AWAKE: It's YOUR Turn (A Documentary About Ordinary People and Extraordinary Transformation) 

Have you had an awakening? Tell us here under this comment:

May 2017 I was unemployed, I was diagnosed with 3 different mental health issues in a downwards spiral, I was seeing therapists for my mental well being and for my career. My career guide told me on the first day "Pick up an hobby, we'll find a job but first find a way to occupy your daily life". I chose meditation. For the next few months I would relentlessly go to the same location in a local park and meditate until I couldn't. Hours increased and at one point I started bringing food so I could prolong my 4 hours into 6 hours. One day whilst sitting there. A sudden moment that I only ascribed "download" happened. A jolt straight down my spine and a sudden flash. Everything revealed and so subtle. I was so profoundly moved, I had disassociation issues with objects walking home. Trees, grass and gravel on the ground felt and seemed as me as my finger did. I reached home and started crying so deeply like I've never done before. This was and still is with me every single day. I have now re-educated myself. I got a job, I have a girlfriend and is officially mentally healthy again. Meditation saved my life.

My daughter Beth blessed me with a vision of her passing. When she left her body she shot up with a beautiful smile and light shining on her face.

When it’s your turn to awaken, you’ll definitely know. There is no mistaking it, even if you have no idea about the awakening process, things will start happening to your body. For me I had a kundalini awakening in 2012. I was 15 and I had no clue what was happening to me. I started feeling peoples energy so deeply within myself and it took me years to figure out that it wasn’t my energy that I was feeling, it was the people around me. And I became highly intuitive. I had no way of explaining or giving proof about how I knew something, I just knew it. And then the randomness of the flow of my reality started bringing me information to help me expand. And one day I randomly came across a video called Samadhi. I had a strong energetic pull to that video and little did I know in that moment that I was about to discover the greatest thing ever ; my true self. That video guided me into an out of body experience where I experienced myself as EVERYTHING. it showed me that there’s only one consciousness/awareness and I am that 💛 I experienced myself as water, wind, planets, plants, trees, insects, animals and people. I suddenly became the whole ocean of consciousness instead of just being a tiny fractal piece of consciousness. It was the most incredible discovery of my life 💛 that experience changed me in ways that I never knew were possible. I see everyone and everything as a part of myself and it naturally brings forth so much peace, compassion and unconditional love for all that is 💛 I see reality so deeply. I acknowledge things in a much deeper way. I communicate with all of nature and even water. Before I drink water, I give love and gratitude to it. I see great spirit within all things 💛 and I absolutely adore all life 🫶 I love you and I hope you have a wonderful day 🫶

When you can’t stand the endless suffering anymore, you begin to wake…your real life begins…most painful yet fascinating experience in my life…fully alive…

A pattern I notice happening -- mind gets distracted around a certain section of a video, as though some specific pointer is too dangerous to focus on. I'll notice myself zoning out at the same time over and over

Literally the first line has confirmed for me that I’m on the right path. I said to my wife a few months ago: “I feel like I’m at the edge of a precipice contemplating whether or not to jump off. If I do, I feel like i’ll find myself in an ocean of love”. That’s been the recurring theme as I’ve started questioning and moving away from Orthodox Christianity. This is amazing!

I went through a huge Awakening in 1996'. It lasted for 6 months. I had tons and tons and tons of anxiety my entire life before this awakening! I was doing all kinds of spiritual experiences from reading peoples minds to healing people to talking to buddhist monks from laos in English even through they spoke Laos. It was the most amazing experience in my life. I had been meditating daily for 9 years or so to this point... There's a lot more to it but it has been a continual growth in spiritual abilities. I went though another huge shift about 4 years ago...

Hey, it's so funny-I experienced the exact same thing, and you're the third person I've heard who went through it. In my childhood, (around 6 years old) an existential question plagued me. While looking at the sky, I wondered, "What would happen if there had never been anything?" No verbal answer, but I experienced a sense of infinity in that moment. I was one with the sky, and I disappeared into the universe. Now, I come to realize that this vastness and peaceful "nothing" is our profound essence.

