“Stop thinking too much” should not mean “stop reasoning”
There is something very true about the conceps of mind- aware- and now ( the ultimate novel) heartfullness. Nevertheless, the mainstream divulgation of such concepts confuses the idea of stop thinking with stop reasoning .
What else is the epokhé Husserls about? Its about “cleaning” the thoughts also, getting to a new level of consciousness. What for him was a fundamental act of consciousness did not mean that you stop reasoning, but that you improve the condition of your reasoning. As much as the meditation practice, Husserl speak about the consciousness as the core fundation of our primary intuition of the reality and the perceptions and interpretations related to it.
If this new non-religious meditation mainstream doesn’t speak about reasoning and meditation togheter, then we can “just stop thinking”, take some old mystical drugs, and celebrate our cultural decline right now.
Because a thing out of its predetermined order and context can be so harmful as the Sun trying to move like the Moon.
