The fear of losing the illusory self

[Matthew]

One guide would like to highlight the following:


What exactly is witnessing?
Can an observer be found anywhere?

Where is this witness located exactly?
What is being aware?
Is there anything being aware?
Is there anything doing the being aware?

[blizzified]

What exactly is witnessing?

Hmm... I don't know. It's like it's always there.

Can an observer be found anywhere?

No observer. Just things that appear. Knowing doesn't need a "self" to observe it.

Where is this witness located exactly?

When I see an apple, the witness is together with the apple. When I see a tree, the tree is together with the witness. Actually, the word 'witness' sounds really strange now. It's like - there's just apple, there's just tree.

What is being aware?

Emptiness? I have no idea.

Is there anything being aware?

In my experience... no. There's no awareness coming off anything.

Is there anything doing the being aware?

No, it is perfectly natural. It has always been there, it doesn't need to be 'done'.
