                                                           I know that a Student of Zen, whose Zen Master's Teaching is 
"Don't Know",  must be in the midst of a quandary .   How can a Zen Student actually PROMOTE "Thinking" ?  You can see it rite* ?   As I stated above, I equate >thinking< with >caring< so what I am actually promoting is >CARING< .   Besides, Zen Master Seung Sahn did NOT Teach, "Don't Think"  Zen Dogma is "Don't ATTACH to Thinking" .   However, in Zen Sword, if one is to advance to the "Upper Realms" it is IMPERATIVE to "Cut Thinking", to DISABLE the Thinking Mechanism itself, and this is achieved by meditation of one's Sword Forms .   There IS a Difference, but this discussion must be kept in abeyance until a more appropriate time arrives .       

                                Check out the 2nd definition of >consider< this one found in Webster's New World  College Dictionary, "...... to THINK about in order to understand or decide ......" .   That 's IT rite there .

                                 Mainstream and main-river communications value Thinking in its manifestations of >care, TO care< and >consideration< .   In fact, we loath those that do NOT >>>Care, [Think] and those that are "inconsiderate",,   where inconsiderate MEANS "Thoughtless" .   We sometimes even ADMIRE those that are "Thoughtful" {FULL of Thought} .   Indeed, one of my absolutely FAVORITE Songs by Madonna is, "THINK OF ME" .    {{{For what it's worth, the only Madonna album you will ever need is her First}}} .   

                               Bottom ____________  =  Thinking is Caring, Caring is Thinking .  No Thinking No Caring---No Caring, No thinking .  [We are safe with this] .
