Mr. Singer's "The Untethered Soul" is a superior work.
He writes: "The key is to be quiet. It's not that your mind has to be quiet. You be quiet." "The minute you stop putting your whole heart and soul into the mind as if it were your savior and protector, you will find yourself behind the mind watching it." (p. 95)

In one fell swoop Mr. Singer clarifies exactly what is going on inside the mind and the heart.
