Had a near death experience. Thinking is not necessarily your consciousness. Consciousness is a larger construct than an individual thought.
Agree with the above.
Most top athletes and people meditating train this state of "flow" (or presence) which they achieve with intense focus.
When in this state, it's quite obvious that there is a bigger self that is not thinking, but is quietly aware of the thinking and everything else that arises, and subsides...
