#self observing

[furiousgoldfish]

Do you all also constantly observe yourselves from the outside in your head? Thinking 'If someone was looking at me right now how would they perceive me? What would they think?'

It could be trauma specific thing because our parents wanted us to always feel like we're under surveillance and harshly judged for our every move, even when they're not around, based on the worst possible interpretation. Are you always anxious because some invisible all-seeing entity might be interpreting your actions as worthy of punishment?

Can one observe the movement of the self?

One is a seeker, one is questioning; therefore one rejects completely all information provided by others about oneself. Will one do that? One will not, because it is much safer to accept authority. Then one feels secure. But if one does completely reject the authority of everybody, how does one observe the movement of the self? - for the self is not static, it is moving, living, acting. How does one observe something that is that is tremendously active, full of urges, ambitions, greed, romaticism? Which means: can one observe the movement of the self with all of its desires and fears, without knowledge acquired from others or which one has acquired in examining oneself?

Relationship is between two images

Why is that we human beings have not been able to solve this problem of relationship though we have lived on this earth for millions of years? Is it because each one has his own particular image put together by thought, and that our relationship is based on two images, the image that the man creates about her and the image the woman creates about him? So in this relationship we are as two images living together. That is a fact. If you observe yourself very closely, if one may point out, you have created an image about her and she has created a picture, a verbal structure, about you. So relationship is between these two images. These images have been put together by thought. And thought is not love.
