Very interesting. As a person who struggles with hundreds of thoughts flowing through my head at any given moment, I find this very interesting. I've always considered meditation as something that is well outside of my reach, but this seems like it might actually be do-able. In theory at least!
Yeah, you know the thing is in the West we have this idea that meditation is "stopping thinking" and so we try it, get frustrated when we can't stop thinking, and then give it up forever. But stopping thinking is impossible. Meditation isn't about that at all. It is about, in most styles, learning to ignore the mind's thoughts, or in zazen, watching the thoughts but not interacting with them. As someone who also struggles with hundreds of thoughts constantly running through my head, I assure you real meditation is something you can learn to do.
