To the person who said: “it’s so much harder to do inquiry when there’s someone else around.” I get it. Relationships take up a lot of time. But the cool thing about inquiry is that you can do it on-the-fly, here and there. It’s not like Jhana practice where you need long periods of sitting in silence. Whatever you’re doing can become inquiry: “who is cleaning” - “what is driving this car” - “where are these thoughts appearing” - “what does the ‘I’ refer back to” etc. I’ve found it to be a portable tool. Also, an interesting fact: most people on the self inquiry retreats I’ve been on have had the Awakening (kensho / Satori) outside of the meditation hall. Usually it’s while walking in the grounds or while in bed dreaming and they literally wake up and True Nature is known. Or sometimes at home after the retreat is finished they go home and it just spontaneously happens. It’s not something that has to be worked out in a focused way. 😊

The mind keeps wanting to participate in the awakening process, like it's trying to manage the process. Then when there's an inkling of realization, the mind jumps up saying "ooooo! is that it?.... is that it?..... is that it???" Ultimately, that "it" never seems to arrive and I'm left with thinking that the mind has no understanding, but that's where this realization or awakening process ends. It's very confusing.

Awesome answers Angelo! One of the things I've noticed recently is that I am much more open to go to people and ask instead of just ruminating on a question and never asking because of being completely afraid of confrontation. I still feel that nervousness when talking to someone for some reason but it's a lot easier to actually approach and it happens with zero thinking about it beforehand. In other words, I don't imagine conversations anymore too.

Thank you for your commentary Angelo. What I find the most helpful while encountering my shadow are actually your videos about mind identification and meditation, also meeting my own pain with love and acceptance. The acceptance part is hard when body and psyche tantrums in tandem yet the very little part of me stays conscious and watches the cyclone while it’s happening. A year ago there was no conscious me present in that story. Now I feel (when I can 😂) and dis-identify (when I can) and it works. Slow process but worth it for sure as I can clearly see that my suffering is a mechanism that has been created and I now know it can also be un-created with practice. Many thanks to you as I find your teachings and book super helpful 🙏🏻 Ps.

Perhaps Alcoholics Anonymous. Paul Heddermanis a sober nondualist who got sober in and stays sober using AA’s 12 step process as well as the other standard suggestions in the AA program. I’m sober 10 years myself using 12 step process. I will tell you this, non-duality is not the answer for alcoholism. I know because I tried to use it, many have. I’m also not saying you’re alcoholic, only you can determine that. Maybe read the book called Alcoholics Anonymous. This is from a page in the book: “If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic.” I hope that helps somewhat. Alcoholism is something I have 35 years of lived experience with. I’ve been expanding and enlarging my sober experience with nondual awakening and all that goes along with that for my entire sobriety. Check out Paul Hedderman I guess. He’s a solid guy with plenty of experience and great wisdom for both people who are having trouble with alcohol and NonDuality as well. Good luck ❤

For years, I've been following the teachings of those who say "Thoughts become things, you create your own reality with thoughts." Visualization exercises, "law of attraction" type teachings. The idea of this felt empowering, but I never mastered it. In fact, I seemed to "manifest" all the stuff I hate, or the opposite of what I thought I wanted. Then I had years of very intense physical symptoms of anxiety, which led me to finding things like "The Release Technique", which helped me tremendously, then I found Mooji, who says "stay as the witness, don't create anything." I was doing Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations, which often focus on "creating your future self/personality." I wonder what you think of those types of things. I am burned out, but can't give up, for some reason. I also have had extreme instances where "something took me over" and I acted violently. That was helpful to hear that you understand that state of being, but I still have so much guilt. Maybe there is no "I", but violence occurred and someone was hurt. I am new to your teachings, but ever so grateful to have found you.

Hey Joe :) I started out on the spiritual path through manifestation/ LOA. But, after manifesting everything I thought I wanted, I was still totally dissatisfied with life. Because I was trying to find satiation through feeding the ego, the insatiable thought system within the mind. Expecting to be saved through serving the wrong master. So, the book A Course in Miracles miraculously came into my life ~ a highly sophisticated book on the non-dual nature of reality. It teaches that the foundation of the ego's thought system is guilt, so we feel terrible when we believe in egoic thoughts. But in Truth, you are not the ego, and you are totally innocent no matter how many stories it spins to make you feel guilty. There is nothing to feel guilty about, because nothing bad ever really happens in the form. Nothing good either for that fact. And there is another thought system you can tap into, the thought system of your true identity as Spirit, or your Self with a capital S. The book teaches you how to connect with the divine within, it truly is a gift. Wishing you all the best on your journey.

