For me…started 4 yrs ago..was in a relationship for 18yrs two kids ages 14an9 she ended up walking away and that took me 3 months finally broke me an something clicked (my kids) I knew the pain I was on was going to get darker and sitting in my garage 2-3 in the morning I collapsed to my knees, that’s the time I turned to the higher power.. the next morning I was up making eggs and bacon so much weight has been lifted off of my shoulders a year later we moved into our new home. My son is doing well. Getting good grades. My daughter is doing well I’m getting her new equipment. I am finding my footing. I have forgiven from my peace and I find the little things make me happy movie night with my little ones fixing up the yard shopping for my kids and cooking with my son..he’s better cook then me but I’ll never admit it lol…
And whenever negative vibes surface around me I have the ability to say it is what it is turn and walk away And not let it bother me..
I’m a full time proud,single father of two amazing, beautiful children and going strong.amen
To anyone reading this, "Everything's okay!"
Or rather "here's the truth: things are bad.
Are we going to die? YES.
But it doesn't matter, it's also right"
Thanks to you :)
Thank you.
@@bloomp7999 death is a part of the illusion beloved. We are one. One person passing on is the same as when the human body drops a "dead" skin cell, a new one will replace that cell as life goes on within you and without "you". And yes everything is ok.
Love u 💖

Meditation and surrender is a lifesaver - truly. I meet so many people who’s lives are completely changed because of meditating and surrender. ❤
Happy to hear that, thank you for your beautiful comment!
Literally a lifesaver and it seems they gradually erodes away every wall which inadvertently forms in between and let the water of life comes forth and nourishes and resurrect you , may everyone be graced , love you all.
Totally! And immersing in nature 🥰
What is surrender
I am at the beginning of my spiritual journey at 65, you have made this journey attainable, I laugh at myself and my past experiences, I have found abundance, thank you ❤
Pick up any Hindi Yoga Book translated in English- the message is same. I love that I learned this when I was in my 20’S and My life changed. Spirituality is pausing and redirecting your journey to what brings you bliss. It doesn’t mean questioning one’s existence but enjoying it .
You are so lucky or privileged to have found your path of truth so early, I am 73 and still working on my inner self, listening to your heart and staying present is so important as well ❤️
This is the best definition of spirituality I’ve seen
@@soulmood7777 Thank you 🙏 🌻
Most challenging of videos for me!So grateful!♥️
Maybe the same but not explained as well as Far as lemans terms ✌️❤️
Dear dear Michael I have read countless books and meditated twice a day for ten years, I guess I’m a slow seeker but your books are the ones that helped the most. Many things you wrote stays within me and helped me get back on track when I needed it.
Thank you so much, your saying, follow your voice and not what you like or don’t like talked to me a lot
Thanks again and please keep writing if it is the univers’s will ❤
This is the most amazing talk of yours. I took a long time to reach this state, to receive this insight. I longed for this knowledge all my life and now I seem to intellectually understand the path. Trusting to move ahead quicker with this understanding. Every great Indian master taught the same. You have made it so simple for every common man to understand. Pranam's and Gratitude.
This is freedom! I have searched for so long for something that I could apply to my life. I have looked at religions, that in the end, I felt like a failure. I can't thank you enough Michael Singer. While my belief in my Savior is unshakable, your materials are a tool to add to my faith.
ANYHOW THIS IS GREAT 👍 😊❤ 10:49
You might like to know among the 700ish idioms in the Bible…one is eat my body means learn my teachings & two is drink my blood which means live my teachings…Love, peace, compassion, forgiveness ect.
Jesus is our savior if we do this.
There are many Spiritual Masters who teach the same thing.💖
This man is slept on, some of the best talks I’ve ever heard in my entire life
Mindblowing, my new favorite man on the planet
I agree he’s a blessing to humanity

