Episode notes
You Are The Continuous Witness
- You are a continuous conscious presence that experiences everything between birth and death.
- Recognizing that “you’re in there” is the foundational spiritual insight Michael Singer emphasizes.
Consciousness Is Distinct From Its Objects
- Consciousness perceives objects yet remains distinct from them when not pulled in.
- Patanjali’s teaching: even dreamless sleep is a peaceful state of consciousness, not absence of it.
Identification Pulls You Down
- The problem is not that you feel pain or pleasure, it's that you identify with those objects.
- Getting pulled into objects of consciousness is what Singer calls the 'fall from the garden.'
