E183: The Impersonal Nature of Reality

About this episode

The episode discusses how the personal mind creates suffering by resisting reality and emphasizes the importance of aligning with life as it unfolds.

The personal mind creates suffering by taking everything personally and forming preferences about how life should be. In truth, life’s events are the outcomes of vast chains of cause and effect stretching through time and space. Suffering arises when we deny the reality of these causes and resist the events that are unfolding before us, as well as those that have unfolded in the past. Spiritual liberation comes from learning to align with reality as it is and then working to raise it as it passes before us. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2026 Michael A. Singer.
