Quote of the Moment
“Philosophers ask me, “Who is chosing not to think (to identify with the mind-made story)? Is it something that happens to me or am I doing it?” And, of course, the answer is, “When it looks to you *as if* you were choosing not to think, then that is what’s happening.” So all those arguments, for those philosophers among you, “Is there a doer?” “There is no doer.” “Yes, there Is a doer.” They are both right and they are both wrong. So put the two together — yes, there is a doer if you look at it from this perspective and there is no doer looking from that perspective, and then, let’s forget the question and stop thinking…. Enlightenment begins when we awaken from our conditioned thinking.”
