"Live a free life" - Love and cherish yourself

If you recognize and let go of what makes that place unsafe, you will find that inside you you are indeed safe.

That is the issue that Michael A. Singer raises in his book Living a Free Life , he is also the author of Unchained Soul (a New York Times bestseller, with over 1 million copies sold and published in many places around the world ).

The world cannot bring happiness if you are making yourself miserable.

In Living a Free Life , from a scientific and intelligent perspective, Michael A. Singer thoroughly analyzed the root cause that makes people always feel unhappy instead of being happy and joyful when being present in this world. And why many people cannot find effective solutions to solve their own problems.

Under the guidance of Michael A. Singer, readers will be able to approach and observe the ego and their inner life from a new and interesting perspective. These are issues that we need to approach thoroughly before finding solutions to progress to a state of truly free and peaceful life.

According to Michael A. Singer, humans have three types of experience: external through the senses, internal through thoughts, and emotional or feeling experiences. Michael A. Singer argues that many people see their lives as a "relentless arena." They are trying to use the outside to heal their inner world - when they would be better off starting to understand why they don't feel at peace on the inside.

If they think that happiness can only be achieved by struggling and searching in the outside world: high status, perfect job, dream house… then they will never be satisfied. "The problem is that there is an external reality that can penetrate and interfere with your thoughts and emotions."

According to the author, life is not peaceful for you because every day you accumulate too many obstacles, accumulate too much negative energy when having to fight the outside world and do not deeply understand your ego.

These indelible impressions in the mind, which the science of yoga calls Samskaras, are always disturbing you, always making you restless. Instead of experiencing the outside world passing by, you live with the emotions of love, hate, beliefs and prejudices stored inside. This creates your inner suffering.

“The cause of suffering is personal intention, which determines how you want things to be and disappointment when things don’t go your way,” Michael A. Singer concludes. “In essence, you make yourself unhappy, then you go out and demand that the world somehow make you happy… The world can’t make you happy while you’re making yourself miserable on the inside.”

And here's what the author points out: When you truly go through the process of inner maturity, you will no longer identify yourself with external objects. You will identify yourself with a deeper sense of self within you.

Only when you are at peace can you flow without drowning in it.

According to Michael A. Singer, the core of the problem is that you are fully aware of your ego, clearly understand who is inside you and what you are doing. Begin (or continue) the journey of inner discovery . Only with full awareness can you learn to accept and let go properly, deepen your relationship with yourself and the world around you, and move towards a state of true freedom and peace. Only when you are at peace can you live a free life.

"Start with the easy things to let go of throughout the day, and then move on to letting go of the past. That is the best way to start meaningful transformation. Once you learn to release the problems that arise from within yourself, the accumulated Samskaras within you, a greater transformation will definitely happen." But how and in what way?

Michael A. Singer points out: The problem is only solved when you look deep inside yourself, focus on letting go of the root cause of your inner suffering, deal with repressed negative energies, and free yourself.

Once you reach a level of inner clarity, you will realize that just because you are content with reality does not mean you are not interacting with it. The world continues to manifest before your eyes, but it is no longer personal to you.

Acceptance and letting go do not mean being passive or giving up, but understanding that what happens in the objective world will always happen as it is, it does not belong to you, it does not happen the way you want it to... Acceptance does not mean doing or not doing anything, but completely giving up your habit of resisting from the beginning to what is happening.

Understanding these things deeply, you will know how to "go with the flow but not drown in it", will know how to transform negative energies into positive energies to live a peaceful, free and useful life for humanity.

In Living Freely, the author argues that we begin a journey toward understanding the absolute rationality of acceptance and the wonderful gifts it promises to bring: freedom, peace, and inner clarity. Acceptance is best understood as not resisting reality.

If you want to contemplate and practice, you can ponder over specific parts of the book about: the outside world, the birth of the individual mind, thoughts and dreams, the secrets of the heart, human predicaments and overcoming, learning to let go, living a life of acceptance...

"Don't wait until a bomb goes off in your life to ask yourself what you need to do differently. You need to make it your mission to free yourself every day, so you can deal with whatever situation you encounter on your journey." The author gives sincere advice.

"People who dedicate their lives to self-liberation like you are precious. Love and respect." Those are the last lines of the book. If the author has given us, the readers, such love and respect, then why don't we love and respect ourselves? And let's start with Living a Free Life.
