Episode notes
Birth As A Healing Mission
- Michael Singer says the single purpose of birth is to release stored blockages so your energy can rise.
- You should aim to go back up with less baggage than you came down with.
Personality Is Layered Memory
- Singer explains personality equals inherited samskaras plus learned experiences layered on top.
- That means psychological patterns often predate current life and shape reactions.
Spiritual Progress Persists
- Singer cites the Bhagavad Gita to show spiritual gains persist across lifetimes and training can place you in favorable conditions next time.
- Spiritual progress accumulates even if full liberation isn't reached now.
