Awakening & The Realization Journey (w/Dr. Angelo DiLullo)


Listen Later

Originally released in June of 2021, I recently revisited this amazing conversation with Dr. Angelo DiLullo, a physician, author, and teacher of non-dual realization (sometimes called spiritual awakening) and felt compelled to share it again for a newer audience who may be deeply interested in awakening and the end of needless seeking and suffering. The original video and transcript are here. Read Angelo's book on awakening Awake: It's Your Turn here. Check out Angelo's YouTube channel here.


0:00 Intro: Eckhart Tolle and “The Three Pillars of Zen”

6:44 Disclaimer/Warning: why you should ONLY watch if you’re deeply interested

10:17 The possibility of transcending the ego and subject-object duality

12:10 The paradox of free will/agency on the path to awakening

16:36 Experiencing the present moment as a kind of flow state

20:59 Understanding what “presence” is and its relationship to thought

27:54 The sneaky ego and how it relates to awakening

34:52 The roots suffering in desire, striving, and egoic constructs

37:48 Unbound consciousness, the dissatisfaction of seeking via a false “self,” the importance of surrendering and emotional integration

50:44 The truth behind paradox

56:31 Awakening is available for anyone, and is not a crazy or paranormal experience

1:00:20 Is mental illness a hindrance to awakening, or a reason not to go down the path

1:05:38 Awakening is beyond the mind’s understanding, so how can you tell you’re awake

1:10:18 Unfiltered reality as the primary truth

1:16:08 Psychedelics vs. other methods of pointing/awakening
