Contemplation vs. No-mind

[onacloudynight]

If one of the goals is to be in a state of no-mind all of the time, wouldn't contemplation get in the way and just fill your mind with more thoughts. What should I do about this dichotomy?

I think your understanding of no-mind is to never have thoughts, this is not necessary.

You need to think. But thoughts have overtaken us when have identified with them, they distort our reality. They basically don't stop running.

The aim is to think when you need to think, and don't think when you don't need to think.

When you need to contemplate, think of the answers yourself, from your own reasoning. When you don't contemplate, don't think.

Contemplation can also occur when you ponder a question with no mind and see what answers are revealed to you in your consciousness.
