Book | Series 13: Observation

Description

The course teaches you about how observation works. To understand ourselves we have to observe ourselves. When we begin to observe ourselves we discover that our perception is impeded by several factors. The course discusses these blockages and how to remove them.

INTRODUCTION

This series discusses observation.

In the series The Mind we built a model of the mind which we call The Mind Model. The model shows the exact location of observation in the mind, so you are welcome to familiarise yourself with that series to get a clear understanding of what we are discussing when we use the term observation.

The Mind series also discusses the ability to influence the aperture of observation through focusing our attention. The lesson is titled Attention.

In the series Changing Human Behaviour we discussed the observation of our behavioural problems as the means for changing our behaviour.

The Premise:

• The observation of our behaviour is a learning about our behaviour that transforms our behaviour.

The Capability:

• By observing the cause, experience and consequence of our various reactions, we are able to formulate a general understanding of human behaviour and, at the same time, develop a unique understanding of our specific idiosyncrasy as a human.
• The observation of ourselves results in a general understanding that comprehends the commonality of mankind, and a specialised understanding that comprehends our unique variants of common problems.

In this series we discuss the factors that impede the observation of ourselves and how to overcome them.
