From Awakening to Eternal Stillness

[@AlexanderSamarth]

In the days and weeks after the awakening, things kept falling off and it felt like all seeking, restlessness and personal will were ending completely, but only to come back almost stronger for a while, I was not entirely sure what was going on but I kept trusting the process and now it's finally beginning to empty out, a kind of equanimity seems to be setting in.. it may or may not be permanent yet but there's much deeper acceptance of even the rough parts. Thank you Angelo, your channel has done so much for me these past few months 🙏🏻

[@immanuelhennicker9300]

Absolutely Crazy! You described exactly whats happening for me for the last months or so. The transition is tough. Everything's so automatic, but the watcher is still creating dualities, which feels literaly like hell some times. At the same time it's absolute natural and peace is not leaving. Helped me so much to watch this video, thank you Angelo. Suddenly I hear you struggling finding words, but It's so simple and clear suddenly what you are talking about. Did not expect that lmao

Recently, I realized that for as long as I can remember, whenever a negative thought or feeling arose in me, I would immediately think of something positive to counteract any emotion I didn't want to feel. I have started to catch these thoughts before I make a new story and lean into any emotion that arrises in the present. Hasnt been easy to fully surrender to the feelings and thoughts that arrise but the longing to be authentic and not run away anymore is stronger. This video has helped me further recognise this happening in me.

I thought at first it was a breadcrumb, but in retrospect I was cracked open by a body dissolving exercise and subsequent walk last fall. It’s been expanding since. It was like dropping down a waterslide: I didn’t have to do anything.

[@keemaana8428]

Gratitude Angelo! It seems that the stronger the connection with the Soul (essence), the stronger the vividness/aliveness of sensations in the body. The body vibrates more and more and appears a bit like a vibrating/pulsing cloud and not like solid matter. From my experience, I would say that truly feeling your body all day long is a very powerful healing tool because it allows one to be in contact with the nectar and balm of unconditional Love of the Soul.

thank you, it is pointing me back to the sensation in my neck -tendons above collarbone, - it happened, once energy was running through my body, when it revealed it was love it moved up from the feet, and got stuck at that neck. So your pointing to experience it directly helps, its been there for some years now, tried somatic experiencing, inquiry, listening, and it definitely helped even some tai chi energy work. experiencing it directly and more vividly thanks to the pointings is very calming, thanks again!

[@alfreddifeo9642]

So to the point, feels like what was happen here to a me. Going to do what you suggest and resign to struggle. Than something feels or a thought thinks this is your problem and you need to listen to more videos,that thought is seen. Just say yes to stopping staying here in surrendering. Thank you much love and gratitude for your never end guiding us home for this community of sharing 🎯♥😶 🙏☮ wishing love, grace, courage and understanding for all 1/5/24

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 🙏 I really related to this video. Allowing myself to unfold while watching these videos and then going about my life has been such a joyful and freeing experience 🙇‍♀

[@AshleyStuart]

One of the things that I'm getting used to right now is feeling the sensations all of the time. It's a bit of a strange still feeling all of these sensations throughout my everyday life. And they get very very strong during my actual formal sittings. It's totally fine though but just taking a bit to get used to.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

It does take getting used to but it pays off in huge ways with practice

[@jamesthomas1244]

Thank you Angelo. You are addressing my exact conflict. There is this sense of struggle or contraction that appears as an instantaneous overlay of a human form separate from all else. I can see it happening just after the fact because it's so F-ing fast. It's like the skin or costume of a self-separate has a huge rubber-band attached and does not want to give up the ghost. I am just being gently and kindly present with it all as this dynamics seems to grow clearer. Thank you. Your radically direct commentaries really help.

[@dethtrain]

16:00 omg. I came to this conclusion a few months ago. That no matter what I do it's just going to lead to a dead end. This has caused stuckness, frustration, restlessness but also daily distraction that's almost robotic in nature. And now a more recent conclusion of just "stop. Just stop. Stop. Stop stop" literally stop, look at my wall. Stop.

