Michael Singer Podcast

Our lives are governed by the programming from our past experiences that create preferences, defenses, and closures which block the natural upward flow of shakti. Spiritual work is learning to not close—releasing stored disturbances, relaxing in the face of triggers, and practicing openness in ordinary situations until we experience unconditional well-being. Sustained openness liberates your inner energy, leading to overwhelming love, joy, and, ultimately, spiritual union.

E127: Unconditional Well-Being — The Practice of Non-Closing

The mind’s natural state is pure, quiet, and expansive, but it appears restless because of unresolved experiences that were not allowed to pass through. These stored impressions generate the personal mind, a constant stream of likes, dislikes, fears, and desires that you mistake as “you”. Liberation comes through the daily practice of handling life’s experiences and living from the witness rather than from these stored impressions.

E126: Work at the Root—Why the Mind Is Restless

Life is extraordinarily simple: we are conscious beings living on a tiny planet spinning through vast empty space for a very short period of time. We did not create our bodies nor the rest of nature that surrounds us, yet we try to own and manipulate them, believing our happiness depends on controlling life. But true happiness comes from learning to handle reality, then working with it to create something beautiful. This involves practicing openness, letting go of past blockages, and refusing to build a self-concept out of personal likes and dislikes. By doing so, we rediscover our natural shakti flow and evolve into beings who can live with love and freedom instead of suffering.

E125: The Simplicity of True Spirituality—Learning to Handle Life

Mind is a very high vibration energy field that receives impressions from the outside world and renders them as inner experiences. In the state of pure mind, thoughts and emotions arise as impressions that pass right through. But when consciousness resists these impressions, they accumulate and form the personal mind, creating ego, preferences, and suffering. By contrast, the impersonal mind operates free of personal bias, enabling clear thinking, creativity, science, and inspiration. Spiritual growth involves letting go of the personal mind and living from a higher state of clarity, love, and surrender while still engaging in life.

E124: Transcending the Ripples on the Lake of Mind

Human beings walk around with a fishbowl over their head full of thoughts about themselves. Instead of naturally processing outside experiences as they come in, we trap the ones we can’t handle inside this bowl. These stored impressions distort our perception and generate endless preferences about what should or shouldn’t be happening. True spirituality is about letting each experience pass through fully processed—whether joyful or painful—without clinging. When no longer distracted by these stored impressions, one enters a state of openness, equanimity, and ecstatic unity with all of creation.

E123: How Clinging Creates Ego and Suffering

The spiritual journey is not about chasing external goals but about realizing that these pursuits only mask a deeper truth—we are not okay inside and driven by deep-seated fears and needs. Spirituality begins when we recognize that this comes from storing unresolved experiences inside that block our natural energy flow. Liberation is not about controlling life to achieve more but about learning to let go of these blockages during everyday life. Over time, this leads to a state of unconditional well-being culminating in unity with divine consciousness.

E122: Beyond Goal Orientation

Shakti is conscious energy, the essence of the universe, and true spirituality is about realizing oneself as awareness beyond the personal mind and emotions. Thoughts and emotions are merely vibrations shaped by past impressions, and liberation comes through letting go and refusing to be pulled down into them. By staying open and centered, Shakti naturally pulls one upward into higher states of clarity, love, and wisdom—and ultimately into merger with God-consciousness.

E121: Chit Shakti: The Journey from Distraction to Merger

Spiritual freedom is not freedom for yourself, but freedom from yourself. As you gradually cease to strive to get what you want and avoid what you don’t want, life transforms into a harmonious unfolding of the Tao, where peace and joy arise naturally from being in alignment with reality. As you cease to be bound by the personal, —you come to realize the true beauty of who you really are.

E120: From Ego to Eternity: Living Without Preference

The root of all human suffering is ego—defined as our personal preferences, desires, and resistance to reality. Consciousness—our true self—is inherently divine, ever-present, and unchanging. It gets pulled down into lower vibrations by mental and emotional attachments to past experiences. The path to liberation involves recognizing the futility of resisting what has already happened and the importance of releasing our stored blockages. Over time, this allows us to enter a state of joy, peace, and harmony with the universe.

E119: Escaping the Pull of Ego: A Call to Liberation

The spiritual journey explores the fundamental question of identity—not who you think you are, but who you truly are: consciousness itself. Ego, the false concept of self, is created when the mind clings to certain events and forms rigid preferences, desires, and identities around them. True freedom lies in ceasing to store these inner impressions and letting the energy of Shakti rise unimpeded into a state of unconditional joy and well-being.
