I attended the Kentucky retreat .Just watched your interview with Rick Misener. Watching brought back so many powerful emotions, feelings, memories from that incredible day with the inside circle. Thank you and Rick for your service.
I really appreciate this interview with Rick, and it has validated and inspired how I offer support. It allows for transparency and vulnerability, which will only further the connection. We're all in this together! Thank you❤🙏
This made me very emotional. For some reason it reminded me of when Jesus said "He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." If that's not love I don't know what is.
I forgot who I am Told it was not safe To be authentic Best to be silent Cover it up I forgot I became a pretender And now With a quiet mind I feel. I cry. I honour. In the safety That is here. Now. Thank you Angelo and Rick 🩵🩵
Shedding and healing that prison persona took years here, even after having a first awakening in a cell near the end of my term. I relate so much to him and his story. Much love and respect sir!
Yay Rick!! Love being a hermit too!! You’re the best. Thank you💜Yes Angelo living in the depth, in life not the mind. Beautiful conversation. You guys rock.
I love " anger is not an emotion but a reaction to an emotion ". It's funny how outside of the mind you can feel into the mystery so directly. With emotions I see or interpret a little differently than him but what super cool is there isn't a way things are so the mind can interpret with labels and give meanings to the mystery in it's own way and while I might say it a little differently than he would at the same time I totally agree with him on that statement 😂. I love it.
Awesome interview, disarming and direct, no bulls**t, Rick’s pointing to truth and love of all humanity went straight to the heart. Tears and laughter; laughter and tears. I also thought the point Angelo added about the balance of vulnerability and being able to look after (was it warrior?) yourself was a good one. I look forward to seeing the doco. Thank you both Angelo and Rick 🙏 ❤️
The documentary is really good, recommended! I have a request, could you make a playlist of all your on-stage interviews/interactions from live retreats? They are gold!
Sitting down with someone like Rick to be able to openly share what I am currently suffering sound so cathartic. As it is, I have no one to talk to about suffering except myself, and he doesn't like me and I don't like him! I don't want to be me or anyone anymore. I don't want anything but to just rest in peace. Can't wait to sleep forever.
I suppose you're looking for sympathy, not advice, but I have a question for you- "can you meet?" Can you meet, with attention, the he that hates me where he is at? Same as the gents discussed in the video, only within.
I had tons of unimaginable trauma as a child . I healed when I had a realization one day that healing is an idea I have . 🤯 It’s a paradox so please don’t get offended. Yes there’s trauma and realizing healing is just an idea actually “ healed “ everything ❤
I love. Saying, “I love you but not her or him” is not love. When “ I love you” becomes “I love” awakening has happened. This is my own experience. And that is what I hear Rick saying. One starting place can be, “Love people by not hating them.”
I don't think I am clinically BPD, but I do experience rapid shifts from one end of a spectrum to another. I can be optimistic and appreciative of life for a few hours, days, or weeks, and then somewhat out of the blue I can't see any value or purpose in existing. I hate that I am unstable and always will be. I hate the lack of internal consistency. I hate that I can want something and want its opposite at the same time. And I hate that my lack of self worth affacts my family as well. I just want to isolate and be left alone much of the time, often for months on end without contact. When my family tries to reach out to me, it only makes me feel worse about myself. In light of all that, I recommend that you just give your brother space. I'm sure he knows you love him, but there may not be anything you can do for him except to accept him as he is. Don't let him see that you want him to change and that his misery makes you sad as well. Knowing his troubles trouble you might just add to the weight he feels burdened by. I am also wondering if Bi-polar Disorder is even a disorder at all. It almost seems like it could just be a symptom of waking up. It seems to me that the flip-flop of loosening some of our mental chains and then feeling them restricting us anew could be described as bi-polar disorder. I feel crazy myself even though I'm fairly confident that I'm sane by societal standards. And we all have mental illness of some sort, at least as long as we listen to and believe what our minds tell us. In any case, good luck. I wish both you and your brother well. Remember, no amount of suffering on your part will alleviate any suffering on his part, so let go of suffering over his suffering as much as you can.
