Shortest Path to Non-Dual State (Hint: It's NOT a path!)

I discovered angelo dilullo a few days ago on the Zdogg channel. I must admit at first I thought "oh no, another non dual teacher", but I am very delighted with everything I have heard. He has not said one word I disagree with. ....waiting for the book to arrive from amazon

Welcome

[@Deborah28277]

Found your channel… starting from the beginning ! Thank you

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Keep that beginner’s mind, it will serve you well :)))

[@beautifulrose8619]

I am doing the same thing.

[@djimmy92]

When I try to stay present, so much bodily resistance comes up and I stop. Why this is happening?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

To point to you what to investigate. Feel into those sensations/experiences... where does the "resistance" reside? what are you taking refernce from, explore, let it untangle even if it's uncomfortable :)

The character wants to return to nothingness, and nothingness wants to return to the character. The greatest example of duality is non-duality.

[@mat.se57]

Interesting viewpoint 🙃

[@nercanb]

The character seems to simplify for me making it easier to return to nothingness.

"The thought says: 'That doesn't make any sense to ME.' " GOLD!!!

Stumbled across this older video today and what a beautiful Goldmine of non-pointing ! truly helpful! Looked in your non-duality playlist on the Chanel and did not find it listed there. You may want to put a copy of this video in that playlist. It certainly belongs there! And that seems to be a point of view ha ha.

[@westonbarter8309]

Hey Angelo as you point out, the language of these terms can be confusing and misleading. "We are all one", "True self" "Not separate" etc. My question is: if we aren't separate, why do we not experience all sensations of the entire universe and why do we not have the ability to tap into the experience and mind worlds of other beings? Certainly when there is more clarity of mind, there is more connection and attuning in my experience. But I think the phrase "we are all one" can make me draw conclusions that aren't true...like I have any say over what other people think. Thoughts?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

I wouldn’t say “we are all one” is an accurate representation of nonduality. With the experience of non-dual (no subject-object construct operating) there is not a sense of a bunch of separate beings that are somehow connected. That’s more how the mind imagines it, especially when a phrase like we are all one is considered. With mind-identification it’s not possible for the thought process to perceive non-dual so it extrapolates everything from the view of its own inborn sense of separateness, agency etc. Then it comes up with all kinds of conclusions and questions that just don’t fit the actual experience. Non-dual is more like there is no one else , nor is there a distinct self. There is only this non-locatable environment self responding and self propagation as textures of sense phenomena. It’s not a cognitive or heady experience in any way, it’s just like, “oh no shit… so this is how it is.” And it’s much clearer and self obvious than the minds version of spacial experience. Thanks for the comment.

[@westonvanbuskirkbarter2097]

Yes that clarifies. That feels more in line with what I'm sensing. I think my mind just really wants my experiences and the philosophy and descriptions I've read to match, because...ego haha. I'm also questioning the nature of stillness and if stillness is inherent to our nature or a result of the mind calmed from identification. Because it seems to fluctuate.

[@PaulMcMinotaur]

@@westonvanbuskirkbarter2097 I think stillness and activity are both inherent to our nature. Our nature is all of nature, and within us opposites become one.

[@KK-qd6ro]

When you experience all as one there are no other people. : o )

[@premprabhakar1083]

If you experience stillness quietness in side you.. you will realise it connected with all. We can't identify glass of water (self) in ocean (conscious). We are all are part of collective consciousness.

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

Aren’t we always in the non dual. Is it a state or is it just being? The experience of nonduality is duality isn’t it? Not being flippant here, you were recently suggested to me. I’ve been working on this crap for 9 years. Seen several recognitions of no doer, no free will and had plenty of wonderful, blissed out, profound moments but there’s always a return to what are sometimes suicidal depressions, pointlessness coupled with nihilism and other such feeling states. My mind has picked up absolutely everything I’ve heard from everyone I’ve listened too. I can talk like I know exactly what I’m talking about, and in moments I do, but nothing linear as of yet. I can chop it up with the best of them and come home to complete pointlessness. I thought it was supposed to make life enjoyable, simpler and easier to recognize no self. I can’t find one of course but it sure feels like there’s a soul or something. I’ve thrown in the towel many times only to be back consuming it all the next morning. 😂😂

I heard them, and was wondering as well. 🎶 Likely a notification of some sort.

[@theaustralianhulk]

He didn’t turn his phone off lol. Would think he would have turned it off after the first notification, but hey, he’s the enlightened one right?

[@renethomas5757]

He couldn't do it because he isn't the doer.

Bro knows what’s up.

[@erikamoore8293]

Thank you! So helpful!

The phone notifications are really distracting lol. Would’ve been nice if you would silenced your phone before recording 😂

Hi Angelo! Could you tell us if we can expect to get an spanish version of your book or maybe it's very soon for that? Thanks a lot. What you give us it's like having a refreshing glass of water!

yes, being translated. Hopefully in the next 6 months :)

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I sure hope that is true. There is a huge part of me that does not want to let go.

@@beautifulrose8619 one key to this is to see clearly that the part of us that wants to hold on isn’t doing us any good 😊

[@beautifulrose8619]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I know you're right. It is hard to let go of something that is so famliar and go into something unknown. I guess I don't trust yet.

@@beautifulrose8619 also even “letting go” is a distortion of the mind. We don’t really let go out of anything it’s much more like letting go Into Everything. 😍🐶💨
