The Power Of Observation

Many serious spiritual ‘teachers’ throughout history have transmitted, each in their own unique way, a truth about spiritual/personal growth that has now been proven by Quantum science. That truth is simply this; that to ‘observe’ something (in any way – directly or indirectly) causes it to change. Quantum scientists discovered this when attempting to moniter / look at their experiments. They found it impossible to do it without impacting the experiments’ results.

Now you say, "sure, to be conscious is to ‘look’ or be ‘aware’ of what is happening around us". Yes, of course. Quantum science has found that consciousness is in some mysterious way a necessary ingredient to the very creation of the material realm we find ourselves a part of. This means we are all individually  co-creating the/our world on an ongoing basis by the very act of being conscious. There are powerful ramifications, such as responsibility, which stem from that amazing fact.

But there is a bit more to know about this critically important process. From my understanding and put most simply and directly, what is important is the 'quality of the awareness'. Any form will cause change, but only if the consciousness is Objective will a complete and positive Transformation take place. Krishnamurti’s phrase says it best for me: “Choiceless Awareness or Observation of What Is”

This understanding highlights the importance of another ancient wisdom teaching; the necessity for being honest or true to ones’ self/others. (“The Truth Shall Set You Free”) Only in that way can one hope to engender the psychological capacity for objectivity/choicelessness. This requirement is one of the major challenges that all of us face on the Freedomroad, and it is deserving of all the energy commitment necessary in order to achieve it.
