About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.
Disclaimer: The information presented in these videos is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychiatric or medical illness. The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment. Seek help wherever necessary which might include a hospital emergency department, a suicide helpline etc.
thank you Angelo 🙏❤️
This is the first of yours that's really baked my noodle, Angelo. It feels as if awareness, knowingness, and consciousness are synonymous. Aware of my knowing of having consciousness or knowing I'm conscious and aware - what's the difference? Help me, Obi-Wan!
Synonymous ❤
@@HasItEverNotBeenNow don’t try to differentiate. Drop the question and let the baking continue, just dont try to be the chef
Truly a blessing to have found you. Been going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole for 8 years passed from one teaching to the next, each time going deeper. With your teaching, I’m starting to see that there is no bottom and no rabbit ❤️🙏
I also, have been seeking and sitting for 3 decades. Angelo has taken me to a non-level if you will.
Hey Angelo (or anyone reading this) please tell me where I am wrong:
The I is neither this nor that. Because any of these would be a thought.
Isn't who I am just the experience itself? That's the only constant thing.
Part of the experience are thoughts, which frame the experience. They act like boundaries.
So the only thing unsatisfying about this is the thought that says "This answer is not satisfying"
@@WasguckstdudieURlan beautiful, now can you just settle into that experientially and let go of the conceptual framework?
Another great video Angelo! Thanks for sharing this wisdom!❤️
Hi Angelo! Would you say that even the experience of a me that is waking up is also an appearance in this ocean of consciousness?
Yes
You don't exist
I don't exist only BEINGNESS exist
Only space exist
Space is playing as you as me in his dream
I you and all teachers are dream
Yes
You don't exist
I don't exist only BEINGNESS exist
Only space exist

Yes definitely
Any idea on how to handle physical suffering? Like im having an inflamed gut atm, which disables me physically and mentally for a few days. Or if youre sick with the flu or the like... i feel like inquiry is (nearly) useless at such times and theres no clarity at all.
Thank you!!!
Extremely helpful ❤
I love you Angelo
Hi Angelo, I was wondering what you think the best conditions/settings for awakening are? Most seem to get it somewhat spontaneously thinking about it while others including yourself have gotten it in deep meditation. I’ve even heard different theories on the best settings for inquiry - doing it in a public place so the ego is kind’ve “triggered,” versus alone in a dark room where you can focus. I know that prescribing a specific exercise or routine can give the wrong impression about awakening, and that it’s probably very subjective anyways, but I think it could be helpful since there are some vague patterns here and there in the events leading up to it. Anyways if you do decide to talk about this in a future video I would be very excited to hear your insight!
Good question. Maybe future video

Hello Angelo I've been watching your channel for 3 years, I'm very drawn with what you talk about even though still don't know what it is, and I'm just tired of this, I just believe you are fantasizing about this stuff because what's the point of giving people an expectation that they can end their suffering, what's the point of it, you talk about this initial shift a lot, and from there we can see "clearly" well what about people that just don't have that shift, I didn't have it and all you are saying is just confusing me and creating even more suffering in my experience I'm just more dissociated and all i hear in my head is your teachings about "looking closely" when I just cant find anything, yet I'm still suffering and having lots of contractions, stress and still beliving that I can achive this "awakening" I'm tired of it I'm taking a break from your channel because I don't think you are conscious about the effects you have in people's life and I don't find any benefit just a bunch of confusion
The "initial shift" will not necessarily end suffering. Angelo never promised that and I know for a fact that it doesn't. Suffering is an outcome of resistance to certain unavoidable experiences. Setting aside the experience that is bothersome, just gently observe the resistance to it and see what happens. Set expectations aside too.
Is it fair to say the point of living is to live, and the point of awakening and realization is to enjoy it more and sort of be better at it? Which basically means enjoying it more... Appreciating its beauty and clarity and diversity and fluidity more deeply, which somehow got a bit covered up in the course of human development (but if it hadn't, we wouldn't have all these interesting wars and melancholy and revelatory art and technology and such, I suppose).
We're supposed to enjoy the fruits (for better or worse) of the human ego all around us, and the nature we haven't destroyed yet, while being like dolphins?
"On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reasons.”
~ Douglas Adams
I know there's no "supposed to" per se. It's all just an ineffable fluid unfolding. My mind still craves some kind of "true north," even if it's simply "Have fun and try not to be an a--hole." I could live with that.
A part of me still thinks that's too simple and easy. There's some duty I have somewhere. Letting go of that sense of duty seems to be one of my last screens to fall. I'm in a place of such privilege compared to most. Easy for me to muck around and enjoy myself and dance and do art and frolick with my kids.
I’d say it’s not about enjoying yourself nor is it about duty. Rather it is about experiencing reality as it is: Unconditioned, Unborn, Undying

