The Principle of the Witnesser that can change One’s View of Whole Creation

By Victor M Fontane

The Universe vast and unfathomable stretches beyond what our senses can perceive and the reality we interact with daily but is a fragment of a far greater truth everything we know, our thoughts, our perceptions, our relationships with time and space and is shaped by the limitations of our Consciousness, yet this limited perspective is not the ultimate truth, it is just a construct, an intricate illusion weaved by the mind. The nature of existence is often compared to a grand simulation, everything we perceive from the physical objects around us to the intangible flow of time arises from the way our senses interpret stimuli. 

Ancient teaching often emphasize that this world is not as real as it seems but a projection shaped by the mind.Hindu philosophy refers to the phenomenon as Maya, a veil of illusion that distort our perception of the ultimate truth, similarly in Buddhist thought, Samsara represents the cycle of illusion and suffering one we must transcend to attain Liberation.The physical world that surrounds us is but a representation crafted by our senses and processed by the brain. The richness of colors, the depth of sound, the texture of objects are all interpretation of data filtered through our limited sensory faculties. For example, we perceive light within a specific Spectrum while countless other wavelengths exist beyond our vision, likewise sound frequencies, etc. This sensory limitation underscore how our understanding of reality is inherently incomplete but despite this the essence of our being, the Consciousness that perceives these Sensations is infinite and boundless, not confined by the constructs of space or time. Consciousness itself is the substratum upon which this illusion of reality is projected. The mind acting as an interpreter creates a narrative of existence enabling us to navigate the physical World however it also traps us within the illusion making us believe in the permanence and solidity of what is in essence transient and fleeting reality as we know, it can be likened to a dream just as a dream feels real while we are experiencing it our waking life appears real because of the continuity of perception and being both construct of the mind.

This idea is not new across history as different cultures and traditions have articulated similar concepts. Ancient Vedic texts described the Ultimate Reality, Brahman, as Eternal and unchanging and the physical world, Jagat, is considered impermanent and illusory, a manifestation of Brahman shaped by Maya. Similarly in modern scientific discussions parallels are drawn with the concept of a holographic Universe where the  apparent three-dimensional world is a projection of deeper multi-dimensional truths. Our existence in this simulation is driven by the play of Consciousness exploring itself and the purpose of this Grand Design is to evolve to expand awareness and to experience the infinite possibilities of being just as a sculptor shapes clay to create art. Consciousness, thus, shapes experiences, relationships and challenges to facilitate growth and every being plays a role in this cosmic dance contributing to the collective expansion however not rejecting or dismissing the physical world.

Philosophers and scientists to modern thinkers have pondered this possibility of this simulated existence are governed by universal laws which include mentalism, vibration, polarity and rhythm, serving as the scaffolding of the simulation ensuring balance and continuity. They align us with higher possibilities breaking free from the illusions which requires a shift in perception. It involves questioning the narratives we have been conditioned to accept and embracing a more expansive view of reality, meditation, introspection and mindfulness. Cultivate detachment from the ego, the part of us most entrenched in the illusion of separateness and foster a connection to the infinite Consciousness from which all things arise to also, recognize the creative power of our thoughts and intentions. Is not about escaping the world but transforming our relationship with it, about seeing the Divine in the mundane, the infinite in the finite and the Eternal in the ephemeral, recognizing that we are both, the dreamer and the dream, the Creator and the created transcending the limitations as boundless infinite Consciousness in this state of Awakening.

Navigating the physical realm with wisdom and compassion as the ultimate goal is not to reject the illusion but to transcend it to see through its veils and recognize the truth that lies beneath this truth. We find then, not only our true selves but the Divine Essence that connects us all.
