Michael Singer Quotes

The moment in front of you is not bothering you. You're bothering yourself about the moment in front of you.

Out here on the battlefield of life, that's where you grow.

Some people say, "Why is the mind so negative?" The mind is not negative. The mind is what you stored in there. It's expressing the junk that you stored inside. In your entire life, you stored everything that ever bothered you.

The experience you are trying to experience is an inner state of being.

If it happened, it happened. The problem is not that it happened, the problem is your judgement on it.

There's something very beautiful back there. And it's you. But you get distracted and pulled down into your garbage. And so you learn to work your way out.

Spirituality is about letting go inside and serving outside.

What other people think of you is completely irrelevant.

It's all about coming back to the seat of self.

You're taking it personal because you built this thing called ego.

Every experience you ever had in your past should be a memory, not a samskara.

A mature person has gone through experiences in their life and they are better off because of it. But not if they resisted.

You're always better off letting go. Under all circumstances, you let go. You say, "This is life unfolding and I'm honoured to see it."

Every single thing you're holding inside of you is blocking your energy.

You're not your mind. You're the awareness that's aware of your mind.

What is suffering? The distance between reality and what you want.

Want to know how to stay open? Don't close. That's deeper than you think. If you don't close, you'll be open. That's the essence of the spiritual path.

If you have a problem with something, it's because you want it to be other than it is. That's it. It's that simple.

Instead of questioning, "How do I quiet my mind?" you ask, "Why is it not quiet?"

Nothing outside of you can fix what's wrong inside of you. You have to find out why it's wrong inside. That's a paradigm shift.

There's nothing higher than realising you're the consciousness.
