“You, therefore, have to get rid of the sensation that there is you the thinker watching the thoughts, you the feeler separate from and trying to control the feelings. Because so long as that separation exists you’ll have trouble.”

— Alan Watts

huh, I'll have to think about that one

What’s your experience with going down this rabbit hole?

Have you found it something amenable to logic? Or do you have to give it patience, time?

Have you gained more control, or I suppose more accurately, are you more mindful these days, thanks to the practice?

You the "thinker" exists, just in the form of a unified consciousness/awareness, which all thoughts exist in and are a part of.

Precisely.