"A frozen lake...the lake wasn't frozen anymore...whatever needed to arise came up" so beautiful, so relatable

This is my offering to the algorithm gods 🙏

to any believed ‘truth’ that creates stress, pair it with the question: “Is it true?” Allowing this question to sink into the Heart.

Beautiful recollections into the beginning of awakening. Many of these are somewhat recognizable. Now these memories seemed to mostly have vanished.I still jump into former identities yet they now never last. My life is very zen like. At least 80 percent of my thoughts have simply vanished. My only so called difficulty is that now since I am retired I lose total track of time and am so happy with the most simple things I can even forget to pay my bills! Lol I don’t actually think about any of this which I did when there was a shift. This life is ridiculously simple. I do my art, exercise and do chores! That’s it! Lol

The dots suddenly connect to reveal that I do not exist in the way i thought There is absolutely nothing that is not this...here...now. There is no separation. Much love for all

I have been repeating this since last night trying to m3morize every sentence. I know Noone on this video, but have been seeking awareness for years without feeling I have arrived. My quest this weekend, through this video is to make some progress. The young woman in the burgundy sweater is drawing me in! Astounding comments. Thankyou all.

Mine happened three weeks ago while awake, broad daylight, and walking. I felt I was shown information as to everything all at once. I could feel the feelings of people around me, I could feel love coming out of the birds flying around. I was out in nature and had been meditating and seeking happiness and peace. I have been researching everything from quantum physics to shamanism. I lost my son in Afghanistan and studied NDEs. After asking for a sign I was on the right path this happened. And later that night/morning at 3:00 AM met my Guardian Angel... before sleep told him I loved him for watching over me and thanked him then whispered Angels need to know they are loved too... I can't explain or describe in words what I saw or experienced...no way too...all I can tell you is it's the best feeling ever...It's pure Love...I love you All ❤

Wow! Such a a beautiful and wholeheartedly crafted documentary. Congrats to Alma, Angelo, Erik, Josh & Violet! Hope this helps everyone: 00:00 AWAKE: It's your turn - Part 1 00:05 Intro 01:30 Quiet desperation (...and all kind of glimpses "before" awakening) 07:50 Addressing the discontent ("intentional seeking" through different vias) 12:54 The call (moments of diving into really deep experiences) 17:56 Recognition (opening to the awakening "process" from several perspectives) 25:35 Identity (so... who am I?) 27:38 Inquiry (ways to transitioning "into reality") 35:45 Surrender (the veil falls through letting go) 41:38 The event (attempting to describe the undescribable...) 58:08 Epilogue + Credits

I let the words flow over me and into me, so peaceful and relaxed, nothing to be done, no effort to be made, nowhere to go…

In his book, Awake: Now It’s Your Turn, Angelo mentions that a book titled The Three Pillar of Zen helped him understand Awakening. In particular Angelo mentions a chapter about how the individuals of a group each became enlightened. Angelo also mentions this Three Pillars book in the documentary. Here is an example from that section of The Three Pillars of Zen: Page 215 - a Japanese man is riding the train with his wife and reading a much older book about Zen. The older book was written circa 1688 by Son-o, a Zen monk. The following sentence describes the realization that comes with awakening. “I came to realize that mind is no other than mountains and rivers and the great wide earth, the Sun and the Moon and the stars.”

"that the unconcious could become concious through deliberate exploration". I loved hearing that. I often feel as if I'm turning inside out. and not just me. lately it seems as if everything is beginning to turn...just a litle bit...inside out.

Fascinating…I really enjoyed it. I love hearing about awakening - I relive my own story when others share theirs. You are all so nice, it’s such a blessing to be part of this community✨🦋🐇❤

Yes. It lasted 18 months. It seemed so simple. I thought everyone must know and I had just found out. It was so close; it had always been. Everything flowed. I was content and needed nothing. All was provided. No effort. No technique. Then after 18 months-contraction. Still in inquiry about that.

It's morning here and I've just finished rewatching this again, alone this time. There is so much fullness in this moment, I don't want to go anywhere but here. I bow to the liquid transmission that moves through this film.

