Where does the observed spring from in relation to the observer?

The observed is a reflection of the observer's own unconsciousness; when awareness awakens, the illusions of the mind dissolve, revealing the truth of your inner state.

— Osho
According to Osho, the observed arises from the observer’s own unconsciousness: maya, like a dream, is a projection born from sleep, slumber, and repression. When awareness is absent, the mind decorates lies that appear true; when awareness dawns, the projection withdraws. Thus, your experiences reveal your inner state, not objective reality.

What you see is like a dream you’re making while half-asleep; wake up and it fades.
