Angelo Dilullo -- Empty Radiance

[AnotherBob]

I am happy to share this very helpful interview from BATGAP, featuring Angelo Dilullo, who has re-invigorated the practice of Inquiry to the point of Liberation from the separate self-sense and associated mind virus.

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.

Thanks for sharing ~ will have a look at the video. Most of Rich Archer’s interviews are quite insightful

About 36 min into the video ~ quite good. Essentially a recognition looking at whatever appears in experience without lessening the observer stance, irrespective of the pleasantness or unpleasantness determined by mind-body preference. Detachment yet vibrant. Resonates.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have just purchased Awake: It's Your Turn.

It looks interesting.
