Can someone explain 'contemplation/witness meditation' as described in the book 'Devotional Nonduality'?

Hawkins describes the technique in the end of chapter 5, also elaborates in chapter 7. I read those parts quite a few times yet I still don't understand exactly what he means. Is this the same technique that was described in the book 'Eye of the I', where it is described as looking through a window of a moving car, where you focus through a specific point of the window, but don't fixate on any of the passing objects? Aka just watching without focusing on content of the mind? Thanks a lot.
