The Awareness of the Presence of the Mind

With conscious attention, it goes into thought and off you go. You are not aware of yourself as the presence any more. And then you may find that sometimes, or increasingly, the space between thoughts gets longer. As more space, there is more spaciousness, then within you more spaces between thoughts. In your daily life you're partly engaged in thinking and partly just dwelling in the awareness. Even while you're thinking, the can still be unawareness in the background. There's a noticeable difference in the way in which you deal with things, talk to people,. Between those two states of being totally drawn into thought and being able to in daily interactions.
