Why does the mind always continue thinking? Is this just a habit?
Post Body

I have been recently able to just rest in existence after a lot of meditation practice. Thoughts only arise when needed, like "I need to go left here" or "buy this" And even for those, it can come via bodily intuition.

It makes me wonder - why does the mind always need to think? It can do more harm than good and we are not our minds. Has it just been the default mode for so long we forget other kinds of existing are possible?

It's possible for answers to come from deeper parts of our awareness than simply cognition.
