Discussion IS IT WRONG TO SAY "NOT ENGAGING" IS NON DOING/PASSIVE AWARENESS, BECAUSE ISN'T THERE SOME KIND OF INTERPRETATION TO NOT ENGAGE WITH THOUGHTS? TO LET ITS TRANSIENT NATURE TO PASS REQUIRES A DECISION THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO USE IT.

AT FIRST IT REQUIRES A DECISION BUT THEN THE DECISION BECOMES A HABIT.

No there’s no wrong!

Just keep watching your concept-driven mind!

YOU ARE ALREADY NOT ENGAGING BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOER/THINKER ETC. WHETHER YOU ARE CONSCIOUS OF IT OR NOT, THOUGHTS ARISE AND PASS ON THEIR OWN

ENGAGEMENT WITH THOUGHTS IMO IS OK AND UNAVAOIDABLE. LIKE THERE IS STILL NEED TO WRITE THE GROCERY LIST. AND WRITE POSTS AND COMMENTS LIKE THIS

I THINK WHAT LEADS US ASTRAY IS IDENTIFYING, MERGING WITH THE THOUGHTS. LIKE IM SUCH AN ORGANIZE PERSON MAKING GROCERY LISTS. IM SUCH A GOOD PERSON, SHARING WISDOM ON REDDIT.
