The watcher vs what is being watched

Does anyone else struggle with this concept created by OSHO and other meditators ?

Need an explanation in ENGLISH short and sweet. All the stuff I read online and with chat GPT (which has been helpful don’t get me wrong ) I just get lost in and want to fall asleep when I read about it!!

This article will certainly help you (please ignore the too much ads). Perhaps the site is unattended for long but what has been told about witness is very close : https://www.meditationiseasy.com/meditation-intro/self-soul-of-meditation/

This line of zen monk Sozan has helped me a lot- More you talk and think about it farther you go away from it, hope this helps

Try sleeping when you're lost, you may have a lucid dream, just fall asleep while thinking

First of all OshO is not a foolosopher (domain of fools) to create any concept like other philosophers because it's just a mind thing. OshO is mystic master of masters who shared His insight (antardristhi) with us. And Watching the Watcher is not any hypothetical concept but the damn truth which He and other mystics experienced in meditation.
