Perpetual Sadhana – Self Inquiry Evening Talk – The "I AM" App

If Awakening is the end of seeking, then Liberation is the end of the seeker. Many on the path glimpse their true nature and experience what we call awakening... a moment when the veil lifts and the search collapses. But often, the subtle patterns of the seeker, the vasanas, the samskaras, the deep unconscious tendencies, continue to run quietly in the background.<br /> <br />Liberation is not another teaching, technique, or philosophy. It is a direct pointing to what remains when the path itself dissolves… when there is no one left to practice, no ground left to stand on, and no distance between presence and the spontaneous unfolding of life.<br /><br />This film invites you beyond the threshold, past the initial glimpse, into the silence that is always here.<br />Not an end, and not a beginning, but pointing to that which never began and never ends, that which was never born and never dies.<br /><br />If you’ve loved what we’ve created so far, your generosity helps us continue. Every donation directly supports the ongoing productions.<br />https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-awakening-the-world<br /><br />The 4K version is available as a little bonus for Youtube members.

The Mind Unveiled expresses the "great forgetting" that occurs when we enter the human experience, obscuring the truth of who we truly are. The journey of realizing our true essential nature, the dual nature of ego and illusion, and the imprint of historical and cultural conceptions of the mind are examined through personal anecdotes and expert perspectives. The Mind Unveiled advocates for a collective awakening to address humanity’s challenges, suggesting that recognizing the ego as the core of suffering can lead to a more compassionate, interconnected, and fulfilling life.<br /><br />The film cast features: Angelo Dilullo, Rupert Spira, Shakti Caterina Maggi, Francis Lucille, Amoda Maa, Steve Taylor, Victoria Ukachukwu, Bernardo Kastrup, Helen Hamilton, Tom Das, Jan Frazier, Louise Kay, Lisa Natoli, and Loch Kelly with narration by Daniel Schmidt.

How to do Self Inquiry – The Dyad Process (Tell me Who you Are)

AwakenTheWorldFilm Tue Jan 31st, 2023

$Join our next online 7 Day intensive - engage in deep sadhana and create the conditions for awakening to happen. https://awakentheworld.com/onlineretreats/ The Wisdom That Leads to Samadhi What we are going to describe has been called ‘The Secret Of Secrets’, the esoteric wisdom that leads to samadhi. Samadhi is the goal of all spirituality, its union with the source, the truth of who or what you are. The truth that transcends the limited mind, cannot be seen by means of the limited mind, the still point cannot be reached by means of movement. If you want to realize the still point beyond thinking, let go of all interest in thoughts and sensations, all preferences, all phenomena generated by the mind and senses, and rest in naked awareness. http://www.awakentheworld.com Music at: http://www.thefractalverse.ca 0:00 Introduction – The Secret of Secrets, Esoteric Wisdom Leading to Samadhi 0:24 Samadhi – Union with the Source, the Truth Beyond the Limited Mind 0:34 The Still Point Cannot Be Reached by Movement – Rest in Naked Awareness 1:20 Two Fundamental Dimensions – That Which Changes and That Which Is Unchanging 1:49 Becoming Aware of Awareness – Conscious of Consciousness 2:43 The Challenge – Cultivating Concentration and Equanimity 3:11 The Two Primary Knots – Body Craves Comfort, Mind Craves Knowing 3:57 Present Without Choosing – Choiceless Awareness, Without a Chooser 4:52 The Paradox – The Limited Mind Cannot Drop the Mind 5:41 Shift from Doing to Being – The “You” That You Think You Are Must Die 6:16 “Be Still and Know” – What Becomes Still?
