About the observer and the being observed

 

When the hypnotic impression of there being an observer (self) and the being observed(others and environment) is being discovered and recognised, the world suddenly appears somewhat illusionary.

And we can't help but be amazed by the incredible realness of the Phenomenal world. There appears to be the continuous and spontaneous arising of phenomenality following by its disappearance and re-appearance. The appearing and disappearing of phenomena and thoughts are somewhat similar in certain aspect to quantum physics.

Also, what we termed as 'our self' appears to be consciousness being wholly identified and focussed with thoughts and sensation and yet are not being fully awared or recognised as what they really are.

From my understanding, the manifested Phenomenal world and the Unmanifested are not 2 separate things. They are the same thing exihibiting differences in properties. This could perhaps explain for the appearing and subsequent dissolving/disappearing/de-manifesting of thoughts and sensations. Very often, self-recognisition of the thoughts (as they are) brings about their dissolving (de-manifesting) into what appears like an 'expanded vastness'. I am not very good at expressing and describing this. And I apologise for it if it seems confusing.

When in this state, the sense of a self is greatly reduced. In another word, the conventional way of seeing is no longer there. By the conventional way, I am referring to the usual mode of seeing with 'me' perceiving the world. Instead, in this state, there is only perceptions without the perciever. However, this does not mean that thinking has ceased. Thinking is still there, but there is an understanding that there is no thinker apart from the thinking process.

For your necessary ponderance. Thank you for reading.
