The Untethered Soul

This above all: to thine own self be true.

The only way to find peace and contentment is to stop thinking about yourself.

You are the one who hears the voice. You are the one who notices that it’s talking.

You’ll never be free of problems until you are free from the part within that has so many problems.

If you want to achieve peace in the face of your problems, you must understand why you perceive a particular situation as a problem.

Come to know the one who watches the voice, and you will come to know one of the great mysteries of creation.

If you spend some time observing this mental voice, the first thing you will notice is that it never shuts up.

Notice that the voice takes both sides of the conversation. It doesn’t care which side it takes, just as long as it gets to keep on talking.

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.

The best way to free yourself from this incessant chatter is to step back and view it objectively.
