Can the observer itself be observed?

Postby thequestforthequest » Wed Sep 28, 2011 9:43 am

That which sees all, but is not seen,
that which witnesses all change, but itself it does not change,
that which was never born, and does not die
was never young and will never be old
that which knows without knowing
that which feels without feeling
that which thinks without thinking
that which sees, hears, touches, feels, smells, tastes, without seeing, hearing, touching, feeling, smeeling, tasting
that which talks without talking
that which is always here
and always right now

can that itself be observed?
Can the witness be itself witnessed?
can the observer itself be observed?
can that which never changes be seen?

This is a bit poetic and maybe should go to the Prose section? (rhetorical question)

Others are a mirror for ourselves.

Observe carefully.

The answer is the reason you came for the visit.

It was fun to be deluded. There is a sense of 'miss' in me so.

Seamus said something very interesting the other day:

He repeated the statement I make often that "You cannot blow this".

He said "Life is merely convincing yourself that you can."

Wow,

I don't even remember saying that. But it makes sense. There would be little catalyst for growth if there were no anxiety over blowing the test.
