Observer is an assigned identity, like soul, to a spiritual phenomenon. When something is manifested, it means that it can be observed. The property of being observed exists in the fact of manifestation.

Definition of OBSERVER
When things are manifested they can interact with other things that are manifested. Observation is such an interaction that results in a meaning that fits with all other meanings. This we call the process of assimilation. This leads to perception, awareness and knowledge.
That which is being observed depends on the focus of attention. At the back of that attention is the unseen frame of reference in which the thing being observed acquires its meaning. The attention may turn around and focus on the “frame of reference” itself. But, at the back of this turned around attention there would be another unseen frame of reference.
The observer is simply this unseen “frame of reference.” It is inherent to the process of observation. It appears as separate from the thing being observed. We assign this “frame of reference” an identity, such as, the eyes, the body, the mind, the soul, or the spirit. But the actual frame of reference is the oneness of meaning. It is highly abstract and it does not have a fixed identity.
Problem arises when the “observer” is given a fixed identity, or individuality, such as, the body, or a fixed pattern of thinking. It is then unable to maintain oneness of meaning.
The observer has no individuality or identity to speak of. It is the frame of reference that continually evolves to maintain oneness of meaning.
In Christianity, the observer is identified as God, and humans are considered to be observers in its image.
In Scientology, the humans, symbolized as thetans, are considered to be the observers.
In Hinduism, the observer is unknowable, but that observer deludes itself to be the limited human self.

Misconceptions
1. Anything that you are identifying yourself unknowingly with, is a misconception. In Hinduism, this misconception is called MAYA. When you discover such identifications you are freeing yourself from misconceptions.

The Postulate
When one has a sense of “Unknowable,” it is given meaning by postulates. All scientific theories, philosophic rumination and religious faith come about this way.
Dictionaries define a postulate as something claimed to be true, which is then used as a basis for reasoning. A postulate is a creative thought that brings about greater clarity to existing reality. For example, Einstein’s postulate, “The speed of light is a universal constant” brought greater clarity to the concepts of space and time.
A postulate is something well-thought out to fill the holes in a big picture. Currently, holes exist in the picture of the universe as painted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics and the General Theory of Relativity. Astute postulates are needed to fill these holes.
A postulate anchors a whole framework of reasoning. It is continued to be refined by eliminating misconceptions. An arbitrary postulate, when introduced, distorts reality.

Notes
A postulate is the starting point of a chain of logic. It has no prior logic. It is constrained only by the overall postulate of oneness. It means that all postulates must be continuous, consistent and harmonious with each other.
