The example is what we see through our naked eyes? Or is it what we can understand about? Are we capable of knowing the truth behind the scenes? What we see through our naked eyes is what we can describe from our perspective, which may be clouded by negativity implanted within. While in the path of understanding suffering, which is a task for a lifetime, the important thing is not unconsciously following what we see, but understanding through our third eye what happens behind the scene, as much as we can. In that sense, we are able to realise what we could get if we follow what we see, doing the same thing we are just observing. Right or wrong becomes reasonable, and anything we may have implanted within, mainly negative conditioning, gets its power and side-effects diminished.
The illusion we may have in our mind when we work on settling an example is forgetting that such an example is not to be unconsciously followed but understood. When we use our consciousness we are not conditioning anyone, promoting the regression of what could be an evolution. The majority of the time, mainly when we observe anything on the outside, we have no idea about what happens behind the scene we just start to follow, the configuration making its occurrence possible, and so on. We just get into a period of suffering where we perform a judgement of what we see, with no understanding of it first.
Consciousness makes the self to realise that everything has a reason to happen, and any observed scene pops up the 2WH questions of "Why?", "What?", and "How?", no matter who or what we are observing. Answering those questions is important to the process of understanding through our third eye what we have seen with our naked eyes. By doing that, we may realise some of the aforementioned questions we would not be able to answer by ourselves alone, before talking with everyone participating on the scene, and getting the proof to build up our answers. Therefore, with no proof, which is what we commonly get on our external observations, we can settle our non-judgemental attitude towards another.
Related to the self, and the privileged access we have within, when we use our consciousness we get better equipped to understand what happens inside, settling our non-judgemental attitude towards the self. What I am describing to you about being non-judgemental, and following the example by understanding it, are things not clearly written in any Buddha's teachings. However, somehow it is the essence of his teachings about being non-judgemental I can get the big picture of, sharing with all of you, readers, a bit of the power that consciousness provides to the self.
Unfortunately, some of us get more negativity implanted than others. Some of us have to deal with such implanted things daily, being correlated with the negativity observed in the vicinity, with no possibility to take it off by a snap of fingers. We have just to adapt to the fact that our thoughts, our actions, the sensation we have within our body, can be caused, and have the source on, such implanted seeds, like a grain of rice we get inside our mouth, being stuck in some cavity related to our teeths. When we get no consciousness about such a grain of rice there, we could draw a lot of hypotheses related to the side-effects we may sense. However, when consciousness is on the table to be used by the self, we would be able to recognise where the rice is, acting and adapting our actions and behaviours to diminish its negative side-effects.
