When you identify with mind, you may view self as different from or even superior to, a point of reference. You may ask, "Am I a human looking at a tree or a tree imagining I am human?" You may ask, "Am I the mountain coming toward a human or a human approaching a mountain?" or, "Am I observing the accused in court or the awareness of unresolved fear, guilt and a yen for self-purification within?" Regardless of chosen examples, what matters is why you open to a given experience, and what do you feel invited to remember now?
As long as you notice difference, you are lost in illusion at the level of mind and obscure reality. When there is a self, this is the witness. In pure consciousness, nothing happens. The witness to whatever you are experiencing right now is not a person. This comes into being when you create reason for it. Everything is a momentary event unless you mkae something out of nothing. How is that synchronicity?
