Omg!! This is actually how I gained control over my depression. Now my head is so silent and for me personally it was growing spiritually that helped me. I can be alone in my room and not be afraid of my thoughts, I am in bed because I want to not because I can't get up. My procrastination is just me not that dark thing debilitating me.
You are not even a procrastinator. When you stop procrastinating do you stop existing? You are just the awareness that is experiencing procrastination. You are nothing other than an awarenes (according to this). You aren't the object of your awareness but yourself. True free will comes when you realize this and make your decisions based on whether you would want to give attention to a choice or other.
Yes! Michael said on the Under The Skin podcast, "You're not the voice inside your head, you're the one who observes the voice inside your head" which has stuck with me forever. Once you get it, like mentioned, you have a spiritual awakening
This video omg!!!! The thoughts in our head are not us, they are our “psyche”!The culmination of how we’ve interpreted the millions of things we’ve come across so far, but they are not really us because we can observe them! If we choose to identify with the thoughts rather than observe them, then we give them energy and the become us (we essentially manifest them into our lives). Unbelievable!
YEP! Same thing happened to me! Once we get here, we want to help awaken the world, but we soon realize each person has to experience this on their own (that was the hardest thing for me to understand.) Our soul is LOVE just as God is LOVE! We are ONE and we are LOVE! Peace!
Well yeah, in Hebrew it is called Satan (suh-tahn) which means "opponent" or "adversary", it is a force in you that opposes you, fights you, tricks you, drains you. Don't feed it.
Having the awareness to catch the thinking mind is the key. Catching it before we identify with anger, sadness, etc is truth i believe. Having a choice to step into the stillness or mind chatter is liberating enough on my part. Good video
NOBODY has time to meditate and clear their mind... They are on their smartphone on social media 24/7 ... because they want to be in everyones business and want people to be in their business ... Nobody cares about privacy anymore, all they care about is that damn smartphone and social media ... They did a study and most people said that 15-20 min of meditation was TOO long and they would be ok with 1-2 minutes ... WHILE THEY WERE HOLDING THEIR SMARTPHONE IN THEIR HAND LOOKING AT IT AND TALKING TO THE INTERVIEWER ... !!!
@@franci.f. That is absolutely PATHETIC that you need an APP to remind you, and i am not joking, i am SERIOUS ... Anyone that needs an APP to remind them or tell them to do something is SAD ... Your mind is a computer ... Try using it
Here’s something else that happened to me throughout my experience that I found absolutely hilarious. Earlier today, a part of me wanted to panic. All of these thoughts came rushing through my mind. Some people call it self-talk. Then, I asked myself, who are you talking to? It was then that I recognized that those thoughts were coming from a negative place. I actually felt kind of silly allowing those thoughts to chatter the way they were. I realized later, that I was repeating things I heard other people say when they were upset. I was becoming THEIR thoughts. WHO ELSE IS IN HERE? 😂😂😂😂😂
It's much more complex. We can certainly consider the concept, however, there's true nightmares happening every minute of every day. If say, we stop watching the news, terrible things are happening everywhere. They're not nonexistent. Correct?
If you like The Power of Now, you’ll like Michael’s The Untethered Soul” AND for how he got it to work in HIS life, read ‘The Surrender Experiment’. I found Michael easier to follow & comprehend than Eckhart .. I read his books but I couldn’t relate to him as well
My new favorite book..I didn't want this to end. I could listen to the audio book all day long..I have listened to it during my hikes and I could not get enough..really resonated with me!
Yes i believe this that we are not d mind nor d thought. As a spiritual being we are always on d positive side. But we are getting distracted due to negative thoughts. Thats how freewill working.
Wow, this video saved me a lot of money, because I was just in the process of hiring a therapist. Now, I can take the money and donate it to a worthy cause. Thank you!
Sweetheart Oprah, I really respect you so much and I so wish you'd speak lesser and let your guests speak more!! Don't be scared of losing yourself or not getting noticed, that is no more the work you have to do, now the work you have to work on is letting go of control, trusting the process, having faith in your guests with the knowing that your listeners and your admirers like me will learn to adapt to each new guest and to learn from their teachings. You need not worry, you don't need to chew down everything for your "babies/viewers" , we can understand spiritual terms more n more ..... I really pray you'll find enough inner peace and strength to let your guest "shine" !!! Namaste
wow! it is quiet back there! it is instant peace... there's no fightling thoughts back there... grapling with "getting thoughts out of your head" it just IS peace and quiet. I didn't even know this precious real estate existed! This IS IT!!! Step back, Relax and Let Go! Amazing!!! I finanally feel my mind and body at Rest! Thank you!
