OBSERVER = one who watches and takes notice without participating
QUESTION: Are you observing your mechanical nature?

STORY: Our sensory apparatus is wonderful and very valuable - however, we also know that our senses are wired to the ancient survival mechanism of “flee or fight”. For example, when we see, hear, taste, touch or smell something we enjoy - we automatically react and move closer. When we see, hear, taste, touch or smell something that frightens or disturbs us - we react by running away from it or we attack it. We must realize that our technology (Internet, social media, iPhone, computer and AI) is mechanical, just like our survival instincts. It is time today for us all to wake up and come to KNOW that there is a deeper part of us that is not mechanical! Consciousness is the deeper part of us. It is always Present in us and while we can’t sense it with our physical senses - we can feel it with our Observer Self. TRY THIS: Calmly relax and observe yourself right now. Do not label or judge yourself. Just allow yourself to feel the INNATE OBSERVER SELF consciously aware of the oneness of you and your world.
