About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. 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.
Disclaimer: The information presented in these videos is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychiatric or medical illness. The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment. Seek help wherever necessary which might include a hospital emergency department, a suicide helpline etc.

I’m so thankful and excited for all the people that attended. Thank you Angelo for holding the retreat and for being available to support everyone who is coming to know their true nature. Some day I want to attend. These talks are special and my heart rejoices that you include us here. 🙏🏻♥️😊

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for freely posting these gems. So helpful 🙏

Stuff of gold for me right now. Thank you, Angelo

The first 15mins really hit the spot of what type of emotion work has been significant for me. As an example, i used to be really afraid of silence/pauses in conversations. When i reconnected to the phyisical sensations i noticed that i was just avoiding feeling restlenessness and shame. Now when nothing comes to mind during a conversation I dont rush my thoughts over finding something to say, I just sit or stand in silence until something comes intuitively, or it doesnt. Not reacting and instead feeling into whats avoided is beautiful, you nailed it as per usual Angelo 🙏🗣️

[@TPot1222]

3 minutes in and your words have already hit a strong chord here. 😭 ❤ Thank you, Angelo

This ties in with one of Marcus Aurelius' wise notes to himself: "Gladly surrender yourself to Clotho: let her spin your thread into whatever web she wills."

[@LaurenEhle]

This entire talk rings so clear. You touch on so many things and every part resounds. Thank you Angelo. ❤

[@TheMLMGold]

This was very helpful in seeing the reactivity to my inner world, the fear resistance and agitation, and then sitting with it and being OK with it. That alone is dissolving much of the inner turmoil to then being able to surrender to some loving presence aka God with praise and devotion. Ramana Maharshi talks about the 2 stages of 1. inquiry and 2. surrender...and that's what I'm experiencing here. Thank you for the retreat.

I’ve been that mom before. In the grocery store. Having kids and acting that way hurts so deeply that I could not not look at it anymore. This is what ultimately led to my first awakening. Still working thru the guilt and shame. That comes up.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

I totally understand. We inherit whatever conditioning we inherit. The key is to at least be open to seeing what we’re doing and how it affects those around us. That’s the beginning. Also yes shame will arise, and anger and resentment. Those are totally ok too, just side effects of bringing these patterns into consciousness. The work of awareness is key Nice work!

[@breillard]

Thought provoking. I would want to hold space for someone who is having a physical experience during retreat. Why? Part of it is what I do as an energy practitioner. Not to intercede or correct but to let someone know they’re supported especially with unwinding and kundalini. Why do they need support? Reflecting. Childhood experiences as the 5th child and not always heard or supported. Thanks Angelo.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

I understand. I would simply ask, “Who are you without the helper identity?” This is what we come to retreat to investigate.”

[@breillard]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Who am I without this identity? This question broke through a dam of white water flowing tears. Surprising to me. More reflection. Thanks Angelo. I, too am thankful to have been able to join the retreat virtually. Saving up to join the next in person retreat!!

[@katiehodak6321]

⁠​⁠@@SimplyAlwaysAwakebeautiful reply ❤ it is along lines of what I tried to share with husband today- lights went out just before start of church - he felt compelled to tell them he thought he heard why it happened (breaker)… I was enjoying the dark, and asked him about helper identity, he hesitated but decided he must inform them- did so, then was told that lights were turned off intentionally. I asked him later about it- and he insisted it was necessary to “help” because if that was the cause- people needed to know…. Help? Edit to add… duh, In that moment, I was identified with MY helper identity… just let my husband be himself?

"What you take yourself to be is sus" The "imposter sus" meme is hilariously apt in this context 🤣 Much thanks for the retreat content 🙏

[@shawnewaltonify]

If asked what I think a therapist does during successful psychotherapy to make it easier to go to an inner place and easier to experience it in a way that transmutes it, I would say that they will judge your ego. After learning not to react, the true value of the practitioner is learning to judge the ego without hate. Hate may be the universal variable. Even if I am wrong about hate, I don't think I can be wrong about the necessity for the judgement of the ego to come from something other than the ego (separate from the ego). Hate seems to be a natural symptom of disease.

Yes, I'm in the process of letting go of the beliefs about myself. It is beautiful. And yeah, brutal at times. And so liberating. Question, you speak of nondual realization as the end of violence... ie how can we hurt what we realize we are not separate from? How do you square this with eating dairy or eggs, when there is so much inherent violence in bringing those products to market? Or have you given up eating those products?