Dear Yvonne, Your timing could not be more perfect, and I am ever so grateful that you took the time to share this. I actually have started reading the Course in Miracles, and doing the daily lessons. I've been second-guessing whether it was just another wild goose chase of the ego, and I have been struggling with it. It feels so foreign. For instance, today's lesson is "My holiness blesses the world". What a lovely idea, but it doesn't feel true. it's hard to believe that I am holy. I will keep reading the book and doing the lessons anyway, even when they don't make sense. Thank you so much for your generosity. Truly, I needed that little nudge to keep going. I was about to give up on it.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

When you say the sense gates are our access point to reality (paraphrasing), what I am confused about is, anything we perceive by way of the senses, this is always going to be a representation, our mind/brain's best approximation or interpretation, right? I get that it's not that there is a 'thing out there' and then a rendering of it... I think. I guess the answer is that the perception is all there is, however it is. Maybe it's not even accurate to call it a representation, since there is no thing represented. The experience, is the experience, is the experience. And that is the only reality to be experienced in experience. Right? Would so appreciate guidance on this point!!!!!!!

So, to put it very simply: after awakening one still retains the capacity to engage in work, or even plan for the future, right? Or use imagination as a tool if that's what's required? I'm asking this as someone who has real issues with getting stuff done and has a strong tendency to just sit around and contemplate the present moment, etc. But planning and executing often seems like a monumental task. Perhaps it's perfectionism, so there's an actual desire to create, engage with life but also a persistent belief in my own helplessness, lack of control over my life in the relative, practical sense. How do I work with that? Question the "I" who believes is helpless? Or the motivations?

So the difference between experiencing episodically and periodically is that realisation is a permanent shift? Because it's clear I experience it episodically and periodically and experience it a LOT. I use experience colloquially. I know what you mean. But I also love to think without being identified with thought (though there are also thoughts that are not pure mechanistical thinking so I am not realised). Thinking is rich as a sense in and of itself. I'm sure you're still thinking, you're just not attached to it. Thinking as a tool instead of a master. But I agree this is insidious. I am or have been a deeply analytical person but over the years it has gone down a huge amount. There's a lot more living in the moment and letting things unfold or maybe I'm just winging it but he seat of my pants (this is what I used to think when I used to this, before I had to have it all planned out and be on top of things which I enjoyed but I've just changed, just more relaxed about it all). I wonder if something is happening gradually or maybe it's just relaxation, because that's all it is.

I'm not that exercised about the social matrix. I have people I can be authentic with who accept me. Don't need more. But there's a part of my ego that's still digging in, saying, "So I'm just stuck like a fly in amber in some multi-dimensional ever-transforming, never-transforming object of no time and no space with no purpose? I have no agency and I'm not even allowed to ask who came up with the whole thing or why? (Or apparently I won't care at some point -- and how is that different from being incurious and accepting my fate with pure faith like a religious fanatic?) And so what if I do surrender? It doesn't seem to matter anyway, since everything is already written…" Fully accepting the universe, war crimes and all, feels like Dr. Pangloss constantly chirping to Candide that this is the "best of all possible worlds." I know that's the most cynical possible interpretation. (Hello childhood trauma.) Even after doing so much shadow work, it still pops up between the cracks at the slightest chance. Especially when I feel vulnerable -- when I feel close. I guess it's not anyone's job to sell me on the universe. Other parts of me know it's all a gift, magnificent beyond all reckoning, and so much more than any human can begin to enjoy and appreciate in thousands of lifetimes. But my little ego still (quite hilariously) seems to think it's a savvy and canny maverick who’s going to outsmart the universe, if only it hangs on long and hard enough and thinks hard enough. Sigh.

Great video. Thanks. Check out the Oscar’s nominated Japanese movie “Perfect Days”. It’s about a man living in a perfect state and living life. It’s difficult to describe but absolutely beautiful.

Enneagram fear points are 5,6,7, 2,3,4 are image points, and 1,9,8 are anger points. But everyone has fear, anger, and image. The Enneagram is a powerful system to see the primary fixation of the ego-how the ego identifies at its root. Seeing your Enneagram point deeply helps you wake up from it.

Yah for anxiety and depression appearing to no one, happening to no one, yet at the same time (seemingly) being able to burglarize the house of any sort of enjoyment. 😂🥺🤪 Who am I 🥸 I don’t know but whoever I am, he’s got (seeming) issues. 😋😜

hello viewers of simply always awake, I have a question for you all or anyone here, what, if any, changes have you noticed in your facial expressions/eyes during this path? something I think about semi-regularly as its very fascinating to look into all the eyes of these teachers but I don't see anyone rlly talk about it, they look crazy (crazy as in crazy cool)

How is it possible to fully get what you say, vids and book, yet be so far away from even a shade of awakening. Ha! The joke’s on me. Huh??
