Are you what thinks before you think ?

Are you what thinks before you think ?

[Milton Bradley]

Good question.


My reflexes are so quick I often refer to it as my thoughts shadow.


However this question takes it to a whole new dimension.

Unless there's someone in here with me, it must be me.
If there is someone else, I wish they'd tell me.

[Osborn F Enready]

I am me, and the voices and thoughts I hear that don't eminate from outside, are me.

[Kuldeep]

No, I am beyond what thinks in me but exist well before that thinks. Meaning my mind thinks, while what I call I exist all the time throughout I live in this body. So, logically speaking, my physical mind thinks, thought might get orginated in metasphysical mind with the help of ME or I !!!

Forgive me if I've completely misinterpreted this: Is this a question whether consciousness isn't actually a form of control centre? Like.. it is just the necessary byproduct of what our brain is doing on its own? To go further, its as if we think we are in control of our actions and thoughts, when really are actions and thoughts are just happening, and our consciouness a moment behind, not serving any actual function?

It is very complicated question, abstractly, it is both of it

- your brain and other things function

- you think

[Technosoul]

I asked questions but the fly did not answer and so I flew away with it's wings.

[Technosoul]

The question assumes that thinking is in two stages or that we should become the source of what causes thoughts to formulate in the mind.

As the watcher I can observe what I am thinking or dreaming from a objective point of view that is outside looking in. But most of the time I think when I am not watching or paying attention and that lack of awareness allows unwanted thoughts to manifest in the mind which are sometimes troubling to me. However if we try to stop thinking we are thinking about not thinking, and so like it or not thoughts must happen, and we can only attempt to manage things with distractions and outside noise, like playing loud music all day. (TV).

And thinking is a distraction from the stillness of self which can hide whom we are as the alternative. For thinking is a motion that is circular and it's center of relative stillness is like a force of gravity that attracts those ideas into the influence of it's the orbit. This pyramind triangle is composed of the watcher, the thinker, and the listener. And those three in combination have so claimed the idenity that I am that I am, I think therefore I am, and that is how I become me.

Yes, but you are not what brings the contents of the consciousness, there is no such thing as "you"

You are only a magic thing that can operate what is already brought

[5010]

Are you what thinks before you think ?

You are the relationship between your body and minds, both observing and directing thought and action.

[Milton Bradley]

You are the relationship between your body and minds, both observing and directing thought and action.

I pretty comfortable with that desciption.


Id, ego, super ego, I think that's what he is trying to distinguish, which is the dominant authority in your decision making process.
