I appreciate the view of action in this piece. I feel that we humans mostly associate 'action' that is the word 'action' with what are actually our reactions. We call reactions actions because we are thinking and therefor unaware that we are actually a slave to reactions, which are 'acts' based in habitual tendencies.
But it seems a true act stems from an open place a place of non-condition and is lacking these normal habitual influences. It is our story and our egoic justification of it. Yet in 'seeing', as the author puts it, there is a freedom from reaction which is the most powerful action - a directed effort towards a still and pure observation.
If our effort action is carefully directed thinking will simply fade. If we force it, thinking will be repressed. In love and gratitude I word towards understanding. May you be ever well.

Observing refers to the use of all the sense organs plus the mind and is much more holistic having said that i would like observing, doing, thinking, feeling, dreaming etc to be treated as an integrated whole and not compartmentalised.
These taken together represent the essence of living being. One more thought; Experience is a very personal phenomenon. I can't quite convey it and the other doesn't quite get it.

In that website there is a short reading: "Look from Above" from Jeanne de Salzmann that can be also very useful to understand her ideas of seeing, as well as many other readings. This is a useful training for understanding our impermanence and developing the mind to operate in spaceless dimensions.

Yeah, this paragraph is deep.. It basically asks us to remove a mask of self-fear, and 'see' without that cover..

I highly recommend it. Some months ago, for three successive nights, I was awakened by three insights that came to me, persistently and repeatedly, one per night. The first night's message was: "Only the present moment is real. Doing so, for me, seems to involve a certain amount of rational insight to initially coax the thinking mind from its const Doing so, for me, seems to involve a certain amount of rational insight to initially coax the thinking mind from its constant dreaming in the foreground to letting go into taking a secondary position in the background supplied by the first message.
