Where is the watcher?
I was intrigued by Dzongsar Rinpoche's pithy comments regarding "the watcher" and how ego can recruit it into its retinue. Can someone give the exact quote?
Also, I am curious about where "the watcher" fits into mind. It seems to correlate with the seventh consciousness, but I don't think I've seen this connection made explicitly. Any thoughts or knowledge about this would be interesting...

Noel,
I don't have the quote, but its a great question. It occurred to me that its one of the koans of Mahamudra practice, as in the instructions to “Look directly, and then look at the looker,” or “Look directly, without someone looking or something that’s looked at.”
