Michael A. Singer

The Untethered Soul

1. IDEA 1

   You are not your inner voice

   Singer describes the constant voice in our heads as like a roommate who never stops talking. He invites readers to notice that they are the one who hears the voice, not the voice itself.

2. IDEA 2

   You are the witness

   Singer argues that our true self is the conscious awareness that observes thoughts and feelings. Recognising this brings freedom. Singer argues that stepping back to observe our thoughts shows us that we are more than they are.

3. IDEA 3

   Inner energy rises and falls

   Singer describes an inner energy that flows when we are open and is blocked when we close. Openness keeps energy flowing. Singer argues that how open or closed we feel inside changes how much energy we feel.
