In this episode we talk to Angelo DiLullo about awakening, liberation from suffering, and his book, Awake: It’s Your Turn. • Includes a guided meditation using sound, sensations, and thought to help us to know the undefined, the mysterious, the ungraspable, and the undeniable, just as it is. To learn more about Angelo DiLullo, please visit: http://simplyalwaysawake.com/ To sign up for notifications from Angelo, please visit: https://books.simplyalwaysawake.com/ Angelo's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SimplyAlwaysAwake Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/c/SimplyAlwaysAwake/playlists ABOUT ANGELO DILULLO: At the age of 24, after years of intense internal suffering and an intuition that something about the way we interact with our thoughts causes a lot of unnecessary suffering, Angelo had a fundamental shift in the way he experiences reality. This was a pervasive transformation and was life-altering at every level. It suddenly became clear that thoughts, and the way they "paint" our experience of ourselves, time, and space, are essentially unreal, something like ghosts. What replaced this world of thought, struggle, and suffering, was boundless clarity and intimacy with all immediate textures of phenomena. It became clear that this is simply the natural state of things and that it is true for everyone, even if there is some distortion in experience caused by thoughts. It became exquisitely clear that suffering is unnecessary among humans and that any human being who has a genuine yearning to wake up to their true nature has the capacity to wake up to this boundless (non-separation) living truth. This led to the writing of the book, "Awake: It's Your Turn." The book is a combination of practical advice to help anyone who is on this pathless path, practice pointers and inquiry tips, and direct pointing (transmission) through language.
