The Witness

Exploring the Luminous Nature of the Mind

Mark Griffin delivers one of his most comprehensive teachings on The Witness, the nature of pure, luminous awareness. Drawn from the 2009 Weekly Meeting Series, this talk delves into the luminous nature of the mind—the ever-present observer that records all experiences.

Mark explains that The Witness is a vital aspect of consciousness, intensifying sadhana by anchoring us in awareness. Unlike fleeting thoughts or emotions, The Witness is constant, serving as the foundation of spiritual growth and self-realization.
