My Journey into the Unwavering State of Witness Consciousness
In the boundless journey of spiritual exploration, some moments etch themselves into the canvas of our being, becoming permanent markers that illuminate our path with unwavering light. During my conversation with Steve James on Guru Viking, I shared a glimpse into a pivotal moment in my journey – a permanent shift into the state of witness consciousness that has gracefully enveloped my being since 2008.
Witness consciousness, or the state of Sakshi Bhava in some spiritual traditions, is a state of neutral awareness, where the self transcends the transient and becomes an eternal observer, watching the unfolding of life with an unattached and unswayed presence. It is a space where the dichotomies of joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, and acceptance and resistance dissolve into a serene flow of unbroken awareness.
In 2008, I experienced a profound shift, a gentle yet irrevocable transition into a state where there’s a witness, perpetually observing everything happen, from the mundane to the profound, with a tranquil and neutral awareness. This isn’t a detached state, but rather a deeply connected one, where the observer is not isolated from the observed but is intrinsically intertwined with it, observing not as a separate entity but as a unified presence.
This state of witness consciousness has been a serene guide through the tapestry of life, allowing me to navigate through the myriad of experiences, emotions, and moments with a steady and unbroken awareness. It has allowed me to engage with life, not as a fluctuating entity, swayed by the ebbs and flows, but as a stable presence, observing, engaging, and experiencing while remaining rooted in a tranquil state of being.
The journey with witness consciousness has been a dance of duality and non-duality, where the observer and the observed, while appearing distinct, are reflections of the same boundless existence. It is a space where life unfolds in its boundless expressions, observed by a stable, unswayed presence that is both immanent and transcendent.
