Michael Singer - Being Done - The Path to Freedom

[@taniaargiri5578]

Each time, I listen to this man, I come closer to Truth. I see more clear my entanglements. What a process....Thank you for posting, thank you Mike. Life changing teachings.

[@senitastillwell5040]

Me too🙋🏾‍♀️❤! Such a manifest blessing 🙏🏽

Feel like it’s crystal clear what you are saying yet have to be reminded again and again but I got it, deep inside, and I feel so much more comfortable with the hardships the last several years of my old life and it’s almost, well, fun to challenge some of them now and I can almost laugh at some of them too when it happens I feel stronger than my mind who is causing me the hardships. I learned so much from you Michael S. and Eckhart T. and several other spiritual teachers, and what more I really like the humor we can use, like you do, as a tool to see through the never ending mind traps coming and it makes me feel powerful 😊 Every day I bow to the floor to thank for my life and I like doing that, deep from my heart ❤ I feel loved and I love ❤️ Wishing all and everyone wisdom and love and God’s blessings ❤

Not my ego but something inside wants me to listen and practice to be one with all. Thanks for your guiding Michael 🙏🏼

Towards the end …… I became struck. What words , really 🙏🙏

[@MegaMonk1992]

This idea: attachment to preferences forces us into manipulating for those preferred outcomes …this reinforced a the “I” who is the do’er.

I miss leaves because of their beauty and the Oxygen that they produce ! i think most people are just trying to create a level of comfortable survival in this chaotic world that has been created by Man . 😢

Is that tree frogs in the background? How peaceful.

[@GratefulZen]

So what about attempts to reduce suffering by social action or intervening when someone is harming another?

[@Kali.245]

What about preferences to foods or drinks… coffee vs tea or to be a vegetarian etc … have no preferences in all aspects?

[@eliethia_munay]

@Kali.245 - Awareness of why you prefer/like/dislike is key. 🗝️

[@richardhart2291]

Yes. Hard to imagine, right. The question would be, who has the preferences? Not consciousness/seat of self.

[@SeatsofContemplation]

I've heard Mickey say, if you prefer Coke over Pepsi, absolutely order Coke, just don't get disturbed if they bring you a Pepsi.

A boy pushed my sister. I did not want him to push my sister. I was not OK with him pushing my sister. But I decided to let it be, to let life do its thing, to let the boy do his dance, because I was through, no longer a doer. I had no preferences. I was free. My sister had to go to the hospital. No problem. I was free.

[@richardhart2291]

@@Wacky-World That is not what Mickey means by having no preference. He talks about making choices to try and be more comfortable inside by using something outside. Would not defending someone not capable of defending themself make you comfortable inside, or cause a disturbance?

[@Wacky-World]

@@richardhart2291 Constrained by words. Never-the-less, we all have preferences, even Michael Singer, and to modify "no preferences" changes its meaning. Better it would be to not say "no preferences," and instead say, "CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCES AND BE OK WITH WHAT HAPPENS, AND WITH THE OUTCOME. Obviously potential experiences appear in front of a person and a choice is made, thus preferences. Whatever a person chooses to do, stay comfortable inside during the process, and with the outcome. That's how I live my life. I'm OK inside, no matter what happens outside. And obviously Singer teaches to prefer being comfortable inside.

May I say no action is also an action. Micky tells the following story, too... I found this story for you.... It was shared in 1988 when Bill Moyes interviewed Josheph Campbell. I trust you will appreciate the layers. JOSEPH CAMPBELL: I will participate in the game. It’s a wonderful, wonderful opera, except that it hurts. And that wonderful Irish saying, you know, “Is this a private fight, or can anybody get into it?” This is the way life is, and the hero is the one who can participate in it decently, in the way of nature, not in the way of personal rancor, revenge or anything of the kind. Let me tell you one story here, of a samurai warrior, a Japanese warrior, who had the duty to avenge the murder of his overlord. And he actually, after some time, found and cornered the man who had murdered his overlord. And he was about to deal with him with his samurai sword, when this man in the corner, in the passion of terror, spat in his face. And the samurai sheathed the sword and walked away. Why did he do that? BILL MOYERS: Why? JOSEPH CAMPBELL: Because he was made angry, and if he had killed that man then, it would have been a personal act, of another kind of act, that’s not what he had come to do. The samurai’s mission was not simply to kill the murderer, but to honor his master and fulfill his duty. Killing the murderer out of anger would not have fulfilled the intrinsic call of his duty. To an observer, whether he killed the culprit motivated by honor or anger, it wouldn’t have mattered. The murderer would be dead either way. But to the samurai, his own motivation made all the difference. He needed a crystal clear answer for why he was taking action, and a reactive response out of anger would not only be dishonorable, it would negate the reason for his quest. You can choose your response. You can observe an unhelpful emotion take hold, but you don’t have to react. You always can choose to act in a way that honors the vision of the person you truly want to be. Nothing is just a means to an end. Every action is an end in itself. The path is the destination, right? It’s the journey that matters.

[@richardhart2291]

@@Wacky-World You are criticizing Michael? No clue how you know what any other persons motivation or internal experience is. No, a choice is not a preference, unless it is made to make something uncomfortable comfortable. To choose a food is not a preference to satisfy hunger, unless used for emotional satisfaction when stressed. You have just demonstrated your preference, not Michael’s.

[@richardhart2291]

@@Wacky-World Actually, Michael teaches to understand what creates discomfort inside, who is experiencing discomfort? The energy of disturbances interferes with the flow of Shakti.
