Super Soul Sunday S3E4 'Oprah and Michael Singer: The Untethered Soul' | Full Episode | OWN

After reading this book I was in a state of bliss for 2 weeks. I have truly been awakened to what spiritual growth is.. For my birthday my family and friends visited the temple of the universe and had the pleasure of meeting Michael and his community. Everyone was so welcoming.. Thank you Michael

I’ve said to myself many times “stop breaking your own heart” . . .

Who else loves this guy ❤

This is by far the best and clearest description of the Buddha Dharma I have yet to hear and read without mentioning Buddha or Dharma. Michael describes his suffering (dukah) and its main culprit the "conditioned self" which manifests as the (illusory) voice/person in the head. Craving something pleasurable not present, trying to hold onto something pleasurable which is now disappearing or resisting something un-pleasurable which is now appearing IS the fundamental drama called by some "the human condition". In this condition, we live reactive rather than responsive lives and here lies the seeds of war, racism, enslavement, colonization, economic disparity, misogyny, etc. Rain clouds appear in the sky and it rains. Meanwhile the ever-present sky contains these passing clouds. The rain falls and the sky NEVER gets wet. Thoughts are like clouds which appear and disappear in our "mind-scape", our SELF is the ever-present sky. The human condition is fundamentally about conflating the SELF with the clouds (referred to as "delusion" in the Buddha Dharma) which is by its very nature a reactive scenario. We are never not the sky. I truly cherish what Michael Singer has arrived at here and how it confirms the validity of the Buddha Dharma. "The Untethered Soul " is really and truly a spiritual gem and a valid path. I was first moved into the Dharma path after reading a book titled "Be An Island: The Buddhist Practice of Inner Peace" by the late Ayya Khema (her other writings are equally clear, direct and powerful). I don't know if Oprah reads these comment, in any case I want to thank you for the priceless and transformative work you do!!!

Has anyone else noticed that the Enemy (forces of fear and darkness) always fights the hardest when God (Spirit, The Divine, etc.) has something wonderful and amazing in store for you? Soooooo happy to hear that he "powered through" his issue and came out the other side POWERFULLY & SUPERNATURALLY BLESSED ❤️.

This is a real gem of a book, I can't praise it highly enough. Thank you Michael Singer for writing this brilliant book. Soon as I read the synopsis, I knew this was the book I've been searching for, probably my whole life without realising it.

When people ask me if I am associated with a church..I say, YES!! Super Soul Sunday!🤗🤗🤗

Ramana Maharshi asked the same questions. What is wonderful is to hear those teachings expressed in a way that modem Western people can understand.

I’m thankful that Oprah produces the segments for us to learn from. I kind of wish she wouldn’t interrupt the speaker and talk so much because it’s the speaker who I really want to learn from. I have a lot to learn from Oprah, but I’ve been watching her for 25 years, and I wanna see somebody new tell me things!!

I had the good fortune to sit with Mickey at The Temple of the Universe weekly while I was going to school, 24 years ago. He is a wonderful, authentic and sincere teacher. Om Shanti

I love the book. I was meant to be in your presence today listening to you and Michael. Today is my rebirth. Thank you Michael and Oprah.

Fear is a part of life. Most of life is learning to 'stay calm' rather than panic...no matter how real or imagined the fear is.

I remember listening to this interview on the Super Soul Podcast, years ago, thinking I had some sort of clue on the topic. Years later, many events later, and having recently finished his book, only now I am starting to have a tiny bit of clue as to what this type of growth implies. And it feels quite life changing, it feels like a new beginning. Thank you so so so much for this wonderful and insightful interview. It is doing a lot for me. I might have never found his book if it wasnt for this interview. As someone wrote in this comment section "I have been searching for this book my entire life, without knowing it," and that may convey a fraction of what I feel after reading The Untethered Soul.

I Love you Michael A. Singer. You changed my life forever. Guruji ❤

A miracle just happened to me Oprah! I was packing my library books to move to another place. I came across Michael Singer’s book. I don’t remember when I bought the book. “Untethered Soul”. I looked at the book and I put the book on top of the pile of the books. I saw you on my iPad and saw you and Michael Singer. I definitely know that I needed to read the book today. I really think a miracle happened here because I was feeling a overwhelmed. He also has 52-card Deck.blessings to you both.

I never read this book and I just started watching this interview, but this is exactly how I’ve been feeling for the last 2 1/2 years. I walk around and talk to people but they don’t seem to understand that what I’m saying it’s real. But this is confirmation 😊

Instead of following fake gurus just read "the untethered soul".this is an amazing book. this literally changes ur lives.this is a must read book.

this book open new world for me, there was time when i read this book I realize me and my thought is seperate thing. It s wonderful experience it happen then I feel peaceful and after that I m able to let it go of many things in my life. Thank you Micheal Singer

Just heard of Michael Singer for first time yesterday. Found this on YouTube with Oprah Winfrey! I like Oprah. She cracks me up in a good way. Her expressions and intense dialogue with Michael Singer reveal her vulnerability and perk into her inner-child. Enjoyed this show. Today is March 20 2023. I see this show was broadcast 2012.
