The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

Michael A. Singer

Written with much humor and profound simplicity (you will be constantly underlining passages to go back to). Michael takes you on a point-by-point explanation of the mind, what thinking really is (a way to control your environment) and the process of releasing yourself from thoughts—which have nothing to do with you and experiencing your true self. The book shows how the mind traps you into a filtered view of reality that is biased and limited. He points out that the mind has the undesired effect of limiting us and our consciousness. As long as we are insecure and feel we need protection from the outside, we will give over much of our power to our mind and become its servant. When we breakthrough our limited perceptions and come to really know we are always protected, in spite of what the mind thinks, then thoughts lose their power and become our servants.

There seems to be a major shift in the last few years, as more and more people perceive the box we have put ourselves in for thousand of years. My feeling is that the time for ripening of consciousness is upon us and for that we can, to some degree, thank the extreme negativity of the world, which has helped caused a polar shift to supreme awareness to balance and heal this planet of ours. Michael Singer’s book is a symptom of this phenomenon.

Untethered Soul is a very practical book and I highly recommend it, as I believe it can help you see yourself and the world around you in new and healthy terms.
