When You Lose Your Way in the Awakening Process (The One Pointed Approach)

[@jasonsaxon2309]

You said “untainted” and now I can’t stop laughing thinking about you and ZDogg and the “Taint Episode”. 😂

[@johnpienta4200]

Thats hilarious, and also how I discovered Angelo. Taint the front taint the back - the Taint is the middle path.

[@Maart-je]

That's so beautiful! "Your true nature is asking what is my true nature? That's not a thought. It is a complete absorption. Absorption is the answer" Thank you (-: ♾💜

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Exactly!

Thanks for not giving up on us!!

You're so welcome!

The force is strong in this episode 😬

[@HopefulTarnished]

The job of the thought-feeling system is singular - to get and hold and keep your attention, your divine power, and keep it away from what you really are.

[@stillpoint44]

Thank you.

[@WasguckstdudieURlan]

Omg thank you so much for this video. I kind of gave up on meditation because some teachers would say „you meditate for no purpose at all“ and my reaction was „well if it has no goal and no purpose then why do (or not do) it?“ I think you mentioned at some point that some messages are really just for specific points on the path. Framing meditation as a way to realize the randomness of thoughts and disidentifying actually gives me a goal/purpose. I had that happen during prolonged meditation where all the thoughts were kind of just randomly generated words and it kind of freaked me out. But you know how it goes, I got reidentified again 😂 Much love ❤

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Very welcome!

This was a very beautiful one Angelo very well said. That early transition in retreat is going from "unconscious incompetence" to "conscious incompetence" My model for it is this: every day is like running a marathon, were usually blasting music on our system to get through the day. Then we sit for retreat and we get up to run the marathon and we come to find that actually were hitting hundreds of hurdles. They are everywhere. And we can say: what the hell, where did all these hurdles come from? As we relax more into things, (or focus more into things) we come to see that actually, the hurdles were there all along. We just were so zoned into something else that we didn't see them. We can come to see the hurdles are not obstacles, they can be a game. We can come to see that we are not separate from the hurdles. We can come to see the hurdles aren't even there. And many others... Often, but not always in that order. And boy if it happens for you out of that order... You're probably going to have real difficulty in "ordinary life". This was my path.

Hi Angelo. Firstly I want to thank you for writing your book. It helped me have my first foretaste of Awakening about 6 months ago. It was an amazing realization and I cannot get it out of my mind. I seemingly avoided Awakening for a long while after, though I couldn't say why. But suffering has brought me to a point where I am now returning to self inquiry and meditation with the resolution of full liberation even if it takes decades to achieve. I'm currently rereading the book and using the Koan of Mu to reapproach Awakening. It seems that by repeating Mu to myself over and over, thoughts are suspended and I become much more present. I will continue this practice and keep following my intuition on these practices. Just wanted to extend my gratitude. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

[@pamelaschifano3234]

Thank you so much Angelo! Sending you lots of love! ❤

[@peedublyou]

strong pointing. Thank you.

[@anthony7416]

Thank you 🙏

[@JohnDoeBand1]

Mu is my gateway. I am taking the sword and brandishing it with me all times. I'll see you on the otherside

[@pawelkapica5363]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate this as it's something I am dealing with right now.

[@mariobeer5446]

I feel like spiritual seeking starts at a very intellectual level, because that is how all seeking is, and all we really know how to do. For me, there came a point where the "real" seeking began, not by trying to understand through the mind, but by trying to just be with the sensations and the experience of being alive. At times it feels like this process goes on its own, I guess that's what happens when you start getting curious about the rabbit hole.

[@grants1954]

11:46 The beauty of feeling the emotion, becoming choked and then moving on because that was simply a thought. I wept. Thank you Dr Angelo. Just here for the propofol. That's perhaps the inside joke. Stumbling across this, not this moment which is now in the past and shall unfold into the future, took a few kilos of weight out of my backpack. Blessings then much love.

[@dirkkievits4669]

Going on a rereat for the first time in Belgium for 12 days,i dont look forward to but i going to use this question ‘ wo is mu’, thank you Angelo.

