THE UNTETHERED SOUL BY MICHAEL A SINGER FREE

Unconditional happiness is the highest technique there is. If you decide that you're going to be happy from now on for the rest of your life, you will not only be happy, you will become enlightened.

Those are the eyes of God looking down through you. Your eyes could never, even in a million years, see only beauty and total perfection in your beloved. Your eyes could never be that unconditional.

Your eyes could never look with that amount of love. If, for even one moment, you can look at someone with the eyes of true love, you'll know those eyes are not yours. The truth is that most of life will unfold in accordance with forces far outside your control, regardless of what your mind says about it. Once you do that, you'll be clear enough to deal with what's left. The only permanent solution to your problems is to go inside and let go of the part of you that seems to have so many problems with reality. Once you make that choice, your path through life becomes totally clear. But, in the end, you can throw it all away and just make one basic, underlying decision: Do you want to be happy, or do you not want to be happy? ItвЂ™s really that simple. People tend to burden themselves with so many choices. A spiritual being feels as though they are always against that edge, and they are constantly being pushed through it. If youвЂ™re truly going beyond, you are always at your limits. ItвЂ™s an infinite journey based upon going beyond yourself every minute of every day for the rest of your life. Spirituality is the commitment to go beyond, no matter what it takes. To be free, simply view pain as a temporary shift in your energy flowвЂ¦ If you relax when the pain comes up inside your heart, and actually dare to face it, it will pass. Stress only happens when you resist lifeвЂ™s eventsвЂ¦ If you have no preference, if the only thing you want is to remain centered, then life unfolds while you simply feel for the center.Д®very time you do something in the name of avoiding pain, that something becomes a link that holds the potential for the pain you are avoidingвЂ¦ Your attempt to avoid this pain has created layers upon layers of sensitivities that are all linked to the hidden pain. Ultimately, if you protect yourself perfectly, you will never grow. Fire it, and let go of your inner problems instead. You have given your mind an impossible task by asking it to manipulate the world in order to fix your personal inner problemsвЂ¦ Your mind is not qualified for that job. And thatвЂ™s the only time everything will be okay. You can think about it all you want, but life is still going to keep on happening.Д®verything will be okay as soon as youare okay with everything. There is no reason to constantly attempt to figure everything out.Д«illions of things are going on in this world. You do this not by reaching for the Spirit, but by letting go of the rest. You naturally begin to center more and more on the spiritual part of your being. If you really want to see why you do things, then don't do them and see what happens. We are constantly trying to hold it all together. It's the commotion the mind makes about life that really causes the problems. ItвЂ™s the same way when you decide to turn toward God-you just do it.Д®ventually you will see that the real cause of problem is not life itself. You just pick your head up and look at the sun. If you hid from the sun for years and then chose to come out of your darkness, the sun would still be shining as if you had never left. Your relationship with God is the same as your relationship with the sun. You are just having fun experiencing whatever happens next.

You are free to walk this world without a problem on your mind. The reward for not protecting your psyche is liberation. Ninety-nine percent of your thoughts are a complete waste of time. You have to understand that it is your attempt to get special experiences from life that makes you miss the actual experience of life.

Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself, or give it to yourself. When a problem is disturbing you, don't ask, 'What should I do about it?' Ask, 'What part of me is being disturbed by this? The mind is a place where the soul goes to hide from the heart. If you truly love someone, your love sees past their humanness. There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind - you are the one who hears it.
