"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."
- Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself
Never have I heard the voice of my mind louder than now. Once the voices of external bullies are finally, finally out of your ear, then the bullying voice of the mind takes over and can be even more incessant.
The onion is peeled back, and at its core is quiet and tranquil, but those layers must be peeled off and thrown on the compost pile or it will never be reached.
Every time Michael A. Singer asks which of the voices in your head are you? I cry out, "All of them!" and he says, "None of them!" at the same time and my mind is obliterated in the best way possible.
