(2,978 posts)The most difficult task to master is observation without judgement. It is better to begin observing the natural world as opposed to persons. It lessens the possibility of reverting to the I of one's own nature. Detachment from judgement is a very difficult process. Nature has no right action or wrong action. Nature has no I with which to judge.
At some point a person may be able to observer their I. If a person remains in the process refered to as personal experience, colored by emotion and filtered by layers of concepts, they are not free to observe what restricts or directs them. When the I is judged, attachment is formed.
This is not a plan to compensate for morality or ethical consideration, it is a plan on how to observer one's I from which the authentic self may be discovered. Hopefully, the healing process goes forward and suffering is diminished. It is not a process everyone is capable of doing for themselves.
Just an observation about preception for those interested.
