@injoyinmyself2018 7 месяцев назад

Great inquiry 🙏 Had to share this Gem from JM: Here's all you need to know to become enlightened: Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know. the technique is called Spiritual Autolysis. Autolysis means self-digestion, and spiritual means...hell, I don't really know. Let's say it means that level of self which encompasses the mental, physical and emotional aspects. Put the two words together and you have a process through which you feed yourself, one piece at a time, into the purifying digestive fires." This isn't about personal awareness or self-exploration. It's not about feelings or insights. It's not about personal or spiritual evolution. This is about what you know for sure, about what you are sure you know is true, about what you are that is true...

@SimplyAlwaysAwake 7 месяцев назад

What is normal? Did you ever actually feel normal or is that a retrospective analysis?

@gregsotiropoulos7929 7 месяцев назад

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I can totally resonate with wanting to feel normal. For me this means: I want to go back to the illusion (if this is one) of a world out there and, basically, of people being different from me. Instead, for a while now, my experience is that of constant synchronicities of numbers, words, events, images, and of others having similar things happening to them (in the conventional sense -- not the synchronicities). The synchronicities are literally non-stop, even multiple times a minute when there is an opportunity -- and nowadays we're surrounded by words and numbers, so there's almost always an opportunity. And they often act like an electric shock -- for example I'm enjoying an interaction with somebody and all of a sudden they mention casually some number/word that is clearly synchronistic (eg I was thinking about it at the time etc) and that freaks me out because I no longer know who the other person is, whether they're "real" etc. Sometimes it feels like some sort of hellscape where I'm talking to ghosts, and waiting/dreading for the moment one of them will finally tell me "we're not really here, you're all alone". Scary shit, and this fear has made me almost a hermit as I nowadays avoid almost all social interaction. I just can't deal with the constant "hints" dropped by others/the environment when I'm trying to interact with them as a character in a shared story.

@maxi04 7 месяцев назад

your mind seems to be making up a lot of irrational stories like talking to ghosts or whatever. you seem to have fallen into the trap of constantly thinking about realization instead of actually experiencing it. you question whether others are real (most likely because of the no-self/oneness nonduality talk that you watched or read) but you don’t question if YOU (your ego/false self) are actually real. that’s what’s scaring you and giving you solipsistic thoughts or whatever. on the relative level, everyone is just as real as you are. ultimately tho, neither them NOR you exist as a separate entity. this has to be be experienced tho, thinking about it will do no good. it can happen that the ego takes up these concepts and thinks that it is alone but the ego can never be alone, it can literally only exist in relation to something else. and when you realize who you truly are, the feeling of loneliness is impossible. it’s WHOLENESS. complete unity. basically the opposite of being alone. the concept of being alone only makes sense for a person that feels separate. so stop thinking about nonduality and start practicing to get rid of your mental chatter. awakening is absolutely blissful but the ego will definitely resist it. ultimately i found tho that you can either just push through and put in the effort now or you will eventually be forced through increased suffering. so best to just be a little uncomfortable now so that god won’t have to traumatize you so that you will finally let go of your addiction to thinking 😆 it’s going to happen sooner or later anyways, don’t make it harder by resisting it. let go, there is nothing to be afraid of. don’t give the numbers and stuff too much meaning btw. surrender and let god take care of everything, you don’t have to try to interpret stuff in order to figure out what to do or whatever :)

@watcherofvideoswasteroftim5788 7 месяцев назад

A few weeks ago I had a memory from when I was watching tv as a kid, usually when I was a bit tired and very absorbed in whatever I was watching I'd notice that the tv, despite being pretty small and far away felt really big and my depth perception seemed to be gone. Of course thought this was because my eyes were turning square from watching too much tv and I'd get a bit scared or ashamed and try to "regain" my depth perception but now i recognize that same feeling as this. And now that I know my eyes won't turn square it's pretty enjoyable! Thanks once again Angelo!

I’ve had the experience of seeing everything without distance 3 times in my life and I can say that that’s all I could ever want to experience, but each time it only lastet for under even a second I feel. Now trying to understand is the devil trying to trick me again. But the devil is always smarter than my conscious ego, so I am sticking with no thought and feeling, letting be, instead of seeking with thought…

@Duck72432 7 месяцев назад

I Feel annoyed like doing one of those optical illusions where they ask if you can see the horse moving backwards instead of forwards . Closest I got is realising something like the moment It seems something is “over there” a thought also arises at the same time then I was like what am I experiencing before that thought. Then my head will either shoot backwards or shake is if to say “no” involuntarily like I’m resisting seeing . Then I became more present for a bit a laughed and then I stop giving af anyway . And go watch cat videos . But something will bring me back here at some point . Is what is yall

@Leahedmonds28 7 месяцев назад

for me there’s a referencing back to sensations in the body( usually the chest and head) even though when i investigate those there’s no border. Yet simultaneously they feel distant from objects out there. i wonder if there’s a secret thought that’s giving these sensations a feeling of location that isn’t wherever my gaze happens to be pointing.

