The « thought » activity represents an effort.
The laundry washing machine is powered by electric current, itself produced by coal or else.
Observing the effort, the energy underlying the activity is subtle.
Such a detailed observation of what occurs at the point of contact between the metal tip and the socket,
between the coal thrown into the hearth and the fire,
between the effort and the drum/heart of thoughts.
Observing this implies having come into contact with this aspect of the mind phenomenon.
Other than through the energy source, the phenomenon can be approached through its consequences.
The laundry is never washed; in this cranial machine, the laundry remains dirty and molds over time. The psychological factory produces chaos, flooding the market of our reality with a thousand plastic trinkets, which we don’t know what to do with.
Our inner spaces are filled with them and disappear behind the vulgarity of their nature.
Observing the contrast between the wall outlet of consciousness and the power cord of the « dirtying machine » is the initial stage of investigation.
What happens if I leave it there,
If I don’t plug it in ?
How does this impact our experience of reality? I forget to plug in the cable.
A new morning dawns,
The sun rises over an unexplored world…and where each moment emerges, where the moment does not exist.
Where the screen electrifies before the pupil and creates incessant worlds,
Creates worlds and obscures worlds.

It is very difficult, conceptually, to differentiate consciousness and thought.
In this existence, both seem to appear as a phenomenon interpreted through the mind.
Perhaps the distinction is between active, generative processes which construct illusions, and observational processes, which simply perceive.
That is too simplistic a distinction, I think, but is a starting point

This generative/observational dichotomy encapsulates it better than anything else,
May I suggest a subdivision in the observational part between that which is observed and that which observes what is observed,
And yet another further dividing between…

… you will never find the observer if you subdivide endlessly looking for the one that encompasses all…

« Looking for » does not allow to hear Nature Calling.
This is why I have stopped believing in / practicing the Buddhist-type scientific approach to « matters » of consicousness
