(15) Inner Peace

An objective observer is filled with inner peace. The objective witness sees beyond the tension and conflict of duality into the unity consciousness of the Higher Self. This perspective offers peace to those who discover it. Unity, non-attachment and acceptance allow the observer to find inner peace.

The mind: You achieve deep, lasting peace when you no longer strive to be right, have the answers and control the outcomes. Freed from the demands of the ego personality, you begin to realize that peace is a state of being that is possible in every moment. Your mind alone cannot take you there; your heart—unconditional acceptance for everything and everyone—must follow.

The heart: An act of grace lifts you into peace when you accept who you are, what has been, what is, and what will be. If you can release the resentments of the past and worry about the future, you create the opening through which Love and peace enter. Filled with acceptance, you find stillness and inner peace.

Commit to the possibility of a peace that exists deep within you. Observe instead of judge.

(14) The Objective Observer Discerns Truth

The observing witness uses discernment to discriminate what is true from what is false. S/he analyzes and synthesizes information with awareness and objectivity. The witness is not attached to being right, having the approval of others or acquiring personal gain without concern for the whole. S/he observes self, others and life with clarity and an open mind. The objective observer focuses on getting to the truth of the matter, not controlling the outcome.

The observer perceives reality and truth with every aspect of being: body, mind, soul and spirit. S/he discovers truth by analyzing the past and assessing the future without the distortions of rigid, limited thinking and emotional turmoil. The observer is in alignment with the stillness of the moment, the inner voice of wisdom and the expanded awareness of Universal Intelligence.

In an observing, receptive state of mind, you receive an insight or creative idea from Universal Intelligence. Your task is to use reason and logic to test its foundation and evaluate its consequences for you and others.

As you observe more and judge less, you will receive and process information that helps you separate truth from distortion. In this expansive awareness your creative thinking becomes unlimited, and your rational mind is free to make wise choices and solve problems. If you are committed to truth, it will find you.

(13) Surrender Attachment to the Outcome

An objective observer surrenders the need to control outcomes. The non-attached observer does not let go of the desire for the outcome, but the need to have it a specific way and/or by a pre-determined time. This attitude brings the observer in alignment with the co-creative process, attracting the desired outcome quickly.

When you give up attachment to an outcome, you are able to recognize when you are striving to accomplish goals instead of living in the present moment. You are also able to recognize when something is not working. In both instances you need to make choices about what to do next. The observer who does not cling to outcomes will be able to take the appropriate action to change course or change a strategy.

When all you have tried is not working, let go of controlling the outcome and invite a power greater than yourself to enter the situation. As you put aside your controlling ego, you attract the answer to your question or allow the outcome to come to you. Do your best to achieve results and allow the Creative Principle to do the rest.
