Hi Moviestar,
My current realization is that thought can never cease to exist, for thought is what creates the universe. In the Hindu philosophy, the universe is thought to be a dream of Brahman--created by the cosmic mind.
Thought can only fall into natural rhythm. The natural rhythm is the disconnected thoughts you have mentioned. You are simply being and not creating a story using these thoughts. There is this one thought trying to connect other thoughts to create a story. You can call this mediating thought as, "ego, mind or limited self or whatever." As long as this mediating thought is there the thought cannot fall into its natural rhythm and be one with life. If we can remember the state, it is a thought induced state in the realm of experience. The techniques for expanding the silent space between the thoughts were designed to arrive at a state where you (the mediating thought) breakdown and cease to exist. But, again these are all concepts and more concepts we accumulate the more difficult it will be for us to let go.
I have read the following book a couple of times and it helped me drop a few of my perceptions/conceptions: "The Mystique of Enlightenment" These were interviews with U.G. Krishnamurthi (*not* J. Krishnamurthi). Someone compiled some of them into a book. U.G. wanted to call this book, a "Mistake of Enlightenment." You can read this book and others online at
(U.G.Krishnamurti) .
