Psychologically separating inner thoughts from a “central thinker” is a reflection of age-old ignorance and internal deception. People have been doing this for myriads of generations, and the effects of this inner conflict radiate out into the outer world (as chaos, disorder, and conflict that we see every day in the news). As was suggested in the previous posting, the “thinker” is a learned protrusion of the thoughts, nothing more. Without the thoughts, there would be no thinker. This thought/thinker division is a delusory misconception. It involves inner conflict and illusory separation. There is no separate “thinker” dominating and controlling thoughts from some psychological distance. The separate “thinker” is a concoction of the thinking process. There is no separate thinker; a dominating, central “thinker” is just a crude, divisive misconception. As thoughts arise, the mind is actually the thoughts, and all thoughts are reactions. To go beyond the falsehood that so many embrace can bring an order (i.e., a profound awareness) that is beyond friction, separation, and dominating conflict. In doing so, mindless selfishness dissipates. Such a “doing” involves a tremendous mutation in (and “as”) the total mind. Then there is less friction, less energy wastage, and no self-deception. (Then the mind may often joyfully and intelligently exist beyond the mundane reactions of thinking.) However, an apathetic mind of fear, indifference, habit, and limitation will, unfortunately, not be interested in this. It will continue to react as it always has, without ever realizing the immeasurable treasures that exist beyond mediocrity.
