IV been doing this for two years now. I have been healed of Cptsd, ADHD, loneliness, severe insomnia, insecurity and now I have finally been freed through my kundalini awakening. Im leaving all the darkness behind and going to Bali, following God and my destiny 🙏 Michael has been instrumental in this new step of my path, silencing my mind and releasing myself from my ego. Thank you for the teaching Michael 🙏
I thank the Universe for guiding me to this moment. ❤ Michael Singer is a humble master with one of the most important messages we need to hear in these confusing times. ❤
Michael Singer helped me to understand the voices in my head. His one quote about getting upset about the driver going 10 mph under the speed limit, this hit so hard and dead on target. It was such a profound awakening just when I needed it most. I thank God for placing this wise man in my path.. peace and love to all. I am so grateful....
I agree completely. It's amazing how something as small as letting go of your reaction to the driver in front of you can lead to letting go of other BIG stuff.
I absolutely love Micheal’s message’s. What a beautiful messenger of light. Makes me feel so light when listening and taking it into my days. Forever grateful 🙏✨🙏
I just effortlessly discontinued doer-ship. Therefore I have now entered into the all-encompassing spiritual essence of ever-expanding nothingness. Thank You & Goodnight.
Thank you, Michael Singer. I needed to hear this teaching, this morning. All is good. Let all events pass through you like the weather events. Relax and release. I will be going back to this teaching, I know it for sure. Thank you.
So how come it comes and goes this state of blissful presence . For me the alert quiet space comes and goes for me still . I haven’t been able to have a steady state of it all the time . That’s my only goal in life is to clear and heal myself . All I care about is to be present as much as I can . Nothing outside can’t bring me that feeling
I think everyone experiences the coming and going of that blissful state, but over time as you look back, you realize you are a very different person than when you began.
Think THE key point he's making is that this shouldn't be a goal, or even something you "care about"... as that's just more struggle with reality, more clinging, more ego. It's the aspect that trips everyone up - the effort to bridge the gap between where we are and where we want to be. There should be no effort, just surrender - to what already is. You let it come to you (actually it's already here - you just have to recognise that, "simply" allow what's obscuring (what's already) your true nature to fall away and then abide in it) rather than going in search of it. That's my understanding of the Tao. Hope that helps.
Wonderful distillation of deep teachings on life. Thank you for this fine reminder of what this journey is all about... "loving what is"; "meeting life on life's terms"; "be here now."
I love this guy❤❤❤ "It's like being in the ocean and saying I can't understand what the waves are doing, well, they're doing whatever they're doing, they're all around you. I don't know what you would not be able to understand, you know? They're just coming, and going, and flapping around doing whatever the waves do."
Michael I gotta say you have helped me TREMENDOUSLY feel more at peace and treat life as you say an experience to the spiritual being we are and not let any of it trouble us. I hope I said that right lol. I have grown listening to you and others like Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins. Thank you thank you very much Micky for being here and helping us all.
They all talk about the same state of presence and I am so beyond blessed to be able to experience this so much more in my life every day and I am so blessed I have been shown the hope of what I can look forward too as I continue to do this beautiful work of freedom . Accept and let go of all emotional reactions as they rise up in any situation I never blame Anyone or anything for the way I feel . It’s always just something coming up in me that needs to be accepted and let go of
This is a world class video, so deep and so profound, thank you Michael Singer for once again changing my experience of life 😊 and for all the countless others seeking to live Life as they’re teacher as you so beautiful articulated ❤
I think this is why I've never really gotten it. I want to find pleasure and avoid pain. The neutral, nothing matters, it's just happening vibe seems like just another coping mechanism for numbing pain, but one that also shrinks the effect or feeling of joy/pleasure. So, like, we're here to just see and cope with whatever pain the ego responds with? That's life? Wow. Maybe one day I'll get it!
Dopamine addiction (the pleasure pathway in the brain is real). This is why people do pleasurable things as a distraction (social media, education, relationships, roles, titles, material possessions, etc) running away from Self and seeking external pleasures to dull that sense of void within. But our brains are created to keep us safe and balanced and there comes a point where too much essence has built up on the pain side so no matter what you do for pleasure you feel nothing. This pointing is saying that with discipline and dedication we may bring our ego/ identity/preferences that control our wellbeing into submission. With this submission we are peace inside, whole, and need nothing outside to feel good. As we live in this state we can love unconditionally, work and experience life without being attached to the outcome, without having expectations, without needing others to be this or that way so we feel secure, without comparison or judgment. We have a choice to be free or bound, Life happens either way.
I have chosen to stop creating stress over things I have no control over. It doesn’t mean my life doesn’t continue…. I means my thoughts and actions will not upset my environment. Thus far I’ve found the outcomes are not different
Watching for the outcomes is expectation. Thinking this path will create a better situation is still resistance and doership. Looking out at the environment is being pulled there. If it never changed its OK, everything that's relevant is what's going on within. And with time the outside may reflect the inside.
