After studying and living with the teaching of Michael Singer what meditation do you do? Do you meditate at all or you just remember his teachings, live with it, everyday?
Thanks for the answers
I am not really interested in Manifestation, my only concern whether the book can help me in my spiritual path. I am living with Douglas Harding's Headless way (For those who don't know, it basically living with pure awareness, giving up the idea of physical head to live in a naked awarenes).
Now the problem is I believe in middle path. Without extremes, not going to pain and believe it's all there is, and chasing bliss, thinking it will erase the pain. I believe that the two is different side of the same coin.
I also have responsibilities, duties to my family and myself. I want to live without polishing my identity my every waking life. I want to live, do my duty-with pain or bliss- with peace.
Will the book of Joe Dizpenza Becoming Supernatural will help me? Thanks for the reply.
Hi! I want to fast in using my phone and just focus on studying spiritual teachings. But the problem is I don't have the physical copy (book) and so I rely on softcopy in my phone. Now, after reading for a short time (10 - 15 minutes) my mind will wander off and I will found myself watching YouTube or it will start in browsing about the topic I am reading and then I will be lost and will instead search about topic that doesn't have connection about what I am reading.
What can I do to my situation? Please help.
How can someone who is integratings Tolle's teaching can do his responsibilities? Because of my pursuit of spiritual growth, sometimes I forget about my responsibilities.
My responsibilities for my parents, my responsibilities to make sure to train and improve my body and mind (intellectual). It's not they became less important for me. It's just that, I pursue them though not like my pursuit of spiritual growth (I can do them though when I forget or some other reason, it's not that important unlike before).
What should I do?
Hi! Everyone! I want to help my parents and work to make sure that everything they did for me is not wasted. I want to help my siblings (though finding a wife and building a family isn't in my mind right now).
Though even all of that, I don't want to make my identity with all of it. I want to see my parents smile, became proud of me, I want to help my siblings, as an older brother, help them when they needed, though there is something in me that want these things in a loose manner. That I will live even if I don't achieve any of this in a way I plan.
My inspiration in all of this is ancient religious story like Rama and Arjuna and how they did their duty in a detach way. I want to live like them. (That's why I am planning to study authors like Eckhart Tolle and Michael Singer).
I appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you
Is there a meditations on "being", the way I do is surrendering everything. It feels like dropping everything, even my own identity, the desire for result, and just being open; my body is light and chest more lighter.
Is my method correct? Most of my ideas I got from Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singer, and surface knowledge from Advaita, and Taoism
Surrender everything, even yourself every moment, even in work. Empty every act you do of your ownership. I do this, I do that. No. Just do, and leave the result on it's own. Don't own your action and it's fruit.
I just want to share the way how I act base on the information I learned. Only in surface level I study about Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, and I also have a book with Eckart Tolle and Michael Singer. My understanding to these ideas is not that deep and I just want to share my experience in hopes of deepening my experience more.
My experience is similar to a headless someone doing. Before, I in a subtle way, I always feel that I have a face when I do things, but now, it feels like I am a spirit doing. A faceless actor.
I want to enter a philosophy similar to Taoism where I can dive myself in but still participate in the society. I am delving in Advaita Vedanta before yet it's so complex for me as a student. Taoism for me is surrender to "Is". There's something in me that wants to live like a sage and pursue spiritual aspect of life yet I also want to do my duty to my family. I want to work, pursue high paying job, care for my body, but not because of "mine, me, I" but as natural flow or act; not letting the result (positive or negative) stick to me and making it my identity. Will taoism help me with this or this is form or attachment?
Can someone surrendering to the tao to their every waking life? I've come from modern neo-advaita teachings (Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singer) and one practice help me eith integrating their teachings. Surrender and Humility. Base on my understanding on the Tao, it's undescribable force or will that when someone surrender to it, they do things without making the act about them. Like the river. Humility for the reason that you're not special and excepted to something like hardship. I'm also delving with Advaita Vedanta and Hinduism and most of my ideas came from the understanding from it.
Is it advisable for beginners like me to start in 4 paths of Yoga than immediately going to Advaita Vedanta? I start in Neo Advaita teachers like Eckhart Tolle and Michael Singer. I just want to start a life where I can live in peace while doing my responsibilities without making the results of any of it my identity. Live with discipline and still live in the world. But there's also something within me that want to deep dive in this path. Now, should I start first in the 4 paths and when the time is right in the future, should I start to delve in Advaita Vedanta? Thanks for you answer.

Can I practice and progress in Advaita Vedanta even if I don't have a guru and only self study? I'm not indian and I'm still a college student. Is there a way to practice and progress in Advaita Vedanta in my state? Is there a meditation (sitting meditation, objective and subjective meditation) in Advaita Vedanta? Do I need physical books?
Hi! I just want to ask if you meditate while also living with Michael Singer's teaching? What method do you use? Does it help you? What's your progress?
For Christian Mysticist. What are you perspective toward the original sin, sin itself, and Satan? Base on my understanding, the consciousness we have came from God (or god itself), if that so, is God the one commiting sin? In the religion like Hinduism, it's understandable because of God's Lela. But not toward Christianity. I hope you can help me with this.
Is there a similar concept in Christianity like Karma Yoga? Base on my understanding, Karma Yoga is an action where an individual do the things he did without waiting for the fruit, and doing as a devotion or sacrifice towards God.
Is this similar to Faith? In faith (base on my understanding) is doing the things you need to do with full reliance towards God. Not means you will do half the work or you will not do the work and wait for God, but means you will do what needs to be done, and what ever the outcomes, you have faith that's God's plan for you.
I am delving to spirituality this past days. From Advaita Vedanta, Hinduism, New Age Spirituality and so on. Because of that I am paralyzed right now. I just want to live and know how to cope to my emotions and thoughts. I know this is futile.
Now I discovered the headless way by Douglas Harding. It helps me for a short time but after it, my thoughts if full again. "What I am seeing?" "What am I?" etc.
Then I just let go. Let my head numb from the thoughts. I just breathe. And then slightly the numb is lessening. It's still there.
I remember something, I don't know if it's from the Buddha. "There's something unborn." That's the only thing I remember. I learned about Atman and I cling to it. That I am atman. Maybe I am doing wrong. Maybe I grasping instead of jumping to void. I don't know what to do.

Hi! How can someone practice Headless way successfully. For those who don't know, headless way is a method developed by Douglas Harding. Now, at first when I tried to practice headless, it's wonderful feeling.
Yet after sometime, I get overwhelmed, it's like drowning with my own thoughts and questions about what I am seeing.
And I got a question, does the Headless Way only available to those who can see? How about for those who are blind?
Thank you.

When I forget that I don't have "head" my thoughts always drowns me. As a result I cling to it and the cycle continues.
Thank you.
For those read Michael Singer's books? What advice can you give for those who will just read his book(I only have Untethered soul and will start reading it)? I am planning to incorporate meditations (from Yogi author) and (Yogi breathing), is this a good action or I will just make another clinging to ego? Even Michael Singer also practice meditation before he write his book right for I think maybe I should also try to deep dive in meditations.
Hi everyone. How can someone reach a state where life is bliss. A state like what Buddha or a yogi experience? I'm first introduced in this idea when I read Eckhart Tolle's The power of now. I practice it and I will say it helps me. But I move on. Now I bought Michael Singer's book The Untethered soul I am just starting reading it when I searched about Sanata Dharma and Advaita Vedanta.
I tried some of the practice in Michael Singer's book and I don't know but I feel it's true. I also want to dive to Yogi practice (more focus on meditation).
Should I proceed? What advice can you give me? Thank for all.
