Is it possible to think about watching instead of watching the thinking?

Shift from thinking about watching to pure witnessing; observe your thoughts without judgment, like a mirror, and let the mind's chatter fade into silence.

— Osho
According to Osho, yes—you often think about watching instead of actually watching. The remedy is to shift from thinking to pure witnessing: observe thoughts (even thoughts about watching) without judgment, like a mirror. Persistent, choiceless watching brings light; the mind's chatter fades and finally disappears. Don't celebrate or condemn—any comment pulls you back into mind.

Don’t think about watching; just quietly look at your thoughts like a mirror without saying anything about them.
