I don't think I could find a thinker _separate_ of thought at all.
And what about an observer separate from what is observed?
excitement about the question comes. (that which is labeled excitement + interpretation comes)
it's a question, alright. As opposed to an answer coming the question is ...

Re: good place
Can you find a thinker separate from the thought itself?
it "feels" like the opposite is true.
With every thought arising there is a certain quality to that thought , that feels like the one thing that could be a thinker.
is it useful to take "it feels like this, that" as an answer?
that ...

Re: good place
Good.
So are you the thinker of thoughts?
there's a believe that I can't possibly be able to really see that. Fun, surprising (o.o) okay!
the usual chatter about good enough, yadayadayada.
the whole body is surprised about the question.
hmmmmm sort of not.
how can the thought "but what am I ...

Re: good place
So doubt/resistance is a lie in the body (tension)?
not a lie themselves, but there's an attitude toward them, that seems can be described as a lie.
They can be just in the body, and then nothing is to do. But, maybe it has more to do with believing the thing to be doubt + resistance / "two ...

Re: good place
What happens in the body when doubt appears?
There's tension arising.
in a way, I recall thinking that this is doubt+resistance to doubt.
But when, uhm, seeing them both as the very same thing, it's so clean, it so clear.
Seeing that problem+resistance to problem are the very same thing, it's ...

Re: good place
And if doubt is seen to be just another thought, what then?
well, "I" can see a lot of thoughts keeping track of what "I" am doing.
For example that sentence right there is such a thought.
Things are arising and that thought comes and narrates what i am doing ( "I am doing seeing thoughts ...

Re: good place
It frequently feels like being on a rollercoaster and noticing the wagon is slowly rolling toward an edge.
Drop in the stomach, the strange rushing sensation in the legs. It’s kind of a good description of the sensation, that rollercoaster example

Re: good place
it's really interesting to see how this (doesn't) interact with doubt.
Because doubt comes in every thought (well, you know, a lot of thoughts).
The content of thoughts is... surprisingly cruel also.
I feel so breathtakingly grateful to see that. astonishing really. I'm moved. There's being moved ...

Re: good place
can you say more about what the direct experience of ‘in the body’ is? What happens in the body?
It’s like, for example, there feeling of „dread“ is (may be) actually the confirmation thought / b thought.
And, uh, that interpretation sort of makes a door fall away. It’s like it’s dropping ...

Re: good place
it feels like there's a mechanism running here, that allows thoughts to not be heard, but stored in "the body" (whatever that is), in hopes of them not "taking effect" that way. (whatever that is).
Doubt for example, or "Thought B" seems very prone to be rejected like that.
