The goal of mindfulness, in the traditions I have read. Is ultimately to understand that the act of watching is no different from the thoughts being watched. It is by doing the watching that one realizes over time that there is no watcher. This leads into the idea that if there is no watcher, you/I must be the thoughts themselves. If we are the thoughts themselves, then we are the words, we are the sound waves in the air. We are the patterns in the sand, the correlations in neuronal firing, there is no distinction between inside and outside, you and I, this thing and that thing. The way something reacts is no different from what a thing is.

A lot of things that appear to be bunkum are in fact bunkum. But some things which appear to be bunkum are in fact profound truth.