🥰🥰🥰 Listened to this while I was washing the exterior windows at work this morning. What is normally a task I don’t look forward to was turned into a lovely “moment” of listening as each of you spoke and feeling into what was being expressed. The window washing happened and soaking up all of the energy that was being transmitted happened and feeling open to the energy happened. Thank you all for sharing what seems like were some very vulnerable moments in your lives. ❤

Seeing the infinite variety in how this process plays out for each and all deepens the wonder of the gift of Life. One wants to speak, and realizes that glorious impossibility, and laughs and weeps. When close friends suffer, I know I cannot 'say' anything. The history of 'not hearing' what's being told for decades gives a growing stillness. Readiness is everything at some point - a point deep within each of us because we all know it when it's here. Thankfully there are people who intuit that another is near it and have the appropriate gesture for the flow. Bless your work, Angelo - and bless all of you who have opened to it all, to the wonder of it all, and to all who wonder from afar in hope or despair. 💐

I can't wait to spiritually bypass by sending this to all my family members in th3 hopes that they wake up with me because I'm too scared to feel my feels right now. 😂😂😂😂😂

Beautiful pure and unconditional! (Still not finished) (never finished) (comment finished)

Grateful for sharing all your hearts so openly and with such love. I am in awe. As I was watching this several insights appeared and cracked everything open with such new clarity and understanding about my previous awareness experiences. Thank you and congrats on the documentary!

It leaves me with this: What if I didn't need anything different to be whole?

Lovely to see and feel authenticity. And get to share in it for those moments. An unspoken invitation to join. ❤‍🔥

Thank you all, Thanks for sharing your experiences of wisdom of truth. May this love, grace,peace and understanding happen to all us sleeping beings asap.

Why am I crying? I had a huge knot in my stomach the whole time watching this, not sure why. Thank you. I'm sure I'll watch again & not be so distracted with my bodily sensations 🤦

I am beyond grateful for this video and for everyone in it. Thank you for relating your experiences so beautifully and with such eloquence. Thank you so much, this is such a wonderful service you all give ❤

The whole time I was watching this I kept hearing weird noises clearly coming from the hallway where is store my mountain bicycle in my apartment. Still, I was not sure what exactly could cause those sounds. Strangely enough, just around at what I thought was a random moment in the film, suddenly the back tire of the said bicycle just loudly explodes and completely defaltes. I pause the video to check that yep, that is really what just happened completely on its own at 10.30 in the evening (sorry neighbors). Then, I sit back on my sofa and click continue to watch the rest of the film and immediately the end credits start rolling. Well, definitely something exploded and deflated, outwardly and inwardly. Thats for sure.

Thank god and beyond for you guys.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you for making this, sharing yourselves and this aliveness now - the ineffable. So in love and grateful forever 💗. Endless peace to all

This is amazing! I’m so grateful for this documentary, for everyone in it, and everyone behind the scenes. Utterly brilliant!

what a transmitting and powerful documentary. The sets, the visual elements between the scenes - absolutely beautiful. Will rewatch it many times. Thank you all for this incredible work. ❤️🙏

So many saying “beautiful” - what more is there to say! This is absolutely perfect for someone at the beginning of the search to stumble onto. May it resonate deeply in the hearts of many ❤

loved watching this, beautiful - thank you...."the collective human delusion - the world of mind identification (mind confusion & disorientation) - ultimately is a sort of stable or at least agreed upon form of disassociation"

All the visuals are so beautiful ❤ Thank you to each and everyone of you for allowing us a peak into a piece of your stories ❤️🙏

Very impressive documentary

Becoming AWAKE has a Multitude of Levels. It's NOT just ONE thing or NO thingness...

My man over here maxing out healer class ❤ April 30th, 2022 - Your videos helped me understand what was happening to me, it is one of the greatest gifts I have received ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Yes, Thanks Josh! ❤ So glad you are still here🙏

the music is perfect...well done guys

Simply beautiful! ❤ Thanks 🙏 to all for sharing your experiences and insight into what we all are when we’re no longer identified with who we thought we were. So generous and validating and liberating 🥳

Thank You for one of the most moving, heartfelt transmissions of the profoundly simple awareness that I am asleep to my true nature.💕

May the 4th. Well we now know Angelo is a Star Wars fan 😉 This will be good!!