Being in a job which is unfulfilling to your soul & is soul destroying does matter to your wellbeing holistically, mind body soul spirit. Since changing my career my soul feels more at peace and at ease & is in alignment spiritually. Constantly desiring is completely understandable & I’ve experienced letting go of desire especially material things & external temporary pleasures. Joy is felt from the heart! Amen 🙏
Find the joy...
Well said 👏 👌 👍
So you did change an external thing that made You unhappy...
@@Tryingtolovemyself107 yes I stopped a worn out career in Hairdressing after 25 years!
I was in a soul destroying job.... leaving the job to seek healing and on the path to being a whole and complete being...❤
Thank you Mr. Singer, For I have thought I was on the path to self realization for years, I am so grateful that returning to your guidance from last year and It feels like I am listening.......... for the first time. I am fully ready for the unknown. Sending you many blessings ♥
Michael, I know you don’t know me but I just want to say I’m going thru some tough times emotionally and your work is helping me get back to love. Thank you
Hello Eddy ,i hope you are pulling through and I am sending love and hugs to you today.
@@ntamanasha7005 thank you much love ❤️
Another man, who in my opinion is right up there with Michael Singer, is Alan Cohen. He has a lot of talks on utube as well, and is a proponent of A Course in Miracles. He also has some wonderful books. I have met Michael Singer a number of times and he truly is the "real deal".
Hechale ganas @eddyesco0752 ...i too have been going through a difficult time, but this man's teachings and wisdom have been leading me through some tough times...suerte y animo!
@@alsuarez9932 preciate it ! Im with you !
This is the best. I'm just sitting here grinning. Life is so great. I'm so happy for all of you that can feel it too. Love what you do and do what you love ❤❤❤ it's that simple ❤
I'm still in the process of this and it is changing my life in a magnificent way
The Bible says “ as a man thinketh so is he”. A man is what he seeks. Seek joy, love, peace.
Feels like after all these years and people i listened to, how and why noone told it this clear and easy
Forever thankful 🙏🏼
It's really weird how well he communicates things. I have been trying to practice from traditional sources for 30 years and had a lot of frustration. I bought The Untethered Soul audiobook on a whim (not even sure why since I thought it was probably just some new age fluff) and had success following his "relax and release" technique immediately. Afterwards, I realized I have at least a dozen other highly-detailed books from authentic lineage holders of different traditions explaining the same things in different words which were, for some reason, way harder for me to truly utilize. I tried and flailed for years and it increased my frustration more than anything else. I even went on retreats and learned directly but somehow just didn't really get it.
I agree completely! This video was the best yet. I purchased his new book yesterday and loving it. Thank You Michael much love 🙏✨❤️💫
Agreed, deeply. All the best.

That hamster analogy and the way you did it should be a children’s movie. It would be good to train the young with this mental health advice and spiritual pathway.
Many Spiritual Leaders find it difficult to express the beauty of truth once they have found it, and so presence with little words is what they give. Their paths and reasons are their own, for all paths will lead to the same place in consciousness. Michael has broken through the wall of verbalizing truth Thank you
This was like the lighthouse I needed to guide me back to shore during a rough patch on the journey. I was stuck in that want/don't want cycle and trying to come up for air, forgetting that I'd gotten on that dang wheel again. Thanks so much ❤️
This is Modern version of ancient scripture. Thank you Michael for speaking to westerners in their language. Explaining the profound in such a simple way.🙏🙏🙏🙏
These are the wisest , most precise , simplest use of a collection of words to lay out a method that will undoubtedly set myself and anyone else free !
Bravo Mickey!
All as One, for, I;IS,We. Grace IS, Love IS, Eternally. Love IS You. 🕉☯️
So many years of study and in this one talk, I finally understand . Thank you Michael. I'm going now to relax...
What is it that you understand?
I have lived a different life ever since reading your book
The Surrender Experiment.
Thank you for your words of wisdom.
Same here.
Wow 😳
Nice one Chris. Are you on Facebook?
Which book?
Thank you, Daniel, for that beautiful message from the Creators ! Enjoy your getaway with your family !
Love and blessings ! Namaste.
❤️🙏🏻❤️
Yes; worrying and anxiety can become all encompassing. It is this realization that has me turning to spiritual pursuit.
This man is my master manifest in this world, thank you for bringing me here

