 The distinction of witnessing consciousness from mind and objects appears dualistic from the empirical order perspective but transitions to nonduality from the absolute perspective. Witnessing consciousness is the bridge between the two orders, an ontological primitive that is fundamental to one’s self as well as all reality. Pure consciousness matches the nature of nondual existence as free of name and form. Consciousness is “pure”, in that it is free from any relation, predication, or intentionality. Consciousness is unlike any object because it is unobjectifiable. It is ultimately not even subject to time or space, which are themselves objects of the witness. Like pure existence, consciousness is self-established. It has no parts, is irreducible, and stands outside of causation and dependence relations. Consciousness is a constant unchanging presence, the only continuity of existence persisting through the process of infinite object reductions in searching for an object’s metaphysical ground. It resists qualification, eliminative reduction, or dependence on a second thing.
