Why do you say that the separation from your thoughts is a source of misery? I think the identification with them is misery and pain.
Sorry about that. What I meant to say was, the me that wishes to separate itself from thought, is also thought. The separator (composed of thought) is trying to separate from perceived misery (from thought). That is the endless struggle and misery, because there is no escape.

The big question to ask is, if you are separating yourself from thought, what is it that is doing the separating? Is it also composed of thought? If it is composed of thought, can there be any escape?

Thanks for pointing that out.