“A daily dosage of positive energy so corrosive that it wears out every negative doubt as the gap between the dream & reality closes.” ― Curtis Tyrone Jones
Nice!🌻🧚♀️🌻🧚♀️🌟
It is a dream a dream watching the me character wanting to be something when there no even it’s wants or desires anyways!! It’s all an illusion designed for the mind/body to chase endless things that are not actually happening anyways. None of it is real it’s a game that’s been designed to cause emotional mental psychological and physical suffering and torment to the mind/body. Everything is all just the self. Watching myself every where
Mind is conflict.
Peace is only being in the witness conciousness
🙏❤️
I am still trying to comprehend what witness consciousness
@@veronicapalleres9664 His first book, The Untethered Sole…have you read that? It took me reading through it more than once, I wrote little note cards of statements and snippets of his , that resonated along the way and kept studying the cards…then it brought me further
@@veronicapalleres9664 Listen to a Rupert Spira. He makes it really obvious and simple.
Michael Singer, I wish you were in Washington state! I would come visit you every day! All of my Love and Light to you!!! ❤️🌞❤️
You,the one who’s in there when you relax,are very beautiful
Genuinely wholesome 🫶🏽 we understand this on a soul level. ✨️
Remember it shall pass, and it will.
I've experienced many many terrible things during my life...., some of them actually happened. 😆
I am listening a second time. This is worthwhile, helpful. Thank you.
I have the 8 video course … got in late 2018 - changed my life and those around me BECAUSE of MY healing … it is SO much more than just reading a book … recommend this for anyone who can sit & listen - it’s like you are in the room with just him, sitting, speaking to you - sharing these AMAZING lessons
you mean Living from a place of surrender? I have just gotten it. It's wonderful and it's helping me dramatically!
Yes! I listened to that series after reading his books several years ago. It really started me on my path with a solid foundation that has just grown. I love his manner of speaking. He is so genuine.
Can you share with me the video course
Where can I find the course? Thank you
@@lambylambcurly sounds true platform .. listen to thr 1st few minutes of THIS, Tami tells you exactly where to get it & discount code 👍
I can’t even begin to articulate how grateful I am for these podcasts and for Michael Singer
micheal has helped me through a lot of pain and suffering recently with his teachings, thank you Micheal
💚🔥✨✨✨✨
Okay, but it wasn't actually Michael that helped you get to that pain... you and a lot more did
... these teachings come through him
Gratitude is a beautiful thing!
Wanting to feel Authentic is where my journey to wholeness began in my mid 20s.
Indeed, it is a journey of letting go. There are several paths to explore - spirituality and/or psychology that helps us become Authentic. All journeys require emotional work and commitment. Stay strong.💙💜💓
Thank you for this. It seems that this was the missing piece, for me. A while ago I heard that desire represents the deepest level of mind. Everything else flows from there; emotions, beliefs, thoughts and perceptions. Therefore it makes a lot of sense to go straight to the root, which is desire, and let it go. If you’re trying to go beyond the mind, this is the most efficient way of going about it that I’ve encountered. And it works. Within 10 minutes of applying this I began to feel the love, and then I started to wonder how it is that I could ever want anything. Everything I’ve been looking for is right here.
P
Q
I listen to every word recorded and written by this man. Each one makes me feel exactly the same way.
Beautifully expressed and experience ❤
🙏
Michael have the Keys!!! Wish every human on earth would understand this❤forever greatfull,thank u Mentor!
I can't believe this is free to listen
Free is free

Being in present works for me. When I ruminate I align back in present moment. That is my awareness. Great things are a happening!
My inner being is saying thank you for guiding me back home
No problem, Michael Singer! I haven‘t got in life anything I wanted. Not even near. Feels fantastic? I am so spiritual that I lost everything, even joy of life - but, it did not make me feel any better.
If I even once got what I want, in away I want- it would be wonderful.
I love this man! He has a wonderful ability to put these important idea's into words that help everyone understand. Every time I listen to him I get another aha moment then I giggle because it was so simple. I really enjoy listening to him in while I do all the mundane human tasks I need to do. BLESSINGS!
Wow! I feel so enlightened and will re-listen to this over and over when needed. Thank you.
We're off to see the wizard! the wonderful wizard of Oz! When we get to the final stage we'll finally see the Wizard of Oz and he'll give us what we've been seeking. Wait no he just points out that you already have it.
The wizard of oz is to stop seeking, to let go- Dorthy was always home and the whole movie- The wizard of oz is about Dorothy attempting to find home by integrating all aspects of herself!!!
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!
@@cal.5081 the man behind the curtain to me symbolized a hoax. A lie...guess I was/ am a synical/ jaded child. Lol.
@@grainofsand4176 They were all afraid of him and it turns out their fear wasn't real, like 99.9% of all fears.
What a great “way” …. So much love to all ❤️🌈☀️
THANK YOU ❤
LOVE YOU 😘
Absolutely profound 🙏🏻
Been listening for 13 minutes now and you’ve said only one thing, over and over again. I was interested in your statement but got it the first time you said it. Will continue . . . . . .
We can choose the way we view life and that outward situations of life cannot rob us of our peace. It is not the world which must change for us to be happy, but our view of life.
You don't live on earth, you are passing through it. - Thank goodness too! Don't grieve for what doesn't come somethings that don't come keep disasters from happening... 🌻🌝
Why we are here? Existence is scary.
This is one of the best things i‘ve ever heard.
Ive been an atheist my whole life so spirituality was never even in the question for me. One day however I noticed, like this guy says, that what i was doing was not working. So I slowly started seeking knowledge through people like jordan peterson, dr k, joe rogan, and other intellectual or wise seeming people. Surprisingly its lead me to these same realizations and I hear this video after about a year of me trying to change and it feels very reassuring. Im still not a believer in higher power but I do now see how our minds can overpower us and lead us down the wrong path. Which opens my once closed mind to be able to see how having something to follow can really help keep your life in check. After all we’re just a bunch of humans trying our best in this unnatural world of our society. I wish everyone here seeking knowledge and change for themselves the best ❤
I want cheerfulness to preside over all and Jesus to be present 🙏
It’s the philosophy of Ramana Maharshi /Advaita made easy for all🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Michael is giving me hope that my flawed self can improve. He has a very practical style/message.
I wonder if we can 🌻 see our growth, and our apparent flaws, from that cozy seat of joylovepowerinfiniteintel🌟🌻🌟 have a Bonza Day
It's the practical examples, that makes him more worldly then other teachers isn't it. Bless him 🙂
#1 Decide you want to get off the wheel
#2 relax. Decide not to get involved in yout mind
Let go of wants and not wants. When the mind says I want or I don't want....your job is just to relax.
I was onboard with this enlightening essay by M. Singer until the last few minutes when he equated the ultimate goal of spirituality with letting go of your individual self and merge totally with the Universe. This is non-dual I would venture. But somehow one still accepts the world as it is, and participates in the world having given up one's individual self.
I find this hard to buy into. Despite all the non-dual advocates.
I feel it goes one step too far- into death, which we humans should only experience as an end of life reality- not a spiritual reality to live by. Until I am convinced, I cherish the ME that I was born into, and there is a blueprint that we all have unique to each person, and life is about honoring that individual blueprint, not abandoning it.....
Reading his 2 books changed my life and got me through some gamely times
Michael of course has stopped striving for any earthly goods which is why a mysterious voice from the universe pumps out his book; as a spiritual being (complete with Guruesque peals of enlightened laughter), he's got absolutely nothing to do with it! The Buddhist philosophy of embracing death while alive by non striving - & begging the unenlightened for their livelihood - works well it seems for Michael, for whom the universe strives profitably night & day.

