Self Inquiry -- Various Approaches 

Wow, what a video. It feels surreal that this information is free. This has to be the best RU-vid video I have ever seen.

Thank you for giving these pointers and the space of silence in between them.

The “where am I” question feels like the attention kinda moves back and something only just discernible seems to move kinda but not really simultaneously. Is this cosmic hide n seek 👁👀👁 😂😂😂

Man this is crazy. I watched this video yesterday and all that you've been saying aligned with my experience so perfectly. You've been so accurate. And I've tapped into presence without actually taking reference from thoughts, this was insane, cause they were still being generated, but sorta in the background? I acted from that place for a while and omg, so free and finally not bothered by thoughts! Then I fell asleep and don't remember where I ended 😂 but it was great. It's so obvious to me that waking up is possible and I know where to go if I want to, I'm not ready yet to step off of the cliff, but I'm certainly getting closer and more ready. The wording "waking up", I thought was some made up sentence for fun to sound cool, but it is an actual thing. You're waking up from the delusion and the unconsciousness of mind identification and it actually feels like you're walking up out of something.

@22:45 ".... when you stop looking in thoughts... for the answer to, 'who am I?'... there is really just one more place to look... where is that?..." ❤ @4:35 "often when falling off to sleep...." ❤

Exactly the topic I've been wanting to hear! I am loving your book. Thank you so much

4:06 “approach this with some exuberance, consistency and openness” ❤ this! Exuberance- the Lightness of Being!

Excellent! I am speechless! It "feels" like awareness/you talking to itself/us. Like "your" words/sounds are talking to "our" body sensations/space, saying "hey, wake up! we are the same, we are everything and nothing, enjoy the ride! I can't express in words what i perceive watching your video but definitely i feel very deep gratitude, opening, freedom.... Thank you Angelo!❤

This one was one of the best of Simply Always Awake! Thanks!

What a great talk. Thank you. The non dual path has been so full of (seeming) obstacles. I’m both there and not there. Idk. Had several pops when I seemed to get it completely but then back to identifying with the mind, mood and emotions as “me.” “You’re more along for the ride than driving” 😂😂😂 I literally said that to my mirror just this morning

This video makes me giddy. I just keep giggling because it feels so right.

I’m back to this video for the 4th time. It’s so good and incredibly relevant to both today’s overall experience and that of the last year or so. Spot on and I just am so grateful for you Angelo. During practice this morning at about 30 min in I thought “wtaf am I even doing? Why am I doin any of this s**t,” for what?” I let out a deep breath and got up saying “f**k this stupid ….” It had a sense of surrender to it when I let out that deep breath but surrender to what tho? I feel like just giving up completely. I’m getting nothing, which I’ve witnessed in my experience before is exactly what we get from awakening, nothing right? But then that clear recognition disappears into mind identification and subsequent suffering attached to all that. My meditations have been absolutely dead and totally unfulfilling, the last 1 1/2 - 2 years especially. When I started all this 10 years ago I used to have absolutely beautiful and amazing meditations. I’d occasionally seem to travel the universe rushing through star tunnels and being in the middle of the beautiful constellations if not just being the universe itself. They were often stunning and gorgeous with vivid imagery leaving me feeling amazed and quite satisfied and it wasn’t dreaming. I was completely awake and aware. That went on for a few years and then disappeared. I haven’t had any enjoyable experiences in meditation for a few years. They’re very dry, boring and seemingly pointless. No blissful moments, no nothing. Just sitting and doing inquiry. Meditation is good for the physical body in the sense that I seem to respond to the world a bit calmer but outside of that it’s completely fruitless. Sigh. I want to just give up and hurry up and get this stupid life filled with depressions, anxiety and suffering over but I have so much time and effort invested in my awakening that I can’t give up now. Grrrr 😭😤😭😤🤬😩😠 Ok. Just venting. Needed to see in print what was inside my experience.

