E. Tolle has pointed out that our real selves are the awareness that we are having thoughts, not the thoughts themselves. It’s a profound exercise to spend some time having no thoughts and see how that feels. I try to imagine a blank, grey, featureless room and suppose that all thoughts would show up as something new in that room. I wait and when my ego is aware that I am watching it produce new thoughts, very few come. Then, I get to feel what it’s like to have “no thoughts” for a brief time.
