A little OT but this notion that the observer is not you can be a great revelation for many people who are suffering from depression.
Because sometimes it's easy to confuse the voice in your head to be actually you and since it's you, it must be right! But when you disassociate it as a third person and maybe give it a name and treat it as a seperate entity that though lives inside you (or your head) but it is not you, you can start giving it the same treatment as you would give a negative or positive comment made by a third person about you and actually apply rational logic to what is being said by it (your observer) and even defend your position instead of just taking everything on face value or trust.