By this time it is proven beyond doubt that these 'direct paths' will not either make people grow up or clean up, just wake up to certain degrees. Spiritual bypassing is a real thing and people with severe trauma, which is a great deal of humanity, will need other modalities also.
Do you think that the path which Mickey describes, if done earnestly, is not necessarily beneficial to everyone? I am definitely biased. Mickey's teachings have changed my life. I am interested in understanding what you mean by spiritual bypassing. Thank you for your comment.
@@SeatsofContemplation Hi there, I don't know his teachings apart from these short videos where it is obvious that he teaches in the kind of neo-advaita style that have been clearly seen as a tool for spiritual bypassing. I do not doubt it can feel liberating or be of good value. It is not a black or white question. If you search around about 'dangers of neo advaita' or similar, then you will find articles that describes this much better than I can. The levels of body, emotions, thoughts, trauma, ethics, unconscious, shadow-work, etc, is also necessary to adress on their particular levels as I see it, but many see it otherwise.
@@wendym2544 In general, all of the traditional mystery schools, east and west, used several levels of initiatory steps to make sure proper maturity and CAPACITY to harbor and embody the 'gnosis' recieved. Even Jesus and St Paul said that they couldn't teach everything to all. Modern trauma research also shows us that spirituality can be used in ways that may hide lots of unhealed stuff and make one to believe it is gone or absolved. Ramana Maharshi spoke about false liberation as a real phenomena. Papaji said that not one of his western pupils reached liberation - despite that they have been teaching for decades now. Adyashanti speaks of certain awakenings connected to the head center that may feel total or complete but is just the beginning at best and the heart/feeling level and gut/instinctive/will level can be fast asleep and unpurified. David Godman, Timothy Conway, Ken Wilber and many more also speaks about neo advaita traps or the necessity to not only wake up but to grow up and clean up. I believe it is for anyone to see that the history of eastern teachers coming to the west shows us so many good examples how people can reach certain samadi STATES of liberation but their psyche/soul/body may remain in very low/dysfunctional STAGES of development. This is such a huge topic and I am just pointing towards them in as honest way as possible. We all have to discern what we think is necessary and true and help each other to make the most of our collective and individal processes.
Life isn’t like the weather like Michael says a person can’t do anything about the weather, except control, his response or emotions concerning how the weather is, but with life if you don’t like what it is giving you, instead of sitting back and doing nothing, you fight like hell, to change your reality, and sometimes that works, and sometimes it doesn’t,
And what about an absolute abusive toxic people… the idea accept it like the weather and fix your attirude does not work. Great teaching but not applicable in all cases.how is equilibrium possible in this case unless one is brain dead??
It is all about how you react to it, once you accept, you are able to surrender to the flow of events and find the right course of your next actions... without the desire to change the circumstances in which you actions will take place 🙏
I am so grateful for Michael Singer I'm looking forward to one day meeting him just so that I can experience that moment .... how do I get a chance to talk to him and meet him in person before I pass away in life it would mean the world to me literally❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's easy. Visit his Temple of the Universe in Florida. You can get more info here: tou.org/ Send an email to his people there. They are very helpful. Mickey is very accessible. He gives talks on Mon, Thur & Sunday. It's likely when you walk in, you'll find him sitting cross legged on the floor or maybe playing a keyboard. He takes questions after his evening talks, but you can catch him at other times too, especially after the Sunday service. Hope you get to go. It's a great experience.
Imagine a newly formed planet; completely void of anything but the rocks and minerals. Then, after a period of some time, from this reconstituted cosmic dust of metal and mineral and gas, these conscious, mobile individuals appear, wandering freely, on its surface. Now, that would be about as fantastically spooky as it is possible to imagine.
Have no preferences…let the wind of life come and dance with it. Let go of any part in you that resists. Work with the part of you that is not in harmony. Let go of commotions. Fear not. To die daily, keep letting go. Big things happen and you are not in fear. Nice but not applicable in such cases of prolonged contact with a narcissistic personality and other horrors of life. Michael, How does one Dance with life in such scenarios??
You accept you are dealing with a narcissist first Then take appropriate action steps need be… Accept don’t resist what you’re dealing with basically 😅
I do like his teaching very much. However, when he says we reach this desired state only by having no preferences, none at all.........if we are ill, and trying to get to a better place......by doing what it takes to get to that better place, how would we not being having a preference. Or if you're going to lose the roof over your head, so you have the preference to try and seek out some different options, how would that not be having a preference? I can see if you have a lot of money so you no you won't be evicted etc.... that would be easy. Any thoughts? I can see taking the actions to get a better job, or to try and find something to help your health issues, or taking some action to rectify what's going on in your life that really, IS a serious problem (here on planet earth terms).............and just taking the action but being willing to not have a preference if it happens or not, or being willing to not care if it happens or not...............but how would you go about those actions and not have any preference about it? The way our brains work, to do something would mean we have a preference for it. So ? And for those people whom are in a very bad place, due to no fault of their own, are they suppose to just roll over and say that their totally fine with it? They are suppose to not even try to get out of misery or pain etc..........That seems like a very defeatist way of life. Very martyrish. If you found out there was no cure or no possibility for being okay, that yes, I can see accepting it. But are you supposed to just sit around and do nothing?
