So the leopard in your sig is there to startle the monkey...

Maybe it eventually takes a back seat to "non-conceptual awareness" ("reality"), but that certainly won't happen by suppressing it or trying to make "it" stop thinking. :tongue:

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I never said one had to "make" it do anything.
What I understood is that the goal of meditation is the end of thinking whatever technique is used. You don't need to meditate to observe the monkey mind at work.

If you've reached "the end of thinking", how do you fill out your W2?

As Eckhart Tolle would say, it's compulsive thinking that's the problem.

No, but you might to keep from acting on every impulse it generates and becoming lost in thought.
