[22:43] Important semantics! Love it. "Deconstruction" has a kind of nihilistic or psychotic vibe, like something is to be damaged or decomposed, and then operates in some weird way. Similar to "killing ego" taken too literally. This "seeing into deep levels" feels more like "transcending" (seeing through, "crossing to the other side", Eng. trans-, Skt. pāra).
Just want to recommend this specific recording again. It keeps on delivering. It's helped me before and today yet another step. A big one in seeing nondual more continually and not only as a understanding. I think I've listened to this recording about 6-7 times and there have been new layers to it all the time. With effects from small sparks to a more clear nondual experience. I appreciate the comments during the talk that was not intended as a Q&A but just showed up anyway. It makes it comprehensive and layered. Yes, thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I'm so eager to let doubt hope faith fall and just BE. I feel so close but I come to the edge and feel like I'm free falling into nothingness. I just gotta let go sooner or later
Thank you so much for these videos. I did reach awakening but I had an incredibly hard time not understanding how to live with such a baffling and strange thing. I realised even though I saw through the illusion, I still had anger. These personal issues are what held me back. My teacher did say to me to watch my thoughts, but this was more activity of the mind and didn't work for me. Your particular way of speaking about this gave me the confidence to sit and to stop trying to force my awareness. I realised how angry I was and how funny it is how angry I was. Now at least I am free from anger and people are so much more comfortable around me. This is an incredible gift you have given to me and I am really appreciative and grateful. Thank you. My next step is all the thoughts and at times overwhelming sadness and pity I feel for others, which may be a result of awakening but may also be a personal problem.
I haven’t found any balance like you kinda referred to here. I’ve developed a powerful mediation ability so that’s mostly all I wanna do is meditate because I know I can find peace. I honestly prefer the state of mediation to anything besides sleep because it’s peace & refuge but I can’t always run back here. I’ve started the fetters video and Gary Weber’s instructions have helped me tremendously. Anyway just started this video and I thank you so much for all your content so far.
You point alot to feeling into your body. After doing this I was in the center of my chest with a very heavy feeling. I've been going back and forth with thoughts about it and feeling into it and seeing how many different thoughts get filtered through the feeling and made me feel worse. Suddenly while I was watching this video I realized I am stuck in that feeling over and over again just like a thought playing through the mind over and over again Obsessively. Suddenly it became apparent it was the same thing that thoughts do. I was then able to take my very amost unknown awareness away from the chest. What a relief of this underlying pressure that I did not even fully realize. When ever I did body awareness that area always drew me in and I always felt that there was something there that I had to experience but it became Obsessive in nature that went ever I tried to take awareness to a different area it just pulled me back. That emotion in the body acts the same as thoughts would that are Obsessively on the mind. With this realization I was like WOW really that's all that was. Why was I spending so much time with it.
It's like the sense of not being enlightened comes from an activity trying to be seen by something separate in order to believe it's been seen and feel included. Noticing that contraction and it's accompanying perspective give it what it is holding itself hostage in order to receive
I was making progress lately, till I stumbled across all these ideas of practice. It seems to encourage the idea that there is indeed an I who has to surrender or "see that this is a thought" or understand something. It seems like the very motivation to orient yourself to a practice, is the struggle that relaxes when there is no concern. Who cares about thought? It's the presumption of a problem (the goal) that keeps the mind on the hook to do this or fix that.
Then don’t do anything. If it is deeply satisfying so be it. If shadow material starts coming to the surface r there’s obvious suffering ongoing, disassociation or anything if the sort, you may want to consider some specific approaches.
I'm enjoying your voice lol. You're up there now with Alan watts, rupert Spira. It's a very weird mechanism.... to have conversations with other people in your own mind. The mind seems to co-opt a personality with its reinforcement aspect and these imaginary conversations. Almost like it hides behind my conception of you as a person. I guess the way it hides behind me? I've been noticing this strong "reassembly" aspect of the mind. I've had an insight about reality not long ago.... that whatever this is can subdivide itself into an infinite amounts of parts or aspects without any fear of "losing itself". It has extreme confidence in itself... it felt as if this creation is intentionally done to see if there's any limits to the separation mechanism. Anyway, I feel like the mind tries to mimic this attribute with its ability to "reassemble". But the mind does it poorly. It feels like the mind is just a cheap imitation of "what is".
Ordinarily it would be a mistake and inauthentic to contradict one's direct experience (at 26:30) that asserts one's limited identity but if there is the word of the Guru saying "You are not limited but infinite consciousness", which you trust as much you trust the ground you walk on to hold you up then you have something greater than the power of the mind that pulls you in and limits your identity.
Sometimes before I sleep, I feel this spaciousness within myself..sort of like a universe or an abyss. There is something scary about exploring the space😁
Hi Angelo, around 40.00 you talk about a thought “I’m confused….don’t know if it’s this or that.” Here there was immediately some visceral sensations felt in reaction to those words. But no confusion about anything. So I stopped the video for a while to unwind the sensations that seemed to arise from those thoughts that I had heard and reacted to. This seems to happen quite often. Certain words are a trigger.
Thankyou. It is such a beautiful space. As you point out, the mind tells me I’m leaving my critically ill child. It seems very subtle from bypassing the anxiety? 49:32
Thank you Angelo, very helping. Could you precise the difference between equanimity, that i understand as neutrality, and what we call "indifference". Gratitude for everyting you bring .
Thanks for this. It always seems easier when guided by someone. One thing I'm a bit confused about. Adyashanti talks about ( and I think you've said this too) that you need to go within first and then you can " go " outward". Is working with attunements such as; what am I, who am I, where am I " going inward" and working with the sense gates " such as hearing seeing tasting etc going outward" or are these indistinct and its all going inward in the same way . What does it mean to "go outward" and does it really matter anyway or is it when this is known it will be understood?
Are non-conceptual thoughts another word for sensations? I ask this because you said the feeling that we are located behind the eyes is merely just a thought. In my experience, this feels more like a sensation than a thought. Thanks
Aya Angelo, so blessed to have synchronised with your videos. Are you still doing sessions? I feel a yearning for some direct pointings/guidance. Much love ❤️
I'm not sure I get the difference between this and natural meditation. Could you say this is more like "awareness of awareness" practice and natural meditation is more like "do nothing" practice? Because I feel those eventually merge into another. But here I sense you make a clear distinction.
There are other senses to meditate upon as well. the sense of balance is another fundamental field. the liquid mass of your limbs can feel the gravitational field vector or momentum. the inner ear tells you if your falling or leaning. how do you know you are upright? fun! explore it.
Indeed, proprioception and vestibular se se are both subtle but very important senses. The sense of gravity acting on the first is direct sensory however. You can feel it shifting tissue, for instance when you slowly rotate your hand palm up to palm down you can feel the shifting of the tissue, the pull of gravity ❤️
Can I ask you why the radical non duality speakers are saying that this has nothing to do with awareness or consciousness?? That anyone speaking this way is dreaming their awake?? That those are just words?? That consciousness is a knowing?? And this is about unknowing. It’s so confusing. Also, that nothing is known… and there is no free will so they say who would meditate or wake up? It just simply happens or not.

