This YouTube video (transcript excerpt) discusses the mechanics of thought, distinguishing conscious and subconscious aspects as facets of a single general consciousness. The speaker argues that the true self is the observer of thinking, but most people are 'in' their thoughts and thus entangled with the emotional content they generate.
I think it's what we've really gotten a handle on in the last 30 years is the mechanics of thought. And what I mean by that is, you know, we all have. We talk about the conscious mind, the subconscious mind. Well, we're really talking about different aspects of one entity. You know, aspects of our consciousness, of our general consciousness. And who are we really? Well, we're outside of that. Meaning we are the one who observes the thinking. The problem is that for most people, they're in their thinking. That's the. Their perspective. They're in their thinking. So they aren't really independent from the emotional content of the thoughts.
