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.

Back in the day of such TV's I loved staring at the static channels.

[@fabienlg]

I want to say yay for the 42 T-Shirt :-)

This clip still cracks up! Years later!! You’re hilarious, now let me get all serious , and fucken listen! It’s so awesomely funny.

"Fidelity with the living truth of what IS." I love that! So beautifully put.

[@ernestweber5207]

I concur that 42 is the answer to life, the Universe and everything.

[@damianhardy2965]

Thank you. The force is strong with the pointing at the end of this video 🙏 I'm sitting with "I'm sad and I don't know why" - good practice for "just stay here" even when it's not comfortable. This pointing really helped. I was (am?)the kid with the antenna 😆

[@cps_Zen_Run]

One could select an unused channel. Turning down the brightness, the erratic light specks are the microwave background remnants of the Big Bang.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

When I learned about that I thought, "No wonder I used to stare at the static as a kid." I loved it

[@mobiustrip1400]

This is great! Thank you myself reflection, MWA😘. I love the t-shirt reference to Douglas Adams. The answer to life, the universe and everything!

yeah, the good old days 😂 love the analogy to tv. Wonderful video and so helpful and reassuring confirmation as always.

[@lauracenter3799]

So funny about the old tv-yeah Dad would always try to get us standing there in throes kinds of positions so he could watch the game. Right on bro - you are in so many way. As Bob Dylan use to say ‘right on target and so direct.’ We’re grateful to your archery done with such mastery.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

You remember the good ol days 😂

[@gantonia99]

Awesome metaphor

[@JaysonT1]

There are a lot of big words in this to be using on a Tuesday, Angelo. You should really wait till the weekend. I think you broke my noodle.

[@iainthebruce]

WOW! That was so powerful. The overwhelming urge to confirm this, to manifest 'other' to somehow validate this, is so palpable at first. Was delighted to finally recognise that true knowing is the knowing itself, always here, prior to the manifesting of a superfluous point of reference or separate witness. Thank you for this Angelo, may i say that your careful pointing and selfless guidance is beyond any conceivable measure of value and my gratitude flows freely with these tears of joy. I feel strangely unworthy but no longer clear on who exactly that unworthy one is and for some reason this is wildly hilarious.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

I’m glad it’s been helpful. The great news is I can only point out what’s already in you :)

[@kristensink3405]

I feel like one of the things that gives me the sense that I’m an individual (that there is a “me” here) is the fact or at least the seeming experience of having repetitive and consistent things in my life. Like if I think, “tomorrow I have to go to work early” and then sure enough the next morning I’m up and heading into the same job I go to daily…it certainly seems that many thoughts that come up end up being true. Granted, lots don’t end up being true as well. I guess it’s confusing because there are definitely thoughts that really do seem to refer to me. Like if I notice my stomach has gotten upset the last 4x I’ve eaten eggs and I think, “I probably should stay away from eggs because my stomach seems sensitive to them”. Am I supposed to not believe that thought? Is it not “me” and “my body” that’s experiencing this? And I hear that we’re creating a story with our minds out of things that happen, but even if I could go for 2 days straight without a single thought, wouldn’t I still feel a sense of time passing and of one thing moving into the next and if I went to work both days…even without formulating an actual thought about it, wouldn’t I still be aware of continuity and repetition…like the feeling of “I’ve been here before”?

[@cps_Zen_Run]

Kristen, it’s not so much about stopping thoughts, as it is, not attaching to them. Thoughts will flow, but the Ego says,” I did that.” Then starts telling stories.

[@kadent9615]

The brain is always going to do what it does but when you realize you aren't your brain you can change your relationship and attachment to what the brain does.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Exactly ... the thought that says don't eat reggs is waaay behind. The bodymind adjusts far earlier than the reflective mind says, "I did that!" And you are right the mind conveniently overlooks when it expects something that doesn't happen but takes creit when it does. It also backward extrapolates and changes it's preference in retrospect. This is being studied and proven again and again

[@bethleen7]

Powerful pointing Sir 🙏🏼

[@jaytruther1908]

Just wanted to say I love the backgrounds you use and the t shirts you wear 😃

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Oh thank you!

[@lynbrowne931]

I did a quick memory scan of those old TV days, compared to today where I flick thru multiple channels, searching for something better. Ahh the answer was 42 😉

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

It always is... in fact it was the answer before anyone invented numbers

[@lysdexic9129]

one of the greatest inventions ever, the TV remote control, never need to get up to change the volume of channel ever again :)

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

old people used to call it the "Clicker" bc they were initially not IR but used audible clicks to communicate to the TV :0

This was awesome. Very good one. Thanks!