@@abdulrashid-iy8lt Please stop replying to every comment with that. It’s pointless and very annoying.
Difficult for the mind to release the linguistical limitations of language
What to say…..
How 'bout an emptiness check?
Angelo what have you done to me? You have made me feel not so suffering? Aee you are magician?
Hi Angelo
I just recently watched David McDonald’s video about how he’s leaving behind non dual teaching because of the severe depersonalization it caused him as the self dropped. He talks about monks who’ve ended up in psychosis and people on the verge of suicide. As someone who hasn’t even had the initial shift I’m not gonna lie I found it pretty jarring. I used to listen to his videos about nonduality and I even had a 1 on 1 session with him. I believe he’s interviewed you before on his channel. I was just wondering if you had anything to say about it. It’s kind of made me question how far all of this should be taken if all we really want is happiness.
Haha funnily just watched his video as well and it made me want to host a conversation between Angelo and David. I like David sharing authentically and I feel he addresses some important points but I don't agree with everything he said and I feel like Angelo's approach to teaching non duality clears up all the problems David was pointing to. Angelo's focus on shadow work and feeling everything is for me a big step away from the depersonalization David was talking about. I've had many phases of intense depersonalization like David mentioned and coming back to some of Angelo's pointers always helped me navigate it.
I personally could feel the anger David was touching into in that video so would take it with a pinch of salt, I liked that he spoke about it all though
It's an important part of this journey to navigate
non-duality isn't the only path to happiness and freedom in this life. rob burbea or michael taft for instance teach a much more daily life oriented approach that lead to the same freedom
Hey Angelo, David McDonald just posted a video regarding disassociation and no-self. I was wondering if you could comment on this?? Essentially, he says that what he thought was no-self realization was actually just extreme derealization. He even goes on to insinuate that no-self is not even a thing and that its only derealization.
It feels like he was just incredibly disturbed by his experience. I feel for him; but i find it interesting that he is now throwing away the whole pursuit, and even saying things like "Where is the evidence for no-self being a good thing?"
It seems really odd.
@@wsheasley response video coming tomorrow
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake cool, thank you
I agree with your take, appreciate his honest sharing but feel like it probably triggered some stuff leading to throwing the baby out with the bath water

where can i find this video by david? was it taken down?!!
Is "consciousness" a noun or verb?
@@georgeshepherd3381 yes!
that’s exactly what i was pondering today!!!! the thought re words “ noun” and “ verb “ as real things keeps poking at me!

@SimplyAlwaysAwake This video is about something that has puzzled me for a long time. There is a part of me who rejects what is being said, because my experience does not feel infinite at all. My experience covers only a small subset of the world. Maybe it doesn't have well-defined boundaries, but that doesn't imply that it is infinite. The concept of infinity appears in mathematics. If this is the notion of infinity we are talking about here, it does not seem appropriate to represent my experience. Can you explain my "experiential" dissonance with what you are saying? I don't want to sound critical, it is just something nobody ever clarified to me. I could put it succinctly like this: If I am infinite and everything, why can't I hear your thoughts when not watching UA-cam? Am I expecting too much from the term infinity or is the term misleading?
Hi Florian, this may or may not be what you’re looking for but I think Angelo isn’t so much pointing to infinity as concept as much as he’s pointing to it as direct experience. The mind can conceptualize infinity, but can it ever truly comprehend and understand it? This is subtle but When you say, “my experience does not feel infinite at all”, this is a reflection of experience that is coming from the mind trying to analyze it. But when you sink into what he is talking about, letting go of analysis and any conceptualization, you can see that there are no limits or boundaries in direct experience. Consciousness can “move” or shift into any shape or form and if you observe any limits or boundaries to this, it can only be coming from the mind. When you say, “if it’s infinite I should be able to read your mind” there’s an assumption there that somewhere out there, there are thoughts being generated by a character named Angelo that you can somehow pick up on. Again, this is a mental activity, there is only what is in your direct experience right now. The universe in full exertion. Nothing left, nothing hidden.
@@BigTuna_Kahuna good answer
Surrender yourself to yourself
Your consciousness pointers are so effective
That's it❤

How do I stop mind from trying appropriate this and encapsulate it into a model of reality?
It’s become obvious to me that it can’t be done. That “This” is beyond understanding, and beyond all thought and is non-conceptual and thus literally and fully ineffable BUT….
“I know that” and this knowing, that “I” has is what tends to be seen when trying to look directly into/as everything (reality/actuality)
My mind seems to be able to satisfactorily articulate the fact that it can’t be satisfactorily articulated. That’s said kinda funny, but I still find myself forming views, refining views, about just how beyond thought it all is.
It’s kinda funny, because , well…how ridiculous!?!?
And yet, I think that I need to get beyond or behind ( or something) this continuing attempt to understand if I’m to Awaken more fully.
Any advice?
'Beyond' is a concept used to counter the untruth that we are just meat-bodies striving in a language-reified, 'objective' world. 🧑🏭👨🏭
@@ronjenks4133 of course “beyond” is a concept. It’s a word. What word/words would you suggest instead that are not a concept?
That’s what I was trying to imply by saying “beyond, behind or something”

Thankyou! Wanted to interject with ‘being cross’ as usual, speechless. Bloody brilliant
Realize everything that’s false and then forget it and you’ll arrive at the truth.
