Overthinker
TLDR ‘observer’
This reminds me of a famous saying among indian saints.
“आप स्वप्न पुरुष नहीं हो। आप तो स्वप्न द्रष्टा हो।”
You’re not the person in the dream (while dreaming, we do feel like we are the person in the dream). But when you wake up, you realize that You’re the witness of the dream.
The same can be applied to the waking state.
We witness the thoughts in our mind, BUT we do have the sense that we are consciously thinking those thoughts.
If you observe closely, you realize that those thoughts automatically come from somewhere and you have the intellectual choice to either entertain that thought, or ignore it.
So now it seems like you’re the intellect that decides what to think. But that theory can be debunked because you’re witnessing that intellect in play.
If we keep questioning the real nature of Me/I/Us, we will reach the point where we realize that we are the existence-consciousness-bliss or Sat-Chit-Ananda.
We are the reality in which all our sense experience and thought experience is projected.
Then u are a witness.
Thinker
Neither but also both.
You are a stoner brother.
You been listening to Krishnamurti?
You are obthinker…
Observer for sure. A lot of organisms exist without a functioning brain. “I think, therefore I am” is just a retarded statement

neither observer nor thinker ,,,,your are just overthinking dumbass jk
I say is you’re a philosopher
Well if you really do observe there’s only observation and the observer, thinker, controller-whatever word you may use, it dissolves.
hopping from one side to another while thinking and observing the thoughts
Why cant I be both? An observer and a thinker. Why does it have to be only OR, why cant it be AND people?

If that were the case, I would consider myself Schizophrenic.🙂
Or maybe a heroic dose of Magic Mushroom straight from Sauraha might be doing its job on me. 2 tabs of LSD would yield similar results.
The observer is the observed – j krishnamurti
Watch his video series
In an ultimate reality, you are an observer and you are nothing but an observer. But in transactional reality, you’re a thinker.
Whether it is one or the other, you’re never the thought.
