Unraveling the Ego: Returning to Pure Awareness | The Michael Singer Podcast
Consciousness is the fundamental essence of your being, distinct from the physical and psychological objects it is conscious of. But your conscious awareness gets so distracted by external objects, thoughts, and emotions, that it becomes identified with them. This identification forms the ego, the false sense of “I.” The spiritual path involves letting go of distractions and false identifications in order to remain in the true “seat of self,” a state of pure awareness and joy. The ultimate realization is reconnecting with the source of consciousness, leading to unity with the divine and a life of peace and ecstasy.

I woke up this morning with the sun shining through (my window blinds).. Lying there, I remembered being 7 or 8 yrs old, waking up mornings with the sun shining through my window .. with a sense and feeling of happiness and "excitement" - of just being there "aware" (present) in the morning of a new day 🙂..

Hello Michael Thank you for all your audios, and 'I can handle it' Mantra you use. Paramhansa Yogananda used a variety of meditation techniques, including the Hong-Sau, So Ham technique, the AUM technique, Please could you talk more about various meditation mantras, breathing etc. And why are they all different and how do you stay in the Seat of Consciousness so you don't get drawn in to the thoughts that Bother you. Would be very interested if you can talk and clarify how these spiritual gurus achieved self realization through their Techniques. Would be very helpful to everyone. Thank you.

Couldn't the Transmission we feel around awakened people be our Mirror Neurons firing? Mirror neurons help us understand each other by allowing us to "simulate" the actions and emotions of others in our own brains, essentially letting us experience what they are experiencing by activating the same neural pathways as if we were performing the action ourselves, which facilitates empathy and allows for intuitive understanding of others' behaviors and intentions.

You know the saying "your soul drops down into your body when your born" .. I feel like that right after waking up, a lot .. I guess "the trick" is to Not Impulsively (habitually) immediately Cling to (whatever ritual need) distractions to "ease the sense of anxiety or immediate need" .. Relax, breathe, focus / refocus on "Being, being aware, being Present" 🙂..