The most insightful thing to me was what they said at the end. How do we separate ourselves from the thoughts? You must separate what you are Not from what you Are! If you continue to stay in the mind's thoughts you will Not grow spiritually. You will be forever stuck blocking the true pathway to spirituality!
I never heard of this before; my thoughts being from my spiritual self- I never thought of me having a spiritual self- I always thought... I have Faith and think different than others. now I understand what is meant about an awakening. I'm a person and a spiritual being - makes so much sense!
Wow after watching thisvi just realized i indeed have grown in my spiritual journey!!!! Ive observed that my thoughts will run rampant in my head. Then ill tell myself to STOP!! And let it go...ive realized that these thoughts are just thoughts, basically self talk. Now im at the point of awareness and trying to change these thoughts into affirmations. its a journey...
These short clips are resonating with me so deeply. Choosing not to dwell on negative thoughts and knowing that those thoughts are from you but are not you are such great insights. i'm definitely getting this book!
I also recommend for everyone to read The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, combined with Michael's book and you will never have to struggle ever in your life.
This is so right on. Is says so simply & clearly. I thought this in my youth but no one at that time could give an explanation. Thank you for writing this very important book. Thank you Oprah for having him on the show. I might not have run across this. It answers so many ??? Namaste
People don't understand how liberating that feeling is. Trust me, I've never been spiritual, was an atheist and believed spiritual people are a little bit crazy. I still think about extremists, but it helped me tremendously, especially being very emotional and tending to overthink situations. Now, I almost see my thoughts as they arise, and stop them in their tracks before they take me, within an instant, on a long ride of pointless thinking (usually about the same situations and scenarios I ran through my mind countless times before) which leaves me mentally exhausted. Being mindful and learning to remove these thoughts introduced me to unspeakable happiness and confidence.
I feel like humanity is on the verge of an awakened consciousness. the more we share these messages of how the brain works, and how to not judge ourselves for the stream of thoughts/voices but observe our thoughts and sit with our emotions (emotional integration) then the more love we have for ourselves and others.
Totally agree, I guess she still behaves like she's doing a talk show and thus is obliged to "animate" while the fact is that it's a "peaceful" interview of spiritual self-discovered beings!!! I've messaged her too .... hope she'll read one of us!!!
@@evermoreart here's my ego...You start off with "Weird comment" (judging). Then you say "Don't watch her interviews then" (defensive and offended). Then "Everyone is a critic" (including YOU, clearly). Then you end it with "Is that your real voice? Or your ego?" (did YOUR REAL voice tell you to type your comment or YOUR EGO?). It looks like you're not as holier than thou as you think are are sweetie. Get down from your high horse. :)
i dont think shes cutting them off from speaking. Sometimes finishing the interviewees sentances can show them that youre highly interested in what theyre saying.
Obviously you need to have an ego and then have had to have grappled with the ego to now appreciate and understand what it is to release the ego... but once you do, this is an amazing tool/technique... thank you!
"What is the voice inside our head? It is something we listen to on a regular basis and the problem is we think it's us." Understanding this on an experiental level pretty much suffices to transcend that voice :)
Paul, I like you can appreciate that Oprah brought this message for us, yet others who posted on this thread complained ABOUT Oprah. People are ungrateful.
I dont think OWN is doing anything wrong/ out of the ordinary. I think ppl would rather watch something more " entertaining" than thoughtful or educational. Having massive views does not mean its better for ppl. ** Btw this was wonderful. I too realized that the voice inside my head was not really me persay. Praying and knowing about the real me has made me a stronger peroson**
Thank you! I have specifically been asking for an answer to this question. I have had the voices battle going on awhile. I have PTSD so the voice has become incessant and terrified of everything. I couldn't sort of it was intuition about something imminent or completely false. This 8s changing my life right now.
The very FACT that you notice and hear your voice means that you are ALREADY separate from it ! For example, if you see a Car outside, then you just know that YOU are NOT the CAR. There is nothing to be done. You just know it. Similarly, the voice in your head, or the mind, is being noticed by you. Therefore, you are NOT the voice/mind. The mind wants more complicated stuff...you don't. Its this simple.
