It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Enters the Void

[@Mychannel28901]

Hello angelo. I‘ve been with the channel for some years now and i am grateful for your guidance. I just wanted to say i am at a point now where i have a ringing, a burning, terrifying sensation in my chest and all the familiar avenues of distraction, dont seem to work anymore. Underneath it all there is a, sense that this is … good, i guess, but i cant seem to sit down and face it either. Its like an appointment that never arrives, and an oven eternally left on in a home i cant find. If you had any advice, it would be appreciated. Love you and thanks for everything

Its so beautiful that even just a leaf falling from a tree, a raindrop on the window, a ray of light in the room can completely obliterate you when openenness is there. "Oh my god! It was never that"

this is one of those direct pointings I really appreciate. I could listen to it all day long and stare into the abyss. Thank you so much Angelo ♥️🙏

I finally had the no-self shift yesterday. 🙆🏻‍♀️ I had many glimpses of no-self and experiences of no-self leading up to it, but with the actual shift it’s like something has just fallen away, some tether is gone. But if you were to ask me “Can you still suffer?” I just feel like yes, I’m pretty sure I can still suffer. Because I feel like there’s definitely still lots of potential left for selfing. So I’m not sure if this counts as the no-self shift. I guess we shall just have to wait and see how things play out…

I see it. It’s space containing everything usually called “out there” as well as “this body.” But there’s nothing solid there. It’s just pulsating, warming, falling into itself over and over and over. Like a waterfall, and I’m the abyss it’s falling into, which contains the waterfall again, and then falls into the abyss again. Is this what’s meant by “form and formlessness?” Well I guess that’s actually obvious. It’s obvious what I’m calling “form,” but it’s even more obvious where I’m looking at “form” from. Itself. I’m out there, looking in here, and finding no obstruction. It just passes straight through me. I recently listened to tool’s rendition of “no quarter” and I think think I actually know what it means now. “They choose the path where no one goes” “Walking side by side with death.” It’s all laughably simple, and yet I can feel myself endlessly complicating it again. Outside & inside, not two.

Thank you for this (and all the other) videos.When I watched this last night I had a sense of almost,but not quite getting something that should be obvious. I am planning on re-watching this video at least once a day for a while to see what happens.

There is a recognition that has become easily available and present. I literally have no words to describe it; every word I type feels like reification and says too much, but I will try. It is the simplest recognition of is-ness (even that word feels so loaded and excessive), or fact-ness-the very direct and only-ness (it is even less than only, because there is no option more than it). So simple, unadorned, and non-special: the unmoving unknown without the possibility of anything else. However, there is a lot of suffering and beliefs to undo for the apparent self (I don't like the word "apparent" anymore, either, haha), and I cannot seem to do that from the position of the recognition. The stories are sometimes strongly believed in, bought into, and any inquiry into their validity happens in the domain of the stories, with a personal identity-granted, considerably vague at this point-at the center. When I am in that suffering state, I wonder: Is there any better way? Am I making a mistake in how I am processing the beliefs, emotions, trauma, etc.? Could there be something more efficient, more appropriate, and less painful than how I am going about it? I am going about it by going out into the world, doing things I previously wouldn't dare to do, getting triggered, and then processing those triggers using whatever tool I can think of at the moment. There is a madness to this, an aggressive drive that has nothing to do with my personal story of who I took myself to be. When the suffering is at its peak and the beliefs are strongly bought into, it indeed feels like this is going to be endless. And in a way, it is endless, or at least, I cannot know what's coming; I cannot make plans with certainty anymore, and I cannot rely on my personal story with a trajectory of reaching somewhere in the future. All of these are just thoughts, and there is no promise of anything in the future. There is simply no option to be happy or done in the future-that is a dream. And as soon as I look for the recognition, I find it right here. It doesn't solve anything; it has no rewards, there is no negotiation with it, and there is no bridge to it from the suffering. Ugh, I hate almost every metaphor and word I had to use to write this. Nothing can ever be described with language satisfactorily.

great smile at the end. and nice haircut. thank you angelo😍

[@immanuelhennicker9300]

Yea I found that there is something that tries to forget the insight of no self and no seperation for having the feeling of comfort and control. It's really weird because it feels real, although the insight is still obvious. Emptiness of self is really...funny and unexpected somehow. Like just taking the I-sense aside and everything is literally the same. Just no Self nor self anymore which relates to anything.

[@stargirl9551]

I had the same experience just yesterday. Suddenly, that interface/overlay popped up that made it seem like I was a self/agent with all of these potential options/choices in front of me. I was like, “Wow, I know this is all just fabrication on top of raw experience, but the fabrication is so TEMPTING. It feels pretty good to have choices and all these potential paths in front of me, and to feel like I’m in control. BUT… I’m not falling for it anymore.” And the interface dissolved within a couple of hours. But I wasn’t waiting for it to dissolve, it was just like “Okay, that thought-based overlay can just be here, I’m just not going to engage it by believing in it”. Haha. Then, when it dissolved, there was even more clarity than before.

[@immanuelhennicker9300]

@stargirl9551 It's a weird place where traction of the process is unavailable

[@stargirl9551]

@@immanuelhennicker9300 It’s definitely part of the process though. It’s like you get all of your old delusions/misperceptions shown to you and you can see how they were so convincing before, but now with insight they are no longer convincing.

[@johnpienta4200]

6:50 "What you think you see is not what you see" Hoo boy is that true. Haha. What you see is what you see. Or maybe "What is seen is sight itself" There's no right way to say it. But what's really amazing is we can really get confused about what counts as "thought"

[@richardcameron9835]

Hello Angelo, thank you for your videos this one in particular hit something and I wondered if you could expand. When you said "The mind is not what you think it is" and about the distinction between real & unreal, these two really had an impact. For me I have seen clearly a distinction between conceptual reality and actual reality as the map vs the terrain. In that I guess I had the mind as conceptual or objective overlay, a tool or function within reality and one that can define dimension, distance, time for all the uses these have. Yet seeing that I had the mind as thought because all of that was thought stuff, so actual mind is not thought? And distinctions are also known without thought, I do see this. My experience of life is something like wonderful and scary at the same time, yet the scary is not fear, it is more like known & unknown at the same time. Recently it has dawned that all thoughts, dreams, predictions, beliefs, understandings from my perspective are all dream stuff too... Including the understanding that mind is thought or at least the conceptual aspect...

[@ahmadeisaa888]

I love your constant uploading 🤍 reminds me constantly of first awakening and give me insights ... My experience now is dissolving of separate identity and the one to suffer but still something in me that wants to revive it by annnythinnng ... Addiction , sadness and constant seeking . Sometimes I feel rage and mind wandering , other times laziness Beside the times of absolute joy ... What to do or not to do here ?! Is there a video you made about this to recommend ?! 🤍

Just keep at it, your instinct knows! I wish you fruition!

Beautiful Angel o, thank you once more. I, for one, know how the dream of me and is world to be, can be so convincing, yet, so volatile, once you leave the kitchen behind and let the cake of me, burn into ashes in the mind stove. The stove will remind, still, no more recipe of me will ever be made again, no more improvise cooking of ( i ), to be served to others, nor to one's own true self.

Step into the Dark Abyss. The Dark Abyss is very illuminating. LOL 😝 The sensed presence of a Being, that is Conscious, Aware, experiencing THIS. Happening to No One. Nothing but a dark void in which Consciousness Explodes. Even Amazing and Wonderful are too many words. lol.