I don’t it matters what’s happening in the 5D world, it’s our reaction to it. We can’t control all the terrible things that happen but we can control how we react to it. Being in suffering doesn’t have a purpose, it doesn’t mean bad stuff isn’t happening but we can choose to be happy even in the worst of situations
I’m not Mickey, so this is just my humble opinion. I think our preferences, especially the ones that our mind generates automatically, are based on all the “stuff” that we didn’t let go in the past. This “stuff” clouds our judgment. When we are able to release this “stuff”, then, as Mickey says, there are no decisions to make. Our path becomes clear.
MIchael's teaching is very similar to Eckhart Tolle's. Basically the idea is to accept what is and then take the next best action you can. We create additional suffering by defining things as good or bad and making mountains out of molehills. For example, if you lose your job and are broke, of course try and fix that, but don't create extra suffering by adding your extra meaning of what the situation means. The situation is what it is. It's neutral.
Um when its cold and i cant get warm its hard work - doesnt matter how much i accept it. When its hot and i cant find shade or water im in trouble. I may be having a spiritual experience but im still human
So I do understand the weather analogy however I don’t understand how to implement it… is it that if it is hot outside and you feel it but don’t complain about it?!
I’m only half way through this video, but I hope he gives some real life examples other than the weather, for example; Losing your job, not being able to make your mortgage payment, not knowing how you’re going to buy food for your family, etc… I’m hoping he gives us an example like this and explains how to handle that situation. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
yes, he would probably say to stay present without any preference one way or another, letting go of worry and doubt, perhaps in the stillness trust and faith would arise naturally of its own accord, it maybe the case, and with that trust and no self concern it would open the door to grace flowing into ones existance,
Have people read his book The Surrender Experiment? He built the company that later was bought by the company that is known as WebMD. Assuming I recall it correctly. He lived these ways the entire time and even nearly went to jail for a crime he didn't commit. Yet, he surrendered/accepted throughout this period where he could have been jailed for 15 years. If you want to find out how he used these exact principles in that situation I suggest you read the book. It's amazing I must say.
Jai Guru Dev, Jai Masters. Jai Guru Dev is a traditional Hindu phrase that means Glory to the Great Teacher (the most accurate translation would be glory to the shining remover of darkness), where the great teacher here is generally considered to be the Divine Soul, while we, as human beings, are considered the individuated Soul. Jai Masters means Glory to the Masters, some of whom Singer refers to at times.
@@SeatsofContemplation Thank you for explaining that to me! I’ve been listening in for quite some time and couldn’t figure it out! I was on Webster dictionary trying to type what I thought I heard
You can change the language to French in TH-cam settings. Then on each video, you can select Closed Captioning or view the transcript and they will be in French.
Stop the game, this is my experience of life. Pay attention to the unfolding and see what's out of balance. Unfolding is so scary. Working on the disharmony that is. Be open to it when it feels like death.