It takes long, exerted self-observation - realizing you are not one person but two - one is the thinking/feeling/instinctual mind and the other is the observing self which watches what the mind is doing. Get BEHIND your thoughts (as Singer says in the book) and watch them - don’t immerse all your awareness and being IN the thoughts. You can say “This is not ‘I’ to your obsessive thoughts. Thoughts come and go like clouds, like the wind. The one who notices is who you are, says Singer and many others before him.
Thank you so much, Michael Singer and Dear Oprah and Friends, these mini-messages have greatly improved my intuition and inspirational writing.... Thank you God for All the wonderful healings experienced over our last couple years of self-esteem enhancement strategies. God Bless n Thank you!!!
We are all truly called to be ONE. One is not two. Separate is not ONE. One is one. Your compulsion to speak out against anything is a defense, a defense is a beginning of war with yourself. Peace beyond understanding is your goal? This is impossible to attain as you war with "what is". When you can be with what is about yourself or anyone, especially those who differ in belief from you or speak about spiritual things using different words you will see the peace beyond understanding.
The beginning is awesome! But I have to say the best is page 219! which states : " When your mind is disturbed, don't ask " What do I do about this?" Instead ask "Who am I that notices this?" I have tried this many time today when I start getting bad feelings and thoughts and it works most of the time and if I keep repeating the question "Who am I that notices this?" the thoughts do pass as he suggests in the book..."Who am I that notices this?" I just took my wife to the hospital, the day before she had surgery, then when we got home that night we had to return due to a high fever. I just got the book and was reading it off and on during all this experience and it made it okay for me, whereas before it would've been much more uncomfortable. She is fine by the way and coming home in the morning. Yeah I felt a separation from my thoughts (ego) and the conscious awareness that I am. Oh gosh, it's working!
Fantastic life changing stuff but only half correct. You are your thoughts but only the positive ones. These are the thoughts you have total control over. When you say I'm going to be happy everyday and I'm on the right path and know my purpose this is not the observer speaking but the positive thoughts you have created. The negative thoughts are the ones which are involuntary and are not us. I feel in total control now and understand more than ever before😊
Jung and many other wrote about that voice inside us. When i was a teenager I read a book on "how to erase the guilty feeling" that was all about exploring the nature of that voice. However rather than discovering the true nature of that voice I'd rather learn how to manage that partition. I think spiritual practice and in particular Singer and Tolle can help in managing that partition and this starts with accepting it.
I don´t believe in God, but i do believe in the spirit, and the spiritual way, and this man, omg, he hit some points there, and he actually explained i lot of thinks for me! Thank you!
You can’t replace a lifetime of bad thoughts with good ones. It’s not practical. The enemy is thinking, itself, and you have to dismiss the importance of it. This usually happens as a result of a crisis and in an emergency, the ego is useless. A lie that the ego/mind is afraid you will find out about. Once discovered, you will learn to not pay it as much attention as you did before. This is an act of liberation.
I agree. That is one thing she needs to change, because I have noticed that in most of her interviews. It is good sometimes, but often it interrupts the guest and we can't really tell whether what she adds is really what the guest means or intended to say.
It is you that is speaking, not some foreign entity or indwelling demon. The content being discussed comes from the ideas you have believed and made into habitual thoughts. There is no quieting the voice within (inner dialogue) only we can chnge the content of our inner voice. It's not if we talk to ourselves, it is what we say to ourselves and what part of that we believe. Faith/Belief is the controlling factor of the inner person.
I want to learn how to just use the mind as a tool for when I'm writing and purposefully musing over the world's ongoings, and turn away from it when I'm not, to allow myself to be in the present moment and neither lament the past for fear the future.
very grateful for this video but i gotta say, and this is about all SSS videos, as i'm watching at a volume where i have to slightly strain myself to hear because it's 1am right now and i'm trying to be considerate, suddenly without any warning the sound starts booming at the end and, oh look, all my flatmates are awake and pissed.
To no avail I have tried to silence the voices, to make it stop so that I could move on and lead the life that I want. I just want to forgive myself for the lost time and forget the words that were spoken to me by my psyche.
