Part Twelve — There are two distinct aspects of your inner being.

When 2024 pulled up to the gate and rang the doorbell, I answered by opening the book “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A. Singer.

Mr. Singer doesn’t waste any time and begins with the not-so-simple task of awakening consciousness. I’m still in chapter one…..yes, still.

In an effort to share my journey, learn about and have faith in myself, I’m sharing my journal entries here. I respect that your life experiences and soul journeys may look very different from mine and ask only that you respect my soul journey as well.

Come to know the one who watches the voice, and you will come to know one of the great mysteries of creation. — Michael A. Singer

Lesson Twelve: An easy way to see how much the voice talks is to notice when you’re in the shower. Do you just quietly clean your body, or is your mind busy talking? You’ll see it keeps talking — maybe it’s planning your day, complaining about bills, or daydreaming about the future. The mind chatters away all the time — in the shower, while you’re driving, or while sitting on the bus. But there is a part of you that is simply aware of the chatter. That part, the witness, is always silent. Imagine what it would be like to just peacefully clean your body or sit in your car.
