What Is A Thought?

What is this thing –this experience– we call thought?

Don’t use more thoughts, concepts, or definitions to explore this. Explore it in direct experience. How does it show up? Are there images? Sounds? Sensations?

It seems that the experience of thought is absolutely obvious and also totally unfindable, empty, and mysterious. It’s fascinating that thought feels so powerful and victimizing at times. We can’t even find this thing that seems to victimize us.

There can be so much freedom in exploring this mystery.

Good, short talk on a very ephemeral subject. I mean, what is more fleeting and hard to capture than a thought? Amy provides a lot insight into the nature of thoughts but no ultimate answer to the question: what is a thought? I am still searching.

Yes that's it..just be curious and rest in the mystery of life..the not knowing 🙏😌🌟

Such an interesting question, one we rarely entertain, but so very freeing when we do. Thanks for sharing.
