I also agree with your description.

So if we go by this idea, the only way to ever stop thinking would be to remove all filters from your consciousness. When the stream of consciousness is no longer being shaped by a filter (which is any conditioning factor in your mind), you no longer have a shape, and hence, no thoughts.
In fact, Osho explains enlightenment as the state of being free from your past conditioning.
