“’Positive observation’ is to be aware of everything, without criticising, condemning or qualifying, but raising awareness, perceiving what is experienced, without conflicts or fragmenting.
“Observing makes us mentally alert and makes us know ourselves. It makes us intelligent, wise and understanding. It also makes us feel alive, located in the immediate present in the fullness of the place where we are ‘here and now’, without seeing the past. It fills us with special vitality. It makes us sensitive and loving, so that a mysterious and overwhelming silence, full of Compassionate Love ensues in us, flooding ALL that surrounds us, producing peace and goodness.
“Let us externally observe, where we are, objects, a landscape, the streets, the houses, the buildings, and people. Let us internally observe our thoughts, feelings, body, mental processes, ideas, concepts, “archetypes” and programming we have recorded, and how our thoughts change in our heads.
“Say to your mind ‘Peace, calm down’, and to any negativity ‘I erase you’. Emotionally observe your feelings, hatred, aggressiveness, insults, bad wishes towards others, dislikes, arguments with others, and decree: ‘I Am Love’.
“Physically observe your movements and how you act. If you disparage someone, criticise your spiritual group, insult a person, do not participate when you are spending time with someone or neglect them, you may decree ‘I forgive myself for the misuse of energy’.
“Only if we observe as spectators of ourselves, we will know ourselves. Hence, it is the beginning of a transformation in our affairs and our raising awareness. However, it is necessary to eliminate the thoughts that misinterpret reality, judgement, condemnation of ourselves or self-pity. This is observing ourselves without judgment. As long as we become aware of these things, we will consecutively realize our Being, the “I AM” Presence.
“If we observe, we can understand. If we understand, we start to know. When understanding a virtue, the power and effect of a mantra or an attitude, we do not need to work to develop it because it automatically acts through our consciousness.
“When you do not observe, you are asleep, lethargic, unconsciously doing what is harmful to you, and making mistakes out of ignorance, observe your mistakes to correct them and erase them. Affirm ‘I Am the Seeing-eye of God’.
Let us observe ourselves
‘You avoid observing yourself when you excessively talk, listen to strident music, drink alcohol or use drugs. Do not question because you damage the observation with your qualification. Do not justify your mistakes because your mind is skilful, so as not to discover its own fault, it looks for the faults in others. Unconsciously a thief steals, a murderer kills, or a warrior attacks and makes others suffer. When we realize the evil we do, we no longer execute it anymore. Let us have courage, intelligence and decision, and not bother about our mistakes, but transmute them, decreeing ‘I forgive and erase this mistake from my life’.
“The defects that we see in others are those that we have. Hatred, division, the lack of love, and the fragmentation that we see in another person is the projection of what we have inside. Pointing out others’ defects is to denounce our defects. When we observe, we develop consciousness. Observing wisdom makes us wise.”
