Dear Bill,
The one who wrote the reply is ‘Thinker’, he is reactive, he respond
to all stimulus from outside and inside. Or in Eckhart Tolle’s words,
the continuous voice in your head, which commands you to do this or
that is the ‘thinker’.
The seer is seer. When thoughts or thinker is absent it is felt. Pure
awareness is seer, the one who sees all traffic of mind and present
surrounding is seer.
The difficult part is when you realize that ‘thinker’ is an outside
agent, then only the seer realizes his seeing ability, else he merge
with thinker. In zen words empty mind is seer.
When a baby is born, his mind is empty or in the state of pure
awareness, then the world wanted to use the baby, it start pouring out
information in to it, the information poured into the mind now claims
himself as body and spirit since baby has no power to resist, it obeys
to the world pressure through the input.
Now the input being external agency in the baby operating it. The baby
really doesn’t know what to do on his own, but forced to follow the
world. This input is what ‘ego’ or ‘thinker’. Once this is seen
clearly spirit realizes himself as pure awareness.
This is the beginning, to realize who we really are. We are not
thinker, but seer. But this should not be again knowledge or an input
to you. Each one need to realize this on their own.
Best wishes
Suresh
