INTROVERSION VERSUS SUBJECTIVITY

To be an ‘introvert’ really means that you, as a thinking personality, are always looking in to your inner feeling and thought life. That is not living ‘subjectively’; it is living as an outer observer who looks within.

To live ‘subjectively’ means that the focus of your consciousness is within and that from that point you look in two directions: outward at the personality upon the physical plane and inward at the soul.

Think on this. The distinction is very real and one that we should grasp. The man/woman who knows the difference between living an introspective life and living a subjective life is well on the way to true understanding.

  1. Many thanks …a very helpful reminder…the ‘witnessing consciousness’ the ‘Observer’….I was looking out of my window and across to the lake opposite and noticed how unruffled and serene the surface of the water was….deepens my appreciation of your post…

  2. Hi there. Yes, the serene surface of water is a good reminder of the state of the ‘witnessing consciousness’, and the daily practice of meditation is a sure way to alignment with this unruffled Observer.
