The Observer


The Observer :

Reality passes through the filter of conscious for all, but the lens of distortion is not quite so thick for the true observer. He perceives; then preserves –imbibing actuality without digestion. The observer absorbs his environment without disturbing it. The situation constantly transforms, but its account is eternal.

Reality seeps into his pores and is exuded with the steady rise and fall of respiration. The passivity is deceptive. Deep concentration is summoned and channeled into a most worthy endeavor. The moment is soon over and it no longer exists anywhere but the mind of the observer. Its validity is solely dependant on the reliability of his senses.

Reality has not changed, but the observer has. Though his objectivity is unwavering, it has forced him to lose control –as any truly equitable party should when faced with the unassailably verifiable. Being a true observer means this: focusing on reality to the point that you do not merely perceive it, but become it.
