Episode notes
Outside Events Don't Determine Your Inside
- Michael A. Singer teaches that inside and outside are separate: the outside doesn't determine your inner state unless you store it inside.
- He emphasizes spiritual awakening as letting outside experiences pass through instead of keeping impressions.
Let Experiences Flow Rather Than Store Them
- A great being doesn't store upsetting experiences but allows them to pass through via the senses.
- Singer contrasts suppression with letting experiences flow so they leave no lasting impression.
Stop Making The Outside Your Source Of Safety
- Do not control outside experiences to feel okay inside; instead stop attaching your inner well-being to external outcomes.
- Singer says attempting to control relationships, money, or status ties the outside to your inside and creates suffering.
