As a student of Gangaji's teachings for over 20 years and a newcomer to Angelo, I must say this conversation is the perfect spiritual Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
I've seen many interviews of awakened beings by interviewers who are not awakened or not as awakened as one interviewing. These interviews your doing Angelo are so incredibly fresh because it's obvious Awareness is speaking to Awareness. Thank you, endless gratitude and blessings 💖
The discussion toward the end of the interview about meeting our greatest fear - whatever it is - is what I call the Original Wound (OW). The most common ones are abandonment, unworthiness, a sense of being wrong, inadequate, etc. Our unique original wound is clearly visible in the breath and very fabric of our whole life story and it is also where our greatest gifts lie. The original wound represents the moment in time where we believed that we successfully separated from God/Source and the seemingly endless nightmare of illusion began. The reason it is vitally important to meet our original wounds is that our ability to truly be of divine service will be crippled if we don't. Angelo, I just want to say that I've been a huge fan of Gangaji for about a decade and I've never seen anyone "dance" with her in an interview quite so consciously as you did 🌹⚡👏
Many years ago when I “woke up” out of the spiritual tradition I had been immersed in for many years, Gangaji was there for me with her clarity, precision and simplicity. What a difference she made! Thank you Gangaji ! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
🥰🥰🥰 What a beautiful conversation. I love how it flowed so naturally. She has such a lovely and soft and caring voice. Thank you for asking the questions that you asked, Angelo. This was such a joy to listen to. 🙏💕
I love Gangaji, and I didn’t know she was also from Mississippi 😂 as a former Mississippian, I can say it is a beautiful place, but there are many hurdles to awakening.
This is an incredibly beautiful interview! Gangaji was my first teacher 30 years ago and I still sit in heart-opened silence and joy in her presence. What a gift to see you both together. Thank you so very much for this offering!
Profound! I stopped the video a couple of times to drop into what was being spoken. 5 minutes in front of a mirror and "What do I want?" all very powerful!
Thank you Angelo! The coming together of all the masters and teachers is powerful and very much welcomed. Awesome conversation with beautiful Gangaji and wonderful you. ❤
I just began listening to Gangaji's story and you're right, the BURDEN we carry as a child when we feel something is wrong and we carry it for a very long time after childhood, at least I did. 🙏
So beautifully put [15:02] you lose it all, lose your gender, lose your nationality, lose your ranking, and what's here... what's here that is always here? I love it. 🙏 ...and wow! She mentioned Mill Valley. I grew up in Mill Valley, and probably skated 🛹 by her acupuncture practice dozens of times as a child. 🏡
47:19 ❤Very powerful. Wow. I have heard of Gangaji, but have never listened to her speak. Her transmission is very powerful ❤Thank you Angelo. This was wonderful.
Thank you so much Ganga Ji for your love and generosity 🙏❤️🙏 Thank you so much Angelo for this beautiful interview... So kind of you to bring Ganga Ji to speak to all of us... Loved the 'eye gazing' part... Beautiful....🙏🌸🏵️🙏
Thank you Angelo and Gangaji. Loved this interview! The discussion about the difficulty of communicating / inviting surrender was wonderfully done. I have a feeling people will experience shifts listening to this.
Fantastic thank you.. have read Gangajji’s books and followed her for years, and hours and hours of papajji too, including others as well… I remember being about 5 years old sitting digging in my sandpit and felt so desperately miserable… in my language of now it was “is this fucking it?” later on sitting on my window sill at age 6 looking out watching a man go by walking his dog, and just felt this is what life is..? All my life I had been depressed and lost and confused… but had various glimpses..
So wonderful to see beloved Gangaji. I must also say that the picture of Ganges behaind Gangaji is so magnetic, so beautiful and mysterious. I must have the same picture, it gives me this feeling of mystery I love.
Thanks for exposing me to so many wonderful people and their unique ways of expressing. Appreciate you both. These conversations are so beautiful and wholesome man. My thoughts try to taint it by attempting to grasp ‘it’ and end up over complicating everything but I guess that’s just part of the seeking. The thing that seems to be most sticky here is doubt. It seems to have more pull than other types of thoughts. Most often in the form of questioning whether I’m inquiring the right way into who I am. I’ve heard you say there’s really no wrong way to do this process, and yet the conditioning has more pull than the ability to surrender the doubt. Im somewhere between feeling inadequate and having faith that this will clarify on its own terms
I sat with this beautiful soul in sept 2011. I woke up in October. In the weeks between my mind stopped. I was strangely quiet. Her transmission field is huge. Her presence genuinely still. Thanks for this wonderful interview. Sharing!
