An important development in our Inner Work journey is learning to contact the "Inner Observer" or "Inner Witness." This is the permanent, ever-present part of ourselves that is separate from our personality. The Inner Observer watches the activity of the personality (i.e. planning, fantasizing, remembering, feeling, thinking) without any judgement, and in a non-reactive way. When seeing ourselves from the interior space of Inner Witness, we have a profound experience and realization: I am not my thoughts! I am not even my personality! There's something more to me!