We are the awareness of the changing energy, in this case, the voice. We can only be aware of change, if we are in fact, changeless! This is what we are. The changeless awareness of change. One way to discover this awareness is in 'pure silence' as opposed to ordinary quiet. If interested you can read more here www.orangesunlabs.com
I have experienced this thing . I was looking in the mirror and suddenly I realised that the person in the mirror is different and I’m the different person. I didn’t realise what was happening. I saw myself (which was my mind or thoughts) I felt that i am the fake shield covering the real me ( The soul) I totally felt that I don’t know the person whom I was looking at in the mirror. I forcefully convert that situation and came into the fake worldly me . I wish I had known this at that moment ,I would’ve kept myself in that zone forever.. I haven’t faced that thing again 😔
I had an encounter with the voices in my head...multiple busy mind. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Actually frightened me at the time. Although I had been for weeks been practicing observing, becoming aware of myself during my day etc. and at the time this was happening...had similar experience during a meditation I became aware of the observer the witness and was a bit frightened. Suppose that is the ego getting frightened perhaps?
The subconscious is a very powerful thing and I didnt realize how powerful it was until I went through the tragedy I went through. Now that I understand, unraveled the mysteries and have become more consciously aware of the tactics, methods and technology used and what they were doing to me, I can make more clear determinations. It was very very easy for the perpetrators to manipulate and do what they did to me when you DONT KNOW what they were doing and how they were doing it. People should be in jail.
I second that WHOA!!!! I put the video on pause @ 3:30 to go outside in my backyard in the moonlit snow to take photos of the moon and our white picket fence. Shadows on the moonlit snow is pretty. And those were some of the words spoken here. :~) ....that voice isn't me, because I'm the one listening to it...love it.

u inadvertently hit it on the head with egotistical, the ego is the thoughts in our heads and it is what keeps us from expressing our true self fully
There's a book called Hearing the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer. She shed so much light on this subject.
We are all truly called to be ONE. One is not two. Separate is not ONE. One is one. Your compulsion to speak out against anything is a defense, a defense is a beginning of war with yourself.

She is fine by the way and coming home in the morning. Yeah I felt a separation from my thoughts (ego) and the conscious awareness that I am. Oh gosh, it's working!
Scot Campbell or you could storm yourself in a 2hr set of trance with my water mix. but nobodys listening because nobody knows and I need investors.
What is the title of the book please ?
Wats the name
Fantastic life changing stuff but only half correct. You are your thoughts but only the positive ones. These are the thoughts you have total control over. When you say I'm going to be happy everyday and I'm on the right path and know my purpose this is not the observer speaking but the positive thoughts you have created. The negative thoughts are the ones which are involuntary and are not us. I feel in total control now and understand more than ever before😊
Jung and many other wrote about that voice inside us. When i was a teenager I read a book on "how to erase the guilty feeling" that was all about exploring the nature of that voice. However rather than discovering the true nature of that voice I'd rather learn how to manage that partition. I think spiritual practice and in particular Singer and Tolle can help in managing that partition and this starts with accepting it.
"You are the one who is watching the thoughts" 😍
I've been watching a lot of clips from this channel tonight and wow I've had quite a few "aha" moments. Thanks so much for the uploads.
I don´t believe in God, but i do believe in the spirit, and the spiritual way, and this man, omg, he hit some points there, and he actually explained i lot of thinks for me! Thank you!
You can’t replace a lifetime of bad thoughts with good ones. It’s not practical. The enemy is thinking, itself, and you have to dismiss the importance of it. This usually happens as a result of a crisis and in an emergency, the ego is useless. A lie that the ego/mind is afraid you will find out about. Once discovered, you will learn to not pay it as much attention as you did before. This is an act of liberation.
This video just saved my life.thanx fir sharing
i would've loved to hear more from Michael Singer in this interview.
This just changed me and my life forever...
And mine!
And mine
I have to have the book! This is so helpfull. Thank you Oprah and Michael Singer 🙏
I got chills. Wow...
Oprah makes the questions and the answers, should have just put a picture of this guy on the chair😂
Exactly my point 😅
You are too funny! I needed that.
hahahahaha haha, hilarious.
Antoine Bartholome she doesn’t shut up
I agree. That is one thing she needs to change, because I have noticed that in most of her interviews. It is good sometimes, but often it interrupts the guest and we can't really tell whether what she adds is really what the guest means or intended to say.
Wow.... thats an "aha!" moment for me
Oprah you look soooo pretty! 😍😊Mr. Speaker you are sooo beautifully intelligent and insightful! 😍😊
Goodness even the advert made me 😢. Very relevant to Oprah’s segment.
