E131: Right Understanding — The Journey Back to the ...

Michael Singer — November 20, 2025

At its core, right understanding means focusing on the difference between consciousness and the objects of consciousness—the one and the many. If we falsely identify with an object, we must deal with the inner energy generated by that identification. Resisting that energy causes stored impressions that shape our preferences, desires, and suffering. Permitting the energy to pass through allows us to accept reality as it unfolds and honor the pain, joy, and mystery of life as a vehicle for growth and liberation. This is the essence of self-realization and the path to enlightenment.

Aviv Shahar: This Epochal Moment

Aviv Shahar — November 18, 2025

Aviv Shahar explores why we’re living through an Epochal Moment—a rare transition between ages where one epoch dies as another emerges. He maps the five-thousand-year journey that brought us here, reveals the “bugs” in our collective evolution that require remedying, and describes the emerging capacities of the universal human we’re becoming as we navigate this bewildering, transformative threshold.

E130: Ceasing to Contract Consciousness

Michael Singer — November 17, 2025

Consciousness is the most important aspect of existence, without which nothing has meaning. We suffer because we contract our awareness onto one small, self-centered point of creation—our own thoughts, emotions, and preferences—rather than letting consciousness remain open and expansive. Daily life becomes a spiritual path by using our relationships, experiences, and internal reactions as opportunities to stop focusing on our egos and begin allowing consciousness to remain open, free, and in harmony with all that is.

[ENCORE EPISODE] Richard Schwartz, PhD: No Bad Parts

Richard Schwartz — November 13, 2025

**SPECIAL ENCORE PRESENTATION**

Richard “Dick” Schwartz earned his PhD in marriage and family therapy from Purdue University. He coauthored the most widely used family therapy text in the United States, Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods, and is the creator of the Internal Family Systems Model, which he developed in response to clients’ descriptions of various “parts” within themselves. With Sounds True, Dick has written a new book titled No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon talks to Dick about the transformation that occurs when we welcome every part of who we are. He explains that even our most destructive parts have protective intentions, put in place to shield us from unprocessed pain, and details his method for accessing and mending these inner wounds. They also discuss the myth of the “mono mind,” and why the mind is naturally multiple; how “exiled” trauma can manifest as bodily pain; connecting with our core Self and letting it lead us in our healing; and how the language of “parts” can be useful in our relationship dynamics.

E129: Using Daily Moments for Spiritual Growth

Michael Singer — November 13, 2025

The spiritual journey begins not with lofty mystical pursuits but with the practical, inner decision to handle reality as it unfolds. Most of our suffering stems from our inability to deal with inner energies that arise due to past events we have stored for years. By learning to stay present, let go, and work with these energies, we purify ourselves and allow shakti to flow freely, eventually reaching a state of inner liberation and wholeness.
