Michael Singer - Experiencing Love and Joy Instead of Fear and Desire

💠Last 4 minutes of this talk: So how does one reach the great state? By letting go of the power that the mind, the heart, and the world have over their consciousness. How does one do that? By permitting it all to be and you being fine with how it is. You just keep letting go. You let go. You don't control. A final clue: What are you letting go of? You're letting go of the pull. You're not even letting go of the mind; you're not letting go of the world. There is a pull on the shakti—that is how the world pulls your consciousness into it. It has this magic. It's Maya, they call it. Maya. And when the mind says something, you'll see there's this pull. It's like an energy pull, like a magnetic pull that draws the consciousness into the mind and the heart. You really feel that, right? When the heart starts to feel, it pulls you into it, yes or no? You have to get pulled into it. That is what you're letting go of. You're letting go of the pull. How do you let go of the pull? Those of you who are into physics understand that for something to have power, it has to be attached to two ends. It has to pull on one end, and somebody has to be holding on the other. Otherwise, it just pulls, but nobody goes. You understand that to have a tug-of-war, both sides need to be pulling. One side lets go, there's no tug-of-war. You're the other side. I don't want you to even deal on the side where your energy is attached to the world. I want you to deal on the side of the self. Somehow you're holding on to the rope. A thought comes, so it comes, so it goes. Who cares? You're holding onto the rope of that thought; therefore, it's pulling you. The heart emotes: jealousy, fear, insecurity. You are holding on to the other end of that rope. Otherwise, the heart makes it, and it just goes by itself. 🔹Let go at that level and wait to see what happens. You will end up in a place that is so beautiful. You don't have to do anything. There is no act of will after this. Your last act of will that you will ever, ever be involved in is the releasing of where you're holding on, which is deep in the self. And from that point forward, you will get sucked up, and all you have to do is take the ride. There's no will, there's no decisions, there's no discrimination, there's no right, there's no wrong, there's no good, there's no bad, there's no better, there's no—there's nothing left. And you just get sucked up. Where? That's for you to explore. Where do you come from? What is the nature of self? Who is the indwelling being who is seeing all this? Now you're getting into mysticism. I told you spirituality is it, and it leads to the ultimate. This is the journey that a great being takes, and the teaching we just had. Every minute of your life is for the purpose of this. You're not leaving anything. You see that. It's all teaching you to do this. So that's the oneness, the beauty of the true spiritual life.🔹 So, if I have but one life to live, heck, if I'm wasting it avoiding my fears and trying to fulfill my desires, we already went through that, didn't we? Taking you back. You are a great being. You get to live a great life, and there's nothing stopping you but you. Jai Guru Dev💠

My a.m. prayer: “I accept everything that happens today with grace and gratitude.”

Michael I have no words for the magical way you teach. I Love your spirit, eternally grateful 🙏

Hanging on to life by listening to these. Thank you for giving hope

Lost in ‘disturbance’…👀! Reacting to EVERYTHING! Practice makes perfect 🙏

I always hear something new in these talks. ❤

When in pain or fear lovingly sit with that part❤that simple

No longer ‘bothered’ Celebrating inner ease Happens naturally❣️

The passing picture… WATCHING thoughts & feelings Without ATTACHMENT 👀

❤Good stuff here ❤️Thank you 😊

I don't subscribe to this definition of 'desire'. I feel 'desire' more as a state of curiosity. I want to 'know' my experience and 'feel' all that there is to 'feel' about it. If you are absent of desire as I define it then you would never progress in life. The only reason a child learns how to walk and talk is this foundational curious desire to do what it observes others doing or even instinctually becomes aware of what can be done in pure potential. I feel that pure desire is essential to true consciousness.

Love!!! So Powerful.

THANK YOU for your generosity in teaching, talking, & showing us how to dismantle the thoughts, emotions & fears that “seem” to PULL & Pull. Your graciousness is a huge blessing in my life & to the many people you who need a hand to help them untie the “tether”!

This gentleman is incredible

Wow micheal you've taken me on a beautiful understanding of how to truly love myself ❤thank u 🙏

What if you are afraid of your desires 😢

The second best day of your life is when you buy a new boat. The best day of your life is when you sell it. A year later you want another boat. This cycle of looking for happiness in external things is stupid

Gratitude

Our education systems do not fill us with facts 😂

Thank you so much, as always!❤❤❤
