The Untethered Soul Lecture Series: Volume 4: Turning Preference into Peace: 9781683646440: Singer, Michael: Books

Most needs, especially psychological ones, are illusions masking deeper issues. Singer describes needs as a disease of the psyche, indicating an unhealthy state.

Singer introduces the concept of an 'energy body'. He refers to how individuals compensate for blocked or lacking energy. Singer explains that people often try to address these internal energy blockages by seeking external solutions, such as relationships. However, he highlights the ineffectiveness of seeking external solutions for internal voids.

Singer advocates for an inward journey towards self-sufficiency and true contentment arising from within. He emphasizes letting go of artificial needs and transforming the energy body.

Singer argues that true freedom is achieved by freeing oneself from their own desires and self-imposed limitations. He critiques the mind's tendency to create a false sense of happiness based on fulfilling desires.

Singer suggests detaching from the mind's preferences to achieve contentment.

Singer suggests exploring our inner selves to understand the root causes of preferences and dislikes. He advises letting go of the mind's process of creating likes and dislikes.

Singer believes that true liberation is achieved by transcending the desires and fears of the mind, allowing for an authentic and unconstrained life.
