What does it mean when people say “you are not your thoughts”?

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it for a while now, and yeah, you are the conscious being that hears your thoughts, but how “deep” does that conscience go?

A good question I like to ask myself, and maybe it will help you too, is this:

“who is in charge, the thinker, or the thoughts?”

Im pretty sure I read the following in one of [Haemin Sunim’s](https://www.haeminsunim.com/) wonderful books, and I’ll try to paraphrase here:

We, as conscious beings, are like the sky – limitless and expansive.

Our thoughts, feelings, & emotions are like the clouds.

We cant control their coming and going, we can notice them as they appear, come and go, and disappear…while we remain the sky 🙂
