Deepak Chopra Instagram – #AskDeepak My Response: This sense of the dispassionate observer within is your Being.  This awareness accompanies your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, without getting emotionally involved with them.  This is an indication of a greater spiritual awakening.  It shows the development of the true self as independent from the changing, limiting qualities of the mind, feelings, body, and senses.  Don’t worry, you are not becoming an insensitive, uncaring person.  This is a temporary stage that is heightened by the strong contrast this state of awareness has to the old ego-based self that defined itself with its identification with every feeling, drama, and attitude it experienced.  The emergence of the silent witness self is laying the groundwork for a more genuinely compassionate, giving, and intuitive you that can feel others’ emotional core and can help and support them without losing your own strength and center. Love, Deepak
