So still and quiet I kept thinking my video had frozen up. Then noticed… that’s just restlessness here

Hi Angelo. I would really be grateful for a video on what seems to be an unpleasant "stage" of realisation, i.e, I don't exist, nothing really matters, there's no reward, no payoff to discover there is nothing and no-one to discover anything. It feels like it’s all been a lie, a cruel and sick joke. That’s what I’ve been striving for. This disaster I call “my life” is not going to improve as a result of realization. I feel just like that A-hole Cyrus in the film The Matrix. I totally relate to him wanting to be back in the illusion. I understand my current experience will soon pass and be replaced by another. But I feel conned, like a fool and it’s the rest of the world who, in their ignorance, are on a better path. Materialistic spirituality, manifesting desires etc would've been a better path. People in that world seem happy, positive and bright. So, I'm presented with another dark night of the soul to explore. But I - and I presume others - could benefit from some direct insight on this from you. Or maybe it's just me, getting shit wrong again. Sorry if I'm bringing the tone of comments down. Thank you.

The real disaster is that we all think it is "my life". A spiritual practice is meant to just undo this belief for whom the time is up. So you must be congratulated for coming face to face with this delusion. This particular dark night will likely end the moment you loosen your grip on the notion that it your life and you need do something to fix it. If it feels impossible then it is just that, a feeling.

@@siddharth9 Thank you. I do see this. That doesn't make it any less uncomfortable. I'm allowing these energies to play out (Hah! Like I have a choice) and to find my way back to trusting the process.

Dear Stephen. Just go directly into that deep sense of despair, the utter hopelessness of this. Just go deeper and deeper and deeper and look directly at the thought/sensation …

@@StephenAndersonSACreate Yes, somewhere down the line we just have to let go our draw to comfort. When people came to Ramana Maharishi with great discomfort and he was not able to make them feel better his finally response was "who is experiencing this". We hear this teaching and just don't commit to the exploration of the belief that there is someone who is experiencing. You seem to have a great opportunity to do just that. Best of luck !

@@wanderingmoon1383 Thank you, yes, I know, but it does help to be gently (at other times not gently at all 🥲) reminded and encouraged sometimes.

I’ am old now…Grandpa Alex of Minsk modeled spiritual truth, but he rarely spoke. He did say “Things should come easy,” and I’ve TRIED to ease up. Thankfully, this video describes how SIMPLE it is! So appreciative!

Thanks Angelo :)
