The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

It doesn’t make any difference what it’s saying, you are the one who is aware of it. As long as you think that one thing it’s saying is you, but the other thing it’s saying is not you, you’ve lost your objectivity. You may want to think of yourself as the part that says the nice things, but that’s still the voice talking. You may like what it says,

If you can sit through these urges, you will see what caused them. If you can get comfortable with what you see, you will face the next layer of causation, and so on, layer upon layer.

The only real solution is to take the seat of witness consciousness and completely change your frame of reference.

Just open, relax your heart, forgive, laugh, or do anything you want. Just don’t push it back down.

The very fact that you can see the disturbance means that you are not it.

That spiritual energy is what you’re experiencing when love rushes up into your heart. That is what you’re experiencing when you’re enthused by something and all this high energy comes up inside of you.

But you should never leave something as important as your energy flow to chance. If you like energy, and you do, then don’t ever close.

The secret of the ascent is to never look down—always look up.

Your consciousness is actually experiencing your mental model of reality, not reality itself.
