Paul Garrigan on Mindfulness: Understanding 'The Knowing is not the Knower'

The more we can let go, the less we suffer. And one of the last things we let go of is that witness.
Ever had a dream that left you pondering its deeper meaning? In this thought-provoking episode of 'A Lust for Sober Life', host MrTheraPOD sits down with Paul Garrigan to unravel the concept of 'The Knowing is not the Knower'. Paul dives into his experiences with mindfulness meditation, sharing how this simple yet profound idea can reshape our understanding of self and experience. He explains that the 'witness'—a key element in mindfulness—is just another experience and not our true self.
By letting go of this belief, we can free ourselves from suffering and limitations. Drawing from Nisargadatta's teachings and Zen philosophy, Paul highlights how understanding the witness can lead to a deeper sense of self-discovery and inner peace. Whether you're new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, Paul's insights offer a fresh perspective on the journey to self-realization. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that might just change the way you see yourself.