True self: that, that is watching the thoughts. Not the thoughts themself.
This interview was just beyond words, wonderful. Of course am getting the book
It is you that is speaking, not some foreign entity or indwelling demon. The content being discussed comes from the ideas you have believed and made into habitual thoughts. There is no quieting the voice within (inner dialogue) only we can chnge the content of our inner voice. It's not if we talk to ourselves, it is what we say to ourselves and what part of that we believe. Faith/Belief is the controlling factor of the inner person.
“They’re thoughts. They’re not you.” Yep
“It is your Psyche, not your Soul”.
Wow.
I want to learn how to just use the mind as a tool for when I'm writing and purposefully musing over the world's ongoings, and turn away from it when I'm not, to allow myself to be in the present moment and neither lament the past for fear the future.
very grateful for this video but i gotta say, and this is about all SSS videos, as i'm watching at a volume where i have to slightly strain myself to hear because it's 1am right now and i'm trying to be considerate, suddenly without any warning the sound starts booming at the end and, oh look, all my flatmates are awake and pissed.
To no avail I have tried to silence the voices, to make it stop so that I could move on and lead the life that I want. I just want to forgive myself for the lost time and forget the words that were spoken to me by my psyche.
maybe you should ANSWER the voices in your head ..

Have you read the book if I may ask? Don’t try to stop them, be aware of them. Hear them and let them pass through your awareness.
Ive been raised on this concept it makes so much sense, amazing
We are the awareness of the changing energy, in this case, the voice. We can only be aware of change, if we are in fact, changeless! This is what we are. The changeless awareness of change. One way to discover this awareness is in 'pure silence' as opposed to ordinary quiet. If interested you can read more here www.orangesunlabs.com
and I caught it on a Sunday
for my awakened church folk/family
"You are watching your thoughts and you are none of them."
I LOVE OPRAH. AND ALL THE WORLD. THANKYOU SO MUCH. LOVE EVON SOULOS XXXXXX
Oh My, I know quite a few people who've read this book and NOW I am really aware of it!!!
Thank you Oprah.
I have experienced this thing . I was looking in the mirror and suddenly I realised that the person in the mirror is different and I’m the different person. I didn’t realise what was happening. I saw myself (which was my mind or thoughts) I felt that i am the fake shield covering the real me ( The soul) I totally felt that I don’t know the person whom I was looking at in the mirror. I forcefully convert that situation and came into the fake worldly me . I wish I had known this at that moment ,I would’ve kept myself in that zone forever.. I haven’t faced that thing again 😔
I had an encounter with the voices in my head...multiple busy mind. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Actually frightened me at the time. Although I had been for weeks been practicing observing, becoming aware of myself during my day etc. and at the time this was happening...had similar experience during a meditation I became aware of the observer the witness and was a bit frightened. Suppose that is the ego getting frightened perhaps?
As has always been said, it's the thought behind the thought.
you are your thoughts they shape your personality they obey you
Don't be a thought watcher. Be the thinker.
This is such fabulous discussion. I wonder, is this something that you can only really truly grasp, once you are awakened?
I love listening to his advice
Wow this really is helpful and insiteful
True letting go of thought , to get to your true “ spiritual mind” and life path .❤️
How important is to understand this..
Oprah is amazing ...doing great work .......💙
Wonderful and powerful
The subconscious is a very powerful thing and I didnt realize how powerful it was until I went through the tragedy I went through. Now that I understand, unraveled the mysteries and have become more consciously aware of the tactics, methods and technology used and what they were doing to me, I can make more clear determinations. It was very very easy for the perpetrators to manipulate and do what they did to me when you DONT KNOW what they were doing and how they were doing it. People should be in jail.
I read his book to overcome the pre-despression that I experienced, and it really helped :)
This video haloed me to understand the difference between me and my thoughts.
I second that WHOA!!!! I put the video on pause @ 3:30 to go outside in my backyard in the moonlit snow to take photos of the moon and our white picket fence. Shadows on the moonlit snow is pretty. And those were some of the words spoken here. :~) ....that voice isn't me, because I'm the one listening to it...love it.
Very helpful video!
In 4.43 mins length, Miss Oprah is the one who talked for almost 4 minutes when the audience need to hear from Mr.Singer more.
So eye opening. I’m elated
Just watch 2005 Revolver by Guy Ritchie. They break this concept down extremely well.
Brilliant!!
