The Observer Self: Chapter 3 of Undefended Self
One of the most important tools
for self-transformation is awareness. Distortion, false beliefs and negativity usually result in pain and disharmony.
If we blame ourselves, fear that we are inadequate, or label our imperfections as bad or evil we can lose the best witness
we have -- our own inner knowing. Feedback from others may contain distortion or feel threatening, causing us to raise our
defense instead of opening to the grain of truth in what they offer. A strong inner Observer Self can support our process
with love.
The goal in developing an inner Observer Self is to awaken the inner teacher/healer who
is ever-present and ready to guide us, using the tools of objectivity and detachment with love and compassion. How can we
discern the energy of the Observer Self as distinct from the Ego or other inner voices? The ability to observe ourselves objectively
and compassionately is the single most important skill to develop in walking the spiritual path.
