On occasion I would find myself considering embarking or about to actually embark on a particular course of action and would get the sense that I was being observed. Not by security personnel or people or the like. But as if a personal entity was observing. I didn't get a notion that 'it' was telling me not to do it - the observation was passive.
But the fact of being observed thus would cause a bit of unease about what it was I was intending to do. And sometimes I aborted the mission.
3 guesses as to who it was.
Your conscience?

Re: you are being watched, but....

But just because you may be aware of God, angels and benevolent people (the spirits of just men made perfect) observing you, some others become too aware of dark forces watching them as well, and it drives them to paranoia.
What does it feel like when the boogeyman is watching?
Or Santa Claus?
(He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when you are bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!)

OK, I get it.
But the point is, the basis of all morality is the internalization of "what would others think of what I am doing if they saw me do it?"

Buz, you look it up.
nwr provided you a link to the etymology of the word in the post you are replying to and you still got it wrong.

Seriously though, it has just occured to me that I watched a lot of TV when I was little.
It seems quite posible that I could have watched other people on telly and extroplated from that.
When I used to watch TV a lot, I would have dreams in an "observational" style, like on a sound stage.
Now that I don't watch TV any more, I tend to have more "first person" type dreams.
