What is Witnessing?

Satchitananda (existence-consciousness-bliss) is what we contact
in deep meditation and it is what rises in us as silence, also called
the "witness state," and stabilization of this transcendent reality
as our sense of self 24/7 is the first stage of enlightenment. The
phrase "pure bliss consciousness," used often in the lessons, is
synonymous with satchitananda, inner silence, and witness. Bliss is a
key word in this. The immutable inner witness is a blissful one, and
so are we when we become it, and there is much more to come after
that.