Just an hour before I saw this I had a short interaction with a neighbor who was very frustrated, restless, deluded and angry. We had a terrorist knife attack not far from where we live yesterday and he's very confused and thinks Germany should get rid of all immigrants to prevent stuff like this ... I normally listen to him and other neighbors tell me all kinds of things and I feel their suffering with them but today I didn't stay with him to listen to his rant. I told him he has no idea what he's talking about and then went into my appartment to just sit and feel the emotions. It's hard to stay with someone when you see deep confusion and anger in their eyes and you feel what they feel. I know there isn't really a strategy I can apply in a situation like this; I just have to keep feeling what's arising and stay authentic but does anyone have any suggestions on how to respond to a person that's very deluded and angry? Edit: I want to clarify my comment a little bit after reading the responses. I don't think I was clear enough in my original comment about the persons behavior. This person wasn't just angry (I'm okay with experiencing anger) but in his rant he was encouraging violence to deal with the issue of mass immigration. When someone is angry or frustrated about a situation I can be with them, listen to them, hold space for them but what if a person becomes violent - even if just verbally? I don't have much experience with that, so that's why I asked for suggestions. Last Update: I met my neighbor again today and he apologized immediately before I could even say anything. He said he was out of his mind yesterday and didn't know what he was saying or doing. He also said that he wants to distance himself from what he's said yesterday and that it was complete non-sense. After that we had a normal conversation like usual. Life is mysterious.
Sorry I do not have any suggestions to give you but I know how you feel. I have a close family member who is deeply confussed and so so angry it is hard to watch. We meet for coffee and diner sometimes and if the conversation stays light its ok we have a laugh but when the rant starts I have to excuse myself as I can not listen to it. I feel so sorry for her I am the only one of our immediate family who talks to her and we are a big family. It is a sad situation for sure.
i’m curious about why you conclude that he is deluded? I hear that he’s angry and confused but those seem like understandable human reactions to a tragedy.
I’m not saying I agree or disagree with him about the complex issue of mass immigration but to think of someone as deluded because of a difference of opinion sounds painful and heavy. I know because I still often experience this pain and heaviness when I encounter people that i think are wrong. And here’s the thing: I have switched sides on several issues over the years, but in both cases I have felt 100% sure that I was right and the other side was crazy or misinformed or delusional. And I still do it! Even though previously I held the opposite view with the same conviction.
Where can I watch "The Work"? I am from Germany and the last time I checked I couldn't find any platform that streams it here in Germany. Can I buy it somewhere instead?
@@YannickHeym Ich hab dich, kann hier leider keine links schicken aber wenn du "dogwoof on demand" googelst kommt eine Website wo man den Film ausleihen kann
@@YannickHeym Hey I was looking for it too a while ago, and found you can buy or rent it on the website of "dogwoof on demand", I can't link it here but it should come up if you just google that
@@YannickHeym Hey had the same issue last year. Found out you can buy or rent it on a website called "dogwoof of demand", can't send links here I believe but it should come up if you Google that, it's worth it!
@SimplyAlwaysAwake obviously not even to me I guess? The value of you speaking your teaching directly has been so high for me possibly since late Covid..... I find the expansion to reach wider and necessary commercialization less value. I went through early Eckhart same thing. He fell for being 'snatched' and worse. Imo a ring put in his nose for an arrived partner and her own goals. If you do see this? Question. I half way have organized an unusually lovely/free space to offer to the 18ish with in 50 miles of my cental Wiltshire area. I hope to send invite just to meet and see what happens. Some likely will not even have transport and by UK standards not an easy drive. I need community badly to hold to 'my way' . Esp the faster my shadows get in my face! If intention turns into ???? Could 'we' be granted a link for ourselves= sm participation of your 2025 tour? Provisionally I have the tech ie: project and watch for a sm group. The soc economic level of many in the UK is surprisingly low. (I am from Idaho) I want to support this time of great change. It is but a intention since you offer others in your area. My personal life long reduced by those who make my material decisions and a UK Court system. I want need others hearing the call I do hear....and from You.