I wonder if micheal would be so blasé, if he didn’t have his spiritual retreat, the success of his books, his teachings, if no one knew him, and he was sitting on the street panhandling or perhaps in prison, if anyone could do it probably Michael could because he has experience All the success, and now he is old, he has lived his life and he has done it well🙏 for the rest of us having an attitude that life doesn’t matter no matter what you are looking at, it is much more difficult, and much easier to reach these Spiritual ideals when you don’t have to worry about the bills or the kids
If youre interested in hearing Michael touch on a pretty major, heinous event that happened in his life and lasted for years, go to 39:30 of this interview and listen. The really astounding thing if you keep watching is that you'll learn that while his life (by anyone's standards) was being turned upside down, he still managed to write one of his books, The Untethered Soul, that so many have benefited from. th-cam.com/video/Sl7UwUOlTLQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ydbm1s1sn84vtWkE
Good morning 😊 I understand where you are coming from, the pressures of life can be daunting Try go deep and really llisten and grasp what he is teaching,, he doesn't say there won't be storms and bills but you can baton down the hatches through the storm,, rather than yell and scream at the storm, trying to control it Often we have too many bills because we bought things we wanted and not needed Loads of self attack by our choices Having more children than one can afford because of thoughts " I will be a good parent" No judgement here 😊 just listen,,, he says try not fight life May you be blessed 🎉
His works are even more important for those in the busiest times of life (raising kids, trying to get bulls paid, mayhe taking care of elderly parents). Michael has a way with words and the stories he tells keep us interested and attentive. He has so much wisdom to impart. Keep listening, you will start to understand it doesn't matter what's happening, you CAN enter this peaceful state of mind ❤
(NO PREFERENCES) The pathless way cannot be accurately explained using words. Words explain what the pathless way is “like,” but cannot explain it precisely. They who live the pathless way do their best to describe how it is lived, but are only able to describe what it is, “like,” which is all words can do. How does one use words to explain color to a blind person, sound to the deaf, scent to a person with anosmia, taste to one with ageusia, feeling to someone with Peripheral neuropathy? Impossible? Stories and parables attempt to explain, try to bridge the impossible. How does one explain an experience, a way of life, that cannot be explained using mere words? One can’t do it accurately, which is why they who do try to explain use the same words, the best available. Living (experiencing) the pathless way is “LIKE” these words, but is beyond these words which describe feelings: thankful, at peace, content, happy, joyful, blissful, ecstatic, and simply “I’m OK with my leg falling off, (because that’s what is) and I’m OK with the universe (people, places, and things doing what they do in spite of my best efforts) because THAT’S WHAT IS, and it’s insanity to fight what is because once something IS, it’s in the past and cannot be changed (until later, maybe), but in the meantime, I’m OK. I’m dying here, but I’m OK. George and Ed were shopping when a bomb went off and both were blown apart, but are momentarily alive. George looks at Ed, and Ed looks at George and their last words to each other were, “Wow! What an awesome experience.” The smiled, laughed and died. I was chased by a bear. “He’ll get me or he won’t. I have no preference, but I’m running as fast as I can, because I can. I trip. I fall. He’s on top of me. THIS IS AWESOME!” I hear a shot. The bear is dead. OK! oh well, I was OK, either way. THE END.
I’m sorry but I’d like to hear him explain further how there is no good or bad. It seems in life there are evils that really happen and people working to alleviate suffering and evil are doing real good. Maybe he’s not talking about that. 🤷♀️
I have heard Mickey say that yes, people do some really bad things, and the reason they do these bad things is because they're not okay inside and somehow they think doing this thing will make them okay.
It’s a perspective on non-duality, in which all is forgiven immediately; in fact, from God’s or Spirit’s or The Universe’s perspective (whatever name you give to that entity) all is known and forgiven long before the act is committed. Certainly not a common human, time-limited perspective; but (from what I can tell) is the only viewpoint which makes sense from an Everything That Is perspective. Hurt people hurt people. The “bad” things people do are (almost always) things which have been done to them. Or they are acting out from a place of pain and/or desperation. I hope this helps!
Think about this words are just sounds, we attach meaning to them. If no one ever told you what good & bad, evil, pure, etc meant you would not assign a perspective (meaning, assumption, value) to things that are called good or bad. We decide what's good or bad based off our socialization of norms, preferences and experiences. If we stop doing that it all becomes things that happen, experiences in this life.
@@HobbesNJoe I have also heard Mickey say that forgiveness is only necessary if you were offended by the thing in the first place. If you are clear of blockages, you are not offended, so there's no place for forgiveness.
If I have a problem with the rain, it's my fault. I have a problem. This terminology is harsh and doesn't land well with me. There is no compassion here- and there's an implied blaming and shaming. This is a very masculine, witness level approach to relating to life, but it's leaving out the feminine, which is to embrace everything with love, welcoming it, including any emotions, resistance or pain.
What about the children dying in thousands in the war, their suffering, the soldiers, the greedyness and totalitarien waves passing through society? The weather you don't have to have a problem with, or everyday incidents. But its very hard to not have a problem with evil. Christ came to teach us how to be humans in a better way. I dont think you go deep enough in your examples.
Yes..........IF you have an interest, please read my comment up above and if you have any input, let me know. I completely get doing this weather or other factors like that, but not when you're facing very serious issues? And to me with serious factors, yes, go ahead and accept them, but still take action to make them better. For instance, with the children dying etc..........volunteer in some way or do something that you think will help, but then isn't that "having" a preference? And we are not supposed to have preferences. I really like MS, but most of his teachings fall short like you mentioned up above. Maybe he's just talking about people that don't have any real problems. The kind of people that make their own problems, even though the have health and are able to have a roof over their head, etc..........they might complain about everything. This video would work wonderfully for them. Yes, we need deeper examples. Hope you're having a good day! Cheers.
Our thoughts create good and bad. Look at a city all created by thoughts. Army’s destroyed cities they are driven by thoughts. If only we could become aware of our thoughts and make them our servant instead of our masters. Watch what we love and hate before reacting. Are my thoughts my thoughts or are they the thoughts of the news reader. You can breath all week without being conscious of the fact that you our breathing. The same is true for thinking
I agree. Many of Mickey's examples are simplistic. Maybe he's trying to reach a broader audience. But I must admit, when I first started reading Mickey, I began with the "Driver in Front of Me" example and sometimes still I notice myself having thoughts & emotions about that driver in front of me.
