You're not piloting a bone mech, you are it.

It feels like you're behind your face looking out into the world but once you pay close attention and look for what's looking you'll discover there's nothing there. There's no "you" in a sense that there's someone behind the wheel. There's just consciousness. It feels like something to be. A subjective experience.

    'Look for what's looking' is something he often says in his daily meditation sessions on the Waking Up app, which famously frustrates people. 'There's just consciousness and its content' is also a direct quote from him.

    Neither of these he probably came up with by himself, but that's his way (and in my view, the best way) of saying it.
