"Witnessing is not a journey from thought to no-thought; it is the art of simply seeing without judgment, allowing thoughts to arise and dissolve in pure awareness."
According to Osho, self-analysis is not the first step to witnessing; it is the opposite. Analysis multiplies thoughts and entangles you, while witnessing is no-thought: just seeing without judging. There is no road from thought to no-thought—drop judging, allow thoughts to arise, and simply watch with pure, choiceless awareness.
Don’t analyze your thoughts; let them come and go while you quietly watch, like clouds passing in the sky.
