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.

Hi Angelo, I left a rather angry comment the other day about how I was done with these teachings. I’ve been involved with Rupert Spira, Adyashanti, Mooji and others for several years and have followed your channel for the past year. I was angry with everyone and felt totally hopeless. The seeking and obsession with these teachings was driving me crazy. I checked your channel this morning and when I saw the title of this video, I decided to watch it. It has helped me more than you know. It was exactly what I needed. It’s change my perspective. Thank you.

Sorry, but I'm really tired of being so depressed and lost in life, and I really need help!!! Thank you so much already for all you do for us. Btw, I do have your book. I only just started it, though. Thanks again!

Wanted to share about my morning. This felt like the place - where you say "Let it burn ...[at] the center of you" - a sound bite I looped for a day this week (each day has chosen its own loop). Woke up and.... {Blue flame in my center; started as a sliver and expanded into a chasm. Ambient sound joined in burning. Only the edges felt tangible, glistening, glimmering with energy. An ocean rose and a mountain grew through it, glacially, stretching into open sky.} I wrote this after the 'meditation' which of course is an inadequate attempt to capture and express. Thank you for all your expression.
Thank Moo !!!
So direct, such a service you are doing here Angelo ❤️🔥
wow, I was smelling the fire! The force of imagination.... Much to burn down.... before, after...
This video is a work of art. Especially if you forget the context, the connections with memories about spirituality. The background tells a story that syncs with the words. The whole thing is mysterious and omninous. This comment has nothing to do with spirituality.

Hey Angelo, i am curious to know how to apply these principles to practical things of the outside world that get us down. I care for my family's small regenerative farm and am now have direct environmental damage from a new neighbour breaking zoning laws and bullying any complaints or compliance. It is more complex than this , but to seemingly have to sit and watch society around (including me, although doing my best off grid etc) damage and extract so mindlessly from the living world around is more than disheartening. Is it that I just have to surrender my thinking and just get on with it. We never had any safety anyway. My ego must be somewhere around...it is all very painful.
you have a really nice smile.
Every time you say "What is mu?" I laugh - giggle, chuckle. Something about it tickles my funny bone.
when I close my eyes I feel like ball is spining in front of me so fast
I sobbed so hard whilst watching this.
This is great! Such a helpful and powerful pointing!!! I would love if you did a meditation video that was just these phrases again and again to settle into! Every time you said “what is Mu? Or “who?” I felt a deep deep surrender and letting go into “who” Thank you for putting this videos out daily!
Such a profound message! I have to listen again - first time through I was distracted by the flames coming through your shirt!!
🌊 your wisdom, like the background - fire, hit me like a hammer, BLAM! Thanks Angelo 😊🌅

Thank you Angelo for this today!! Burning it all down. Entering the pure silence. Can I share my new fave quote? “Our original nature is, in highest truth, devoid of any atom of objectivity. It is void, ominipresent, silent pure; it is glorious and mysterious peaceful joy and that is all. Enter deeply into it by yourself awakening.” Huang Po
I really love what you mention about the "you/me" that's the obstacle. A couple of days ago I felt the suffering and the holding on to it at the same time. And then I saw what is happening. I never saw it that clear. I saw and felt what it costs to believe and to hold on to that bunch of thoughts I take myself to be in that moment. Thank you for expressing this dynamic so clearly. It helps to tune in more precisely 💜
You know my therapist is wise when she says "you can't DO it"
I loved listening to The three pillars as and audiobook.. all The references to Mu made it sound like some far out surrealist Poetry.
Such a gift. Thank you. Blessings in return!🙏💕🔥
I’ve been going back and forth between despair and trying to do something about the feeling of having the brakes on. After I stopped trying there’s just despair and I was pulled into it today, bottomless despair and I thought, do I need to go deeper? And then. realised the despair is just a thought/feeling too. Who’s in despair? So then there’s nothing and there’s such a strong need to find another problem to solve 😂 😅

Hey, thanks!
This comes, as so often with you videos, at exactly the right moment for me. You read my mind it seems. Thank you!!
I have been following your work (am currently going through a sort of “unfolding”), since my initial awakening after listening to J Krishnamurti. I used to be part of the TM movement (worked for the David Lynch Foundation). Though I am skeptical that TM will lead to awakening, it did alleviate a LOT of suffering. There’s immediate benefit, plus you get some glimpses into what this man’s saying. Same with ayahuasca… a mountain of emotional crap was released after those 4 days. Start with things that you KNOW will work, and that give immediate benefits. I don’t think awakening is guaranteed, and none of us are getting out of this thing alive. You can waste decades obsessing about this stuff.

