Template:Shadows of Witnessing

From Everyday Enlightenment

Within the Lens of Witnessing, is the ability to shift into a state of Association where you are merely watching or Witnessing events in the moment, without any sense of The Self.

  • Looming Shadow - Present Moment Denial, is a polar distortion of Witnessing - refusing to see the present moment as it truly is, and instead moving into a state of denial of reality.
  • Flickering Shadow - Emotional Projection, is when an experience of Witnessing is tainted by Judgment or attaching values to The Now. For example, if you are in a very meditative peaceful state, it might seem natural to assign those same emotions to whatever you are Witnessing, rather than experiencing the reality of the moment.
