Self-Help
Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you
find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body?
A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to
relationships? Each time you consider these aspects of
yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than
any of these can define. The Untethered
Soul, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the
question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that
our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact
of our ability to observe ourselves, and the world around
us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and
mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of
consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present
moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep
us from achieving happiness and self-realization.
This book, copublished with the Institute of Noetic
Sciences (IONS), offers a frank and friendly discussion of
consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, he
examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue we all
live with. Part two examines the experience of energy as it
flows through us and works to show readers how to open their
hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their
lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest
of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment,
the embrace of universal consciousness, is the subject of
part four. And finally, in part five, Singer returns to
daily life and the pursuit of unconditional happiness.
Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone,
free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references.
The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help readers
experience the ideas that Singer presents.
