Explore witness consciousness with bestselling author Michael A. Singer
There is a place deep within your being where you are free from the turmoil of thoughts, emotions, and the outer world. This is the seat of the witness consciousness, and from here your spiritual journey will unfold with effortless clarity and grace.
In The Untethered Soul Lecture Series, Volume 3: The Clarity of Witness Consciousness, Michael A. Singer lays out the basic nature of the World, the Mind, the Heart, and You-the consciousness that experiences these things. He then paves a clear path to achieving this transcendent state.
By exploring the nature of reality from the view of the witness, Singer will help you understand that you are neither the thoughts in your mind nor the feelings in your heart-your true self is witnessing both. "Once you see the true nature of the outer world and your inner energies," teaches Singer, "witness consciousness is revealed."
Here you will explore:
• How the world around you actually has nothing to do with you
• The programmable nature of both your mind and your heart
• The unconscious ways your past learning influences your life
• Learning to "handle your heart"-one of the greatest gifts of the spiritual journey
• The two main ways people try to "fix" themselves, and why neither ever works
• Watching the dance of the energies that affect you-and being comfortable with whatever arises
• The natural unfolding of true yoga that occurs when you rest in witness consciousness
When you can see the ways in which both internal and external energies take you off center, you can better understand how to pull back from their influence. With this audio program, Singer will help you begin to unravel the numerous constructs that create your false sense of self, so you can experience the freedom and stillness of your truest and most natural state. Michael A. Singer, author of The Untethered Soul, helps us to unravel the constructs that create the false sense of self, and to rediscover the transcendent witness consciousness.

Honoring and Respecting Reality

Part of the Untethered Soul Lecture series
Out of the confines of your mind and into the full experience of all creation
"Reality is an immense and holy gift," reflects Michael A. Singer. "There are billions of things happening in the universe right now, and what do we do? We make a tiny list and tell ourselves that 'unless these five things happen, I'll be miserable!' This is the cause of all unhappiness-the inability to accept creation for what it is."
But there is a way out, reveals Singer: rather than trying to control your world, choose to rest in consciousness-in the awareness independent of your thoughts and feelings. Then, fully experience and serve every moment unfolding before you.
"When you let go of yourself," he teaches, "you are no longer an instrument of your mind and what it creates-worry, fear, burden, and suffering. Instead, you become an instrument in the manifestation of life. Free of mind, you dance with the present."
In this audio learning session, listeners join the acclaimed author of The Untethered Soul as he guides us back to the state of pure, joyful experience. Along the way, you'll explore:
• The freedom of non-judgment
• Surfing the waves of life, rather than being surfed by them
• How to be spontaneous and present-where we enjoy and excel at whatever we do
• Why we want to control reality rather than simply experience it
• Attuning to the consciousness of the greater Self
• How to release unwanted fears and needs
• The heart as a symphony of fascinating feelings
• Learning to reconnect with life, and much more
For both those new and familiar with Michael A. Singer's work, The Untethered Soul Lecture Series, Volume 7: Honoring and Respecting Reality expands upon his books to help us emerge out of the dark cell of the personal mind and into the expansive wonder awaiting just beyond its walls. The author of The Untethered Soul invites us to shed the unreality of the limited mind and fully experience the greatest gift of all-this expansive universe, created for our wonder and delight.

Freedom from the Mind

Get out of your head and into the present moment with the teachings of Michael Singer
Why is it that even amidst exquisite beauty and happy circumstances we can still find reasons to be miserable? According to Michael A. Singer, the culprit is something nearly everyone struggles with: the constant monologue in our heads.
In The Untethered Soul Lecture Series, Volume 2: Freedom from the Mind, Singer considers the many ways an unwatched mind can sabotage your life. When observed and understood, the mind is a powerful resource for creation. However, a mind left to its own devices can cause unchecked pain. Indeed, according to Singer, this is the real source of suffering: being unable to distinguish thoughts of attraction, attachment, and judgment from the truth of the present moment.
Fortunately, there are proven methods for recognizing the course of thoughts and emotions as they flow through the mind. Here Singer details not only the ways in which the mind can hijack your reality, but also the practices and attitudes necessary for extracting yourself from attachment to thoughts.
Here you will discover:
• The power of affirmations-for good and ill
• Why attachment to outcomes overshadows your ability to live in the moment
• The constantly unfolding nature of the universe
• The privilege of being a living witness to creation
• Why most thoughts are illusions and can be safely ignored
• How to notice when you are slipping back into conditioned thought patterns
• What to do when you're hijacked by thoughts of lack or desire
• Why the thought, "I like this," can be even more detrimental than, "I don't like this"
• The surprisingly complicated roots of suffering
At once gentle and direct, deeply considered and humorous, Singer's teachings point to a life lived entirely in the present moment. With his guidance, you will learn how to sweep away the illusory trappings of the mind and embrace all the joy, absurdity, challenges, and splendor that the world has to offer. Our minds hijack the true experience of reality-but we can get back to the profound joy of the present moment. The renowned author of The Untethered Soul reveals how.

