Putting the Cart Before the Horse (Spiritually Speaking)

Would love and would appreciate to hear a video about the realism of awakening in that nothing may change in your every day life. It took me two years of suffering to realize that with awakening meant I won’t be special( nothing is going to change. It also took a significant amount of time to not be triggered, and jealous when others awaken and seem to have a lot of other friends and things really working out for them. I’ve now finally come to terms in an extremely humble way. This was a very hard process for me and not rosy and there’s no rainbows and there’s a beauty in that now.but it took me a long time. Things may turn around for sure and but right now I’m very alone and it took a while to come to terms with that. I wonder if you could comment on the awakening and how your day-to-day life felt ( the first few years after?)we may benefit from that I’m sure, thank you so much for all of your videos!❤❤❤❤ FYI, my version of special watered down to was just in general meeting another person who I felt a kinship with into have a nice relationship (one other person, not even friends, I’m pretty fine-tuned and what I thought I wanted, but even that’s gone.which was necessary, but still weird, things are just weird lately to be honest. ❤

Part of my mind is like…you already answered this in the video, but I seem to be flipping from certain later fetters and fully letting go of how my current circumstances are, it’s a big one for me❤

You will never be able to describe directness... description is already directness... so pure❣️

[@robanderson1706]

Brilliant! I love the pointing. As a young man I had an awakening at the age of 19 and have been unbinding since...the journey as a physician has been all part of it. Your pointing is well placed and appreciated. The deep parts are paradoxical. The way that can be spoken of is not the eternal way. Namaste🙏🙏🙏

[@tosvarsan5727]

this was amazing

[@birgit8996]

you can never feel the head or body...there are only sensations...❣️

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

Outstanding. It’s baffling because something somewhere understands every bit of this and equally, and at the same time, there’s tremendous confusion and I don’t understand any of it. It’s a mind f**k to be sure. I’m both drowning, feeling as if I’m never going to get this and nothing at all is actually happening.

[@katehiggins9940]

yea….. sounds real familiar ❤️ the resistance or reflecting of conciousness gets incredibly subtle….. at least for me because i was sooooo mind identified. but the more subtle, the more intolerable it can feel. directly proportional.

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

@@katehiggins9940 ugh. Sounds accurate. It’s not pleasant but it’s been unpleasant for me for about 5 years. The first 5 years were great. These last 5 have been quite hellish to be honest. I’d like to just give it all up and have tried too throw in the towel and walk away several times only to be back at it often times hours later.

[@katehiggins9940]

@@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496 yea i had a few good years …… blissful…… and the last few lots came up…… i still see the mechanics try to kick in ….. to grasp and fit into a story, essentially to keep the idea of me going…… but it’s much less often. i swear sometimes i literally hear my thoughts stop , like a computer being unplugged but it starts up again. today has been good tho lol…… to me it all comes down to fear of “losing” control….. we never had nor have it though. control implies control OVER something else. and ……there is nothing else . i don’t know this but it does feel doubtless ❤️

[@Pamela_Sinai]

@@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496 I'm in the soup with you -- or at least kind of maddeningly in and out and down and through and up and nowhere at all. I'm lucky I got a "glimpse" 20 years ago that everything is perfect after all. Far more perfect than this little body and mind can ever begin to comprehend, and all I can really do is fall down and laugh and worship in dizzying gratitude. It's painful to experience that and then "lose" it. But even knowing it is comfort enough, as I continue to stumble along the path. I wish I could give that taste to everyone. I think we'd all chill out a lot. Doesn't always make it easier when the soup is scalding my armpits. But hey, if it was easy, there'd be nothing to it.

[@jdubluffy1959]

Thank you so much for these videos. I had these intuitions and curiosities for spirituality since around when I was 13. But no one I knew had experience with awakening. I couldn’t confine in anyone and ending up hating spirituality and thought there was something wrong with me. But over the years I finally let go and started to explore this path less path :)

[@Petra09wongari]

Thank you so much Angelo! Wonderful pointings. Very relevant to me right now.

[@darfish5040]

Thank you❤

[@Sashas-mom]

Thank you Angelo. It’s so strange to know this but not be aware that the experience is already here. That statement doesn’t make sense. Never mind. ☺️ Thank you 🙏🏻♥️

Please indulge me: After Awakening, Peace, Serenity, and shifting of Worldviews. The gradual transition towards NonDuality. Its Simplicity and Clarity leads deep into a Dark Void, save a single door, illuminated by a Marquee flashing “Enlightenment.” As the door opens, all goes dark. Four words appear dimly visible on the marquee. “There is no One.”

[@birgit8996]

…..no one special….but there is….❣️

[@kazumawarren]

Thanks Angelo 🙏

[@mugaland]

Does the sensation need you to experience it? I had to laugh at this. This to me is a great question. A similar question was posed by Pernille in one of her 6th Fetter videos. It provided tremendous relief.😇

Thus have I heard; Bahiya got immediate liberation before the cow killed him.

[@AndreA-uw8mc]

Thank you

[@alfreddifeo9642]

❤🙏

[@prueevans8558]

The reason for the cow killing Bahiya is to justify his bothering the Buddha, who was on his alms round and disinclined to teach till later. Bahiya pleaded to have an immediate teaching as one can never tell when life will end. Also he was dressed in a garment made from tree bark

What are you’re thoughts on chakra or kundalini are they different from “awakening “ or are they all the same just labels

[@Joseluis77..]

I’ve been having some weird stuff with mediation and Tre I’m not sure what it means if it’s chakra or kundalini or or awakening or whatever , symptoms are out of body experiences, vivid dreams or visions , frequency hearing , vibrations , movement in my body like something unlocking , weird knot releases , weird pressure areas like tailbone and forehead and my heart as well as chest , weird smell experience

[@oolala53]

@@Joseluis77.. none of those are the same as disidentifying with illusory self. Who is having those experiences? You need to be honest with yourself, not what you've heard in satsangs.

[@Joseluis77..]

@@oolala53 how can I identify to be more honest with myself with whatever experiences are happening as it’s so weird because I don’t understand what it means

🩵💙💚💜🩶🤍🖤💛🩷🩵💙💚🤎❤️ I remember doing my first body dissolving meditation and noting that sensation is without a definable centre, border, or location…exactly like the universe I used to ponder.

[@oolala53]

I did 10 days of Vipassana and actually a lot more than that. I’ve never experienced body dissolving. At least that’s not how it appeared to me.

[@renko9067]

@@oolala53 Angelo talks a lot about how all this works differently for different people. I’d had a kensho years ago and when my health deteriorated I was determined to integrate it better into my life, and said it out loud. I stumbled across Rupert Spira before KZbin algorithms sent me Simply Always Awake. Spira’s body dissolving video had an immediate effect for me. I took it outside with me after, and very quickly my environment was extremely disorienting, not me moving through it but it/me morphing is the best way I can describe it. Since then, perceptual filters have been slowly peeling away as the unbinding unfolds. I hope this wasn’t boring 🥱 🙃

[@thewayofnoway]

Thank you Angelo. Body sensation is an endless fascination here. Watching the mind morph to create the body map, it’s so damn slippery. I’ve heard you use the term “undifferentiated “ so many times but suddenly today it was truly felt. 🙏🫶
