A mode of mind

Whats your mindmode? after speaking with a kazillion people it finally dawned on me that we don't think alike. Should have been obvious I guess, but I'm not talking about the things we believe and the things we think about. I'm talking about the way we think about the things we think about.

One mindmode that seems particular popular and just as troublesome to the people in this mindmode is believing that you are what you think. That the words you think about IS you. And at the same time knowing that things aren't working like they should. This mindmode is troublesome because it doesn't contain a way to correct your thinking. If you ARE your thoughts, then you can't change them, because that would mean changing your self. These people don't have any idea about the Third Space, although most seem to understand this example: Focus on something. Anything. Now if you have this thing in focus, ask yourself: From where do I focus? It seems logical to most people that if you're observing something, you must observe from somewhere. Like when you watch a game on tv, you probably observe it from couch. The same thing applies to your mind. If you observe a thought, then you observe it from somewhere. I call this place the Third Space. If you don't know about the observation point in your mind, your at one with your thoughts. And this is one of the times that being at one with something is not good.

In entertainment the aim itself is to make the spectator a part of the entertainment. In that way you empathize with the actors and, for a short while, believe what the actors believe. In sports, you identify with one of the teams and goes through an entertaining rollercoaster as your team struggles through the match.

This is all well and good. For enjoyment. But when it comes to your own life, it's really a good thing to be able to divide your self into two: The game and the spectator. And it's only when you can separate the two, that you can act as a coach and correct the mistakes you're doing in the game.

Does this make sense to you? Its a hard thing to explain to people face to face, and even harder to explain in the written word. So I need to know: Does this makes sense?
