Experiencing Love and Joy Instead of Fear and Desire | The Michael Singer Podcast

"When your personal self isn't taking over," teaches Michael Singer, "your heart is full and your mind is clear." So what stops this from happening? Our fears and our desires.

In this episode, Michael shows us how to replace the never-ending pursuit of what you think will make you OK with that which will actually fill you with unconditional love and joy.

'Enjoy the pain of too much love, be totally open to the experience you're having'
Wow, that's an eye opener🙏

[Jason-usye]

Yep, this man speaks words that resonate - "I am NOT going to live the life of avoiding my fears and chasing my desires"

I only came across MS teachings a few weeks ago and goodness me the pearls of wisdom I've gained from his direct simple teaching style is a true blessing. Striving for the Great State will forever be my daily pray. Thank you Michael 🙏

“The only thing you’re renouncing is your inability to handle what’s there”

“I want to be free from this cloud of my personal self so that I can see beyond directly into the Sun.”

“You wake up in the morning, regardless of what you’re feeling, it doesn’t matter; and you say ‘The day is going to unfold, that’s a guarantee, what I am going to use this day for… is handling what happens. That’s my only job today”
Can I handle what happens? Can I handle what my mind says about what happens? Can I handle how my heart feels about what my mind says about what happens? 😆

Brilliance!!! Radiance!!! Blessings fam!

This just popped up in my timeline as I was listening!

"You will recognize that you have returned to your natural state by a complete absence of all desire and fear. After all, at the root of all desire and fear is the feeling of not being what you are Just as a dislocated joint pains only as long as it is out of shape, and is forgotten as soon as it is set right, so is all self-concern a symptom of mental distortion which disappears as soon as one is in the normal state."

What an episode... all the spiritual wisdom that one needs for a fulfilling, happy life in 59 minutes. Thank you, Michael, and Sounds True

[vassy]

No one explained so clearly on how to do! Everyone says you should be like this and that, but it's in the simple things on how you do that and practice which makes a huge difference. I'm so grateful for this episode that I was even able to listen and comprehend what he was saying tells that I'm in the right path and this divine guidance is a gift for everyone in this path. Thank you Micheal for this beautiful words. 💜

I am so very grateful for you Michael Singer and your teachings 🙏❤️

[sandythomas]

Thank you for speaking on fear. It took a seat in me as a child and when it walked in it owned me all my life. Now I see and I hear your words.

He is a genuine Master, one of a kind. To the ones looking for a living Guru, he might be their only choice. Still inhabiting a mortal vessel, exemplifies the essence of a jivanmukta, akin to those revered figures we have encountered within the sacred scriptures. Expressing gratitude towards such an enlightened being entails not merely words of appreciation but the continual practice of his teachings in every fleeting moment of our lives.