[@Sashas-mom]

So helpful again. Thank you Angelo 🙏🏻♥️

[@KristinShepherd]

My mind throws this carrot ahead of me: In another clip, you mentioned something like, of course it’s good to take care of your body and eat well and all of that. I can feel my mind reach for that and want to grip and struggle and decide what’s right. Why would a body bother drinking a glass of water or eating well? (I have a chronic “eating poorly” identity habit.) How does the choice to eat well happen without the mind getting involved? How does one get to “of course it’s good to eat well and take care of the body?” When I sit with this, I feel some despair. I’m glad to sit with it. Is it just more staying here and not reaching up for manufactured carrots? My guess is yes. I feel the feeling of being lost in this bit. Abyss-ness. Which feels about right. ❤❤ So clear, your work. Thanks.

[@bianka35686]

One moment I have the feeling that yes...I understand what you're pointing at, next moment..I m like....damn...I m lossstttt...

Wow Thank you Angelo

[@TheodorOnarheim]

Thank you.

[@greatthings68]

The mind is one turning itself into a game of two, powered by the reactivity of identity

You are so welcome

[@daveschauweker7375]

Great simple but profound video. It hit me right at the exact moment I was ready for it. Thank you so much.

[@Ryan-Dempsey]

Right now I'm feeling this sense of pure fear and raw vulnerability. I don't know if it's a really unconscious trauma that happened or if it's the fear of death. The last practices I've been doing are somatics exercises and in the last few days I dropped doing them. Was talking to tony parsons and Jim Newman on the phone the past couple of days too. There appears to be nothing I can do other than feel what needs to be felt.

[@Ryan-Dempsey]

I felt this strongly last night too and when I opened up about it to my mum (Im living with parents), this explosive energy came out, which included a lot of resentment and hatred toward my mother coming out. Now, I don't know whether to open up again or just feel it myself.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Feeling is key and noticing any thoughts that arise AS thoughts as critical. When experience is this direct even subtle thoughts can seem to amplify the physical experience. Stay as close to sensation as possible :)

[@Ryan-Dempsey]

Thankyou 🙏

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

It may be rather difficult for others who have not gone through this to relate to you. I often caution people not to expect those close to them to be able to empathize with existential fear. It's of course up to you to decide when and how to share these experiences with others but just be willing to ask yourself what you are expecting from them when you share. Can they really make you feel better? Do you really need to feel better or feel any different than you do at any given moment? Just stay experience close and things will take care of themselves, there's nothing to fix or change. Many have gone through this before you and many will go through it after you :)

I'd love to hear some pointing about going out of the conceptual, beyond conceptual, I'm sensing that that's what it's all about and that's how you'd exit the matrix

[@Samuel96889]

I'm literally there as I'm watching this video... well I guess I'm always there😅😢

[@iacopocappelli3626]

For me that sensation of struggle is the same of the "effort" in doing things. Make sense? is the contact point with spontaneity

[@ashleysmashley444]

I’ve been trying to find an answer to this question, how do you explain all the prominent spiritual figures who believe we have free will? If they were really that tapped in, wouldn’t they understand the ultimate truth?

[@Godamole]

I often feel myself straining to stay absolutely still during meditative self-inquiry. Almost afraid to move my eyes to another point, afraid I'll "lose contact". Feels silly but I don't know if it's also resistance to just staying here? Should I allow myself to move? Should I just get up and walk around the room? If not why not?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

When you notice this, take a moment to relax your entire body and then start again :) Tension doesn't maean anything specific but it can become distracting :)

[@Jacklloydmusic]

After permanent shift, do you not have to keep pulling back to immediate experience and keep disolving beleifs and recognising thought sound ect?

[@julipozsar6597]

What's the difference between being anxious, feeling it all the time at the background, and this exercise?
