April Read

Title: The Untethered Soul: the Journey Beyond Yourself
Author: Singer, Michael
Call number: 153 S617U 2007
Summery from the publisher:
Who are you? In this remarkable book, author and spiritual guide Michael Singer explores this fundamental question, seeking the very root of consciousness in order to help readers learn how to dwell in the present moment. Written in an engaging and uncomplicated voice, this book will open readers up to the radical and powerful experience of simply being themselves.
My Read:
I found the following paragraph very inspiring:
"When you move in the Tao, you are always present. Life becomes absolutely simple. In the Tao, it's easy to see what's happening in life-it's unfolding right in front of you. But if you have all kinds of reactions going on inside because you're involved in the extremes, life seems confusing, That's because you're confused, not because life's confusing.
When you stop being confused, everything becomes simple. If you have no preference, if the only thing you want is to remain centered, then life unfolds while you simply feel for the center. There is an invisible thread that passes through everything. All things move quietly through that center balance. That is the Tao. It is really there. It is there in your relationships, in your diet, and in your business activities. It is there in everything. It is the eye of the storm. It is completely at peace."-Page 169
