Michael Singer - Taking Charge of Your Mind 

The teachings arrive exactly at the right time, in my experience / opinion. The experiences you had over the last 20 years would not have taught you what they taught you, had you known this back then. You wouldn't be you. The lessons arrive to meet you here, now, to expand your soul-self and allow it to grow in the unique way it must.

Thank you

Wouldn’t he say be grateful for your toothache too? 😉

To be grateful for a non toothache would be using the mind. Michael talks about something that is already within that when awareness is focused on brings consciousness to experience itself. The energy of Shakti moving unimpeded is much greater than being grateful for not having a toothache. Being grateful for not experiencing something cannot be equal or greater to something that you are experiencing that the distractions of the thoughts of the mind and the feelings of the heart pulls the awareness away from experiencing a much higher vibration. What does Michael say about 100% lost?

@@richardhart2291 I believe he means to say 'live in gratitude' within.

Can u simplify😂

You raise a true and valid point. I've wondered at times if the "listener" is not just a separate personality of mind, that has been trained, through spiritual learning and enquiry of the kind that Singer teaches and that I personally first came across in Advaita Vedanta, to be silent and observe. There are so many arguments that are made for the existence of the intangible soul in all these traditions, but I have never seen proof it exists, while I have seen quite clearly the power of my mind (me?) to hallucinate and create states of being through thought and imagination that befuddle me (my mind?). It seems to me that if there is a separate conscious soul in me, that really only becomes relevant when I (my mind?) dies because then there is something to extend the continuity of my existence since it is assumed that the mind does not survive death. Yet, I do not have any evidence that soul, spirituality, mind, any word you could use to describe these attributes that in effect make up my personality, and certainly not my body, survive death. 😂

Michael Singer, Sadhguru, Osho, Alan Watts, and our own "spiritual" experiences, will have to do. Thanks for your feedback. tom. @@AdrianMark

That is indeed an interesting question. I know that there is a higher Self (beyond mind) because of meditation. The mind ceases to be, so what’s left? The soul. It is not created, it has always been. Last week I listened to the book Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. Most mind blowing book I’ve ever come across. It answers what the soul is and what happens before and after death. The descriptions are beyond what I think any mind could come up with. The soul is having the mind experience. Cheers

Sounds like someone’s mind is on overdrive this am? 😉
