It’s Not Complicated
The ultimate truth: not two.
Observation and observed are inseparable.
Note: In the moment now, there is no observer
as an observer can be observed.
When observation is caught and held, the illusion of an observer (self) is created. Becoming occupied and excited, this self-identity creates concepts and emotions to protect its illusory image.
Then, through habit, life becomes complicated and we need more words. š
Recognising the distraction as it happens – observing anger, pride etc without identifying with it – is the only way to break the spell.
It’s not complicated, but it’s also not easy, as our habits of stubbornness are subtle and deep.
