Does Observing want to be Observed?

[Mellowmarsh]

Or, does observing not want to be observed?

 

Does awakening happen only when observing observes itself? And would observing want this awakening, or would it try to avoid awakening from ever happening ? Would it prefer to remain forever veiled from itself in hiding?

Every Human Being wants to be More than What it is Right Now! That is fact, and that is the Desiring Process its built into Us, this is the natural arising of Spirituality within Us!  But we are Ego identified to such a high degree that it blinds us to this process..

Observation as a practice is basic stuff, it creates a space btwn You and Mind in a way, so that You can recognize that You are not the Mind or Body... After that sooner or later You have to increase Your Energy/Life Force within, that is really where it starts to happen!!

You are doing nothing.

God is doing You.

I’ve got nothing to hide by being 💯 real with you ^.^

You might ask, for example, who is doing the observing or perceiving? The question isn't pointing to some imagined entity, but to you, the very one asking it. Keep digging until you have a breakthrough. You seem to be heading in the right direction. Just keep the subject of your contemplation in mind, and whenever you get distracted, return to your most real and inmediate sense of yourself.

To awaken, you have to fall inlove with the observing self, instead of being inlove with the individual self. My teacher shared this today, thought it was beautiful and helpful.

Yes, but being real with you must also include hiding from you, so that you may shine too. Otherwise, God would be confined to shadowland.

God hides so that you can appear  'This town ain't big enough for both of us'.

Yes, this is being perceived/observed.

There can be a desire to want desire fulfilled, and there can be also a desire to return to not wanting anything. 

Dreamscape is alluring, the yank back is optional though, not a necessity. The observing could want it, but never actually need it,
