On: Our Brains Are Not Multi-Threaded

[Gene_Parmesan]

Sometimes when I'm meditating I experience a mini ego-loss. I come out of it feeling like I'm merely a collection of running processes over which I have little to no control. I feel like I get a brief glimpse of 'multithreads,' and it's somewhat emotionally unpleasant.

Yes exactly. My first comment was based on what I experience when meditating.

I think it helps not to identify the self as the thoughts/processes of the mind, the self is the observer/awareness
