This AI text creates questions:
“The ‘Witness’: It is often described as the silent observer or ‘that which knows’ that persists through all experiences.
“Non-Dual Reality: It is Advaita Vedanta, non-dual, infinite awareness that constitutes the ultimate reality.”
These descriptions indicate why and when the Buddha realised something different from the Vedanta tradition. Identification with being a witness or an observer creates a moment, a period of reflection. Pure consciousness is timeless. If this text doesn’t indicate the difference between observe-ing and observer its understanding is limiting.
From the Dzogchen point of view, in the experience of non-dual pure consciousness, there is no witness or observer. There is merely witness-ing or observe-ing.
If words are telling us to believe in them but there is no indication that those words need to be tested, this would be seen as Mara activity.
It’s up to each individual to decide which is accurate.
