Is there a doer?

Is consciousness a doer of anything?

The question of choice and the question of the doer, these are two questions of the same thing.

Can there be a choice without a doer? Can there be a notion of a doer, I am doing this and that, without the capacity and the reality of endless choices?

So we question, who is the doer? It's a very simple question, although very deep, very profound.

You walk the street. Who is the doer of the walk that decide to stop, to turn right, to turn left?

You develop a product, you innovate. Who is the doer of the innovation? What manifests the creation of this project?

Reduce the observation, or expand it, depends how you look at it, to the doership of consciousness. Who is doing the thinking? And is thinking a product of choice?

Look at a branch moving in the wind, a branch of a tree. Is there a doer? Is the branch the doer? Or is it responding to the dynamics of the tree and the forces of the wind?

And the wind itself, who is the doer? Who is the force, the guiding force of the wind? Is there such a thing?

Or maybe the branch, the tree, the wind, and the movement is a choiceless expression of that which is.

And if you are willing to look at it like this, to consider it, to question it, can you do the same with regard to the activity of your consciousness? All the thinking, all the feeling, all the planning, all the changing, all that.

Is there a doer in consciousness? Is consciousness a doer of anything?

Or maybe all of that is an expression, choiceless expression of that which is?

Question that beyond conclusion, beyond ideas, beyond knowledge.