Very well done. 🙏🏾🔥

So full of gratitude to have watched this beautiful work of HEart. All 5 of you offered inspiration, love and grace. Thank You. ❤

Beautiful! Thank you Angelo, Violet, Josh, Alma and Erik for sharing this pure authenticity. It is a joy to watch.

Beautiful. Thank you for putting this out there. Put me to tears several times, especially the sections about surrender.

Beautiful people ❤

So much gratitude and love. 🙏❤️ Thank you. 🙏♥️🌷🌈

Stunning creation. Thank you to everyone who produced this.

Thank you Josh, Angelo, Violet, Alma (and guy I have not met yet!) for creating this!!! ❤

That was powerful! Thank You! 🙏 Thank You! 🙏 Thank You! 🙏 Love The All, The All Of You 💜🫶🪷💫😊

Deeply felt. You are all so beautiful!! ♥️🌸🌼

Amazing. Thank you so much. Felt the transmission!

Thank you Angelo and all involved, for sharing, pointing, again, this intimate journey of opening en surrendering to what is. Real. Much love.

thank you ❤ thank you ❤ thank you ❤

I experienced the oneness with all there is manifested and yet to be manifested. I was it, it was me. The I Am. It has been 30 yrs. Every time I want to experience that grain of sand or that leaf floating in the air, that star I see at night… anything I can think of, I am it immediately. All are conscious of their purpose of existence. I avoid people because of the immense distortions their minds causes, yet I love them so deeply. Beautiful experiences shared on this video! Thank you so much ❤

Well spoken all ❗️

So so beautiful! I had tears on my face several times

Wow!!! No words past that one. ❤🙏🏻

Bravo, Angelo. What wonderful video this is. Now I'm chomping at the bit to watch part 2. BTW I've just started my second reading of you book. It helped me immensely. Thank you for what you do. :-Don P.S. I came across a spot on RU-vid where I could join your membership. Now I can't find it again. Anybody here know where to look? Thanks. Found it! In the list of videos down the right hand sid of this page is one titled "Winners!!" I clicked on that, and when I hit play, a membership info/join page popped up.

Thank you, Angelo - that was/is, perfectly, beautifully, peacefully... 'home' 💗❤💓

Truly remarkable. Thank you for creating a space for infinite possibilities. So much Love here 💚🌻🪶

That was beautiful, Loved it ❤(I also loved it that Angelo ends the documentary whit the word 'love'). Violets story really spoke to my heart especially. Thank you so much ❤. I wonder, since Josh mentoined that nodbody around him noticed a shift - Did people around you noticed anything? Something different or a change, after the awakening?

I love it. Thanks for doing this. Truly beautiful. Can’t wait for part 2. ❤

So awesomely beautiful……Angelo Violet Alma Josh Erik thank you so much for your sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✨🌟✨🌟✨❤❤❤🕊

Best thing I've ever watched, AMAZING

Apart from that ijust dont know who am i anymore,having also trouble with words !thank you for shearing such a intimate experiences, trust to thiese total not knowingness -is the feeling i get watching your film.thank you!