The Power of Inner Clarity

Part of the Untethered Soul Lecture series
Teachings to transcend the noisy mind and act in alignment with your deepest self
It's natural to see chaos, cruelty, or injustice and want to take immediate action to find a solution. But is that really your best course of action?
Michael A. Singer, the bestselling author of The Untethered Soul, asserts that when you seek to change conditions in the outer world, you're often doing so not with clear eyes, but with knee-jerk outrage, disgust, or anxiety. If you attach yourself to the first emotion you feel in a situation, the action you take to correct it will almost certainly be counterproductive.
In The Untethered Soul Lecture Series, Volume 10: The Power of Inner Clarity, Singer demonstrates that in order to comprehend the truth of a situation and act to serve the highest good, you must look past the noisy mind and its habitual reactions. When you connect with who you truly are-the indwelling consciousness-nothing can obscure perfect clarity. Once you are established in that fundamental seat of awareness, you'll see that every moment is asking something of you. In turn, you will naturally interact with life from a place of lucidity and right action.
In this volume of the continuing Untethered Soul Lecture Series, you will discover:
• Why the problem you're focusing on isn't personal
• The gift 13.8 billion years in the making
• Why acceptance of the reality of a situation is the bedrock of real solutions
• The futility of imposing your wants and grievances upon reality
• How to both detach from and deeply appreciate your moment-to-moment experience
• Why blind reactions only exacerbate karmic feedback
• Recognizing the openings for right action
• How to deal skillfully with the noise of the mind
• Small exercises for practicing acceptance of the present moment
• How to shift perspective so moments of difficulty become moments of enjoyment
Here, Singer reveals that even though our modern world is highly complex, it's still possible to live life from a place of inner peace and clarity. Sometimes, good intentions are not enough. Here, Michael A. Singer helps us to transcend the noise of the mind, comprehend the truth of any situation, and serve the highest good.

"Once I have a loving partner, I'll be happy. And also a better career. And more money. And spiritual enlightenment . . ."

Release into your natural state of well-being with bestselling author Michael A. Singer
When was the last time you felt free from the burdens of stress and tension? Is it really possible to live your everyday life in a state of complete well-being? How would you even attain such a state?
These are the questions bestselling author Michael A. Singer explores in The Untethered Soul Lecture Series, Volume 6: Letting Go into Freedom and Fulfillment. Throughout this volume, Singer shares that the peace we seek is already within us-we just need to let go and allow it to naturally unfold.
So what is it that prevents us from resting in our natural state of freedom and fulfillment all the time? In his clear, no-nonsense style, Singer explains how we lose ourselves in our thoughts and emotions-we become so fixated on ending our internal struggles that we inadvertently become caught by them. The key is to let go of the entire inner battle and relax into our natural state.
Here you will explore:
• How most of us go through life constantly reacting to whatever comes up
• Remaining centered, conscious, and clear vs. trapped by delusion, confusion, and illusion
• The ripples of your thoughts and emotions will always be there-how can you handle them?
• Letting go of preferences and dropping into true objectivity
• The human tendency to complicate very simple things
• How thinking you can control things causes stress-because you really can't control much at all
• The misunderstood state of witness consciousness and what it truly means
In this remarkably lucid presentation, Singer teaches you to be at peace with both life's events and the reactions they stir up in your mind and emotions. There is a way to enjoy unconditional freedom, if you're willing to do the inner work. In a world full of chaos and challenges, how do we return to our natural state of well-being? Bestselling author Michael A. Singer lights the way to freedom and fulfillment.
