Where is the Silent Witness?.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Question:

Thank you for all your sharing of wisdom.  Regarding the ‘silent witness’:  when I try to meditate I have a sense that the silent witness is sort of watching over me rather than within me, and then I feel that the silent witness is everywhere, and I have dissolved into it.   My question is: am I being too cerebral thinking of the silent witness outside of me rather than within me.

Response:

You probably are thinking about the location of the silent witness too graphically. The silent witness is the quiet aspect of your Self. As it is non-local and universal, you could think of it as external. Since it is also the most personal and intimate aspect of your identity, it is also natural to think of it as inside you. But   trying to conceive of the location of the silent witness isn’t important, what matters is that it is your true Self. The silent witness is your real identity and it witnesses or watches the limited conditioned version of you.

Love,

Deepak
