So, thoughts. Assuming there is an "I" associated to thoughts, can you pin it down, by describing it? How does it present - is there some spatial thing, or a set of sensations - nose maybe - or something?
Describe as you look. Post it hot off the griddle, as it were.
I can't pin it down, don't know how to do it.
Sitting in front of the mirror, looking at myself, I can see my image.
Closing my eyes, the body image feels like it is a part of me (not the actual body but its image in the head), but not in a completely identifiable way, more like there is also something else in the head that controls it, focusing again on that, trying to see whats behind that, is it just a thought or also some feeling/sensations, can't get a handle on it, now i am looking for any sensations that i can connect to this self/ i, nothing . . .
Thinking of getting up and walking a few steps, the initial thought seems like I am getting up, 'i am' walking. Focusing back to what is this "I am" that is walking/typing? Again cannot really associate a sensation/felt sense or any thing with this "I" stuff.
It seems there is this 'I' thought which sneaks up with every thought and action, it somehow attaches it self to everything, but it is a real slippery sob, can't find it when directly looking for it.
Is it just a learned way or habit of being, anyway saying the walking/typing is just happening also does not sound ok to me . . . not sure why?
