Incident Report

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
