Michael Singer Podcast

The most basic function of mind is to receive messages from the senses so the indwelling consciousness can experience the outer world. Suffering begins when consciousness fixates on certain experiences and refuses to let them pass. These fixations become stored impressions that form the ego mind, distorting the perception of reality. Liberation comes not from controlling life to match the ego, but from letting go of identification with the personal mind so experiences pass through freely and actions arise from clarity and compassion instead of ego.

E159: How Consciousness Becomes Trapped in Thought

Spiritual liberation is not about rearranging the contents of the psyche but about stepping back and observing the psyche with clarity. If you do so, you will see that most emotional and mental suffering is rooted in fear: fear of failure, loss, and rejection. Spiritual freedom requires the courage to look upward toward truth, God, and the vastness of the universe while letting go of the deep internal fears that drive our actions. Liberation is not earned through outer success, control, or acceptance from others, but by choosing to be free from the tyranny of the personal self.

E158: Making the Paradigm Shift from Fear to Freedom

The mind and heart are vibrational fields shaped by past experiences we’ve clung to or suppressed, resulting in the reactive inner world we live in. Liberation begins by stepping back into witness consciousness, seeing that we are not our thoughts or emotions, but the awareness behind them. The path to freedom is through inner purification—letting go of stored impressions and no longer adding more disturbance by resisting or clinging to what life presents. Serve life, don’t fight it.

E157: Understanding Mind—The Vibrations of Thought and Emotion

The mind becomes a problem when it is filled with stored emotional impressions (samskaras) that we resisted or clung to, shaping our preferences, beliefs, and ego. These inner patterns distort reality, create suffering, and cause us to constantly judge life based on past experiences. True liberation comes not from controlling the mind but from understanding these roots. We can then learn to let go of the stored disturbances and allow life to unfold freely without resistance.

E156: Mind Is Not the Enemy—What’s Stored In It Is

The mind is not the brain but a subtler field of vibrations that consciousness becomes distracted by and clings to. It identifies with these mental and emotional impressions and creates a false self (ego) resulting in a life of inner conflict and misperceived reality. True liberation comes from witnessing these vibrations without resistance and allowing experiences to pass through, revealing the expansiveness of pure, undistracted Consciousness.

E155: Mind as Vibration—The Root of Suffering and the Path to Freedom

This spiritual teaching uses the metaphor of ego-consciousness as an upside-down glass submerged in the ocean. The water (consciousness) within the glass is really the same as all the water outside the glass, but it sees itself as separate because it is looking through the barrier of the glass. This causes one to identify with a small, isolated sense of self instead of the infinite ocean of being. Ultimately, you are invited to stop identifying with the contents inside the “glass” and instead realize you are, and have always been—the ocean itself.

E154: You Are the Ocean—Escaping the Limits of the Ego

The purpose of life is for divine consciousness to merge back into unity through the expression and experience of its interaction with form. Human suffering arises when we resist this process of evolution and demand that the outside world match our personal desires and fears, rather than learning from the reality of the present moment as it unfolds. Enlightenment is the natural outcome of letting go and merging with the unfolding reality, serving the divine rather than the egoic self.

E153: Evolution—The Divine Dance of Consciousness and Form

True spiritual growth naturally evolves from a disciplined practice into a spontaneous art, where life is experienced and expressed without inner resistance. For example, working off one’s karma is actually done within, by releasing stored impressions that we formed by resisting past experiences. These impressions block the natural flow of energy (Shakti) within us. Liberation is found by learning to relax through discomfort, letting go of past impressions, and ceasing to use the outer world to manage our inner wounds. This becomes the sacred art of spirituality.

E152: The Art of Spirituality—From Practice to Liberation

As you enter this new year, reflect upon how clinging to past experiences and resisting reality leads to suffering and prevents you from knowing the true meaning of life. Spiritual growth is about learning to let go of inner disturbances through conscious awareness and relaxation, rather than trying to make the outer world match our inner programming. By releasing your inner blockages, you expand into a being of unconditional love and clarity who uplifts the world around you through genuine presence and service.

E151: Living Untethered—The New Year as a Doorway to Freedom

Spirituality is not about what you do, but why you do it—and most of our actions stem from a place of inner discomfort, driven by clung-to past experiences. This inner resistance distorts our perception and leads us to believe we must manipulate life to feel okay. A much clearer state of being is realizing that we are divine consciousness experiencing God’s creation. The path to liberation is learning to relax and honor our experiences in life so we can act from a place of unconditional wellbeing, love, and inspiration.
