That's true. A lot of Buddhist-type spiritual culture is about that, about clearing the mind of thoughts that bedevil it. I suppose mental control or mental discipline means that you are able to switch thinking on and off, which can be a challenge (I've overposted). But the idea that human salvation lies in in stopping to think, is not an idea I would go a long with, we do need to think. J.
