Can the conditioned mind go beyond itself?

Can one totally eliminate in observation the activity of the 'me'?

Is the observer looking at consciousness different from that looked at?

Isn't the observer the past, with his experiences, knowledge, hurts and sorrows?

Being the past, is the observer capable of looking at what is going on around him now?

When one has insight that the observer is the observed what takes place?

With no interpretation, escape or rationalization is there energy to go beyond?

If the 'me' is not, where is fear?
