Self-examination is impossible because there's no thinker. You can't examine yourself and observe your thoughts. I haven't identified my thoughts as negative because that's impossible. Right? I am my thoughts so whatever I say or do, it's not my fault. And I should accept this as truth. Well no

Thats not what i'm saying at all gypsy. * +

So if you stopped thinking there is a self who retains the ability to think but he chooses not to think at that time? You believe their is a person,an ''i'' a true self that is just not thinking at that moment?. * +
