How do I acquire objectivity through meditation?

Regular meditation gives you perspective on yourself, your habits, and your behaviors. You come to see yourself from the outside; you acquire objectivity and conscious- unconscious dissociation. This detachment from your thoughts, impressions, and emotions diminishes their power over you and increases your power over them.

You starve them of attention and energy and gain a firm sense of control over your unconscious mind. Zen Buddhism views the mind as a turbulent pool of water. If you swish your hand in a pool, for example, you stir up the mud at the bottom and make it more difficult to see.

But if you sit quietly and observe, the mud will settle; you can see clearly. Similarly, if you act aggressively and try to use your willpower to change unwanted thoughts, reactions, and behaviors or suppress negative emotions and thoughts, all you do is “muddy the pool” of your mind. You can’t change an unconscious thought or clear a negative emotion with a conscious, forceful effort.

Your unconscious mind will fight you, clamp down further on those negative emotions, or bury limiting beliefs even deeper in your body. Optimal insight and change are best achieved through calm objectivity.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
