How can you be so sure about this? You asked...
Where do all these thoughts arise from and where do they get hooked. >> >> > Do you mean the verbal thoughts in my head? because if you do, they arise in language and language is definitely of the domain of being a person in a body. If you mean pictures that arise in consciousness, these are simply subconscious reflections of something happening somewhere and until they are interpreted they arise for no-one. The universe is an empty mind happening until we language it into being something for someone. It can be said they arise in an empty mind only if I were to suppose that the mind would no longer be empty and the tree would be falling and making a sound. Bottom line... This is not correct. > > Like the wind stirs and then dissipates in space, or like clouds that > appear and disappear in the otherwise cloudless desert sky, thoughts > appear and disappear in that space of "YOU."

Surely "I Am" is just a position? a self referencing point of view? anterior to any thought about itself? > > When the identity begins to shift from the cloud/typhoon to the space, > what is being indicated will make sense.

Don't be a wanker! > > this suggests moving from an inner space to an outer space so I disagree with the notion of space because space implies NOT the objects contained in the space and surely when ones identity shifts from me looking out to I have no idea where I am or what constitutes a point of contact between me and it so I must be it, then one realises there is no place to get to, one is already here! never needs to climax or move towards one, there is just this!
