Michael Singer, Tony Robbins, Sage Robbins: Wisdom Untethered

Michael Singer — April 30, 2026

View Transcript

There are 200 questions in Michael Singer’s new book. But according to Singer, life is ultimately asking you only one: Are you willing to let go?

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Singer—beloved author of The Untethered Soul and Living Untethered—alongside transformational teachers Tony Robbins and Sage Robbins for a special interview celebrating the release of Wisdom Untethered: The Time for Questions. What unfolds is more than a book launch. It’s a masterclass in the interior life, led by three of the most profound voices on spiritual freedom alive today.

Join Tami, Michael, Tony, and Sage to explore:

Why letting go is not passive resignation but a lifelong practice of relaxation, release, and inner freedom
The difference between intuition and mental projection—and how to quiet the mind enough to hear the deeper knowing
The highest form of prayer—and why “thy will be done” points to something far more powerful than asking for what you want
Working with fear compassionately: how to stop suppressing it and start raising it up
Michael’s invitation to “lay down and let it wash over you”—a radical approach to emotions too intense to transcend
Why every single moment is literally unique in the universe—and how that recognition changes everything

Whether you’ve read The Untethered Soul a dozen times or are encountering Michael Singer’s teachings for the first time, this interview offers both the breadth and the intimacy of a teaching that can only come from someone who has fully lived it.

Listen now and discover what becomes possible when you finally let go. →

This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together. Originally aired on Sounds True One.

Michael A. Singer is author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Untethered Soul and the New York Times bestsellers The Surrender Experiment and Living Untethered, all of which are published worldwide. He had a deep inner awakening in 1971 while working on his doctorate in economics and went into seclusion to focus on yoga and meditation. In 1975, he founded Temple of the Universe, a now long-established yoga and meditation center where people of any religion or set of beliefs can come together to experience inner peace. Along with his nearly five decades of spiritual teaching, Singer has made major contributions in the areas of business, education, health care, and environmental protection. Discover more here.

E190: The Seat of Consciousness—Freedom Beyond the E...

Michael Singer — June 15, 2026

You are not your thoughts, emotions, preferences, or psychological patterns—you are the consciousness that is aware of them. Suffering comes from holding onto experiences, building an ego out of what you could not handle, and then trying to manipulate life so you never feel discomfort again. Spiritual liberation comes through remaining established in the seat of consciousness, letting experiences pass through without resistance, and eventually dissolving the separate self back into universal consciousness.

E189: The Spiritual Art of Handling Life

Michael Singer — June 11, 2026

Spiritual growth is not about escaping life or reaching for God outside oneself, but about letting go of the ego self that constantly tries to resist and manipulate reality. Human suffering comes from the inability to handle inner discomfort, which leads people to try to control the outside world, suppress emotions, and fight to defend their self-concept. As one practices acceptance, surrender, and non-resistance, consciousness naturally rises beyond the personal self into peace, clarity, and union with higher awareness.

E188: The Illusion of Self—Breaking Free from Ego

Michael Singer — June 8, 2026

Ego is the false self, created from past experiences, that constantly judges, fears, and tries to control life to feel okay. Suffering comes from identifying with these inner patterns instead of recognizing oneself as the awareness observing them. Spiritual liberation is achieved by noticing, not resisting, and letting all inner disturbances pass through, revealing one’s true nature as peaceful, conscious presence.

Lodro Rinzler: Basic Goodness in a World on Fire

Lodro Rinzler — June 16, 2026

How do you hold true to your convictions to be good in a world that’s on fire?

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Lodro Rinzler—Buddhist meditation teacher, founder of the Basic Goodness Collective, and author of seven books including the international bestseller The Buddha Walks into a Bar—about his new book, You Are Good. You Are Enough: Free Yourself from the Trap of Doubt and Return to Basic Goodness. Together, they move through the book’s three arcs: seeing the goodness in ourselves, in others, and in society itself.

Join Tami and Lodro to explore:

The concept of basic goodness—what it actually means, where it comes from in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and why you don’t have to be a Buddhist to recognize it in yourself
How capitalism profits from the lie of not-enoughness—and what it would mean to collectively stop believing it
The “trap of doubt”: that insidious inner voice that keeps us striving, comparing, and withholding self-acceptance
How to extend compassion toward people who drive us crazy—including world-threatening politicians—without excusing harm or collapsing into Pollyanna thinking
The parrot and the forest fire: a jataka tale about what it means to name what’s broken and show up anyway
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s teaching that seeing the phenomenal world as sacred is “the first and last practice of all”
A closing guided meditation to help listeners touch basic goodness in their own direct experience

Whether you’ve been carrying shame for decades or are simply exhausted by a world that feels on fire, Lodro offers something rare: not a pep talk, but a genuine shift in view.

Jasper Young Bear: Prophecies for This Time: When Moth...

— June 2, 2026

Something is shifting in the world—and the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island have seen it coming for generations.

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Jasper Young Bear—wisdom keeper, storyteller, founder of the Medicine Lodge Confederacy, and member of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation—about the sacred oral teachings he was entrusted to carry, and why he has chosen this urgent moment to share them with the world. Jasper is the featured teacher in a new medicine film and four-part audio series, The Creation Story, available to watch and listen to for free at thecreationstory.co.

Join Tami and Jasper to explore:

The Seventh Generation prophecy—and why we are living inside its fulfillment right now
The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, and what the reunification of North and South means for the human family
Why the greatest preparation for coming change is spiritual and emotional—not physical
The sacred laws woven into Indigenous creation stories, and what whole-to-part perception makes possible
The importance of forgiving the unforgivable—and how it opens the frequency of true freedom
Ceremony as living technology: sweat lodges, sacred instruments, and star knowledge as tools of consciousness
Why Jasper believes love—not systems, not ideology—is ultimately what will heal the human family

This interview is unlike most. Tami listens more than she asks. And what Jasper Young Bear offers is truly a transmission: a vision of where we are, where we’re headed, and what each of us can do to become a worthy ancestor for the generations yet to come.

Andrew Holecek: Stop, Drop, and Be Held in the Dark

Andrew Holecek — May 26, 2026

What if the most transformative place you could go isn’t a retreat center or a therapist’s office—but complete and total darkness?

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Andrew Holecek—interdisciplinary scholar, longtime practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, and author of the new Sounds True book Total Eclipse of the Mind: Unleashing the Power of Darkness for Creativity, Healing, and Transformation—about the practice of dark retreat: full immersion in sealed, lightless environments used by yogis for centuries to accelerate inner transformation.

Holecek calls it the single most transformative practice of his fifty years of meditation, psychedelic exploration, and three-year Tibetan retreat—and in this interview, he explains why.

Join Tami and Andrew to explore:

What actually happens to the mind in extended darkness—and the neurological science behind why it’s so transformative
The descent of the mind through conscious, subconscious, and collective unconscious layers—and what waits at the bottom
Dark retreat as a “sober psychedelic”: how the brain generates its own endogenous DMT in extended darkness
The practice of enantiodromia—when extreme contraction suddenly flips into extraordinary openness
How to work with panic, trauma, and unwanted experience using the “reverse meditation” principle: feel it, but don’t feed it
Why appearances don’t matter in the dark—and why so many people emerge in tears, feeling safe and held for the first time
The four-step process for integrating darkness into daily life, from sleep masks to dedicated dark rooms

This interview was recorded with both Tami and Andrew wearing blackout masks—making it one of the most immersive listening experiences in Insights at the Edge history.