He's indirectly telling you that you only suffer because of who you THINK you are.

I think this is why I've never really gotten it. I want to find pleasure and avoid pain. The neutral, nothing matters, it's just happening vibe seems like just another coping mechanism for numbing pain, but one that also shrinks the effect or feeling of joy/pleasure. So, like, we're here to just see and cope with whatever pain the ego responds with? That's life? Wow. Maybe one day I'll get it!
Dopamine addiction (the pleasure pathway in the brain is real). This is why people do pleasurable things as a distraction (social media, education, relationships, roles, titles, material possessions, etc) running away from Self and seeking external pleasures to dull that sense of void within. But our brains are created to keep us safe and balanced and there comes a point where too much essence has built up on the pain side so no matter what you do for pleasure you feel nothing. This pointing is saying that with discipline and dedication we may bring our ego/ identity/preferences that control our wellbeing into submission. With this submission we are peace inside, whole, and need nothing outside to feel good. As we live in this state we can love unconditionally, work and experience life without being attached to the outcome, without having expectations, without needing others to be this or that way so we feel secure, without comparison or judgment. We have a choice to be free or bound, Life happens either way.
I have chosen to stop creating stress over things I have no control over. It doesn’t mean my life doesn’t continue…. I means my thoughts and actions will not upset my environment.
Thus far I’ve found the outcomes are not different
It is, prior to this you would have reacted worse more than likely, and therefore suffered unnecessarily as a result.
Watching for the outcomes is expectation. Thinking this path will create a better situation is still resistance and doership. Looking out at the environment is being pulled there. If it never changed its OK, everything that's relevant is what's going on within. And with time the outside may reflect the inside.
Thank u!!❤❤❤
Glad I could cross you upon my own story.
Love you Michael sir ❤❤❤
Its sounds so wonderful for you to tell everyone what spirituality is?????????????
He's indirectly telling you that you only suffer because of who you THINK you are.
Blessings! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
From darkness into the light. I needed to be broken before I could really hear a message like Mickey's.
Thank you. Cheers
Beautiful ❤️
Very powerful ❤
By this time it is proven beyond doubt that these 'direct paths' will not either make people grow up or clean up, just wake up to certain degrees.
Spiritual bypassing is a real thing and people with severe trauma, which is a great deal of humanity, will need other modalities also.
Do you think that the path which Mickey describes, if done earnestly, is not necessarily beneficial to everyone? I am definitely biased. Mickey's teachings have changed my life. I am interested in understanding what you mean by spiritual bypassing. Thank you for your comment.

Hi there,
I don't know his teachings apart from these short videos where it is obvious that he teaches in the kind of neo-advaita style that have been clearly seen as a tool for spiritual bypassing. I do not doubt it can feel liberating or be of good value. It is not a black or white question. If you search around about 'dangers of neo advaita' or similar, then you will find articles that describes this much better than I can.
The levels of body, emotions, thoughts, trauma, ethics, unconscious, shadow-work, etc, is also necessary to adress on their particular levels as I see it, but many see it otherwise.
@@M-i-k-a-e-l Thank you for your reply. I will definitely explore that.
@@M-i-k-a-e-l Hi, could you give me any examples of other videos or other people that might do it more the way you're talking about? TY.

In general, all of the traditional mystery schools, east and west, used several levels of initiatory steps to make sure proper maturity and CAPACITY to harbor and embody the 'gnosis' recieved.
Even Jesus and St Paul said that they couldn't teach everything to all.
Modern trauma research also shows us that spirituality can be used in ways that may hide lots of unhealed stuff and make one to believe it is gone or absolved. Ramana Maharshi spoke about false liberation as a real phenomena. Papaji said that not one of his western pupils reached liberation - despite that they have been teaching for decades now.
Adyashanti speaks of certain awakenings connected to the head center that may feel total or complete but is just the beginning at best and the heart/feeling level and gut/instinctive/will level can be fast asleep and unpurified.
David Godman, Timothy Conway, Ken Wilber and many more also speaks about neo advaita traps or the necessity to not only wake up but to grow up and clean up.
I believe it is for anyone to see that the history of eastern teachers coming to the west shows us so many good examples how people can reach certain samadi STATES of liberation but their psyche/soul/body may remain in very low/dysfunctional STAGES of development.
This is such a huge topic and I am just pointing towards them in as honest way as possible. We all have to discern what we think is necessary and true and help each other to make the most of our collective and individal processes.
many thanks 😍
Life isn’t like the weather like Michael says a person can’t do anything about the weather, except control, his response or emotions concerning how the weather is, but with life if you don’t like what it is giving you, instead of sitting back and doing nothing, you fight like hell, to change your reality, and sometimes that works, and sometimes it doesn’t,
And what about an absolute abusive toxic people… the idea accept it like the weather and fix your attirude does not work. Great teaching but not applicable in all cases.how is equilibrium possible in this case unless one is brain dead??
