"You awake only to find that you are still dreaming."

~mise-n-abyme

Talking of the witness should not lead to the idea that there is a witness and something else apart from him that he is witnessing.

The witness really means the light that illumines the seer, the seen, and the process of seeing.

Before, during, and after the triads of seer, seen, and seeing, the illumination exists. It alone exists always.

- Ramana Maharshi

There is no one standing apart watching life go by like a spectator.

There is only the light in which the watcher, the watched, and the watching itself all appear.

That light was already there before the seer, the seen, and the seeing arose.

It remains all through their existence, and it remains unmoved even after they dissolve.

You are not the witness standing outside experience.
