“The best way to free yourself from this incessant chatter is to step back and view it objectively. Just view the voice as a vocalizing mechanism that is capable of making it appear like someone is in there talking to you. Don’t think about it; just notice it. No matter what the voice is saying, it’s all the same. It doesn’t matter if it’s saying nice things or mean things, worldly things or spiritual things. It doesn’t matter because it’s still just a voice talking inside your head. In fact, the only way to get your distance from this voice is to stop differentiating what it’s saying. Stop feeling that one thing it says is you and the other thing it says is not you. If you’re hearing it talk, it’s obviously not you. You are the one who hears the voice. You are the one who notices that it’s talking.”
― Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

“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. If you don’t understand this, you will try to figure out which of the many things the voice says is really you. People go through so many changes in the name of “trying to find myself.”
― Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

“True personal growth is about transcending the part of you that is not okay and needs protection. This is done by constantly remembering that you are the one inside that notices the voice talking. That is the way out. The one inside who is aware that you are always talking to yourself about yourself is always silent. It is a doorway to the depths of your being. To be aware that you are watching the voice talk is to stand on the threshold of a fantastic inner journey.”

“—Ahora vamos a ver otro mundo diferente —decía Cándido—, y puede apostarse ciento contra uno que allí todo va bien, porque a la verdad lo que pasa en el nuestro, así en lo moral como en lo físico, sólo ofrece motivos de aflicción y disgusto. Por de contado, este mar es mucho mejor sin comparación que el de nuestra Europa, mucho más tranquilo, y los vientos más constantes. Sin duda el nuevo mundo es el mejor de los universos posibles, y espero que en él viviremos dichosos.”
― Voltaire, Cándido (Clasicõs)
