Is the feeling of remaining the same as a child a sign of my witness or something else?

outcome
"Your unchanged sense of being, the same as when you were a child, is the witness; in witnessing, even childhood dissolves, revealing the pure subjectivity of awareness."
According to Osho, that unchanged sense of being—the same as when you were a child—is your witness. First, childhood may appear as an object you observe; keep witnessing without clinging. Soon even ‘childhood’ dissolves, leaving only pure subjectivity—the empty mirror of awareness. This nothingness is nirvana. Continue until only witnessing remains, alone without a second.
The steady feeling you’ve had since childhood is your watching awareness; keep gently watching until even the idea of childhood falls away and only clear awareness remains.
Why this matters practically
- Don’t cling to pleasant states; keep witnessing.
- Loosens identification with moods and memories, easing suffering.
- Cultivates stable peace by resting as awareness, not experiences.
