Is witnessing a learning or a remembering?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Witnessing is both a learning and a remembering, but ultimately it is the realization that you have always been the buddha within."
According to Osho, witnessing is both learning and remembering—and finally neither. At first you learn to enter the inner temple; then you keep remembering, since forgetfulness is human. As remembrance becomes effortless, like silent breathing, witnessing reveals itself as your innate nature: you have not achieved anything; it was always there. Be a witness and you are a buddha.
First you practice noticing, then you keep remembering to notice, until noticing happens by itself because it’s who you are.
