Foolproof Method for Shadow Work

[@4991544]

The guy is just a total game-changer, like a lighthouse through the fog. In all my spiritual consumerism, from all I've heard, read, watched, practiced and studied, nothing has ever poked through the ignorance like this man's communication. I feel the deepest gratitude to him. Thank you Angelo.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Love, start loving and feeling and get grounded if not already that's important for some creation, I see that as one thing I've perhaps missed in my journey if rebirth and I must now let the akasha organize me. I must let Christ sort me out so I can bring my beauty to the world, I see the light coming.and I contributed to the collective unconscious but now I must transfer from hyper schizo patternary delusion to going with the flow and ascend to what I must be surely,.there is a way where there is a will,.but only choice can do evil, only choice can do better,.it all starts with free will , it all starts with one. In the conscience you will find, in consciousness you are, in being and all in your being you are, and you are. 💙 Silence is key, there is no key 🖤

23:30 I got an experiential answer to “What is it that I’m never away from?” in a sensory deprivation tank recently while using a self-inquiry question - I recommend combining inquiry w this experience if available. ❤ y’all for your bravery.

[@SherpaWithin]

🙏 really clear explanation on emotional work and integration. Thanks Angelo!

[@johnsquabbler3112]

"WHY do I want to awaken? is quite the question. What do I want from this? To begin with, my highest desire was total extinction - peace. The end of experiencing, the end of awareness, the end of life, philosophy, religion, politics, thought - just no more no more no more - go away and leave me alone. It was an alternative to suicide, which it turns out solves nothing, relieves nothing, ends nothing - or, nothing real anyway. That was at first. Now, I might have a different answer because the seeking has taken on a feeling of independent agency, and there is enthusiasm, frustration, bliss, despair, and practice - busy busy busy. In a sense, seeking restored purpose and the will to live, which is interesting. It came as a shock to realize my mind doesn't want this, and fights every step. But, something does. Something has no choice. Practice is a feeling of having a vocation, or a calling - something calling to me, come here - I'm right here. (My wife's happy I'm kind of "back." There is momentum in what appears to her as a direction of some kind - away from the total Nihilism that had been the prior position. No one I personally know "gets it" - just the on-line fantasms we are to each other in these makeshift electronic realties, but that's OK - I don't "get it" either. We're all in the same place, really.) So what do I want from awakening NOW? It's a different answer: I don't know. I don't want anything from it anymore. I want to go on seeking and suffering. The seeking is the separation. Apparent meaning and purpose are the Ego. Only "Awakening" still wants to awaken; I most definitely do not because it is now clear that I get nothing out of it. But, at this point, the inevitability of awakening is non-negotiable. I can't push it into the future anymore. It's not "this will happen" but "this is happening." What is "Spiritual Awakening?" It's just a more complicated and ultimately redundant term for life - it's all there is.

wow this video is really what is needed for me rn. I can see how I avoid working 1:1 with a teacher and I even had to write this comment as an excuse to stop the video bc something in me is still scared of waking up 😂 I’ll try answering the questions you mentioned TY 🔥

[@SamRoff]

So, so clear. Thank you Angelo. 'What is holding on' has been a potent inquiry here, and it's extremely revealing to me. Let's just say there are certainly some hidden agendas not wanting to let go... Very childlike and innocent.

[@crystalcandiano1849]

Have been searching for a longer shadow work video!! So excited to listen .

[@ami156]

One of my favorite talks so far Angelo. The energy is like you're speaking in my living room very intimate and clear really resonates well and uniquely ❤

[@pchabanowich]

The questioning, for me, is crucial. Asking the right questions at the right time, and letting the gut lead to wherever, and letting the troupes of Mara do their thing (every doubt in the world and more), but following where the gut is leading, for me the most difficult phase of the process - the lifetime of self-doubt and all the condemnations, opinions, beliefs and judgements in Mara's arsenal in my face - knowing that I had to move on way beyond my capacity, no longer following the gut but recognizing that an infinite and tender heft was somehow 'meeting me there'... even this is saying way too much. I still have that hilarious image in my soul of Gutenberg at the pearlies, St. Pete telling him that of course he is welcome past these gates, but we're sorry but ya can't bring the machine in with you!😎

[@annak.fitness9158]

honestly wanted to be free from suffering. like the buddha thing, you know? well, did not believe it could be possible for someone like me. Not the love and light kind of person, see clearly how my darker side has dominated life. But, did go for this retreat and your book. Now I am really in a painful place, but... well, it is what it is. Accepting that sitting with my guilt is fucking hard, and understanding. no quick fix, gave it another try in a new way.... actually trying to fix myself is a never ending project. So this shift gave me huge hope, and actually was sure for some years that I had one. But then old addictive shit just came back with full force, and now it feels really hard to not give in to the craving hunger. maybe that is what it is, my identity with beeing a bad addictive human. Hate that label. Good to just spell out my venom,sorry!

[@TheDogzBody]

What will it cost you? [0:18:41] As TS Eliot said in Little Gidding, ‘…not less than everything’.

[@TheDogzBody]

And nothing at all by the sounds of it. Which is apparently hilarious.

[@Sandrumful]

I like this notion of "shadow work" and "baseline" to emotions... I lke that you point to the Mystery * Sandra (from France).

