Click on latest Angelo vid because I want to feel better. Angelo says, The biggest mistake in spirituality is thinking it will make you feel better. Bam. Thank you 😂🙏💕
Thank you - I've been noticing this a lot recently, this phase where it feels like truth is more important than mystical states, feeling good, big emotional releases, or trying to "learn more" about specific lineages (my main teachers have been in Nondual Shaiva Tantra). But the kind of flipside to this has been what feels a bit like a subtle resistance to almost anything, or maybe not feeling drawn to anything in particular. Resistance is uncomfortable but feels very very subtle and just kind of there (with a big shrug). It's all more spontaneous compared to what I practiced for a couple of years (and realizations/dissolutions will just happen while watching TV or the like), but "pulling away" from practice or even spontaneity feels most prevalent. I try to stay oriented to truth but the "juiciness" level has definitely decreased lately (and yet okayness has increased dramatically). That said the baseline level of vibrancy has been quite high for a long time, like living in HD in a way that was not as accessible prior to any of this happening. It's an odd space to be in.
And with that thought, your seeking will never end. …. Which, makes THIS a good ending. The peace that passes understanding. There is no “somewhere else”.
This is really right on for me, I’ve seen through letting go of seeking ( after years of it), just feeling even lack of resistance, now it just feels wary… like all I want is to just wander around until so the fan can slow to a stop… time to just kind of be with all of it flying out the window…❤ty for this video, really pertinent for me…feeling just a tad lost lately with nothing left to hold onto, they were just thoughts anyway…
Sometimes I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away From the pain you drive into the heart of me The love we share seems to go nowhere And I've lost my light For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted love you've given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted love Now I know I've got to run away I've got to get away You don't really want any more from me To make things right you need someone to hold you tight And you think love is to pray But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted love you've given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted love Don't touch me, please I cannot stand the way you tease I love you though you hurt me so Now I'm gonna pack my things and go Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Touch me, baby, tainted love Touch me, baby, tainted love Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted love
Thanks Angelo. I wish I had heard that when I was a teenager from someone I really trusted and respected. Feels like I am only just beginning to realize this. Still, better late than never🤷♂️🙂🦋🎭
It is not about pleasure but it has been about ending resistance/suffering. Liberation always meant living in unbroken peace (i think you wrote this in your book). Is that also a false hope/belief? Because if one pays close attention then it is easy to see examples of liberated people having their peace broken by an unwell body. Isn't resistance what makes discomfort uncomfortable? Who can ever completely transcend it?
Isn't the idea of spirituality already co-opted by the mind? It is a concept. The biggest mistake in spirituality is the belief that something or someone is spiritual and that something or someone is not spiritual. Piss is bliss, and bliss is piss.
Im not sure what emotions actually are… Are emotions simply body-sensations with a particular, but arbitrary thought-label attached to it? Or is there more to than sensations? I often get confused/doubtful about my own experience of emotions when other people talk so confidently about their own emotions and how quickly they change for them. They are seemingly able to easily differenciate between “bliss, joy, glee, happiness etc), as if they are obviously different from each other and that they can make clear distinctions between them in their direct experience…

I made the same interesting observation in meditation quite a few years ago.. I think I just attach different word ideas to the same basic set of physiological sensations depending on the desired interpretation or situation at the time. No problem? 🤷♂️🙂

My encounter with an unscrupulous zen teacher was many years ago. He was a dink who eventually got punted by the sangha for hitting on the 18 year old daughter of a ‘senior’ member. One member who later became a teacher thought the sensei was giving a lesson to the senior member by hitting on his daughter. The senior member (the only person there at the time working on subsequent koans-no surprise) became a reclusive right wing extremist. I knew then I wanted nothing to do with anything where those were the end results. The daughter quit practice for good.
"Perception is the subtlest form of resistance"
This sentence has been blowing my mind all day.
Obliterating to smithereens

This is not self improvement, self-help.
This will not make me immune to challenges that come with the human experience.
understanding the shadows is compassion
The capacity for truth seems to expand with me. The new lighting looks good
I like your new setup. Camera quality looks nice.
TY
Perception is the subtlest form of resistance! Wow so clarifying 💜💥
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Hello Angelo. I'm intrigued by the comment that perception is also resistance.
What you are cannot be perceived or conceived. If you can perceive it or conceive it, it is not it.
Thanks Angelo, I really needed to hear that. ❤
You are so welcome

my experience has been similar
Thank you❣️
Hard paths are fine, but if there's no good ending to this, there's then no point and the solution must be found somewhere else
And with that thought, your seeking will never end. …. Which, makes THIS a good ending. The peace that passes understanding. There is no “somewhere else”.
@@Pam74055 well that peace sounds like a good ending
@@Oversampled It absolutely is😎❤️
Freedom to be Free
thank you angelo💫
I actually listened once then listened again and took notes. The orientation to Living Truth (not to what the ego/false self) wants😳. Thanks❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
You’re welcome 😊

more direct pointing thank you
Thanks Angelo, just what I need to hear...
I like this format for videos better..
Ia suffering relative??
🎶Tainted Love 🎶
Sometimes I feel I've got to run away
I've got to get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to run away
I've got to get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right you need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
Thank you, Angelo. You are a real blessing.
Thanks for this sharing to guide us here. Love and courage for this understanding to all beings.
Yep.

Good timing. Sheesh. The nondual UA-cam’s seems to be entering/entertaining the twilight/Jim jones zone… 😅

Who or what cares if spirituality is just an idea, a concept?….And it is….
@@birgit8996 There is no one who cares or does not care. There is only this.
I think this video would be perfect for that angry dude from the ATW Conference ❤

yes, just words for different situations….body sensation is the same.
The „problem“is the thought,….how something must be!

"Is it natural psychosis"? What does that mean? Does absolute /fundamental truth exist? (Not in relation to the opposition of it "False ")

What a Tire Fire
There is no "you" to wake up. There is only consciousness (awareness). 😂
no self=no resistance🧘♂️
Still there can be apparent resistance and a subtle self sense even after this recognition
Hey Angelo! I am curious… you’ve met many awakened people - have you ever met anyone that had a siddhi? Are they real or myth? :) Thanks!
accept duality , don't care about non duality ...
Frankly who gives a f... what brings you to the way!!!!
