Who is the thinker?

Satsang with Burt Harding.

You are a human being. Human is thought and Being is awareness. The world we experience is thought. When we think about that thought we have created a thinker (ego). Are we the thinker or the awareness that made it possible?

I agree with you that the thinker is a fabrication of mind. It has no reality. But your question about knowing and awareness is confusing. You didn't define what you meant by "knowing". Knowing could be defined as having intellectual knowledge. In fact, to know something is usually understood in this manner. He "knows" chemistry. She "knows" her math. Yada yada yada. If I was in that room, using "knowing" in this context, I would have said knowing requires thought, awareness doesn't.

man! i saw one of your videos ..... I am not sure if you are really genuine. I thought you were...but then in one of your videos you were promoting what you do. Do you think Ramana Maharshi would do what you were doing? Please...

Show me one person who lives without fear, and so without limits, who accepts pain and fear of pain in all situations, and makes their decisions based on ...? Love, show me on person who is only love and not fear, one person who goes again and again to the places with the most fear, the most disaster to absorb it, as that person is only love.

Language is such a sloppy way of relating the profundity of your own experience to others. It's unfortunate how we have to carefully and intricately weave our words in such a way as to be understood by someone who is seeing things from an entirely different vantage point than our own. Not to mention the sheer number of languages on earth and the way the internet is shaping the way people communicate. It seems to me that we are evolving back toward a more natural telepathic state of oneness.

It's funny I've never seen you before. But this is the place where I am. There is only one certainty and that is thought. I think we mistake the physical work as being real and our life is real. We are just thoughts in a mind, a mind we will never see or know. We are all part of the one thought yet individual. So lets get on with it before the thought is gone.

he doesn't actually answer the question...

From my perspective it seems like this: thoughts arises and thinker arise by themselves, the pain that comes with thought arises by itself there is no one there.

there is no control, there is just the appearance of someone in pain and someone trying to get rid of the pain, trying to get rid of thought. thats stops when it stops...

i dont know....meh

we do thought. it doesn't just happen. We make mind. It doesn't just happen. There is a Place of No-mind. There is a Place that is no-thought. Yes you can help this. We are responsible of thoughts. There is a Great Alternative to making this separative activity. We don't need to make thought unless it is necessary to do so. That Great Alternative is to contemplate Adi Da. Please read and listen to his Great Teaching regarding the self-contraction and realize That Place of Real God.
