Ego Trap? Or True Observer?

[abrakamowse]

This is what's happening to me. I try to observe and not get attached to any feeling or thought. It works well, but sometimes I began to think... and if that's not the "observer"??? If that is my ego?

How do I know is not the ego fooling me?

[abrakamowse]

Ok, I got it. 

I'm doing it wrong.

This is what it says it is: A THOUGHT  

Don't identify with any thought. See them for what they are: THOUGHTS, let them go. Don't even put yourself down for having thoughts...just see, let go. see, let go.

No,I think the observer is the real self. That presence is you my friend.

I was doing it wrong as well! Thanks for the link and discussion

OK, the question was, I specify: Who has the position (concept), that observation can happen, but not by you?

You get the question?

[Isle of View]

So, does it inply there is no Self?

[Ayla]

[Isle of View]

 Interesting stance.

Pretty boring though.
(From my perspective, no offense.)

Can you tell me some benefits of this belief? Or some practical uses...

 

[Isle of View]

OK, let's see what a belief is:

Quote

Simple Definition of belief

1) a feeling of being sure that someone or something exists or that something is true

2) a feeling that something is good, right, or valuable

3) a feeling of trust in the worth or ability of someone

So what is it good for? Why promoting that there is no Self?

[Isle of View]

Of course, once deprived from the Self... there is no interest in anything anymore, I guess.

 

[Isle of View]

Oh, there is an I although there is no Self?

Quite interesting. 

[Isle of View]

You may try.

I'm not enlightened but in my primitive mind I can image that the I... is the famous "I AM"

:-)

[abrakamowse]

As I said, I'm not enlightened but I feel the ego (self) diminishing more and more, and let me tell you that my interests are much more quantity and better than before, when I thought "I" was in control. Now everything seems to be like new. You see things with a different eyes than before. More natural and it follows like a pattern and a flow.
