About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.
Disclaimer: The information presented in these videos is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychiatric or medical illness. The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment. Seek help wherever necessary which might include a hospital emergency department, a suicide helpline etc.

This one is called "The great wave of Cookie Monster." There is a similar one called "Sea is for cookie." 🍪
I felt it pronounced more then ever for a split second then and then the usual experience took over.
I have so much gratitude for the videos you post. They came into my life at just the right time and have really helped me stop asking questions that didn't need answers. A profound simplification. Thank you!

This feels like deep peace and quiet joy. 🙏🏽💕
Finding something deeper is all part of the dream. You cannot not be who you are. Thoughts or no thoughts of any kind will not benefit or cause lack for that what you are. It is whole and complete already for no one. You are that no one, and not even that.
This was really helpful to me. You described these thoughts so well. I'm only now Having glimpses of what I havnt noticed. More often than not lost wandering in the wanting not wanting how it was how it will be thoughts. The process is slow, conditioning is strong, even when u Aware of the conditioning. I appreciate the videos like this. Short n powerful
Thought is division aka violence. Thought is matter aka time.
My mind made a koan for me the other day…not sure if I heard this somewhere else at some point but I noticed this thought so clearly the other day and it made me laugh really hard for a while: if there is no beginning where do you start ? And if there is no finish line how do you measure how far you have gone or how far you still need to go ?
,,,,,my presence îs my absence and my absence is my Presence,,,,,,
Good one! This felt like the exact advice I needed at the exact right time. Thanks.

Studying my thoughts In meditation is what got me into self inquiry. I was told that every living organism has a move to and away response. It is the human that gives these responses values and then makes beliefs out of them

That’s a very good way of putting it. The reflection of mind instantly distorts the meaning and experience of toward and away from
Interestingly, when I enter the revolving doors to the Past or Future, there is no longer an exit. Just an immediate return to the present. Hmm 😮
Another really good koan. Thanks Angelo! 😊
It’s THIS.

Great Koan. Very provoking. Do you make your own background animations? They are exquisite If you do... what program do you use? I thought of a Koan the other day after meditation: What is it that can not be understood?
Ok, I know this is deep but I love the T-shirt. Just saw cookie monster in it. Made me laugh.
I need a koan-ocopy...

Semi-koans?
People have substantial, conditioned emotional issues from childhood. How do you address the conditioning of an adult who had hateful parents? Freud's observation of things like repetition neuroses cannot be dismissed and yet all "thought," as you define it, can be equally addressed by your approach.
You ask a question, but don't want an answer. Interesting. No thinking involved, yet it presents as an intellectual question. As an artist, I quote Shelly Berman - I know the sound of one hand clapping... but math was never a strong suit, so division has always presented problems. No answer here.

i think i was just convinced that Buddhists are fence sitters... i know there has been counters to Buddhists being collaborators through inaction, that some people say Buddhists ought to be activists... but this video kinda pushed me into the camp to think Buddhists are fence sitters... it made me think about where Buddhists sit on the class divide, Marxists analysis.

You speak in very general terms, philosophical. This isn't about philosophy, it is about your direct experience of something more real than all of those concepts, or it is useless.

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake so Buddhism can not help the class struggle, slavery, hunger, racism, sexism etc. etc. ? nor does it have a stance on these things? these are very real things... i do not understand the concept of "more real". you mean metaphysical?
This was entertaining, as an example of how people without much real understanding of, or training with koans think koans work and what they are. Please though, go and actually work with a qualified Koan teacher. Whilst entertaining, this may make you some money, but has little to do with genuine koan training and is misleading those who are genuinely searching. Koan training and teaching is not a grift.
