Agreed.
The idea that thinking is done by the brain is just a concept
what is the direct experience of thought?
There may be many thoughts but there is only the one observer of thought.
Can any thing (thought) appear to have existence without the observing presence?

I can see a wall without thought, I can smell a rose without thought and I can hear music without thought.
'I' is the 'assumed' identity - yet 'I' is just a thought.
Really there is just seeing, hearing, smelling - sensation does not depend on thought.
Thought is just a sensation but it speaks.

Can you look at a thought as it arises? Where does a thought appear?
Are you able to choose the next thought?
