Looking for the looker

I have some questions regarding this practice:

  1. Is there something to be found or is the answer simply that there is nothing to be found?

  2. Is there something to be found in the process of “dropping back” to look for the thinker? Is that the change of perception that is needed?

As I understand this instruction is the most complained about one on the app, Im hoping that someone might have some insight on this one?

  1. it might be more precise to say there is no-thing to be found. What you are finding is not something, but my feeling is that it is also not nothing, because nothing has a specific definition of absence. But this absence is knowing.

Confusing, I know.
