Let's find who I am. Am I a thought? Let's find out.
The thought "rock" is, clearly, not a rock. It's just the thought of a rock.
and
An actual rock is, clearly, not a thought. A thought, even the thought of a rock, is not and never can be a rock.
Let's get personal.
If a thought is not a rock and a rock is not a thought, and that's true, right, then it follows ...
The thought "me" or "you" is neither me or you. It's just a thought. This can never be me or you.
and
What you and I are can never, ever be a thought!
So what are we?
If we are not a thought, we are left speechless, aren't we?
If you are absolutely certain that a rock is not a thought and you are not a thought, then ...
Why continue the search for you as a thought? It's hopeless. No one can find themselves as ANY thought.
Even the feeling of me comes and goes and I notice that it's there when I'm attending to the thought of me. So if I'm not a thought, then I'm not even this feeling of me.
Forget the self, forget finding the self. Thought is just a happening. It comes and goes. It is never anything but itself. You ARE this immediate web of dancing infinite connections, which the mind can never know. Enjoy - get into the not knowing.