When I’m really in a gratitude mindset, it’s overwhelming - it’s like the veil drops, and I begin perceiving the world through the lens of love….I wouldn’t even be able to begin to answer because it’s everything, it really is. It’s like it’s suddenly so blindingly obvious that what we have intellectually knowledge of but often don’t KNOW know is simple fact; EVERYTHING is miraculous. It sounds corny and like a pat answer but it’s genuinely true…sometimes I switch unexpectedly and see it all and I feel…I guess joy, and awe. A daft example but I remember making a coffee and going to sit outside in the sun, it’s a few flights of stairs and I spilled the coffee as soon as I sat down. I have adhd and a lot of trauma and I’m both clumsy and normally have parts that automatically jump in to attack me, either nastily or just in sheer frustration because it’s constant haha…(laugh and, not or, cry is the only way. When I remember - I need to more often atm) it’s been a long journey of recovery, first from alcoholism and addiction which was a coping mechanism for the dissociated stuff. Anyway I digress as usual. This time it was different. My first thought was how glad I was I had more coffee upstairs. Then I thought and a kettle! And it was like a domino effect…electricity, and the biggie - WATER. The things we take for granted; we can just walk to a tap (faucet) and have clean water…I’ll never forget seeing a woman on a documentary in an African country who was overjoyed because a well had been built in the nearest village and she only had to walk an hour there and an hour back where previously it was several hours out of every day just to get as much as she could carry, and that was for her whole family. Till the next day. I don’t have a tv, maybe it impacted me more, but still. It was so humbling and it’s always stayed with me. So - it just kept going. And I looked down at my legs and thought ‘and I have LEGS…I can walk, and I can RUN up the stairs in 10 seconds flat and just make another coffee!’ It then started extending to the plants around me, the air, the people I loved…and I felt so blessed and genuinely happy. When I don’t appreciate things, I feel bad. And I remember in early recovery sharing that gratitude was probably the one practice that made all the difference. I’m writing this as a reminder to myself to choose to focus on this because I’m currently in a really difficult place and I’m focusing on the loss etc. and what’s wrong…the protector parts are kicking in bog style. But I have choice. And I’m forever grateful to Gabby for TUHYB and my introduction to ACIM ❤🙏 I can’t quite imagine what it’d be like without that… I and I recently had an NDE in the hospital (the second I’ve had…sometimes I think my soul was high or something when it signed up for this lifetime hehe. ‘From the VERY START? Let’s gooo! 20 lifetimes in one , woohoo!’ PLOP…oh, hang on… 😂) No. Really. I’m so grateful for what my Tibetan tantric Buddhism guru called ‘this precious human life’. I’ve had many brushes with death and I’m SO grateful I’ve survived…now I’m ready and willing to start thriving and using my experience to help others. As Gabby says I am a servant of something f**king unstoppable. When I remember that something lights up in me… Thank you all for just being here ❤

Gratitude.

Simply lovely🙏🏼

Excellent work people.

Finally, a movie trailer that doesn’t give away the whole movie!…or does it 🤔

❤❤❤ very clear and gentle. Normal folk. Yes.

Beautiful

Just be Yourself love to yourself everyone everywhere 🤗💜😇

I am incredibly thankful for this film. I am humbled when I say I to have gone through the awakening process and find not to many have. The process for me has been indeed the hero jouney Joseph Campbell speaks about. The event for me is written in the Bible, I was resurrected and reborn in one happening moment, which I call the event . The lightning occurred in my brain from the east to the west, the veil was torn in my brain and something within me took flight. At that moment I didn't understand one bit what was happening and why I was living out the scritures in such a way . The information to explain this came in synchronicity for the next 3 years. It was indeed a process that started long before the event. When I sat and listened to the people who were interviewed I was thankful immediately because I could have been interviewed for this film because I went through this process of becoming. this is a path for all but not all will take it. This makes it even more sacred to me. Blessings to all♡

Gratitude and appreciation for the love and work that has gone into this. It's beautiful. You have a great team with you ✨⭕🤍

Bravo! Absolutely amazing! Thank you

Wow. Thank you for making this. I felt something shift/move inside. Not sure what, but I don't really need to know. Namaste peeps

"Other kids and adults were annoyed by me." That hit me to the core. This man walked my path before me. I'm only in the beginning of the video and I am curious and excited to see how this unfolds. Thank you dearly Thank you Thank YOU 💖 Sharing this video is groundbreaking for so many who take the time to fully immerse themselves in to it and with it😊

What a beautiful video. So pure, simple, insightful and loving in it's content , but also visually hypnotic and amazing. Thank you to all for sharing these unique, yet familiar manifestations and expressions of Awakening to Oneness and Love 💙🙏❤️