Oh, exactly the layers, emptying, chaos, emptyness , triggers, emotions, and more and more there is emptyness. And this too, feels strange, like, where can i please feel safe in between ? And then, the Surrender. Maybe its Okay To have this experience, maybe its deliberating. And then suddenly. White noise and white air, ether, pure nothing and everything

Eric, I have recently discovered your awesome channel. Top shelf 👌... Is "Silence" IT!? The big elephant in the room, the obvious, been here all along, true nature of _This_ ? This is pure speculation, the concept of silence is thought but this vast spaciousness is empty of sound and light. Just some rhetorical navel gazing... ✨🙃

Marlena being possessed was the best thing that happened in Days of Our Lives, it's fascinating, most forms of entertainment usually consist of two opposing forces in a state of conflict, the static(snow) vs the clear image.

Marlena!!

[@injoyinmyself2018]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake let me not get started on Stefano Dimera I think he died 11 times, the characters and the narratives are fascinating in terms of symbolic representation of deep archetypes hidden in the psyche , why run these simulations.

[@nat998]

@@birgit8996 you know Birgit, in all seriousness, I never knew just how much of a separate self was bound by thought. I've come to the realization that everything I know is a thought. Everything I believe is a thought. Every time I write something down it's a thought. Every time I open my mouth to say something profoundly stupid 💭... Silence is truth. All else is blah blah stories. I can see this. When I was experiencing my weekend existential crisis, the feeling I bought into, the feeling of dread and doubt was all thought. There was nothing to believe. There was just sensation happening in the body and it was nothing. I'm starting to finally get you! 🙏✨💛😊 You said it straight from the get go... It is only a thought. It's all just thoughts. Thoughts referring to an "I" which is the thought itself. Oh its so hard to describe what I mean because I'm using thoughts.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

whooooooooo

[@nat998]

One more thingy. I know who I am. Its who I have always been. I exist and am aware of all things. What I am, without thoughts, is still aware and existing. It's here when I'm awake. It here when I speak, write... When I'm silent. I am always here. Things come and go within my knowing awareness. 👁️ I am the seeing. But these are all metaphors and concepts. I sense my being. I feel it. it has no identity and isn't a thing.

[@marinalynn5509]

I feel very strange recently. While meditating (and often during the daily chores) and focusing “in” I feel nauseated and light headed , very disoriented. Often it comes with a sense of fear and losing the ground. Is it something common you experience in the process of awakening?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Yes it is. Keep at it. Can back off on occasion if you get too disoriented of courser. But keep going through those identity barriers. Notice even dizzy, disoriented is still a subtle perception in those moments :)

I was thinking about the exact same thing today. Realize the Angelo you see is also in the TV. The "real" angelo isn't there its actually me you and everything yet invisible. :0 It's both amazing and awful :,)

[@nat998]

Good insight, let's take it further... Ever notice how your projecting mind doesn't appear in your dreaming, only the tv screen of that projection. Your true source projecting consciousness is non-locatable within dream reality? We think the mind is located within this TV screen of reality, but what if (thought experiment) _This_ is the screen/display/mirror...and the projector is not in it. Is the external reality "real" or is it a projection from... The body mind is part of the holograph/"VR head set" decoding an immersive reality. I've noticed some glitches in the matrix. 😃

[@ami156]

@@nat998 there is no difference between dreaming and external reality in terms of ultimate reality. They differ in their quality like different channels of the TV.

feel it. Inquire into any beliefs associated with it. What are your fears about it, what beliefs are there about what you need to do about it etc

Any thought is a doubt because in that thought moment I couldn’t be further from what I am

When somebody said " I giving up, I practiced for 20years " you said " good it worked for me" .At the same time you say we should practice .Which one it is practice or no practice?

Depends on the situation. Everything is conditions based.

I had a kundalini awakening or bipolar episode depends who ask and I felt love/ oneness. I practice to feel that love again...should I stop? I cant practice with no intetion its impossible.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

@@djimmy92 I generally don’t recommend practice to chase an experience. It’s more like addressing your deepest yearning and/or to end your suffering.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

@@djimmy92 however basic or natural meditation, if that’s available to you can be valuable for anyone.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

@@djimmy92 short of having an unshakable drive to awaken to your true nature, I think the most bang for your back across the board is emotion work. Everyone benefits from that and it often clarifies our internal experience such that our deeper promptings are revealed.