It is all about how you react to it, once you accept, you are able to surrender to the flow of events and find the right course of your next actions... without the desire to change the circumstances in which you actions will take place 🙏
2 years for me as well not perfec5 but OK BUT what a difference. I feel like I got my Life back..
I'm ME
I am so grateful for Michael Singer I'm looking forward to one day meeting him just so that I can experience that moment .... how do I get a chance to talk to him and meet him in person before I pass away in life it would mean the world to me literally❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's easy. Visit his Temple of the Universe in Florida. You can get more info here: tou.org/ Send an email to his people there. They are very helpful. Mickey is very accessible. He gives talks on Mon, Thur & Sunday. It's likely when you walk in, you'll find him sitting cross legged on the floor or maybe playing a keyboard. He takes questions after his evening talks, but you can catch him at other times too, especially after the Sunday service. Hope you get to go. It's a great experience.
Great for the brain..
I am no one, no where, doing nothing.
Now that sounds like bliss
lol 😂
Wise words for the journey
Imagine a newly formed planet; completely void of anything but the rocks and minerals.
Then, after a period of some time, from this reconstituted cosmic dust of metal and mineral and gas,
these conscious, mobile individuals appear, wandering freely, on its surface.
Now, that would be about as fantastically spooky as it is possible to imagine.
❤❤❤❤
Mickey is a typical American , explains it in B&W clearly , no grey areas .....one of my favourites, if not the favourite ?? !!!
Yes. He is absolutely my favorite for that exact reason. Everything he says is so logical to me!
Have no preferences…let the wind of life come and dance with it. Let go of any part in you that resists. Work with the part of you that is not in harmony. Let go of commotions. Fear not. To die daily, keep letting go. Big things happen and you are not in fear.
Nice but not applicable in such cases of prolonged contact with a narcissistic personality and other horrors of life.
Michael, How does one Dance with life in such scenarios??
perhaps he would ask why you stay with the narcissist, that is a good question,
You accept you are dealing with a narcissist first
Then take appropriate action steps need be…
Accept don’t resist what you’re dealing with basically 😅
❤
Can’t relate to the weather concept to life, because I accept and love all weather, but I hardly accept and love all what life throws towards me
You don’t have to love 💕 it
Simply accept it
Don’t resist it..
It is what it is 😉
Deception. Im here to live and enjoy
Play the game!
I do like his teaching very much. However, when he says we reach this desired state only by having no preferences, none at all.........if we are ill, and trying to get to a better place......by doing what it takes to get to that better place, how would we not being having a preference. Or if you're going to lose the roof over your head, so you have the preference to try and seek out some different options, how would that not be having a preference? I can see if you have a lot of money so you no you won't be evicted etc.... that would be easy. Any thoughts?
I can see taking the actions to get a better job, or to try and find something to help your health issues, or taking some action to rectify what's going on in your life that really, IS a serious problem (here on planet earth terms).............and just taking the action but being willing to not have a preference if it happens or not, or being willing to not care if it happens or not...............but how would you go about those actions and not have any preference about it? The way our brains work, to do something would mean we have a preference for it. So ?
And for those people whom are in a very bad place, due to no fault of their own, are they suppose to just roll over and say that their totally fine with it? They are suppose to not even try to get out of misery or pain etc..........That seems like a very defeatist way of life. Very martyrish. If you found out there was no cure or no possibility for being okay, that yes, I can see accepting it. But are you supposed to just sit around and do nothing?
I'm curious to see the responses to this.
I don’t it matters what’s happening in the 5D world, it’s our reaction to it. We can’t control all the terrible things that happen but we can control how we react to it. Being in suffering doesn’t have a purpose, it doesn’t mean bad stuff isn’t happening but we can choose to be happy even in the worst of situations
I’m not Mickey, so this is just my humble opinion. I think our preferences, especially the ones that our mind generates automatically, are based on all the “stuff” that we didn’t let go in the past. This “stuff” clouds our judgment. When we are able to release this “stuff”, then, as Mickey says, there are no decisions to make. Our path becomes clear.
MIchael's teaching is very similar to Eckhart Tolle's. Basically the idea is to accept what is and then take the next best action you can. We create additional suffering by defining things as good or bad and making mountains out of molehills. For example, if you lose your job and are broke, of course try and fix that, but don't create extra suffering by adding your extra meaning of what the situation means. The situation is what it is. It's neutral.
Um when its cold and i cant get warm its hard work - doesnt matter how much i accept it. When its hot and i cant find shade or water im in trouble. I may be having a spiritual experience but im still human
So I do understand the weather analogy however I don’t understand how to implement it… is it that if it is hot outside and you feel it but don’t complain about it?!
