If you can learn
to allow thoughts to come and go without identifying with them, without getting involved with them, then you see thoughts come and go all by themselves. In this you are not engaging the mind. Be very present and see the thought arise. The instant you see the thought arising, let go of it. Don't push it away, just let go of it. The tendency is to "jump" into the thought, to get involved with it. But it is possible to let the thought go without ever getting involved with it. When the television is on, images and sounds flash before you. If you get involved with those images, they become linear. You link the images and sounds together to create a story and then you are engrossed. Witnessing would be to let go of each image and sound as soon as they flash before you. Each image and sound never turn into a story because you are letting them go as soon as they arise. More and more you will simply experience the essence of thought, which is energy. Energy moving, as consciousness and that is blissful. Over time, you will be able to let go of the thought before it even fully manifests in your consciousness. Then a whole new world opens up.
