Writer. Former builder. Paranoid schizophrenic. Writing about the difference between what the mind produces and what the self decides.
You are what you choose.

Soren Voss

Sit

The self shows up the first time you don’t get up.

Stay

The practice is not the silence. The practice is the staying.

Stand

The temple is where you learn. The day is where you live.

The mind produces.

ou are not the machine.

You are the one who chooses.

That is enough.

WRITER. BUILDER. SCHIZOPHRENIC.

What remains when you stop claiming the noise

Soren Voss writes about the difference between what your mind produces and what you actually choose. Drawing on philosophy, lived experience, and a mind that never goes quiet, his work offers a framework for anyone who has ever mistaken an impulse for a thought.

Sit. Stay. Stand.

A Schizophrenic’s Guide to Meditation. Soren’s first book — about the three decisions that make up a self, and why the loud room teaches more than the quiet one. Coming soon.
