E102: Reality Is Bigger Than You Think

Michael Singer — August 10, 2025

We don’t realize how tightly confined we are to our personal mind—its thoughts, beliefs, preferences, past experiences, and suppressed emotions. This represents such a tiny subset of reality compared to the vastness of what actually exists. Spirituality is about transcending that limited frame of reference and opening up to a world that is not filtered through our ego. Every moment is part of a vast cosmic unfolding, and the key to joy and spiritual freedom lies in expanding awareness beyond oneself.

Vegan Salted Caramel

Sadie Radinsky — March 16, 2021

Vegan Salted Caramel

From the book, Whole Girl by Sadie Radinsky

Yield: Serves 10

INGREDIENTS:

½ cup coconut sugar
¾ cup full-fat coconut milk 2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp coconut oil
¼ tsp sea salt
2 – 5 apples, sliced, for dipping

INSTRUCTIONS:

Whisk together the coconut sugar and coconut milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the mixture has started boiling, turn down the heat to medium-low and let the caramel simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, whisking every couple minutes. If it starts to smell very strong, remove from heat; it could be burning. When the caramel appears to have thickened considerably and darkened in color, remove from heat.
Slowly whisk in the vanilla extract, coconut oil, and sea salt. Let the caramel cool for at least 10 minutes, to thicken up more. Pour the caramel into a small jar. I recommend serving it with sliced apples for a healthy snack. Store any leftover caramel in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
