How to Experience Unbound Consciousness Through Inquiry Now 

Just want to express my gratitude. This ressonated like crazy with me! A thought came up “How would i even confirm an awakening!?” and then it hit, through another thought, then everything was just dropped and i laughed for like an hour. Angelo you’re the goat!

Please keep posting. This is so helpful. So grateful. ❤

Thanks for guiding us home. 🎯♥😶🙏☮

Being curious without becoming analytical by keeping the aperture open, very helpful. TY

This video is absolutely sensational. Bravo! I fairly recently had what seemed like a minor shift but from a small seed it continues to grow. And this video has added another dimension that deepens things further. I’ll try to explain in case it is useful for anybody else. When enquiring into the I Am, my mind was initially going gangbusters trying to logic it out. Which I guess is par for the course to start with. But having exhausted that, a few months ago, the I Am dropped into place with a non-conceptual ‘click’. After this had happened once through grace, I could then initiate it on demand through meditative enquiry. That may not sound entirely non-dual because the ‘click’ I reference, requires a tiny bit of effort/doing for the grok noticing of something that is always already there, to instantaneously happen. But for me, this is the current felt-sense phenomenology of how the obscuring clouds of mind identification are cleared for periods through I Am inquiry. The best (but rather hokey) metaphor I can come up with, is that when I’m self-identified, I am like a Scalextric car on a track that has come out of its track slot. The wheels are running and the car still moves forward but in a haphazard, jerky and sometimes alarming fashion. The ‘click’ gently nudges the car (me) into the track slot which puts it onto an effortless line. Having watched this video, when back in the slot and then enquiring into What Is The Next Thought? becomes flow and really has power. Hope that makes some sort of sense! First time I’ve tried to put any of this sort of stuff into words and it rams home to me the warnings from the real teachers, that language can’t ever capture any of this beyond a conceptual approximation which can never do it justice.

Love the long content videos!!

This was so simple yet was bar none the most effective guided inquiry I’ve ever come across. The pointings are very clear, and there’s just the right amount of explanation, and there’s no obnoxious spiritual affectation that gets in the way of hearing the pointings in the clearest and simplest way possible. I think you are the spiritual content creator I’ve been looking for. Thank you so so much for this video; I will surely be sticking around.

Thank you, so much, for putting out daily videos. Your videos remind me every day of who I am. So grateful 💚

I’m so happy at this video! You know from the last double barrel that I was “struggling” with noticing thoughts. It seems quite comical, now. You were speaking of this exact inquiry, but I really did not grasp it. This is quite fun. Neutrality sounds like a dream. Thank you!

You seem to be making more or longer content lately, thank you for your dedication to help us. Also your teachings calls to me more and more, I hope it's a good sign 😆 but I'll try not to have expectations... thanks again

In my experience, my analytic mind helped me until it started to be a hindrance. The way you describe it at the beginning of the video I think I have been awakening in that way, but at some point, the analysis keeps me in the mind. I have always found it so difficult to inquire without going in the mind to analyze and understand, etc. Also this week, something happened which made me see so clearly your idea of the house of mirrors. These thoughts and reflections of thoughts, and reflections of reflections OMG, it is just endless 😳 when you use mind to try and get out of that your doomed 😅 surrender, letting go, surrender 🙏

This is great. I've been avoiding inquiry because it may seem complicated to the mind and maybe because I'm a bit lazy but after finally trying it out it feels intriguing and even fun. I've caught myself constantly pausing the video and inquiring into my thoughts, why they arise and where do they arise from and I feel like I may be doing a sort of meditation + inquiry from now on. Thank you!

Thank you Angelo. It was such a great experience to be in the online retreat and have this daily structure and the live talks and meditations. I haven't had a "shift" yet but at the very least I felt a great sense of peace during those 4.5 days.

40 minutes in what was i thinking about 😂😂 thanks brother

Thank you Angelo. Your transmission is very powerful. I notice sometimes when I listen you speak I can enter that space that feels fluid, where thoughts, images of myself seem to move and change with no distance, but then I can have entire days where things feel very enclosed and heavy. I get frustrated because it feels like the openness I felt before was just a delusion. I kinda laugh at this sometimes when it seems like I've come out of the confusion. When that happens is it best to put away all distractions and just sit? My tendency is to find distractions

"The binding belt enclosing me. A sample in a jar."

Thanks so much Angelo!

Great talk, and wow even greater title. Turning it into a question to inquire about

This resonates, thank you ❤️

It's also like a defrag on the fly. Those beliefs, once identified, become quicker to recognize each time and as they expose their higher values, get replaced and restructured along the way, so it all becomes quite automatic. It may not be the best way to go for everyone at this time but getting our beliefs integrated with self evidence is the only way to get there.

Very good

So much gratitude that I found you on my path. ❤

Always helpfull

So valuable, thank you

Do you think Samadhi is a prerequisite for inquiry? In my personal opinion - in order for inquiry to be effective - you must first be able to reach some level of samadhi/absorption. If you cannot concentrate the mind, inquiry will just turn into a session of wandering around in your internal world while thinking you are actually practicing.

really appreciate this video🙏🏽

Angelo if I made a meditative sort of spacious, mysterious soundtrack for you would you use it in one of the videos? Would be fun

I am the content of my consciousness, is this a thought my mind keeps telling itself? This is my inquiry

I guess synchronicity works cause 2-3 days ago, I was wondering: is it possible that we are awake and we don't know it? Like the woman who had lost her head.

Hi Angelo. What Adyashanti book did you recommend at retreat? I can’t remember the title

🙏🙏🙏

I would be super grateful for some instructions/advice on HOW to get into contact with someone to do a one-on-one with? I feel like that is something that would be valuable to experience since my life circumstances make this kind of practice a very isolated and solitary one. Is there payment involved? Is there a requirement to be somewhere or can it be done on a video call? Where can one find people that want to aid in awakening and are the most likely to be reliable? Thanks for the video as always!

Thank you for you sharing. I will come out here to listen to your videos and promise to watch whatever, whichever video of yours that comes in my feed and this was one of them today. I am very grateful for ALL the circumstances and conditions in my life EXACTLY as they are today. You are part of it

Hey Angelo, this might be a bit of an odd request, but could you make a video maybe specifically targeted to students? I struggle with the question if it is possible to realize these truths while engaged in conceptual/intellectual work. Sometimes it makes me sad, because I really like what I am doing and most of the time it brings me great joy, but on the other side I had a few non-dual glimpses and there is a deep longing for the unravelling process. Are these two things incompatible? I would love a video on that, maybe also with practical advice while one does intellectual problem solving or is engaged with conceptual material. Thank you for your work!

Any advice on crazy axe-murderers in the Shining?

❤☕️

😮😮😊

What is the next thought? But a question?
