I will try to explain this a little differently. I say I see my thought. But actually, I am not seeing the thought. There isn't any thought there. This is because the seer is self-manifesting. The seer is projecting the thought. The awareness is the awareness of a seer, not a thought. There isn't any thought. The way I see it and the way it is are two different things.

Within that moment I can interpret: There is a thought-I can feel it, see it, project it, and experience it happening. But the thought itself is actually a projection of the seer. The thought is not separate from the seer. Between the thought and the seer, there are no gaps, no words or concepts, no second thoughts. When you directly face the seer, your awareness and the seer become one. The shell that divides the subject from the object completely breaks open. All that is left is the experience itself, or, you might say, pure energy.

Now how do you break that shell? We must think about this very intelligently-who sees? Who is experiencing? Just sit very quietly, gently go inside, and watch the thought. When you totally become the seer, your awareness and the watcher become united, and the seer no longer exists as a separate entity. When this occurs, you naturally feel a surge of energy. No separate forms exist. You feel a kind of shock, like a bubble that expands and expands until it pops. When you watch the watcher in this way, there is no longer any thought form. All that is left is meditation. There is no subject, no object, no dual mind. The thought disappears, and the watcher disappears. The mind is totally silent. We begin by saying, "watch the thought," but eventually you will understand that the thought and the watcher are the same.
