I am reminded of a pali word "tatramajjhatta" (a neutral state of mind). (To me) to be able to see, hear, taste, feel, ... receive (sensual objects) on our senses and calmly observe what we sense without regression/prediction/preference/ignorance is what we strive for as a Buddhist.

The world is what it does. We are what we do. But reality is really what we think!
