Well, there's nobody who is there to respond to or notice the response, but the mind is capable of recognizing the pattern (at first I just put no, but I wanted to clarify. After all, if there was nothing there to notice the response (and the pattern of responses), how would it have arisen in conscious attention?)).
Just to be clear, I am not saying there is no noticing of anything, even those things we label patterns of responses. I am also not saying that there aren't any arising that appear to appear. Appearances appear and we label it 'mind' and focus like a lens on certain aspects of Experience and analyze it. Is it clear that even though there are appearances... that they do NOT appear to anyone or anything, even a 'mind'. Is it clear that what we call 'mind' is simply a label over an Alive Expression?
Ask yourself this... does there have to be a perceiver to perceive? What if perceptions perceived themselves? What if everything around you is self-aware, non-dual, shifting and Alive? but who cares about what I just said. DROP IT, and LOOK and SEE for yourself.
Yeah. I'm not always aware of it, especially when my mind wanders, but once I bring my focus back it's clear.
regardless of whether a 'mind' is perceived as wandering or in the present or lost in itself, is it clear that there is no actual entity called 'mind' and no You to own it?
is it clear that there is no you to bring focus back, and focus just happens.
is it clear that there is nothing to be clear about? there is No You :) Is it True?
LOOK & SEE. Want the Truth more than anything else and burn for it. do you want it?
