- Description: What it is that precedes *what* we notice? Could it be who-we-really-are? 👁️

We had our Daily Reminders [Group Call](https://www.gilespcroft.com/premium-group-calls/) the other day, and as I was reading out a couple of questions that people had sent in I spotted an identical phrase that cropped up in both of them:

👁️

****I am noticing**

Those on the call will have observed that it stopped me dead in my tracks, in that way that insight tends to – something I didn’t quite understand (intellectually) but that came with a deeper feeling of ‘rightness’.

Enough of a feeling to give pause.

Because in each of those questions, what followed—the *content*—was very different. An expression of the *human*.

> The [illusory separate self](https://www.gilespcroft.com/created-not-discovered/), manifest.

But what came before—*“I am noticing”*—was exactly the same. An expression of the *being*.

> One.

And of course our experience of life is both these things:

- Human. And being.
- Form. And formless.
- Humanity. And divinity.
- Left brain consciousness. And right.
- Psychology. And spirit.
- Distraction. And presence.
- Experience. And *“I am noticing”* experience.

It got me thinking that *“I am noticing”* is a great metaphor for who-we-really-are.

Not *“I am the noticer”* – that’s a slippery slope towards the creation of yet more thought-created ego identities.

No, simply the notic*ing*.

> **Being (v.)**

Maybe this is what they mean when they talk about an ‘inner eye’.

Or ‘look within’.

p.s. If this Daily Reminder (or anything else, for that matter!) serves up that *“deeper feeling of ‘rightness’”* then I recommend actually *taking* the pause it’s offering you. Not trying to figure it out, but just resting in the [not knowing](https://www.gilespcroft.com/youre-not-going-to-unravel-the-mysteries-of-the-universe/) for a bit.

Because this is how change occurs.
