[@johnpienta4200]

"Before you see who you are, you read the scriptures to see if you've got it right, after you see who you are, you read the scriptures to see that they've gotten it right." What a beautiful quote

[@ganazby]

Samaneri Jayasara, who runs the wonderful ‘Wisdom of the Masters’ channel, would also be an interesting interviewee. 🙏

[@christinaguimond1706]

I agree! My husband and I have been listening to Samaneri’s channel most evenings for about 3 years now. Her content is outstanding.

[@ganazby]

@@christinaguimond1706 Ditto! Powerful teachings, impeccably presented.

[@renethomas5757]

She is the best !

[@Michelle-li7fl]

Her channel has been life saving I also have been listening and re-listening to so many of the meditations.✨

[@Schneebs]

I can't agree with this enough. I found her by looking for a reading of the Gospel of Thomas and I've been listening ever since.

[@WeiWuMu]

That was absolutely amazing - the pointing, spontaneous laughter, immediacy - simple boundless experience. Loved it!🤩🫠

[@geoffreylevens9045]

Wonderful and oddly powerful. Unexpected really. When Richard did his pointing exercise I laughed out loud because when I've already "known" in a visceral way suddenly became so much more clear, deeper. Thank you both!

[@MichaelHaederle]

Thanks for providing Richard with an opportunity to share his pointing-out instructions for Headlessness. This approach goes a long way toward demystifying many of the practice instructions aspirants receive on the spiritual path.

[@buddhasdojo9368]

This was absolutely magical and sooo beautiful!! 😊🤗✨🌟🙏♥️ Thank you so much!! ♥️❤️🙏

[@iamithink]

I love Richard. Swami Sarvapriyananda of the Vedanta Society of New York would be another tremendous interview!

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

Yes!

[@jennifersantos3918]

This is such a beautiful interview. Thank you so much! I had the pleasure of meeting Richard in March at a one day workshop. He is very funny, gentle, direct, and has some sweet dance moves. It's wonderful that he was able to see his true nature at such a young age. This is certainly available to everyone, regardless of their life experiences. Just gotta be willing to look. I am so grateful for the Headless community. The Zoom meetings are wonderful, and I have met some dear friends. I attend the US Monday and Tuesday meetings. It's a very safe and supportive environment. They are very informal. Anyone can feel free to speak of their experiences. We do the experiments, and sometimes just sit in silence. I would love to meet people from SAA community in there. Thank you! 🥰

[@Lisa.Martin_AL]

Beautiful time seeing you Angelo interview dear friend Richard Lang. He would have been a great addition to the Kentucky retreat leading groups through the experiments. There are so many and they are all so fun and DIRECT. Big bow of gratitude 🙏

[@yasminel-hakim4348]

Wow! I’ve read the headless way a couple of years ago and got the pointing but listening to Richard directly is such a difference. It’s a totally different approach to see reality and in the same time there is no difference at all. Thank you both for this gorgeous interview 🙏❤️

[@jdubluffy1959]

It’s funny that two years ago I read a book on headlessness and didn’t realize anything and thought it was stupid. Now this video gave me genuine insights ☺️

[@manyandone]

The nowhere to measure from did it for me. Thank you for doing this interview❤

[@Bambica.]

Enjoying this wonderful conversation so much😊 and the balloons! 🎈

[@paulkennedy4305]

Question: How do you know the "intimacy of non separation" is lost at about 15-18 months old? And how do you know we had it initially at birth? Maybe we never had it? Thank you. Paul

[@HP-is-here]

The delight and joy in this conversation are contagious ❤

[@That_Freedom_Guy]

I did this headless way years ago. Everyone else is upside down, too! (Not usually mentioned) 🙃 Also, "drawing on the right side of the brain" is about seeing what is really there rather than our socially "fixed" view. Both books are about seeing a the truth. There is an app for this headless way.

[@jennifersantos3918]

I love the meditations on the app, especially the short ones.

[@That_Freedom_Guy]

@jennifersantos3918 Yes! The app is a good way to spread the idea. it's so interesting, simply taking notice of what has always been! Wow! 👍🏻

[@PinkyBar374]

So love this! Just so brilliant, happy souls, wee cutie pies having a laugh !

[@renko9067]

To me the headless way is a great entry point into querying the visual field with an open aperture. “Is what I see where I think my face should be?” Somehow, you got a photo of me at my last job for your thumbnail lol.