[@injoyinmyself2018]

Chop wood, awakening, chop wood. Violence, awakening, violence. Eat dairy eggs, awakening, eat eggs dairy.

Is the mother who leads her child off the cart in a way where the child doesn’t even know manipulative? Our body/minds have many things programmed in us. Some people use these to manipulate others, especially in the dating world. Isn’t this mother doing the same thing? Of course she isn’t using it to harm the child in this instance, but what if it isn’t authentic? What if her true purpose was to manipulate her child for selfish reasons? Because she doesn’t want to deal with the possibility of the child getting hurt, causing more chaos in her life than a child already brings.

[@NoremakSeggob]

The thing is: why am I Being a person who just doesn't get it, trying so hard to listen and straining to break through to the other side? Why is Being wearing this mask? A seeker's nature is to seek. If it knew, it would cease to be what it is. If all Knew, what would it even mean to be human? I say, let the people seek; it is like letting the river flow beneath the ship of all higher forms.

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

But no one is doing anything, who’s doing the work? This is where I get caught up. Probably one of many places. 6:40 Everything is just happening of itself right, at least that’s what my understanding is. There’s no me doing anything. It’s all just happening and I’m just along for the ride. I’ve had moments of very clear recognition of that mind and body identification initiate very quickly.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Good question. I’ll answer in a video

[@katehiggins9940]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwakehi yes angelo, i would love to hear your thoughts regarding the ability to correct or change behavior. i am dating someone who is a non dual speaker. he did something that bothered me and i expressed how i felt and said perhaps you will remember this next time and be able to respond differently. WELL……. he expresses that that is out of his control WHICH i do understand on what we might say the absolute level. however, its not how we live. i’m raising children. much of the experience of raising them is helping them to learn from their actions in order to respond in a different manner. i can “see” both sides of this apparent dilemma. it’s like so clear that there is no separation and yet it feels conflicting with regard to change and potential . hope my question is clear. i feel it’s like the root of confusion. although i also see confusion is not really happening because there is no separate identity for it to happen to. and its more a felt sense of non separation than just intellectual, but still feels off somehow. somehow this is crippling me for lack of a MUCH better way of putting it lol i’d appreciate any feedback ❤ thank you very much.

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

@@katehiggins9940 oh no, sorry Kate, let me on this. Egos sometimes use non duality to make bad behavior, even mean spirited CRAP acceptable. I’m calling bulls**I on this one. My friend Paul Hedderman often shares a story when he was first into the nondual path and his girlfriend said “Hey Paul, can you do the dishes please” He jokingly but seriously said “There’s no Paul here” She said: “DO THE FU**king dishes Paul!” Do let this guy walk all over you claiming it’s NonDuality. It doesn’t sound like it to me. NonDuality in my experience is very humble, kind and loving.

[@snakedogman]

Yeah this sounds like some kind fo manipulative spiritual bypassing. Not taking any responsibility for actions or (lack of) changes because "it's out of your control". Yes, on some level it is, but as Kate says herself, that's not how we live and relate in day to day life. If we are doing this spirituality stuff for any reason, surely it is to get closer to others, more vulnerable, more giving, more loving, not to dismiss our loved ones' requests with claiming we have no control over our own actions.

[@katehiggins9940]

@@snakedogman i don’t know how to reply to two people at once on you tube threads! 🤪🤪🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ but to both responders, yes this feels like the crux of it all for me. i’ve always intuited this deeper stage of awakening to authenticity true nature is being lit up via relationship. it was the catalyst for the first kundalini “thing” -sorry im just out of words at this point - and continues to be. it’s like where does no self meet fully authentic self…. where does no responsibility meet full responsibility…. it feels like i must be the potential or ability or heck emptiness for all possibility to arrive in, no? i’m so exhausted. my body feels like 10,000 pounds of gravity pushing down on me. after a few years of bliss and lightness. well on and off but this intensity and downward feeling of pressure is new and seems to be related to this relationship. dang my words are messy right now. forgive me! i know nothing. nothing. sometimes i can’t tell if im awake or asleep! i feel im being as honest as i can and not trying to avoid or distract. i sit with it all, as it all, but dang its getting heavier and heavier. oh well….. 🤷‍♀️ kids have to be picked up from school…. thanks to everyone. i feel i know nothing but that we are all in it together and completely alone. oh the paradox. love to all. ❤️❤️❤️
