Thanks,

I'm taking the time to download that while I give the second link a read.

It might be a well timed response because I recently was impressed by someone on another forums their feelings that we should work towards ceasing all thoughts.

I can enact the muscle of my brain that stops thoughts - but it seems like such an antithesis to the spirit of mindfulness and acceptance of life that I've been finding in a lot of eastern thought.

I realize I can't stop my terribly rookie philosophical thoughts and I realize I like being confused and struggling with concepts. It just gets tiring.
