Reflections on The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer

I was reading the last chapters of a book that offered profound insights into life and spirituality. The book concluded with these powerful words:

"As you drift back into Spirit, you will see that those are the eyes that look out upon this world. That is the heart that shines down upon everything and everyone. Through those eyes, the most wretched of creatures looks beautiful. That's the part that no one understands. People say that God cries when He looks at this earth. The saint sees that God goes into ecstasy when He looks upon this earth, under all conditions, and at all times. Ecstasy is the only thing God knows. God's nature is eternal, conscious bliss. No matter what you've done, you're not going to be the one thing that ruins it.

The beauty is that you can experience this ecstasy. And when you begin to feel this joy, that's when you'll know God's nature. Then nobody will upset or disappoint you. Nothing will create a problem. It will all appear as part of the beautiful dance of creation unfolding before you. Your natural state will get higher and higher. You'll feel love instead of shame. Instead of being unwilling to lift your eyes to the Divine because of what you've said or done, you'll see the Divine as a place of unconditional refuge."

These words perfectly encapsulate the essence of "The Untethered Soul" by Michael A. Singer.

The greatest lesson I took from reading this book was the author's perspective on letting go; letting go of the things that build up as unresolved, negative energy within us.

This is something many of us do unconsciously. We hold onto experiences, events, and emotions for too long, allowing them to become embedded in our identities when they should have been released long ago. The longer we cling to these things, the deeper they root themselves within us, clouding our awareness of everything else happening in our reality.

"The Untethered Soul" is one of the most impactful books I've read in recent years, alongside "Solve for Happy" by Mo Gawdat.

There's a lot to unpack in Singer’s work, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking, as Deepak Chopra says, "a glimpse of eternity."

Every new beginning often requires letting go of the old. And most of that letting go is internal; how we see things, how we respond, how we interpret, how we hold onto what no longer serves us.

These are just things, and to maintain awareness, we must be willing to release what is unnecessary; the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that do not align with our well-being.

If any of you have read it or have thoughts about it, I'd love to hear them.

Keep winning!
