Embracing Life as Your Teacher | The Michael Singer Podcast

The meaning of life is to experience divine ecstasy. How? By allowing consciousness to flow through all experiences without resistance.

The problem is that we often get lost in our preferences, attachments, and aversions, which creates a false sense of self and leads to suffering.

True spiritual growth involves letting go of past psychological blockages by facing life's challenges without inner resistance. This means learning to use every moment as an opportunity for purification and self-realization—in essence, to use life as your guru.

About Michael A. Singer:

Michael A. Singer is the author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Untethered Soul and New York Times bestsellers The Surrender Experiment and Living Untethered, all of which are published worldwide.

In 1975, he founded Temple of the Universe, a now long-established yoga and meditation center where people of any religion or set of beliefs can come together to experience inner peace. He is also the creator of a leading-edge software package that transformed the medical practice management industry, and founding CEO of a billion dollar public company whose achievements are archived in the Smithsonian Institution.
