Lord Pentland: But I don’t think that what is beyond self-observation ─ self-development ― is to mentally know what my weaknesses are, what my type is, and to be able to remember that and correct it. So what is beyond self-observation? You want to say? What is self-development?
Questioner: Transformation?
Lord Pentland: Yes. What is transformation? The work begins with self-observation. So what goes beyond self-observation? What practice?
Questioner: The power to see, to be separate from the observer, to lose the observer.
Lord Pentland: Yes. It’s true. It’s right. But you could put it very simply. What goes beyond self-observation is more self-observation. Being able to observe myself all the time instead of just at moments, which is seeing. Self-observation itself is a meeting point of the levels, the part that sees and the part that is seen. You understand me? And what goes beyond self-observation is to be responsible for self-observation, to be able to self-observe myself all the time, not just sometime.
