In my current undurstanding of Buddhism , a thought is relection of " ourself" that resulted from our desire , compassion , emotions , love , ego , greed etc ...it is just a factor ...a tiny little factor in the process to free from own self ......that should never be regarded as a beliefs or faith but need to be challenged for better understanding .

Quote: " thought is thought"
.........

Beautiful! examination.

Quote: "Thought is creative. Thus the ending of thought means ending the creativity of thought. To meditation thought is thought. Just witnessing everything, moment within moment within moment. Meditation is the ending of thought."
.........

Thought is an abomination, thought persists

Creativity can influence thought

Creativity is a well spring within, thought will pick and choose what it wants to notice,

thought will rebel against what it doesn't want to notice.

Yes witness everything moment by moment

meditation is of itself, thoughtt is intrusive and persists

bring thought under the guidance of spirit and the domination of will

how so?  respect the temple within, listen to the temple sounds within

no need to act on it, no need to categorise it, just listen

thought persists, but can get forgotten by listening to the quietness getting louder.

Quote: "If you can brush your teeth, get dressed, and tie your shoes, then everything else will just fall into place. "
.........

Ah, so thats where Ive been going wrong. 

Thanks for correcting me.

I dont tie my shoes.  I wear moccasins.

Quote: "Itch*"

Quote: "Come back when you know yourself."
.........

I can remember when I didnt know nothing yet,

but now I do !!  Oh, what a difference that doesnt make.

Thought is intrusive and persists only as long as you care about it. 

If you give it weight it will weigh you down.

One day in meditation I distinctly heard, *Your grandfather sucks cucks in Hell.*

I laughed and replied inwardly, *What a tawdry play on dialogue from the Exorcist. Shame on you.*

Shook my head and returned to the peace and stillness of my meditation.  It didnt happen again.

You have to get past the gargoyles to get into the cathedral so you can pray,

figuratively speaking.

Quote: "When you see into your being, and so realise the no-thingness of all beings, you will know yourself as that which cannot be divided. This knowing, is in truth, an unknowing. "
.........

Yeah, what you said.

What is Truth I cannot say, but can only point to what is true.

your truth, my truth and HER truth.

Does everyones truth is different? (a simple question come to my mind now)

answer is about interconnectedness I think.

"Thought is creative. Thus the ending of thought means ending the creativity of thought. To me thought is thought. And I struggle sometimes with purpose of action. Because I am. Nothing is."

----------------------------------------------------

The Spirit put a slightly different spin on this for me in meditation,

she said, *Because I am nothing, nothing is.* 

Im not saying that is the Truth, just saying that I can see how that is true.

Quote: "Clouds are like visitors overstaying a welcome. "
.........

I think Ben Franklin said,

*A man will tire of rain, fish, or house guests, in about three days.*

Quote: "Welcome rain."
.........

Not if you have rain, plus

a house guest who smells like fish,

for more than three days.

Quote: "- Ta-t
Worldly afflictions are as extensive as an ocean, noisy and clamorous; but they all arise from the thoughts in your own mind. When not a single thought is conceived, you are liberated from them all."
.........

There is nothing to fear by your Self,

and what would be the point in that ?

Round Midnight

What do you mean by constant thought?

Can you please explain..

Quote: "I suppose it was satori. Because I still feel it after 10 years. And i dont think its going away anytime soon. The experience itself was stupid but it was the feeling that was real."
.........

Satori comes in many forms.  I havent heard two stories exactly alike.  But what is imparted seems to be universal, an understanding of nothingness, or isness, whatever you want to call it.

I also have never heard of the process reversing, unlike kensho.

Quote: "I suppose..."
.........

True satori left no doubt.

Quote: "I Love. No doubt."
.........

Satori No doubt.Satori No doubt.Satori No doubt.(3 times after Heart Sutra)
