WAKE UP! - Anthony de Mello

"Spirituality for Today"
If we can question our nature and are willing to look at things from a different viewpoint, to try and understand what is going on inside of us and take responsibility, we can begin to develop the power to change our life and our reality.

Most don't want this. They love their drama and like to suffer and to be miserable and they don't even know it. It is insane.

Think of your life - Do you suffer? Do you have problems? Disturbed? Easily upset? Are you ever in conflict - feelings of Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Hurt, Fear? Then your asleep.

He was outspoken and didn't care of what the others thought. He was ahead of time, preaching the spirituality and not the dogma.Unfortunatelly he paid dearly, passing away early at age of 55. Great, his teachings are precious in this time of spiritual awakening which is MUST for some people

[jacquesbazinet]

this man is a treasure trove of truth and wisdom

[lovesoneall]

I'm blown away by this talk, especially how he goes over the drug of approval. Look at the world of today, especially social media like instagram and everything else. We're seeking the approval of others and yet ultimately it has no value. But damn it's so deep-rooted and thus so difficult to see through this illusion. But Anthony says at 1:02:38:

"If you can understand this my dear friends the understanding will melt the addiction. And you will be free and you will understand the loveliness of what prayer is. Then you will discover what reality is, what god is, because you will have dropped one of the biggest illusions: the illusion that we need to be appreciated, to be popular, to succeed, to have prestige and honor and popularity. There's only one need and that need is to be real and that need is to love. When one discovers that, one is transformed one's life becomes prayer."

"no one has ever hurt you. it's your conditioning that hurts you"🙏

Anthony de Mello is so underrated. His book Awareness kicks ass

[cinnamon]

After all the philosopher I digged and digged back to ancient Greek. None like Anthony DeMello. Who put my heart and mind at rest and let the life flow around me.

🙏🏻

At the beginning of my awakening I became totally nihilistic,
I don’t like the system (governments, schools, etc.) so I became bitter with the world and
I think a lot of us go through it and after some time you get tired of feeling bitter
and you start to live your life, but without a care,
at this point all I want is peace, health and enough money to live comfortable
but I also find peace in not being attached to material things
and I know that nature makes me feel peace,
a good view on a park makes me feel peace,
big winds in the middle of trees give me peace,
a good sunset gives me peace!
It started as a coping mechanism and now I actually enjoy it and need it,
stress kills so I don’t really be stressing anymore as I used to,
I totally let go and I'm not scared of death,
so that is liberating.

“Suffering means you’re fighting it” isn’t that the truth! Wonderful talk

[lespetitsrugby]

“But to depend on another for your happiness, that is the evil” 😮

[lespetitsrugby]

As a academic, I have studied so much abt EVERYTHING, so as I thought. Then, I stumbled across Mello. ..and WOW, it changed my perception on life and of myself. TY TY Youtube for this rare and precious FIND. At 45yo, his works and findings have taken me on a new and different trajectory. ..for the BETTER ❤

[theresakozar]

Am presently reading a book of comments by people who encountered Tony in their lives. I am deeply grateful to be able to hear him talking and to be able to recognise for myself his beautiful awareness, affirming our own inner power in creating our realities, and recognising the value of our every experience. Many many thanks to nobody really, creator of this account.

Anthony DeMello famously said:
“The first thing to realize if you want to wake up
is that you DON’T want to wake up...”

Our somatic programming DOES NOT want to wake up (aka: deprogram).

Instead of listening to and believing the resistance/repression –
which can look like feeling stuck and dysregulated, among other things –
we can just expect it.


Here’s just a few tricky ways that repression can show up in our experience:

1. Nervous System Dysregulation
2. Addictive Behavior
3. Anxiety and Depression
4. Chronic Pain
5. Compulsive Enemy Making
6. Chronic Self-Doubt
7. Brain Fog and Confusion
8. Bouts of Self-Hatred / Self-Attack
9. Isolating and/or Withdrawing
10. Choice-less Approval Seeking and Giving Our Power Away to Others

We need Anthony de mello in our schools, I'm so grateful for his knowledge and wisdom 🙏

[alexdmello]

No Catholic priest said what Fr Anthony Demello said, no priest wants us to wake up

[StriveNot]

To succeed, in the eyes of others, is to fail. And to fail may mean success for those who have eyes to see. Blessed we are, one and all.

6:27: If your being is good, your works will be good. Transform your being by seeing, not by fixing yourself.
15:48: It is not life that is hard, it's you who take it hard.
18:58: Programming. No thing ever hurt you but your conditioning, from the way you see life.
57:48: Soul feelings and world feelings. Competition: winning is a thrill, an excitement.
1:00:37: Being controlled by world feelings, marching at the beat of other people's drum.
We live on ideas
1:08:28: What love is not: attraction, dependance, desire. Strong emotions distort the seeing. The illusory images we hold on our heads about who the other is. Clarity of perception is required.

An true enlightened master, guru, teacher.

Thanks for uploading this video, read 2 of anthony book and its so bone chilling amazing to hear him speak

[taf]

Dear nobody, thanks for this. I had watched parts now and then but never the full extract. Your channel made me discover Vernon Howard, and I started reading The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power. I thought I had read everything and listened to everybody, but the insight now is very original and powerful. At some point in the beginning of the book he talks about the picnic being rained out, or the broken promise, which have no effect on us, only our reaction to them. This was written in 1967 and I realise Anthony deMello is using the same examples almost like quoting the book, in this video. Some 20 years after. Very happy to have discovered Vernon Howard and thanks again no one (or maybe better thanks the One to bring me on the Path again)

[Tinask]

His teaching was so clear and easy to perceive, thank you for sharing!
