The thoughts in my mind, the stimulus-response thoughts, are like songs in my head. And I accept that aspect of myself. But they do not define me!
One of the many benefits of sitting in silence.
It is interesting that you note that revelation occurring at that point. It is possible that I also around that time frame became cognizant of almost all actions having an ego/emotional drive to them. Being armchair intellectualist, this was a strange thing to note.