"all your energy and will become involved in trying to manipulate the life outside of you to be the way your mind thinks it should be"
SHEEEESH gonna write that one down
Fascinating !!!
I practice relaxing and letting go every day various times during the day-and what you say is so true: my energy changes, every time I relax and let go, Shakti rises and flows and so I’m discovering step by step, who I really are❤❤❤ I discover how neurotic is the speach of my mind!!!
I thank you so much for giving us this wisdom and method🎉🥳🤩😍✨💜♥️💜♥️🔥🫶🏾
This is so true! Chasing one’s mind. Get off the wheel!
Been sitting outside for every sunrise and sunset for over a year in Michigan.
Finding this has made it all clear to me why.
I've recently found this channel and I'm so grateful for the teachings of such a wise soul. Thank you so so much.
Much love and gratitude.
Thank you for making me understand something I could never really grasp.💕
I love it when he quotes the Bible
Gracias y Bendiciones ❤
My word this is nourishing to my childhood; I can’t imagine what it will do for my adulthood…
Mr Singer,
Absolutely appreciate that you care to share.
Thankyou

Love and appreciation . Cape Tow. SA
I like the sense I get when I hear this voice. Maybe it's just me, but I like it a lottle 😘
Mind is not only a wheel with desires it also shows other important issues as emotions and values that need to be reconized and ordered to really be in peace...
Grayrocking your mind.
Miles and miles of smiles you're way
Michael Singer just spelled out how to merge with the infinite. Actually, lots of NDEs have this experience when they are out of their body. They experience universal pure consciousness. It is this body that limits us. So we need to stay awake while in the body until we are released back to who we are.
Michael is making this very easy for me to surrender and let go . Thank you .
Ty!!!😊
What a treasure this podcast is…!!It’s also painful & unpleasant to listen in places, because it confronts me with truth, it shows me where I am stuck and that I am not letting go. 🤯
It’s one of the best instructions on self work.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you for this podcast. Letting go sounds amazing. Living in a state of oneness, observation and non duality means that little will "bother" you. This sounds like an amazing way of life. ❤️🙏✨
Not enjoying all the ads. I know that’s a “don’t want” but find it very difficult to focus. Love the talks that were ad free.
@@sueadcock6581 surrender and let that go too :) Notice the emotion you have, and then don't follow it, and relax. I was about to post a question about how not to repress/suppress psychological content while using this technique, and then realized I was falling into the same trap. I let that thought go.
THANK YOU
If only it was as easy...
Before you can even realise you are a hamster, a lot of insight is needed. This approach will lead to spiritual bypasses for many. Who will then still be that hamster...
i always had a vision of floating in a ocean of pure light, first time hearing someone describe it exactly thank you.
Oh the irony of the sudden and aggressive life insurance advert popping up in the middle …….… for anyone else whose algorithm detects they might be between 45 and 60 😂
