In my last blog, Reflections on ‘The Observer Is the Observed’, i shared my thoughts on the dualistic nature of the Observer and the Observed from both the scientific and philosophical perspectives in reference to J Krishnamurthy (JK) and David Bohm. With essentially the insight being, when one witnesses the Observer and the Observed, it ends the dualistic nature of our experience and giving rise to pure consciousness or awareness.
In this blog i will focus on reducing the energy drain caused by intense emotions and use that energy to stay witness to everything happening within us and around us. Sadness, fear, anger, jealousy are intense drain on our energies and we often experience these emotions and notice it only after the fact. But noticing the emotion right at the moment when it is happening is the first step.
The next step is to close the gap between the emotion that is the observed and the observer that is me. JK says we are no different from the emotion we are experiencing, in fact we are that emotion. If i am feeling angry, i am the anger. The experiencer and the experienced is one. Do not create an idea in your head of the experienced emotion because that takes energy. Because if we create an idea about the experienced state of emotion, there is a conflict, we try to control it, suppress it and escape it, it drains our energy.
Emotions should not be suppressed, repressed or escaped from, but allowed to surface and not act on it. Because suppressing means action and that requires energy. Witnessing don’t require mental energy. By being a witness to any kind of emotions through complete observation, we free ourselves from attachment to our thoughts and center our energies for better purposes.
