Consciousness And Thoughts

[Swagala]

I just listened to a guided meditation and as I was going through the video, I started to be conscious of thoughts. I didn't identify myself with them, I just let them happen as if they were background noise. Now, that got me thinking: Is the conscious, real me capable of thinking? I was recalling the moment I stopped identifying with the thoughts and I wondered if the talking to myself in my head was the conscious, real me or just another one of those thoughts.

@Swagala The real you don't exist.

Ta-da!

So what are you calling "me"?

@Swagala a thought is a thought. It’s happening. It requires no identification.

Does thinking require an object to be thought?  Or is thinking the be-all and end-all of itself?

[Nahm]

@Telepresent no. There are no objects. Not even a thought.
