  One technique I&apos;ve found useful goes like this. When sitting and being bombarded with random thoughts, ask yourself one simple question: &apos;What shall I think of next&apos;? I think the concept is exactly the same as you describe here since the result is the same, it interrupts the flow of thoughts and redirects your focus on something that cannot be &apos;thought&apos;. &nbsp;Hope it helps someone!

  We don&apos;t meditate to get rid of the problems, it is to know ourselves and dissolve into emptiness and realize that everything is oneness and become the source itself so we can delve deeper into consciousness of what knowledge we want with clear thought and wisdom

  The question &apos;Who am I?&apos; is not really meant to get an answer, the question &apos;Who am I?&apos; is meant to dissolve the questioner. ~Ramana Maharshi

  Spot on bro great analogy, you nailed it. From 20 years of meditation experience your 100% correct. Mind is creating everything and all experience is false. Its just the road to the self and the witness or awareness &nbsp;will lead you there. Thank you!

  For years, I kept searching for a way of manifesting that actually made sense to me. Then I randomly found Amara Lorne arche type quiz and filled it out out of curiosity. The result described me almost perfectly, and I’ve looked at manifesting completely differently ever since. I’d recommend it to anyone who feels like they’ve hit a wall.

  Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A great rendition of what I discovered 20 years ago. If I would care to add something to your wonderful talk, I also discovered that the concept of stepping back kind of get you that 180° view. I discovered that I was not my thoughts, I discovered that I was the curator of many thoughts coming and going through my mind. I discovered that I am part of a huge huge space. Infinite. Weightless. Devoid of emotion, although this gives me time to practice love, which is much more than an emotion.

  This is a good video and as a practitioner of Dzogchen I could not agree more. However, the technique while extremely effective, is very advanced. Most people who come to meditation need to learn to still and control their mind, though a meditative concentration practice, first, before they move to what Dzogchen/Ati Yoga or Vedantic methods calls &quot;Watching the Watcher&quot; &quot;Observing the Observer&quot;. You said it yourself, you&apos;ve been meditating for years. That counts big time. Most people don&apos;t understand that meditative concentration, a laser focus, will eventually widen to a vast view. So they stop at &quot;Silent witness&quot;, but never change. The next step is to &quot;Witness the Witnessing&quot;, then the &quot;I&quot; is seen through, but it&apos;s necessary to function in the world. Hence the Dzogchen statement &quot;Whether thoughts are present or not matters little; their arising or lack of arising, IS the Fundamental Ground, Primordial Awareness.&quot; Put simply, people just don&apos;t go from white belt to black belt, immediately. You don&apos;t give an 8 oz steak to a newborn.
