158 Quotes by Michael A. Singer

Stop defining the disturbed mind as a negative experience; just see if you can relax behind it. When your mind is disturbed, don’t ask, “What do I do about this?” Instead ask, “Who am I that notices this?

You will not be able to solve anything outside until you own how the situation affects you inside.

You have to understand that it is your attempt to get special experiences from life that makes you miss the actual experience of life.

Do not doubt your ability to remove the root cause of the disturbance inside of you. It really can go away.

We now experience the daily need to defend our self-concepts rather than our bodies.

When you get clear enough, you will realize that the real problem is that there is something inside of you that can have a problem with almost anything.

You can wake up in the morning, look forward to the day, and not worry about what will happen. Your daily life can be like a vacation. Work can be fun; family can be fun; you can just enjoy all of it. That does not mean you don’t do your best; you just have fun doing your best. Then, at night when you go to sleep, you let it all go. You just live your life without getting uptight and worrying about it. You actually live life instead of fearing or fighting it.

The very fact that you can see the disturbance means that you are not it.

You’re floating in empty space in a universe that goes on forever. If you have to be here, at least be happy and enjoy the experience.
