Dear Luv22 - the way for a person to enter into Dhamma is to study and understand himself/herself.
If the Buddha spent his life time to find loves in the world, but does not spend time on study himself,
he would not be successful to be the Buddha.

The esence of Budhism is not "allowing greative thought that is based on truth, commen sense and harmony".
The essence of Budhism is to 'understand the truth' of our body and mind so that we could walk away from the sufferings,
and we can get out of the indefinite transmigration.

Different people could have 'different' greative thought or like.
For example, pasta may be delicious for ones but not for the others. Ones may like cold weather but the others may not.
So, 'thought' is not real, and Adhipanna-sikkha is not 'thinking'. The wisdom has to come from practicing real.
For example, a person can think or dream that he is a president or a miss universe but it is not real.

The praticing is to focus on something real. For example, happiness, unhappiness, angriness,
greed, suffering of ones and the others would be the same and is more real than thinking.
These books may be useful to you on the way of practing.
