And meditation is a tool frequently prescribed to access the observer. It's not the only path, as the SLFBE demonstrates. As a matter of personal preference, I tend to give wide berth to the models of "soul" and "oversoul". In part this is because both are heavily laden with multiple layers of belief systems that are a real pain to untangle.
What I observe, personally, is at some point after sufficient practice the shift is found to be seamless. When I'm at work I simply begin to work and that's all there is to it. For example, if my friend gives me a name I get an instant "hit" without any rigamarole of ceremony or preparation.
A brief example:
Some years ago in Earth Time a classmate of mine died. We were friendly as kids and were both in the school band. And we part ways as people do in life. It is with some surprise I learn my old friend passed away. You know, same age and all, it's a little disconcerting, hey? In physical terms, he had a heart attack as he slept. His wife found his remains in the morning, so rather more disconcerting for her.
And while I intuit nothing is out-of-sorts, which is to say I understand no retrieval is required, I decide to "check in on him". Because, you know, I'm doing this retrieval thing and I've got a good track record that I've correlated through partnered retrievals. Many years ago, right.
So I do all this preparation that I believe is necessary. Stuff from TMI and elsewhere, the relaxed state and quieting the mind and all that. Normally (in this period) this takes me a good while to get "settled in". And as I do all this preparation for this work I hear my friend: Hurry up! I gotta go!
Quite instantly I get what some refer to as a "thought ball". I call them "downloads" these days. The sum of it is: in a slice of a moment of a slice of a moment I hold full and complete understanding of the message. Explaining it here would require a whole book chapter.
When we're doing this work the material comes in, in a non-linear fashion. Thought ball or download or strawberry walnut, doesn't matter what it's called. It's outside of language, and that's why it takes so many words to explain what occurred. This is good if you're writing a book because (in my experience) retrievals are more or less quicksilver fast. If you're telling a story to publish a book, it's necessary to have a lot of words, right?
What I relate with this tale is: in my experience, we set aside our beliefs about what should happen in favor of what does happen. Which is a really long way of saying I don't personally get hung up on the mechanics of any process.
