Witness Consciousness and Inner Freedom
Michael Singer emphasizes the concept of 'witness consciousness' as central to achieving inner freedom. By detaching from the emotional energy of problems and observing them objectively, individuals can manage their reactions and understand that many problems stem from their own perceptions. He states, 'The only real solution is to take the seat of witness consciousness and completely change your frame of reference.' For example, instead of getting anxious in a stressful situation, one should observe these emotions without getting lost in them, thereby gaining clarity and control.
