Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.

I have been meditating on and off for many years and I had to stop for long periods because the I meditated the more anger would show up. And I mean anger like a wild lion who's just been caught and caged. And that would be followed by wanting to isolate myself away from humans and obligations. Now it still happens but I look into it. The anger is still present but with less intensity and fewer ocurences. I still prefer to be alone in nature with my pets rathan with other humans for long periods. I look into that too but there's no change here!

I have been experiencing this for a year now, and i thank you for your simplistic explanation. All I need is to allow and direct awareness to sensation, and it unfolds. This has been a physically painful and uncomfortable experience, BUT there is a clearing and release of energy/belief/narrative that makes it a bit addicting.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Wonderful :)

[@jeriborer8732]

Thank you Angelo. This is tremendously helpful! I have been doing shadow work for the past 1 to 2 years, but there is one recurring issue that keeps popping up. It is the feeling that I don't fit in and no one truly understands me. It is hard to overcome.

[@solomonherskowitz]

WOW i keep bumping in to exactly what I need

[@jamescharpentier2291]

So...I used to take some comfort in the fact that I’ll be dead and gone soon and the worlds problems will be over for me. However, lately there’s a sense this is a fundamental misunderstanding. Not taking care of our environment or each other because we won’t be here for long seems like a grave error. As long as there’s life, ‘I’ will be here, yes? Since it’s all the same thing fundamentally, just different points of consciousness or what have you. Uh oh😮

[@jameswalton9268]

So many amazing people trying to accomplish something so beautiful. Prayers and encouragement to anyone and everyone attempting to better their life. If there is one suggestion I could make as an individual that has had some minor success with this process, don't give up. Even when if seems like it's a lost cause just realize it's already within you. It's absolutely achievable. I pray everyone realizes their true nature. The path is well worth it no matter the struggle. Angelo is an absolute gift for all of us going through this amazing journey. Good luck everyone. ❤️ 💙 💜

What about mindbody connection? Without the mind you're just bypassing

[@suze.c]

I didn't want to but with your guidance in this video I returned to emotional and shadow work. It took hours to feel it, see it, touch it, taste it and smell it. I did not expect such a big chunk of emotionally repressed material to come to the surface. Such a simple question - What is it I don't want to see? - was revealed rather quickly. The next few hours were difficult as my shadow and I got reacquainted. My heart is still racing but I feel so elated and grateful that the process took me to you! Can I go back to working with subtle perceptual filters now? I trust that this too will be revealed to me. Thank you Angelo

[@revlry51]

Appreciate this recording but would like your image to be full screen. You can accomplish this in settings, In cloud recording settings, ensure that "Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately" is enabled with Active Speaker selected as well. Thanks Angelo!

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

[@janewanes]

I layed down in bed while listening to this and started crying and rolling around because of the pain that came up in me. I looked over to the computer half way through to see if anyone was reacting and was surprised to see nobody was crying! Maybe they were too self conscious on video? Haha. I really needed to listen to this, thank you so much!!

My miserable life suddenly felt more miserable! Yup

[@ingridli1203]

how does that non existent ego do ANYTHING? what mechanism is at work here?

[@melissa48]

The topic of "ego" was very difficult and sticky for me! I finally get it and see it for what it is. I hope I can put it in a way that helps. This thing we call ego is really nothing more than a conglomeration of energy: thoughts, feelings and patterns of behavior. The problem is we mistook it for who we are. These energies are like clouds floating by in the sky, they come and they go. The problem is, we reached up into the sky and brought the clouds down to us, encapsulating ourselves in the cloud. We could no longer see it's just a cloud passing by. We got trapped in the cloud and started believing we were the cloud. It can be difficult to see thoughts as just thoughts, because we're so strongly identified as the thoughts. This thing we call ego became a mythological creature, a cloud shaped as a dragon so many of us believe we need to slay. But it doesn't exist, not in the way we think it does. We've distorted it, turned it into something it's not. Untangle from the clouds and allow them to float by and be as they are.🥰

Feeling is enough!!

[@kknkkknk1]

Your description of the density and centers in the body and bouncing between thoughts and the body was so relatable, I sighed a relief because I was a bit clueless of what just happened, although there was trust that it is ok. Love you man!

[@benkelley84]

What does the repressed material want from our attention? When my psycho/emotional pain arises i give it attention and space and understanding. For example recently i realized some emotional pain came from the realization i do not have control, i felt more peace after accepting this but am i not still within a thought paradigm? replacing a thought “i can have control” with another thought “i am not in control”? Can one move p a s t this yo-yo mind? How do i take this understanding, or any understanding that brings momentary peace, that i am not in control to consistent peace and enlightenment?

There’s no way that I can’t wake up. But WILL i wake up ?????

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

What is your instinct about the matter?

[@nobodynowhere21]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake My instinct "knows" "I" will, but I immediately catch myself going back into "seeker" mode when I think like that (or at all really). I've been trying to just meditate, pray, and read spiritual texts, but I'm letting go of my grip on "spiritual seeker" as an identity. "It" feels close, like the sound/vibrations of a large object, like when the T-Rex in Jurassic Park started shaking the cup of water with his footsteps, approaching from a "distance". It's certainly coming, God will take care of the rest. Surrender has been my greatest ally

Welcome

[@Susan-ol4ys]

I was going to say thanks for being such a welcome anchor in the storm then remembered I’m way out at sea where there are no anchorages! It helped me a lot thanks. I listened to this falling asleep, on and off through the night and this morning again and the contraction relaxed a bit, and I feel able to relax with the disturbed feelings some more today. And away from thinking there’s something ‘wrong’ and rather it’s just par for the course. Also I know you meant to put it on speaker mode, but seeing all those faces was lovely, so many in this together.
