How is self-inquiry different from observation ?

I find self-inquiry is guided by an empirical investigation (i.e. using observation) into "who am I." Or what I find more helpful "what am I?"

It's not.

With self inquiry, you also observe :)

"observe"

The key is what you observe.

In self inquiry you observe the I-feeling, you, being.

You are the subject.

There is a big difference observing objects or you as a subject.

Self-inquiry needs conceptual questions which then prompt the mind to feel out awareness, which then causes certain empirical insights to be attained.  This causes awareness empiphanies.  That’s the dynamic or at least a dynamic.  

Watch — 3 great vids from Leo: Could’ve been a Trilogy.  You gotta build your inquiry muscles like anything else in life that’s worth something.  These videos will get you started.  It looks like philosophy at first, but it has different aims.  You’ll see as you go through it.
