        ‘Look for what’s looking’ is something he often says in his daily meditation sessions on the Waking Up app, which famously frustrates people. ‘There’s just consciousness and its content’ is also a direct quote from him.

        Neither of these he probably came up with by himself, but that’s his way (and in my view, the best way) of saying it.

          Oh, sure, I’m familiar with the logic; I’ve meditated for years. And this is one of Buddhism’s core revelations:

          There’s no “you” in a sense that there’s someone behind the wheel.

          It’s very true of course, regardless of who is saying it - Sam, the Buddha, or anyone else.
