Whenever it starts up telling you what you should or shouldn’t do in order to get the world to match your preconceived concepts, don’t listen. ‘You can have a different relationship with your mind.

That’s how you become a free being-you transcend.’ Chapter: Removing Your Inner Thorn When you have tasted the ecstasy of the inner flow, you can walk in this world and the world will never touch you. You will begin to be sustained by the inner energy flow that comes from behind you. Once you learn that it’s okay to feel inner disturbances, and that they can no longer disturb your seat of consciousness, you will be free. ‘If you sit within the Self, you will experience the strength of your inner being even when your heart feels weak. If you want to be free of these energies, you must allow them to pass through you instead of hiding them inside of you.’ Chapter: Removing Your Inner Thorn All you have to do is notice who it is that feels the loneliness. It is much less complex than the protective apparatus with all its ball bearings, wheels, and hydraulics. But who feels it? Your way out is to just notice who’s noticing. A feeling of emptiness is an object it is something you feel. The one who sees this is you, the subject. You can notice that your consciousness was watching TV, and now it is watching your inner melodrama. ‘What can you do to solve this besides eating something, calling somebody, or doing something else that might quiet it down? What you can do is notice that you noticed. When you work with this, you start to learn the subtler laws of the process of letting go.’ Chapter: Let Go Now or Fall This is the beginning and end of the entire path-you surrender yourself to the process of emptying yourself. If you are sincerely seeking truth, you’ll let go every time. You simply permit the pain to come up into your heart and pass through. ‘The stuff that holds you down periodically rears its head. If you can be free even though you’re having these kinds of feelings, then you’re really free-because there will always be something.’ Chapter: Transcending the Tendency to Close Don’t think you’d be free if you just didn’t have these kinds of feelings. You are the one who’s watching, and that one is pure consciousness. All the attractions, repulsions, thoughts, and feelings don’t make any difference. It’s not your fault that such energies exist. There is nothing wrong with feeling the energies of fear, jealousy, or attraction. It’s not that you are trying to stop the energies from coming up inside. You just have to be willing to exercise your will. ‘Your center of consciousness is always stronger than the energy that is pulling on it. The moment the energy moves and you feel your consciousness start to get drawn into it, you relax and release.’ Chapter: Transcending the Tendency to Close ‘A wise person remains centered enough to let go every time the energy shifts into a defensive mode.

It’s that easy.’ Chapter: The Secrets of the Spiritual Heart If old energies come back up because you were unable to process them before, let go of them now.

‘To achieve this state, simply allow the experiences of life to come in and pass through your being. Nothing, ever, is worth closing your heart over.’ ‘Remember, if you love life, nothing is worth closing over. ‘The more you are willing to just let the world be something you’re aware of, the more it will let you be who you are-the awareness, the Self, the Atman, the Soul.’ Chapter: The Lucid Self

These are just a few of many and hopefully they will inspire you to read the full book: I’d like to quote a few passages that stood out for me and grasp the context of the book. The walk always needs to be walked and you should decide for yourself what you’ll accept as your truth. As with every book, don’t expect to read this and be forever in bliss.

The Untethered Soul is a truly amazing and comprehensive overview of life lessons in consciousness and spirituality. Although many concepts will (should) be recognized by the experienced reader of “spiritual self help” books, the way Michael words his knowledge is very attractive and brought me some new insights on various topics, while refreshing others. That book is now world famous: The Untethered Soul:The Journey Beyond Yourself. At the end of this story, he decides to write a book that contains all lessons he learned from his life-long experiment. He shares his amazing life story in the book The Surrender Experiment. At an early age, the author Michael Singer, decided to go live in the woods and focus on meditation and yoga, surrendering fully to everything life would bring on.
