What happens between two thoughts?

Master Kosen – Published on October 8 – thoughts

Question

I meditate regularly, and the space between thoughts is growing. When I observe myself during the day, I notice that between two thoughts I continue acting as usual. The question that concerns me is: what happens between two thoughts? What is there? I feel stuck, facing a wall. Apart from thoughts becoming less frequent, nothing happens. It makes me more available to what is happening around me, and that is all. What more should I understand?

Answer from Master Kosen

You do not understand that everything is thought. Consciousness equals thought. Between two thoughts there is non-consciousness.
