Ok, for today watch labelling process. Move eyes around your room. Notice that where attention goes, labelling kicks in. Notice what labels apear- some are descriptive, others trigger memory and story starts to be told.
Observe how thoughts label objects and how they label actions. Is there a labeller?
Write a report in the evening.

thoughts pop up as descriptions with flashes of mental pictures both made up and memorys tell a vivid story about what ever I see at the time. its more of a habbit of thought then anything else. no labeler just labels. actions are a means to an end. and objects are rated good or bad wither they make me happy or not same with actions.

Great!
So now let's look at labels closer.
I breathe- breathing is happening. Is the first label truer than the second? Is there an I that does the breathing?
I walk- walking is happening.
I hear- hearing is happening
I move fingers- fingers are moving
I type- typing is happening
I yawn- yawning is happening
And so on. Play with this and see if there is an I in any action or it's just a label assumed for a doer.
White after some time you spend with this.
Much love.

its all happening without a controler. I find myself just watching what my body is doing and its all independent. when I want something done its already being played out with my body it would seem as if Im going along for the ride. Im begining to see how I is better left for language.

Great stuff.
Have a look deeper here- when I want something done..- how does that work? Where does wanting come from? Is there a you that wants stuff done?
How does this work?

wanting comes from lack of something apart from what i already have. their is plenty of things I wish to obtain or do but alot are actions taken in responce to an event that I feel obligated to do out of fear of losing well being.

I find the search for awakining its self can be a struggle. Asking what this thing is without knowing it is madning because ther isnt an answer to be found in the mind but thats all I have been tought to use. Is the search itself the problem it seems all the masters found it by accident. By the way thank you for helping me out with this.

You are welcome, my friend.
Yes the search is the struggle because the searcher is trying to find home when he has never left home. It's a joke, because all that people are looking for its right here, always. And yet the search continues.
Now without avoidance and denial of what feels 100% true, answer the question.
Do you exist? Is there a you in any shape or form in reality?