[@dirkkievits4669]

Sorry ‘ what is mu’

[@thevixenxiii]

This was me for a long time … I drink a lot to cope during this period I’m so glad to be back to some level of normalcy

Welcome back 😊

[@YTistooannoying]

I kind of sort of need help. I never quite intended on going on this journey. I began meditating because of chronic pain and anxiety. Now, I'm not going to say I know nothing of awakening. I've had moments but since I've just been being. Two years ago, my anxiety and pain was so much that I was constantly meditating. And then one day, everything in my head went silent. I felt like I was completely blank. I felt I had absolutely no connection to anything except the people I love (which is everyone) I feel like I completely emptied myself out and I have sort of had to rebuild. I've taken on a sort of stoic sensibility. I feel so so much more grounded, but lost too. I don't know what's happening exactly. I have always been told that separation is an illusion and I see it. But I am just really bewildered. I just feel like I've been put here in this life, body and I don't know what the heck!! On the upside, my anxious thoughts? I can just ignore them for what they are. But now what do I do. I feel like I have begun solving a puzzle but i don't know how Edit: I can't reply for some reason. I do not want a teacher. I didn't really consent to this. I don't want to do this. I NEED HELP PLEASE, but all my reaching out gets ignored or deleted. I have tears pouring down my face and I don't even know why!!!!

[@1111Here]

You dont need to know anything in fact its better you know nothing.

[@alfreddifeo9642]

1 Reply this video again and again until you realize your comments/story they are all thoughts. 2 Find some who can guide you so that this video becomes clear. Angelo or someone or something he recommends. You got this don,t give up.

[@YTistooannoying]

​@@alfreddifeo9642 I know my what my thoughts are. I know I can ignore them. I just is this it? Because it's nothing. I don't want a teacher or a community. I prefer my hermit ways. The answer is nothing and sorry I know it goes against "thoughts " but I have spent time staring down the void and needless to say I am enraged. Is it normal to be effing pissed about it all? That THIS complete bs is being awake? It's just as stupid as I realized it was when I was 8. I'm really angry....

[@YTistooannoying]

​@@alfreddifeo9642my comment to you got deleted and Im not sure why. I expressed that I know I am not my thoughts. I don't want a community or teacher. I don't want to do this. I haven't exactly chosen this I mean most people do it intentionally. I am very angry and no one offers me anything but nonsense I am aware of. If this comment gets deleted it will harm me so... yeah

[@YTistooannoying]

​​@@1111Here i don't even want to participate and yet here I am.... don't tell me it's better to know nothing when I didn't even try to know something!!! In fact this awakening is an illusion too. Look beyond that and then tell me how not absolutely pissed you are

Hey man, really appreciate your pointings - almost always wakes me back up 😂 Question of the back of your mention of Christ in a recent short (purely one of curiosity)… do you think that Christ was fully enlightened? Sometimes I wonder if he was stuck in the God Mind phase. What are your thoughts?

[@Prof.PProudlove]

I just blurted my coffee all over my keyboard! Hahaha thanks man! 😂

[@katehiggins9940]

that is pretty good!!!!

[@solid_snek]

"I" might have arrived to a quite profound realization. If the non dual is the default state of all being, then would it not logically follow that perceived duality is the only method of the one whole to experience itself? Admittedly, this is where my headmeat hardware fails to compute further.

[@dakotahashcat12]

Did you try getting beyond mental making up of words and meanings and experiencing a human voice as pure sound? Have you had an experience of losing the ability to understand what another person is saying?

[@PSOLDE]

I know you don't really concern on other people, I'm curious if you'll comment your perspective from a wider glance (not specifying the person) on Nargis current ways. It seems as if her ego mind has grabbed hold of a grand expansion she had. Or she's turned into one Massive mirror to show us all who view her our hidden stuff Will you speak on what you receive from her sharings?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

I trust people to make their own decisions. If you’ve read my book you can apply all the points I make about pitfalls of teachers and students etc. Its a valuable toolset.

[@henriqueyoh]

can one wake up while taking psychiatric medication (mood stabilizer, antipsychotic)?

[@presatito]

Yes, but those meds will likely suppress an awakening.

[@timothybarnett6161]

Yes.

[@davidereno1871]

@presatito In which way?

[@timothybarnett6161]

@@henriqueyoh you can’t “suppress” something that is essentially already the case. You can continue to avoid it or stop avoiding it. To stop you start with the intention to do so. In a way it’s like golf. You play the ball where it lies.

[@HopefulTarnished]

If you're able to ask if you can be aware, then you are already aware

Beautiful session 😌 This one out me in a deep medetive state. It might be your soothing voice, calm, safe. It starts with a tingeling sensation on the top of my head that spreads down my face. Then my ”third eye” tingles and after that everything stops and I just fall strait into my body. No thoughts, nothing, its just like a wave of energy 🪷Best time of the day with you. 🤗
