FREEING YOURSELF FROM YOUR MIND
What exactly do you mean by “watching the thinker”?
When someone goes to the doctor and says, “I hear a voice in my head,” he or she will most
likely be sent to a psychiatrist. The fact is that, in a very similar way, virtually
everyone hears a voice, or several voices, in their head all the time: the involuntary
thought processes that you don't realize you have the power to stop. Continuous monologues

head as often as you can. Pay particular attention to any repetitive thought patterns,
those old gramophone records that have been playing in your head perhaps for many years.
This is what I mean by “watching the thinker,” which is another way of saying: listen to
