Pure Knowing is the Substance of All Thinking

[The Don]

Take any thought or a series of thoughts or just allow a series of thoughts to appear and it doesn't matter what the thoughts are because the nature of every thought must be the same. We can proceed to the reality of thought or mind in two steps to make it simple and experiential.

See first of all that this object called a thought albeit a subtle object is identical to the experience of thinking. Take away the label 'thought' and call it thinking. It's like taking away the label 'body' and calling it sensing. It's the equivalent of the level of thought so there's just thinking.

Thinking is something. We don't know what it is bit it is something. It's not nothing.

We recognize that all thoughts are made out of this single substance called thinking.

We ask ourselves questions in order to set our exploration in the right direction.

Is there any substance present in thinking other that the knowing of it?

Pure knowing is consciousness.
