Where is the "person" there ?
The thing looking at this screen and typing is the person.
Where is the "I" or Self ? in that organism ?
It is assumed to be the organism.
Does it happen (the experiencing) in the body of the organism ?
Yes.
Is it experienced as thoughts(mind) ?
What is experienced as thoughts, the person? Yes.

It is assumed to be the organism.

experienced as thoughts, the person? Yes.
So the "person" the I or Self, is the stuff of thoughts ? Is that your experience ?

Ali said: It's stuff of thought, but it's not my experience.
So what is the process that takes stuff of thought to be solid reality, even while knowing it is just mind ?

Does the mind have such integrity that it should be always believed ?

I don't know, I've been conditioned to believe in it.

I've been conditioned to believe in it.
Before we consider de-conditioning, there needs to be certainty that thoughts have no implicit integrity.
Are there thoughts that you 'catch out' as being stupid, wrong, or just plain irrelevant ?
Watching your thoughts for 5 minutes should be enough to expose this.

Yes, sometimes unnecessary thoughts pop up. I can't say that thoughts have no integrity.. some are very helpful.

Yes, some are helpful, some are not.
Do they deserve the belief that they have integrity, just because they are thoughts ?
Do all thoughts have integrity ?

Some of them.
Do all thoughts have integrity ?
No, only some. The ones that are assumed to be thought from me or the ones that aren't known to be useless have integrity.