[@C43Z]

This was powerful, feeling into the instinctual wordless question really brought me to that place where i wasnt allowing myself to always go because of attachment

[@Sashas-mom]

Thank you Angelo. This brought more peace and calm to the craziness. Undeniable tiny alteration idk but it’s profound, real, ethereal compelling and wise or knowing. 😢 thank you. 🙏🏻

[@Yourwellbeingguide]

Hi Angelo, I just wanted to say how impactful this method has been for my Shadow work. The questions work so well for me. Thank you

[@ravenofthewild]

Being an old psychedelic hippie from 60s I got caught in believing in Enlightenment which I believed for years was a great permanent psychedelic love n bliss explosion 💥. Along comes KZbin videos and true awakened beings who have revealed here that it's no wonder I have been exhaustively and endlessly seeking. Damn sparky! Thank you for dismantling the ideas and beliefs around Enlightenment. Thank you also for direct pointers and an understanding of it is always and already here. Much love and gratitude 💕

I often meet these numb hard places when I try focus into sensation in the body , I get the sense of being pushed back out or not allowed in despite my willingness to experience the discomfort.

[@cavallopazzo340]

Hey Angelo. In your book you say that the texture of daily life leads to more profound realization as one gets confronted with all their emotional triggers and so they dissolve, but it seems to me that even just sitting in the "I Am" for prolonged periods of time continues to purge more and more layers of suppressed/repressed emotions, also while being in hermit mode, at least that's my experience. Or is this maybe indicative of having more old trauma in the body than average and these are still just the "surface layers" that will stop coming up at some point and for the deeper layers to be dissolved I will need the textures of everyday situations?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Both of those textures and the contrast is quite valuable in later stages. Initially that solitude and focused inquiry is critical.

[@cavallopazzo340]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Ok, thanks so much!

[@catherinemittinger1894]

Oh wow. This felt undescribably intimate, thankyou!

[@lalitavajra6078]

Thanks, your talks link up and keep pointing, in a strange way uncomfortably because I don't know, i really don't know, and live in the 'known'... Years ago, I heard a voice as I sat down to meditate " Don't do anything........don't do anything.." Those words feel like an arrow ....in to the heart. I could not do this :) I had and have to do something ....Your channel has re awakened the sense of this voice, I can hear it as memory, as a voice echoing away, not my voice ; a voice that is firm, uncompromising, rich. So, I have been turning more towards this. I have no idea how to do this :) Recently i spotted soon after waking up that 'I have to do something' it is like I can't be naked, without something to do, without this doing something driving my day; there, at the beginning of my day. Thank you, you keep highlighting this " Don't do anything". It feels fundamental.❤ Strange, feeling into sensations, fool proof method, I noticed labelling sensations ME. Wow, I hadn't realised I did this, unconscious until a few moments ago. wow that was a surprise, made me smile, laugh. Very helpful talk , pointers, not just for me, john

[@Shmyrk]

So I think the part of me that doesn’t want to “wake up”, is afraid of losing “control”- But in the strangest way the “seeker” REALLY hopes it’s true that control is only an illusion. Wtf

[@Shmyrk]

And then “I’m” here talking about both of them as though we’re 3 different selves 💀

[@n-xsta]

@@Shmyrk right?! It’s getting very confusing to determine the ego shapeshifter or the “Being” 🫠🥲

[@Shmyrk]

@@n-xsta fr man. It can become “spiritualized” and it learns the lingo! At this point simple concepts are starting to not make sense for me. Like, what is the ego, even? What ISNT the ego? Or today while working I was questioning whether or not I “do” anything. And it was really messing with me. Things were being done but am I “doing” them? Who is the “I” that I’m asking if is doing them? I was getting wrapped up in wondering if “I’ve” ever done anything, and would start to think about a time that I might have, but then realized it was a thought. And everything in the here and now seemed to just be happening, and I could no longer even define what it meant to “do” something 😅😅😅

[@devonbonfy2506]

I had a situation recently where I felt joy followed by the door of my truck getting hit by I deer. Startled me. Had a similar situation happen a week before, I was feeling joy and actually thought, it's ok to feel joy, nothing bad will happen, boom, a tree hit the truck. They reminded me of a pattern I've experienced in my life, joy followed soon after by contrast. I know a couple of other folks who experience this too. It surprised me that I experienced it again, after all the hours I've meditated and how I feel peaceful as a baseline. Is this somehow related to shadow work? Is there something I can do to stop this pattern. Am dropping into presence as much as I can every day. Love the Awaken book.

[@Itwasrealbutnotfun]

Nice. Extraordinary timing. I’ve been thinking for 2 days “what do you mean by shadow work” and here’s this video. Hopefully it answers the questions. Half way through. What do I want from this? Freedom from suffering, from the (seeming) bondage / attachment to the separate self. No more fighting suicidal thoughts everyday (47 years of it so I’m used to it) no more feeling separate and alone, no more feeling different than everyone else, no more chronic anxiety and fear of everything. happiness maybe? The seeming joy and peace so many nondualies seem to have. Deep, frustrated sigh. I have been hitting zooms with Chelsea for a couple months per your suggestion. She’s a lovely being. Absolutely adore her. Idk what I’m doing exactly but I do show up and participate. 🩵
