that when a pupil was complaining that he can't stop thinking/give inner dialogue a rest, the master advised him to think all that he can. AFAIK the point of Buddhism is not to discourage anything but to overcome fears and other forms of suffering. The same master mentioned and stressed the duality and/or unity of form and no-form. What form do you give to no-form?

Monism, dualism, holy Trinity and Infinite forms of infinities bring to mind Gödel's proof that any logical system containing number theory contains statements that cannot be proven inside a finite set of axioms. So what is this obsession to count, to keep numbering?

Information theory is still centered around the binary dualism of either-or, though models of quantum computation have introduced also the notion of qubit and superposition of binary opposition. Is that a Middle Way?
