We can simultaneously observe our impression of ourselves and our impression of the world around us. This process has amazing power, especially when we observe with love.
This process dissolves the veil of impressions and moves us towards Oneness.
It feels really good.
P.S. All impressions are false.
P.P.S. Please do not underestimate the value of this simple process. It could serve as the backbone of a complete self-help system. It could be the foundation of an enlightenment retreat.
The various observer meditations will empower your experience with this process.

When I attempt to observe impressions (or perceptions) of myself and of the world I have tended to get angry and judgmental toward myself for “having” false impressions. In short, fighting myself and/or impressions. Some of those impressions are quite painful and terrifying. But I don’t give up practicing “observing without reacting”. Thanks for continuing to remind Jim.
