A spiritual being feels as though they are always against the edge, and they are constantly being pushed through it… If you are willing to just stand at the edge and keep walking, you will go beyond. You used to pull back when it got uncomfortable. Now you relax and let go past that point… When you are trained, like a great athlete, to immediately relax through your edges when they get hit, then it’s all over… You end up loving your edges because they point your way to freedom. All you have to do is constantly relax and fall into them.

— Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: the journey beyond yourself
