Episode notes
Why The Psyche Becomes Fragmented
- Your psyche fragments because you repeatedly shove disturbing experiences down instead of letting them pass through.
- Michael A. Singer explains layers of being form when you resist feelings, creating competing 'selves' that later fight for expression.
Stop Adding New Rocks To Your Psyche
- Stop storing new disturbances and practice letting go of everyday irritations as spiritual practice.
- Singer recommends treating small triggers like drivers or rain as scale practice to avoid adding more "rocks" to your psyche.
Don't Fix Inside Problems With Outside Changes
- Don’t try to fix inner fragmentation by changing external circumstances; inner work must address the blocked energy.
- Singer warns relationships, jobs, or makeovers only mask starving parts and will eventually fail.
