Double Barrel Non-Duality with Pam

[@Schneebs]

So good to see Pam after all this time since the interview!

[@rationalmystic5]

These 2 hr talks are vitamins for the soul. Love alma and josh. Keep up the awesome work doc. Deep gratitude.

[@DenizSasal]

I've already recognized the autonomous nature of body, emotions, sensations, and thoughts for a few months. Apparently, my sense of identity was hiding in attention or rather the ability to move attention. When Alma asked "Who has the ability to move attention?", I was like oh no! That's also not me? Don't take that away from "me"! Now I am in this sort of lost world where ego is desperately trying to find something to hold on to. But it is easily observable now because it's clear that it is doing it in the realm of thoughts. Resting in awareness has become so much easier with significantly fewer thought interruptions. Thanks Alma.

So comforting to hear that the alarms and lists and thinking “is this dementia” is a part of it 😅 ❤

[@Sashas-mom]

1:36:33 amazing how this unfolds. Thank everyone who participated. So very supportive.

[@JustDontMove111]

Wonderful. Thankyou to everyone 🙏

[@ami156]

I like how the number of people seem to be multiplying I would like this trend to continue.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Agree

[@Jensterkc]

I hear you, Jeff! Thanks for describing what you are going thru.

[@yasminel-hakim4348]

you’re all so awesomely helpful pointers 🙏❤️

[@LeftTheMatrix]

42:00-44:00 a corollary is that I find it really difficult to come up w small talk cuz so much of that human interaction is based on summarizing and kinda complaining about life. I notice that people who want the superficial banter of this type are frustrated w “me”; I have literally lost the memory of last week or even yesterday, but still get stuff done (w a calendar) - it’s not NOW so my brain has already moved on to just being w the person and maybe enjoying their voice or hair or the sunshine or whatever. And this being used to be so competitive w trying to look intelligent 🤓 and now it’s more like just 🤗

[@kimtaylor4480]

Yay! I was just thinking about Pam the other day and wondered how she was doing? So happy to see her again. ❤️

[@alfreddifeo9642]

Three in one plus one gets the job done. May the unknown keep shining thru your beings because it is beautiful.

[@boredchubbypanda]

Fell into a hazy dream state listening to this. Someone put a spear in my belly and instead of resisting I just pushed forward and gave in...I felt such a lightness after passing the pain threshold. Can't explain it but it was definitely intense...like dissolving into oneness. It was so brief but relaxing and I woke up to the video around 1:26:00 where they were discussing fear barrier and surrender. I think I was being guided through the discussion. I know better not to make a narrative out of it to replay later but I long to feel how it must be on the other side of fear...to die in each moment and move with the unknown.

[@aelien]

Loved it❤ All of it. So much love and clarity.

[@stevenrosen5955]

What a great team! The wisdom .....both deep and wide.

[@Sashas-mom]

Yay! It’s Pam ❤ 😊 This is bound to be good. Thank you in advance!

[@bobbymray]

this is more interesting than football

[@n-xsta]

Right?! 😂

[@jayantithomson913]

😊 Was able to clear out this 20 year old problem of falling into instanteous long sleep states.( began when connected deeply in a Hindu religion.) Pam appreciated how u slowly explained resistance and shadow clearly and Alma i have just moved attention and - instant awareness. Thanks for these videos - they are valuable . 😂

