“Conversations on Non-duality”
Emotion Is the Mind Seeking Time and Separation ~ Katie Davis, Author, "Awake Joy"
It is not that we are attempting to avoid emotion or escape. That would be the mind’s resistance and fear. In fact, by welcoming them, feeling them fully, observing how they operate in relationship to the mind that we are able to transcend psychological pain. You might in fact perceive that most of the suffering is within the resistance and in your imagination of how deep that emptiness might be. When we inquire into the depth of these emotions, it is the birthing of true compassion. It is also the realization of what lies beneath.
Of course, you are always welcome to continue surfing the waves of emotion, while the mind assists the spin or … rest as the abode of wise love.

I Am the Witness Only: "Who Am I" Remains the Only Essential Question by Katie Davis, Author, "Awake Joy"
When I speak of the “I am the witness only,” the witnessing consciousness, generally speaking a profound and spontaneous detachment occurs. The world of form, including the former reference point “I am the dream body,” seems somewhat remote and almost like heat haze.
Having realized that it cannot find itself ANYWHERE within form, it surrenders deeper; the only thing that seems true is the subject-witness. Some are teaching from this reference point.
It is profound since being-consciousness-bliss is dynamically at the forefront, yet the dream body and its life situation have not yet fully transformed. Suffering is still possible for the dream body, but there is no one there to suffer. This is the witness, enlightenment has not yet “happened” and neither has Self-realization.
Detachment is not separation. It actually allows the energetic beauty of oneness which is why I call it the Beauty Trap. One does not have as much incentive to continue the inquiry when everything seems beautiful … yet the dream body continues suffering … and no one suffers!
For the witness, generally the personal “I am” of the self-observer has transcended to the impersonal “AM” of the witness.
The witness study is generally one of formlessness, hence that feeling of being “between two worlds.” It witnesses a remote dream body and its dream but is more fascinated with witnessing formlessness. Its purpose is to eradicate the collective pain body. In other words, it still has an object of observation.. either “Heart” or “world of form.”
Enlightenment is the disappearance of the universe and it is beyond consciousness and unconsciousness. The realization of Non-duality.
Self-realization is the CONSCIOUS recognition that “I AM THAT!” It is the complete integration of formlessness as all form.
YOU are beyond all and without contradiction ALL.
Yet first things first. One can only realize who one is … and in due time, one will then realize what all else is.
