" V: But Robert, don't you think that was the one interesting thing

U.G. brought out in this thing, the condition of what he called

the " parallel thought process " going on. We don't take it that way. I

take it that I am seeing my thought, or I have an idea and I can

preserve it as such and he is very clear when he says that what

actually takes place is the mind splitting itself up into parallel

movements of thought, so while one tought is going on, another

thought is moving alongside it, judging it, and these images

reverbertate form one to the other. So I tend to think, like I

believe most of us do, according to what you've said, I am standing

at a distance from the rest of the crazy thoughts and I can kind of

control them. What he is trying to expose--with such deep insight--

and it is very difficult to understand it, because most of us don't

realize there is this parallel movement of thought....

 

second Visitor: Because that movement is always there?

 

V: Yes, but do you see why it is so strong, so powerful? Because in

the essence of parallel movement of thought lies the image of myself

as a concrete entity. I really believe that is " me, " that is my ego,

which is judgeing whether or not I am clever, or something like that;

whether my thought is moving in the right direction. It is constantly

censoring everything and pretending the process to be different from

all the other thoughts inside of me; it sort of gets separated out

from the rest of the thought process, but it is just the same thought

process.

 

Second visitor: That is which makes it difficult to see, because we

see from that " I " .

 

 

V: More than that, It may be that which is responsible for the whole

thought process itself, because it sems to be the center of gravity

like the sun around which all other thoughts spin and are kept in

motion. Because of the clinging to that image of myself as an

independent " I " who is clever enough to eventually get out of this

whole quandary that we are discussing; therefore all thought is

dependent upon that, all thought circumnavigates it. And I keep

calling it " I " , because I have split up things into the observer and

the observed, or, if you like, the thinker and the thought, but they

are both pure thought, purely mechanical movements. "
