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.

"Grab the stone of willingness and sink to the bottom. Be willing to go wherever this takes you." The myriad of ways you depict surrender speak volumes here. Thank you so much for the reminders!💜

After awakening I totally forgot about awakening, non duality and all this stuff. I went back into the world where I get exposed to my shadows. It's so ordinary that I can't define that "I had an awakening" hahaha

[@Buddhishgirl]

Many times on my path, when I realized that something which used to annoy me or make me react or else, didn't anymore, I thought "Wow, this is pure magic!" That's how it feels. 😊

[@nancykunik4370]

It's about everything being allowed and accepting whatever is as it is each and every moment ...

[@radley9]

It seems the more willing I become the more clarity is present and the more clarity is present the more willing I become. Thanks Angelo for helping reveal that which is only obscured.

[@gracefrazier4775]

Gratitude.

[@ingeningeningen]

Relief... yes!! The unknown transformed from the scariest til the greatest blessing. Thank you Angelo!

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Absolutely!

[@MahiFahimi]

When I realized the arising of thoughts, I can not refuge to story and narratives any more. They come and explode like a bubble. I find it uncomfortable in body! Before, the thought of something is happening that causes me feel this way, kind of helped. It is weird but sometimes I want to go back, of having somewhere to hide, something to turn to. Everything feels raw!

[@MahiFahimi]

I watched the first two minutes of video and decided to share my struggle, the rest of the video was my answer! Thanks

[@katehiggins9940]

yes nowhere to hide….. AND no one to hide ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@goych]

Yes yes yes! I’ve had many a thought of “going back” but I didn’t even choose to come here! Keep going there is gold to be found in this new way, but seek help from those with experience if you need, it can be lonely

[@jimvega4749]

Wonderful talk Angelo. Your the real deal!

[@woodcoteworkshop]

From the Kari Hohne commentary to the I Ching: "You might not recognize how you are following, although you can be certain that you are being led." These are extraordinarily powerful videos, bereft of status, dogma and jargon, and re-presenting a very ancient gnosis in a way that even a 'bear of very little brain' like me can follow! 🙏

amazing guidance,thank you so much very very helpful and clear !

I started writing a comment in another video a couple months ago that it’s like you are aware of where I am in the process. I’ll think something, have a question or notice something different and bam! You make a video about it. This is beyond coincidences. I don’t understand

[@danielmaina4942]

And to add to that, I'd have a question about a specific video or topic ..and randomly I find some old video explaining the thing in very particular detail...or other masters too! Crazy!

@@danielmaina4942 Lol be careful about taking ownership of it, it's just whats happening.I once got frustrated in a mall, coming out I just missed my bus. In my head i said "ok universe we're going to play with buses then, come on i can take it' What should have been a 20 min ride, took over an hour and four different buses!! I swear i was getting on the right bus, but they kept turning the wrong way! I try to listen more than I talk these days.🤣🤣

[@comfortchronicles6237]

All your videos are extremely helpful. This one I have listened to about 8 times over the last two days. Incredibly useful and encouraging for the particular spot things are at right now for me. The need for shadow work became suddenly apparent in the past week, this video has helped me make sense of the experience that is unfolding. Thank you so very very much.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Great to hear!

[@Greengate777]

You said the word that's in my mind... "paradox"... so matter in what direction you go, sooner or later you will hit a paradox. It is like we are living in a bubble of it... if this Universe has an edge at all, it will be a paradox of some kind.

Hey Bro, i like your shirt. What is behind the eyes?

[@Jerry_064]

Hi Angelo, I started reading your book. I have an impulse to read through it quickly because it's so fascinating, although you advise against that. You say it's better to read one section for example and take a week to integrate. What do you mean by one section? Like just a part of a chapter (a few pages)? Or should I just go with what feels right to me?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Go at the pace that feels right.

[@Jerry_064]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I will, thanks Angelo

[@goych]

Rushing through anything is usually a sign of something not yet integrated, just something to note, there’s no rush here and no finish line! Gulp

[@SabiazothPsyche]

To know, and to be aware, are both different things. Just because a creature (e.g., an animal) knows what to do to survive, that doesn't mean that such a creature is aware of that knowing.

[@tao_of_beeze]

[@gnargnargnar]

Seriously though.... where did you get that awesome shirt?

[@cavallopazzo340]

Hi Angelo. I have a question. I came up with my own way of doing self-inquiry which seems to work tremendously well, but I am also concerned that I may be unintentionally dissociating, repressing things or causing any other harm in the long run. So at first I was using it this way: Let's say I kept having memories popping up about a negative event, I would tell myself "Am I not that person who keeps on thinking about X?" and would notice my attention shifting from that thought to consciousness, which would dissolve the issue. I then used the same approach also for any negative feelings that would pop up and that worked too. I now started taking this further and let's say I'm sitting on the couch, I would say "Am I not the person who is sitting on the couch right now?" and I would notice an immediate disidentification with my body an expansion happening with a huge sense of calm. I don't think I read this anywhere, so I'm a bit concerned if maybe this is a bit too aggressive and direct as I'm totally disidentifying with myself. What do you think?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

This is great but can lead to disassociation rather than awakening if the turning toward and full immersion in and as consciousness does not occur. I discuss this in my book :) Too much Net Neti may not be so good :))

[@goych]

A good starter practice is just to notice thoughts come and go, rather than forcing anything, and also notice that some thought are charged as in they come with sensations in the body, this is taking you deeper already so you don’t just try to stop all outward activity or something, keep up the good work, your concerns are a good sign

[@cavallopazzo340]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Oh I see. So you mean if I only negate myself and I don't notice the expansion occurring after the negation it can be problematic as basically there is "nothing there" to "replace myself"? Did I understand this right? I do have your book actually. Would you know on which page approximately you mention about not overdoing the neti neti?

[@cavallopazzo340]

@@goych Thanks. Yeah, I've been doing mindfulness for a while already and it definitely helped me but self-inquiry seems to have really brought me to the next stage as my mind is so much calmer and I'm living way more moment to moment. Feels like my identity is actually gradually dissolving actually, which is a bit concerning at times, but I know is actually the goal 😀

@@cavallopazzo340 take care with it, it’s not an easy ride, although different for everyone! Finding support can really help