❤❤❤
I love you, Mickey ❤
I’m only half way through this video, but I hope he gives some real life examples other than the weather, for example; Losing your job, not being able to make your mortgage payment, not knowing how you’re going to buy food for your family, etc… I’m hoping he gives us an example like this and explains how to handle that situation. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
yes, he would probably say to stay present without any preference one way or another, letting go of worry and doubt, perhaps in the stillness trust and faith would arise naturally of its own accord, it maybe the case, and with that trust and no self concern it would open the door to grace flowing into ones existance,
You accept you’re dealing with challenges & then you do the best you can
Have people read his book The Surrender Experiment?
He built the company that later was bought by the company that is known as WebMD.
Assuming I recall it correctly.
He lived these ways the entire time and even nearly went to jail for a crime he didn't commit.
Yet, he surrendered/accepted throughout this period where he could have been jailed for 15 years.
If you want to find out how he used these exact principles in that situation I suggest you read the book.
It's amazing I must say.
Türkçe altyazı seçeneği ile bunu dinleyebilmeyi talep ediyorum 🙏💙
You used a double negative 😢
What is that first word he says at the very beginning?
Jai Guru Dev, Jai Masters. Jai Guru Dev is a traditional Hindu phrase that means Glory to the Great Teacher (the most accurate translation would be glory to the shining remover of darkness), where the great teacher here is generally considered to be the Divine Soul, while we, as human beings, are considered the individuated Soul. Jai Masters means Glory to the Masters, some of whom Singer refers to at times.
@@SeatsofContemplation Thank you for explaining that to me! I’ve been listening in for quite some time and couldn’t figure it out! I was on Webster dictionary trying to type what I thought I heard
Thank you Mikey . T R U T H
How can I get this translated in French?
You can change the language to French in TH-cam settings. Then on each video, you can select Closed Captioning or view the transcript and they will be in French.
❤🙏❤
Stop the game, this is my experience of life. Pay attention to the unfolding and see what's out of balance. Unfolding is so scary. Working on the disharmony that is. Be open to it when it feels like death.
🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏🪽🪽🪽
How to tell if it's passivity & victimhood or Surrender ?!
He's indirectly telling you that you only suffer because of who you THINK you are.
Blessings! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I wonder if micheal would be so blasé, if he didn’t have his spiritual retreat, the success of his books, his teachings, if no one knew him, and he was sitting on the street panhandling or perhaps in prison, if anyone could do it probably Michael could because he has experience All the success, and now he is old, he has lived his life and he has done it well🙏 for the rest of us having an attitude that life doesn’t matter no matter what you are looking at, it is much more difficult, and much easier to reach these Spiritual ideals when you don’t have to worry about the bills or the kids
If youre interested in hearing Michael touch on a pretty major, heinous event that happened in his life and lasted for years, go to 39:30 of this interview and listen. The really astounding thing if you keep watching is that you'll learn that while his life (by anyone's standards) was being turned upside down, he still managed to write one of his books, The Untethered Soul, that so many have benefited from.

Good morning 😊 I understand where you are coming from, the pressures of life can be daunting
Try go deep and really llisten and grasp what he is teaching,, he doesn't say there won't be storms and bills but you can baton down the hatches through the storm,, rather than yell and scream at the storm, trying to control it
Often we have too many bills because we bought things we wanted and not needed
Loads of self attack by our choices
Having more children than one can afford because of thoughts " I will be a good parent"
No judgement here 😊 just listen,,, he says try not fight life
May you be blessed 🎉
His works are even more important for those in the busiest times of life (raising kids, trying to get bulls paid, mayhe taking care of elderly parents).
Michael has a way with words and the stories he tells keep us interested and attentive. He has so much wisdom to impart.
Keep listening, you will start to understand it doesn't matter what's happening, you CAN enter this peaceful state of mind ❤
Eckhart Tolle did it- kept his bliss & peace 🧘♀️ even during homelessness.. b4 he write ✍️ books 📚 & gained wealth 💰
Who’s choosing to ride the wave? Hahaha
(NO PREFERENCES) The pathless way cannot be accurately explained using words. Words explain what the pathless way is “like,” but cannot explain it precisely. They who live the pathless way do their best to describe how it is lived, but are only able to describe what it is, “like,” which is all words can do.
How does one use words to explain color to a blind person, sound to the deaf, scent to a person with anosmia, taste to one with ageusia, feeling to someone with Peripheral neuropathy? Impossible? Stories and parables attempt to explain, try to bridge the impossible. How does one explain an experience, a way of life, that cannot be explained using mere words? One can’t do it accurately, which is why they who do try to explain use the same words, the best available.
