Psychological interpretation

Watch without condemning one's own reactions to life: they reveal the being one is and the present condition of one's earth. One does not condemn what is found but starts to subdue it; and one's reactions after an assumption show whether one has really changed. (1953, in the idiom of Ouspensky's and Nicoll's self-observation.)

by an uncritical observation of self, watch the being you are
see the condition of the earth as it is now by the uncritical observation of your reactions to life
the acceptance of self is the essence of the moral problem of the world
If they are as they were, I have not identified myself with my choice, for my reactions are automatic
the changing of the feeling of “I” results in a change of reaction, which change of reaction is a change of environment and behavior