Gangaji is a blessing to this planet. This means that you are as well. Will you listen? Some people (in this life) are not (yet) called. If anything of this speaks to you, you ARE called NOW. Blessings & Namaste.
What a sweet interview! Love Gangaji, and her sweetness does always radiate. First time I've seen Angelo quite this awestruck and excited to talk with someone.
You can be assured there’s no monster under the bed, and truly believe there’s no monster under the bed, but you won’t find peace til you take a look. How good is that?! Beautiful, thank you for this conversation Angelo 🙏🏼
OMG!!! Absolutely no words. The transmission of what was just offered struck in a way that I’ve never experienced. YOU ARE THAT WHICH YOU SEEK. I have heard this said a million times in a million different ways, but never felt the profundity, until now. 🙏
A very pleasant interview. It should be stated that there really is no such thing as "transmission". If Ramana's name is going to be brought up, then we have to look at his actual teachings. For him, you are already the Self. This can't be "transmitted" or given. Therefore, Papaji wasn't "handing down" something he "got" from Ramana. In Avaita Vedanta, it's a done deal that the Self is already present and complete. What Papaji's Neo Advaita did however was to ignore that work still has to be done. The practices Ramana stressed were to eradicate the vasanas that occluded, or covered the Self (they weren't to become something that you weren't already) So, looking at the history of Neo Advaita, it ignored the neccesity of these practices which left a lot of Papaji people just "thinking" they were Self realized. It is good news! That you're already "It!" But just grasping that intellectually, or agreeing with it or believing it, isn't Self realization. I would suggest people interested in this general subject to take a deep dive with Ramana's teachings, and they'll see that indeed there is work to be done, you're not yet literally "free".
Transmission indeed happens. Sure you’re the Self, everyone is the Self, but fat lot of good that does you to know it if you haven’t realized it. So how does one realize it? Well one good way is to spend time interacting with someone who has. There are many reasons this works. Why do you think so many people gathered around Ramana, Papaji, Buddha, etc etc etc? That isn’t to say that the role of inquiry is not just as important, bc it definitely is. Transmission is quite like Tolle describes in that placing a flaming log by another flaming log it tends to catch on fire. At some point it burns on its own.
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake It can "feel" like transmission, but such wording implies lack, and that someone special has something you don't, and that they can "give" it to you (ending your lack). "Resonance" would be a better word. When you put one ringing tuning fork next to a still tuning fork, the still one will start to ring. Nothing has been "added" to the still tuning fork, it just starts to ring because of resonance. It's good to hang around people that have actually realized the Self (if you can find them!) but I do think it's important to bust the myth of some kind of "line of transmission" or special "lineage" from Ramana (to Papaji, to Mooji or whomever etc. etc.). "Jnana is given neither from outside nor from another person." - Ramana Maharshi All a teacher can do is to help remove obscurations covering what is already there in full. So, it may just be semantics, but I think clearing it up helps people to not put spiritual teachers on a pedestal, with the notion that they have a magic elixir they can "give" you (that you don't already have in full)
what a beautiful sharing! you both were glowing. i was moved deeply quite a few times….. this interview is bathed in presence……. newness…… love……. thank u…..❤️
Absolutey a great talk. And again with the mirror ... when I was a little girl I was SO affraid. - and especially of looking in the mirror at night because I was affraid not to see anyone there.... oh how beautifull life is
This was truly special to be able to watch you both have this conversation with each other. I was laughing at times, crying at others, just incredible!! Thank you both so much!
I really like the stillness she conveys, It’s obvious she speaks from that place of unmoving emptiness. It so resonates right now. I love this conversation, Thank you
Huge. Love to Both Of You. Without the inquiry, without the questions... it don't get far. However, the really valuable questions which we've always handed others to answer, we must trust ourself to answer, and there's the rub, the struggle, the years...🙏🌌
