The archetype of the witness is the one who can observe without needing to fix something. With practice, the witness eventually becomes the act of witnessing and can refrain from engaging.

This is quite a great challenge for most of us due to our domestication, to witness without engaging. We have been taught and disciplined to spring into action when things aren’t going as we think they should and solve or fix the perceived problem.

If we don’t sense any problems we become restless and search for something to solve by creating a problem to keep us occupied. It is believed that if we remain occupied with fixing we will escape our mortality and will never die because we have things to accomplish.

It is much easier to take on the role of the witness when the event is far removed from our localized reality. Like when it is in another country, state, city, or neighborhood.  In distancing the event we can then subdue the emotional charge around the event.

Yet when it is tied to our work or family we quite often get triggered and call on our past conditioning to quickly resolve it momentarily.

Today on our planet there is so much drama vying for our attention.

Now more than ever it is important to develop the act of witnessing.

In David Hawkins’s consciousness scale there are three distinct categories of witnessing.

The lowest frequency or vibration is the victim, where everything is happening to you. All of your experiences are witnessed through your painful events in this lifetime and past lifetimes. Your consciousness has shame, guilt, fear, anger, grief, and pride all entailed in it.

You view life as tragic, demanding disappointing, hopeless, evil, and miserable. You experience life through anxiety, depression, and negativity. You keep blaming others and things outside of yourself for how you are. You have completely separated from your divine ability to co-create a beautiful life, to walk in the way of beauty.

Eventually, you might find yourself rising out of this observation as the victim and work to become victorious or the victor. Quite often you are responding to the event through your past conditioning and any attempt to solve these still has you engaging with the past and trying to fix things to make it better.

There are many strategies on how to do this that give people temporary relief from their distorted projection onto the reality mirror. But eventually, the old pattern reemerges and you are again reaching for a new way to fix your reality. It’s like putting duct tape on it and hoping for the best. Eventually the leak springs anew and engages you by occupying your attention into find a way to fix it.

Think of it interns of a dog and it’s stick. Something keeps throwing the stick and you the dog chase after it, bringing it back so you can waiting for it to be thrown again so you have something to chase after. Keeping you occupied with a reality that is at best futile in it’s return and you begin to tire of the result and the observer starts to emerge as the true you.  It seems better than chasing your own tail.

The Victor consciousness attempts to reason the way out, accept, find the courage and willingness to continue. The visitor views life as acceptable, satisfactory, hopeful, giving it meaning. They become producing and have an endless list of task to accomplish. There is a sense of relieve in accomplishing parts of the endless list. As it fixes one thing it adds on another just so it has something meaningful to engage with.

As the observer emerges you start to realize that it’s possible to observe what is going on in the world around you and not have to fix any of it. You can become a non-doer. The more you begin to observe, the more faith you have in allowing the true nature of things to unfold for your highest and best, you just sit back and watch it unfold.

In the Hawkins scale this is known as the vehicle. When you become the vehicle you leave the driving and navigating up to the divine energy that has orchestrated all this in the first place. You realize that there is no punishing force that has it out for you and has left you needing to act on it’s behalf to correct the mistakes you belief it or you have made.

When you are the act of observing you  will always be taken to a place better than you have imagined for yourself.

In allowing this your consciousness you become love, joy, peace and eventually enlightenment. you experience life through synchronicities, having trust in the process. You have affluence through compassion and loving what is. You see everything as perfect, complete, supportive and magical. You see yourself as extraordinary, intuitive and you create your dream accordingly.

By being the observing, you dream your world into being by co-creating with the source of all things. This relationship with co-creating is your faith in your feminine aspects to create pure beauty  reflecting the love that you are. You step out of the masculine mindset of needing to do and to solve and you allow things to be created on your behalf. You allow the mother of all mothers to create for you perfection and invoke the grace in creativity.

The witnessing or observing is who you really are, it is who you were born as. It is who you will be when you leave this body behind in death. You not a human being you are consciousness on an extended vacation as a human being. You are not this body you currently occupy.

Most of us have forgot that this time on this planet is a retreat, where we are experiencing the mysteries of being in dense energetic human form. We have gotten caught up in the drama of such a dense reality and identify with it so we can fit into the “human race.”

We identify with, attach to, and fiercely defend the events that shaped our view of ourselves, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

We forget who we really are. We are not what happened to us, we are the act of witnessing.

The act of witnessing is not a passive act, in fact is very active. When we simply witness the event unfolding around us, we experience the truth of what is occurring. We don’t become traumatized by it. We don’t create an identity out of it and we don’t use it as a means to judge ourselves as worthy of the divine witnessing we already are. We realize that the truth doesn’t need us to validate it as truth, it simply is truth.

We don’t wage wars over ideologies and belief systems. We don’t discriminate against those who are not like us.

Rather we realize everyone and everything is perfection, including ourselves.

When we talk about awakening and going on a spiritual journey, we are really eluding to the developing of our witnessing. To returning to our divine state of non-doing. We even drop the identity of a being and find ourselves as the act of creating. We are the reflection of the mother of all mothers.