This may not be novel or insightful, but something that came to me about Jeff (sp?) while watching: On several of the episodes I've heard him refer to his non-stop mind (I'm sure many of us can relate!). It sounds important to who he is, and a pivotal belief, specifically that it is not just an observation about what is happening, but about what must be. And I hear almost a sense of pride in being inundated by the thoughts, I suspect because it's associated with an intelligence that itself must be a source of pride. Almost a humble brag, to be brainy enough that the brain refuses to quieten. I've wrangled with similar issues. The ego has its claws here. It sounds like the "Jeff identity" is one that has a constant thoughtstream as a defining characteristic. That comes with all of the familiarity that he described, and thus all of the difficulty and resistance in giving up that familiarity, plus the artificial association between thoughtstream and intelligence, and then the attachment to intelligence. I think I'm suggesting several tiers of investigation: what if it's not true that the thoughts are constant? Look at the evidence that they're not ever-present. That there was a time (even if it was the distant past) when there weren't constant thoughts, that there aren't constant thoughts during sleep, and a man on the path like Jeff is must surely believe that there may come a time without the constant thoughts, even if it's not right now (except, of course, when it comes, it is right now). Right down to the miniscule space between the stream of thoughts, which isn't really a stream since the thoughts are discrete packages. And whatever their frequency, what if they're optional to carry? What if the character can continue without them? Or if they remain tied to the character, what if Presence can go on without identifying with the character and its thoughts? And finally, this will be tightly held, but what if we have to give up the "positives", the identification with intelligence itself, in order to be release the hold of the thoughtstream? "Who would I be without my thoughts?" "Who would I be without the companionship of my mental chatter?" "Would I still exist in the silence?" "If I exist in the silence, then the thoughtstream is optional. If I don't exist in the silence, then existence is optional?" "Who would I be if I left the thoughts with the identity, and ceased identifying with anything?" "Who would I be if I watched the thoughts like I watch everything else about this character's experiences?" I also like the exercise of trying to anticipate the next thought, or even better, I think might have been Angelo who once posed the question: What is the experience of [me] right this instant? Opening to this takes me right to a non-judgemental, open-focused witnessing, a state not as discriminating between visual appearances, auditory appearances, mental appearances. Alma had a good observation too, that along with identifying with the thoughtstream comes a concomitant belief that this thoughtstream itself is "wrong". I think that the conceptualisation that seekers have (well, this seeker did anyway) is that we should aspire to thoughtlessness, to "no mind", and that any thoughts are a failure. In that light, constant thoughts are constant failure... yikes! Here's the thing... I don't know that my thoughts are even "mine", let alone "me". They occur to me, they appear on my television set, but I'm not the afternoon re-runs or the evening news or the morning cartoons. I see a world "outside", I hear it, I smell it, yet I am not those experiences, I simply become aware of them. Why are thoughts different? Are they different? Awakening as a goal is not to achieve a state of "no seeing" or "no hearing", why would it be about "no thinking"?

[@nicbarth3838]

dealing with a similar issue it is a difficult conditioning to undo since unlike being racist it's accepted to not only make fun of someone for when they are slow to grasp something but also prop people up for that kind of undirectible trait. Its racism but for our minds pretty sad really, so many people put their worth in traits that cant be controlled me too, and it sucks its why we cannot well... maybe not you but for me.. we cannot gently remind others of their identification to a particular self referential thought without snidely lambasting that person for their egocentricity, ego hating its own reflection. anyways your comment made me evaluate these questions again, validation is my central difficulty in dis-identifying for a long period heck I'm so good at it I don't even need anyone for that my mind will just do it for me hehe.

[@shawnewaltonify]

YES, YES, YES.

[@MrYamaha413]

Worst burden in my opinion is all kind of FEAR /worries, phobias, anxieties, fear from death to panic attacks/ 😨 does awaken person experience FEAR ?? 🤔

[@ronjenks4133]

Yes, but it's not a concern. No fear of fear.

[@tim2269]

As a fellow Fool 58:08 resonate 100%. I can confirm the feelings that arise when I don’t engage.Thank you for the further insight.

[@Sashas-mom]

Perfection!

[@joolslorien3936]

1:05:00 Interesting perspective that when feeling resistance the body isn’t saying no, the body is saying yes to a belief like “I can’t handle this”

[@Susan-ol4ys]

“procrastination was a resistance to the anticipatory expected thought of what was coming” can anyone elaborate on this a bit please

[@christinaforras]

Interpretation thru my little lens is bringing an example of a to-do list. Procrastination - I’m going to write it on the list, ruminate on the list, reprioritize the list… death of procrastination - the thing is happening/unfolding. Not getting caught in thinking about it. Flowing.

[@keesblokorg]

Amazing video's Angelo!! I have recently lost a perceptial filter of the body (bubble popped (energy body?) after I had my nondual shift in 2022 and my spiritual awakening in 2016. Your video's have helped me and some of my friends A LOT this past year!! Thanks so much. I also send your videos to clients of mine :) Maybe one question: How would you define Liberation?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Liberation from suffering, liberation from delusive hindrance. These are two pretty good definitions methinks

[@keesblokorg]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake thanks 💪🙏

[@shawnewaltonify]

Kate, you definitely expressed fear of making no progress over an entire year of practicing this, and as you know, this means that you can meditate on or surrender to or be curious and playful about not "feeling any different," your words, in the upcoming year and even upcoming years. That is it.

[@Mochara_aido]

Where can I watch Pam's interview? I'd like to hear more from her.
