Makes a lot of sense. Stilling the ego. This reminds me of ethnographic practice, where it resembles the 'etic' stance - seeking to stand away, outside and just watch. Hard to do (or so they say), because of the crowding in of the self all the time, filtering and interpreting. The opposite is the 'emic', when you knowingly join the space and people in it and take part in their experience.