[@life.withkyle]

Ahh yeah, love this crossover 🎉

[@Tom_Torres]

love to experiment with what is already here. we are always only a hair's breathe away, even when we think we are not. what a joy .

[@nevermind5228]

Watching later part of the video while eating lunch… all of sudden felt I was feeding food into nothingness 🫥 Wild

[@zerkton2648]

My God that was so beautiful. I feel so light and playful. Just wonderful thank you all so much ❤

[@InfiniteNothing]

The glitch in the matrix is the home i'm longing for.

[@hansenmarc]

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common. -Ralph Waldo Emerson I love the Headless Way. It’s one of the first pointers that helped me be aware of the nondual experience that we’re all continuously having. That and some of Angelo’s videos on investigating the nature of sound in direct experience started breaking down the assumed boundaries of separation. 48:22 guidance through several headless way experiments 50:53 guided meditation

[@carriesewell3460]

Truly a delight ☺️ thank you

[@Weirduniverse2]

oh this one will be just too good... Thanks guys !! 😊

[@ganazby]

So happy to see Richard here.

[@eoghain5021]

We got Yang and now Lang. My life is complete

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

Lol

[@GumbyTheGreen1]

Almost! Waiting for Wang…

[@ruisoares4515]

Great interview Angelo!

[@paparingo5163]

Brilliant 👏

[@renethomas5757]

Was I the only one who saw all those balloons?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Yes

[@mythicfeminine]

Haha i saw them. Too. I think its a zoom feature 🎉

[@batmonkey]

A MacOS feature, triggered by certain gestures

[@JesseStarks]

This comment is pure high five

[@HP-is-here]

Richard’s voice is so soothing 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@maryannscanlon8655]

Mesmerizing

[@dvdmon]

I was lucky enough to attend a workshop of Richard's in March here in DC and it was great! Compared to that 2-day workshop, this was like "speed pointing" lol.

[@jennifersantos3918]

I know, right? I only did a one day one in Raleigh. Are you attending the one in September in DC?

[@dvdmon]

@@jennifersantos3918 That's the plan!

[@jennifersantos3918]

Should I or shouldn’t I? 🤔 😆 Not sure it’s good timing for me.

[@dvdmon]

@@jennifersantos3918 Is he coming to NC again as well?

[@Timxtrem1]

That was amazing, brilliant pointings and just such a joy to listen to!!!

[@tyvrymch]

Marvelous 😊

[@spocksdaughter9641]

A...this is why you need to get to the UK!

[@flashed1439]

Very powerful, love it 😊

[@HopefulTarnished]

This is amazing!!! Thank you

[@tonyhendry1953]

Brilliant 😅

[@robbaruch9005]

What a great conversation by two wonderful people on this subject of who we really really are ❤ I came across The Headless Way through Richard’s conversation with Sam Harris on his Waking Up app and had my first real shift from doing the various experiments on the Headless Way website that are quite literally direct pointings to your true nature. I realised I had this very esoteric idea of what awakening or enlightenment looked like which was preventing me from being able to see what was so obvious. When I suddenly found myself looking directly into nothing at all by doing the experiments something clicked and ideas and thoughts were suddenly freed to simply be other experiences happening in the same boundless and unruffled space. Thanks 🙏 Angelo for your great content (and superb 👌 book) and for sharing such a beautiful interview 🥳

[@mikeyfinn2]

throwing shade on koans 😂

[@christied425]

Beautiful 💚🙏🏻🤘🏼

[@danlogan7332]

So good!

[@lucasheijdeman2581]

Hi Angelo what do you make of the bardo teachings between life and rebirth from vajrayana buddhism?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Don’t know anything about them

[@josephmitchell6796]

I am the walrus! 🎶

[@josephmitchell6796]

Man besides this great interview i need an audio book in his voice immediately!

[@headexchange]

On Having No Head by Douglas Harding -- I read it for the audio book. At your service 🙂

[@trevorfurness5695]

You know Angelo, there really are some lovely English people around!

[@josephdebri8941]

Is that a surprise to you?

[@BillSikes.]

Thank you brother, I feel the same affection for our cousins across the pond 🙏😊

[@HunnyBunnyEtAl]

Freakin yes!!!!

[@InfiniteNothing]

I would like to see Angelo interviewed by Sam Harris

[@life.withkyle]

Agreed, email waking up, I've done it a couple of times to request him as a guest. I feel the more different people that request maybe they'll take note and make it happen some day

[@dethtrain]

🎈

[@HiluT]

❤just pure beauty ❤❤❤

[@Marphale]

Is Richard Lang awake? I’m 26 minutes in. Still don’t know.

