Looking for a guide to push me through the gate

You pointed at what "I" in the thought "I am Fairhill" referred to, didn't you?
My question is, what's there where you pointed at?

That should be the "I" that the thoughts referred to.

Where I'm pointing there is the body.

[Bananafish]

Again, which part of the body?

Hmm..looking...

It appears almost like thoughts thinking about themselves, when the monologue is going on, "I am this, I am that, etc..", thinking it is a separate entity when in fact its just thoughts and thoughts about thoughts..

Sometimes it can refer to the body or my experience, for example if I am thinking "I am tall" or "I am angry", the I is pointing to this body or this emotional state (as opposed to the height or emotional state of another person)..

when in fact its just thoughts and thoughts about thoughts.

NIce. :) Could you focus on this point and re-observe thoughts?
Please share what you found out.

Yes, will do so later today. To let you know, I have some busy days from now until 15th of June but I will try to still post daily.

Ok, Fairhill, thanks for letting me know. :)
Yes. If time allows, please post daily.

I've been trying to observe more but no further insights yet.

[Bananafish]

Ok. :) Another question here to look a when you observe thoughts.


Is the "I" in the content of the thoughts pointing to a fixed thing,
or does it point to different things?

[Bananafish]

Sorry typo ...

to look at, I meant.
