Navigating the Ocean of Life | The Michael Singer Podcast

Like a boat sailing on the sea, there are two significant forces guiding our journey through life: the natural forces all around us and the practical skills needed to reach our destinations. Here, Michael Singer explores the essentials for making our way on the spiritual path.

About The Michael Singer Podcast:

Join the New York Times bestselling author of The Untethered Soul, The Surrender Experiment, and Living Untethered for this free series of curated teaching sessions, recorded at his Temple of the Universe yoga and meditation center.

Meet Your Host Michael A. Singer:

Michael A. Singer is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Untethered Soul, The Surrender Experiment, Living Untethered, and many popular Sounds True programs including the Living from a Place of Surrender online course. In 1971, while pursuing his doctoral work in economics, he experienced a deep inner awakening and went into seclusion to focus on yoga and meditation. In 1975, he founded Temple of the Universe, a center where people of any religion or set of beliefs can come together to experience inner peace.

For me, this presentation elucidates Michael Singer's previous teaching rather than contradicting or muddying it as some seem to have perceived. In this analogy, think of freeing yourself from the "small-mind" thinking that keeps you going nowhere, simply avoiding pain and seeking pleasure. When you are in small-mind mode, your sailboat is tethered. When you free yourself from that modality, you become untethered and can sail toward your polestar.

Mr. Singer is the personification of 'clarity'. Thank you for your digestible wisdom 🙏

Yeah, episode three! ❤ Micheal Singer's way of teaching the Universal has been touching my heart and changing my life since a year now. This podcast did it for me!

[matthewkennedy]

For anyone confused, I believe the ‘polestar’ is referring to is achieving high inner states, rather than anything external.

I so needed to hear this today. Next year hitting my lean fire goal after 12 years of working towards it. My lower self feels like an animal stuck in a trap trying to gnaw its leg off to escape lol. So I am listening to this again to help steady the ship. Thank you Michael you helped another soul.

At 45 this was extremely painful to contemplate on. But like he said time is irrelevant. I always struggled with feeling selfish when trying to achieve goals and now there is no polestar. Ridding my mind of anger and addiction was my polestar but now that this phyche is balanced I'm just existing, letting the wind take me wherever and I'm just open and accepting of what arises.

Imagine my delight the day I learned that this shakti he talks about is not boring or exciting -it doesn’t want more or less of anything and when you feel it you know it’s always been there and always will be.
My first experience of it was brief but profound and pursuing it through these talks, meditation and not making anything in my life more difficult is the most worthwhile goal I can have.

I have read all of Michael’s books and watched and digested his YouTubes numerous times. I respect his insight a lot. There are a lot of nuggets, but on most of his teachings he states “you think you can control what’s happening. You can’t! It has nothing to do with you! E.g. rains on your wedding day). So let it go.” But on this video he mentions several times about balancing control and waiting in order to steer the course to the pole star. This is contradictory to his previous messages. Also he kept saying find your direction. If things happen because they just happen as he has said and have nothing to do with us, how do you determine a direction when the message is to accept what is or surrender to it?

Thank you, Sounds True, these talks are so full of wisdom and encouragement. I listen again and again and always get something new. This talk was particularly powerful.

[arch_andrewscott]

This is totally consistent with the Surrender Experiment. For those who disagree, think about what Michael’s goal was when he first moved to the forest and started meditating - that was his ultimate life goal. The other stuff that happened in his life were just the currents and wind helping him arrive at his destination. They also happened as a result of him not listening to his “lower self” along the way. Watch the Oprah interview for a better understanding 😊

[Jehna]

Thank you SO MUCH for hosting this Sounds True and Thank you Michael for your teachings. Every time I listen to any of your teachings, I feel myself less and less tethered; like a zebra loosing or unwinding its strips...simply unwinding it all.

So joyful the universe brought me to this channel
