Part 9/11:
The practice of mindful awareness reveals that seeing, hearing, thinking, and feeling are all parts of one seamless process. There is no need to distinguish one as separate from the other. When you look at something, you are seeing; when you hear, you are hearing; when you think, you are thinking.
However, our split-mind creates the illusion of a separate "I" that controls or owns these experiences. The key to liberation lies in recognizing that the "thinker" behind the thoughts is an illusion—an emergent phenomenon arising from the flow of experience, not an independent entity.
