Witness Consciousness
The most ancient philosophies of holism established four levels of human reality. The first level is the waking state. The second level is the dream state. The third level is the deep sleep state and the fourth level is the state of witness consciousness. Consciousness thus is the substratum of all human experience as delineated by these ancient philosophies. The four levels are offered as proof to the validity of consciousness as the Source.
The philosophical delineation is easy to understand and is as follows..... who is always watching your experience while you are awake? Who is the real experiencer of the waking state? It is consciousness. Who is the witness of the dream state? Who really experiences the dream and reports it to you when you wake? It is consciousness. Who is the witness of the deep sleep state? Who experiences deep sleep and informs you when you wake that you have enjoyed deep sleep? It is consciousness. Who is the witness of the three states of waking, dream and deep sleep? It is consciousness. Source is a witnessing consciousness and it is the substratum of all experience.
Consider this truth in this moment..... Who is watching as you are reading these words on this computer screen? It is consciousness. The words that you are reading are also consciousness and so is the computer within which they appear. Thus, consciousness is watching consciousness or consciousness is watching itself. Within this awareness, right here and right now, you are experiencing unified consciousness or wholeness.
Contemplate this during your meditations this coming week. Remain aware that it is you as Source Consciousness that is watching the meditative experience that is happening. Thus you will know that you are a witnessing consciousness and duration in witness consciousness will expand to the experience of unified consciousness in which you are aware that you are watching yourself. Again, there is only One.
