This concept (maybe not the right word) was that occaisionally we get the impression that we are being watched.
Now, thats not to say spied on, more like by a 'live studio audience' or a panel of reveiwers. We both felt some urge to impress this 'audience' by doing whatever task was at hand as competantly as we could.
Do you sense that you are being watched and then examine it or imagine the whole thing? I certainly experience the second, and sometimes catch myself at it.
We even agreed that when we were concentrating on impressing this imaginary audience we could focus of the task very well and time would fly by.
I definately get this. Are you aware of the identity of the reviewers?
I assume most people experience this to some degree, I think it's probably as already described by others; an internal result of consciousness related to social standing and morality. We care what others think so we think about it. Maybe we recieve similar rewards when thinking it as we do when doing it.
I'm interested because, I can't help wondering that if I interepreted this feeling different I might conclude it is god.
