Noticing the Noticer

By Pavel G. Somov, Ph.D.

Notice the body that you are

(and you aren’t).

There is nothing else

(to notice).

Notice the mind that you are

(and you aren’t).

There is nothing else

(to notice).

And now notice the Noticer:

Is it the Body witnessing its own Mind?

Is it the Mind witnessing its own Body?

Both?

Neither?