Living (experiencing) the pathless way is “LIKE” these words, but is beyond these words which describe feelings: thankful, at peace, content, happy, joyful, blissful, ecstatic, and simply “I’m OK with my leg falling off, (because that’s what is) and I’m OK with the universe (people, places, and things doing what they do in spite of my best efforts) because THAT’S WHAT IS, and it’s insanity to fight what is because once something IS, it’s in the past and cannot be changed (until later, maybe), but in the meantime, I’m OK. I’m dying here, but I’m OK.
George and Ed were shopping when a bomb went off and both were blown apart, but are momentarily alive. George looks at Ed, and Ed looks at George and their last words to each other were, “Wow! What an awesome experience.” The smiled, laughed and died.
I was chased by a bear. “He’ll get me or he won’t. I have no preference, but I’m running as fast as I can, because I can. I trip. I fall. He’s on top of me. THIS IS AWESOME!” I hear a shot. The bear is dead. OK! oh well, I was OK, either way.
THE END.
Beautiful! Thank you,
Jealousy is a terrible trait for a god to have.
I’m sorry but I’d like to hear him explain further how there is no good or bad. It seems in life there are evils that really happen and people working to alleviate suffering and evil are doing real good. Maybe he’s not talking about that. 🤷♀️
I have heard Mickey say that yes, people do some really bad things, and the reason they do these bad things is because they're not okay inside and somehow they think doing this thing will make them okay.
It’s a perspective on non-duality, in which all is forgiven immediately; in fact, from God’s or Spirit’s or The Universe’s perspective (whatever name you give to that entity) all is known and forgiven long before the act is committed.
Certainly not a common human, time-limited perspective; but (from what I can tell) is the only viewpoint which makes sense from an Everything That Is perspective.
Hurt people hurt people. The “bad” things people do are (almost always) things which have been done to them. Or they are acting out from a place of pain and/or desperation.
I hope this helps!
Think about this words are just sounds, we attach meaning to them. If no one ever told you what good & bad, evil, pure, etc meant you would not assign a perspective (meaning, assumption, value) to things that are called good or bad. We decide what's good or bad based off our socialization of norms, preferences and experiences. If we stop doing that it all becomes things that happen, experiences in this life.
@@HobbesNJoe I have also heard Mickey say that forgiveness is only necessary if you were offended by the thing in the first place. If you are clear of blockages, you are not offended, so there's no place for forgiveness.
If I have a problem with the rain, it's my fault. I have a problem. This terminology is harsh and doesn't land well with me. There is no compassion here- and there's an implied blaming and shaming. This is a very masculine, witness level approach to relating to life, but it's leaving out the feminine, which is to embrace everything with love, welcoming it, including any emotions, resistance or pain.
When you live in mixed weather daily for your life it becomes less of an experience lol. Like rain every day night for months.😂 British weather....
I like what you’ve said and I agree 🙏
What he’s saying is it’s your mind/ your preference - that makes you view rain ☔️ as good or bad..
Rain 🌧️ is not good or bad..
It’s just rain ☔️
I get that - until i see gaza- diesnt hurt me - so no need to send aid or care.
Never heard of him
What about the children dying in thousands in the war, their suffering, the soldiers, the greedyness and totalitarien waves passing through society? The weather you don't have to have a problem with, or everyday incidents. But its very hard to not have a problem with evil. Christ came to teach us how to be humans in a better way. I dont think you go deep enough in your examples.
th-cam.com/video/qP8RUXrfjIM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lWXTXGmIYNRcMsgy
Yes..........IF you have an interest, please read my comment up above and if you have any input, let me know. I completely get doing this weather or other factors like that, but not when you're facing very serious issues? And to me with serious factors, yes, go ahead and accept them, but still take action to make them better. For instance, with the children dying etc..........volunteer in some way or do something that you think will help, but then isn't that "having" a preference? And we are not supposed to have preferences. I really like MS, but most of his teachings fall short like you mentioned up above.
Maybe he's just talking about people that don't have any real problems. The kind of people that make their own problems, even though the have health and are able to have a roof over their head, etc..........they might complain about everything. This video would work wonderfully for them. Yes, we need deeper examples. Hope you're having a good day! Cheers.
Our thoughts create good and bad. Look at a city all created by thoughts. Army’s destroyed cities they are driven by thoughts.
If only we could become aware of our thoughts and make them our servant instead of our masters. Watch what we love and hate before reacting. Are my thoughts my thoughts or are they the thoughts of the news reader. You can breath all week without being conscious of the fact that you our breathing. The same is true for thinking
I agree. Many of Mickey's examples are simplistic. Maybe he's trying to reach a broader audience. But I must admit, when I first started reading Mickey, I began with the "Driver in Front of Me" example and sometimes still I notice myself having thoughts & emotions about that driver in front of me.
It’s not personal
Bullshit
lol 😂
He's indirectly telling you that you only suffer because of who you THINK you are.
