I mean I listened to the audio on the link Tee provided (though to be honest the site itself looks questionable). He mentioned Zen monks saying how you are the space between thoughts and not the thoughts themselves or the responses, but I don’t think so. I mean just because people are a certain way or their personally is so doesn’t mean they have to be on all the time, it’s more like how they respond to the world around them. I wouldn’t call the “real you” the space between those moments.