Don’t worry about it. You cannot force a shift, it just happens. If this feels burdensome perhaps releasing the need to be awake might be a step in the right direction. Trust your instincts! ❤
Love to hear what Angelo thinkgs about Loch Kelly his glimpse exercises. I have found them so usefull and insightfull. It helps you discover awareness for yourself in the here and now and it helps you discern awareness from mind and feelings.
I feel like the more I reach for awakening, it’s like sand in my hands and I just get further away from it. I’m an incredibly happy person yet I’m so unhappy. I’m so content but I’m utterly discontent. I’m not alone, yet so unbelievably lonely. I feel I belong on this planet, experiencing this life, yet I know it’s not home. I feel this void inside me that I can’t fill. I know I’m making it harder to experience non duality then it really is and that frustrates me. It’s like I can’t break thru this illusion/simulation. Some days the emotional/spiritual pain is so incredibly unbearable. Like today, I just feel so empty inside and desperate.

It sounds hopeless…. What if you let go of control for just a few moments? If you believe in God, can you just let God be in control for a few moments so you can relax? I don’t know you and don’t know what I’m typing here but I feel compelled to so sorry for the intrusion. I think you’re an overthinker, like myself. That’s what makes this process so difficult. You must release. We think we will get something at the end of awakening but there is nothing to be achieved, except absolute peace. It’s still a bumpy ride after that first shift, but it’s more like riding a surfboard. There will be lots of shadow work between here and there. ❤
Angelo our humanness and our godliness constitutes ultimate freedom.
You do such a great job pointing toward what’s happening in this moment, been using your app, book and KZread videos almost daily, It is very easy for someone like me to keep going on this path with your support in this way by my side on the times I’m living I can take it all with your help and better habits, there rly is no escape for it! I can see it at all times ❤
That background and t-shirt mix for a cool effect. nice!
So, what IS moo? 😂 seriously you help me a lot thank you. Sometimes I can feel the amazing freedom of letting go completely and I know that's what I want and yet... 😔 but I guess I am just imagining it because obviously I did not surrender yet so how could I know how it's like? 🤔
Ah well I am not the only one thinking about a cow 😂
Thank you
Beautiful!
Well...my son got up in the middle of the night as he often does, so I'm up too. I thought I'd check to see if there'd been any answer to the comment I left on "How Can I Navigate Awakening With All These Responsibilities??" before going to bed, and seeing none, turned to my feed only to find this video, which is a pretty precise answer to my question, so...wtf and thank you I guess. I don't know wtf is going on anymore, but I'm pretty sure the jig is up and I won't be able to prop up this ghost town much longer...
I tried the one pointed approach for 21 years, and it was just as valueless as all other forms of inquiry and meditation. At some point I just realized that Kensho is not going to happen for me this lifetime.

From my experience, Kensho just happen when the paradigm of our life reach a breaking point. Since I've never practice anything, I'd say that pratices are only there to orient the subject toward that emotional state that allow Kensho. Make sense ?

Wow!
Even when i stop the thoughts there is still a low mood or dark feeling in the body/mind. Also the thoughts creep back in and are sometimes subtly there in the background. I dont think you can just stop thinking. Can you speak to chronic health problems and chronic pain. No one ever does.Thanks
Your shirt is on fire. Or is it that you are hollow, and the fire is within the emptiness? Symbolic and intentional? Or just the humerous quirk of using a greenscreen. Nice hypnosis anyway, thanks :)

Hello Angelo, do you have to speak the question What is Mu each time? I find it so much easier not to separate from Mu when I just repeat the word. But then I feel like I'm just using it as a mantra, rather than inquiring. Mu.

Hello Sir I am from India. Please could you guide us about thinking that has to be done with practical life. Everything that one needs to be done to do work, so much resistance comes up, fear comes up saying how do you think this result is possible for you, and that you can have it, fear arises of not getting it, but its imp life depends on it, mind says oh no ur focus should be not on the result, how to do things without wishing for something or thinking of a target or imagining goals, and when u set that in ur mind, n then fear of not able to get arises, and then anxiety, then am left with clearing up of the wish , the fear, not thinking of the result so that doesnt manifest by mistake, and trying to just work, then motivation goes like ok what am i working for? why am i practicing for this test, underlying i know obviously i want to score good, the target is there u see quietly its there, I'd be fooling myself, SO HOW TO GET RID OF THE ANXIETY, FEAR OF ACCIDENTLY MANIFESTING THE WRONG, how to do practical thinking, how to let things manifest for me by divine will and how to keep that trust

You can't. You can't get rid off. The desire to get rid off is itself the cause of suffering. You can only get rid off your desire to get rid off by making true peace with the suffering itself as you experience it.