[@renko9067]

I heard him in a recent video discussing what he does when he gets depressed. Make of that what you will.

[@josephdebri8941]

I've never thought so. But then, who am I to say?

[@johnnywlittle]

What’s awake….

[@BillSikes.]

​@@johnnywlittle To have awoken from the dreams of the conceptual Mind

[@BillSikes.]

​@@renko9067 Well if he really said that, he can't be

[@alfreddifeo9642]

💓🙏

[@kristensink3405]

Oh I love this

[@serenish626]

That was delightful. I am still grinning!

[@soulspiritself]

Love it! Thanks Richard and Angelo.

[@katiestibbs]

Just such a beautiful conversation full of awe and delight and humour!! Two lovely beings 💗

I would love a 5 Rhythms playtime!

Nice going Angelo. Love Richard (and Douglas of course) Headless Way pointing and the community

[@susanamos6237]

Oh my gosh, in tears.. wow so direct.

[@jdubluffy1959]

I need to watch more of these interviews!

[@susanamos6237]

I am so good looking as Angelo

[@HillaryHouseman]

His giggle ❤

[@lynnhunter4493]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Ben-mw6es]

cool!!!

[@prueevans8558]

I saw we are all only pretending to have forgotten. The taking off the masks!

[@prueevans8558]

And then really forgetting this pretence

[@vijigowri273]

Thank you for sharing Richard and Angelo. Richard has a very different approach of explaining things. The "Baby to Seer" progression was unique. Golly, I never thought of it that way!

[@iancurzon255]

😂 thanks Angelo and Richard, thos one was really fun

[@bolivarabreu9011]

I will be forever greatful to Richard Lang. His non conceptual exercises are so simple and direct, there is no way to not realize your True Nature. I had the blessing of finally meeting him in person when he came to DC in March, and his workshop was fantastic. I feel deep respect and admiration for the work he has been doing throughout the years. Thanks Angelo for this beautiful interview.

[@sophieoliver2715]

This is helpful, thanks for sharing. Enjoyed this interview too and looked him up. Turns out he’s coming to my home town in July to do a 5 day retreat. Been contemplating spending some of my savings on it, feeling a stronger call reading your words ❤

[@kas8131]

Looking forward to this one, you should do a talk with Sam Harris

[@Weirduniverse2]

100% - the fans of sam's meditation app are also huge fans of angelo. it would be an epic interview !!!

[@dannyarmstrong2066]

Such an incredible talk, thanks so much x

[@BuddyRetie]

Amazing. That's exactly what I needed today. Thank you so much for this conversation.

[@timothyammons9011]

Lose your head and find your heart beating within everyone you meet. 💗

[@rosimeridasilva5193]

Loved it!

[@alextrusk1713]

Love so see you talk to Fred Davies next

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

What happens when you try?

[@FirstPersonHood]

That's why the Jesus myth endures. Until we become as a child we will not enter THE KINGDOM OF GOD HEAVEN. LOVE GOD COMPLETELY AND LOVE/KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.

[@rajagopalramani3719]

❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@KatmaiBrownBear]

What a joy! Thank you ❤

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnniecharlton348]

Love you all. ❤

[@moreinnerpeace]

Wow, that pointing at the end was so simple yet so profound!

[@basilechatelain965]

Thank you ! It exactly is like this for me in the last few days after an initial awakening, I cannot feel my head, myself, and my field of vision seems to get bigger and bigger, like I can see and feel in 360° radius like my "head space" is an IMAX cinema screen somehow. And today talking with people (I work in retail) was really amazing like I was sharing my "head space" or the absence of it with them and I feeled so close to them and their emotions. Really feels amazing,,,

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Awesome 😎

[@simonedenouveau6365]

Dear Angelo... please do an interview with David Bingham! Please! Thank you!

[@AiRStrejf]

Wonderful

[@cheshirecat5571]

Richard's answer to the question of whether Headlessness helped him with meditation is absolutely outstanding. His answer is between 26:50 and 28:02. I did Vipassana meditation for 15 years trying to find something, anything, that pointed toward my true nature. Buddhism gave me vague answers and lists upon lists of do's and don'ts, but I was always left wondering what the point was. Douglas Harding and Richard Lang have shown me, very directly, what the point is.

[@LugalsWorld]

I was on typical skeptic podcast im wondering if you would like me to share on your podcast about my underworld experience nde ?
