    All non-dual teachings say that what we seek is beyond mind..that it's not something that we think but that we experience. The quality of our thoughts in general should inherently become consistent, not as a result of us becoming better thinkers or something, but because the nature of negative thinking has outlived its usefulness and the quality of our experience improves as a result. The solution to going beyond mind can't be more mind; more thinking, analyzing whether we're doing the right thing etc..it's an endless loop. So we would expect that as we progress, in the higher states it isn't necessarily a question about the type of thought itself, but not being bound by thought in addition to the cessation of thought or the need to think. Regardless, we can have the experience of seeing our thoughts in all things and contradictions start presenting themselves, showing us directly how it's all an illusion.
     
    Various philosophies like Advaita Vedanta or Tibetan Buddhism speak at length of how thoughts themselves can be understood as objects..no different than a tree or your significant other. In this way we can simply look at our minds and watch as thoughts come and go without becoming attached to the thoughts themselves, and let go of the idea that we're somehow a bad person for having a certain thought. Our imaginations can of course run wild, but in general have you ever thought of something that isn't already in the world? The world itself therefore is our mind, the mind, our world. When we can accept it objectively we are also accepting the world.

    Thoughts come and go..a thought is just a thought that we can look at and let it be as it is..part of the process of acceptance and non-attachment.
