Letting Go of Letting Go with Peter Russell (4K Reboot)
New Thinking AllowedOct 20, 2026
Meditation teacher Peter Russell, who has taught for about 50 years, argues that letting go is not about getting rid of uncomfortable feelings but about letting them in and letting them be. In conversation with Jeffrey Mishlove, he explains how the 'ego mind' keeps us trapped in insistent thinking, and how simply asking 'could there be another way of seeing this?' can shift our perception. He also describes his blend of effortless Transcendental Meditation and Vipassana mindfulness, which he jokingly calls 'Transcendental Vipassana', as a path back to the unchanging 'I am' sense of self.