Angelo, your understanding, articulation & dedication to this blows my mind.
What can I say but
THANK YOU
❤❤❤
Doubt is the last to fall.
Hope falls late as well.
I'm so eager to let doubt hope faith fall and just BE. I feel so close but I come to the edge and feel like I'm free falling into nothingness. I just gotta let go sooner or later
Before awakening
Something about the way you deliver this seems to hit all the right spots. Thank you Angelo
😊
Literally feel like you’re looking directly into my eyes during these live talks. Really powerful transmission
It scares the beejabbers out of me and I am addicted at the same path!

You are catching everything that can possibly pass by in consciousness, thank you!

such a helpful talk, clarifying and 'resting in senses, sensing' at the beginning, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Angelo. This was just great.
Thank you Angelo ❤❤❤
This pushed me over the edge. Thank you Angelo for this video! All dissolved into oneness. All is one.
Thankyou Angelo ❤️
Listening from an observation deck in Japan... All I can say is wow
Your last pointer about needing to find the answer to who... That's a juicy one
It's like the sense of not being enlightened comes from an activity trying to be seen by something separate in order to believe it's been seen and feel included. Noticing that contraction and it's accompanying perspective give it what it is holding itself hostage in order to receive
awesome video, thank you :)

Why tf does the mind hate being in the present moment so much 😂 jeez
😂😂
Because mind is movement. Awareness or Presence forces the mind to slow down. In complete stillness the mind goes offline…
@@gerrym-cat7119 hmm so I gotta find the still point. Thank you 🙏 ☺️
@@VeritableVagabond no need to find it. It’s always available. You are It.
@@gerrym-cat7119 where?
I'm having silent explosions through out this one .. thank you so much
here is gratitude 🙏❤️
Sometimes before I sleep, I feel this spaciousness within myself..sort of like a universe or an abyss. There is something scary about exploring the space😁
Sometimes I feel like a character in a video game.

Thank you as always. But that ding at the end is deafening - headphone wearers beware! could you moderate the volume of that Angelo please?
This video is so helpful! Thank-you again Angelo ❤️🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Angelo, very helping. Could you precise the difference between equanimity, that i understand as neutrality, and what we call "indifference". Gratitude for everyting you bring .
I feel well cooked, well liberated after about 60 years at this....but cannot locate who is free anymore....seem to have let it go by degrees.
I am afraid of dying and not realize. Imagine starting all over again, what a pain in the a**. 😅

I think you have it right. This is why I organize into playlists. Awakening approaches really addresses that first movement.
Thanks, I'll check that out again
Could you direct me to a video of yours that teaches how to rest in unbound consciousness?
Check his consciousness playlist.
Are non-conceptual thoughts another word for sensations? I ask this because you said the feeling that we are located behind the eyes is merely just a thought. In my experience, this feels more like a sensation than a thought. Thanks
No they can be special, visual (image) or kinesthetic, or a combination. Now that complex is also frequently associated with a sensation as well.
Aya Angelo, so blessed to have synchronised with your videos. Are you still doing sessions? I feel a yearning for some direct pointings/guidance. Much love ❤️
Not correctly but if you want a facilitator I trust you can email me on my website
Much appreciated dude, I just sent one over
Is there an accompanying q/a-video after this video?
🙏🙏🙏
I’m afraid of the light of clear seeing. It feel like death. Not just the death of I but death as an ending even though I know it’s a new beginning
🙏
I'm not sure I get the difference between this and natural meditation.

Because I feel those eventually merge into another. But here I sense you make a clear distinction.
I know what is what, but I don't know what is what, I just strut, WTF (+FTW)🎉😊...😮-_-___22:53
