, i thought it was just unmotivation and a desire (and habit) to spend time only doing stimulating activities (phone, games, music, etc.), But i feel it's deeper than this

    Thanks Angelo, very helpful and clear. Feel like I'm slowly being reduced to rubble, destroyed even; i feel totally seen, unmasked even... and in some way it's Ok, even though it's very very uncomfortable.....****
    I used to think almost the whole of my life, certainly from about the age of 2/ 3 years old, emotionally , I believed, "Life is/was against me" and about 3 moths ago ( I'm almost 70) I glimpsed that actually the opposite was, is, true; that its me who is against life, and this video shows, endorses for me how much I lived, and live out of that belief--( Life is against me) making that belief 'true'.. Somewhere or other Life knows truly, deeply , fundamentally, that Life isn't against me and this is a clear way of exploring that belief richly,

    I sooo thought this was going to be about resistance to COLD plunging! 😄A lot of this totally applies, though! That might be an advanced version of getting through resistance since most people have a strong aversion to the idea of cold immersion. An apt metaphor, at any rate. I never would have believed I'd enjoy it as a daily practice as much as I do. Kitaro Waga is a good teacher....

      @SimplyAlwaysAwake  Рік тому +5

      I wouldn’t worry too much about the definition but rather the “feel” of it. Also it may sound bad but before awakening we often have no idea how much resistance there actually is. For me it suddenly became obvious that most of what I considered to be feeling normal was actually a plot of resistance. When that discomfort dropped I was very surprised by how much was there. There was still a lot to work through later but a huge amount dropped.
