The Masters' exhortations to abjure 'thinking' do not imply the suppression of thought but the reorientation, by articulation, of the impetus that results in dualistic thought into its im-mediate experience.

Suppressed thought is the negative aspect of the dualism 'thought-no-thought', another mode of thought itself and 'one half of a pair', whereas what the Masters mean is wu nien, which is the absence of both counterparts, thought and no-thought, which is the presence of the suchness of thought, and that is expressed in spontaneous Action (pure action arising from Non-action: Wu wei).

WU NIEN is the presence of the absence of no-thought.
