Materialism vs Idealism... Which Side are YOU On?

About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.

Disclaimer: The information presented in these videos is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychiatric or medical illness. The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment. Seek help wherever necessary which might include a hospital emergency department, a suicide helpline etc.

I remember you speaking of this the last day of retreat in Boone, and now when conflict arises in life, I hear your voice saying, “you do not have to choose a side” So liberating all the way down! I SO appreciate your teachings and service, Angelo! 🙏☯️💕🐇

Emptiness is form, form is emptiness, doesn't mean there is no form, no emptiness. It means both form and emptiness are acknowledged and accepted. But they are not 2 different separate independent things.

It's the same as what Shankaracharya says

Brahman is real
The world is not real
The world is Brahman

Bernardo Kastrup & Rupert Spira
Watching these two humans from aparently opposing positions, come to realise that they actually agree was magic.
The very fact that humans need to label things, is why we need you Doc.
From a human perspective... Idealism

[inglestaemtudo]

That's another level... the letting go.
Even Bernardo Kastrup claims that his analytic Idealism is just an approximation at best. Some hard-headed folks like myself are fond of well structured narratives, but at the end they are just that: narratives

Thank you for putting these out so frequently. ❤

In that regard, I think this is why the "sense of beauty" is one of the most fundamental and classical question in Philosophy. It's a very powerful entry point where forms meet transcendancy. But also meaning that if you follow this sense of beauty deep enough there is way to transcend the indivual self into something larger than what it take himself to be. Making beauty, redemption, and redemption, beauty.

Wow! That was quite enlightening! A few years ago I didn't know of the existence of both metaphysics (Idealism and materialism), but as I adopted Idealism a polarization installed itself within me. Sometimes it's akin to politics😄 I'll keep on calling myself idealist, but I'll try to meditate more on what you said. Thank you!

I love the message and I really love the backround

[TaylorQuince]

Can you talk about non doership and no control. Today, I felt like I lost control. Like everything that is happening is out of my control. If it happens it happens. If I decide to do something, it's an impersonal impulse. It gave me some relief in responsibility and guilt. But totally made me so scared of what if the future does not unfold as I like? What if I fail my exam? There's nothing I can do, right?

Who are you when you let go of the idea of space and Heliocentrism...

[jamessherriff]

Hello, been watching your channel for a good many months now and I'm fascinated by your perspectives, so I have a question for you: have you ever experienced a lucid dream?

[MeRetroGamer]

How simple it is to see and be just how it is... It's even possible to get involved into narratives and still remain in that space of truth. The only problem is actually fear, it causes a need to hang on to belief, and how ironic it is that faith is what makes you able to take that step into the unknown, into the uncertainty that lead towards the truths about what is as it just is, right here, right now.

Well Angelo since my first “spiritual awakening” about 2 years ago I’ve lost all of my friends… drained my bank account ..lost all motivation to do anything..and I’m one fuck up away from losing my family … oh and I just lost my good job today so I’m pretty much at rock bottom… I know it’s all in my head because there’s different ways to interpret “events” but in my experience at the moment the shame thoughts are what’s dominating my head right now…I can feel I’m close to realizing what you point to in all of your videos but I just took a huge step backwards today(seemingly) ..is this a common thing some people go through that you talk to? I understand everything happens the way it does and I gotta surrender all of my attachments and just trust the process but God damn I don’t know how much more I can take.

Imagining this could be frameworked in any way, shape or form is the ultimate, so-called 'cosmic' joke... And yet, frameworking appears to play itself out in the entrancement of self-hypnosis, which is also this

[MrSeanlai]

Dear Angelo, you once said that attention itself is actually a subtle thought, that there is only the senses experiencing themselves. If that's true, why is there the experience of us noticing sensory inputs that appear within our attention, and not noticing things outside of it? For example: When I type this I may only notice what I can see on the monitor and the feel of my hands on the keyboard, I may not notice all the sounds in the room unless I dilate my attention out enough to include them.

Idealism is like a finger pointing to truth, its still a concept though, not the truth. Materialism is more like a finger pointing away from the truth.

[creativecommentsCC]

it's good video but agnosticism is just the starting point, then you have to eat something and suddenly there is a lot to debate. A LOT to debate

[chamarigangoda]

🙏🙏🙏 So true Angelo !
Every thing is a concept,
again concept also a concept .
So there is nothing to hold on.
Then you’ll find real freedom

[chain]

You are a great teacher Angelo. But I got a far deeper more profound transmission from Kamara. Did I spell that right?

[NoThing-eckm]

I am on the side of Idealism because I am a follower of Advaita Vedanta which is the original form of Idealism.
