Eckhart Tolle argues that saying
Most people don't think, because if you say, "I think," that implies that there is a volition behind it, that you have a choice in the matter, but you need some awareness to have a choice. And there are still millions of humans on the planet, they do not have the sufficient awareness to know what's going on in their minds. And so they say, "I think," as if they were doing something, but the fact is that thinking happens to them. The thinking is taking place, they can't help it.
