When we are high above things looking down–like in a plane or atop a tall building–things seems smaller far below, less big, less overwhelming.
Such is witness consciousness to our lives. The significance the ego puts on things lessens, being judgmental lessens, things seem less “ours” and we become more merely present. We can think more clearly, and be more accepting of everything. From this vantage point, we are freer to choose more wisely, having a bigger picture.
Such is the big picture of witness consciousness.
Such is the human heart that loves.
