The power of observing

 The question is not what to do; the question is how to see. The question is not of changing your character, the question is not to become more good, to become more saintly, to be less a sinner – no, that is not the question. The question is: how to see without mind, how to see without choice. The question is not concerned with doing and action, the question is concerned with the quality of awareness.

Eckhart Tolle says you are the one listening to your thoughts and in a way he is correct, but in a way this statement can also be misleading. The observer can be a cleverly constructed part of our conditioned self—a spiritual super ego that claims to know what is “right” and what is “wrong.” It feels spiritual to observe thoughts, feelings and actions, but in reality we never leave the world of duality behind.

Observing is the answer. It’s a total acceptance of the prevailing energy in the moment at hand, and the act of observing transforms the frequency without ever connecting with the illusionary entity that wants things to be different than they are. Observing is the Holy Grail of spirituality. So what is the practice? Observe when “you” are getting lost in thought, feeling and action and observe the observer too!