Thank you. Liking!!!

balling my eyes out😢 suffering is in tense tonight. In the poor man i see me in the successful woman i see me. In everything & all things i see me 😢 It feels like its up in my head & in my breath i can't locate it. There are no thoughts just awareness just sound & sensations. ❤

❤❤❤"...you're more along for the ride than driving, for sure .."🤣 thank you, background tension (fear/resistance) sort of bubbling away. Beautiful heart felt 'guiding' Angelo many thanks Just been listening to Charles Lloyd :The Water is Wide, out of the blue, and, strangely, this is that Are you by chance writing a novel, pure wondering?

Right on the money ❤

Your a great man! Intelligent & using your intelligence to help others.. I have a highly intelligent Machiavelli character who’s been bullying me for a while.. using his intellect to attempt to ruin my life (spreading gossip in my neighbourhood) amongst other things. This attempt to ruin is opposing to what you are.. It’s people like you that keeps us going… I thank you

32:11 I love the where am I question too. I genuinely don't know 🤣 it's just empty, there's no me in my experience. Why would I see myself in my own experience too? There's no perception of the perceiver, there's only perception and the only proof I have of any perceiver is the perception, and then the perceiver is a thought, cause it's not there actually, there's only perception. That makes no sense 😂 tho I'm not letting go of being a perceiver, I'm am it, but I'm just not there, obviously, because I'm looking.

This talk is very deep for me. 🙏🏼 Thank You Angelo.

Beautiful thank you Angelo 🙏

Great man. Wow.❤

Who else is just extremely grateful to have come across Angelo and his content cause I don’t know what I would’ve done or how I’d be when the first big shift happened and not to have had access to all this amazing content that has held me in steed at those critical moments of facing existential fear etc. Thank you doesn’t seem enough 🙏🏾🤍

Every of Angelo's inquiries feels like a bookworm eating through my "Complete Book Of Concepts And Filters", until the whole thing disintegrate into NoThing but worm manure - The fertilizer for my awakening. 😂 Thank you Angelo! 🙏🙏☺️💜

Doing inquiry, I found out I was alert. Good I like lerts. Glad the four legged friends better👍 New koan. What is a lert?

About 27 minutes in you're talking about self ID with beliefs. Political. Probably apply to religious as well. The stuff we know not to talk about over family dinner. The word "politics" seemed to cause me physical pain, at first. I ran - I mean ran fast - from any social situation where the subject came up - one "side" or another didn't matter. All politics were politics. I couldn't imagine any possibility that political involvement can be anything other than purely evil, and this thought will still appear from time to time, and while it's not as painful as it was at first I will still politely make it clear that any mention of politics will show me the nearest exit. I just assume profound unconsciousness, even if reasoning mind says that's not necessarily the case. I was so profoundly politically identified that when the bottom dropped out of identity I ended up dropping ALL social media for a few years - and I still use it only sparingly, if at all. So there's a bit to burn off here yet. Politics can still knock me off the proverbial cushion. Still some avoidance. So this video is timely. Specific recommendations.

Teşekkürler.

Hello fellow individuated aspect of universal consciousness

❤❤❤

Noticing, being alert without labeling: when I listen to sound now, your voice.i understand what 'your words mean...is that labeling?

My reaction when you say “you’re more along for the ride than driving” - this kinda makes me feel angry. Why angry - well maybe more frustrated- because it seems untrue. It seems to deny that there is something very definitely experiencing “all this.” Now I get that it’s not the separate character- and yet there is something that is sensing it all, there is something that is directing attention- like the exercise in your book. Why deny that? Regardless of how it’s labeled, Self or Life or God or Emptiness or Unborn…. There is something there. That something is directing the attention. Why do we have to say no doer? I ask very respectfully. Thank you. Kris PS at the same time in following along this has been so potent. Thank you so much

Hi! Love you! ❤

Hi Angelo, is everything empty simply because what is directly experienced is actualy just neuro chemical activity?

‘what is really here right now’ is that a good question?
