Yes, & I can only assume if you are asking you have also. But was it concentration or getting free from yourself & your own emotional input to be an observer for a moment. Is this not what is meant by "In the world but not of it"?

Well, being disposed to obsessiveness, I learned from inclination, and others, to concentrate and observe - but whether that reveals the true nature of anything, including myself, I really do not know. However, I'm glad enough of the results though they can be inconvenient to achieve! Especially as when I was a kid I feared for a while that I had no power to concentrate, no determination - until I learned that a wider view aided lateral thinking, and I could always use stubborness instead.

No, because that would be the garden variety hypothetical deductive error. The true nature of something is not necessarily found through observation, especially when what is observed may be also observing the observer. An observer's problematic nature may or may not incline toward truth seeking, which is highly dependent on leisure. Those engaged in a struggle for self-preservation, for example, put themselves in jeopardy by not seeking those ends.
Your question is a conceit of "thought by committee". The development of the subject-object relationship levels what truth can be found in a particular idiom. Since I observe truth-saying to be a common and idiomatic undertaking, it leads me to tentatively conclude that thought itself is to be thought about. And only an individual with time apart form others ("objects") may legitimately carry out the given.

Hi Rena,
I can't think of this happenning to me and generally I feel when it comes to finding 'insight' I am the opposite to what you described. If I concentrate too hard or long on something my brain starts to feel frazzled and I have to walk away and allow myself to dwell subconsciously on the matter. Even to sleep on it. I just naturally do this now. If it's important I sow the seeds of thought in my head and leave my subconscious to do the rest. Eventually the ideas come that help me think about it in different ways and become more insightful.

I don't know if I've ever found the true nature of someone or something. The closest I've come is to FEEL that the consciousness, energy or force within me is the very same force within the other as well.
