158 Quotes by Michael A. Singer

Your relationship with God is the same as your relationship with 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. You don’t need to apologize. You just pick your head up and look at the sun. It’s the same way when you decide to turn toward God – you just do it.

In the end, if you stay happy, you win.

No solution can possibly exist while you’re lost in the energy of a problem.

Your center of consciousness is always stronger than the energy that is pulling on it. You just have to be willing to exercise your will.

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?

Consciousness is the highest word you will ever utter.

Once you clearly see the disturbed part, then ask, “Who is it that sees this? Who notices this inner disturbance?” Asking this is the solution to your every problem. The very fact that you can see the disturbance means that you are not it. The process of seeing something requires a subject-object relationship. The subject is called “The Witness” because it is the one who sees what’s happening.

One should view their spiritual work as learning to live life without stress, problems, fear, or melodrama.

You do not want this stuff inside your heart. To feel great love and freedom, to find the presence of God within you, all of this stored pain must go. It is in this inner work that spirituality becomes a reality. Spiritual growth exists in that moment when you are consciously willing to pay the price of freedom. You must be willing at all times, in all circumstances, to remain conscious in the face of pain and to work with your heart by relaxing and remaining open.
