A Similar Wave-Length

Thoughts are just vibrations that manifest in the thinking mind...[we are not the thoughts or the thinking mind]

Michael A. Singer (paraphrased )

I have this very strange pull to Michael Singer that I cannot explain.  Obviously, I see why I am attracted to his teachings.  He is a modern day yogi and he teaches the things I like to think and talk about in a very contemporary way. His thinking is so similar  to my way of thinking as a a wanna-be yogi, but it is more than just having similar ideas that makes this unseen connection.  I seem to be so in sync with his teachings...with his mind... it is almost uncanny.  I seem to be travelling the same wave length...the same vibrational frequency (how is that for hippy woo-woo?lol). I am thinking about something or studying it elsewhere. I write about it. I then tap into his podcasts...and there it is....sometimes in the exact same words I jotted down, or he will bereferring to another being or teaching that I was just referencing. I am like "wow!" First of all, I cannot get over the synchronicity, and then there is the validation. I hear him and it feels like a sweet validation from the universe of the truth of what I am learning....of what I am teaching ( if I dare say what I do is teaching...lets say "sharing" :)). 

Unbeknownst to him, he is one of the reasons I keep coming here. He ....without intending to...keeps me in my practice. Well, not so much him...though I am sure he is a great person....it is this synchronicity...this strange "parallel thinking" if you want to call it that. 

"Parallel thinking" crazy lady? Are you sure you are not just 'following' or 'copycatting' him?

I am not much of a "follower" or a "copy cat". It may be hard to believe that someone as obscure and as unknown as this human  I call "me" could be on the same wave length of someone who is so well known...whose teachings are already so public and well received.  Am I grandiose in my saying that? 

I have been practicing and studying yoga long before I ever heard of Michael A. Singer. There have been other public speakers who I resonated with before I knew he existed: Eckhart Tolle (he was the first to validate my way of thinking), Wayne Dyer, ACIM, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ram Dass, Alan Watts etc....and of course, Yoganada, Patanjali, Vivekananda etc.  I have been contemplating the things he wrote and spoke about decades before I read the untethered soul...but something sweet happened when I read that book. It was like a "Yes...I get it! I am on the right path."

 And I suddenly knew...without doubt...that samskara release and purification was truly the only way to healing.  I already knew it on a psychological level to some degree-I have studied psychology and have read almost every self-help book out there, I am sure lol...but in his description of the thorn within...I was blown away. Ever since I have been encountering these synchronicities. Will such a synchronicity lead us to actually meet some day? Who knows?

His teachings together with these cool little happenings have set me on my purification path. Our mutual fascination with samskaras and purification is the biggest connection for me I think....I have revamped my own personal yoga practice...my already evolving sadhanna..to a samskara release priority...because of something he said years ago. It was like "Yes!  This is the way! I see now! This is going to work!" And here I am. Whenever I hear him speaking I am not really hearing something I don't know...I am being reaffirmed for what I do. It is so cool. 

Anyway, I appreciate him. I do but I appreciate this mind connection more. I can't understand it. It definitely feels more than a little woo-woo. This man will likely never know of my existence (even though it would be so cool to sit and talk to him)...Unlike him, I will likely remain unseen, unheard, and unknown to the world in my "sharing" and that's okay.  If that is my karma or my dharma, that's perfectly okay. I still feel a connection with him regardless. I feel something that goes beyond me being a "Michael Singer groupie" or "wanna-be"  lol. I feel a same wave-length connection I cannot understand. Some form of quantum non-locality or entanglement maybe. Anyway, just blows me away. 

So, I will just keep doing "my" stuff that few will see or hear, referencing him often, and I will continue to observe  this strange parallel mind wave thing as it unfolds in front of me. It is just so cool. 

All is well.
