| | I think I was trying to make something more complicated than it was. If I am disembedded from anthing that arises including consciousness or a witness, than there is no self-referential thought. To use my example from my post, a thought of a scene from my childhood is not self-referential if I objectify it.
Gary Weber says 90% of our thoughts are self-referential. Get rid of those (objectify them) and we have a quiet mind, he says. But, not necessarily, if I understand corredtly. I could have lots of phenomena arise and pass away and a very busy mind even though I have objectified each one..Right? |