@bolivarabreu9011 7 месяцев назад

Thank you

@macbally2026 7 месяцев назад

Angelo - thank you for this. Thank Me, I guess :). Something that did arise sometime 'after' this inquiry was a feeling of fear. Not immediately, but after. There was something about the 'implications' of the inquiry that seemed to frighten 'something else.' It wasn't a surface-level fear, but more something / feeling relating to 'stability.' For lack of better terminology, a vacuum of 'meaning' was created (or moreso, uncovered as it was previously covered with untrue meaning), and that stirred something. Something knows that that fear is good, and just the part of the process at that moment. Anyway, just wanted to share.

@geoffreylevens9045 7 месяцев назад

What seems to happen with me is that as I relax into vision/seeing the appearance of "things" gets funny somehow (not ha-ha but strange funny). To intellectualize, as if my eyes start to do this: "Binocular Vision Dysfunction occurs when the eyes are misaligned causing each eye to send a different image to the brain." And then I reflexively form a self in here to prevent that out of fear. But if I then look for the edge or boundary that defines "me in here" as separate and different from "everything else out there", not always but often the "me" just sort of fades away and there's only the seen which is right here and there and everywhere all at once.

@pignut9361 7 месяцев назад

Questions: You put in the thumbnail “don’t fool yourself”. When one shifts into non-dual awareness, say for example, whilst looking at a coffee cup, how obvious is the shift? I mean, is it something one can overlook, or miss, or is it ‘slap in the face’ obvious - basically is the shift into non-dual instantaneous? Cheers, I’ll work on this.

@James-mk8jp 7 месяцев назад

When the duality of one sense "falls", do the others typically stay in tact, or is it more like a quick domino effect for most?

@OohsAndAhsBros 7 месяцев назад

i tried to figure out if there was a seperation, I couldn't really tell. I can't say whether there is or isn't It's hard to focus kinda because I feel almost a total lack of agency, focus kinda just happens by itself to whatever it wants whenever it wants. Sometimes it's the pain in my neck, sometimes it's getting completely lost in the view of traffic & people walking around. The mind still does what it's always been doing, the "latching" tries to latch constantly almost all the time but gets evaporated the second it comes up.

For me, it's funny that when I'm driving it seems much easier to just being with the flow and not thinking too much about the way I'm driving. Sometimes it's like the car is driving itself in the safest and most efficient way. But in the other situations, especially in social ones, that sort of "auto pilot" system is hardly noticeable and the sense of me as the subject usually overtakes.

@dhammaboy1203 7 месяцев назад

Angelo I have had a couple of experiences on retreat last year where "I" realized - well actually I experienced - that I was exactly the same "stuff" as grass, trees, the floorboards in my house etc. So I'd sit in my meditation hut and I was the trees, and myself and the hut all at one time - I mean I recognized that sameness. I didn't merge and lose the boundary between self and tree. Although my awareness seemed to inhabit a much wider "space" than I normally experience. I felt very wide and open. My guess is that you're not talking about those experiences? I wouldnt describe it as merged exactly - but the realization that everything is the same stuff. That's as far that insight went. To me that was sort of non-dual as everything was one yet I still had the perception of a body and the hut & trees. So I'm guessing your not speaking about those experiences here?

@DamnitJerry11 7 месяцев назад

I start to get double vision and the object will move around, disappear, reappear. Visual field then appears as a projection and not solid object. I even recorded my face during to make sure I’m not going cross-eyed. I’m not.

@tom_see 7 месяцев назад

Do you think it's counter-productive to focus on the visual field when you haven't "awakened"? I'm very drawn to visual field so I like focusing on it during my self-inquiry. I also keep having these temporary flashes/experiences where it feels like objects are looking at me. Like it's alive and aware of me. I know I should follow my intuition, but I've heard it can be good to just reduce all sensations (sitting meditation, eyes closed, etc.) when trying to get that initial awakening - maybe I should focus on this instead? Thanks so much, for everything.

@nikeshgupta5040 7 месяцев назад

Angelo, I was trying the first way and looking across the room at the wall. I could see my chest rising and falling in the lower portion of my peripheral vision. I can't see how I could ignore that to get to a non distance view. Am I 'thinking' or inferring that my chest is closer to me than the wall opposite? I'm obviously not getting something!

@renko9067 7 месяцев назад

If I may comment: what you perceive as *your* body is just part of the visual field flow mosaic.

@nikeshgupta5040 7 месяцев назад

@@renko9067 Thank you. To me that would mean that the whole of 'my 'experience is a show in the field of awareness and that therefore I should not identify my body mind as being me, which I think is what Angelo is pointing to. The only doubt that then remains is what is the point of a being that thinks its something that it is not. Pointless as far as I can see. Which then makes it possible that we are fooling ourselves into believing something to relieve our suffering. So until I experience non-dual awareness I am trapped in this recurring loop, waiting for grace.
