My man's in Australia and is still pumping out a vid a day. Unmatched productivity

How can there be no 'emotion' work? Way early (30 years ago at least) I realized, as I tackled the process, that it would be all centred there for 'me' - and it was tempting to step away, except fortunately I'd gone too far for that option to be real. Being an artist, I simply did not question that process, so imagine the surprise to find as I watched a tutorial (of an art) where I finally noticed how I was clutching the arms of my chair, tense like a piano, like I was watching a gripping drama. It explained everything about my failure in that endeavour. Inspiration? For sure - if that intense involvement isn't there, then art might not happen. But, to enter the craft with that sort of tension and emotional bathos yields a mess, where piece after piece is a horror. A way was found, I am delighted to report. I took up an art which, as any art might do, required HUGE patience; why it worked for me is that it was related to my vision, but utterly differently achieved. Oils to embroidery, if this makes sense. Painting with thread. Like the first meditation discoveries, I worked through those damned frustrations, eh? The experience now is so paced down, with the expectations being left aside. No, it isn't Home Sweet Home stuff; this is ribald, joyous, unplanned yet coherent, with a thousand arabesques and loving colours. Who knew? Self. What is really beautiful for this old soul is that they are all gifts for beloveds. Even with a career in solo piano playing in restaurants and hotels, which ended with fascia problems (genetic), these hands (your hands) are marvels. Angelo, it is a miracle I found your work and LISTENED. Bless all of us who suffer, inquire and love!💔❤‍🩹❤❤‍🔥

10:30 "Is there a sense of duty or moral obligation associated with bringing about the situation where the dual is positively reinforced by a rush of energy rooted in thought?" I rarely respond to these things; my body is just doing it. I have no idea if my interpretation about this question is correct but this is what intuitively arises: Trevor describes a shaktic sense of energy arising out of compassion; this energetic explosion is wrapped in thoughts yet somatic, felt deeply -- and this Call of Compassion engenders a generative desire to bring about a positive influence in the dualistic world. The sense of compassion is itself nondual in nature yet the Identity of Duty wraps around an engrained desire to embody the energy that compassionately changes the world. To me, Trevor acknowledges an apparent mechanism where the Reflective Capacity wraps around Transpersonal Compassion and the individual feels a responsibility to become a Steward of the Realm. I freely acknowledge this might be what I see because this is where I see 'me' wrapped up in identity but I offer these words to the wind.

Even the most planned action is, at its root, spontaneous

I think there are probably varying degrees of true spontaneity. At least, in terms of spontaneity of the divine intelligence versus the ego’s.

Thank you for everything!🙏❤

Thank you for answering my question. ❤️

Ballsmasher might have been referring to “It” as in; is the relaxation feeling after disengaging with thought the space of actual presence, & maybe punning off of Alan Watts book “This Is It”.

Hi Angelo, is it the right move to COMPLETELY stop listening to thoughts ? I dont mean to push them away I mean to COMPLETELY stop living by what they say. The impulse to believe in "neccessary to survive", "helpful" thoughts is very strong. If I buy into one thought I have to buy into all of them because categorizing one thought as helpful and the other as intrusive is a thought too ! Thanks ;)

seems right to me. i would add that you don’t need to add the thought of time into the equation. you can stop living by what your thoughts say right now, and there’s no need to extend that move into the future. try, as you say, to COMPLETELY stop listening to thoughts for just a moment and see what happens. best of luck on your journey!

If you’re walking out in the wilderness and you see a stick on the ground and then a thought says “that’s not a stick, it’s a snake! Don’t step on it!” Are you going to say “la la la I’m not listening, that’s just a thought” ?? Or will you pause, assess the situation, verify if that thought was correct and then take appropriate action?

That's a lot of thoughts you don't need to listen to in my opinion😂 but listen to your heart I'm sure the answer will reveal itself in good timing❤

I rarely notice cuts in your videos. There is at least one cut in this video.

I have a Kindle version of it on my phone.

18:35 so with mind identification that's what I noticed, when I let go of a thought aka disidentify, I'm more integrated, I'm more me, I'm not the thing I'm not, I'm realizing that I'm not that thought which I'm not. On one end I'm integrating into me, but on one end I'm disintegrating from an already existing I'd say solid thought me. So it's kind of a disruption of something that's been stable, BUT into something that's real. And then the body sees it all, that's why it works, so when you realize what you are then the body sees it, so it operates with that knowledge, with that insight, it produces thoughts and understanding based on that, it gets aligned, it's a pretty useful insight ngl

By "this is it" I was referring to the video I left the comment on, I meant that disidentifying from a thought releases energy? It = energy. The relaxation equals a release of the energy? I think you were saying something about this process releasing energy, maybe awakening does in a huge amount, maybe disidentifying is a small release

What do you think happens after this “body” dies?

Do you still get heaviness or contraction in your abdomen Angelo?

Why does life feel so cruel? Why are there cats dying of hunger and illness? And why do I feel in distress when looking at those cats, like life has wronged them so bad

Everyone's teachings is going to have their tint of ignorance in it. If a teacher doesn't "clean up" after the fact, their teaching will reflect it. I think that's really what we see within this "neo-advaita" movement, and it kind of makes me wonder if they truly have no empathy for those that they bulldoze over? It's not kind, and I think more articulate teachings prescribed to each student is more the way to go, rather than some half-assed one sized fit all method.

​@@silverhandle So I looked it up and what I've found is that the oldest version is probably in the Gita which goes something like: "For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends, but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy." But then there appear to be many iterations by many people. In one form or another
