When one watches the mind, it is impossible, it seems to me, not to come upon the question "what, or who, is the watcher?". And the growing realisation that the watcher is not different from the watched is the realisation that ..... transforms (if I can use that word), everything.
The very labels that we use to describe or delineate what is seen in the watching - like scary, folly, beautiful, rich .... good, bad, etc, all all projections of the watcher,
And in this realisation that the watcher is the watched it is seen that the mind is changing all the time. So I AM changing all the time. There are no fixed points. Yes, watching the mind is indeed interesting, fascinating - and life changing.
