I believe I addressed that point with " If you find thoughts entering your head, merely observe them and let them fall away into the past as you stay grounded in the Present". Personally, when I'm in a deep state of meditation towards the end of a session I feel so grounded that I don't have thoughts any more. I try to move beyond observing thoughts to a point where I have no thoughts, even if only for the last few minutes of my session. I'd like to be able to go 20 minutes straight in that deep meditative state one day. Thanks for keeping me in check though!

You're right, I reacted too fast to that particular sentence. I hear a lot of comments from people new to meditation (or even afraid to start) that they think it's the goal to clear your mind, while that's actually a result of another goal (being mindful). The way of phrasing it has an effect on how hard meditation sounds to people. I didn't mean to dispute your point, I mainly wanted to clarify it for others. But you did indeed explain the observation part well too.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful input. Never ever shy away from speaking your mind. I appreciate the engagement!
